Chapter 104: Don’t Know How to Hide Something
Lin Jiang’s eyes flashed and he smiled obediently. “That’s true.”
How could there be so many coincidences in this world?
Lu Sheng happened to come to the Thousand Leaf Inn, and the Third Prince happened to ‘mistake’ her for an old friend.
Who would believe him if he told them?
Of course, some fools might believe him.
For example, Mu Yan and Lu Ran.
Mu Yan believed him because he felt that Lu Sheng, who was just a farm girl, would not have the chance to know the high and mighty Third Prince.
The reason why Lu Ran believed him was because he could not believe that his introverted sister would know someone like the Third Prince.
“Brother, aren’t you going for a lake tour? Let’s go.”
Lu Sheng looked up and smiled at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran glanced at her and nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Yu Yang nodded at Lu Sheng and bowed to the Third Prince with Lin Jiang and the rest before leaving.
Before Lu Sheng left, she glared at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou watched them leave and fell into deep thought.
It seemed like he had to think carefully about what to give to that girl to appease her anger.
“Since you’re here, why don’t we go to the lake together?” suggested Mu Yan.
Lu Sheng lifted her head to look at the sky. She realized that the sun, which was initially covered by thick clouds, had unknowingly risen.
Blue clouds started to appear in the sky.
It seemed like the weather was going to be good.
However, she was bent on getting Lu Zhou to help solve the shop’s problem and did not want to tour the lake. Hence, she shook her head and rejected him.
“No, I’ve been out for a long time. It’s time to go back.”
Mu Yan looked regretful. “Then, we’ll wait for the next time.”
Lu Sheng nodded and chatted with Lu Ran before leaving.
Lin Jiang’s gaze flickered. When everyone’s gaze was on Lu Sheng, he nodded at a man in black not far away.
The man in black understood and nodded at him. Then, he flashed in the direction where Lu Sheng left.
“The boat is here. Let’s go.”
After the man in black left, Lin Jiang smiled and said to them.
The few of them boarded the s.h.i.+p and cruised the lake.
Lu Sheng’s intuition had always been accurate. Not long after she left, she felt like she was being watched.
She deliberately walked around a few alleys before pasting the Invisibility Talisman on herself.
After a while, a man in black appeared in front of her.
“Strange. She was still here just now.”
The man in black frowned and looked around in confusion.
Seeing that he did not have any murderous intent towards her, Lu Sheng could not be bothered to bicker with him.
She waited for him to leave before leaving the alley.
She returned to the Thousand Leaf Inn. When she entered, she saw Lu Zhou drinking tea alone in a corner.
The inn was empty. Other than him, the shopkeeper, and a few busy waiters, there were no other guests.
The moment she entered, Lu Zhou looked up.
A troubled expression appeared on his handsome face.
Before he could think of what to give her, the girl came back.
He stood up and went to the second floor. Lu Sheng hurried after him.
As she was in a hurry, she accidentally tripped over a waiter and almost fell.
Thankfully, she had a strong foundation and managed to stabilize herself in time.
The waiter looked around and scratched the back of his head, confused.
Lu Zhou turned his head and looked at her helplessly. He shook his head and continued walking up the wooden ladder.
He opened his room and stood at the door, waiting for Lu Sheng to enter before closing the door.
After some thought, he took out a Soundproof Talisman and pasted it on the door.
After entering, Lu Sheng tore off her Invisibility Talisman and questioned coldly, “Master, did you do it on purpose today?”
This old man did not think about his current ident.i.ty and hers. He did not know how to keep a low profile in front of others.
