Like an immortal, an elegant man, draped in flowing white, stood gracefully atop a flying beast Proud, aloof and domineering. In spite of wearing a mask, it still couldn"t hide his exquisite jawline, straight nose and perfect lips. Those alone was already enough to make one infatuated about the face underneath.However, his eyes were a layer of ice, enough to freeze anyone to ice. But if one could look under the cold layer of ice, one could see the storm of emotions in them. His lips pressed together in impatience, while his hand is tightly clenching onto a jade pendant.
"Soon", the man thought as he looked out into the far distance. "Soon enough, I"ll see you again."
-------------------------------------------------------
Hiding among the leaves, a handsome adolescent sat atop the tree. His posture was lazy and his lips were curved into a lethargic smile. But whereas his eyes should have held the innocence and naivety of youth, it was silent with a hint of ruthlessness.
Watching a little girl below with his probing gaze, he took notes of her every movement. The little girl was no doubt exceptionally pretty with her bright eyes and red lips like a flower, but she has yet matured into a beauty. Still, dressed in light blue, the little girl exuded an aura of calmness. An aura that should not be possible for a child.
Yet, it made Qiu Zhi raised his guard even higher. The girl was no other than Xi Rin, but he knows that"s not who she really is. This 13-years-old child was no other than the Third Miss of the n.o.ble Li family, Rena Li. An ident.i.ty that should not be provoked. But it was her eyes that alarmed him.
No 13-years-old child should be able to venture into an unknown forest by themselves with such a calm temper. Especially one of her ident.i.ty. But in spite of that, this miss"s eyes were calm without a ripple of fear nor nervousness. It held tranquillity and wisdom that cannot be concealed within its depth. A silent coldness that can make one"s bones shivers.
Just who is this girl? Accompanying her ident.i.ty was a reputation known for being a complete trash at magic and the unfavored daughter of a concubine, this girl is supposed to be utterly harmless. With such ident.i.ty and reputation, Qiu Zhi is certain that she is not working with those people. Over the past week, he can safely confirm that she has no harmful intentions. But what are her true motives?
Why was her body in the river? How did she revive? Why didn"t she reveal her ident.i.ty as "Rena Li" Even with such a reputation, that ident.i.ty is still something that would make others bow down in respect.
So, just what secrets are you hiding? What games are you playing at, Xi Rin?
Still sitting lazily on the tree, Qiu Zhi looked exactly like an evildoer. His lethargic smile has long been replaced with a devilish one. Handsome and breathtaking, he allures anyone who dares to lay eyes on him. Like a silent tiger waiting to strike its prey, his beauty was alluring, but nonetheless deadly and lethal.
Even now when she is faced with a demon beast that will certainly kill her, Qiu Zhi still sat there leisurely without raising a single muscle. Smiling evilly, he"ll see if she truly is harmless or not.
As for Xi Rin, she doesn"t know whether or not to cry because of the gigantic lightning horned snake which is in front of her.
