Chapter 12: Rumours
"Meeting your younger sister makes you so happy, Fourth Sister?" Ye Qing Luo smiled sweetly and laughed, as she lightly stepped closer to Ye Qing Ling.
Ye Qing Ling was startled as she took a step back: "You…you..aren"t you supposed to be in the Inn?"
"Hmm.. Why would I be at the Inn?"
Ye Qing Luo tilted her head in question: "Two hours ago, wasn"t it Fourth Sister who asked me to cover you so that you and Yuchi Family"s Fourth Master could meet in private?"
"You! What nonsense are you spouting?!" Ye Qing Ling"s eyes widened and reached her hands out to yank Ye Qing Luo"s sleeves. "When did I ever meet Yuchi Fourth Master in private? Preposterous! Such nonsense coming out from the mouth of a mere waste?"
Ye Qing Luo returned with an expression filled with surprise. "Fourth Sister came back first without telling me, I"ve been covering for you all these while… yet Fourth Sister is treating me like that…"
Her voice wasn"t too loud yet it was definitely audible and the right volume that everyone around her could hear every single word clearly.
Ye Qing Luo gently brushed off Ye Qing Ling"s hands that clung onto her sleeves.
She smoothed out the creases and smiled, "Fourth Sister, I"ve already helped you cover for two hours, I"ll first return home."
Speaking which, she turned and walked in the direction of Three Springs.
The surrounding crowd saw this situation and chose to believe the words of Ye Qing Luo.
After all… looking at her dressing and demeanor, that did not look like someone who had been abducted to an Inn by some fiends.
Her clothes were neat and her hair was also not the least bit messy.
But rather, Ye Qing Ling"s expression was uncomfortable and looked as if she was hiding something behind her rage.
"You"re not allowed to leave!" Ye Qing Ling screamed out, her face was flushed, with the wave of her hands, she brandished a long sword that was enveloped with a blue aura.
She leapt straight at the departing figure in front of her.
For the Ye Qing Luo whose body had already fully recovered, with her extraordinary perception from her past which had long been a part of her, she could easily sense the intense murderous intent coming from behind.
Before the blade could reach her, Ye Qing Luo"s body twisted strangely and she rolled to the side, closely avoiding the sword"s edge.
"You little waste! You dare to actually dodge!" Ye Qing Ling"s sword slashed into thin air, fuming mad, she slashed and slashed again, missing Ye Qing Luo closely on each occasion.
"Fourth Sister, are you stupid? You are trying to kill me, why can"t I dodge?" Ye Qing Luo said sweetly in a mocking tone, her toes landed on the ground gently as she gracefully retreated to a safe distance in a moment.
Ye Qing Ling was furious and she leapt ahead with her sword aimed viciously once again, yet Ye Qing Luo had effortlessly dodged it.
She then cast Ye Qing Ling a provocative smile, and turned to return to Three Springs.
Ye Qing Ling was in a daze, that waste had actually avoided two of her strikes. She tightened her grip on the sword"s hilt until her fingers were pale.
"Stop that Little Waste for me!" Ye Qing Ling"s face pretty face was now contorted in anger as she had on a malicious sneer. "Little Waste! Who says you can go back! Let me tell you this, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is now at Three Springs and he is going to annul your marriage!"
Several brawny men rushed forward, blocking her path to return.
Hearing the words of Ye Qing Ling, Ye Qing Luo"s expression changed.
She lifted her delicate face looked at Ye Qing Ling her beautiful eyes sparkled as she asked, "The Crown Prince?"
"That"s right! Haven"t you been sticking to him all the time? Haha, the main reason for His Royal Highness visit today is precisely to dissolve the marriage arrangement between you and him! No matter what, I will not let you through these doors!"
When Ye Qing Ling saw Ye Qing Luo"s reaction to the withdrawal of marriage, her lips curled up into a triumphant smile.
