Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The room that Qi Qingyao was staying in was the most luxurious in the inn. The triplets were sleeping soundly on the four-poster bed and Qi Qingyao was sleeping on the arhat bed outside. She listened to the triplets’ shallow breathing in the inner room but she was sleepless.
After all, she realized just from looking at Jiang Yeqian’s expression that he could not be the eighth grand master that appeared on the mainland.
If it was Li Ruoxuan, her plan for vengeance and everything else down the road would become very, very complicated.
She could not wait on this matter until tomorrow. Although she promised Jiang Yeqian to keep quiet on the subject, it was impossible for her not to talk to someone about it.
Qi Qingyao got up and quickly ground some ink with the moonlight. Then, she scribbled down a few words on a piece of paper and took this small note out the door.
As soon as she exited her room, she was startled by the tiger guard in the corridor. The guard likely did not expect her to come out in the middle of the night and pretended not to see her, their head still facing downward. Zhao Xin was keeping watch at Jiang Yeqian’s door. When he saw Qi Qingyao, he was startled but did not say a word. He observed her movements quietly.
Zhu Shen and Dong Jing also saw her while they were on their respective duties. They opened their eyes slightly and observed Qi Qingyao.
After closing the door, Qi Qingyao walked toward Lu Yan’s room.
Dong Jing, “…”
After she made her way over, Qi Qingyao pointed to the door of the room and then at herself.
Dong Jing inexplicably had some stray thoughts and blushed a little embarra.s.sedly. He immediately knocked on the door for Qi Qingyao.
Someone inside answered very quickly.
“Who is it?”
“Master, the Missus is looking for you,” Dong Jing whispered cautiously.
“Which Missus?” said the voice from inside the room. Then there was a pause.
Dong Jing was silent for a moment and said, “Lady Qi.”
A candle was quickly lit inside the room before the voice called out again.
“Send her in.”
Dong Jing immediately opened the door and ushered Qi Qingyao in. Then he quickly closed the door tightly.
After Qi Qingyao entered, she saw a man in a white robe, his hair a little messy. He was not as neat and beautiful as usual but looked more beautiful in a rougher way.
Lu Yan put a hand on the door frame of the inner room as he looked at her.
Just as he was about to speak.
Qi Qingyao opened the note and asked him to read it without saying anything.
Lu Yan lowered his head.
It read: [There’s something I want to discuss with you.]
Lu Yan glanced at her suspiciously. He was about to say something, but Qi Qingyao stopped him. She pointed to the desk and Lu Yan reluctantly walked over and wrote: [We can’t speak?]
Qi Qingyao picked up another brush and silently wrote: [The walls have ears.]
Lu Yan was utterly confused. He yawned and wrote back: [Then, write it out.]
Qi Qingyao pursed her lips and pondered for a moment. Then, with a somewhat imposing expression, she wrote: [There is a very important reason why old man Gongsun hasn’t left Qingzhou City. He said that the eighth grand master has appeared on the mainland.]
“….” Lu Yan looked at the line of words on the paper, his expression dark.
Qi Qingyao knew he did not want to believe it, so she wrote again: [He said that there are not many rank nine powerhouses in Qingzhou City. He suspects that it was either Li Ruoxuan or Jiang Yeqian. If it was one of the two, who do you think it would be?]
Lu Yan glanced at her words. He then walked over and picked up the teapot. He did not usually drink tea overnight, but at this moment, his head was buzzing.. He urgently needed something to wake him up, so he poured himself the remaining tea in the teapot, picked up the cup, and dumped it into his mouth.
