“How can you tell?” Qi Qingyao’s voice was very soft and slow, and one could hardly hear any emotions from it.
Gongsun She a.n.a.lyzed the situation and said, “Everyone says that your Si Jin is a grand master but the two of us have been in Qingzhou City for so long yet we have never seen him.”
“Is he afraid of death, or…has he already left Qingzhou City?”
“If he has left Qingzhou City, the two of us joining forces to take you away can definitely lure him out.”
After saying these three sentences, Gongsun She’s expression became even more deep and profound, like a vague rainy day combined with damp winds. “Looking at it another way, we have both been here for half an hour but the young grand master has not appeared, which suggests one thing—he might have already left you.”
“…” Light and shadow flickered in Qi Qingyao’s dazed eyes, but she said not a word.
Gongsun She licked his dry lips and whispered, “Your trump card is gone. That’s why you can only bluff and bl.u.s.ter.”
Qi Qingyao, “…”
“Looks like I hit the nail on the head.” Gongsun She smiled faintly and asked, “Is that right?”
Qi Qingyao, “…” ‘F*ck, as if you’re right!’
Gongsun She observed Qi Qingyao’s silence and knew he had guessed right. Instantly becoming more energetic, he added, “Since you are useful to me, I don’t want to be rough to you. You’d better follow me obediently now.”
“Will you start killing if I don’t go with you?” The little lady’s eyes were black, s.h.i.+ning, and her voice was crisp. Her smile was calm.
“I will.” Gongsun She knew Si Jin was not around and so revealed his true self. He threatened her, “If I can’t use you, I will just destroy you.”
Pang Juan was very satisfied with Gongsun She’s a.n.a.lysis and threats. As long as the little lady was willing to go with them and help them both break through, everything would be great.
Hearing this, Qi Qingyao certainly felt as if the air had become sticky; it was a sense of oppression that could only belong to a grand master. It made her feel as if her breathing had become slow. She took in a breath forcefully and rounded the three silent men.
“Do all three of you not have any objections?”
Jiang Yeqian asked, “Do you really have no way of calling for Si Jin?”
Qi Qingyao was slightly stunned. Her black eyes were filled with curiosity. “What method can I possibly use to call forth a grand master?”
Jiang Yeqian disregarded Pang Juan and Gongsun She’s existence and said boldly to her, “I feel that that kid is amazing, so just try and shout!” These words were meant to comfort her, but they were also a bet! He was betting on the kid’s uniqueness.
Qi Qingyao abruptly supported herself on the handrail and stood up. She wanted to go to the courtyard and call for him but her feet were so heavy that she could not lift them. She knew that she had no choice and there was no more room for thinking. She could only bet on it.
With that.
Qi Qing exerted her throat, exhausting all her strength.
“Si Jin——!!!”
The penetration of her voice was not strong, but it carried very strong emotions and longing.
Then, she shouted three more words.
“I miss you!!!”
These three words carried the young woman’s whimper and a hint of terrified helplessness.
After Qi Qingyao was done shouting, she felt her entire body become somewhat weaker.
She sat on the chair and started panting.
There was silence in the side hall.
The scalps of the several servants outside the hall, as well as Steward Zhang, went numb.
That was because, even if they could not see it, they could already guess that blades had been drawn in the hall!
To have the Missus shout Si Jin’s name so loudly and helplessly out of nowhere, it seemed that the situation had already reached an extreme tension.
What use was this shout, however?
Water that was far away could not put out a fire so close!
It was completely futile.
