Chapter 7: A Knock at the Door


The child's words made Jiang Jinghong stand up immediately.

Looking at Lian'er with sharp eyes, Lian'er quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing.

Pouting her little lips, Lian'er jumped down from the stool, lowered her head, and stood there, as if she had made a mistake and was ready to be punished by an adult.

When Shen Yunyou saw Lian'er's pitiful look, his heart softened.

No matter what, the child is innocent.

Jiang Jinghong didn't make a sound for a long time, which made Lian'er turn her head in confusion and look at her secretly.

Unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Jinghong's wrist being tightly held by Ye Zixuan.

"Sit down and eat."

Ye Zixuan looked up at Jiang Jinghong and spoke calmly.

But to the ears of others, these words cannot be violated at all.

Jiang Jinghong took a deep breath, brushed her clothes and sat down.

Just his eyes never left Lian'er's body, so Lian'er could only stand there without daring to move.

It wasn't until Ye Zixuan carried her onto the stool that Lian'er obediently picked up the rice bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the white rice in the bowl without saying a word.

With such an episode, the atmosphere at the table was naturally not much better.

Although Yun Qingshan and Xuan Mo kept talking, trying to adjust the atmosphere, it was obvious that the effect was not very good.

The meal was quickly finished in a dull mood.

Shen Yunyou wiped the corner of her mouth and watched Lian'er walking past her, looking like she was about to cry.

She wanted to make the child happy, but due to her identity and position, she couldn't do it.

"Miss Shen."

Jiang Jinghong walked slowly to Shen Yunyou and said with a forced smile: "Children talk nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Shen Yunyou shook his head gently, looking at Jiang Jinghong's beautiful facial features, he felt very complicated.

Jiang Jinghong is a very beautiful woman.

She was so beautiful that Shen Yunyou, a woman, couldn't help but want to praise her.

But such a beautiful woman has been willing to stay with Ye Zixuan for so many years and waited for so many years.

And that Lian'er.

Shen Yunyou thought that if Ye Zixuan didn't come here often, the children wouldn't be so clingy to him.

Although the speaker didn't mean what Lian'er said, every listener meant it.

"If I have a chance in the future, can I still come here?"

Shen Yunyou suddenly spoke and asked proactively.

Shen Yunyou's words made Jiang Jinghong and Ye Zixuan stunned, and they all looked at Shen Yunyou with strange eyes.

Shen Yunyou glanced at the expressions of the two people and said with a smile: "If I can, I will definitely come again."

Jiang Jinghong looked at Shen Yunyou intently, and after a while, she smiled relievedly.

He nodded and said: "You are welcome to come at any time."

After eating and drinking, they were ready to continue on their way.

Before leaving, Lian'er appeared in the yard again.

However, she did not run in front of them, but hid far away, looking at Ye Zixuan with longing eyes, without daring to say a word.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yunyou motioned for Ye Zixuan to pass.

Ye Zixuan had no choice but to walk slowly to Lian'er and squat down.

"Will you come to see Lian'er again?"

Lian'er pulled Ye Zixuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"As long as you obey the master's words, I will definitely come to see you again."

"Don't lie" "I'm not lying."

Ye Zixuan smiled and touched Lian'er's head.

The smile on his face made Lian'er, who had never seen him smile before, dumbfounded.

After saying goodbye to the little one, the few of them got into the car and continued on their way.

Jiang Jinghong stood at the door of the courtyard, watching Ye Zixuan and others leave.

Putting her right hand on her chest, feeling the extremely clear feeling of heartache, Jiang Jinghong slowly raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a sad smile.

Lost, just lost.

Her years of waiting were still worthless in his eyes.

Shen Yunyou got into the car and rested his head on Ye Zixuan's shoulder, remaining silent.

Seeing her unhappy look, Ye Zixuan didn't ask any more questions, just waiting for her to take the initiative to talk to him.

After walking for more than half an hour, Shen Yunyou finally spoke.

Slowly sitting up straight, Shen Yunyou asked in a low voice: "Hasn't that Lian'er been out of the mountains?"

"Well."

Ye Zixuan didn't expect that she would ask about Lian'er, "Jiang Jinghong has never taken her out since he brought her back.

Lian'er also always felt that if the master didn't take her out, there would be something wrong.

Other reasons.

That’s why we expect an outsider to take her and the master out of the mountains.”

Ye Zixuan's words made Shen Yunyou silent again.

Jiang Jinghong doesn't look like a nosy woman.

Why did she pick Lian'er back in the first place?

Thinking of this, Shen Yunyou couldn't help but glance at Ye Zixuan.

Lian'er must have been taught how to raise Gu by Jiang Jinghong.

Shen Yunyou could tell that Jiang Jinghong's feelings for Ye Zixuan were not ordinary deep.

If she wanted to, she could use the Love Gu on Ye Zixuan to make Ye Zixuan fall in love with her.

But, she didn't.

Is Jiang Jinghong afraid of Ye Zixuan and the people around him, or does she not want to use this method on the man she loves?

Shen Yunyou was puzzled by the solution to this problem, so he left it alone.

But she never thought that in the days to come, her guess would become a reality.

Traveling day and night, a few people arrived at a small town in the early morning of the next day.

Because they wanted to investigate the affairs of Yuan Ruoning and others, Ye Zixuan and Shen Yunyou decided to stay here for a few days before leaving.

I found an inn and opened four rooms.

Because Ye Zixuan and the other three had changed their appearance overnight, there were no accidents along the way.

Shen Yunyou entered the inn and went directly back to the room.

After lying in the carriage all night, he was not as comfortable as in bed.

Shen Yunyou rolled on the bed and saw Ye Zixuan standing in the middle of the room with a smile in his eyes, staring at her.

Shen Yunyou sat up awkwardly, smoothed his messy hair, and asked, "Don't you have something to do?"

"Don't come with me" "No, I want to take a rest."

Shen Yunyou shook his head, smiled and waved to Ye Zixuan.

"Go early and come back early."

Ye Zixuan walked out of Shen Yunyou's room, and Shen Yunyou's body relaxed.

Falling on the bed, Shen Yunyou touched the human skin mask on his face, sighed, and closed his eyes.

In his mind, Lian'er's appearance appeared involuntarily.

Slowly brushing his hands on his lower abdomen, Shen Yunyou bit the corners of his lips, his mind in confusion.

But soon, Shen Yunyou calmed down and cleared his mind.

Shen Yunyou took a nap for an hour.

When he woke up, Ye Zixuan had not come back yet.

Shen Yunyou, who had nothing to do, had to stay with Xuan Mo when he couldn't find Yun Qingshan.

The two of them lay bored at the window, watching the people coming and going below.

After so many days together, Xuan Mo has become accustomed to Shen Yunyou and Ye Zixuan being equally strong.

So Xuan Mo couldn't adapt to Shen Yunyou's sudden silence.

"Are you worried?"

Xuan Mo struggled for a long time and finally couldn't help asking.

"Where did you see it?"

Shen Yunyou asked, looking downstairs intently.

"Face."

Xuan Mo answered Shen Yunyou's question succinctly, and then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Shadow bullied you."

Xuan Mo's thief voice finally made Shen Yunyou look at him.

"Brother Xuan, don't you hate him?"

"Who does Shadow hate?"

Xuan Mo did not expect that Shen Yunyou would ask such a question.

After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and asked, "Why do you hate him?"

"Without him, wouldn't you still be living a stable and peaceful life in front of your great benefactor?"

"People like me live a life of today and no tomorrow.

It's the same everywhere."

Xuan Mo walked to the table, sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and talked to Shen Yunyou with a look of great vicissitudes of life.

And talk.

"No matter what the reason is, let me follow Shadow here.

In short, I am not at a disadvantage.

Moreover, I also want to see with my own eyes what kind of life a person like him leads."

Following Ye Zixuan around here and there, I still didn’t suffer any loss.

Shen Yunyou thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled slyly and asked, "Brother Xuan, you must have stolen a lot of good things before, right?

Where are they hidden?"

"Why are you asking this?"

Xuan Mo looked at Shen Yunyou cautiously, feeling that Shen Yunyou's smile was a bit chilling down the back.

"Just a casual question, why are you so nervous?"

Shen Yunyou rolled his eyes at Xuan Mo, "Look at your potential."

After saying that, Shen Yunyou continued to lean against the window and look at the scenery outside the window.

The town they were in now was located in the middle of Qitian Kingdom.

But even though this place is still some distance from the border, the war between Keqi Heaven Kingdom and Longming Kingdom will inevitably affect this place.

A war between the two countries will definitely hurt people and money.

Everyone knows that the food and clothing needed at the border are not only obtained from the national treasury, but also from the hands of ordinary people.

Shen Yunyou narrowed his eyes slightly and watched a group of soldiers and horses approaching slowly not far away.

Shen Yunyou suddenly remembered something.

Fingers kept dancing on the window sill.

Shen Yunyou originally wanted to ask Ye Zixuan something after he came back.

But Ye Zixuan left for a whole day.

Shen Yunyou didn't see Ye Zixuan until he was getting ready to go to bed at night.

Neither Yun Qingshan nor Xuan Mo knew where he had gone, so Shen Yunyou had no choice but to go to bed and rest.

Late at night, there was a knock on Shen Yunyou's door.

Chen Yunyou opened his eyes drowsily and looked in the direction of the door, feeling quite sober.

Who could it be at this time, Ye Zixuan?

He usually enters the room without saying hello.

Shen Yunyou cautiously picked up the dagger beside his pillow and sat on the bed without moving.

After a while, the knock on the door disappeared, and the person outside the door seemed to have left.

Shen Yunyou sat on the bed with a frown on his face, wondering who the knocker was.
