Ming Ming raised his voice as if he was frightened: "People from the state capital? Wang, my subordinates have received secret information that the state capital may be in cahoots with Mo Palace."
Ao Chenye's brows were frivolous, but his eyes were filled with sharp murderous intent: "Oh? So... I will clear away the smoky atmosphere in the state capital."
Fresh and clean air is suitable for his little cutie to live in.
"Leng Yun, take a few people to clean up this place, and then go back to the inn to report the follow-up situation to me."
"Yes." Leng Yun accepted the order and responded.
After that, he looked hesitantly at the alley in front of him. It was empty. Why did he always feel that the figure he looked at there just now was emitting an uneasy emotion?
Ao Chenye glanced at Leng Yun's aware expression indifferently, and the corners of his lips curled up without leaving any trace.
As expected of those who have been around him since childhood, they can detect subtleties that others cannot.
Feeling very pleased, he patted Leng Yun on the shoulder, and then disappeared silently into the golden light emanating from his body, coming and going without a trace.
After Ao Chenye left, Sister Tomorrow stepped forward, looked at the alley ahead, and then turned to look at Leng Yun.
"Leng Yun, did you discover something?"
After a thoughtful pause, Leng Yun shook his head silently and uncertainly: "I can't tell clearly, but it feels like it's not a bad thing."
The feeling is ambiguous, and I can only say ambiguous things, because even he can't explain it clearly.
Mingyue said simply and cheerfully: "Forget it, the king's thoughts are always so unpredictable. We just need to act according to the order. As long as we get things done according to the king's instructions, we won't delay things."
"That's right." Tomorrow agreed.
So, the three of them summoned other followers to clean up the scene together.
…
On the other side, in a remote and sparsely populated street, a petite figure was running out of breath.
It wasn't until she was almost out of breath that she had to hold on to the wall to stop and take a breath.
"Hoo ho ho! I'm so exhausted, I'm so exhausted!"
Ke'er was panting like an ox, and her face was flushed from running, which set off her white skin as if it were gelatin, as if it were a ripe peach. If it weren't for the "Adam's apple" in her throat, no one would think she was
She is a girl.
Caressing her violently beating heart, she continued to breathe: "Huhu, luckily he didn't recognize me... Oops!"
She was only half-way through her words when a hand suddenly stretched out from the alley next to her and pulled her in. The speed was so fast that she only had time to scream in surprise and nothing happened.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Aunt Tao, and her frightened heart finally calmed down a little.
"Aunt Tao, why are you here? Huh? Why are you alone? Where is the man I just bought?"
Ke'er looked left and right, but never saw the handsome pet with silver hair like snow, and suddenly felt something was wrong - "Could he be captured by Cai Jinlan's people?!"
She asked worriedly, with deep anxiety surging in her eyes.
Seeing how worried she was, Aunt Tao shook her head disapprovingly and earnestly advised: "Ke'er, you can no longer interfere with that man's affairs. Miss Cai is not someone to be trifled with..."
Only halfway through the words, Ke'er had a sudden intuition that something was wrong. She nervously and anxiously interjected: "Wait a minute, Aunt Tao, what do you mean by this? Are you... giving her to Cai?"
Is it Jinlan?!"
"I...I didn't give him to Miss Cai, I just...just..." Aunt Tao hesitated, looking a little embarrassed, as if she had done something wrong.
Seeing her expression like this, Ke'er felt even more uneasy. She reached out eagerly and clasped Aunt Tao's shoulders tightly, her tone rising slightly unsteadily: "It's just what? Aunt Tao, please tell me quickly!"
Aunt Tao swayed her eyes from side to side with regret, but did not dare to look at Ke'er.
"I...I...I just let him hide somewhere else, and then...then I left by myself. Ke'er, I'm doing this for your own good. For the sake of your own life, you'd better give up.
Come on, there are a lot of injustices in this world, and it can’t be managed by just one person."
After listening to Aunt Tao's words, Ke'er slowly let go of her hand, her hands dropped to her sides, and she lowered her head as if she was a little frustrated.
Seeing her look like this, Aunt Tao thought that she had spoken too harshly, so she wanted to comfort her, but Ke'er spoke earlier - "Aunt Tao, I know that I am just an ordinary person, and I also know that I should not care.
Too many, but if I had to look at such a pitiful person and not lend a helping hand at all, I would not be able to live at ease in the future... If not, I would not have formed the fate between you and me that day.
"
Her voice was faint, filled with weakness and helplessness.
However, it struck a chord in Aunt Tao's heart.
Sighing in shame, Aunt Tao stretched out her hand to hold her hand guiltily, feeling regret in her heart: "... Ke'er, I'm too selfish, I'll take you to find him."
Hearing this, Ke'er suddenly raised her eyes in relief and looked at her positively: "Yes!"
Afterwards, Aunt Tao took Ke'er up and down the paths that were not easily discovered by others, until they reached the destination she mentioned.
However, when they rushed to the secret corner, there was no sign of the silver-haired man.
"How could this happen?" Ke'er looked at the empty hidden corner and murmured unable to accept the fact. Her heart began to beat again. Could he have been taken away?
At this time, Aunt Tao was also anxious. She looked around in circles, twisting her fingers together uneasily: "I obviously asked him to hide here, how could he disappear? What should I do?
"
After some inspection, there was still no trace of him. Aunt Tao explained with a look of shame and anxiety: "Ke'er, I really hid him here, but...but I don't know why he is there now."
No more, I...I'm sorry for you."
Ke'er sighed softly with some regret, and in turn comforted him: "Forget it, maybe he has escaped on his own. If we have a chance, we will go find out if Cai Jinlan caught him. If not, then
I can only resign myself to fate and hope that everything will be fine for him in the future."
Listening to her comfort, Aunt Tao felt ashamed. In the end, she could only sigh: "This is the only way..."
…
Feeling regretful, the two of them walked back to Xianyun Tower together in silence.
Just as he was approaching the back door, Ke'er suddenly realized that someone was following him behind him.
She stopped suddenly, and Aunt Tao immediately noticed something strange about her. She became nervous and asked quietly: "Ke'er, what happened?"
Ke'er first pricked up his ears and listened, and then quietly replied: "Shh... I feel like someone is following us!"
"...Who is it?" Aunt Tao began to look a little panicked, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to hold Ke'er's hand, ready at any time.
"I don't know yet. Let's calm down first and let me test it out."
Ke'er whispered in a tight tone.
Then, she suddenly turned around, and with a raise of her arm, a ray of purple light came out of her palm and swept into the air behind her...
The purple light hit the person following behind him, and a suppressed groan was heard: "Ugh!"
Then, they saw the slender figure half-crouching down, as if he had been hit.
So the other party lowered his head so that they couldn't see clearly who he was. Ke'er shouted vigilantly: "Who are you?!"
Hearing her voice, the other party held back the pain and raised his head.
When Ke'er finally saw his face clearly, it was the silver-haired handsome pet that she bought at the market before!
"Why is it you?!" She was so shocked that she immediately ran over to help him.
Seeing his brows furrowed and holding back pain, Ke'er asked guiltily and worriedly: "How are you? Where are you injured?"
He gritted his teeth and suppressed the discomfort in his body. His deep and quiet eyes only looked at her for a moment: "Su Mei."
"Ah? Where is Su Mei?" Ke'er was stunned by his two nonsensical words.
"My name is Sumei." He spoke again, his voice still very light, but he added more words to explain.
"..." Hearing his answer, Ke'er felt dumbfounded.
She asked him where he was injured, and he actually answered her with his name. What kind of way of thinking is this!
Sighing feebly, she could only nodded perfunctorily to show that she understood, and then continued her question: "Where did I just hurt you?"
"It's okay." This time, his voice was understated and indifferent, as if the injury was not on him.
"Is everything okay? You're even bent over in pain and you still say it's okay!" Ke'er couldn't help but give him a weird look.
Can she say that he is trying to show off?
Although she knew he was used to these injuries.
His beautiful face, as pale as snow, held back the pain, then straightened up as if nothing had happened, and said softly as if to prove it to her: "I'm fine."
Seeing this, Ke'er didn't know what to say.
——Master, look, I am very well, nothing has happened to me!
He is really acting like a pet that doesn't understand anything now, and he is a very beautiful pet!
"Forget it, let's go in first and talk about it later." In the end, Ke'er found that she could only say this.
Anyway, no matter how many questions she asked, she would only get answers that were not what she asked.
Alas, what kind of pet did she buy?
Stupid? Simple?
So, Ke'er and Aunt Tao helped him quietly into the backyard of Xianyun Building.
Ke'er secretly thought that if the madam found out that her Xianyun Tower had to support another idle person, she would probably be so angry that she would shake her waist and fat buttocks again.
…
Tianzi No. 1 Inn.
Ao Chenye sat leisurely in front of the balcony of the attic, admiring the lively and prosperous scene in the market below. He picked up a cup of hot tea in front of the table and took a sip gracefully, looking quite leisurely and contented.
However, no one noticed that beneath his carefree appearance, his pair of deep, low-pitched phoenix eyes were sharply searching for a figure on the street...
