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 on 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...
It was a lean man wearing a bamboo hat, walking casually in the lively market, as if he was shopping. However, his sneaky eyes glanced in the direction of Tianzi No. 1 Inn from time to time.
It seems to be monitoring something.
Ao Chenye's lips curled up sarcastically.
The fish started to take the bait...
Although it is only a small fish, if you follow the clues, it is estimated that the big fish will not be far away from here.
Soon, he will be able to lure out all the Mohists hiding in the dark. As long as these dangerous elements are uprooted, he can safely go to find his little cutie.
Thinking of seeing her in disguise in the alley just now, a smile unconsciously appeared in his sharp eyes.
If he didn't know her, he might have been deceived by her perfect disguise.
This little girl can even disguise a man's Adam's apple so realistically. Her brows are full of heroic spirit. Wow, the disguise is so wonderful and pretty. He really admires her!
Alas, it's just that his little cutie is so obsessed with him now that she doesn't even want to talk to him anymore...
Thinking of the time when she was eager to escape from him, his heart couldn't help but ache.
When will he be able to see her smiling at him again, just like before.
I miss the days I spent with her so much...
Little cutie, wait for me, you must wait for me!
Just when he was immersed in the sadness of nostalgia, Leng Yun's reminding voice sounded softly: "Wang, you see, that person has left."
Hearing this, Ao Chenye suddenly came back to his senses, feeling annoyed that he had lost consciousness at such an important moment.
Looking at the street, the man wearing a bamboo hat was no longer there. His handsome face froze and he asked in a solemn voice: "Leng Yun, have you seen anyone he has been in contact with?"
Leng Yun nodded solemnly: "Yes! I had a few words with a person dressed as a servant. That servant is on the list of Mohists they will investigate tomorrow, and he is from Caizhou Mansion."
"So... Caizhou Mansion has most likely become a low-level organization controlled by Xing Mo. No wonder the eldest lady of Caizhou Mansion is so arrogant and domineering, treating the people of this king as insignificant and wantonly destroying me. It turns out that she has already treated my court.
There is something wrong!"
At the end of the sentence, his voice dropped coldly for several minutes, and his unfathomable black eyes turned murderous.
"Please rest assured, King, Caizhou Mansion has already been investigating, but..." Leng Yun observed Ao Chenye's expression and hesitated in his words.
Ao Chenye raised his eyes slightly, looked at his hesitant expression, and smiled lightly: "If you have any questions, just ask. Holding it in for too long is not good for your health."
There was a hint of ridicule in his voice that he had already understood, as if he already knew what Leng Yun was struggling with.
Therefore, Leng Yun boldly asked: "Wang, do you... already know the whereabouts of Miss Kerr?"
Ao Chenye raised his eyebrows lazily, with a smile on his thin lips: "Oh? Why do you make such a guess?"
"I dare to feel that... Wang doesn't seem too anxious to summon Xue Po to ask about Miss Ke'er's whereabouts, so I thought that you should already know her whereabouts."
Really careful observation!
Ao Chenye said approvingly: "The one who knows me is none other than Leng Yun!"
After receiving the affirmative answer, Leng Yun couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Great! Where is Miss Ker now? Is she okay?"
Ao Chenye was deeply relieved to see him so worried and anxious, but he was not prepared to expose Ke'er's whereabouts too early.
So, he shook his head and analyzed calmly: "Leng Yun, if one less person knows the whereabouts of the little cutie, she will be safer. Let me take care of her affairs. You and the others will plan carefully tomorrow."
The best thing for the little cutie is to destroy the Mo people."
Although he was a little disappointed not to get the answer he wanted, Leng Yun also understood the truth, so he cheered up and said positively: "I understand, I will continue to follow the progress of the matter."
"Very good, please step back." Ao Chenye waved his hand casually, then turned to look at the market downstairs.
However, this time, his eyes no longer sharply surveyed the enemy's situation, but became a little blurred, and he didn't know where to focus, because his mind had already flown far to the backyard called Xianyun Tower.
I raised my eyes to look at the warm winter sun at the end of the sky, and for the first time I felt like I wanted this source of light to sink into the ground.
Only in this way can the night come and he can go to Xianyun Tower and see his little cutie openly.
It turned out that he had heard correctly when he passed by Flower Street on the night he left the palace. His little cutie was actually there in front of his happy little brother.
…
As time goes by, it's getting closer to afternoon.
From the small room in the backyard of Xianyun Tower, a soft sound of relief came out - "Huh! It's finally done!"
Ke'er breathed gently on his last wound to relieve his pain, then put down the scissors and gauze, and watched with satisfaction as Su Mei's wounds, big and small, were treated by her one by one.
He looked lightly at the bandaged wounds on his body. She had tied the gauze with a delicate slip knot, and the strength was good. He did not feel much pain during the process.
From the beginning to the end, he looked at her, watching her carefully breathe into his wound, and an inexplicable warmth quietly spread from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, his already dead heart suddenly became uneasy, although he couldn't describe what it felt like.
He only knew that she was the only person who cared so tenderly for him.
After packing the medicine, Ke'er turned around and saw him looking at the bandages on her body in a daze. She sat down again with a smile and said teasingly: "Sumei... this name is really nice and tasteful, but I think Sumei...
Su Su sounds better, can I call you Su Su from now on?"
He raised his eyes, his glazed red crystal eyes looking at her intently, as if she was the only one in the world.
"Okay." He said, his voice still calm, but obviously a little warmer.
After receiving the approval, Ke'er's smile widened further: "Susu, did you forget to tell me what you said?"
Well, now that she has bought him, she must take on the responsibility of teaching him so that he can understand the ways of the world and live on his own in the world.
"What?" He looked at it with pure confusion in his focused eyes.
Sure enough! He doesn't understand anything except simple communication!
Ke'er sighed secretly, and then patiently taught: "I just bandaged your wound, and you have to say thank you to me. This is called reciprocity."
"What is courtesy?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion even more.
Ke'er frowned in confusion and thought for a while: "It's just... Ouch! It's hard to explain this at the moment. Anyway, it's hard for me to bandage it for you. You have to say thank you to me and do the same to others in the future."
"Thank you, okay." Su Mei responded immediately and kindly.
Oh! What a good boy!
Ke'er couldn't help laughing but couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She will probably become the mother of this big kid in the future!
Meow meow, maybe he is older than her by who knows how many years!
Just when she was dumbfounded and helplessly thinking about things, Aunt Tao walked in from the door and said cautiously: "Ke'er, I'm afraid my mother will come over and tell me to do something. You should soak these with blood first."
I took the gauze outside and threw it away so as not to attract other people’s attention. I’ll try to find a way for Sumei to live in the future without being discovered by her mother.”
After hearing this, Ke'er also felt that this was a difficult problem that she couldn't solve and could only rely on Aunt Tao.
So she collected the garbage in a few moments and said, "I'll go right away, and I'll see you soon."
"Go back quickly, it's getting late now." Aunt Tao urged as she looked at the sky outside.
"Well! Susu, just stay here obediently. I'll be back soon."
Ke'er gave some instructions by the way, and then walked out quickly carrying the garbage.
Little did she know that she had only taken a few steps, and behind her...
Su Mei's eyes turned a flash of red light, silently shooting into Aunt Tao's eyes.
After that, Aunt Tao stood there as if she had lost consciousness, having lost all awareness of everything around her.
…
outside the door.
Ke'er carried the garbage and looked around cautiously. She saw that no other servants from Xianyun Tower came to throw away garbage, so she quickly approached the garbage pile with confidence and threw the bloody gauze into the most secret part of the garbage pile.
When she was done, she turned around to walk back, but the moment she turned sideways, she suddenly saw several figures lying behind her.
The man who was obviously the leader was wearing a large black cloak, covered from head to toe in black gauze. She couldn't see his appearance clearly, but she could only tell that a sinister aura came from him, which was intimidating.
.
Seeing their eyes staring at her intently, with a strong intent to target her, she felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.
"You...who are you? What do you want to do?" She backed away warily and stepped on the garbage pile. There was no way out.
"Bring the Bracelet of Time and Space." The man in the black gauze cloak said in a very low voice, so low that it was hoarse, giving people a cold-blooded shudder.
Bracelet of time and space?
Purple gold bracelet...
Are they people sent by Ao Chenye?
She had just met him in the alley before, and now these people showed up to ask for her purple gold bracelet. Could it be that... he had already recognized her by then?
Impossible. If he really recognized her, he could have snatched her back himself. There was no need to go around in circles and send his men to look for her again.
Therefore, these people should not be in the same group as Ao Chenye, so...who are they? And how do they know that she has the bracelet of time and space on her body?
Ke'er subconsciously hid her hands behind her back, pretending to be calm and said: "I don't know what you are talking about."
