Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Xiao Qing was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again: “Miss, please don’t kick me out . I promise that I won’t dare to say anything in the future . If I make another mistake, you can cut off my tongue!”
Yu Linglong sneered: “What do I want to do with your tongue, grow flowers with it or fertilize the fields? Clean yourself up and get lost . Don’t let me see you again!”
Seeing that Yu Linglong had made up her mind, Xiao Qing didn’t dare to ask anything else, so she stood up with tears in her eyes and said, “…I will obey your orders . ”
This time, she could imagine her fate . How could she be reused in the future if the mission Mu s.h.i.+ entrusted to her was not completed? What’s more, her deed was still in Yu Linglong’s hands, and Mu s.h.i.+ will never use her again .
Her whole life was ruined in one sentence .
After kicking Xiao Qing out, Yu Linglong felt a little happier . Xuan Cao walked in, put the sour plum soup she was holding on the table and smiled: “I wanted to tell you . Xiao Qing was looking crafty every day, either by asking around or interrogating the kitchen . She was even ‘concerned with’ what you eat . Something would happen sooner or later . ”
Yu Linglong took a sip of the sour plum soup and said, “It’s too late now . If I didn’t kick her out, you wouldn’t say anything . ”
Xuan Cao smiled and said, “I thought, since it isn’t easy for anyone, it’s better to give her a chance . ”
Yu Linglong snorted coldly: “Give others a chance . They may not accept your love, so why bother to be such a bad person!”
Xuan Cao looked to make sure there was no one outside, and lowered her voice: “Miss, should we go and see…Ling’er is too young, and I’m still worried . ”
Yu Linglong put down the small bowl in her hand, thought for a moment, and said, “It’s almost time . I’ll go over at night, and you will stay at home to guard . ”
Xuan Cao wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t say it . She said softly: “I will get ready . ”
…
Deep in the night, the layers were revealed .
There was an inconspicuous courtyard on the outskirts of the city . The gate was heavily locked all year round . The neighbors in the neighborhood knew that the owner was doing business abroad and that no one was living there .
That night, at this unmanned courtyard, a slender figure climbed over the back wall and quietly entered the inner house .
From the yard, the room looked pitch black and there was no sound at all .
Yu Linglong nodded with satisfaction . Although Ling’er was a young girl, she was still very careful . It was indeed a wise decision for her to let Ling’er come over .
She had always known the reasoning behind having multiple plans . Although the money she got from Mu s.h.i.+ was not much, it was more than enough to buy a few small businesses . She bought this house . Because of its remote location and its dilapidated condition, the price was very low . At this time, it was indeed an excellent place to hide .
The little white hand gently pushed the door panel, and immediately felt that it was latched on the inside, and Yu Linglong whispered, “Ling’er, it’s me . ”
The door opened immediately . Yu Linglong stepped into the room and closed the door .
A small oil lamp exuded a dim light, and the doors and windows were covered with black cloth to block all the light that may leak .
Ling’er’s eyes lit up and she looked very surprised: “Miss! Why are you here?”
On the simple bed, a tall figure stood up when he heard the sound, but unexpectedly pulled the wound on his body, and couldn’t help but let out a m.u.f.fled grunt .
Yu Linglong’s gaze fell on Feng Xuanyuan, and she nodded lightly, but said to Ling’er: “How’s it going?”
Ling’er poured a gla.s.s of water lightly and handed it to Yu Linglong: “His injury is getting better, but…”
Ling’er paused, and couldn’t help pursing her lips and grinning: “It’s just that the oil paint on his face is too much . Brother Feng is afraid that he won’t be able to wash it off, so he was worried for several days . ”
Yu Linglong knew what Ling’er was laughing at . It was a bit ridiculous that a big man was so concerned about his appearance .
Feng Xuanyuan stood up strongly, apparently enduring the pain of his body . He slowly walked to the table and sat down, and his narrow eyes looked straight at Yu Linglong: “You saved me . ”
Yu Linglong nodded casually: “It’s really not easy to save you . You should thank me very much . ”
She knew that after Feng Xuanyuan followed her into the Yu Mansion, the entire Yu Mansion was closely monitored by the men in black . In this case, it was really difficult for her to send out the seriously injured Feng Xuanyuan .
From planning for Ma Changgeng to wait for the chef to deliver the waste, to asking the Lubao troupe to come to the Yu house to sing, there was reality in the emptiness, and there was emptiness in the reality . She deliberately diverted the attention of the people in black and consumed their energy .
Taking advantage of the opportunity to have the Lubao troupe sing in the Yu house, she ordered Ling’er to find an actor whose stature was about the same as Feng Xuanyuan’s . She hid him in the commotion, then put Feng Xuanyuan in a costume and painted on a big face for singing, crammed him in the carriage, and sent him out of the Yu house . As for the actor, she asked Xuan Cao to give him a lot of money and asked him to leave the capital immediately . She thought he would pa.s.s through the hands of those people in black, and they would not pay attention to an unremarkable actor .
Feng Xuanyuan was seriously injured . She asked Ling’er to bring him here and serve him to recover from his injuries . After three or four days, this man should be able to take care of himself, and Ling’er should return home with her .
Feng Xuanyuan had already changed into a clean robe . His face was pale due to excessive blood loss, and his narrow eyes were fixed on Yu Linglong . His eyes were very complicated . He seemed to be puzzled, but he kept looking at her .
Ignoring his expression, Yu Linglong took out a purse from her arms, put it on the table, pushed it towards Feng Xuanyuan . She said blankly: “You can’t stay here for a long time . Take your money and leave soon . ”
Although it was very hidden here, she still refused to take in Feng Xuanyuan for a long time . After all, this courtyard was her property . If someone found out, it would still affect her .
Feng Xuanyuan’s gaze fell on the red-and-gold embroidered purse on the table, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his thin mouth: “I never thought I would have fallen into poverty . ”
Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly . Why did it sound like she had treated him harshly?
Did he still feel that it was shameful to use a woman’s money?
Yu Linglong snorted coldly: “Why, don’t you want it?”
With these harsh words, filled with provocation and contempt, she originally thought that Feng Xuanyuan would be furious, but he just raised his eyes to look at Yu Linglong, and the evil face showed a slight smile: “Do I still have the right to refuse it??”
He was seriously injured and penniless . If he didn’t take this purse, Feng Xuanyuan would fall to the streets as soon as he left .
Slender fingers hooked up the purse . Feng Xuanyuan lowered his eyes and said, “I will pay you back in the future . ”
“No,” Yu Linglong stood up and looked down at the tall and desolate man in front of her . “As long as you don’t mention me when you’re caught, you will thank me . ”
Feng Xuanyuan suddenly tightened his lips, and the anger he was suppressing seemed to suddenly jump out . His dark eyes were gleaming, suddenly adding a little boldness to his evil face .
“How can you look down on me like that?”
Yu Linglong smiled contemptuously, turned around, and left, obviously not wanting to argue with him .
She didn’t know what Feng Xuanyuan’s ident.i.ty was, but she saw with her own eyes that Feng Xuanyuan and the others lost in the battle between the people in blue clothes and the people in black . No matter what excuses he had, they eventually lost to others .
She didn’t care if they were good or evil, she only saw the result . If they lost, they lost . How could someone who lost be so arrogant!?
He shuddered from head to toe under her gaze . Feng Xuanyuan was stunned and immediately clutched the purse . The silver ingots inside made a creaking sound, which was obviously deformed by pinching .
Ling’er was taken aback, and subconsciously stepped forward to hold Feng Xuanyuan’s hand: “Brother Feng, your injury has not yet healed—”
Yu Linglong glanced at his pale knuckles and said coldly: “Let’s save the strength to escape, why bother to scare women here!?”
Unexpectedly, Feng Xuanyuan really let go of her hand, and the expression on his face gradually turned cold: “Feng Xuanyuan never owes anyone anything . If you go to a place and take something, it will be my reward for you . “
Yu Linglong turned her face . Her beautiful eyes swept over him lightly, but she didn’t seem to care: “Oh? What is it?”
Feng Xuanyuan looked at Yu Linglong deeply, and said meaningfully, “Go, of course you know . ”
After a pause, he added: “I promise, you will think it’s worth it . ”
Before Yu Linglong could speak, Feng Xuanyuan leaned forward suddenly, grabbed Yu Linglong’s hand, and wrote a few words in the palm of her hand .
The plain palm of her hand glowed dimly under the oil lamp . Yu Linglong looked at the words in her palm, and her eyes gradually became serious .
Feng Xuanyuan finished writing but didn’t let go of Yu Linglong’s hand . The faint fragrance of the girl came from her fingertips, which made him lose consciousness for a while .
Feeling the temperature of Feng Xuanyuan’s palms gradually getting hot, Yu Linglong frowned slightly, and with a light effort, she got rid of Feng Xuanyuan’s big hands .
“Ling’er, let’s go . ”
Ling’er followed Yu Linglong to the door, but she looked back at Feng Xuanyuan uneasily: “Brother Feng, you have to take good care of yourself . ”
Feng Xuanyuan didn’t seem to hear her . His narrow eyes were fixed on Yu Linglong’s back, and the corners of his thin lips opened slightly . He said in a deep voice, “One day, I will give you everything you could ever imagine . ”
Yu Linglong paused but didn’t look back . She lifted her foot and left in a flash, leaving Feng Xuanyuan sitting alone at the table, slightly depressed . [Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]

It was already the second watch . The road was quiet, and no one was visible . On the corner of the street, there was the shadow of the night watchman, knocking on the clappers listlessly . He shouted the news in a long voice: “The sky is dry and everything is dry . Watch out for the flames—”
