Chapter 368 – Assassin Reappears! (1/2)

Chapter 368: a.s.sa.s.sin reappears!

Carts traveled through the wilderness, snow covered the mountain paths.

It was rare to see a person, though there were occasionally snow hares and pheasants jumping between the bushes. It added a little bit of joy to this group of travelers.

The public path had been flooded by the blizzard last night, and they could only rely on the superficial outline of the path and the path created by the mounted scouts in front.

The road was steep and slippery, and it was extremely inconvenient to walk in.

Ning Xinhai had persuaded Cui Xiaoxin several times to summon the hummingbirds to let carry her back to Tiandu. But Cui Xiaoxin refused, hoping to enjoy this ethereal world after the snow.

Ning Xinhai, without any other choice, had to send more mounted scouts around, while he and a number of Cui family bodyguards raised their vigilance to protect the young lady….

Last night's a.s.sa.s.sin had not been caught, and probably wouldn't be found for a while. Since the a.s.sa.s.sination had failed, who knows whether they will make a reckless move and run into danger?

Cui Xiaoxin was holding a hand warmer, while Li s.h.i.+nian was holding s...o...b..ll to warm her hands.

Cui Xiaoxin looked at s...o...b..ll, asking: “This is a flying rabbit?”

“Yes” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded. “I heard that it was captured from the Flower language plains.”

“The Lu family is very nice to you. They treat you like their own daughter.” Cui Xiaoxin said with a smile. “

“Yes.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded. “Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu are very kind to me. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I'm their daughter.”

“Do you know the daughter of the Lu family, Miss Lu Qiji?”

“I don't know.” Li s.h.i.+nian shook her head. “I heard that she went to Starry Sky Academy to study. By the time I arrived at the Lu mansion, she had left already.””

“Intelligent and icy cold, like a celestial being. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.”

“More beautiful than Sister Xiaxoin?” Li s.h.i.+nian asked with a smile.

“A lot better than I am.”

“I don't believe it.” Li s.h.i.+nian shook her head. “They say that among the three bright moons of the kingdom, Lu Qiji is cool and elegant, Song Chenxi is delicate and the most sweet tempered is of course our Sister Xixoin. However, no matter what they say, in my heart Sister Xiaoxin is the most beautiful.”

“Before it is the three bright moons, but now there is a fourth bright moon. On innocence, it is Li s.h.i.+nian.” Cui Xiaxoin joked. “Your fame is not any weaker than ours now.”

“The nosy people are babbling nonsense.” Li s.h.i.+nian shook her head and said: “There are people who have praised me, but there are more people that have scolded me. I know. All three of you are of n.o.ble birth and from a wealthy family. But those people put us all together, wouldn't people scold me? It makes me furious.”

“People that slander have evil intentions. Everyone is aware of your beauty, you deserve to become a bright moon of Tiandu.”

Li s.h.i.+nian shook her head. “I do not want to be a bright moon, I want to be a little star by the Moon.”

“s.h.i.+nian why undervalue yourself, your personality is most lovable.”

“Of course. Even the big monks want to trick me into their temple. This proves that I am also very amazing.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded.

The two people looked at one another and burst into laughter.

Burning incense and sipping tea, conversing with a close friend and admiring the boundless snow. These were all elegant matters.

Li Muyang did not receive as good treatment as Li s.h.i.+nian and Cui Xiaoxin. Just like when he came, he was still sitting in Cui Meng's cart.

The carriage was filled up with goods and he could not go in to avoid the wind and snow.

He had no choice but to sit in the front of the carriage with Cui Meng, facing the cold wind, and snow falling above. He was sitting on a cart that was sliding from time to time and may be overturned at any moment back to Tiandu.

Cui Meng although tall and strong, but his face had turned purple red from the freezing temperatures, teeth chattering.

Li Muyang possessed profound cultivation, and was obviously unafraid of this cold. But he had to let others see that he was afraid.

So, when Cui Meng's face turned purple-red, he used his inner strength to make his face turn purple-red.

When Cui Meng was chattering his teeth, he also imitated him, incessantly grinding his teeth.

Fighting the wind and cold was not tiring, but acting was exhausting.

Fortunately Cui Xiaoxin was kind-hearted and rewarded everyone with a bottle of bamboo leaf liquor. As the strong alcoholic drink entered the throat, their frozen and stiff body felt a little warmer.

“Our Miss——“ Cui Meng belched, his eyes red as he continued, “is very kind. Whoever gets to marry our Miss is extremely fortunate.”

Li Muyang took a sip of the wine, nodding: “You're right.”

“Hey, your family's Miss is too.” “

“You really have good taste.”

“Li Mu, you really have guts, you even dare to provoke Butler Ning. Do you know that Butler Ning is a powerful figure in the Cui household. He can hit and scold the bodyguards of the Cui family as he likes, whoever sees him will hide away ——— He is extremely fond of Miss Xiaoxin, he has followed Miss to Jiangnan for many years. Miss Xiaoxin also trusts him very much. Now that you have angered him, would you have any good fruit to eat?”

“That doesn't allow him to take away my stuff.” Li Muyang said loudly.

“Hey, if he wants it, can you hold onto it?”

“I can hold onto it.” Li Muyang stated.

“Hey——” Cui Meng lifted the wine by the neck. “You are different from others after all. We are all cart drivers, we will be scolded or punished for a slight transgression. While you, Li Mu, is leisurely and carefree all day long, you do not have do care about anything, and the two Miss speaks to you in a soft and polite voice. How do you look like a cart driver? You're more like a master.”
