Chapter 389 – Xiangma Pretends! (2/2)

“I don't know.” Cui Xiaoxin seemed annoyed, staring at Yan Xiangma.

Yan Xiangma burst out in a hearty laugh. “Cousin is going back to Tiandu, right? It happens that we have to report back in Tiandu. How about we go together?”

“No need.” Cui Xiaoxin refused. “Cousin Xiangma is high and mighty, presumably have a lot of things to do. You don't have to stay with me for too long, I don't want to waste your time.”

“I can't do that. I heard Cousin encountered an attack at Thousand Buddha temple, the way back to Tiandu is a barren wilderness and the snow is so heavy, there is hardly anyone around——What if you encounter an a.s.sa.s.sin?” Yan Xiangma shook his head.

“Uncle Ning is here, it will be fine.”

“It's not that I don't believe in Uncle Ning's strength, but there is only one of him, what if there are many a.s.sa.s.sins? Uncle Ning cannot separate into doppelgangers. I should stay around to protect you, or else I'll be worried. If any thing happens to you, how can I go back to face Uncle and Aunt?”

Yan Xiangma motioned with his hand and commanded. “Let's go. Let's get out of the way and let the carriage go first.”

The subordinates did not dare to disobey, steered the horse to the sides of the public path.

Ning Xinhai shook the reins, and the horse-drawn-carriage again crunched through the snow.

Yan Xiangma rode alongside the carriage, constantly talking to Cui Xiaoxin. “Cousin, how have you been recently? Are Uncle and Aunt well? Is s.h.i.+nian okay? I heard that Li Muyang was buried in the illusion? Is that true? If it is true, it is not a bad thing. Since he will be killed even if he comes back out, he might as well not come back. That will save others a lot of trouble. However, because he is not here, I have a heavy burden on me——how do I protect s.h.i.+nian from all harm and danger? Poor s.h.i.+nian, such an intelligent and cute little girl, how could she have such a brother?”

Cui Xiaoxin clasped the hand warmer and did not say a word. Li Muyang gazed at the falling snow outside, smiling without saying anything.

Among the lonely wilderness, there was only Yan Xiangma's voice chattering away incessantly.

The carriage continued ahead with more than 10 black-clad Monitoring Division soldiers following behind.

At the edge of the mountain that they just pa.s.sed was a white figure emerging from the snow, ghostly pale and dark pupils filled with blood.

As they neared Tiandu's south city gate, Ning Xinhai halted the carriage to a stop.

“Miss, we have arrived at Tiandu.” Ning Xinhai said to the inside carriage.

Li Muyang knew he needed to get off. More people meant the more chances there are of them being seen together. If he don't get off it may really cause an uproar.

The eldest daughter of the Cui family and Li s.h.i.+nian's driver are having an affair, if such news were to spread, the Cui family would most likely send out a numerous of a.s.sa.s.sins to stuff him into a sack and toss into the river, right?

“Thank you Miss Xiaoxin, depending on fate, we shall see each other again.” Li Muyang gave a cupped fist salute to Cui Xiaoxin, expressing his thanks.

“What? Senior Li Mu is going to leave Tiandu?” Cui Xiaoxin was very sharp, able to perceive Li Muyang's meaning from his goodbye.

Li Muyang looked taken aback, then smiled, “If destined, there will always be a day to see each other again.”

Then he said goodbye to Taohong, before pulling up the curtains and jumped out of the carriage.

Yan Xiangma rushed over on his horse, shouting to Cui Xiaoxin in the carriage, “Cousin, we're in Tiandu now, a.s.sa.s.sins won't dare to attack in the city, I'll leave you here.”

“No problem.” Cui Xiaoxin said, thinking to herself that she had never wanted him to walk her back. Because he had been chattering nonstop, he had been obstructing her to say a few words to her old friend.

“Then we'll part here, later on I'll come to see you.” Yan Xiangma said smiling. He turned around and looked at the subordinates of the Monitoring Division and commanded, “You guys escort the Miss back.”

“Yes.” All Monitoring Division troops responded.

“Uncle Ning, Let's go.” Cui Xiaoxin said.

“Yes, Miss.” Ning Xinhai replied, and directed the cart to depart.

More than of the ten Monitoring Division soldiers silently followed behind the carriage.

Li Muyang watched the carriage and black-clad soldiers riding away, turned to give a cupped fist salute to Yan Xiangma who was sitting astride a horse, and then turned around to walk toward the city.

“Li Muyang——” Yan Xiangma suddenly shouted.

Li Muyang did not turn his head, calmly continued to the city gate.

Clatter——

Yan Xiangma urged the horse towards him, staring at Li Muyang from above, “you know where you showed flaws?”

Li Muyang did not respond, thinking 'Li s.h.i.+nian had used this trick before, do you think will believe you?”

“No one knows whether Li Muyang is still alive, anyone who hears this name will look around, but you, a relative of him was so unconcerned—except the real Li Muyang, who would be so calm and collected?”
