Chapter 11: Dont Judge a Book by its Cover (1/2)

Qi Yichen smiled warmly, he knew he could hold them back here.

“Who are you?” A guard saw Qi Yichen and blocked him.

Qi Yichen smiled, “Yours truly is Qi Yichen. Who are all of you looking for?”

“The Third Young Miss of the Gu Residence, Miss Gu Qingyu. Have you seen her?” That man saw Qi Yichen’s smile of an angel and softened his tone.

Qi Yichen pointed in a random direction. “I believe she went that way.”

“Thank you so much.” The people of the Gu Residence were not overly fierce, they bid farewell in respect and ran in the direction Qi Yichen pointed towards.

Qi Yichen smiled and walked out.

The remaining guards arrived in another room, where another man happened to walk out. He was breathtakingly handsome, that red robe brought out ethereal beauty in that man.

“Did you see-” The guards stopped mid-sentence, “Ah! The Lord of Xie Zang Castle!”

“What’s wrong?” The man gave a faint smile, beautiful yet sinister.

“Nonono! Nothing!” The guards immediately ran off.

The man called ‘The Lord of Xie Zang Castle’ shook his head and grumbled, “Was that really necessary? It’s not like I bite… ”

Jia Qizhe and the rest of the team arrived at the creek near the bamboo forest. They took a short rest while they waited for Qi Yichen. He soon arrived at the creek as well.

“Let’s go!” Suddenly, Gu Qingyu was really excited to leave this place.

“Qingyu, do you know how to fly?” Qi Yichen asked something out of the blue.

“Huh?” Gu Qingyu looked at Qi Yichen, puzzled.

“That place is quite far from here, we’ll have to fly.” Jia Qizhe gave a condescending look at Gu Qingyu, “Which, you know how to fly, right?”

“Um…” Oh boy.“I…” Gu Qingyu stammered.

“It’s ok, Qingyu, I’ll fly with you.” Qi Yichen smiled warmly.

“Good, there’s four of us so we’ll fly in pairs.” Jia Qizhe looked at Gu Qingyu and told Qi Yichen, “You take the other one.”

“No!” Gu Qingyu immediately took two steps back. “Jia Qizhe, I’m scared of heights! Xiao Qi is all yours!”

With that, Qi Yichen flapped his giant white wings and took off with Gu Qingyu in tow. Jia Qizhe pursed his lips and followed suit. However, as he took off with his blue wings, he glanced back. Behind a tree, there was the corner of a red robe.

In the sky.

Gu Qingyu closed her eyes in a tight squeeze. Qi Yichen held onto her arms with a vice-like grip, while her legs dangled in the air.Imagine what it feels like to hang in the air!

Meanwhile, Xiao Qi seems to be very comfortable flying with Jia Qizhe. If I knew Jia Qizhe was better at flying, I would have gone with him!Gu Qingyu regretted immensely at her choice of pilot.

“What’s wrong, Qingyu?” Qi Yichen asked.

What’s wrong? You tell me what’s wrong!Gu Qingyu growled, “Nothing, just fly faster!”

“Oh…”

After a while, Qi Yichen caved and asked, “Qingyu, would you like to sit on the fan?”

“The fan?” Gu Qingyu suddenly had a bad feeling, a very very bad feeling!

Qi Yichen waved his hand and a huge fan appeared beneath Gu Qingyu’s feet. Qi Yichen folded his wings as he landed on the fan. The fan drifted steadily in the wind.
