Chapter 245: Meeting Ye Yichen (1/2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Faster and faster, the man with cold gleam and sullenness in his eyes was actually flying in the air after he turned into a sparsely populated alley, his rough shirt fluttering in the rushing wind. Murong Xue squinted her eyes. “We have been discovered...”

“I know!” Ouyang Shaochen nodded, his eyes shimmering with dark light. “Seize him and have an interrogation!”

Since they came to Ming Zhou City to search for the Shadow Guards, it was unwise to have a fight with them. However, since this man had already doubted their intention, it’s very likely that he wouldn’t visit the smithy any longer. If they let him leave, they would lose the only trace about the Shadow Guards until now...

“Okay!” Murong Xue touched the ground lightly with her tiptoe and flied directly to the middle-aged man swiftly like an arrow leaving the string. Just when she almost caught up with him, a figure suddenly turned up from the alley beside her and knocked her to the ground four or five meters away. It took Murong Xue a while to regain her balance.

She looked up in a hurry at the alley. The middle-aged man had disappeared without a trace.

Murong Xue glared at the man standing in her way, her eyes burning with fury. The handsome young man sharp and cold eyes was standing at the crossroad, his dark purple robe perfectly tailored to his tall and slim figure. “Ye Yichen, why are you here?”

“Merely passing by,” Ye Yichen answered casually as he stared at her in curiosity. “And you?”

“Also passed by,” Murong Xue retorted and straightened herself up. Why was he here for no reason? Without him, she had already caught the man...

Ye Yichen glanced at her indifferent face, his eyes sparkling with a wisp of sullenness...

Ouyang Shaochen came up slowly and caught a glimpse at the winding alley with his eyes as dark as a deep lake. Disappearing without a trace in such a short while when Murong Xue and Ye Yichen bumped into each other, the middle-aged man was none other than one of the Shadow Guards.

Their invisibility skill was so weird. It was totally impossible to find them if they launched it. Though missing the middle-aged man, they were completely sure that the man was one of the Shadow Guards used to be trained by Murong Yue...

They did make some achievement in this tour to Ming Zhou City...

Ouyang Shaochen smiled gracefully which accentuated the light red fingerprints on his jade-like cheeks. Knowing clearly Murong being the real culprit, Ye Yichen said with a frown, “Since Prince Ouyang has visited Ming Zhou City before, this should be your second time?”

“It is to some degree. Xue’er came here to deal with some business. I am on travel and lend a hand when necessary.” Ouyang Shaochen answered expressionlessly.

But in Ye Yichen’s opinion, he was obviously showing off, though almost imperceptible. His handsome face darkened, “What business? Even needs prince Ouyang’s assistance?”

When in trouble, Murong Xue always asked for Ouyang Shaochen’s help instead of his...

“It’s a top secret. We will tell Prince Jing when it is over!” Ouyang Shaochen said calmly as he looked at Ye Yichen up and down. “Isn’t Prince Jing responsible for guarding the frontier at the Northern desert? Why are you in Nan Jiang?”

“Deal with some emergency.” Ye Yichen answered in low-pitched voice, his eyes as dark as a deep lake.

“How is it going?” Ouyang Shaochen asked, his obsidian-like eyes sparkling with dark gleam.
