Chapter 86 Shattering the Tranquility (1/2)

”Ouch!”

The crowd of people gasped, staring with incredulity at the scene before them.

Murong Yi Xuan regained his senses and saw the buzzing bees circle for a while more above before flying away. He hurried forward and pulled Feng Qing Ge out from the water, quickly draping his outer robe over her tightly.

”Qing Ge, how are you feeling?” Murong Yi Xuan was rather fl.u.s.tered when he saw her hands and face had swollen up and he could not help but feel pained and guilty at the same time.

Before they came out, he had promised Uncle Xiao that he would protect her but he had allowed her to be pursued and stung by bees. Having nowhere else to hide, she had been forced to leap into the water pond to end up becoming such a sorry sight.

Feng Qing Ge did not reply and only lowered her head as she stood there s.h.i.+vering.

[Someone had targeted her!]

[It was that strange fragrance! Who! ? Who was targeting her?]

Thinking about how she had been so wretchedly been chased by bees to run all over the peach forest and had had to jump into the water to escape them, she became so infuriated that her entire body was shaking.

Murong Yi Xuan thought that she was s.h.i.+vering because she was soaked through so he quickly carried her up and sped towards the direction of the horse carriage.

Seeing that Murong Yi Xuan had carried Feng Qing Ge away, the surrounding travelers who came to admire the peach blossoms started discussing fervently.

None of them had noticed, atop one of the peach trees not too far away, a red figure was lying across a branch smiling happily to herself…..

The next moment, the red figure leapt, pa.s.sing through the blossoms like a fairy through the peach forest, disappearing all of a sudden.

Returning back into the inner boundary, Feng Jiu removed her veil, her mood joyous as she hummed a little tune. Skipping upon the stones shaped like goose eggs, she came inside and saw the old man still sweeping the grounds. She stopped in her tracks and glanced at him a moment before she continued on her way inside over the stones.
