248 IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME (2/2)

”You heard it??? Does it mean you are also there when Su Yan acquires this information???”

Yun Xue asked in confusion when he heard Long Yue's interjection.

Su Yan had asked them the last day to stay out of it since he has a plan. He told them that he was planning to do it by himself.

The other party even make it sound like he was about to use some kind of secret that he can't afford to be made known by any of them.

That is why he had asked for their trust and told them beforehand that he cannot allow any of them to learn of his plan.

As such, they left Su Yan to do it his way without asking for further details.

So how did Long Yue knew about it before them???

How did Long Yue got involved suddenly???

”Su Yan?! Did you purposely left us behind and only asked for Long Yue's help????!”

Yun Xue directed a sharp gaze towards Su Yan.

Is he discriminating among his friends??

Is this favoritism?!!!

Does it mean they are not worthy of his trust??? But Long Yue is???

”No! It is not like that, I just happen to be there...”

Long Yue said to soothe the situation.

He did not expect it to escalate like that. All he wanted to do is cover up for his friend.

When he heard his brother asking Su Yan (Mu Lingxi) about how did she know the name of the girl that is related to apprentice necromancer, he interjected right away.

He did that because he wanted to do cover up with Mu Lingxi. After all, he knows why the other party is familiar to that name.

It is all because it was her mother's name!

But of course, Mu Lingxi can not tell the group about that. So he wanted to help his friend and purposely told them that he personally heard the Clan Head mentioning it.

He did not think that Yun Xue will focus on an entirely different thing. He even sound agitated when he heard that he was there with Su Yan at that time.

Is that even important???

Of course, Mu Lingxi knew that Long Yue did that to cover up for her. To be honest she was relieved.

This means that she won't have to worry that Long Yue will expose her disguise for the meantime. He was even helping her out to covering up her disguise.

That is a huge relief itself, considering that she already has a lot of things in mind. At least she can take Long Yue out of those concerns for now.

”Long Yue followed me last night to make sure that I was safe. That is why he was there and overheard my conversation with the Clan Head.

Mu Lingxi rides along to Long Yue's lie to wrapped things up.

”Ohh I see... So that is why. If I only knew that it is okay to tag along, I should have followed you as well to give my support.”

Chan Gu commented when he heard the confirmation coming from the two. They thought that Su Yan prefers working alone that night so they tried their best to reign over their curiosity and left him to fend it for himself.

If they only knew that they can also tag along, they would have done the same.

'It was actually a good thing that all of you were obedient and decided against following me last night. Unlike this busy-body, Long Yue.

Or else, my disguised would have been exposed to all of you already.'

Mu Lingxi silently thought to herself.

Little did she know that someone from the group was taking this unexpected 'Su Yan and Long Yue' tandem into a whole new level.

For Yun Xue, it was a huge blow to his pride.

'It should have been me, not Long Yue!'
