Chapter 352 - An unwelcome encounter 1 (2/2)

However, when she walked to the top of a nearby hill and looked around, she realized they weren't camping out here for fun. There wasn't anyone else around other than this party. There wasn't a village in sight, let alone an inn.

How should she go back? Ji Man was at a loss.

”Hey, you, come over here and help carry stuff.” A voice shouted from behind her, but Ji Man was still blanking out.

”Eh?” Changshan was holding hares and other wild animals in his hands. When he came over and saw a servant girl that was blankly looking out, he said, ”Did you not hear me? Bring this to the cook so she can cook it...”

Ji Man absent-mindedly turned her head, and they were both shocked to see each other.

”You!” Changshan took two steps back, then he instinctively turned around to look at his master, who wasn't far from here.

It was Nie Sangyu! Or, as she preferred to be called, Ji Man.

As soon as Ji Man clearly saw the person in front of her, she wanted to flee. Unfortunately, Changshan's reaction's time was too fast. He dropped the stuff that he was holding and grabbed her wrist. He yelled, ”Master!”

Although the person in front of him cut a sorry figure, he recognized that face immediately. After she had disappeared in Jing Province, his master had fallen gravely sick. His study was filled with countless painting of a faceless beauty. Still, the graceful womanly physique on those paintings resembled the woman in front of him. He had followed his master for many years, so he understood his master's thoughts very well.

Ning Mingjie turned his head in this direction and saw that Changshan had seized a woman. She was desperately struggling to get away from him. This scene looked a bit horrifying underneath the moonlight.

”What are you doing?” Ning Mingjie walked over here while holding a bow in his hand. Once he got a clear look of the woman that Changshan was holding onto, his expression changed.

”Sangyu...”

”You're mistaken.” Ji Man gave up on struggling and weakly said, ”I'm just a passerby.”

Changshan's didn't relax his grip at all, but Ning Mingjie seemed dazed. He blankly looked at her for a long time before stretching his hand out as if he wanted to touch her face.

”General, please conduct yourself with dignity.” Ji Man furrowed her brow.

Ning Mingjie suddenly smiled. His fingers stopped in mid-air before he slowly took them back. ”It really is you.”

The person in his dreams would always warmly smile at him. It was only the real her that would look at him with such a conflicted gaze.
