Chapter 690 Impersonate 2 ” (2/2)
Squinting her eyes, a frosty gleam flashes within Bai Yan’s iris.
“UUphooph!” The rescued woman coughs twice as she threw up the water in her lungs. Showing confusion as she opened her eyes: “This is… where am I? Am I still alive?”
“You needn’t be afraid. You are safe now.” Mu Leng’s voice sounded incredibly soft and warm, “Now first tell us what happened under the river.”
The woman’s body shook like she’s still frightened by the experience before going over the previously discussed story. “I was dragged away by those two dragons and locked inside a palace. They didn’t feed me for days and I was starving throughout the imprisonment. In the end I had to use a lot of energy before eventually finding an opening to escape from the palace….. I didn’t expect the location to be under the river so I nearly drowned as soon as I got out.”
Understanding this was enough in their fake story, Mu Leng hurries to signal her men to take the person away: “This lady is obviously very shook still from the experience. Take her back to the Mu Manor and have some of my maids cater to her needs.” Having said that, the high-standing lady then straightens up to face the focused crowd: “And I, need to go report this to the chief.”
“Yes, Miss Mu Leng.” The guard respectfully complied and retreated away.
From beginning to end, Bai Yan was watching this from behind the crowd and became rather amused by the blatant lie.
When trouble befalls you from Heaven then there is still hope of avoidance; but when you ask for it then there is no hope of escape. Since Mu Leng is courting her own death then why should I stop her?!
……
Since entering the Mu Manor after being led here, Ho Cui Cui hadn’t stopped exploring for even a minute. She’s too excited inside knowing this might all be within her grasp soon, especially that back mountain which stretches for miles on end.
“Miss Ho,” a maid hurriedly comes to report, “Miss Huan Yin is coming.”
This immediately warranted a hopeful look from the excited woman, “Hurry and let her in.”
“Yes, Miss Ho.”
In no time at all, the maid had returned from the front with another person in toe.
