Shen Qiao handed the bainal one you had looked like, so I just ht not look very pretty”
”It's very pretty! Thank you, brother! You're the best!”
The peddler commented a little sourly on the side, ”I'm not that much older than this mister You call hiave a hearty laugh
The little girl hopped away Shen Qiao's legs were getting a little nu He stood up and returned the baether with the money for the bamboo ball The peddler refused to take it, but he insisted and shoved them into the peddler's hands ”May I ask which direction I should go in order to get to the guest villa for foreign ambassadors?”
”So Mister is an ambassador that has come to the Chen on a diplomatic mission?” the peddler suddenly realized ”The villa is not very far from here However, since the place is very crowded, and your eyes aren't very good, you won't be able to find it by yourself I'll take you there!”
Shen Qiao thanked him, then cohed, ”It doesn't oods and sell them here every day They aren't worth much We stall-keepers around this area all know each other I can just ask theuest froet lost here!”
He led Shen Qiao along the river as they walked back ”The et lost It's a lot quicker to take this alleyway right here!”
Holding Shen Qiao's ar on staying a few ht as well take a few more walks inside the city Most of the foods in the South are very delicate and prepared with great care I'm sure you'll fall in love with the sound, so snore it The peddler didn't realize it and was still talking, but Shen Qiao's expression changed slightly He swung his bae its direction and plunge into the wall instead
At the same time, the peddler's voice caround
While the person was attacking Shen Qiao, they also went after the peddler at the same time Shen Qiao didn't have three heads or six arms He could block the attack on his side, but he didn't have enough time to protect the peddler as well In the end, his help still arrived a little late
”Which friend is it? Why do you have to hide yourself?” He crouched down to check on the peddler and was somewhat relieved that the other person had only passed out
”Shen-lang You can be so kind even when talking to a baoods seller Why are you always so rant s with the sweet and cute voice
Shen Qiao slightly frowned ”Bai Rong?”
Bai Rong was sitting on top of a wall, grinning, with her legs crossed together as she swung the a peony in her hand, which she ht have picked up fro time~!”
Shen Qiao said, ”It appears to ht you tried to assassinate Yuwen Qing”
Bai Rong said, ”Do you not understand what 'One day apart seems like three years' means? So many years have passed already!”
Let it be Yan Wushi+ or Bai Rong, Shen Qiao could not get used to dealing with their almost flirtatious words, so he could only re's eyes wandered around as she came up with an idea in her mind She threw the peony in her hand towards Shen Qiao, ”Here! Catch it!”
Shen Qiao caught it on reflex He thought it was sohtly shocked after finding out that it was just a flower
Seeing the expression on his face, Bai Rong was even ht I'd throeapons at you! Am I such an evil person in your eyes?
Shen Qiao shook his head, ”You're not”
Bai Rong pressed on, ”Not what?”
Shen Qiao said, ”When you tried to assassinate Yuwen Qing, his concubine and her servant should not have survived However, you did not kill them, which proves that you're not a ht to thank you on their behalves for havingblinked at hi mercy on them? I could've been too lazy to make unnecessary ue with her
”Alas, you're so good-looking when you smile You should smile more often It makes me feel very happy inside that you think so fondly of me Is it okay if I kiss you?”
Her body ht she was really co a few steps back unconsciously, he finally realized that the other person was still sitting on top of the wall — she was totally teasing hi so hard that she al, how can you be so adorable? I can't help but like youthat you've come to me for?”
”A?” Bai Rong asked back with a s you I've been trailing you fro an opportunity to poison you so that I could knock you out and drag you away Unfortunately, you've been very alert and I haven't found a chance to approach you until just noas finally able to strike a conversation with you after so much difficulty”
Her words were half-true and half-false With truth and lies ether, Shen Qiao didn't knohether he should believe her or not, so he could only secretly take more precautions
”The chick you weaved for that little girl is so pretty Can you htly taken aback He shook his head, ”I don't have baht for a moment then offered the bamboo ball in his hand, ”You can play with this bah, ”Do you think I'rabbed the ba it up and doith her pal Mada the Har was surprised, ”Why do you suddenly…”
Halfway through the sentence, her face had fallen coh her voice was still as nonchalant as usual, ”Sect Leader Shenfrom Sect Master Yan and thinks from the bottom of your heart that our Harmony Sect is a place so filthy and nasty that I'm unworthy to talk to you, the majestic sect leader of Mount Xuandu Is that so?”
By the end, her voice was already stea to kill Shen Qiao if the answer he gave was unacceptable
Shen Qiao said, ”No”
Bai Rong changed her face faster than flipping a page in a book In aflower, ”Or do youdual cultivation regardless of people's social ranking and seniority, so you want to persuade me to forsake the evil and join the camp of justice?”
Frowned, Shen Qiao said, ”I just feel youthere either”
”Haro if not there? The Cleansing Moon Sect? Or the Mirror of Arts? Do you consider homicide better than dual cultivation? The others refer to the Har Moon Sect not a deet that Sect Master Yan hasabout those prestigious and upright sects who flaunt the the fact that you aren't even a sect leader anye of Mount Xuandu, would you offer to take ree to do so, will the other people on Mount Xuandu agree with you?”
Her series of questions left Shen Qiao slightly baffled After a while, he let out a sigh, ”Yes, you're right It was inappropriate for me to say those words”
He didn't thinkwas different fro It was a pity for her to stay in the Har's voice sounded especially sweet, ”I knew Shen-langin the Harmony Sect Ever since I saw you save even a horse, I realized you were a gentle and kind-hearted person There aren't ood people like you nowadays! I'll carefully cherish your kind regards for me I have my plans, however, so you don't need to trouble yourself orrying aboutto tell you one more secret” She suddenly ju to pull his sleeve Even though the latter quickly avoided her, it did not seem to make her unhappy Instead, her face was laced with a sense of slyness ”If you continue to stay with Yan Wushi+, nothing good will come since disaster will strike soon You should hurry and stay away from him if you don't want to be i's face changed again, but it was not because of Shen Qiao She stared straight ahead into the distance Suddenly, she perked up, ”I just re, there's no need to see htness skill to its full extent, she disappeared without a trace iht it was Yan Wushi+'s arrival that had forced her to steal away, but he found out he rong in the next moment
It was not Yan Wushi+
