C572 black cat (1/2)

Ling Xi did not dare to think about it, because once tomorrow arrived, Murong Yue would leave the Imperial City.

As Mu Ru Yue's confidante, she didn't hide this matter from him.

Once the wangfei left the Imperial City, she would be the only one who would come here to trade. Those people weren't simple. If she was the only one, what could possibly go wrong with her?

Ling Xi didn't dare to take the risk.

In this matter, she wished for a 100% guarantee.

What Ling Xi had mentioned was also what Murong Yue was worried about. It was one thing if the other party did not have any intentions. However, if the other party truly had the intention of cheating them, then Ling Xi's concerned and disorderly attitude would inevitably lead to a loss.

”Wait a little longer.” Mu Ru Yue suppressed the worry in her heart as she said that calmly. At this moment, if she were to lose her cool, wouldn't Ling Xi become even more chaotic?

Ling Xi felt slightly more at ease with Murong Yue's instructions. She looked up and continued to wait.

Just like this, another quarter of an hour passed. The upper management remained silent. Mu Ru Yue frowned. ”From the looks of it, he seems to be hesitating? Or was there something that got in his way? ”

”Princess, what should we do?” Ling Xi started to panic. She couldn't ask Mu Ru Yue to stay in the Imperial City for her grandfather's matter. Mu Ru Yue rarely hid anything from her, and with the added news, she knew what was happening in the south.

It was already benevolent of her to remain here. If she asked for anything else, it would be a step closer to victory. Thinking like this, Ling Xi also suppressed the urge to make a request.

And just as Ling Xi was panicking in her heart, she heard a sound, ”Meow …”

It was not loud.

”Where did this wild cat come from?” Mu Ru Yue raised her brows.

Just as she finished speaking, a black kitten jumped down from the mountain path and squatted in front of Mu Ru Yue. It looked at her with its pair of golden eyes. ”Meow …”

”Princess, who is this cat?” Ling Xi curiously looked at the cat. Ye Zichen pointed at a golden gourd that was tied around the black cat's neck. Then she looked at Mu Ru Yue with an expression that seemed to ask for something.

Mu Ru Yue nodded her head as well, gesturing for Ling Xi to go and pick the gourd. After Ling Xi had plucked the gourd, the little black cat that was previously well-behaved suddenly jumped away. They once more returned to the mountain.

How could Mu Ru Yue not understand now?

This cat was probably here to deliver the gourd. Ye Zichen opened the gourd and saw two words written on it: Yue Lao.

”This... Is it Yue Lao Shrine? ” Ling Xi guessed.

”It should be. However, the other party was quite careful. They don't even use fireworks anymore and only used a cat. ” However, that cat was very cute!

Mu Ru Yue thought.

”Yeah, this person contacted me many times. Until now, I don't even know what kind of person he is, whether he's a man or a woman.” Ling Xi echoed. He was curious about the other party's existence.

However, this was not the time to be curious about him.

”No matter who it is, as long as we go up the mountain, we will naturally know.” ”Let's go.” Mu Ru Yue walked up the mountain path as she spoke. In the mountains, there were many banyan trees.

Therefore, the mountain path was a little difficult to walk on.

Ling Xi followed beside Murong Yue. One of them looked to the left, while the other looked to the right. The exposed roots of the banyan trees formed something like the ground. On the ground, there were quite a few abandoned shrines.

Some of the statues in the temple even fell out. It looked very strange.

But even so, there were still some offerings beside these deities.

”I really didn't expect this … Such a scene actually happened in Bai Jingshan. ”I had thought that Mount Baijing would be more prosperous.” At the side, Ling Xi spoke with some regret.
