C42 (1/2)

Night gradually approached. The moon playfully climbed up the treetops, and the stars mischievously blinked their bright eyes at the quiet world, soothing all that was sleeping. Occasionally, the sound of crickets could be heard, causing the sleeper to sleep more peacefully.

Bu Jinghua, who had been tired all day, also fell asleep. However, his dreams were not peaceful.

Bu Jinghua tightly knitted his brows in sleep. His body was curled up into a ball, and his hands were tightly clenched into the shape of a fist. Even his sleeping mind was highly tense, as if he was on high alert.

This was Bu Jinghua. No matter if it was before or now, he had never had a peaceful sleep. Even though he was only a ”sixteen year old” little girl, he still felt uneasy.

A gust of night wind blew, adding a bit of freshness to the sun-poisoned air of the day. Suddenly, a white silhouette flew past like the night wind and landed on one of the roofs of the Bu Clan. This room was actually Bu Jinghua's.

Under the bright moonlight, it was not hard to see that the newcomer was dressed entirely in white. Under the moonlight, his pale face looked even paler, especially his ghost-like eyes, which looked even more demonic under the silence of the night.

It was not hard to see that this person was Imperial Advisor Bai Lingbai.

But why was he here now?

His ethereal eyes slightly contracted, and his body moved like the wind, landing outside of Bu Jinghua's room. The feeling this girl gave him was too weird, and in order to figure this out, secretly investigating was the most real thing, and night was the best time.

He definitely would not deny that he, Bai Ling, was not a gentleman. Therefore, it was not a shameful thing for him to do to scout the night.

In order to achieve his goal, he could do anything he wanted. He would definitely make those people pay, no matter what methods he used! He had to!

Bai Ling stood at the door, her clear eyes flashing with vicious hatred and determination.

He threw a white bead into the room through the gap in the door. Then, a white smoke was emitted from the bead and filled every corner of the room.

”Smoke, hold your breath!” When the Bee Dragon woke up, Bu Jinghua had already absorbed the smoke into his body. Soon, even the last bit of defense was gone. His body suddenly relaxed and he fell into a deep sleep.

”Crap, this aura …” The hummingdragon quickly took out a white jade bottle from the almost transparent bracelet on its wrist. It opened the bottle and shook it. A drop of almost transparent liquid flowed out and dripped onto Bu Jinghua's body.

”They came with ill intentions!” The hummingdragon rushed forward and hid in Bu Jinghua's hair. At the same time, it concealed its presence.

When the white smoke dissipated, Bai Ling pushed open the door and walked in.

Hopefully, this girl was the one he was looking for!

After entering the room, Bai Ling walked into Bu Jinghua's bedside with the only ray of moonlight left in her eyes. She stood there silently for a while before she reached out her right hand and pressed it against Bu Jinghua's forehead.

However, after a long time, she still could not feel what she was looking for. Bai Ling let go of her right hand. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.

This time, he failed again. She was not the person he was looking for! Sigh, when would his wish be realized?

That pair of eyes were filled with an indescribable sadness. It was even more desolate in this kind of night.

”Hmph, barging into a little girl's room at such a late hour, you can't be thinking of doing something, right?” In this quiet night, another figure appeared out of nowhere. This person happened to appear in the doorway of Bu Jinghua's room. That person stood there with his silent eyes staring at Bai Ling, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a contemptuous smile.

Bai Ling turned around and the sadness in her eyes quickly disappeared, returning to her usual calm and mysterious self. She stared at the newcomer, feeling shocked and bewildered. He didn't even know when this person had come in.

”It's you …” Bai Ling immediately recognized the person who came. Wasn't that the Silver Face who was standing beside Bu Jinghua during the day?

The presence of his inner force was not weak; it was even stronger than her own. Bai Ling hid her expression and spoke coldly while guarding against the newcomers, ”What are you doing here on a night like this?” Although he knew that what he did was wrong, his pride did not allow him to feel sorry for himself.

”Me?” The silver-masked man scoffed and shook his head slightly. He looked at Bai Ling with disdain, ”As her bodyguard, it's natural for me to be here. But you, not only did you barge in at night, but also put out smoke … Hmph, isn't his intentions a little too obvious! Tell me, what exactly is your intention? ” The silver-masked man's gaze turned cold and his tone changed.

”What I intend to do has nothing to do with you!” Having her thoughts caught, Bai Ling became a little angry out of embarrassment.

”I also hope that it doesn't have anything to do with me, but she's under my control right now, and since you've already set your sights on her, then it has something to do with me!” The silver mask spoke word by word with determination.

”In that case, make your move!” Bai Ling stood there in the dark night, her clear eyes glinting with chilliness.

”The moves are certain to come out, but they are not here. Follow me!” With that, he leaped up into the air, his two legs gliding as he moved with ease.
