Chapter 268 (2/2)

She was extremely good at calculating people’s will.

She knew that once Zhong Rushuang and company learned that the guqin was the Blackwave Zither, they would be excited and think of ways to steal it, instead of chasing after her.

And because of the oath, unless there was a special circumstance, that red-clothed evildoer wouldn’t treat her ruthlessly either.

Even though this move seemed risky, in reality, she was certain of its success.

She had handled this disaster perfectly.

She patted the little qilin’s horn. “Okay, you can run at a slower pace. We don’t need to be in such a hurry to return.”

Looking at how much time had passed, she had already been in Tianshu Mountain for four days. It’s also the fifth day since the Ancestor came to the imperial palace. ‘He should have already left by now, right?’

Ji Yunhuang was probably released from the ice palace hall, and must have heard about the matter of his imperial father bestowing her a marriage, right?

“It wasn’t because they couldn’t tell the difference but because they wanted to find a justifiable reason to kill me. They had actually taken a fancy to you.” Ning Xuemo patted its horn again.

‘A qilin beast, this is a rarely seen legendary creature!’ The greediness of those three didn’t come as a surprise to her.

“They’re so evil; I wouldn’t go with them!” the little qilin snorted disdainfully but was still a little worried. “But since they’re so greedy, they might not simply let this matter go. Maybe in the future they’ll try to find us.”
