Chapter 56 - Interest

”Continue acting.” Returning to the carriage, Gu Yicheng spoke out loud.

Yun Qianliang was in a good mood, upon hearing that, he chuckled, and with a strange look, she asked: ”Master, could it be that you want to help me pay for my journey?”

”It's not like I don't have anything to discuss when I'm satisfied with my performance.” Gu Yicheng made a request to her as if he was inviting all of them.

”Forget it, I can't hide if I don't dare to offend him.” Yun Qianliang laughed and said to the driver: ”To Jia Kang Street.”

It was already dark in the winter evening. The cold wind was blowing and the temperature had dropped considerably.

There were two doors in front of the curtain of the carriage. The cold wind blew outside, and inside, there was a warm stove.

Yun Qianliang leaned heheread against the carriage, his eyes drooping down as she stared blankly at a place where she was lost in thought. Occasionally, his eyelids would twitch, but she forced herself to focus once more, unwilling to close his eyes to rest.

Gu Yicheng sat upright, as his deep eyes calmly rested on her body, ”I'll call you when it's time.”

”Thank you very much.” Yun Qianliang replied softly. His voice was weak.

Yun Qianliang's body was exhausted, but his thoughts were abnormally active, and he had only closed her eyes to rest. If the carriage's speed changed at all, she would open her eyes to take a look, and then continue to close her eyes to rest.

”Grandfather said that your birthday is the day of Mid-Autumn.” In the silence, Yun Qianliang suddenly opened his mouth.

”Yes.” Gu Yicheng admitted it.

Yun Qianliang moved her lips, she tilted her head and stared at the handsome face, and sighed.

”This good guy's life was ruined by your temper.” Yun Qianliang shook her head and said regretfully.

He had a lovely face, but he did something infuriating.

If not for the fact that Marquis of Anguo knew that her birthday was in the first month and wanted to give her a birthday feast, she would have asked Gu Yicheng about his birthday in the past. She would have been deceived and believe that his birthday was coming up, she planned to get Lu Ben out of there quickly.

She had spent so much time and effort on this thing, but his words had turned out to be a simple bluff.

”That's how you can be confident.” Gu Yicheng purposely pulled up a strand of hair and played with it between his fingers, ”With my looks, I enjoy being a lady. It's much easier to handle things.”

Yun Qianliang carefully studied that face, it was as though she was looking at a sculpture. His angular face was extremely handsome, with eyebrows that flew straight to her temples, and under her nose was a sexy lips, like the color of a crabapple petal. There was a playful smile on his face, which had a bad taste, and her outer appearance looked extremely loose, but the light in her eyes made others not dare to look down on him.

She was extraordinarily elegant, amorous, and dainty.

”Seems like the Prime Minister has overdone it.” Yun Qianliang joked joyfully, ”Could it be that those Singer Dancer s in the palace …?”

”My appetite is good, but I'm also picky.” Gu Yicheng replied meaningfully.

Yun Qianliang smiled and nodded, she no longer paid any attention to him, but the corners of her eyes did not contain any anger nor evasion.

The ruins of the ruins were piled up, the roof walls were covered with cobwebs, thick dust fell to the ground, and the surroundings were dark. The inside of the temple was extremely terrifying.

Wen Meng was dressed in light attire and wrapped up in her cloak tightly. She was holding a cotton package in her arms as she nervously walked back and forth in the run-down temple, waiting for Shi Yong's arrival.

After walking back and forth twice, Wen Meng confirmed the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

This was not the first time she had tried to kill someone, but it was the first time she had done it herself. She was unavoidably afraid in her heart, afraid that if Shi Yong found out, she would be harmed, but when she thought about how if Shi Yong did not die, she would be facing an even greater crisis.

She could not lose everything she had, so Shi Yong had to die.

Wen Meng's killing intent became stronger and her anxious heart had calmed down.

Yun Qianliang went from the alley to the run-down temple. The sky was dark, and she could not see anyone outside the run-down temple, so she could not see their faces from a distance. Such a sky was perfect for doing evil.

She began to walk towards the door of the dilapidated temple, which had long since lost its color. The plaque at the entrance of the broken temple had long since fallen to the ground, allowing anyone to step on it and destroy it.

Upon stepping into the courtyard of the dilapidated temple, a gust of cold wind blew against their faces, stirring up the dust on the ground.

Yun Qianliang lit up the lanterns in front of his, and walked through the courtyard.

When Wen Meng heard the sound and saw the light outside, her heart thumped like thunder. She lowered her footsteps and hid herself somewhere, so that no outsiders would notice her presence.

Yun Qianliang stood at the entrance of the original two doors and said loudly: ”Come out.”

Wen Meng, who had just finished concealing herself, heard the voice she didn't want to hear the most.

Why would Yun Qianliang come here?
