Chapter 632: What sort of person is the fiancée? (2/2)

Tang Li narrowly fell on his knees to cry and call him big brother in front of Gu Beiyue right then and there. Run away? He had been on the run for a full year already, but now he had to keep running? Moreover, nowhere was safer than the Duke of Qin’s side! He sent a pleading look at Han Yunxi next, and she said in turn, “Hide!”

“Hurry and find a room to hide in. I’ll tell you when to come out. Otherwise, don’t move about!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a servant entered to report, “Your Highness, two people are asking for an audience at the gates. They say they’re from the Tang Clan.”

Did Tang Li have any other ideas besides hiding away? None! He cupped his fists at Han Yunxi before fleeing through the back door.

“Bring them to the guest hall,” Long Feiye ordered simply.

“Your Highness Duke of Qin, esteemed wangfei, this one is weary and will withdraw to rest now,” Gu Beiyue said as he retreated.

A complicated look flitted past Han Yunxi’s eyes before she asked, “Should I…check on Tang Li?”

Long Feiye didn’t reply beyond taking her hand and heading for the guest hall. Han Yunxi’s heart burst with joy. Finally, this man had stopped keeping her out of the Tang Clan’s business. She turned to steal a peek at him and found that his side profile was very, very handsome as always. They arrived at the hall at the same time the servants brought in Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru. It had been ages since Han Yunxi had seen the woman, but she looked the same as ever, if a little travelworn. She’d probably expended no end of effort hunting down Tang Li over the past year. Meanwhile, this was her first time seeing Tang Zijin. Thanks to her bad impressions of him in the past, the man’s proper clothes and manners befitting a large clan did nothing but appear sanctimonious in her eyes.

She kept her heart calm, however. This time she was only here as a listener, not to get involved in their family affairs. Both Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru felt waves in their heart at the sight of Han Yunxi. Aunt Ru had once overheard that this woman had connections with the Shadow Clan. Though she’d yet to discover the truth, she and Tang Zijin were already harboring murderous intentions thanks to that tenuous hint. But today they were here for Tang Li, so Han Yunxi’s case could wait for another day.

“Have these two seniors found me for anything in particular?” Long Feiye’s tone was neutral.

Tang Zijin sighed repeatedly as he attempted to speak. In the end, it was Aunt Ru who spoke up first. “Feiye, Li’er is with you, isn’t he?”

“He was just a moment ago, but he’s probably ran far off by now,” Long Feiye’s words sounded like nothing but the truth.

Aunt Ru and Tang Zijin grew anxious at his words. “Where did he run off to?”

Long Feiye tilted his head towards Han Yunxi instead. “Beloved consort, do you know?”

Beloved consort…

Han Yunxi didn’t expect that, and only stared foolishly at Long Feiye as his question flew over her head. Long Feiye allowed her to look while his lips curved into a perfectly composed smile.

Your Highness Duke of Qin, is it really alright to flirt under these circumstances?

Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru were both hopping mad with impatience.

“Feiye, Tang Li’s made big trouble running away from his wedding. This old man…this old man can’t even salvage the situation anymore. You should hurry up and hand him over,” Tang Zijin admitted the truth. The bride’s family had already started pressuring the Tang Clan. If they couldn’t find Tang Li soon, they were going to force the clan to pay the price.

“Could it be that the Tang Clan head can’t even bear the burden of a single ruined marriage agreement?” Long Feiye smiled coldly. Tang Zijin was getting worse and worse if he was using shoddy excuses like that one.

“Feiye, do you know who Tang Li’s fiancée is?” Aunt Ru asked urgently.

“Not interested. You won’t get what you want from your lordship. Tang Li just left, if you search in all directions, you might find him before he escapes.” Long Feiye’s words were simply chasing them off.

But Aunt Ru only revealed the startling truth. “Feiye, Tang Li’s fiancée is from Celestial Mountain!”

At this, Long Feiye angrily pounded the table and stood up. It startled Han Yunxi, who hadn’t seen him lose his temper in a long time. She was stunned as well. She never expected Tang Zijin to actually carry on with people from Celestial Mountain. Was there a hole in his head? Long Feiye was one of Celestial Mountain Sword Sect’s disciples. There was no need for the Tang Clan to make a marriage agreement with one of them! Judging from Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru’s behavior, this girl wasn’t some simple denizen of the peak, either.

“Who from Celestial Mountain?” Long Feiye demanded coldly!
