Chapter 853: Regret, confessing to ones crimes (2/2)

The man he could never win against and the woman he could never have actually had identities like these? Although the thought was depressing, he couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud at the thought of those two being old enemies. What could be more amusing than this? Long Feiye hadn’t hesitated to send his troops to trap him on Fishery Island, all to seek revenge for Han Yunxi. He must be regretting that utterly! All of that looks like a joke now!

Jun Yixie couldn’t wait for the moment he met Long Feiye on the battle and gave him a full, mocking dressing down! At that, he gave another cold burst of laughter, terrifying the retainers around him. They didn’t understand his actions at all…

All of Cloud Realm Continent seemed peaceful in the wake of East and West Qin’s ceasefire, but there were waves stirring in the shadows. A wild storm was slowly building up as various factions made their preparations. Except for Ning Cheng, no one else had any idea that the “old enemies” of Long Feiye and Han Yunxi didn’t hate each other. If anything, they loved each other even deeper than before.

By the time Long Feiye went to look for Baili Yuanlong, his hands were empty. The shadow guards had no idea whether he went shopping or bought anything at all, because he had dispatched them all elsewhere.

Baili Yuanlong had already been waiting for him for four hours. “Your Highness, did something important delay you?”

It wasn’t clear whether Long Feiye heard him, but he didn’t answer. Baili Yuanlong had no guts to press the issue since His Highness had no requirements to report his actions. He respectfully invited Long Feiye to sit before presenting him with an accounts book. “Your Highness, everything’s been arranged. Please review it.”

Long Feiye glanced at the contents before picking out a few places for Baili Yuanlong to fix. It took less time to brew a pot of tea before master and subordinate settled all the details. By now, it was already late night.

“You Highness, you’ve worked hard these few days. How about resting one more night before heading back?” Baili Yuanlong asked. If His Highness hadn’t come back late, they could’ve returned long ago.

“No need, prepare the horses,” Long Feiye rose to his feet. His plans had gone awry: he didn’t know it’d take so long to buy his things. Even if he set out now, the earliest he’d reached the barracks would be tomorrow morning.

What was that woman, Han Yunxi, doing right now? Sleeping? The conditions of the military barracks were simple and crude, so he didn’t know if she had been sleeping well the past few nights. He suddenly recalled something as his lips drew up into a bewitching, sexy grin.

Baili Yuanlong had someone prepare a carriage, but Long Feiye wanted to go on horseback. Without a choice, Baili Yuanlong accompanied him to rush back to the barracks.

Meanwhile, Han Yunxi was awake despite it being the dead of night. Thanks to her insomnia from the past two days, she had spent the day with a dizzy, heavy head and dozed off. Thus, her biological clock was turned upside down, causing her to wake up in the wee hours of the night. Today was no exception.

The military barracks were different than other places, where she could find Xu Donglin to take a stroll outside. Here, she had already walked the limits of her confinement and there were soldiers all around her. The person she missed hadn’t come back yet!

After tossing and turning a bit, she suddenly remembered something. Her hand crept under her pillow and took out the two black bound books. She hesitated a bit, then opened them up for a look. If anyone else was around, she’d never peek, but she couldn’t help but be curious when she was alone. Although her ears grew redder the more she read, she still flipped through it page by page. Sometimes she’d be stunned, or alarmed, or laugh secretly up her sleeve and feel awkward. Of course, only she herself knew what she saw.

No wonder this came from the imperial palace. It’s so dirty!

Han Yunxi was about to move to the second volume when a succession of soft sounds came from outside her tent. It’s so late, but there’s still noise. Could Long Feiye be back?

Han Yunxi immediately grew flustered as her face flushed scarlet. She quickly stuffed the books back under her pillow, afraid that Long Feiye would see them if he charged inside. But despite waiting for a long time, the noise outside only grew louder without anyone coming in. She suddenly wanted to laugh at herself. Even if Long Feiye had come back, he’d head for the main barracks first. How could he simply come into her quarters like before?

As expected, she was suffering from a guilty conscience for doing something naughty.

Han Yunxi quickly straightened up her clothes. Even if Long Feiye couldn’t see her immediately, she could at least take a peek at him. But disappointment greeted her as soon as she stepped outside. Long Feiye wasn’t here, but a group of soldiers had gathered by the main barracks to prepare for what looked like a bonfire.

“What’s going on over here?” Han Yunxi asked a mermaid soldier offhandedly.

The mermaid soldier only gave her a look before replying coldly, “You have no right to know!”

“Xu Donglin!” Han Yunxi shouted.

Immediately, Xu Donglin emerged from his hiding place in the shadows. “West Qin princess, do you have any requests?”

An unhappy Han Yunxi said, “What’s going on over here? Have them all stop, do they want anyone to sleep at this time of night? Where’s Your Highness Crown Prince? Let him get over here and explain himself!”
