Chapter 63: Invitation
Chapter 63: Invitation
Perhaps because he was preoccupied with something, or perhaps because today's opportunity was truly rare, Yu Huailin walked away for quite some time without noticing anyone behind him!
Even the guards in the shadows didn't say a word to warn him!
It's probably because their master treats this woman differently, and even repeatedly invites her to cooperate.
They were all the master's confidants, so they naturally knew what the master's ultimate goal was.
Since our master has chosen to cooperate with this woman, then this matter... shouldn't need to be kept secret anymore, right?
After hesitating for a long time, they still couldn't stop Song Miqiu.
Or perhaps they never imagined that their usually cautious and shrewd master hadn't even noticed anyone following them at first.
It wasn't until he was walking down the street and a gust of cold wind woke him up that Yu Huailin noticed someone was following him!
Not only that, the opponent's strength doesn't seem to be very strong, otherwise, why would they reveal such a strong breathing ability?
His tracking skills are really terrible.
In order to find out the other party's identity, Yu Huailin did not show any abnormality, but quickened his pace and wandered around the various alleys as if he had some urgent business.
Song Miqiu thought so too, so he quickened his pace, afraid of losing them.
But no matter how fast she was, she was no match for Yu Huailin, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and was highly skilled. When they chased each other into an alley, Song Miqiu lost him!
"How could that be? I was watching it closely the whole time."
She muttered something under her breath, but before she could figure it out, Song Miqiu's intuition told her that there was danger behind her!
She instinctively dodged the attack, but it was clear that her opponent had no intention of letting her go so easily. With a turn of his head, he attacked her again.
This was Song Miqiu's first time exchanging blows with someone like this, so he was inevitably a little overwhelmed.
However, she quickly became adept at it.
While resisting, he even muttered to himself: This is all thanks to Yu Huailin who has been teaching me all this time. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move.
But who exactly is this person? Judging from the looks of it, they don't seem to want to kill me directly. If that's the case, why did they choose to attack me specifically?
Was Yu Huailin's sudden disappearance also due to this person?
So where is he now?
A series of questions appeared in Song Miqiu's mind, but she just couldn't figure out the answers.
Yu Huailin did not intend to kill the person who was following him, because he still wanted to extract some information from the other party.
If it weren't so dark and he couldn't see anything, he wouldn't have made such a blatant move.
However, as the game progressed, he suddenly started to feel strange.
"This way of making a move... why does it feel so familiar?"
Isn't this the move I just taught that woman these past two days?
Suddenly remembering something, Yu Huailin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately released his strength and withdrew his move.
Song Miqiu was fighting hard, and although he was a little exhausted, such an opportunity was really rare.
Since the other party doesn't want my life, then I can only use them as a practice opponent!
"Coward! Why didn't you continue?"
Yu Huailin couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
"I didn't know you had become so bold, but it seems you haven't wasted your evenings these past few days. You've learned very well, and you're quite proficient in using the moves."
They just hired the wrong person.
I didn't teach her these things so she could use them against me!
Song Miqiu also recognized the voice and was momentarily stunned.
"It's you? Did you notice me behind you a long time ago?!"
No wonder he suddenly disappeared. It turns out he wasn't kidnapped, but was just fooling me and lying in ambush!
But would Song Miqiu dare to speak out and criticize him directly?
Of course she wouldn't dare!
Stalking others is nothing to brag about, and Song Miqiu wouldn't be foolish enough to bring it up on purpose.
"I was just curious, I didn't have any other intentions. But since you've already found out, let's get everything out in the open today. Did you deliberately do all these things and hide so many things just to keep us in Lincheng?"
If this isn't the truth, then it's really hard to explain all of this.
Song Miqiu was not naive enough to believe that everything was a coincidence.
Where in this world are there so many coincidences?
Even if it was just a coincidence, the fact remains that he knew about it but didn't report it, right?
In short, it's now very difficult for Song Miqiu not to suspect Yu Huailin.
Seeing her serious expression, Yu Huailin also gave up his joking thoughts.
"If I say I'm not, will you believe me?"
Song Miqiu didn't speak, but the expression on his face answered him.
She simply didn't believe it!
If the man can't give a clear explanation, she'll find it hard to accept it.
Yu Huailin sighed, "Sometimes the way you are really hurtful. We're practically partners, but you never trust me. I didn't intentionally lead you here. Even without all this, if we continued on our way, we would have run into the Crown Prince and his men anyway."
Rather than passively waiting for an appointment, they might as well take the initiative and present themselves to him, so that they wouldn't have to live in fear.
Song Miqiu naturally understood this principle as well.
"Even if it's true, the fact remains that you concealed it."
"Yes, I did hide it because you refused to cooperate with me, so I could only go along with things and push things forward a bit. Song Miqiu, would you like to come with me to the City Lord's Mansion?"
The Crown Prince must be living in the City Lord's Mansion, as Song Miqiu had already guessed.
But that's precisely why she wants to stay far away from this place.
The idea of a crown prince or emperor is simply too far removed from my reality.
Song Miqiu did not want to get involved in these matters.
In their open and covert struggles, the innocent people around them are always the first to get hurt.
Song Miqiu wouldn't knowingly walk into danger and willingly become cannon fodder.
She has no masochistic tendencies or fetishes.
Therefore, she naturally declined Yu Huailin's invitation outright.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't want to go."
This was the most decisive refusal Song Miqiu had ever made.
Although Yu Huailin had anticipated this, he still couldn't hide his regret.
"If that's the case, then it's really a shame. I thought you would agree this time. But it's okay, we still have plenty of time. However, since you're not planning to come with me, you should go back as soon as possible. It's late, and it's not safe for you to be out alone."
Although it was meant as a word of advice, it sent chills down Song Miqiu's spine.
Watching the man's departing figure, Song Miqiu couldn't quite describe her feelings.
