My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along-Chapter 459 - 440:

Qi Yexue and Ye Wushang had already left the ruined temple during the fight between Green Robe and Yun Ran; they were merely observing and did not participate.

Qi Yexue thought that with the Ghost King’s strength, there was no need for her to intervene, while Ye Wushang focused on Yun Ran. Her movements and the techniques she used caused a slight ripple in his otherwise cold and indifferent eyes.

Qi Yexue, who was occasionally observing him, naturally noticed his anomaly. She couldn’t help but frown slightly, feeling a bit puzzled. Did she even see a hint of nervousness and concern in his eyes? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

This... how is that possible? Did she see it wrong?

"Wushang, do you... know that girl?"

Qi Yexue watched him for a while and finally couldn’t resist asking softly.

"I don’t know her."

Hearing this answer, Qi Yexue was slightly stunned and still wanted to ask more, but Green Robe’s cold voice echoed in their ears along with the howling north wind:

"If I must know who she is, you two should go and find her for me right now! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground and turn Tianchu Capital City upside down, you must drag her out for me."

"What about Lin Wanyue..."

"Do you not understand what I just said?"

Qi Yexue hesitated for just a moment, but Green Robe’s sharp gaze swept over her, the voice as cold as water from a gutter, chilling to the bone.

"Yes! I accept the order!"

Qi Yexue dared not say more, turned to glance at Ye Wushang, and the two of them leaped forward one after another, disappearing into the boundless wilderness.

...

Compared to Green Robe’s gloomy mood, Yun Ran was feeling carefree and even bought two more beggar’s chickens because of it.

She felt that she had found the key to accelerating the recovery of her martial prowess—more fighting! And against masters!

On the day when all her skills recover, she could once again roam the martial world unchallenged!

Yun Ran was feeling smug, nearly bumping head-on into someone.

Yu Qingyan.

Seeing clearly that it was Yun Ran in front of her, a flash of surprise quickly crossed her eyes, then she exclaimed joyfully:

"Miss Lin? So you’re alright? That’s wonderful! Mr. Shen and I have been worried about you these days."

"Oh? Worried about me for what?"

Yun Ran lazily glanced at Yu Xiu Square behind her, the most famous jewelry shop in the Capital City. She must have just finished shopping and nearly bumped into her at the doorway with a turn.

If she thought she had disappeared and was buying jewelry to celebrate, she wouldn’t mind believing it.

But then she noticed Shen Mubai walking out of Yu Xiu Square.

He was still so handsome and spirited that even amidst the bustling crowd, he caught one’s attention at once.

Shen Mubai was obviously stunned for a moment, stood there in a daze, then suddenly darted forward with a step, his eyes deeply fixating on her, "Wanyue, you’re alright!"

His expression was filled with uncontrollable excitement, even his voice slightly hoarse.

Yun Ran glanced at him unfriendly, "Why? Should something have happened to me?"

"No, not at all, Wanyue, that’s not what I meant, please don’t misunderstand, don’t get angry, what I meant was..."

Shen Mubai hurried to explain, even a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead, but Yun Ran wasn’t interested in listening.

"What you mean has nothing to do with me? I have no interest in knowing. And, don’t block my way!"

Under Yun Ran’s cold gaze, Shen Mubai instinctively stepped aside, but as Yun Ran left, he couldn’t help but follow, "Wanyue..."

Yun Ran suddenly stopped, turned to look at Yu Qingyan, and affectionately called her, "Qingqing~"
