206 . 2 – Shui Yun’er’s Feelings

After lunch, Shui Yun’er went out again to get in touch with the Red Chamber .

When Xue Qilin, who remained behind in the room, saw that Qi Qiqi hadn’t woken up yet, she decided to go out to see if she could find any clues about Gong Tianqing’s whereabouts . Although there is little hope, but as Shui Yun’er said, it’s better than nothing .

After a brief grooming, she put on some everyday clothes and opened the room’s door .

As she left, she took a few glances in the direction of the bed . After confirming that Qi Qiqi is still asleep, she closed the door lightly and stepped out .

Before she walked out of the courtyard, Xue Qilin met a maid coming her way .

It is the maid who welcomed them into the inn .

The maid bowed slightly and asked respectfully, “Honored guest, are you going out?”

“Mhm, I’m going for a stroll . ”

“I see . ”

The maid nodded in understanding, and then asked out of nowhere, “This maid remembers that honored guest has two companions?”

Why ask this abruptly? Xue Qilin frowned slightly . Feeling a bit strange, she unconsciously raised her vigilance .

“Honored guest, please don’t misunderstand . ”

The maid, who likely detected the slight change in Xue Qilin’s expression, waved her hands, flustered . Xue Qilin didn’t relax because of this, but instead went to the bottom of things, “That so, then why did you suddenly ask this?”

“Let this maid explain… There are a few people of high status who wish to meet one of the three honored guest . This maid was asked to inform the honored guest .

Seeing Xue Qilin’s furrowed eyebrows start to relax, the maid exhaled in relief .

“Please excuse this maid for asking, but is there a lady surnamed Xue among you three honored guests? Is she here?”

When the maid asked this, Xue Qilin’s eyes widened slightly in astonishment .

Surnamed Xue? Could it be me? Are they from the Gong Clan? Several guesses flashed in Xue Qilin’s mind .

“… are they looking for Xue Qilin?”

Uttering her own full name in front of another person made Xue Qilin feel a little strange .

“Yes . May this maid ask if she is here?”

“Yeah, she is…”

Xue Qilin assumed a weird expression involuntarily . After all, the person standing in front of the maid is “Xue Qilin” .

“That’s great! When this maid saw one of the honored guests leave just now, this maid was a little afraid that she missed Lady Xue . ”

With that, the maid patted her towering chest . Then, she looked at Xue Qilin with pleading eyes .

“May this maid ask honored guest to inform Lady Xue? Please tell Lady Xue that someone is waiting for her in the hall . ”

“Ugh…” Xue Qilin scratched her head, “I don’t think there’s a need for that . ”

“Ah?”

The maid blinked her eyes several times, not sure what’s going on .

“Just take me there . ”

The maid was stunned . Xue Qilin sighed grumpily .

“I’m saying that I am Xue Qilin . Is it something to be surprised about?”

“No, no, no, this maid didn’t mean that . This maid just just didn’t expect that such a coincidence would take place . ”

Seeing the maid shake her head like a pellet drum, Xue Qilin realized that she scared the other party .

“Okay, take me there now . ”

Xue Qilin originally intended to comfort the other party with a few words, but when she thought that they are likely people sent by Gong Jing to notify her of some news, she dismissed the idea, and instead urged the other party a little coldly .

“Oh, alright . Honored guest, this way, please . ”

The maid nodded promptly and took the lead .

Led by the maid, Xue Qilin proceeded towards the hall of the inn .

“Do you know who is looking for me?”

While walking along a promenade, Xue Qilin suddenly asked . When she heard the question, a troubled and perplexed look appeared on the maid’s face .

“This maid doesn’t know…” She carried on a little uneasily, “But it should be some noble son . He has several guards, which is quite impactful . ”

“In other words, it’s a young man?”

“It can be put this way . ”

After getting her answer, Xue Qilin was surprised, but also disappointed . According to her understanding, the person the Gong Clan would send is not likely to be a “noble son” .

However, she failed to notice the maid’s hesitation when she answered .

The journey from the courtyard Xue Qilin rented to the hall of the inn was not long, and the two quickly arrived .

“They are in a private room on the second floor . ”

After stepping into the hall that doubles as a dining hall, the maid took Xue Qilin to the second floor and knocked on the door of a private room .

“Who is it?”

A vigilant voice came from behind the door . Xue Qilin can sense nearly ten breaths from behind the door, nearly all martial practitioners . There are nine Human Realm practitioners and one Earth Realm expert . In addition to these martial practitioners, there is also a very weak breath, which appears like it will be dispersed by a breeze .

“Esteemed guests, it’s this maid . I brought Lady Xue . ”

The door was opened slightly, and a man in his twenties poked his head out . He glanced at the maid with a sharp look in his eyes, and then turned to look at Xue Qilin .

“Excuse me, are you the Merak Temple’s Lady Xue?”

He asked cautiously . Xue Qilin nodded sternly .

“Yes, I am . ”

“Bright yellow eyes, petite stature, two buns, two ponytails… should be right . ”

The man muttered to himself as he looked at Xue Qilin, probably verifying Xue Qilin’s characteristics to determine whether the person before him is the real deal or not .

Then, the man retracted his head .

Just when Xue Qilin felt that the other party was being rude, the door opened completely .

“Lady Xue, please come in . ”

The man from just now stood by the door and respectfully made an inviting gesture . Xue Qilin didn’t enter the room immediately, but instead observed the people in the room . Her eyes widened gradually .

Ten guards equipped with swords are guarding the only person sitting in the room .

Although there is nothing wrong with calling him a noble son, but he seems to be younger than she expected . Xue Qilin rubbed her eyes unconsciously . This is really incredible .

Is he the one who wants to see me?

This pale, weak-looking boy still enveloped in a thick, delicate immature air is the one who wants to see me? Xue Qilin has a dull expression on her face .

Is there perhaps a mistake? Xue Qilin rummaged through every corner of her memories, but did not find any recollection of this boy .

But, the boy, looking overjoyed, asked Xue Qilin in a happy tone .

“Are you Big Sister Xue? Big Sister Xue is much more beautiful than what I heard!”

Xue Qilin discovered that the expression on the boy’s face is that of someone who finally saw the thing they were looking forward to for a long time, full of joy and excitement . This deepened Xue Qilin’s puzzlement .

“Who are you?”

The boy blinked in a daze . Thereupon, Xue Qilin asked again, and the boy finally reacted .

“Ah! I forgot that Big Sister Xue has never seen me . ”

The boy portrayed a shy smile on his face and scratched his head, embarrassed .

Under Xue Qilin’s gaze, he propped himself up on the table and stood up with difficulty .

“Big Sister Xue, my sister has been in your care . ”

He refused the support of the guards, let go of the table, and cupped his hands towards Xue Qilin while swaying .

“This is our first meeting –”

The boy straightened his body and smiled brilliantly, showing cute dimples . Embellished by the smile, his pale face appears to gain a bit of color .

This is an innocent smile .

“– I am Gong Tianyang . ”

The boy’s voice forcefully pulled Xue Qilin out of her thoughts .

It never occurred to her that Gong Tianyang would come to her . As if she was hit by a club, Xue Qilin could only stare at the innocent-smiling boy absent-mindedly .

Inadvertently, she discovered something in her peripheral vision .

— a wooden wheelchair .
