Chapter 527: Don’t Be Enemies with Her Anymore

“Not at all!” replied Ling Yichen seriously.

Jiang Wuhen had just thought of breaking into a smile when Ling Yichen continued decisively, “You do not look like that kind of person, you are that kind of person.”

And therefore, Jiang Wuhen was dealt a heavy blow and his puffed-out chest simply caved in.

“Is it because you are afraid that you have too many enemies and without the both of us protecting you, you would end up being beaten?” asked Ling Chuxi as she raised her brows and laughed. This should roughly be the only reason he stayed back.

“Since we are companions, you guys won’t just look on as I get beaten right?” asked Jiang Wuhen shyly.

“We won’t,” replied Ling Yichen solemnly.

“I knew it, the both of you are also not disloyal people,” said Jiang Wuhen with a bright smile.

“We will close our eyes instead,” added on Ling Chuxi.

Jiang Wuhen’s smiled froze and his chest caved in even more.

Seeing Jiang Wuhen’s sorrowful look, the corners of Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen’s lips curved up slightly. The unhappiness they felt from before had scattered with the wind at this moment. With Jiang Wuhen, this clown, around, the atmosphere was just not the same anymore.

Stepping onto the carriage, Jiang Wuhen lashed the whip forward, and with a long neigh from the steed driving the carriage, they started moving towards Nan Xia Country once again.

‘Whose entrustment exactly did that old man receive?’ Ling Chuxi’s mind was still ruminating on this question.

The carriage was sprinting ahead and outside, Jiang Wuhen was humming a melody that was out of tune. As he was humming away, he moved around to his tuneless melody, looking like he was lacking a beating. Ling Chuxi observed the back of Jiang Wuhen’s thin, skinny frame as if in deep thought. She frowned slightly and did not make a sound for a long time.

…

On the other hand, their attackers were facing an atmosphere that was not so easygoing.

“Young Master, we have failed,” announced Ghost Shadow and his company of four as they knelt before Qing Lingyan.

“What!?” exclaimed Qing Lingyan. She almost did not dare believe her own ears. Given the cultivation levels of Ghost Shadow and his men, they were an entire realm above Ling Chuxi. How could they possibly have failed? With them going four against two, how could they possibly have failed?!

“Someone intervened,” explained Ghost Shadow simply.

“Who?!” barked Qing Lingyan, her eyes once again revealing shades of manic violence. There was actually someone who dared to meddle in her matters. They must be seeking death!

“It seemed to be someone of the Clear Wind Sect. Hearsay, he received the entrustment of someone else to interfere in the matter and we couldn’t hold him back,” explained Ghost Shadow further. He guessed at that old man’s origins when they had exchanged blows. Both parties were well aware in their hearts of the other party’s origins, but were unwilling to say it out in the open, that’s all.

“Clear Wind Sect. Do they also want to stand against Cold Moon Palace?” said Qing Lingyan through gritted teeth, but her heart felt a little uneasy. If the other sects found out about Cold Moon Palace interfering in such matters, then the situation would not be too optimistic for them.

“He did not identify himself and looked as though he was really only getting involved because he was entrusted a task by someone else and seemed unwilling to make things difficult for Cold Moon Palace,” continued Ghost Shadow as he searched his thoughts more.

“Then, there is no need to take this so seriously,” said Qing Lingyan, feeling relieved.

“Young Master, I feel that it is best not to be enemies with her anymore,” said Ghost Shadow hesitantly.

“Oh?” Qing Lingyan looked at Ghost Shadow directly with quite a bit of anger in her expression. If Ghost Shadow did not give her a reasonable enough reason for what he said, she would immediately act violently.

“She has with her the Flowing Clouds Sect inner disciple token. I am worried engaging with her further will bring unnecessary troubles to us,” said Ghost Shadow. Flowing Clouds Sect was a sect that they, mere Cold Moon Palace, absolutely could not afford to provoke. Furthermore, he was very clear about Young Master’s character.
