It seems that since falling from the cliff, I’ve become increasingly reckless. The Fei Xinran who once prided herself on being clever and calm seems to be slowly leaving my body.
I feel like I’ve returned to the naive state from ten years ago when I was drowning in Mu Zixu’s shadow.
Filled with regret, I pushed the person beside me, Yutao, wanting to borrow her courage. Who knew the girl had already been scared unconscious by the previous scene! With no other choice, I gritted my teeth and walked out of the carriage, maintaining a forced calm from ten zhang away: “You can’t leave!”
He said nothing, just staring at me with a cold and sharp gaze, as if trying to see through me, his expression profound and unfathomable.
I couldn’t help but swallow, took a deep breath, and continued: “You scared away my carriage driver, so you must help us drive the carriage!”
I had no choice – I didn’t want to continue staying here with a pile of corpses.
…
Those black-clothed men have all died by his sword.
“Don’t be afraid! We’ve been traveling for several hours. Even if they wanted to chase us, they couldn’t catch up!” I patted Yutao’s shoulder, offering a ‘kind’ consolation.
Meiying turned around with a complex expression, and I winked at him.
“Hey, where are you going?” I took the opportunity to ask.
Meiying remained silent. I simply crawled out of the carriage and sat beside him, patting his shoulder.
“Meiying, will you take us to explore the jianghu?”
He suddenly and unexpectedly pulled on the reins. I stumbled, almost falling from the carriage. I let out a scream, desperately closing my eyes. With a long arm, he caught me and steadied me back beside him.
Confirming I was still alive, I immediately started shouting, “Hey, how are you driving? Are you trying to kill me?”
After my long tirade, I realized his gaze was frighteningly cold. I swallowed hard and tried to sound calm, “You… what do you want?”
He suddenly reached out his right hand and grabbed my neck, “Who are you? Why are you disguised and deliberately approaching me?”
“Miss?” Yuluo, seeing me suddenly seized, cried out and wanted to rush to help me.
