Unexpectedly, Luo Yan frankly admitted: “Tsk tsk, he’s a top-tier catch! Hardly any woman wouldn’t be moved, right? It’s not strange if I really did fall for him!”
Seeing her expression, I knew she was teasing me, so I let go of her hand, giving her a displeased look: “Stop it!”
“Why?” Luo Yan looked puzzled.
I gave her a suggestive wink and laughed loudly: “Ha ha, because you’re already married. Even if you did like him, you’d have no chance!”
The girl retorted unconvinced: “Hmph! Who says so? I’ll divorce that nominal husband right away! When I steal your young master, don’t cry later!
I scoffed: “Joking. I’ve been here so long, and nothing has ever made me cry. If you want to see me cry, you’ll need to try harder!” Cry for that guy? Impossible…
She finally revealed a satisfied smile, giggling: “Hey, you’re going to investigate clues, let me go with you! It’ll be good to have someone watching out for each other!”
“This mission might be dangerous, you…” I hesitated somewhat, since the other party’s purpose was unclear, and rashly taking her into danger didn’t seem right.
Luo Yan raised her eyebrows, patting my shoulder with confidence: “Don’t worry! I’ve trained with my master, and while I might not be much help, I definitely won’t hold you back!”
I looked her up and down, uncertain if she was truly as capable as she claimed, but still nodded: “Alright then!”
Fate, Surprisingly Magical (8)
The night was deep, the crescent moon hidden behind black clouds, not revealing a single ray of light. Two black shadows swiftly moved across a row of rooftops, moving as quietly as cats, careful not to make a sound. Soon, the two black shadows stopped above an inn, quietly lying on the roof, surveying the surroundings.
I and Luo Yan were dressed entirely in black, with black scarves covering our faces, looking exactly like ancient assassins and spies.
Luo Yan deliberately lowered her voice, carefully asking: “Are you sure the princess is inside?”
I raised my head, putting a finger to my lips for silence, while my other hand skillfully lifted the roof tiles. Light shone through the gaps, harshly illuminating my face.
