Qingyan looked towards him with her head tilt, "I'll tell you when we get back, everything regarding the Ning family."
Seeing Qingyan leaving him in suspense, Murong Jingxuan smiled back, "Alright. Then I'll just have to risk my life to accompany you tonight."
Qingyan rolled her eyes at him, "Tomorrow at noon, come find me in my yard. I'll tell you everything I know."
Murong Jingxuan stared at the bright smile on her face, "Then, tomorrow I'll be sure to pay Miss Su a visit."
Qingyan didn't want to leave room for people to gossip, so naturally he needed to mind this, especially since Qingyan was still an unmarried lady. But when he thought of this, he still felt it was a bit inappropriate.
After thinking for a moment, he looked to Qingyan with a serious look, "Tomorrow, in the morning, come by my Julong Zhai*." He brought out a command plaque as he said this and handed it to Qingyan, "This is my command plaque. With it, you can freely enter and leave my Julong Zhai."
(*TN: The term translates to 'building'; the place is like a teahouse/restaurant.)
Qingyan glanced at the plaque with the seven stars of the Major Ursa engraved on it, and without a second thought, she accepted it into her sleeve. "Alright then, going to find you myself tomorrow is the same."
After taking a glance at Qingyan, Murong Jingxuan soon disappeared into the night.
Watching his back retreating into the distance, Qingyan patted the white tiger's back, and soon they too disappeared into the night.
When Qingyan got back to Yingshuang yard, it was already close to dawn, but she wasn't the slightest bit sleepy. She quietly lit a candle in her room, and afterwards, with the candle in hand, activated the door to a hidden chamber in her room.
This hidden chamber should be left by the original Su Qingyan, however it seems she'd never really used it before. Not long ago, Qingyan unintentionally discovered this hidden chamber, and it was slightly different than what she'd imagined.
"Didn't I tell you not to appear at this time anymore?" Hearing this voice, Qingyan turned to hide behind a stone statue. Because her figure was small, that stone statue was able to completely shelter her small stature.
She wasn't
g to find Qingdai and Chishao.
Although Qingyan didn't know how skillful Qingdai and Chishao really were, they still came from the Seven Star Hall after all. If she were to send them to protect Su Yun as well, then it should also be a great help.
Just when Qingyan was contemplating this, she heard Qingdai and Chishao's voice come through, "Miss, you called us?"
"Qingdai, Chishao, the two of you have already been with me for awhile now. I've regarded you two as family." Qingyan looked to them with a serious tone, "My parents are in trouble, I hope you can go and protect them."
Qingdai and Chishao didn't understand what was going on, and Qingyan could only explain the situation to them one by one. At last, Qingdai and Chishao decided to help Qingyan, at the very least, the forest wasn't a threat to their life. But if it as someone else, that may not be the case.
What was terrifying about the Forest of Buried Souls wasn't because giant animals appeared there, but more importantly, it was because in the forest there were many unable to be seen marshes. And if one were to fall into one of these marshes, then they could only wait for death.
"Since it's miss's request, we'll definitely give it our best." Qingdai and Chishao respectfully looked to Qingyan and replied.
Qingyan let out a smile, actually this wasn't bad!
At least she still had these people by her side that could help her.
Murong Jingxuan, I believe, even you are willing to be by my side.
