Yan Xiao's lips moved, and in the end, he still did not tell Shen Qin his thoughts.
There were some things that he had to wait until they were verified before he could do them.
"You can go down and make the arrangements. I'll tell you when the time comes."
Seeing that Yan Xiao did not have any intention to tell him, Shen Qin did not ask further. After all, even if he returned to the capital now, and returned to the King Rui Lord, he was still his own master.
She could just follow the master's orders. There was no room for her to ask any further.
"Yes."
Shen Qin nodded. Looking at Yan Xiao's smiling yet not smiling face, she thought about how her heart started to race when she was called by the butler to the living room.
Her gaze unwittingly stopped on Yan Xiao's face. Remembering the intimacy she felt just now, her eyelashes trembled slightly from shyness.
Yan Xiao noticed that she was stealing glances at him, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Then, he looked at her unintentionally.
A light chuckle came out of Yan Xiao's mouth. Shen Qin's heart trembled, and quickly withdrew that wave of imagination he had just had, and looked straight at Yan Xiao.
"What else do you think?"
Although he asked her a question with a straight face, it was probably because Shen Qin was feeling guilty. At this moment, when Yan Xiao asked this question, she almost thought that Yan Xiao had seen through her thoughts towards him.
She was so flustered that she quickly shook her head and said, "No …" "No idea."
However, she was afraid that Yan Xiao would question her further, so she quickly changed the topic, "Master, I will take care of the matter that you have asked me to do, I will take my leave."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Yan Xiao to speak, she turned around and left. Because she did not pay attention, her knee directly struck the wooden chair beside her.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Xiao hurriedly stood up and walked in front of her with large strides. He naturally squatted down and tried to help her inspect her body, but he was dodged by Shen Qin when he took a step forward.
"No …." "It's fine."
She endured the pain and looked at Yan Xiao, her expression panicking, "Master, I'm leaving."
After saying that, she started to run. Yan Xiao looked at her back, which was running even faster. He didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly giggled and laughed.
"Brother Wang, what are you looking at?"
On another area not far from them, Wang Xuan Ling was drinking with a group of comrades. Seeing that he was staring fixedly at a certain place, one of them asked curiously.
Wang Xuan Ling regained his senses, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something, as he retracted his gaze and shook his head silently, "Nothing."
In his heart, however, he started to wonder when King Rui had become so familiar with Shen Qin. From the looks of it, the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time.
He did not have a good relationship with the King Rui, but the feeling that the King Rui gave him was very similar to the feeling the King Jing had that he was a person who would not easily reveal his feelings. However, when facing Shen Qin, his expression of joy was easily revealed on her face.
After separating with Yan Xiao, Shen Qin sprinted back to his residence. Shen Chong had been waiting at the door the entire time, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Shen Qin rushing over, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly rushed forward, "Qin Er, did King Rui bully you?"
"Huh?"
Shen Qin was startled, but after that, she quickly shook her head, "No … "Nope."
"Then why did you run away in such a hurry?"
Shen Chong nervously stared at his own daughter. Being asked this question by him, even Shen Qin felt weak in his heart, "I … I was afraid that you would be worried, so I chatted with King Rui for a while and then came back. "
"Really?"
Shen Chong asked as if he believed her.
"Well, it's true, Daddy. King Rui was a righteous man, how could he do anything to his daughter. You forgot what he said. He's ten years older than me, how could he have any thoughts about me. "
In order to let her father believe that his master did not harm him, Shen Qin directly brought up the age of King Rui.
When it came to age, in the end, it was something that couldn't be considered a big deal. Some of the seventy and eighty year old elders were already looking for young girls, not to mention that Yan Xiao was only thirty years old.
With such a handsome and upright appearance, forget about saying that Qin Er was ten years younger than him, she was twenty years younger than him. If King Rui wanted to marry her, it wouldn't be impossible.
Shen Chong sighed in his heart. Looking at this daughter who was currently mutually dependent on him, if King Rui wasn't this young, he could consider that.
Shen Qin didn't know what his father was thinking, but the words that she had said to console his father caused her originally lively mind to slowly calm down.
They almost forgot what their master said just now. The age difference between them is huge, they aren't worthy at all.
Shen Qin's eyes gradually dimmed, thinking back to the past when she saw her master, he rarely smiled, her eyes always carried a tinge of sorrow, she thought, he did not return to the capital for more than 10 years, and did not see her family. Maybe there was something in the capital that he did not want to face?
Shen Qin instinctively thought of the heart of Yan Xiao, and perhaps, a lover that he had never forgotten.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Qin started to panic in her heart. Compared to how Wang Xuan Ling kept thinking about her successor, Shen Yuan, and started to speak bad of her, it made her feel even worse.
At this time, Shen Qin also started to be at a loss as to whether she liked the pavilion master or Wang Xuan Ling.
She was never familiar with matters like relationships, so when she faced this question, all that remained in her mind was confusion.
She didn't want her father to see her low spirits, so she found an excuse and went back to her room. After staying there for an afternoon, she remembered the mission that Yan Xiao gave her and quietly left the Shen Mansion to go to the Heaven's Secrets Pavilion's point of contact in the capital.
After a few days —
"Greetings, hall master."
"How is it? Did the people you investigated find anything? "
"Reporting to Hall Master, the identity of the person you are talking about is extremely mysterious. Other than the fact that he is the master of the Crown Princess Jing, we can't find any other clues as to where he came from or what his identity is."
was a little shocked to hear such an outcome from his subordinates.
She knew how capable the people of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets were. No matter how mysterious their opponent was, it was impossible for him to not have any clues.
The more it was like this, the more everyone felt that the Mr. Liu was suspicious.
As long as he didn't jump out from the rock, how could he not find any clues.
His subordinate saw that Shen Qin was silent and did not say a word, so he quickly lowered his head and apologized, "This subordinate is incompetent, and asks hall master to punish me."
"If there's nothing else, you can go back first. I'll look for you guys another day."
"Yes, your subordinate will take his leave."
After meeting with her subordinates, Shen Qin went straight to see Yan Xiao.
