C829 829 Familiar Style

Yan Yuan slightly nodded his head, but did not leave the door. It wasn't until Qin Xuan got on the carriage and walked far away from them that he retracted his gaze, feeling a strange yet indescribable sense of loss in his heart.

After leaving the King Jing Palace, Liu Ruo Qing's heart finally relaxed. Only then did she realize that the palms of her hands were actually covered with sweat, was it wet and sticky.

After returning to the tavern, Liu Ruo Qing took off the human skin mask on her face, her eyes dim.

The one she loved was close at hand, but she could not recognize him.

The hatred she had for the annihilation of the Jiang Family and the incurable illness she was suffering from left her unable to return to Yan Yuan's side. This kind of torture caused her to feel both physically and mentally exhausted.

She pinched her temples and suddenly thought of the Senior Magus Ye Man that Qin Xuan had mentioned to her.

She immediately stood up and walked to Qin Xuan's door. She adjusted her mood and knocked on Qin Xuan's door, "Your Highness."

"Come in."

Qin Xuan's voice came from inside.

Liu Ruo Qing pushed the door and entered. Qin Xuan was sitting in front of the table with a pen in his hand.

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing coming over, he raised her eyebrows and smiled, "This king has created a chance for you two to be together. Are you here to thank me?"

Liu Ruo Qing was too lazy to blabber with him, she walked in front of him and said straightforwardly: "I've seen Senior Magus Ye Man before."

Qin Xuan's drawing movements suddenly stopped, and he looked at Liu Ruo Qing in surprise, confirming his words: "You've seen Ye Man before?"

"Yes."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, "That day when I was at the execution grounds preparing to behead him, the person who saved me was Ye Man."

Qin Xuan was surprised by this matter, "Why did Ye Man save you?"

"He wants my life, but he also wants to keep my body."

She could clearly feel that Ye Man really wanted to kill her, but when she fell off the cliff, he actually rushed over to pull her back.

This allowed her to be certain that he truly wanted her corpse. In other words, her corpse had a very important meaning to Ye Man, or the person backing Ye Man.

As for what they wanted her corpse for, she did not know.

After Liu Ruo Qing explained her thoughts to Qin Xuan, she added, "He said that she would help his disciple do a favor at the same time. His disciple also wants me to die."

"Disciple?"

Qin Xuan frowned, "You even know his disciple?"

Liu Ruo Qing snappily snorted, "I don't even know who his disciple is, but … From the tone of his voice, I can tell that his disciple knows me. "

This was also something that Liu Ruo Qing couldn't understand. Ye Man was the disciple of a Miao person, how could he know of her, a woman from the royal family that resided far away in the Easternum.

"This is getting more and more complicated."

Qin Xuan laughed, but that smile did not reach his eyes.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't care what Qin Xuan was thinking at the moment, she wanted to tell Qin Xuan everything she knew in detail, perhaps it would be of help to him.

"When I fell down, I saw Sixth Brother coming over. Maybe he could have seen something too, maybe you could have asked Yan Yuan to ask Sixth Brother."

Qin Xuan did not care about what she said at the moment, he only pursed his lips and thought. After a while, he looked at her and asked: "Can you draw Ye Man's portrait?"

Painting was not difficult for Liu Ruo Qing, and a simple drawing of a character was naturally not too difficult for her. Lowering her eyes to recall Ye Man's appearance, she nodded at Qin Xuan: "Alright, I'll try."

Her drawing speed was extremely fast, and in less than an hour, Ye Man's drawing was completed.

"His eyes …"

Qin Xuan watched as Liu Ruo Qing drew up the pictures one by one. The lines were smooth, and it was obvious that her drawing skills were not bad.

"That's right, his eyes are quite special. A pair of eyes only has eyeballs, not white."

"If he were to appear in the Easternum, it wouldn't be too hard to find these characteristics, especially those eyes …"

Qin Xuan said, while looking at Liu Ruo Qing, and said: "I gave this portrait to King Jing, if he were to ask me who gave it to me, what would I say?"

Hearing him ask that, Liu Ruo Qing's expression turned cold. After being silent for a few seconds, he looked at Qin Xuan and said: "This shouldn't be too hard on you, Your Highness."

Qin Xuan smirked, using a smile as an answer.

Because it was an emergency, after Qin Xuan got the portrait of the Great Witch from Liu Ruo Qing's place, he went to see him again on the second day.

This time, Liu Ruo Qing did not follow her. Yesterday, the look in Yan Yuan's eyes when she looked at her was always causing her to feel uneasy, as if he could recognize her at any time.

Even though he didn't speak to her often, the way he looked at her made her feel as if he could recognize her through the mask.

When Yan Yuan looked at Qin Xuan who was standing in front of him, he subconsciously looked for the Niu guard who came with him to King Jing Palace the day before.

When he realized that only Qin Xuan was coming over, a trace of disappointment flashed across his gloomy and deep eyes.

He furrowed his brows, irritated by the strange feeling he had felt earlier. He asked subconsciously, "Why is Prince Wei here alone today? Aren't he afraid of encountering some kind of killer?"

Qin Xuan was startled, when he saw the calm and unfathomable look on Yan Yuan's face, he instinctively thought of Liu Ruo Qing, and a light smile flashed past his eyes.

"The security of Jindu has always been good. I, Qin, am very at ease. This is the first time my two guards have been here, and they are very curious about the Jindu. I will let them go out and take a look to understand the local customs and customs of the Easternum."

After saying that, Qin Xuan deliberately paused, looked at Qin Xuan and joked: "Thank you Brother Yan for your concern for my safety."

Yan Yuan's expression did not change at all, but after hearing what Qin Xuan said, he nodded lightly to express his agreement.

"Brother Qin, why have you come today?"

"Oh, right."

"This is a portrait of Ye Man. This person had appeared in the Jindu a few months ago, Brother Yan can order people to use this portrait to find Ye Man."

Yan Yuan received the portrait in his hand, and just as Qin Xuan had expected, after looking at it, he asked: "Where did Brother Qin come from?"

"This is a friend of mine. It's just that my friend has an eccentric personality and does not like to be on good terms with others, so …" Brother Yan, please forgive me.

Yan Yuan never had much interest in someone who wasn't important in the first place, and since Qin Xuan had said so, he didn't ask anymore. He only shifted his gaze back to the painting, and faintly felt that the drawing was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

There were many familiar scenes flashing through his mind, but they were too fast for him to catch.
