Chapter 56: Third Master Qin Sleeps on the Sofa

Chapter 56

Qin Hanyue: "Adults can drink alcohol. Miss Qiao likes these drinks and can drink as much as she wants. Just be mindful of your health and drink in moderation."

His gentlemanly behavior made her seem self-absorbed.

Rumors say Master Qin never associates with women intimately. Is he keeping himself pure or are his standards too high? Or maybe...he has some unspeakable affliction?

Thinking of this, Qiao Ying's eyes roamed over the man's superior face, lingering on it more than necessary. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

If he really had some affliction, it would be such a waste.

But looking at his healthy complexion and robust constitution, it doesn't seem likely.

Could it be congenital? Then it's hard to say.

Qin Hanyue noticed the girl's gaze, and saw a hint of pity flash through her eyes as she looked at him, as if she was about to shake her head.

He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm going to take a bath," Qiao Ying got up from the sofa, grabbing her clothes. "Thank you for lending me your clothes, Mr. Qin."

Then she went into the bedroom.

The top floor of the hotel was calm and tranquil.

But a storm was brewing on the lower levels.

More and more men were infiltrating the massive hotel.

Fortunately Qin Yan had brought enough people at the start, securing the top level tightly. The reinforcements had also arrived outside the hotel, systematically controlling the perimeter.

The men lurking in the shadows were itching to make a move, but some scouts came back with troubling news: "Don't act rashly yet."

Sure enough, their partners stationed outside soon relayed a message: "God's Army is here. Tell our brothers to stand down."

"God's Army? Why are their people here?"

After spending half the day in the desert, Qiao Ying felt refreshed from her bath.

But her good mood only lasted less than a minute. Looking down at her chest after getting dressed, Qiao Ying was momentarily speechless.

Well now, the size fit her perfectly, even better than what she bought herself.

When Qin Hanyue subtly sized her up while offering to buy her clothes, it did not escape Qiao Ying's notice.

That man's eyes were too dangerous!

Qiao Ying gritted her teeth secretly.

The man was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, having changed into fresh clothes. With his legs crossed elegantly, he looked every bit the gentleman as he browsed his phone.

Qiao Ying came out of the bathroom.

"Do the clothes fit well, Miss Qiao? Do you like them?" Qin Hanyue looked up at her.

"They fit very well, I like them!" Qiao Ying replied.

Qin Hanyue thought he detected a frosty tone in her words. He looked puzzledly at the clothes on Qiao Ying.

Could she not like them after all?

"You flatter me, Miss Qiao."

Bai Xiao messaged her asking where she was and if she was safe.

Bai Xiao, who was still at the Gladiator Arena, told Qiao Ying that they'd heard from some people about the Hurricane Mercenary Group's plan to target them.

He was worried for Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying leisurely typed her reply: [Hurricane's people are downstairs from me]

Bai Xiao was shocked for a moment, and was about to gather everyone to go find Qiao Ying, when she sent another message: [Don't worry, I have people here]

To the Hurricane Mercenary Group, Bai Xiao and the others were negligible. Their target was her, who had great potential to help the Blackwater Mercenary Group regain its former glory.

So Qiao Ying was not worried about Bai Xiao and the rest.

"Miss Qiao, I'm turning off the lights."

Qiao Ying didn't look at Qin Hanyue, just vocalized in acknowledgement.

Click. The room was plunged into darkness.

Qin Hanyue lay on the sofa, a thin blanket covering his waist. He stared at the ceiling and said, "Miss Qiao is quite bold to travel in M Continent alone. Aren't your family worried?"

"I'm just here on vacation. Mr. Qin is the one here on business, which should be more dangerous than a worthless commoner like me. Is your family worried?"

Trying to get her to open up really wasn't easy.

Qin Hanyue decided to mimic her evasive style. "Business is war. Everywhere has its dangers."

"I'm a light sleeper. Mr. Qin doesn't snore or grind his teeth in his sleep, does he?"

Qin Hanyue was resigned at her abrupt topic change. "No snoring, teeth grinding, sleep talking or sleepwalking. Miss Qiao can rest assured."

"Is that so? Can't say the same for me. Don't blame me if I disturb your sleep, Mr. Qin." She seemed upset at his repeated attempts to draw her out.

Qin Hanyue laughed silently. "No problem."

After that, the room became silent.

As a former assassin, Qiao Ying had always been a lone wolf. Let alone sleeping beside someone, even having a cat in the room would make her uneasy.

Only a corpse was absolutely safe.

Moreover, the one she was sharing a room with this time was the legendary Master Qin.

It would be impossible not to feel unsettled.

Qiao Ying tossed and turned, straining to hear any noise from the sofa. All she caught was light breathing.

In the dead of the night,

Soft footsteps brushed past the sofa,

A figure slipped out of the bedroom, gently shutting the door.

The man on the sofa silently opened his eyes.

A pair of dark pupils shone bright and deep in the darkness.
