Chapter 232: The Figure in the Room (2)

Bai Li was a little hesitant.

Bai Jingyuan said in understanding, “Only this once. In the future, your master will only be Little Yu. Without Little Yu’s consent, you don’t have to answer my and the others’ questions.”

Hence, Bai Li explained everything he had learned these days in detail.

The more Bai Jingyuan listened, the more alarmed he became. Since the time at the Buddha Temple, no, perhaps even earlier, Xie Xingyun had liked Xiaoyu.

How did Little Yu do it? Other than going to school, she seemed to have very little interaction with Xie Xingyun.

Bai Li said, “But in my opinion, Miss is probably not interested in Lord Xie.”

Bai Jingyuan nodded. “You may leave.”

“Yes.”

Xie Xingyun looked indeed more mature than his peers and was deserving of the Emperor’s comment that he “would be of great use”, yet Little Yu did not even mention a word to him and the other brothers. If she marries him, the Eldest Princess Jing An is not someone to be trifled with.

After watching Bai Xianyu play chess, Xie Xingyun went back to have his meal. After eating, he saw that the iron chain between the two ships had been cut.

With the rapids, he could only cross the water in a small boat.

He did not hesitate and asked Xiao Zheng to bring a small boat over.

It was the rainy season in Liang Province. The further down the river they went, the darker the sky became, and the more abundant the rain.

Even though they had not reached the Jiangnan area, it was already rare to see a sunny day.

At this moment, it was raining heavily. Xiao Zheng found a big umbrella.

Xie Xingyun stood on the boat while Xiao Zheng stood behind him holding an umbrella. When they got on the deck, their robes were wet from the rain coming in from the sides.

Bai Jingyuan looked down at the two of them, retracted his hand from the railing, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Bai Xianyu decided to embroider the brocade pouch for Xie Xingyun as soon as possible. As there were only a few Flametail Fish left to embroider, she also brought it over.

After Green Pearl helped her take her bath, she returned to her room.

The shadow of the lamp swayed. Her hand holding the needle was a little unstable. It seemed that the waves outside were about to reach the sky.

After placing two stitches, Bai Xianyu gradually got better at it.

Until there was a loud bang!

Her hand tilted and the needle went through the void.

Bai Xianyu walked to the window. Lightning stretched out like a purple snake coiled in the sky. Every time it swung its tail, it was deafening, as if it wanted to tear the ship apart.

Even the big ship was unstable. It was being thrown up and down high!

The bottom of the ship was hit by the violent waves and rattled with a burst, as if it would be split from the middle in the next second.

Bai Xianyu stood and looked out of the window. The evil waves seemed to have hit the soles of her shoes.

Thinking of the unknown fear of the depths of the water, she was a little afraid. If she closed the windows around her, she might not be so afraid if she could not see.

When she closed the window facing Xie Xingyun, she glanced in his direction. The window was closed, and they were already very far away from their ship.

When she looked again, the iron chain had already disappeared.

Bai Xianyu did not think too much about it and closed the window.

The window, which could not be closed in time, was already spattered with rain. The candle had been doused. She tried to light it, but failed.

Bai Xianyu wanted to wake Green Pearl up, but the thought of passing through an empty corridor made her feel afraid.

She even felt that her back was cool when she walked in this dark room.

Suddenly, a red flame ignited.

Fortunately, she still had two candles to use.

Bai Xianyu heaved a small sigh of relief. She placed the candle on the chair and moved it to the side of the bed.

Thunder and lightning were flying.

Bai Xianyu dreamed of something terrifying. The gloomy dampness and darkness always brought back memories of something unpleasant.

She frowned tightly and turned around. Her forehead was covered in sweat.

Finally, when a bolt of lightning struck, her body trembled and she opened her eyes.

When Bai Xianyu realized that it was a dream, her body relaxed.

But just as she was about to turn over, her eyes had already adapted to the darkness and she saw a black shadow!

Bai Xianyu’s hair stood on end.

Why was there a black shadow in her room?!

And it was a human!

She did not even dare to swallow her saliva. She quietly curled up under the blanket, closed her eyes, and silently chanted the Heart Cleansing Spell. Then, she tentatively opened her eyes a little.

At this moment, the most terrifying thing came—

The position of the shadow had actually changed!

Bai Xianyu almost wanted to scream, but she endured it. The two candles in front of her had also burned out, and the room was pitch-black.

It was also terrifyingly quiet.

For a moment, all kinds of demons and ghosts appeared in her mind.

‘Don’t scare yourself. It should be the shadow of a chair or something.’

She comforted herself in her heart.

Hence, Bai Xianyu opened her eyes and looked at that spot for a while. She could not see what it was, but she was sure that it was not from her room.

It was not something from her room.

Bai Xianyu felt a chill run down her spine. At this moment, the black shadow seemed to move again.

If he was an assassin, he would not have been silent for so long and would not have stayed in one place.

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She was not wearing shoes. Her fair feet stepped on the deck of the boat without making a sound.

The person sitting beside the pillar was Xie Xingyun.

She winced.

How did Xie Xingyun come here? His ship was obviously still very far away.

Such huge waves… Bai Xianyu looked down and saw that the rainwater flowing down his robe was almost reaching her feet.

He closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

Bai Xianyu took a few steps back and sat on the couch again.

However, she did not lie down and continue sleeping. Instead, she stared at the man for a long time with hesitation on her face.

Xie Xingyun would catch a cold like this.

Why was he here?

At this moment, another bolt of lightning split the air.

A thought suddenly occurred to Bai Xianyu.

Was he here to accompany her because he was worried that she would be afraid?
