Chapter 141: Inquiring About Her

The alley was silent.

Other than the two of them, there was no one else.

Qin Yuemo held the whip that was swinging strangely like a snake. Her eyes were filled with cold killing intent as she walked into the alley step by step.

Luo Qingzhou clenched the candied hawthorn in his hand and slowly retreated.

Slap!

There was the sound of a whip!

It was especially ear-piercing in the quiet alley.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt his soul tremble, but it did not affect him at all.

Without any hesitation, he turned and ran.

Qin Yuemo was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening with surprise.

Although her whip had struck the air just now, it could shock one’s soul and make one instantly lose their mind.

Even the martial artists from the Black Forest were no exception. All of their souls were stunned by her move.

However, this person actually turned around and ran without stopping just now.

“As expected, he’s quite capable. No wonder he dared follow me and wanted to rob me of my money and rape me.”

Qin Yuemo snorted and did not chase after him. She put away her whip and turned to leave the alley.

Such a small fry was not worth her wasting her energy chasing after.

Back in the residence.

She entered the backyard and the maidservants respectfully avoided her along the way.

She took a shower in the house and changed into clean clothes.

She went out to look for her delicate and frail cousin. She wanted to listen to her stories and the poems she recited.

At the same time, she wanted to choose a name for her alias tomorrow from her cousin’s stories and poems.

A new name every day. Cool!

Luo Qingzhou took a detour and turned into the alley behind the Qin residence.

Seeing that there was no one in the alley, he took off his mask.

That girl was at the Bone Refinement Realm, and the whip in her hand looked extraordinary. It was very likely a legendary magical artifact.

He was definitely not her match.

Most importantly, the other party’s name was Qin Yuemo.

The name of the poem’s composer he had written on the pleasure boat that night was Yuemo.

Song Ruyue and Qin Weimo.

According to the silver-haired woman, the girl’s name was Song Meijiao.

Her surname was Song, and her name was Meijiao.

If he remembered correctly, the day after the wedding night, when he first saw First Young Miss Qin by the lake in Moonlight Rain Court, Bai Ling had deliberately lied to him and said that First Young Miss Qin was called… Nangong Meijiao.

Because this name was rare, he had a deep impression of it.

Now that he thought about it, the names Qin Yuemo and Song Meijiao were both related to the people in the Qin residence.

In other words, it was very likely that the other party was from the Qin residence or had some kind of relationship with the Qin residence.

He had been in the Qin residence for so long, but he had never seen that girl.

However…

Xiao Die had once said that when she was chatting with those maidservants, she learned that there was an important guest from the capital staying in the Qin residence.

Coincidentally, it was said that the esteemed guest would go out of the city to hunt.

Back then, when he heard Xiao Die say this, he thought that the other party was a man and would often go out of the city to hunt ordinary wild beasts.

But now that he thought about it, it was very likely that the esteemed guest from the capital was that girl just now.

The so-called going out of the city to hunt might be to do a mission to hunt demon beasts!

Otherwise, why would she also be staying here?

Luo Qingzhou pondered over it as he walked into the residence.

He decided to ask Bai Ling tonight.

If Bai Ling did not know, he would ask Second Young Miss Qin.

Second Young Miss Qin would definitely know.

When he returned to the small courtyard, Xiao Die was warming the dishes in the kitchen. When she saw him return, she hurriedly said, “Young Master, the dishes get cold very quickly. Wait a moment, I’ll be done heating them soon.”

Luo Qingzhou wanted to go over and hug her, but he remembered that he had killed someone today and had yet to shower, so he could only give up on that notion.

He placed the candied hawthorn into the little girl’s room.

After dinner.

The master and servant took their clothing and took advantage of the night to take a shower in the lake under the moonlight.

Taking a bath in the warm lake in this weather was definitely more comfortable than taking a bath in the house.

The two of them stripped naked and went into the water.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her snow-white and delicate body and could not help but recall the embarrassing incident that night.

He wondered if Bai Ling would still come here to take a bath in the wee hours of the morning every day.

He was tempted and thought to himself, “Why don’t I come and take a look tonight?’

That girl was not anyone else. He did not have any psychological burden if he peeped at her while she was bathing.

If the other party did not resist, he would even dare to go into the water with her and…

In the sky, snowflakes were still falling silently.

After taking a shower, the master and servant returned to the small courtyard.

After Luo Qingzhou changed into a clean set of clothes, he went to the Ling Chan Moon Palace first.

Bai Ling was waiting for him at the door.

Today, she was not holding a flower. Her fingers curled around her hair as she leaned against the door frame in a daze.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her graceful figure and walked over.

“What are you thinking about?”

When he got close, Bai Ling was still in a daze.

The moment he spoke, she got so spooked that she trembled. Bai Ling pouted and scowled at him. “Sir, you scared me.”

“What are you thinking about?”

Luo Qingzhou asked, “You seem so focused. Are you thinking about someone you like?”

Bai Ling snorted and entered the house. “I’m not telling you.”

Luo Qingzhou followed behind her and said, “Is Miss Xia Chan all right? Is she sick today?”

Bai Ling suddenly stopped and looked at him. “Sir, tell me honestly, how did you bully Chanchan last night? Chanchan was distracted today. I’m certain that she has been bullied last night.”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and explained, “Last night, the city gate was closed. We didn’t have anywhere to go, so we hid under the bridge in a cave to avoid the rain. Perhaps, she was frightened of the thunder, or she didn’t sleep well last night, or she might have been drenched in the rain. She’s so powerful. How can I bully her?”

Bai Ling was silent for a while before saying, “Chanchan is indeed afraid of lightning. When she was young… Forget it. Sir, don’t bully Chanchan. When I talk about bullying now, I’m not talking about that other kind of bullying.”

“What kind?”

Bai Ling did not say anything else and walked toward the back garden.

When she reached the passageway at the side, Luo Qingzhou suddenly grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, “Bai Ling, I have something to ask you.”

Bai Ling froze on the spot and paused for a moment. She turned around and looked at him. “Sir, men and women shouldn’t have bodily contact. You can’t hold my hand or call me by my name alone.”

“Oh. ”

Luo Qingzhou nodded. He still held her hand and called her name. “Bai Ling, I want to ask you something.”

Bai Ling lowered her head slightly and looked at their joined hands. Her voice became gentle. “Okay, go ahead and ask.”

Luo Qingzhou asked, “Is there a distinguished guest from the capital in our residence?”

Bai Ling froze. She looked up at him and countered, “Sir, why are you asking

Luo Qingzhou said, “Answer me.”

Bai Ling hesitated for a moment.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly bent down and leaned close to kiss her cheek. “Is there or is there not?”

Bai Ling nodded obediently. “Yes, that person has been here for a few months and came before you entered the residence.”

Luo Qingzhou asked again, “Is that person a man or a woman? How old is that person? Is the guest alone or with others? How many are they?” Bai Ling said, “Umm..

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and kissed her lips. “Speak.”

Bai Ling replied, “It’s a woman. She’s very young. She’s alone and has a few maidservants.”

Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s her name? What does she look like?”

Bai Ling immediately shook her head and said, “Sir, I can’t say that.”

Luo Qingzhou stared at her for a while before suddenly lowering his head and kissing her neck. “Can you say it now?”

Bai Ling lowered her head shyly and blushed. “I don’t know her name either. I only know that she’s quite beautiful. I’ve never seen her before.” Luo Qingzhou said, “Be more specific about how beautiful she is.”

Bai Ling did not say anything else.

Luo Qingzhou’s gaze traveled down her neck. Just as he was about to lower his head and kiss her again, Bai Ling hurriedly covered his mouth and said, “Sir, I really don’t know. I swear.”

Luo Qingzhou said, “Then who knows?”

Bai Ling lowered her head and stopped talking.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her for a while before opening his arms and gently hugging her slender waist. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

After a while, he let go and looked at her quietly.

Bai Ling’s eyes were in a blurry daze, and her face was red. Her chest heaved as she said, “Ma-Madam, and Second Young Miss…”

Luo Qingzhou thought to himself, “As expected, I still have to look for the

Second Young Miss.”

He reached out and pinched her nose gently. His gaze was gentle as he said softly, “Thank you, Bai Ling.”

With that, he let go of her and went to the back garden.

Bai Ling was rooted to the spot with a dazed look on her face.

The pavilion by the pond was empty tonight. There was no sign of First Young Miss Qin.

However, a cold figure was standing under the plum blossom tree at the side, looking at him coldly.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and did not avoid her gaze. He stared straight into her eyes and asked, “Miss Xia Chan, why are you standing here alone? Where is your young miss?”

The girl turned her face away and ignored him.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her thin figure in the snow and could not help but recall the scene of the two of them snuggling up to each other at the bottom of the bridge last night. He hesitated for a moment before walking over and saying softly, “You were in the rain last night and the cold wind blew all night. Your Young Miss isn’t here either. Why are you still guarding here? Go in.”

Judging from their interaction last night, Luo Qingzhou realized that this girl was not the kind of person who was cold and unapproachable.

Moreover, after the two of them spent the night together, he felt that they had gotten much closer.

People would only lower their guard when they were at their most vulnerable.

He had seen her vulnerability last night. Therefore, he was no longer that afraid of her.

“Come on. Let’s go in.”

Seeing that she was still ignoring him, Luo Qingzhou mustered his courage and reached out to hold her wrist.

He had even touched her feet last night. So what if he held her hand tonight?

Would she kill him? No, she would not.

The girl suddenly turned to look at him, her eyes cold.

Luo Qingzhou turned around and pretended not to see her gaze. He held her wrist and forcefully pulled her into the house.

The girl followed behind him step by step. In the end, she did not resist, nor did she draw her sword.

Bai Ling watched from the entrance of the garden and smiled.

Luo Qingzhou pulled the cold girl into the room and stood at the door. “Rest well. You have a cold physique, so don’t go out in the snow. The wind is cold.”

After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Well… if it’s convenient for you, you can actually go to the lake often to soak in it. The water there is warm all year round. If you go to soak in it often, it might help you get rid of some of the cold in your body.”

With that, he did not stay any longer. He closed the door for her and turned to leave.

The moment the door closed, the girl standing in the darkness suddenly muttered, “Will you be… going too?”

She was afraid of water.

She was afraid of even the shallowest water.

However, as long as he was in the water, she would not be afraid.

She wanted to go down… with him.

Just like that night when she fell into the water and he hugged her.. That way…
