183 Covering the Sky
“Now, in the State of Yue, Xia Houqing can cover the sky with one hand. Although Baili Zhao is the Crown Prince, he is also suppressed by him. Even the Sage of the State of Yue has to fear him.”
“Only by getting rid of Xia Houqing can Baili Zhao completely sit firmly on his throne.”
“Xia Houqing clearly knows this very well. That’s why he used himself as bait to lure Baili Yin into giving it his all.”
Chu Yi did not lower his voice. Even Gu Yuan, who was behind him, heard him clearly.
!!
The image of the young man who was as demonic as blood appeared in Gu Yuan’s mind. His eyes gradually darkened as he thought to himself, ‘Xia Houqing is too ruthless and vicious. Even if he doesn’t slaughter the village, he can still achieve his goal. However, in order to save time, he didn’t hesitate to sacrifice hundreds of lives in the village…’
This person really lived up to his reputation and could not be underestimated!
“Rustle…”
The shadows of the trees swayed with the wind. The snow that had stopped for a moment began to fall sporadically again, fluttering.
A snowflake happened to land, making Gu Yuan’s nose itch slightly.
Afraid that his sister would catch a cold from the snow, Gu Yuan took off his cloak and planned to put it on her. However, just as he untied the tether of the cloak, he saw that Chu Yi had already taken a bamboo-moon-colored tung oil umbrella from Si Hai and held it above him and Gu Yanfei.
The huge umbrella tilted slightly in Gu Yanfei’s direction, and a few snowflakes landed on Chu Yi’s shoulder.
Gu Yanfei was tightly enveloped under the umbrella.
The slender girl looked especially petite against the young man beside her.
I’ve been beaten to it again!! This thought clearly appeared in Gu Yuan’s heart. He felt that something was wrong.
Gu Yanfei stroked her chin thoughtfully and muttered, “Young Master Xia Hou shouldn’t have come just for Baili Yin, right?”
A figure who could do whatever he wanted in the State of Yue had “sung” for so long in the capital’s opera house. It was really a waste of talent for a mere Baili Yin.
Gu Yuan looked back and forth between the two of them and felt that he was a little redundant. He opened his mouth to show his presence and asked, “Sister, how did you know that person was Xia Houqing?”
“I calculated it,” Gu Yanfei said with a smile. It seemed real but also fake. There was a hint of cunning, teasing, and pride in her expression. “I just counted with my fingers…”
She casually raised her right hand. She originally only wanted to make an orchid gesture, but her chest tightened. The blood that she had painstakingly suppressed could no longer be suppressed, and churned like a sea inside her body.
Her legs gave way and she stumbled a little. She lost her balance and fell forward, her thick black hair cascading down like a waterfall…
She was telling the truth. She had indeed calculated Xia Houqing’s identity.
The other party had come menacingly tonight with a group of death warriors. Since she knew nothing about him, she could not negotiate.
Unfortunately, this matter also involved her own life and death. Being in a situation, it was even more difficult to deduce a way to break out of it.
She tried repeatedly and risked losing a few years of her lifespan to finally calculate a hint.
A beauty was born from fire; a blood-robed Asura was bathed in blood.
This was certainly not enough. Fortunately, she knew that the other party was from the State of Yue.
To avoid fire, she began another divination…
She used all kinds of clues to divine. It took her 49 divinations to figure out the name “Xia Houqing”.
If not for the fact that Xia Houqing was only a mortal, she would not have been able to do it now.
Gu Yanfei felt a faint metallic taste in her throat. Because she was exhausted, her vision was a little blurry, as if it was covered by a thin veil.
“Be careful!”
“Sister!”
Two concerned male voices sounded at the same time.
Gu Yanfei only fell a little when she felt something tighten around her waist. Chu Yi’s left arm was firmly across her waist, supporting her.
Gu Yuan looked at his hand that had missed because he was a step slower.
“Are you alright?” Chu Yi looked down at Gu Yanfei and asked gently.
His dark eyes were as deep as the night sky and as clear as the lake, clearly reflecting her shadow.
The dark red mole at the end of his eye made his gentle and beautiful eyebrows look more charming.
“I’m fine.” Gu Yanfei grabbed a parasol tree beside her with one hand and stabilized herself. Her cherry lips were slightly pale, but her eyes were still bright and spirited.
Gu Yuan was still worried. He frowned and raised his hand to test Gu Yanfei’s forehead temperature when he heard Chu Yi instruct, “Go get a sedan chair.”
“There should be a sedan chair inside,” Juan Bi added, immediately running in the direction of the main courtyard.
The ground was covered in snow and muddy and slippery. She was distracted and almost slipped.
Gu Yuan looked at Juan Bi in disdain. He felt that she was unreliable no matter how he looked at her, so he decided to go himself. He quickly said, “Sister, wait for me here!”
Gu Yuan walked quickly and caught up to Juan Bi in two to three steps.
Looking at her eldest brother’s energetic back, Gu Yanfei chuckled brightly.
The haze that lingered in her heart after seeing Granny Pang completely dissipated with this smile.
Her Big Brother was still very good. He was not delinquent, not depressed, and not infected with smallpox…
Facing the night wind, Gu Yanfei’s smile deepened.
She had always been nonchalant and did whatever was comfortable. At first, she rested her hand on the tree trunk. Later, she simply leaned lazily against the tree trunk beside her and looked up at the night sky with her chin slightly raised.
In the vast night sky, snowflakes slowly fell sporadically, dancing like white pear petals.
It was quiet and peaceful, ethereal and eternal.
This calamity was over!
The corners of Gu Yanfei’s lips curled up slightly, and a handsome curve appeared on her chin.
Gu Yanfei was looking at the night sky while Chu Yi was looking at her.
