Lin Ling did not agree immediately and asked instead, "Where are you going?"
Xing Jiuan's gaze was a little empty. "To find… someone."
"I'll go with you."
"Senior Sister, he doesn't like to see strangers," Xing Jiuan said softly.
"I can go alone. Can you just help me hide it from Senior Brother and the rest?
"Don't let Senior Brother know for at least half an hour."
"Can you guarantee your safety?"
"Don't worry, Senior Sister."
Lin Ling looked at Xing Jiuan seriously. No, it should be said that she was staring at her. Her gaze was especially complicated.
"Alright."
Xing Jiuan smiled. "Don't worry, Senior Sister. I'll be back soon."
Lin Ling went out to lure Mu Qing and the others away. Xing Jiuan took this opportunity to leave through the window.
Her house was on the third floor and not very high. Lin Ling was still quite assured regarding Xing Jiuan.
Furthermore, no one was passing by the window. No one would discover that she was going to jump off a building.
Xing Jiuan put on her mask and hat and did not drive. She quickly blended into the crowd.
She did not stop along the way. After walking quickly for a while, she waved at the roadside and hailed a car.
"Mister, I'm heading to the Cheng Nan suburbs."
The driver glanced at her, not understanding why someone would go to the Cheng Nan suburbs at this time.
That place was especially remote. Although there had been some changes recently, very few people went there.
However, it was a long journey from here to Cheng Nan. Even if he was curious, the driver did not ask further.
How was that more important than earning money?!
Xing Jiuan held her cell phone in her hand as she recalled how her master had told her not to go to Cheng Nan.
Lu Zhichen had also told her not to go to Cheng Nan.
However, she had to go this time.
She knew that there was someone important to her in Cheng Nan.
She owed that person her life.
She had a feeling that that person was there, waiting for her.
She had to go over.
She owed him her life. Even if she died because of him, she was willing to do so.
There was a traffic jam on the way. It took almost three hours before the car arrived at the place where Xing Jiuan wanted to go.
After Xing Jiuan paid, it was almost dusk.
"Young lady, it's getting dark. Very few people come here. Do you need me to wait for you here?" The driver was really a little worried about Xing Jiuan.
Looking at a very thin young lady who was about the same age as his daughter, he naturally cared a little.
"No need, Mister. Thank you." Xing Jiuan thanked him and turned to walk forward.
The driver sighed and drove away. Xing Jiuan walked forward slowly. She was not familiar with this place, but miraculously, she seemed to know where she was going. Step by step, she walked forward.
The sunset glow behind her seemed to have become a painting. The night was slightly dark, and the girl in black slowly melted into the darkness.
She walked into a small forest. It was empty all around, and the silence was a little scary.
Xing Jiuan did not seem to notice this at all. She seemed to be very bold as she walked in the empty and deep darkness without any fear.
She would even occasionally observe the direction. The occasional sound that the falling leaves or tree branches made was exceptionally creepy.
Xing Jiuan walked forward slowly as if she was being guided by something.. It made her keep walking forward without stopping.
