“Young Master Xia.”

Gu Yanfei reached out and gestured with a faint smile.

She didn’t seem to notice the old man with a long saber outside the pavilion, and was very at ease.

Young Master Xia sat down on a stone bench beside the stone table and looked at her face with interest, as if he was examining her, but also as if his mind had drifted away.

His frozen eyes were filled with indifference toward everything.

Without a word, he took out a plain handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped his long fingers in slow movements.

Gu Yanfei took a step closer to him and did not care about his disregard. “Xia Houqing, Young Master Xia Hou.”

When the girl smiled, her eyebrows flew up, and her bearing was clear. She had the brightness of a young girl, but there was also a hint of cunning and unrestrainedness.

Xia Houqing’s originally calm pupils finally rippled slightly.

He stopped wiping his fingers and glanced at Gu Yanfei with raised eyebrows.

It was not until this moment that Gu Yanfei’s face was reflected in his pupils.

The girl in front of him was not even 28 years old, and her face still had a hint of childishness. However, the calmness, ease, and carefreeness she exuded with every move was definitely not that of a young and ordinary girl.

The cold wind was still raging, the green bamboos by the pavilion were still emerald green, and their leaves were covered in a layer of snow, like jade leaves and branches. Occasionally, they swayed and rustled.

Gu Yanfei smiled slightly and met Xia Houqing’s deep eyes steadily.

She knew that she was now walking on a thin, suspended wire, and below her was a bottomless abyss.

One wrong step, and she could fall into the abyss and be beyond redemption.

However, the more she faced such a situation, the calmer she became.

She was a medical cultivator, and no one in the Bright Spirit Realm would be an enemy of medical cultivators. However, spirit beasts and demonic beasts were ferocious. If she wanted good medicinal herbs, she would definitely have to take risks. She had encountered countless dangers of all sizes and was already used to facing the danger of being targeted by demonic beasts.

“Young Master Xia Hou.” Gu Yanfei walked towards him and asked casually with a smile, “How long until Baili Yin arrives? How long do we have to talk?”

It was as if the two of them were old friends and were just catching up today.

Xia Houqing began to slowly wipe his fingers again, wiping each finger clean. Then, he casually threw away the still white handkerchief.

A male voice that sounded like a mountain stream and a bell floated from his lips. “It seems that you know a lot.”

He placed one hand on the stone table. The blood-red ring swirled with a strange, cold sheen in the light.

The young man’s smile was bright. In an instant, the scarlet air around him surged crazily. There was an indescribable madness and strangeness, which also added to his aura and made people not dare to look at him directly.

“Not much,” Gu Yanfei said frankly. She sat down leisurely on the stone bench opposite him and chatted leisurely, ignoring the oppressive pressure around him.

“This is the capital.” Gu Yanfei pointed at the oil lamp in the northeast corner of the stone table with an index finger and gently tapped the table in front of her. “This is the manor.”

“After leaving the capital, no matter which direction he’s headed, he won’t ‘pass by’ this manor.”

“Baili Yin must have come here to kill you, Young Master Xia Hou.”

“Young Master, you used yourself as bait. As long as you replace everyone in this village with your death warriors, you can silently take Baili Yin’s life.”

“In that case, no one will know that you did it. What others will see is that Baili Yin died in an ordinary farmstead in the suburbs of the capital.”

As she finished the last word, she slowly turned her gaze to Xia Houqing. The corners of her eyes were raised slightly, as if she was asking him—

Right?

Silence filled the pavilion.

In the distance, the ominous cawing of crows could be heard again, slightly altered by the sound of the snow.

“Pa! Pa!”

After a moment, a gentle and slow clap sounded.

Xia Houqing looked at Gu Yanfei, who was less than three feet away from him. He raised his hand and clapped lightly, confirming her guess.

He smiled, as if he couldn’t stop it for a long time. The light cast a faint gold light on his long, curved eyelashes.

His smile was beautiful, but there was an unexplained dangerous chill in the snowy night.

Gu Yanfei was also smiling comfortably. She casually stroked her hair that was messed up by the wind and said bluntly, “Young Master Xia Hou, are you trying to use Baili Yin’s death to ‘divert misfortune’ and cause another dispute between the Great Jin and the State of Yue so that you can benefit from it?”
