Chapter 2946 - 2947: Flights of Fancy

Chapter 2946: Chapter 2947: Flights of Fancy

Because Nai Yingying’s looks are just too likely to cause misunderstandings.

Especially when she looped her arm through Xue An’s, she was even more like a little kid.

And everyone had heard what she said just now.

Stuff like suddenly getting up, still not having rested enough...

Just listening to that was enough to send people’s minds wandering.

Lei Boping shot Xue An a deep look.

Really didn’t expect it—he looks all righteous and proper, but behind the facade he plays this wild, huh.

Though...so damn jealous!

When will I get myself such a tender little girl, huh? Lei Boping secretly started drooling.

Xue An naturally picked up on the odd meanings in Lei Boping and the others’ gazes, but by now it was too late to explain.

Besides, Xue An couldn’t be bothered to explain to these people. As long as his conscience was clear, what others thought was their business, nothing to do with him.

At this moment Wu Shaobei and the others also rushed over, and when he saw Nai Yingying clinging intimately to Xue An’s arm, Wu Shaobei’s pupils shrank.

So his guess had been right after all.

This woman really did have quite the relationship with Xue An.

Good thing he hadn’t offended this woman before!

Wu Shaobei was secretly rejoicing.

Over on this side, seeing so many people arrive, Lei Boping was afraid the situation would blow up and draw unnecessary attention. After all, Shen Hao had made it clear: under no circumstances were they to alarm the Valley Master.

So he hurriedly cleared his throat.

"Ahem, looks like I really did get it wrong. I’ll be taking my leave!"

With that, Lei Boping led his people away.

Wu Shaobei and the others looked at one another, and right then they heard Xue An say calmly, "Alright, go back and rest."

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed.

Shu Jingchu gave Nai Yingying, who was still clutching Xue An’s arm and refusing to let go, a long look, then turned and left as well.

Very soon, in the vast night, only Xue An and Nai Yingying were left.

Even so, Nai Yingying still nestled intimately against Xue An’s arm, with no intention of letting go at all.

Xue An frowned. "Everyone’s gone. Still not letting go?"

"Heehee, what’s wrong with hugging a bit longer? Don’t tell me you really mind me that much?"

Xue An nodded. "You guessed right."

Nai Yingying’s face turned sorrowful. "I help you with all good intentions, and then you burn the bridge after crossing the river, and even嫌弃 me. You really are heartless!"

Her voice was soft and sticky-sweet, and combined with that twin-tailed loli image of hers, it could definitely trigger the protective instincts of most men.

Unfortunately, Xue An was not among those men. He remained completely unmoved and instead said coolly,

"Do you really think these little tricks of yours are that tempting?"

Nai Yingying pouted. "You’re being fierce to me again!"

Xue An let out a cold laugh, suddenly leaned down, and murmured in Nai Yingying’s ear, "Believe it or not, if you dare talk like that again, the very next second I’ll show you what pain really means."

Nai Yingying’s smile did not change, only her eyes suddenly turned pitch-black.

"Did I do something wrong? Why aren’t you moved at all?" Nai Yingying said lightly.

"Very simple. No matter how cleverly you disguise yourself, in my eyes you’re nothing but a wicked thing," Xue An said bluntly.

The smile on Nai Yingying’s face quickly faded, and then she let go of his arm.

"You and I are merely partners based on a shared goal, so I hope you’ll weigh your place properly. Especially tricks like this—you’d best not let me see them again. Understood?"

Nai Yingying nodded. "Understood."

"Good. I hope our future cooperation will go smoothly, and not be full of your fake yandere act."

With that, Xue An turned and left.

His impression of this Nai Yingying was not good.

Especially after what happened tonight, he’d grown even more alert.

No matter how well this Nai Yingying disguised herself, in essence she was still a wicked thing.

And since she was a wicked thing, she was destined not to be judged and understood from a human perspective.

So no matter how much Nai Yingying performed afterward, Xue An would only watch with cold eyes, completely unmoved.

Hopefully this matter would make her rein herself in a bit!

That was Xue An’s final thought, but he never imagined that the moment he turned to leave, a strange smile would once again appear on Nai Yingying’s face.

"Yandere, huh...you really did nail that description."

"But you don’t know—this isn’t something I’m acting, you know."

By the end, Nai Yingying licked her lips, black light flashing in her eyes, enough to make one’s skin crawl.

The night passed just like that.

At daybreak the next morning, Shen Hao led his people to the reception hall.

Wu Shaobei and the others were naturally already awake.

Shen Hao’s face was full of smiles, as if last night’s disturbance had never happened at all.

"Did everyone rest well?"

When it came to these hypocritical courtesies, Wu Shaobei, as the Wu Family’s second-in-command, was of course very practiced. He immediately laughed and said,

"Rested simply wonderfully!"

"Good. In that case, let’s set off. The Valley Master has already received word. When he heard that you, Second Master Wu, were personally coming, he was quite pleased and asked me to bring you over."

"Alright!"

The group followed Shen Hao and flew toward the depths of Senluo Valley.

From the outside, Senluo Valley didn’t look large, but in reality the inside was a world of its own.

The group flew for a full quarter of an hour before they finally passed through the dense chaotic stone fields and reached the true core of Senluo Valley.

This was an extremely vast plateau, with the mountains on both sides sinking inward.

It felt as if two great mountains had turned into a pair of giant hands, cradling this plateau in their palms.

On top of the plateau stood an exceedingly magnificent palace.

Once they arrived at the palace gate, the group all stopped.

It wasn’t Wu Shaobei’s first time here, so he appeared relatively calm.

Shu Jingchu and Jin Shanquan, however, were full of amazement.

Only when one got close could one truly feel the grand, imposing presence of this palace.

Seeing the expressions on the two of their faces, Shen Hao couldn’t help feeling a bit smug.

But when he saw Xue An, that smugness slowly faded.

Because he couldn’t read any joy or anger on this young man’s face.

He was as calm as a block of ice, giving off faint threads of chill.

And standing beside him, Nai Yingying’s twin ponytails swayed back and forth, yet there wasn’t the slightest hint of surprise on her face either.

A trace of doubt rose in Shen Hao’s heart.

Lei Boping had already reported last night’s events to him.

At the time, he had also found this Xue An highly suspicious.

But since he couldn’t produce any solid evidence, he could only let it slide.

And judging from today’s performance, Xue An was clearly no ordinary person.

So why had such an outstanding young man been so unknown before?

But these doubts all vanished when he saw Yi Guyun standing at the gate to welcome them.

Either way, since the Wu Family planned to use this young man to show off, then today they absolutely had to crush this display of arrogance.
