Ch 298: This Man Is Strong

「 The main hall was profoundly deep, without even a lamp lit, it was empty, not knowing how much was inside!

「 The hall door opened with a heavy sound, almost making people fear, coupled with the wind blowing the curtains, which grimly made people’s hearts tremble. Ning Qingshan was also afraid, but still braced herself and walked into the door, Caifen was left at the door.

「 The hall door, according to the instructions, was closed heavily.

“Is… is anyone there?” Ning Qingshan’s hand tightly clutched the handkerchief in her hand, stopped her body, once the door closed, the surroundings were dark, and in the darkness, she couldn’t see her fingers.

“Afraid?” The floating voice seemed to come from all directions, but it could still be heard that it was a man’s voice. This voice was a bit eerie, but now it made Ning Qingshan feel at peace.

“My identity may have been discovered.” She steadied her mind, and calmly said. In the past, the person who associated with Nurse Luo was a woman, also very mysterious and unseen. Often, whatever matters, she would directly instruct Nurse Luo, and then Nurse Luo would relay it to Ning Qingshan, but Ning Qingshan knew that the woman had a master, and the master behind her should be a man, could it be this one in front of her?

“So, you’re looking for me?” The floating voice came again, actually in this floating sound, it could still let people hear a kind of mocking surprise.

“Didn’t you say that if there was an urgent matter, I could directly find you! This time it’s really urgent.” Ning Qingshan steadied her mind and said in a wronged tone.

If she had an urgent matter and wanted to find that woman, she must first release that pigeon, and before she went out today, the pigeon had been released, indicating that she was going to Hanshan Temple, hoping to meet there, and to discuss important matters. Previously, when she was in her own side room, a note was thrown into the window, which was to have her come to this Buddha Hall to meet at this time.

Unexpectedly, the one who came this time was not that woman, and it was also possible that it was the master behind that woman. Thinking of this, Ning Qingshan’s mood couldn’t help but be a burst of excitement.

“Speak, who discovered your identity.” The floating voice was faint and cold, it didn’t sound like it was very interested.

“Ning Xueyan, Fifth Miss Ning Xueyan of the Duke’s Mansion, she discovered my identity, please be sure to handle her, so that I don’t expose my identity and ruin your important matters.”

Ning Qingshan said through gritted teeth, she really hated Ning Xueyan to death, feeling that everything was ruined in her hands. Since she met Ning Xueyan, she had never had a smooth time, everything was at a disadvantage, almost being strangled by Ning Xueyan, she originally thought she could, with her own strength, deal with Ning Xueyan, but unexpectedly, it also made Ning Zuan suspicious.

Ning Qingshan knew her own affairs, she had a lot of secrets, how dare she let others investigate, but she felt that compared to Ning Zuan’s investigation, she hated Ning Xueyan even more, the reason why Ning Zuan was suspicious of herself, wasn’t it because of Ning Xueyan, so, she wanted Ning Xueyan’s life, she wanted her to die!

In order to prevent that person from refusing, she intentionally used some threatening words, meaning that if Ning Xueyan was not killed, her identity would be exposed, and he wouldn’t benefit either, although she didn’t know what this was for, but his protection of her, she could still feel, since it was protection, she must be very important, very weighty, so she said these words.

】 “Pa” A hand reached out from the darkness, and fiercely hit Ning Qingshan’s face, making her body turn a direction, and heavily fall to the ground, the corner of her mouth immediately felt a burning pain, and a warmth flowed from the corner of her mouth, Ning Qingshan was shocked and in pain, she subconsciously reached out and covered her face.

】 “Do you really think I can’t do without you? Do you really think I must protect you? Believe it or not, I will kill you now!” The cold voice came from the floating voice, penetrating into Ning Qingshan’s skin, letting her instantly perceive the strong killing intent, this person, wasn’t he always protecting her? Why so brutal all of a sudden.

“I… I’m not, I’m afraid others will know…” Fear flashed in her eyes, and her words involuntarily softened.

Ning Qingshan was really afraid, in her heart, the positioning of this person had always been protecting her, so when she heard his voice, she wasn’t afraid, but this time she was truly afraid.

This was a person who could not be fathomed, could not be inferred by common sense, and could not be controlled.

】 “Humph, be careful yourself, if others find out your true identity, maybe I will really…” The warning voice did not carry a trace of emotion, a hand stroked Ning Qingshan’s swollen face that had been beaten, in the darkness, it seemed there was a deep cold light on Ning Qingshan, the hand was ice cold, and had no warmth.

“Yes, I… I will be careful, I am immediately going to enter the palace for the imperial selection, and after this entering the Third Prince’s Mansion, I will definitely be more careful.” Ning Qingshan nodded her head continuously, emphasizing her use, and didn’t dare to move her body, stiffening there, letting that ice-cold hand slide over her face, then disappeared into the endless darkness.

This is a strong man!

“Ning Xueyan, is it?”

“Yes, it’s her!”

】 “I know, this kind of thing, I don’t want to have another next time.” The floating voice revealed a chilling air, that kind of cold air penetrated into Ning Qingshan’s marrow.

“It won’t happen, never again, I will never let others suspect again.” Hearing this tone, it was going to take action against Ning Xueyan, Ning Qingshan’s heart relaxed, and she couldn’t help but answer, at this moment, her mood was so excited that she almost forgot her own situation.

Ning Qingshan believed that as long as this person took action, it would be difficult for Ning Xueyan to not die, going against her, she had to be prepared to die.

In the darkness, there was no echo, as if no one had been here, Ning Qingshan fell and sat on the ground, and waited for a while, and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice: “Are… are you still there?”

The voice was no longer as arrogant as before, but had a few points of fear and a pitiful meaning, even if she couldn’t see her, she could still feel that she, as a weak woman at this time, was how helpless and afraid she was, even the expression on her face involuntarily changed to the pitiful appearance of a little rabbit injured.

Ning Qingshan had practiced this kind of expression and behavior in front of the copper mirror many times, even if her face was swollen, and the corners of her mouth were broken, Ning Qingshan believed that only that man would see her like this, and would pity her, men would naturally pity the lovely woman in a disadvantageous position.

This man was strong, so she wanted to capture him.

After Ning Qingshan finished speaking, she remained in this posture, quietly waiting in the darkness, with the expectation in her eyes, she was waiting for the prey to take the bait, she couldn’t see anything in the darkness, but that man would definitely see her clearly, otherwise his hand couldn’t have accurately touched her face.

Unfortunately, she seemed to have misunderstood again, in the darkness, there was silence, not a single human voice.

“Young Lady, Young Lady.” Knocking came from the hall door, it was Caifen’s voice in a low voice.

“What’s the matter?” Ning Qingshan stood up, a trace of shame and anger flashed across her face, she didn’t expect this person to have already left, and she had wasted her time sitting on the ground waiting.

She opened the heavy door, and saw Caifen standing at the door with a nervous expression, her face couldn’t help but sink.

“Young Lady, someone seems to be coming over there, should we hide?” Caifen pointed at the lights coming from afar and said to Ning Qingshan.

“Go.” Ning Qingshan nodded and walked towards a small path outside the Buddha Hall, if others saw her appearing here at this time, the gossip would be even more unbearable, just now she heard that Heir of Prince Li had also come, this person was really a ghost, as if she went there, he would appear there, it was truly hateful.

“Young Lady, your face…” Caifen quickly took two steps to follow Ning Qingshan, and suddenly saw Ning Qingshan’s swollen face and a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and screamed.

“Shut up.” Ning Qingshan said viciously, her gaze was so cold that it seemed to carry a few points of killing intent as she glared at Caifen.

Being glared at by her cold gaze like this, Caifen was scared to lower her head, and didn’t dare to speak again, carefully following behind Ning Qingshan, not daring to say a word more.

“Young Lady, they’re gone.” Xinmei, holding the lamp, stopped and watched Ning Qingshan leaving with maidservant Caifen from a distance.

“Let’s just circle around here and then go.” Ning Xueyan was coming over to find a handkerchief, she originally walked in front of Ning Qingshan, but as she was walking, Xinmei told her that Ning Qingshan was gone, she didn’t care originally, but Xinmei told her the direction Ning Qingshan had gone, which wasn’t the main hall where everyone was going to meet.

Ning Xueyan was immediately vigilant!

For Ning Qingshan, Ning Xueyan had never given up her vigilance, on the one hand because Ning Qingshan was really vicious, like a venomous snake constantly spying on people, hiding in a dark corner, waiting for the right time to rush out and put people to death; another aspect was of course because of her mystery.

That ambiguous identity, was definitely a big secret, and this secret, Ning Xueyan had a premonition, that it was related to herself, or her previous life, or her present life…

She had Qingyu go to the main hall first, she and Xinmei were carrying lanterns, using the reason of looking for the handkerchief, casually walking around in Hanshan Temple, Ning Qingshan had walked fast before, when Ning Xueyan wanted to follow, she was already gone, it happened to be here, Ning Xueyan hadn’t discovered anything yet, and Xinmei had already heard the sound of the hall door opening and closing, after a careful look, it wasn’t Ning Qingshan.

Looking at Ning Qingshan from afar, it seemed there was nothing wrong.

“Young Lady, should we go to the main hall to take a look?” Xinmei was pretending to look for things on the ground while lowering her voice, Ning Qingshan certainly couldn’t appear in a dark hall for no reason, and when they thought of Ning Qingshan’s various mysteries, it was easy for people to have the idea of wanting to investigate.

“Don’t go, let’s just find the handkerchief ourselves.” Ning Xueyan’s eye color was faint, and she said, her gaze landed on the ground, her voice was gentle and determined.

At this time, in this place, it was filled with eeriness, Ning Xueyan didn’t think that entering the main hall at this time was the right thing to do, exposing herself clearly in front of the enemy, this was such an unwise thing.

“Fifth Miss, are you looking for something? However, we will help you find it together?” A clear voice, with a hint of a smile, came from behind them, Ning Xueyan turned her head suddenly, and saw under the light, a handsome face that was bewitching and exuded a city-toppling beauty, and those peach blossom eyes with a slight smile.
