1622 Seemed To Carry Some Sort Of Magic

To their surprise, they spotted two men sitting by the mountain stream as they made their way over following the sound of flowing water. The men were bent over as they scooped water from the stream to drink.

The girls were taken aback—they never thought there would be outsiders there.

Hexin frowned when she saw the two strange men. The mountain behind the holiday home was considered the property of her family. Judging by what the men wore, they looked like commoners who had accidentally wandered there.

Her gaze swept across the two bundles of wood placed next to their feet and she paused. Were these men just commoners who stayed nearby and had come for a drink because they were thirsty from chopping wood?

Yaoyao sized those two men up as well.

She knew this mountain belonged to Hexin’s family. Here were two commoners trespassing on the property. It looked a little suspicious no matter what.

The two men were none other than Wanyan Jin and his subordinate.

Wanyan Jin’s gaze swept past Yaoyao’s and he could not hide the astonishment in his eyes.

However, he quickly hid his surprise and his expression returned to normal.

He coughed twice and stood up, then spoke in a hoarse voice. “I’m just a commoner living nearby. I’m here to chop wood and I did not mean to run into you ladies. Please forgive me.”

Yaoyao could tell from his cough that he had a long-standing illness. She could not help but ask, “Sir, are you feeling unwell?”

Wanyan Jin’s eyes darkened, hiding the slyness in them. “It’s just an old sickness. I’ll be leaving now.” He picked up the bundle of wood as he spoke and walked down the mountain with Bada in tow.

Yaoyao stared at both of them for a while, looking thoughtful.

Hexin noticed this and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

“Yes. They look like they had put on disguises,” Yaoyao said.

Hexin was shocked. “Disguises?”

“Yes.” Yaoyao nodded. “But since they decided to leave, they must have come here by mistake.”

Hexin stopped worrying when she heard this.

Those two men were gone, anyway.

They did not find anything really strange about this, so they decided to stop worrying about it and went to the side of the stream as they began cleaning up the meat.

Unknown to them, Wanyan Jin and Bada had made their sudden exit because they noticed the entire mountain was filled with covert guards. They were forced to change up their plans to kidnap Yaoyao. After all, they were in the suburbs right outside the capital city and they would need to consider the odds if they were to take action.

Yaoyao and the girls had fun in the mountains until the sun was about to set. It was only then that they returned to the holiday home.

The moment they arrived, they saw Chen Jin standing in the courtyard.

Yaoyao was surprised. “Chen Jin, what are you doing back here again?”

A look flashed in Chen Jin’s eyes as he lowered his head to say, “I have returned to protect you.”

Yaoyao knew this must be Beitang You’s instructions, which was why she did not ask him to leave. Instead, she took out some leftover grilled pheasant. “Are you hungry? I still have some…”

Chen Jin gave a light cough. “Princess, Master is…”

“What happened to your master?” Yaoyao looked at him questioningly. She found it suspicious to see him stammering.

“Yaoyao.”

It was at that moment that a man’s deep voice was heard behind her.

Startled, Yaoyao wheeled around. She saw a man slowly walk out of the room and stand under the roof with one hand tucked behind his back. He looked at her with a small, gentle smile.

The smile hanging on his lips seemed to carry some sort of magic. Her heart thumped wildly because of it.

It took her quite a while to recover. She asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I’ve heard you aren’t returning to the Palace, so I’m here to bring you back.” Beitang You walked out and his gaze fell onto the grilled poultry in her hand.

Yaoyao noticed this and quickly walked up to him to give him the grilled meat that was wrapped in leaves. “Are you hungry? Do you want some? I grilled this with Xinxin and Yuan You. It tastes pretty good.”

Beitang You smiled at the expectant look on the girl’s face, which looked as though she was offering him some magnificent treasure. “Alright. I’d like to taste my princess’s cooking.” He darted Chen Jin a look as he walked back into the room.

Chen Jin immediately felt a chill run down his neck.

Yuan You was about to follow him inside when Hexin pulled her back and whispered, “What are you doing?”

She was slow to gauge the situation and said, “Shouldn’t we accompany His Majesty since he’s here?”

Hexin was exasperated with her clueless look. “His Majesty is mainly here for Big Sis Yaoyao. We’ll just spoil his mood if we went in there.”
