335 Strange Boss
The strange order was for Ning Yue to go to the Hundred Flowers Pool to get something.
What was this Hundred Flowers Pool?
Although Ning Yue was a little unwilling, this order was worth 300 taels of silver.
She would be a fool not to earn money.
After thinking about it, she asked Baili to bring her to the Hundred Flowers Pool.
“Baili, is this the Hundred Flowers Pool?” Ning Yue frowned.
This was just a pavilion. There was not even a drop of water, let alone a pond. How could it be called the Hundred Flowers Pool?
“Yes.” Baili nodded.
What puzzled Ning Yue was that Baili had been looking around since he arrived.
Suddenly, Ning Yue saw a figure not far away. This figure looked very familiar. She suddenly had a bold thought. All of this was probably done by Baili, including that order.
“Who is that?” Ning Yue looked at Baili, who lowered his head guiltily.
“I don’t know.”
“You really don’t know?” Ning Yue suddenly sneered.
When Baili heard this, he hurriedly explained, “Princess, the envoy from the Demon Palace said that he wanted to see you. If I don’t agree, he’ll kill you. I’m sorry…”
Ning Yue sighed and said nothing else.
She knew Baili’s skills. For him to be threatened like this, Ning Yue suddenly felt that her decision to come here today was wrong.
Therefore, Ning Yue immediately made a decision. “Baili, let’s go back!”
She was about to turn around when she was stopped by a fiery red figure. Ning Yue jumped back reflexively and looked at Willow warily.
“It’s you?”
Was he the envoy of the Demon Palace?
“I’m just passing by,” Willow said.
“Is that so?” Ning Yue didn’t look good.
Passing by? Who would believe that!
She had seen the surroundings on the way here just now. The Hundred Flowers Pool was a remote place. It was surrounded by rivers on three sides and mountains on the other.
To put it bluntly, if there was a storm here, it would definitely collapse.
Even Willow had to have some skill to lie.
However, Ning Yue did not intend to say anything else. “Oh, then continue passing by. We’ll leave first.”
With that, Ning Yue was about to leave when Willow stopped her again.
“What exactly do you want?” Ning Yue looked at Willow with a fake smile.
“They’re here.” Willow did not care what Ning Yue was thinking and did not explain to her. Instead, he looked in another direction.
A figure in white slowly walked over.
Ning Yue took a serious look and realized that she could not tell if the person was male or female.
“Princess Mingyue is really bold. She dared to come with two guards. Do you still remember me?” That person said.
Ning Yue frowned. Who was this man? She didn’t seem to know him.
It seemed that he even treated Willow as her guard.
That didn’t seem right.
Wasn’t Willow the Palace Master of the Demon Palace? This person didn’t seem to know him.
Ning Yue subconsciously looked in Willow’s direction, but he was long gone. She did not know when he had left.
That wasn’t right. Then where was the other guard that the person in front of him had mentioned?
Ning Yue couldn’t figure it out, so she didn’t plan to continue thinking.
However, she was very unhappy with Willow’s sudden departure.
“How rude,” Ning Yue said softly.
Although she lowered her voice, the man in white still heard her.
Ning Yue thought for a long time before remembering who the person in front of her was. Wasn’t this the person who had sold her the house in the capital?
What was the boss’s name again? She had forgotten.
“I have a few words to tell Princess Mingyue too.” The boss walked forward and whispered into her ear.
Ning Yue’s expression immediately changed drastically. “Are you threatening me?”
What the boss said was that her eldest cousin and second brother were in his hands. If Ning Yue did not help him, he would harm those two people.
“No, Princess Mingyue, you must be joking. How would I have the guts to threaten you? Please understand how a brother feels. Oh right, my father and I feel the same.”
Ning Yue sneered. What did he mean by empathizing with a brother?
In the end, wasn’t the boss still threatening people?
Besides, who was this boss’s sister?
It couldn’t be that Princess Lotus of the Black City Kingdom, right?
If that was the case, this world was too small.
Ning Yue immediately rejected this thought. It was impossible.
