An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows and replied, “Uh-huh.”
Escaping from the military camp? She’s bold indeed!
However, her attention was not on what was on the surface. Instead, she was fixated on the way Xue Ling dodged her attack.
There was no need for Xue Ling to dodge. She would only be slightly injured at the very most.
However, she dodged the sword completely in one motion. Was this something an arrogant young lady, who would become unreasonable when angered, could do?
Was Xue Ling hiding something all along?
Looking at the long sword in front of her, Xue Ling gulped and trembled.
“War… Warlord!”
She had been by Qian Jiyun’s side for so long. She might not be able to recognize many things, but she could recognize the ‘Warlord’. It was Qian Jiyun’s sword, which had accompanied him everywhere and killed many enemies. It was stained with the blood of countless enemy soldiers.
She looked up and became alert when she saw An Jiuyue.
“An Jiuyue!”
It’s An Jiuyue! She always ruins my plans!
Of course, Qian Jiyun saw Xue Ling. He was stunned for a moment before shouting her name.
“Xue Ling!”
The military camp has been on lockdown—the people inside cannot come out. How did Xue Ling get out? Does she have a spy in the military camp? Or rather, does my ‘good’ stepmother have a spy in the military camp?
“Brother… Brother Yun…”
Xue Ling was livid when she saw An Jiuyue, but she trembled when she heard Qian Jiyun’s voice.
I clearly avoided them! They didn’t notice me at all! How did they find me here?
“Xue Ling, why are you here?”
Yan Nuo, who had followed them, was shocked to see Xue Ling.
Shouldn’t she be in the military camp? In fact, isn’t she part of the group who had contact with infected soldiers? Did she run out?
“You—”
Xue Ling wanted to scold Yan Nuo when she heard him call her name.
However, she did not dare to do it when she thought about what she had done and how she had escaped from the military camp.
It was better to avoid angering Qian Jiyun now. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to escape punishment. She really did not dare to go against Qian Jiyun since her aunt was not around now.
Moreover, her realization that Qian Jiyun might be interested in An Jiuyue made her want to avoid clashing with him even more.
She could only push all the blame on other people.
“Brother Yun, you’re finally back! If you’re away any longer I would be bullied to death by those people inside the military camp! Those men are too scary.”
“Haha…” An Jiuyue chuckled and looked at Qian Jiyun teasingly. She was waiting for him to comfort this weak little white flower.
Xue Ling was so good at pretending she transformed into a different person from when she was at the treehouse.
However, would Qian Jiyun still go along with Xue Ling’s antics?
He had been tolerating her because he wanted to find out who was behind her. But now… An Jiuyue was next to him.
There had already been a misunderstanding. If he treated Xue Ling gently, he would probably only be successful in reconciling with his wife in their next life.
“Yan Nuo, tie her up and bring her back to the military camp,” he instructed Yan Nuo coldly.
