I turned around to look at her, and she immediately turned her head away unnaturally."I didn't want to come. It was my brother who forced me. To tell you the truth, I still don't believe you. You'd better not play any tricks, or else…"
I raised my eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly, interrupting her,"Otherwise, you'll definitely teach me a lesson, right? I know, you've said it hundreds of times.”I waved at her." It's almost dawn. Stop wasting time and lead the way." When we came here, you took me in circles. How could I recognize you?”
"You didn't recognize me and you still came out?”
I smiled and didn't say anything.
Mystic Moon thought for a moment and snapped back to her senses. She said angrily,""Alright, you knew I would chase after you, didn't you? Hmph, don't be happy too early. I didn't want my brother to be sad.”
"Alright, alright, I got it. Are you leaving or not?”
" You…" Xuan Yue glared at me and gritted her teeth,""Follow me!"
She took a step forward and skillfully shuttled back and forth in the complicated alleys, looking for a way out. She walked so fast that she didn't seem to notice that I, a weak woman who didn't know martial arts, was following behind her. At first, I was jogging behind her two to three meters, but after running for two to three kilometers, I really couldn't run anymore. F * ck, I've only taken the 800-meter middle and long-distance running test in the modern world.
I had no choice but to stop and gasp for air as I shouted,"Hey…Xuan Yue…You…Why are you running so fast? I can't run anymore!"
Only then did Xuan Yue stop in her tracks. She turned around and ran to my side. She sneered,"Weren't you in a hurry to leave? Why are you standing there now?”
I covered my chest and said,"I'm not as good as you. What can I do if I can't run?"”
" Alright," Xuan Yue said." Remember, you're the one who refused to leave. It's not that I don't want to bring you along."”As she spoke, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, not hiding the joy in her heart at all.
I suddenly found it a little funny. This Mystic Moon didn't seem to be that annoying. If one were to really say it, she was just a little childish and simple-minded. In fact, her personality was still very lively. At the end of the day, I still like her straightforward personality. What I hate the most is those hypocritical people who act one way on the surface and another behind their backs. Although Xuan Yue might not say anything nice, she would never stab you in the back.
I looked at her bright eyes and suddenly thought of a plan. I couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" She glared at me and frowned.”
I lowered my eyes slightly and smiled." Miss Xuan Se, you don't believe that I can help your brother from the bottom of your heart, do you?”
"Of course. Don't tell me you're really helping my brother?" Xuan Yue asked.”
"Whether it's true or not, there's no point in me saying it now. We'll know later." I looked up at her." Do you dare to bet with me?”
"Bet?" She looked at me suspiciously." What are you up to this time?”
I smiled faintly." I don't have any plans. It's just that you and I don't trust each other. If we continue to make such a fuss, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Qiao Manor even at dawn." Why don't we let go of the knot in our hearts? Don't worry, I'll definitely think of a way to get your brother off the hook. If you can't do it, I'll be at your disposal.”
" What do you mean?" Xuan Yue looked at me in confusion. Are you really going to help me? However, aren't your words a little too general? You said that you were at my disposal. Once I send you back, I'm sure you'll forget all about this and find a hole to hide in. What can I do?”
I said,"Aren't you skilled in martial arts?" It shouldn't be difficult to monitor me every day. Moreover, my father is an official of the imperial court. How can he run away so casually? A monk can run away, but he can't run away from the temple. If I go back on my word, you will find me one day and stab me to death with your sword. I'm not willing to take such a big risk.”
Xuan Yue pondered for a moment before nodding her head."It sounds reasonable, but why are you doing this? What benefits do you have?”
" On one hand, I naturally have to gain your trust. On the other hand," I changed the topic." I don't want any benefits. If I can get your brother off, what about you?”
"Me?" Xuan Yue was stunned for a moment." You can do whatever you want with me.”
"Does that mean that you will do whatever I ask you to do?”
"If you can save my brother, I'll even be your maid." Xuan Yue raised her chin.”
The corners of my mouth slowly curled up and I smiled." Alright, it's a deal!”
We exchanged three palm strikes, and it was considered a letter of agreement.
Xuan Yue heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at the sky and started to panic. She stretched out her right hand and tightly hooked it around my arm. She used her Qi to lift me up. With her leading the way, it was indeed not so strenuous, and their speed had a qualitative leap. Not long after, I was already standing in my boudoir again.
The sky was starting to brighten, but thankfully, I had always been lazy and wasn't as disciplined as Chao Rong. I didn't get up so early, so Cheng Wu and the others hadn't come knocking on the door yet.
" Don't forget what you said, or I won't let you off."”He ran away.
I quickly crawled under the blanket and touched the pillow. Not long after, I went to play chess with the Duke of Zhou. I didn't sleep for the whole night. I'm exhausted. I've decided to pretend to be sick and sleep for the whole day.
After sleeping for a whole day, I gave myself two prescriptions to drink before I was able to jump around again.
In fact, this matter with Xuan Se isn't too difficult to handle. Anyway, I'm not going to do it. If there's any trouble, I'll let Sir Qiao worry about it.
I made up my mind. That night, I found an opportunity to run to Lord Qiao's study to have a secret discussion with him.
As expected, I only mentioned the matter of Senior Martial Brother Xuan Se a little, and Lord Qiao immediately paled with fright and repeatedly asked me about the details of Xuan Se. Although he did not say anything in the end, judging from his expression, she knew that he must have taken this matter to heart.
Sure enough, two or three days later, I heard rumors in the manor that Lord Qiao had brought the child of an old friend to live in the manor and instructed Madam Qiao and the butler to treat her well. When I heard the news, I rushed out immediately. I bumped into the black siblings who were carrying their luggage and were a little confused.
"Senior Brother, how have you been?" I smiled.”
Xuan Se hurriedly bowed to me and said,"Thank you for your help, Junior Sister Qiao.”
"It's just a small matter. I actually didn't do much. It's all my father's mediation. Senior brother, you should go thank father.”I replied casually, but my eyes were fixed on Mystic Moon.
She stole a glance at me, then quickly turned her head away, her face a little embarrassed.
I laughed and mouthed to her, saying silently,"You have already lost."
