Chapter 168: To Meet with Danger (2)
Chen Wenwen sounded so arrogant, she didn’t even ask Murong Qingyan whether she was willing to help out before she pointed her finger at Murong Qingyan and demanded her help.
Murong Qingyan raised one eyebrow, she wasn’t mad at Chen Wenwen’s gesture, she merely saw Chen Wenwen as a spoiled brat. And she wasn’t bothered by Chen Wenwen’s attitude at all.
“Miss Murong, would you —” Chen Xianbin turned around and looked at Murong Qingyan with hesitation, he genuinely felt embarrassed by his sister, but he was worried for Chen Wenwen’s safety, so he braced himself to ask Murong Qingyan whether she was willing to go with Chen Wenwen against his will, but he still felt too embarrassed to finish his sentence.
“Childe Chen, it’s okay, I know what you are trying to say. I will go with your sister.” Murong Qingyan nodded.
Murong Qingyan figured she was actually the one who needed a bath badly compared to Chen Wenwen, she had been on the go since she had renounced the Murong Family.
Hearing Murong Qingyan’s reply, Chen Xianbin heaved a sigh of relief, he nodded at Chen Wenwen and said to her that she needed to come back as soon as possible.
“I know.” Chen Wenwen waved her hand with impatience at her brother and walked to the river.
Murong Qingyan followed her closely.
The rest of the team sat in meditation as a way of rest after the two girls left, they were all mentally and physically exhausted except Huangfu Jue.
Huangfu Jue closed his eyes and rested his mind sitting by a tree while Xiao Bai curled up by his foot, Xiao Bai liked this man who had been protecting its master, so it trusted him enough to rest by his foot.
Murong Qingyan didn’t ask Xiao Bai to go back to the space because the rest of the team had already seen Xiao Bai, she didn’t to raise any attention by making a fur ball disappear.
Chen Xianbin, Si Huang and Butler Chen didn’t approach Huangfu Jue who was resting because they knew how powerful this man was, so they dared not to make a move without the most careful thought in presence of Huangfu Jue.
This man could bring a beat under control like it were an ant, but it looked like this man would only listen to Miss Murong. And of course they didn’t believe what Murong Qingyan said, they didn’t think such a capable man was anyone’s bodyguard, but there seemed to be no better explanation.
They travelled together for two days now, and they found Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue’s relationship more confusing. Murong Qingyan said Huangfu Jue was her bodyguards, but they treated each other like strangers, they barely talked to each other, and Huangfu Jue treated Murong Qingyan nowhere near like he saw her like an employer, so did Murong Qingyan, she treated Huangfu Jue with respect rather than bossing him around.
With that being said, that was not the point now. They were committed to travelling together, what they should do was to trust each other and protect each other, their first priority was to get their family heirloom after all, everything else could wait.
To return to Murong Qingyan and Chen Wenwen, it didn’t take them long to arrive at the river Chen Wenwen talked about.
Chen Wenwen’s eyes sparkled on seeing the clean river, she quickly undressed herself and jumped into the river.
Murong Qingyan walked into the river as well, it felt so nice to have clean water after travelling for days. But she knew she shouldn’t let down her guard in a place like the Gloomy Forest, she kept looking around in case danger lurked somewhere and she was very quick in cleaning herself.
She frowned when she saw Chen Wenwen was playing with water, “Miss Chen, you better hurry up, otherwise I will go back to the team without waiting for you.”
Murong Qingyan was in no mood to wait on a princess like Chen Wenwen, the reason she said yes to Chen Xianbin was because she thought everyone had tacitly approved that they would make this as quick as possible, if she knew Chen Wenwen was here to enjoy a bath, no way would she promise Chen Xianbin that she would keep Chen Wenwen company. She wasn’t obliged to wait on a girl who had no common sense and who was willing to put the whole team in danger so she could enjoy a bath.
“I know!” Chen Wenwen rolled her eyes, “I didn’t ask you to wait for me, feel free to leave after you are done.”
With that Chen Wenwen turned around with a humph, it was like she were condescending herself when she talked to Murong Qingyan.
But soon enough, Chen Wenwen turned back and cast a glimpse at Murong Qingyan, “Oi, how would a person like you have the opportunity to know someone like Mr. Huangfu? Don’t try to fool me by saying something like he is your bodyguard. What exactly is your relationship with him?”
Chen Wenwen couldn’t help gnashing her teeth when she asked Murong Qingyan the question, she was so jealous of Murong Qingyan, for the past two days she had been making secret overtures to Huangfu Jue, but Huangfu Jue had ignored her completely.
So it baffled Chen Wenwen that why Huangfu Jue would rather talk to an ugly girl like Murong Qingyan than talking to her.
“That’s an interesting question,” Murong Qingyan smiled, “What do you think though, my relationship with Huangfu Jue. And why even bother to ask me again if you don’t believe what I said.”
“You —” Chen Wenwen turned red with rage, “Do you know who I am, a peasant like you from the countryside dares to talk to me like this!”
