C31 Hermaphroditism
Music Hall, zither music wound around the beams, like the sound of nature could not be stopped.
Jun Ximo sat on the carpet and drank while quietly listening to Yu Qingcheng's' Feng Su Feng 'play. No matter how he listened to it, it didn't have the smell that Ling Luo blew out with a leaf a few days ago.
In his mind, the tear-stained face and dark eyes from when she played the 'Feng Qiufeng' slowly surfaced. Those eyes …
Suddenly, the image in his mind froze on those eyes. It was like he had seen it before. Where did he see those eyes? Why didn't he seem to remember?
Seeing his distracted look, a sliver of injury appeared in the depths of Yu Qingcheng's eyes. The zither music also abruptly stopped, but he still hadn't recovered his wits yet and was still in a daze.
"Young miss, young miss!" Hsing'er suddenly rushed in with a mysterious look on her face.
"What is it? Didn't you see that there's an important guest here? " Yu Qingcheng snapped in displeasure as she glared coldly at her.
"Fourth Prince, Lucky, please forgive this servant for being too reckless earlier."
"It doesn't matter. What caused you to be so agitated?" Jun Ximo did not mind and looked sideways at Hsing'er, waiting for her to finish.
"Oh, yes. Just a moment ago, this servant just happened to come out of the barracks to return back to the Music Hall, and while I was passing by the Grand Cloud Restaurant, I was captured by a man … "
Hsing'er was not scheming. She blurted out the whole story that happened just now while Jun Ximo stared at her with widened eyes.
"Are you saying that this woman has a fiery red mark on her face?"
"Yes, just like a phoenix. And she's beautiful! " She exclaimed in admiration, looking at Yu Qingcheng's gloomy face, she hurriedly added, "But no matter how beautiful she is, she's not as beautiful as my Miss, hehe!"
Suddenly, Jun Ximo seemed to have something he wanted to say, but he couldn't make sense of it. Was it her? Was it the woman who broke into the palace at night?
But one was the capital, and the other was the Mohe County, so how could it be her from so far away? Was there a woman in this world with the same imprint?
"You said she was hurt?"
"That's right, there is a big hole on her back and chest. If this servant guessed right, that hole must have been pierced by an arrow." Tsk tsk tsk... You've all become inflamed, but this servant has already bandaged her up and even gave her a silver ingot as compensation. "
Hsing'er's words made Jun Ximo's mental state even more confused as the arrow pierced his heart. He remembered that Ling Luo's arrow wound had also been penetrated by the arrow. He thought of her frail body, the elegant words written on the picture, and the intelligence she displayed. Was she really the same person?
No, impossible!
He immediately denied it because that girl had such a high martial arts level and Ling Luo didn't have any martial arts. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been injured by arrows.
Therefore, they were not the same person.
"They're at the Cloudmist Restaurant?" he asked again.
"Yes, it's in the left wing upstairs."
"Oh!" He nodded and suddenly shot a glance at Yu Qingcheng. "Qingcheng, I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll have to leave first. I'll come listen to you play the song next time."
"Fourth Prince, you … Leaving so soon? Do you want to stay a little longer? " Yu Qingcheng stood up and walked over with quick steps, looking at him with hidden bitterness in her eyes.
"Next time, thank you for the hospitality."
Jun Ximo did not stay any longer. After walking out of the Music Hall realm with large strides, he leaped onto the roof beam and started flying towards the Yun Lai Restaurant.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.
Ling Luo's expression was dark and her eyes were filled with hesitation. Beside Lang Hsing was Branch Lord Luo Shan, who had followed him here. Luo Shan thought that something had happened to him, but who knew that he would accidentally meet Young Lord?
"I've decided not to go back for the time being." She had to become Jun Ximo's left and right arm before she had a chance to get him to treat Baili Nange.
Because in the information on Ice Polar Palace, the Ghost-Mask was a superb existence. She had to grab onto this lifesaving straw and not let her master continue to go crazy like this.
Luo Shan was stunned for a moment as a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes. This was because he had already received the sacred order and discovered the Young Lord. If he did not inform Baili Nange, it would be unjustifiable.
"Young Lord, Palace Lord is looking for you everywhere. Why don't you go back first? He doesn't recognize anyone now, he only remembers you. " He said very sincerely.
"No, I have my own opinions. I will be back very soon. Don't reveal my whereabouts for now." Ling Luo thought for a moment and then waved her hand at them. "It's about time. You can all leave. I'm going to take a break and leave as well."
She still had to return to the barracks, and this had to be done in secret.
"Luo Shan, why don't you go back to the hall first, I'll have a chat with Young Lord later." Lang Hsing was Ling Luo's trusted aide. Naturally, he would side with her.
Luo Shan sighed and left the room with a nod. He thought about it and felt that he had to tell Baili Nange about this. As for Ling Luo, he would talk about it later.
Just as he walked out of the restaurant, a tall and burly man rushed past him. Who else could it be other than Jun Ximo? He suspiciously shot a glance back before hurriedly leaving. He had to go notify them in case Young Lord ran away again.
The moment Jun Ximo walked into the tavern, the waiter immediately came to welcome him. Seeing his luxurious clothes, a big smile was plastered on his face.
"Dear guest, would you like to go to the hotel or stay there?"
"I'm looking for someone!" He walked up the stairs to the left wing and stared at the door, deep in thought.
"You should go back as well. I'm a bit tired."
"What about your injury?"
"No worries, if it's serious, I will go find Luo Shan." Do not mention me to anyone. I may not be back for some time. "
"... "How about you? I'll be leaving first."
The moment the voice of the person in the room faded, the door quickly opened. Lang Hsing, who had walked out, looked at Jun Ximo, who was standing at the door, and was shocked. He immediately took out his Longsword.
"Who are you? Why are you standing in front of our Young Miss's door? " He didn't know Jun Ximo because his portrait wasn't in Ice Polar Palace's database.
Jun Ximo glanced at him and spat, "I'm your mistress' savior. What, you don't want me to go in?"
"..."
Lang Hsing was stunned and turned his head to look in shock. However, Jun Ximo pushed him aside and squeezed him in with big steps. Ling Luo, who was sitting beside the bed, had no time to dodge, so she could only bite the bullet and look at him.
Looking at Ling Luo, who was dressed in a woman's outfit as beautiful as a fairy, Jun Ximo's eyes were filled with shock, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he had seen her face.
"Oh, isn't This King honored to see you put on your female attire?" He raised his eyebrows and gave a faint smile.
"It is said that Fourth Prince is leading the northern expedition. Why is he wandering around the city late at night? And he even accurately found the place where this little girl was staying.
Ling Luo smiled and bowed to Jun Ximo, "I will never forget Fourth Prince's saving grace."
Then, she glanced at Lang Hsing and said, "Hurry, go make a pot of tea for Fourth Prince."
"Yes sir!"
Jun Ximo sat down calmly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Luo's meaningful smile. This King has met twice by chance and does not know the lady's name. Can you tell me? "
"Since Your Highness is able to find this place, I believe that the person who told you about this has already told you my name, right?"
"Do you think This King will believe that 'Ru Hua' is your name?" Jun Ximo raised his eyebrows and subconsciously glanced at her chest. There was indeed a large ball of captivating red there that couldn't be hidden.
"Are you hurt?" he asked knowingly.
"As you see!"
"I remember the last time you were injured. Why is it that every time This King sees you, you are always in such a sorry state?"
"... This fully proves one thing, Your Highness, you are the nemesis of this little girl! "
"Huh? That is to say, we are actually subconsciously entangled with each other? "
Jun Ximo smiled. He lacked the indifference that he had when he was in this state. To think that he would be so exceptional. Ling Luo's face reddened. She initially wanted to reprimand him, but for no reason, she just remained silent.
"Miss, the tea has arrived."
After Lang Hsing put down the teapot, he stood behind Jun Ximo like a plague god as he stared at the back of Jun Ximo's head with his bell-like eyes.
"Fourth Prince, please!"
Ling Luo gracefully poured a cup of tea for him. She looked around the room and caught sight of the change of clothes in the corner by the window.
She was shocked. She glanced at Lang Hsing and tried to look at him through the window. Lang Hsing turned around and walked towards the window.
However, Jun Ximo had seen all of his movements from the corner of his eye. He looked at Ling Luo meaningfully, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Miss, your eyes are very similar to a soldier in this king's military camp."
"Hehe, Fourth Prince sure knows how to joke around."
"Really?" "Then this is …" Jun Ximo suddenly stood up, and quickly grabbed the suit behind Lang Hsing. "How strange, why is the little soldier's clothes in this room? Or do you have something up your sleeve, girl? "
"Fourth Prince must be joking. When we checked into the inn, we already had these clothes. They might have been left behind by someone who didn't take them with us when we checked into the inn." "Why don't you ask the shopkeeper whose thing this is?"
"It's alright. It's just a small soldier. This King will catch him and ask him clearly when I return." It's already late, so This King will not disturb Miss. Goodbye! "
After Jun Ximo said that, he left the room without looking back. Ling Luo's face darkened as a trace of fear flashed past her eyes.
"Lang Hsing, hurry, find someone to stall Jun Ximo, I'm going back to the barracks."
"Young Lord, don't go. You have to suffer bitterly and starve to death there.
"Only Jun Ximo's martial arts can compete with Master, and only he can save Master, do you think I can go back? Hurry and find someone to stall him! "
"Yes sir!"
Lang Hsing did not dare to linger and hurriedly left the tavern. Ling Luo quickly changed into a mask and left the tavern as well. She found a carriage and sped towards the barracks.
"Luo, my Luo …" Master is here, Master is here to find you … "
Suddenly, she remembered Baili Nange's magnetic voice. Her heart sank and she became even more terrified. Such a pure and thick sound transmission could only prove one thing: Baili Nange was not far from Mohe County.
Did Luo Shan inform his master? So he actually ignored the consumption of his inner strength and used the Imperial Sword Technique?
Ling Luo panicked. If Baili Nange found her, she would definitely never be able to escape the Ice Polar Palace. Therefore, she couldn't let him find out. The best place for her to hide was the military camp!
Therefore, she couldn't reveal herself no matter what. She had to return to the camp secretly so that Jun Ximo wouldn't be found out.
She only hoped that while Lang Hsing was restraining Jun Ximo, Baili Nange could also be pacified. Otherwise, according to his condition, it would have set off a violent storm.
Suddenly, she felt as if she were standing on a log bridge, with wolves in front and tigers behind. She simply didn't know what to do. She could only hope that a miracle would happen that would allow her to escape this calamity.
