Chapter 62.3: Do You Know, I’ve Been Searching For You
The warm sunlight spilled in through the window, and Qing Yu who was resting with her eyes closed heard slight movements. Raising her eyes to look, a beautiful bright coloured bird fluttered its wings as it stood on the window ledge, its green eyes looking around back and forth in a highly human like manner.
"Little one, where did you come from?" Qing Yu asked with a smile.
The little bird chirped a couple of times, stretching out its tiny little claw to reveal a tiny little bamboo tube tied to its leg.
[Is that..... the legendary message by homing pigeon?]
But anyway one looked at it, the bird did not look like a pigeon at all, but more like a expensive species the n.o.bles kept as pets.
She walked the few steps over there and stretched her hand out to retrieve the bamboo tube. The next instant, the bird had fluttered its wings and flew away, disappearing quickly before her eyes.
Qing Yu raised up an eyebrow slightly, not paying it much attention as she went on to take the note out from the bamboo tube and unrolled it.
The next second, the phoenix like eyes that had been narrowed lazily glinted briefly, and the note was then turned into ashes in her palm.
"Little Bei, I’ll be out for awhile."
The Tranquil Abode was in the most remote spot in the Eternal Peace Duke Manor and for one to go outside from there, a person will need to use a horse carriage. Otherwise, just walking to the main doors of the manor will taken them an hour.
But as there were guests here in the Duke’s manor today, not many people were moving about within, which made it more convenient for Qing Yu to move. She quickly employed a technique that shrunk the ground into inches for her, coming to reach near the main hall in just a mere moment, and it was just a few more steps away before she would be out through the door.
Unintentionally, she then discovered Yan Xi Rou craning her neck to peek inside the main hall. Qing Yu creased up her brows and quickened her steps, thinking to avoid her but was however one step too late.
"Qing Yu?" Yan Xi Ruo’s eyes were wide as she stared, looking a little surprised which then turned into anger. "Didn’t you say that you are not interested in seeing the Duke of Vast Sea? And here you are on your own so sneakily!"
"I don’t care. Since you’ve come, we’ll go in together. You are eager to see the Duke of Vast Sea yourself anyway, so don’t try to hide it anymore." Yan Xi Rou was already holding Qing Yu’s arm as she spoke, like she was deeply afraid that she would run away.
"....." [She merely just want to go out.]
Qing Yu showed an innocent smile. "Elder sis, you’ve misunderstood. I ordered a dress to be made the day before and I am just going out to pick it up."
"Is that so?" Yan Xi Rou looked at her suspiciously. "I’ll believe you for now. But why not we do this? Let’s go pay our greetings to the Duke of Vast Sea first and then I’ll go with you to pick up your dress. How does that sound?"
She was thinking that when she was being admonished by Yan Ning Luo, she’ll at least have Qing Yu to be her shield. Hmm. She’s really just too clever.
Qing Yu’s gaze turned to look at her a moment, and then she said obediently. "Alright. Elder sis, you must not let go of me. I am a little nervous."
Yan Xi Rou saw that she was indeed looking rather ill at ease and immediately thought that she was just shy, therefore relaxing her guard. "Alright then. I’ll walk in front and you follow right behind me. You will not be nervous in that way."
"Anything my elder sis says."
That highly obedient manner made Yan Xi Rou feel a great sense of satisfaction in her heart and she then released her grip on Qing Yu, before turning herself prettily to walk in front.
In the next instant, she felt that something did not feel right as that bashful and cooperative look was nothing like that languid and elegant young lady with a powerful presence from before at all.
"Yan Qing Yu!"
That furious howl quickly startled the people having their meal inside and Yan Ning Luo instinctively knitted up her brows as she called out: "Who is that shouting outside?"
The servant maid standing outside the door immediately came in and said in a soft voice. "It’s the Third Young Miss and the Sixth Young Miss. They seemed to have gotten into an argument."
"Absolutely outrageous." Yan Ning Luo berated softly, and her eyes darkened before she said apologetically: "Apologies, how embarra.s.sing."
