Chapter 164: Ji Mofeng
Mu Qingyi was half-believing, but knowing she was fine put him at ease. “Remember, Lingyan, when you are very, very, very tired, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and silently tell yourself to persevere. Don’t deny yourself easily. Only tomorrow will know about tomorrow. Don’t rush learning design either.”
“Mm, I know,” Yin Lingyan nodded gently. She had already told herself these principles when she left for America.
“Why are you at the design school?” This was Yin Lingyan’s most pressing question. Logically, Mu Qingyi shouldn’t like design that much.
Hearing her question, Mu Qingyi’s gaze flickered. Of course, he wanted to learn design because he knew she liked it, so it wouldn’t be so awkward to strike up a conversation using design later.
“Hmm, I suddenly became interested,” Mu Qingran answered perfunctorily. Seeing his casual demeanor, Yin Lingyan temporarily believed him.
“Are there any rules at this school?” She wanted to stay quietly for three months and didn’t want to waste too much time here.
Mu Qingyi shook his head. What rules could a school have? It just had a few more boring people.
“Stay away from Anna from now on. She’s someone spoiled by fame. Don’t pay attention to her.” Recalling Anna’s troublemaking, Mu Qingyi still wanted to nag her.
“Mm, I know,” Yin Lingyan replied with a smile. If one looked closely, they would realize her smile didn’t reach her eyes at all, with a faint hint of sadness appearing.
After they ate, Yin Lingyan returned to the hotel and found that Yin Lingchen had left her a letter. The contents of the letter were: “Sister, I’m returning to China for something. Wait for me tomorrow.”
The writing was a bit hurried. Yin Lingyan shook her head. Brother must have gone to see Mu Qingran. She missed her too. In fact, Yin Lingchen really did have something to do in China, and this matter caused him to miss an opportunity – the chance to see Mu Qingyi.
Yin Lingchen rushed to China in a hurry. Without even changing his clothes, he hastily went to a dark small woods. There, a man in sportswear should have been relaxed, but what was with the terrifying aura emanating from his surroundings?
The sky was already somewhat dim, making the place look rather eerie. Thus, Yin Lingchen also became vigilant upon arriving.
“Yin Lingchen, you’re late.” This voice belonged to Han Wuyu!
Ever since he broke up with Lingyan, Yin Lingchen had also learned that the true owner recognized by the Heart of the King was Han Wuyu. Although he was a bit surprised, being someone who had seen the world, he was only momentarily taken aback.
“Sorry,” Yin Lingchen said, looking at the corpses around him and the figure that should have been imposing but was somewhat desolate, he felt lost.
Protecting the Heart of the King was his and Mu Qingyi’s responsibility. But now Mu Qingyi was nowhere to be found. It would be great if they could find Mu Qingyi. Recently, many dark forces were stirring. With the Heart of the King in his hands, the dangers around him were increasing.
“Is… she alright?” After a long silence, Han Wuyu didn’t answer Yin Lingchen but instead asked this question. Heaven knew how difficult it was for him to ask.
Yin Lingchen was stunned. Knowing he was asking about Yin Lingyan, he immediately replied, “She’s fine. You don’t need to worry about her.” His tone was a bit sharp, but as Yin Lingyan’s brother, he should have been angry. However, thinking about the reason he acted that way, Yin Lingchen regretted his words after saying them.
Words spoken are like spilled water; they cannot be taken back.
