The night quickly deepened, but Xia Yuhan was busy moving around the house, not knowing what she was doing.
Since that incident, Sun Liuxiang had not stayed at Xia Manor for long, making it inconvenient for Xia Yuhan to find someone to send a message.
"What are you doing?" A ghostly voice suddenly came from behind, startling Xia Yuhan to retreat several steps, even using her Hidden Weapon!
Because the room was extremely dark, Xia Yuhan couldn't see the person's face and raised her Hidden Weapon to shoot wildly at the shadow.
"What a vicious woman!" A pained voice came from behind Xia Yuhan, and then she saw a masked man in black appear before her—
"Woman, can't you be gentler?"
"Who told you to come out at midnight pretending to be a ghost?" Xia Yuhan was filled with anger; this man barged into a lady's room without remorse and then blamed her. What kind of logic was that?
She had seen thick-skinned people before, but this was the first time she encountered someone with such a thick skin!
"Cang Yile, you deserve it! A dignified prince actually does these sneaky things!"
Cang Yile replied in pain, "This King is only worried about you. Xia Yuhan, what do you want to do so late? You even put on night clothes!"
Xia Yuhan impatiently glared at Cang Yile a few times: "Rest assured, your pawn will take good care of this life! But Prince, can you please come in through the front door next time? Must you be so sudden?"
As she spoke, Xia Yuhan tied a piece of black cloth around her head.
Cang Yile's mouth twitched slightly: "This King has been here for quite some time..."
You just didn't notice This King; if it weren't for This King speaking up, you probably wouldn't have even known I was here!
He thought that Xia Yuhan would bombard him like before, but unexpectedly, she remained so calm this time.
Not only was she very calm, but her mind was also very clear. Her composure surprised Cang Yile greatly.
"Did the prince come here to inform Yu Han about the matter of the men in black? Ever since I took over handling the men in black, I've been feeling quite gloomy."
Cang Yile looked at Xia Yuhan, who was so serious, and suddenly connected Xia Yuhan with the old man. How could these two be so similar?
When not discussing serious matters, it felt like dealing with enemies who hadn't met for decades; upon meeting, they would bombard you with complaints. Yet when discussing serious matters, they were all business.
"Of course he has to be gloomy; he must be gloomy!"
So next, Cang Yile detailed everything he had done. After finishing, Xia Yuhan finally realized!
"So that's how it is! So the mysterious person behind the prince is Listening Blood Sect's Evil Master Zhangmen!"
Cang Yile couldn't help but mutter in his heart: This woman, can’t she tone down her active thinking?
"Yes, and so what? He always appears without a trace and disappears without a sound. First update."
"I want to meet the mysterious person!"
At that moment, Cang Yile locked eyes with Xia Yuhan and felt an inexplicable depth in her gaze.
It seemed as if that focused look was directed at Jiang Tingyu?
It really made him furious! Can't you, Xia Yuhan, focus on him for just one moment?
"No way, absolutely not! If there's something, just talk to This King!" Even though that Evil Master Zhangmen was him, he still felt jealous—jealous of himself.
"Xia Yuhan, by the way, where are you going so late? Are you planning to go to Xia Yang Village to gather information?"
"Why do you know this too?" Xia Yuhan said, somewhat annoyed. This wasn't protection; it was surveillance. What was the difference between her and someone locked in a prison?
Cang Yile explained slowly, "Don't misunderstand. It was my master who asked me to do this. This is a map of Xia Yang Village, with the local customs and traditions written on it. You can take your time to study it. By the way, were you out so late looking for that Sun Liuxiang? If you have something to say, feel free to let me convey it to her!"
Xia Yuhan was taken aback. How did he know everything she was doing? She couldn't help but feel three degrees more vigilant towards him.
"Xia Yuhan, all of this is related to my master and me, which is why I came here at such a late hour!"
Xia Yuhan took a deep breath. Why did this mysterious person know everything about her? And he even knew she needed help—help with what?
"Since Evil Master Zhangmen is so powerful, why doesn't he become the emperor himself?"
A glimmer suddenly flashed in Cang Yile's deep eyes. To avoid letting Xia Yuhan notice, he turned his head away. "This King doesn't know about that! All I know is that he wants to use my hand to eliminate Azure Dragon Ear, and I want to use his power to inherit the throne. We are merely seeking mutual benefit!"
"Now that Xia Yuhan is so valued by Evil Master Zhangmen, it's clear that you are very useful to him. You should think carefully about whether you want to seek mutual benefit. Once you go to Xia Yang Village, I will arrange for you to meet him!"
Xia Yuhan felt a bit anxious because she sensed that everything she did was clearly grasped by Evil Master Zhangmen. Had he discovered the existence of the Treasure Chest? Otherwise, she really couldn't find a reasonable explanation for her value to him.
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid he might turn against you?"
Xia Yuhan expressed her concerns. Being a pawn for others meant too many things were beyond her control.
Cang Yile noticed the flicker in Xia Yuhan's eyes and saw how much she cared about him. He wanted to hold this woman in his arms but ultimately restrained himself.
Mainly because he feared she would turn against him... tears.
"What do I have to be afraid of? Making a deal with Evil Sovereign, I've already wagered my life! If I lose the bet, then so be it; I'll die. If I don't take the risk, then I'm destined for mediocrity, bullied by others, and unable to protect even the woman I love most!"
Cang Yile didn't realize that every word he said was etched into Xia Yuhan's heart, especially when she heard "unable to protect even the woman I love most!" Her heart sank with an unexpressed sense of loss.
Yu Han hadn't expected that the prince was also someone who valued emotions!
The corners of Cang Yile's mouth twitched slightly: sooner or later, This King will tell you everything about This King, just don't change your expression...
"By the way, my lord, Yu Han has one more thing to trouble you with."
"What is it?"
Xia Yuhan paused for a moment: "It's like this, Yu Han wants to ask the lord to use the power of Evil Master Zhangmen to investigate the source of funds for Xia Manor and its movements!"
In the depths of Cang Yile's eyes, there was admiration for Xia Yuhan. If she were to assist him wholeheartedly in the future, he would certainly have less to worry about. At that time, they could work together...
Stop right there!
He should first find a way to tell her about what happened between them that night!
But if she knew, would it lead to a permanent rift between them?
He was conflicted!
Xia Yuhan saw Cang Yile smiling happily one moment and then looking melancholic the next. She thought this matter was difficult and quickly changed her words: "My lord, if it's inconvenient, then Yu Han won't trouble you anymore!"
"Ah? No, that's not it. This King was just thinking about other things. This King promises you. Tonight, you should rest early; there will be things to do tomorrow. This King will go to Sun Mansion for you and send a message to Sun Liuxiang with a note!"
Xia Yuhan expressed her gratitude, but for some reason, when she spoke, it completely changed: "In that case, Yu Han thanks the lord! By the way, my lord, next time please use the front door. There have been many night thieves lately. Yu Han's Hidden Weapon is prepared with poison..."
Cang Yile immediately felt a headache coming on and groaned softly before floating away without looking back!
This woman really is something! She won't take any loss at all! Besides, when has This King ever benefited from coming here?
As soon as Cang Yile left Xia Manor, he saw a shadow flash through the night. He gathered his energy and instantly chased after it.
“Qing'er, how did you end up here?”
“Master, Qing'er was worried about you, so I followed you to Xia Manor…”
The two landed, and Cang Yile's clothing fluttered in the strong wind. He removed the mask from his face, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed up at the night sky. Under the nightfall, he seemed like a towering mountain, imposing and majestic…
“Qing'er, have you taken care of everything you needed to?”
In an instant, he shed his charming demeanor, appearing serious and solemn.
Especially those deep-set eyes; just one glance felt captivating.
“Reporting to Master, the investigation into Canglong Hui's affiliates is still underway.”
“Slow, too slow!”
He coldly reprimanded Qing'er, his words devoid of any tenderness.
“And from now on, do not come to Xia Manor to find me!”
Qing'er lowered her eyelids, her eyes glistening: “Is Master fond of that Xia Yuhan? It’s important that Master doesn’t let personal feelings interfere with important matters!”
“You don’t need to worry about this matter; This King knows what to do! If there’s nothing else, you may return for now. Next time we meet, This King will send someone to notify you!”
“Yes, Master! Then Qing'er will head back first!”
“Wait, Qing'er. Remember, you don’t need to concern yourself with This King’s personal affairs, nor are you allowed to follow This King. This time I won’t hold it against you!”
“Yes, Master. Qing'er understands her mistake!”
He replied impatiently, wanting to be alone for a while. If he could control his own heart, not care about anyone, and not like anyone he didn't want to, would he still remember Xia Manor?
He suddenly realized why every time he went to Xia Yuhan at night, she would get so angry. Was it because he didn't respect her?
Well, next time he should just use the front door to avoid coming back with his nose in the dirt again.
He felt that that night, it wasn't him who possessed her, but rather she who possessed him, because ever since that night, his whole heart had been drawn to her.
But just thinking about her attitude towards him and how she had always treated Jiang Tingyu made him feel terrible!
If Xia Yuhan was nice to him just because Jiang Tingyu held a high position, then he was doomed!
Hmph! Xia Yuhan!
Cang Yile angrily flicked her sleeves and activated the Lightness Technique, quickly disappearing into the night.
