"Miss, are you feeling better?"
Ouyang Zixin had Liu Ying and Liu Lu find a shaded spot under a large tree for her to sit and rest.
"Mm." After taking the pill, Ouyang Zixin was able to regain consciousness so quickly; on one hand, it was due to the quality of the pill, and on the other, it was her own willpower.
"That Third Prince's pill is indeed effective," Liu Lvy said, delighted to see Ouyang Zixin improving.
Ouyang Zixin casually glanced at Liu Ying and gestured for her to conceal herself again. Liu Ying understood and faded back into the shadows.
"Miss, since the Third Prince has already met Liu Ying, letting her hide in the dark again..."
"Do you really think it was just a coincidence that the Third Prince encountered us?" Ouyang Zixin didn't believe such coincidences existed. Although she trusted Nangong Tuo not to harm her, their meeting felt too deliberate.
Liu Lvy paused at Ouyang Zixin's words. Indeed, how could it be so coincidental? The moment the high ground collapsed, the Third Prince appeared.
"It’s not exactly as you think," Ouyang Zixin replied lazily. "The collapse of the high ground wasn’t caused by him; he probably came specifically following the trail."
"Alright, I'm tired. I'll sleep a bit more." After instructing Liu Lvy, Ouyang Zixin leaned against the trunk and fell asleep.
This nap was not very peaceful for Ouyang Zixin. At first, it seemed she was dreaming, waking up repeatedly before falling back asleep.
After an unknown amount of time passed, her mind gradually calmed down, allowing her to sleep soundly for a while. When she finally woke up, she noticed that there was no light under the tree anymore; it had grown dark without her realizing it.
"I can't believe I slept for so long." Ouyang Zixin rubbed her stiff shoulders and neck, thinking that she must have been exhausted.
As she stretched halfway through her yawn, Ouyang Zixin suddenly sensed something was off. Her entire body tensed up again as she braced herself against the trunk behind her, ready to use it for support at any moment.
"Are you only now being cautious? Isn't it too late?" A vague figure leaned against a large tree not far in front of Ouyang Zixin.
"What are you doing here?" Although it was late, the figure was indistinct, but that unchanging cold voice made Ouyang Zixin instantly recognize who it was.
"I ran into some trouble." This statement came from Yun Tianmo, as if Ouyang Zixin's predicament was not worth much attention.
Relaxing a bit, Ouyang Zixin nodded, feeling somewhat helpless. Why did everyone’s first words to her always relate to trouble?
"When did you arrive?" Ouyang Zixin looked around but saw no sign of Liu Lvy, and she could no longer sense Liu Ying in the shadows.
"Before you fell asleep." Yun Tianmo knew exactly what Ouyang Zixin was searching for, but with him here, there was no need for anyone else.
So early? Ouyang Zixin frowned, realizing her vigilance had been too weak; a person with such a strong presence appeared, and she hadn’t even noticed, sleeping soundly instead.
"Should I be thankful that it's you who showed up?" In truth, Ouyang Zixin wasn't sure why she felt this way; when facing Yun Tianmo, she just knew he would never harm her.
As for where this feeling came from, Ouyang Zixin couldn't figure it out.
"You should be grateful for him." Yun Tianmo had always been puzzled as to why his heart was so easily swayed by Ouyang Zixin, but now he finally understood.
Him?
—Master.
"Nameless!" Ouyang Zixin exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you say..."
—Master, Nameless also didn't know why, but when that young man appeared, Nameless woke up.
"Uh? Yun Tianmo?"
Ouyang Zixin looked at Yun Tianmo with confusion. The existence of Nameless was something even her parents were unaware of, so why was it that as soon as Yun Tianmo appeared, Nameless could awaken from extreme weakness?
"Why?"
Yun Tianmo coldly stared at Ouyang Zixin. Hmph, why? It wasn't the right time to tell you.
"Hey, what’s wrong with you? Someone is asking you a question!" Ouyang Zixin was infuriated by Yun Tianmo's indifference, and her tone was no longer as pleasant as before.
"Want to know?" Yun Tianmo finally glanced at Ouyang Zixin and asked.
Ouyang Zixin nodded. The existence of Nameless could not be easily discovered; why was Yun Tianmo a special case? This needed to be clarified.
Yun Tianmo stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, turned his back to Ouyang Zixin, and said, "Stay close to me here at Lingchi Peak, and perhaps I will tell you."
Ouyang Zixin was truly a troublemaker, especially with Nangong Tuo...
Thinking about how the Third Prince of Li Nation was entangled with Ouyang Zixin made Yun Tianmo feel inexplicably displeased, not to mention those two girls who had tried to harm Ouyang Zixin.
"You..." Ouyang Zixin did not expect someone as proud as Yun Tianmo would say something so easily misunderstood. What did he mean by staying close to him?!
"You are hiding your cultivation level, thinking that with just two maidservants, you can keep it hidden for long?" Yun Tianmo bluntly pointed out the issue.
Ouyang Zixin was taken aback. He knew about her concealing her cultivation level? To be honest, Liu Ying and Liu Lu had indeed become much stronger than before, but there were plenty of noble ladies at Lingchi Peak, and their bodyguards were all skilled fighters. Relying solely on two maidservants to conceal her cultivation level was indeed not an easy task.
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Zixin ultimately compromised; however, she was not someone who would simply obey orders. She insisted, "We are just traveling together."
Ouyang Zixin did not want others to think of her as a mere follower seeking the protection of a foreign prince.
“Hmm.” Yun Tianmo turned his back to Ouyang Zixin, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face. “You’re more obedient than before.”
Pfft, Ouyang Zixin secretly spat. I’m just someone who knows how to read the situation.
“Now can you tell me how you noticed Nameless?” Ouyang Zixin squinted her eyes, a trace of danger flickering in them.
“Are you worried that I would harm you?” Yun Tianmo’s previously raised lips fell again, and the temperature around them dropped significantly due to his words.
“Do you think I would still be here if you wanted to harm me?” Ouyang Zixin scoffed at Yun Tianmo’s speculation; she was more concerned about others.
“If everyone with the same cultivation level as you could sense Nameless, then what kind of secret weapon would that be?” Ouyang Zixin added.
“You're overthinking it.” Yun Tianmo didn’t want to dwell too much on the topic of Nameless, but speaking of it, this Girl really had poor naming skills.
Hmph, Nameless. What a terrible name.
“Playing tricks.” Ouyang Zixin muttered to herself, she hated all this mysterious act.
