Chapter 51: Strange Taste

“That’s it, you should be like this.” Yun Shu grinned as she looked at the window again.

’Why aren’t they leaving yet?’ Yun Shu thought as she felt annoyed and turned her head back to the guy.

Bai Yunxian’s face was flushed in crimson red as he looked aroused, even Yun Shu was stunned momentarily as she lost her expression, her hand trembled, causing him to moan out loudly.

“Hnng… hmm… ahh…!”

’Ah! Now it feels… a little weird…’

Yun Shu coughed lightly as she put away the feather on the corner, it seems that the shadow under the window was also gone.

“Did my plan succeed?” Yun Shu mumbled as she stood up and started walking around the room, as if searching for something.

“Young Lord…!” Bai Yunxian called out to Yun Shu with a loud voice, interrupting her. But before he could yell out again, Yun Shu put her finger on his mouth, gesturing him to shut up.

“Don’t scream loudly, I put on a show just now to get rid of the tail. Anyway, your acting skills were pretty impressive, it’s as if you were acting out for real.”

Yun Shu coughed lightly to break the awkwardness as she helped the guy take off the ropes, then she gestured him not to get up from the bed till she called him.

As soon as Yun Shu finished speaking, she stood up as she started to walk around the room, observing every nook and cranny with keen and sharp eyes.

This was actually the room they were supposed to investigate. And avoiding other people’s eyes and secretly walking in was something nearly impossible in this place.

That’s why she made a fuss to distract the attention and entered the room in a way that would look more normal!

As Yun Shu was checking, something special attracted her attention as she squatted down and grabbed it.

“Oho! This is…”

.

.

.

After half an hour later,

The door to the room finally opened as Yun Shu walked out, her face was expressionless for Nine to guess what happened inside this time.

“Master, you are back…!”

Yun Shu saw the almost crying expression on Nine who was feeling curious enough to die to hear what happened there, but just in one glare, he turned his face away quickly, trying to stop the hiccups with both hands.

“What’s going on? Lord, are you alright? You suddenly took the young man away with you and locked yourself in for a long time, I was worried.”

Feng Haoran didn’t have a clue as to what could possibly happen inside with two male being together.

Yun Shu also didn’t bother with explanation as she turned to Nine with a solemn and grim look on her face, “Prepare another set of clothes for the guy inside, we are going back to the inn.”

As she was about to walk away, Yun Shu pressed her hand on Feng Haoran’s shoulder as she said, “Prepare for yesterday, something fun is going to happen soon.”

!

Feng Haoran was stunned as he turned around to see the disappearing back of Yun Shu, could it be that he already solved the problem? Just by taking one look?

The case which has been going on for more than two months was dealt with by him in just one night; if the people who’ve been investigating the case heard that, won’t they feel so ashamed?

Feng Haoran’s respect and admiration for Yun Shu went up to a new higher place than it was before, but there was something else more important to deal with.

Bai Yunxian was sitting on the bed as he observed the guy walk around the room at a quick pace, smelling the entire room like a dog and looking for every nook and cranny around the room.

After what Yun Shu did to him, he wasn’t exactly angry. Rather than that, he was actually dwelling on how to face him the next time they met.

’Agh! I didn’t mean to make those embarrassing noises… it’s all his fault!’

Fwoosh!

He facepalmed again in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

But all of a sudden, Yun Shu spinned around as he stood up straight, opened the door and stormed out of the room as if he totally forgot his presence.

“… … ”

’Did he just… forget about me after he was done using me?’

Bai Yunxian was ticked after being ignored completely by the guy as he tried to get off of the bed.

This felt as if a husband who lost interest in his wife and ignored her! It’s so unfair!

All of a sudden, a guy with red hair barged into the room as he seemed to be astonished.

“What is this? Did the lord truly…! My god, how am I supposed to answer the Young Mistress? Damn!” Nine was screaming in frustration as he gnawed on his nails with burning eyes learing over the disheveled but handsome young man.

However, Nine was actually more attentive in something else rather than this mess.

’It didn’t take that long. Don’t tell me, is it his limit?’

Slap!

A loud and hard slap made him come back to his senses as he shook his head.

’No! I shouldn’t be curious about the lord’s private life! It’s my fault!’

’Hmm? Young Mistress? Is he perhaps… talking about me?’

Bai Yunxian was astonished when Nine mentioned him in particular. He didn’t know that Yun Shu’s subordinates knew him, even thought of him so highly.

’Did they truly recognize me as the Young Mistress of the family?’

“Hey, you there. Name your price and put the tab on me, in exchange, you can’t leak anything as to what you saw here or has happened here today, understand?”

!

’Hmm? Isn’t this an opportunity?’

Seeing that there was no response from the other side, Nine wanted to warn the guy once more, but when he turned around and looked at the guy again, he was too stunned to say anything more.

“Didn’t you hear what—”

“He-hey! What is this?? I-I didn’t do anything!” Nine panicked as he almost lost his consciousness.

Tears were trickling down from Bai Yunxian’s eyes as he lowered his gaze, well, it’s time for another great acting!

“Sniff, sniff… t-the Young Lord told me that, that if I were to satisfy him well, he would reward me and, and keep me by his side…”

“But after listening to what you said, it seems that the young lord actually lied to me after all. He doesn’t intend to keep his promise, but what about me? Sob…”

Perhaps Bai Yunxian was acting too well, this made Nine feel even more flustered getting caught in such an awkward situation.

The Young Lord, he was always this reckless, making a ruckus everywhere he went. And the subordinates had to bear taking care of the situations for him.

As Nine was contemplating what to do, Feng Haoran entered the room as his eyes stopped on the guy crying on the ground.

“This is…”

Feng Haoran didn’t expect to see the guy in such a state, his eyes subconsciously sized up the guy from head to toe.

“It’s nothing, no need to worry, Young Master Feng. My Lord will take care of all this, please follow me.” Nine also noticed the estranged look in his eyes, if he let them be, the matter would grow more worse.

“This young man, follow me as well. My lord will decide things for the final.” Nine said with a nonchalant voice as he walked out of the room. Since he was already quite familiar with his lord’s temper, he decided to leave the decision to himself.

’It seems that, the Lord has some… strange taste?’

Feng Haoran didn’t say anything as he looked at the guy once again before following the red head out of the room.

The moment the room emptied, the expression on Bai Yunxian’s face changed into a calm and cold expression once again.

’It’s settled. I can cling to him until we reach the border’, It doesn’t matter if he didn’t treat him well, what matters more is that he can travel safely till reaching the destination.

However, it seems that something has been going on in the County? Else what was the son of the County head doing here?

“Both of you, investigate the thing happening around here.” Bai Yunxian ordered in the empty room before he took a long breath and walked out of the room.

At evening,

Yun Shu was taking a look at the recent years logs and news, things happening around the county when a man in black showed up through the window.

“Subordinate sees you, My Lord.”

“Get up Six, report immediately.” Greetings were not as important as the news he bought now that Yun Shu was eager to get.

“The movement at the border suddenly fastened, My Lord. The situation has worsened even more.” Six appeared to be calm on the outside.
