Chapter 48 Ambush

  A dark figure slowly emerged from behind, Jiang Nian turned his head slowly and thought that this person could walk normally without making a sound in such a place was really impressive.

  Actually more than half of his face was in the shadows, but Jiang Nian still recognized him at a glance. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly covered up.

  Actually, she didn't know who that person was at first, but vaguely felt that the person wouldn't really hurt her. And she stayed here for so long without moving just to give that person a sense of oppression and an illusion that had already been exposed. Then, after waiting for a long time, she would speak out again, and most people would come out because they couldn't bear it or felt they had been exposed.

  Jiang Nian had been uncertain in his heart all along, after all, it was really not easy to deceive a clever person with such childish tricks.

  But as expected, the IQ of the people inside didn't reach that height, and they actually believed it even when they were casually deceived.

  The black shadow took a few more steps forward, and now his entire face was in the afterglow of the sunset on the mountain, reflecting Ye Qi's delicate and innocent face: "I just wanted to play a game with you."

  Jiang Nian looked at his innocent appearance and couldn't help but smile: "What are you doing here? Do you have something to do with me?"

  For some reason, she couldn't be tough on this person. No matter how strong the fortress she had built before, whenever she saw him, her heart would involuntarily soften.

  Ye Qishen smiled, his teeth perfectly shaped, and asked in return: "And you? You're still in the Seventh City after all these days?"

  Jiang Nianxian was stunned for a moment before reacting that he had previously said he would go to the Seventh City, so he didn't take Ye Qihuan along the way to the Ninth City. Could it be that this person hadn't found someone to send him there and hadn't left the Seventh City?

  Chiang Nian felt a bit embarrassed thinking about it, feeling like he had taken advantage of someone. In fact, he just didn't want to bring them along.

  But precisely because she was embarrassed, her expression became even harder, and she said: "I like training here, what's it to you? On the other hand, you're following me around, aren't you bored?"

  Jiang Nian had some doubts, looking like this really didn't seem like a chance encounter in the Seventh City, but rather like he had been following him all along. Had he followed him to the Ninth City? How was that possible? The feeling of being secretly followed from behind was really uncomfortable, and it always gave him a creepy feeling, even thinking about it made Jiang Nian's skin crawl.

  But Ye Qihan's expression was very calm, and he just said a sentence that wasn't boring before changing the subject. The topic changed very naturally, and Jiang Nian didn't ask again, but there was always this knot in his heart.

  Later, Ye Qihen asked Jiang Nian where he wanted to go now. Jiang Nian thought for a moment and said casually, "Let's just take a walk." Ye Qihen nodded and introduced the central exploration area, saying it was very good and that she wanted to take a look. Since that place was Jiang Nian's destination for this trip, she didn't think much and followed him.

  Ye Qihen walked ahead of Jiang Nian, who couldn't see his face and didn't know that it was now somewhat distorted.

  Actually, Ye Qihen followed Jiang Nian to the Ninth City for a short while before receiving intelligence that his organization had encountered trouble, so he left behind a protective puppet and hastily rushed back. However, Jiang Nian didn't use that protective puppet, which made it very convenient for Ye Qihen to find him later. Those black puppets weren't something Ye Qihen created to scare Jiang Nian for fun, nor were they even his handiwork.

  Li Yuan received a message that Han Yue was coming to Feng Huang City in the Seventh City, so he had Li Yuan ambush here. Those things were originally intended to give Han Yue a psychological shadow first, and then kill him easily. However, Han Yue didn't show up after waiting for a long time, and those puppets didn't know what went wrong, but instead ran to attack Jiang Nian. He really had no choice, so he came out first, pretending it was a joke when Jiang Nian asked aloud, so that he could quickly solve the remaining puppets, lest the puppets appear too many times and be seen through by Jiang Nian. Otherwise, how could Jiang Nian fall into such an obvious trap?

  But now that the lie has been fabricated, it can't be changed, so there's nothing to do but take things one step at a time. Ye Qi Hen slightly lowered his head, covering up the faint light in his eyes.
