Chapter 68: Icy Gaze II

  "Come on!" Li Yang pulled me along, with a disapproving look, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

  I bit my lip and shook my head firmly, "I'm not afraid of him, I'll pay ten times the price, how about that?" The words were directed at the man behind me.

  The man's mouth curved into an arc, seemingly smiling but not quite, as he opened his mouth to say, "You're really wealthy and arrogant, but it's just a small trinket. If you want it, I can give it to you." Just as he finished speaking, the woman beside him became displeased, glaring at me and saying, "No way, I want this one. Ah Yuan, if you don't buy it for me, I'll buy it myself."

  "You really dare to say that." I sneered and took a step forward, pressing towards the woman, stretching out my hand and saying with an air of righteousness: "Hand it over to me."

  "No!" The woman glared at me without backing down, "This is mine."

  The boss, seeing this situation, took out another jade pendant from the side and handed it over with a smile, saying: "This jade pendant originally had two, if both girls want one, then each of you can have one."

  "I'll take that piece first." I pointed at the woman opposite me and said coldly, "I say, I want that piece."

  "Women are really troublesome." The icy-eyed man snatched the jade pendant from his female companion's hand and threw it into mine with a swift motion.

  "Ah Yuan!" The woman was furious, but restrained by the man and didn't dare to make a scene, so she could only glare at me to express her discontent.

  I ignored the woman's gaze, the icy temperature of the jade pendant transmitted into my palm, I gently rubbed it, looking at the phoenix on top slightly losing its spirit.

  Very similar.

  I have a identical jade pendant that I've been wearing since I was young, Shen Bieru said it's their family heirloom dragon and phoenix jade pendant, originally a pair, one given to me, as for the other one, she never mentioned it, but I understand.

  "Hey, what's your name?" The woman opposite asked reluctantly, her unpleasant mood evident in her tone.

  I slightly curled up the corners of my mouth and directly reported my own name, "Gu Qing."

  The other party was indeed stunned for a second.

  "Gu Qing?" The man murmured the name, his lips curling into a faint, enigmatic smile. "So you're Miss Gu Qing of the Gu family. I apologize for my mistake." Despite his words, he still looked utterly nonchalant.

  The girl hummed and her momentum increased, "My name is Bai Xue, remember it."

  White? I raised an eyebrow in surprise. The surname White represents the entire East City, and the White family is a powerful force in the underworld. I only knew from Qiao Yunge's mouth that the White family had a cousin named Bai Lu, but it turns out there's another cousin named Bai Xue.

  "Gu Chen's sister?" The man narrowed his icy blue eyes, and I clearly saw the chill in his gaze, but unexpectedly, I wasn't afraid at all.

  "It's really interesting." He stretched out his hand to me, but only slid it past my face, the cool fingertips brushing against my forehead, bringing a few strands of startling coldness. "I'm Bai Feiyuan, Gu Chen's sister," he said, pausing again and revealing that inscrutable smile, "Really... what a coincidence."

  I glanced at him and only said, "It's a narrow road for enemies." How could I not know the meaning of the name Bai Feiyuan? The one who provoked the entire White family's underworld power, the young master of the White family who could be considered an opponent by the proud Gu Chen, the man in Gu Chen's mouth with a smile that carried killing intent, turned out to have such eyes.

  Bai Feiyuan smiled and turned to leave, his voice carried over on the wind: "Gu Qing, we'll meet again in the mountains and waters."

  Bai Xue glared at me again before reluctantly leaving, jogging a few steps to catch up with Bai Fei Yuan and complaining: "Why did you let her off so easily? This isn't like your personality..."

  I snorted and slightly turned my head, but couldn't help being taken aback when my eyes met Li Yang's gaze.

  In Li Yang's eyes, there was a clear sense of blame. In addition to blame, there was also an inexplicable estrangement.

  That's right, it's estrangement.
