Chapter 83 A Tiger''s Roar, a Wolf''s Howl I
Seeing the treepletely empty, Qingyan seemed to have taken a load off her mind. If her intuition
just now was correct, then the one that appeared on the tree earlier must be Yaochi.
And if you were to ask why Qingyan was so sure, it was mostly because Yaochi carried an innate scent
on him. This scent, others were unable to sense it, but she could still sense it.
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and ck Tortoise. Among the four guardians of the
Thousand Beast Pavilion, the only one she regarded highly was the Azure Dragon alone. The name
Yaochi was also bestowed onto him by Qilian Qingyan. And with his status as her protector, he also
became Qilian Qingyan''s personal imperial bodyguard.
But unlike Fengqing, who was considered a shadow guard, Yaochi followed by her side closely.
Her martial art skills were not as good as theirs, so Yaochi would patiently teach her mind techniques to
refine her skills.
To Qilian Qingyan, Yaochi wasn''t just a simple bodyguard, but rather his existence was like that of an
older brother to her.
Yet in the end, when she was faced with a predicament, she was unwilling to drag him down with her.
Because in her eyes, only Yaochi was able to bring the entire Thousand Beast Pavilion under control.
But she''d never thought that it would be a regret that Yaochi was unwilling to put down.
And, to an assassin, resolve was a very good thing.
But she knew that in the end, Qilian Qingyan was no more. Whether or not Yaochi would be her
close bodyguard now, she didn''t know.
She was Su Qingyan. The former Qilian Qingyan was no longer here.
Furthermore, she didn''t how to exin all this to Yaochi. The only thing she could do was to quietly wait
for an opportunity to arrive. Perhaps, when she bes the second Thousand Beast Pavilion Master,
will everything finally have change.
And the thing she needed to do now was to wait.
When Zizhu pushed opened the door, she saw Qingyan absentmindedly sitting there alone, in front of
her desk. Sometimes she really felt she was unable to make sense of her more and more.
Ever since the young miss woke from almost drowning, it was like she''d be another person. But
after having interacted with her during this time, she also felt that this miss was still the same miss as
before. It was like as if she was that gentle and kind miss as before, who was never raised by Ning
Siyao.
That miss, who would smile at them and treat them really well.
"Zizhu, you''vee." When Qingyan saw Zizhu, she slowly spoke, "You know,tely, I''ve been
dreaming of my mother a lot."
Zizhu let out a sigh of relief, so miss had that look because she was thinking of the old lord and
madam.
She walked up next to Qingyan and massaged her shoulders, "Miss, you need not worry, Lord Su and
madam will be back very soon."
Qingyan grasped Zizhu''s hand, "Zizhu, I''m really worried that something bad will happen to mother and
father on the way."
Zizhu held onto Qingyan''s ice cold hands, "Miss, both the lord and madam have martial art skills, plus
there''s also the young master. Moreover, they''re also bring back a couple of troops, so naturally
nothing will happen."
Qingyan could only smile as she looked to Zizhu. She still remembers that her premonitions have
always been urate, especially recently, when she''s dreaming, she would always dream of a pair of
silhouettes. Even if the figures were dark and blurry, she couldn''t hide the faint uneasiness in her heart.
If it really was like she''d said, then something definitely was going to happen to Su Yun and Luo Bing
on their way back to the capital. And this something could even take their life.
Qingyan nced to Yaoyao in her arms, as if she''d thought of something. Right now, she couldn''t go
out, but that didn''t mean that the animals under hermand couldn''t leave the city to go protect her
parents, especially under these circumstances.
No one other than Ning Siyao would have such hatred against Su Yun, and standing behind Ning Siyao
Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
was the entire Jingguo Marquis manor.
Qingyan let out a whistle. The white tiger, who waszily sunbathing in the distance, immediately
walked in and lowered itself by Qingyan''s foot.
"Xiaobai*, in the vicinity of Diqiu, is there any wolves, tigers, or other animals?"
(*TN: Little white)
The white tiger scratched itself with its w, as if it was pondering over Qingyan''s words. Atst, it put
down its w and looked to Qingyan with a roar, "There''s a pack of wolves nearby."
Qingyan nced to it and continued, "Wait until it''s nighttime and take me to that wolf pack. Lately, I
haven''t been able to sleep at night. I''m worried someone will harm my parents."
The white tiger looked to Qingyan and nuzzled against her arm again. That intimate manner looked as
if it wasforting her.
Watching its behavior, Qingyan patted it on the head, "Xiaobai, I''m fine. I''m just a bit worried about my
parents."
Even though Su Yun and Luo Bing were both skilled in martial arts, they excelled in strategy. They
didn''t understand the struggles and battles of the back manor. If Ning Siyao were to use this against
them, then they definitely wouldn''t be able to avoid it.
But she wasn''t able to appear before them, else she would have to tell them that she''d predicted
something would happen.
This was something absolutely impossible.
Qingyan walked out to the pir in front of her room and looked to the python coiled around it, stroking
its glossy skin, "Yun''er, when the timees, it''ll be up to you to protect my family."
In this Su manor, if you really were to say family, then it should be Su Yun, Luo Bing, and Su Qingyu.
As for the others, she simply didn''t care whether they lived or died.
But if something really were to happen to Su Yun and Luo Bing, then it could only mean that there was
a spy in Su Yun''s army. And this spy, should be someone from the Jingguo Marquis manor.
At the same time, Murong Jingxuan received a message that there''s a spy in General Su''s army, and
that spy just happened to be one of the Fifth Prince''s subordinates. In other words, Su Yun and the
others could encounter an ambush on the way back to the capital.
"Are you certain its someone from the Fifth Prince?" Murong Jingxuan asked the ck python before
him in a low voice.
This ck python flickered its tongue like it was replying, "Yes, I''ve intercepted his letters many times."
With that said, the python spat out many envelopes.
However, when Murong Jingxuan opened the letters, he found that the one the spy wasmunicating
with was the current eldest son of the Jingguo Marquis manor. And in the letter, they''d actually
described in detail to steal away Su Yun''s military rights on their way back to the capital, and to kill him
without a trace.
After reading the letters, Murong Jingxuan threw a piece of high quality pork meat to the python. "I
recall wild animals roam the Forest of Buried Souls, seems they''ve yed quite a good game of
chess." He tightly clenched his fist.
"Master, should we let Shizi Consort know of this matter?" Suddenly, Fengshuang and Fengluo
appeared before him, "Or should we directly dispatch people to protect General Su and the others?"
"It''s not convenient for us to act. The Xuanjia army in my hands are not suited to be dispatched at this
time." Murong Jingxuan tapped the table as he contemted.
"Master, I know there''s a nest of pythons residing in the Forest of Buried Souls. They mainly devour
humans for food. If we can get them to help protect General Su, do you think it''ll work?" Fengshuang
nced to the python coiled to the side as he spoke.
