Chapter 90: Mo Linyuan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

She was wearing a sky-blue dress and a goose-yellow cloak. She looked so beautiful that the moon hid her face and flowers blushed. Her deer-like eyes were watery, reflecting the scenery of this mountain. It was unknown if her pink cheeks were natural or if they had been lined by the rouge clouds.

Mo Linyuan looked at the woman holding the flowers with interest and did not speak.

Bai Xianyu was stunned for a moment. She looked at the water stains on his wide sleeve that were drenched by the dew of the petals.

There was also a way down the mountain in this peach blossom forest. It seemed that this man wanted to go up the mountain. She had blocked his path and accidentally dirtied his clothes.

“I’m sorry.” She called Green Pearl over. “Green Pearl, get a handkerchief for this young master to wipe.”

Green Pearl was still busy picking flowers. When she heard this, she turned around and was instantly stunned.

This man was too handsome.

She had always felt that wearing bright yellow was tacky, but this man actually exuded an indescribable noble aura.

His thick eyebrows were raised, and his phoenix eyes were stern. His eyes were slightly raised, and he looked like he was smiling.

“Green Pearl.”

Bai Xianyu shouted again. Green Pearl came back to her senses and immediately took out a handkerchief from her pocket in a hurry.

Bai Xianyu smiled and reminded her, “It’s in the sleeve.”

Green Pearl was a little embarrassed. She took a handkerchief for the man to dab the patch of water on the man’s sleeve.

Mo Linyuan did not move. He just stood there and let her maid wipe him.

“It’s just a little dew. It’s nothing.”

Bai Xianyu’s lips curled up slightly, and her gaze immediately landed on the petals under his feet. It had not been easy for her to select them, but with a gust of wind, they all fell to the ground.

Mo Linyuan saw the heartache in her eyes and the smile on his lips deepened. “Miss, are you feeling sorry for these flowers?”

Bai Xianyu did not expect him to ask such a question, but she did not think it was an unanswerable question.

“Yeah.”

“Then why don’t 1 help Miss choose a few flowers?” He smiled slowly.

In another hidden location.

Xie Xingyun, Xiao Zheng, and Bai Li stared at the man in front of them.

Martial arts practitioners like them had good hearing. Bai Xianyu’s conversation with him was clearly transmitted to their ears.

Xie Xingyun stared at him with undisguised scrutiny in his eyes. His cold white fingers, which were hugging the scabbard, tapped on the hilt of the sword from time to time.

Xiao Zheng stole a glance at his master. He kept feeling that this calm expression was the rhythm of a storm.

But to his surprise.

Xie Xingyun’s body moved half an inch forward, and then stopped. He slowly leaned against the tree trunk.

He raised his eyelids slightly to hide the deep and heavy disappointment in his eyes.

Bai Xianyu and the man’s conversation reached his ears.

He had stood here for two hours. His clothes were also wet from the dew, and the wound on his back hurt.

If she still liked him, her heart would probably ache.

She would ask him if it hurt in a voice that was a hundred times sweeter than this.

But now… she resisted him.

She did not want to see him.

It was rare for her to be in such a good mood to pick flowers to brew wine.

If he appeared, it would probably make her unhappy.

Bai Xianyu was a little surprised by this unfamiliar man’s words. “There’s no need. I was the one who accidentally messed up Young Master’s appearance. Young Master, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Mo Linyuan did not force her. He only raised his amorous eyes and looked at her with a burning gaze. He smiled and said, “Miss looks very familiar. It’s fate today. This peach blossom had fallen on me, perhaps, we might meet again in the future.”

With that, he spread his sleeves, leaving the two people who were stunned behind, and left with a smile.

However, when he brushed past Bai Xianyu, he raised his phoenix eyes slightly and accurately met a pair of long and narrow peach blossom eyes.

It was cold and calm, but it also seemed to contain extreme restraint.

Mo Linyuan’s gaze froze for a moment before he suddenly chuckled.

“… Things are starting to get interesting.”

After the man left, Green Pearl turned around and looked at her Miss who was focused on picking flowers. She held her chest and said, “Miss, you are really calm. I used to think that the Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor was already handsome and unparalleled. 1 didn’t expect that there would be someone who could be called a demon.”

“Demon?”

Bai Xianyu thought about it seriously. She felt that Xie Xingyun was even more handsome than the person just now, but his indifferent and distant aura made people shy away from him, making him look aristocratic and unapproachable.

However, that person was smiling. There was a warm smile on his lips, as if his expression would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

One who was humane would not hit a smiling person. This kind of man was quite pleasing to the little girl.

“That’s right, Miss. You didn’t even blink when you met such a demonic man. No wonder you weren’t even moved when the Young Marquis of the Xie Family chased after you like this.”

Green Pearl said sincerely.

Previously, when she found out that the person who kidnapped Miss was the Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor, she was very surprised. People in the capital often said that the Young Marquis of the Xie Family was noble and cold, but looking at his actions, it seemed that he wanted to get Miss but failed.

Bai Xianyu fell silent. She had really fallen for him once in the past.

Unfortunately, she had fallen too hard.

She had always been afraid of pain.

The two of them picked the moist flower petals and walked towards the mountainside.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Bai Xianyu got some clear lake water and asked a guard to buy some sugar, glutinous rice, and also some wine yeast from the farmers at the foot of the mountain.

After the guard bought the items, Bai Xianyu looked at him dressed as a commoner and asked, “Have you done what I asked you to do this morning?”

The guard nodded.

“Then continue tomorrow.”

Now, many dignitaries had also come here to offer incense. Emperor Wu Xuan was a militant, but he believed in Buddhism. He had even built a large-scale shrine to welcome Buddha bone relics. Therefore, the people became more and more fanatic about it.

The guard bowed. “Yes, Miss.”

Green Pearl was a little worried. “Miss, if your brothers find out, would they be angry?”

Bai Xianyu raised her eyebrows. “No.”

Green Pearl was worried like an old mother. “Miss is still young. If this news spreads, I’m afraid it’ll be too late when you regret it in the future.”

Bai Xianyu’s gaze was firm. “Since 1 did it, I won’t regret it.”

Green Pearl could only give up. “In that case, I’ll go and boil some water for you to take your bath.”

Bai Xianyu nodded and lowered her head to choose the peach blossoms. She washed them bit by bit, and the clear lake water flowed through her fingers with a sweet fragrance.

After running them through the water, Bai Xianyu wanted to get someone to bring another bucket of water. When she looked up, Xie Xingyun had been standing outside the arched door for an unknown period of time. His dark eyes were as deep as the night, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.

Bai Xianyu stopped what she was doing and subconsciously frowned.

Xie Xingyun avoided her gaze and slowly walked past her with his sword in his right hand.

Bai Xianyu thought that he was going to say something again.

But he went straight back into the house.

She was a little surprised, but she did not care.

The next day, Bai Xianyu buried a few wine jars under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard.

She also added some wine. This way, she could take them out half a month later to sample before she leaves.

She would bring the rest back to her brothers..
