Imperial Treasure
Chapter 1266 - 733: Shang Xiuxun (Part 2)
But she glanced at Sui Yi and then at Wu Xie, her heart skipped a beat, are they really a couple?
Although they’re both Great Grandmasters, and they make a handsome pair, somehow it feels off to her...
Is it because Mr. Sui is dressed as a man now, giving off a Long Yang vibe... That’s not good, is it~~
Besides, you two have no chemistry, seriously, none!
Dugu Mingyue pulled Du Gourou aside and approached them, laughing heartily: "We just came to see if the Morton Tribe has arranged Mr. Sui’s accommodations properly... If there’s anything inconvenient, please do let us know, we siblings are more than willing to swap."
Only then did Sui Yi understand their intent, worried that she and Wu Xie sharing a room might not be proper?
She hadn’t thought about this before.
Thinking about it now, Wu Xie has a wife, so sharing a room with her is indeed inappropriate.
"Yeah, yeah, I can swap with Wu Xie..." Du Gourou nodded eagerly, enthusiastically volunteering...
Wait a minute, considering it’s a male-female issue.
Aren’t you a man?
Dugu Mingyue slapped him and said seriously: "I’ll swap... If Wu Xie is willing."
Du Gourou: This is not fair! Shouldn’t you be supporting me, sister?
Dugu Mingyue: Supporting you in what?
Du Gourou: I’ve finally taken a liking to a girl...
Dugu Mingyue: Then you better keep liking boys.
Du Gourou: ....
Dealing with the fact that her Long Yang brother was made straight because of Sui Yi, Dugu Mingyue has mixed feelings. She’s glad her brother is not crooked anymore; soon she won’t have to call a man "sister-in-law" or "brother-in-law"... What a delightful relief!
But she’s worried her brother’s taste is annoyingly high; he has set his sights on a woman who would never like him, even if all the men in the world died...
However, she knows her brother is a coward; he wouldn’t dare pursue Sui Yi, only wants to get close to her...
Dugu Mingyue’s imagination was a bit blank... She stared straight at Sui Yi, thinking this Mr. Sui indeed has an aura that makes people want to get closer.
Sui Yi: Why did you zone out while talking?
Wu Xie glanced at the silly brother and sister pair, who were physically present but mentally elsewhere, all while staring fascinatedly at Sui Yi.
"I’ll stand watch outside, won’t enter the tent."
Du Gourou: Although it’s quite embarrassing, it’s actually great.
Dugu Mingyue: Uncle Sheng shouldn’t find out about this, otherwise he’d force a Great Grandmaster to sleep outdoors...
It’s not really forcing Wu Xie; given his strong principles, he wouldn’t share a tent with Sui Yi anyway. He would stand guard outside, whether these siblings were here or not, and Sui Yi knew his character, so she didn’t persuade further. After all, the cold nights are nothing to Grandmasters like them.
Night fell quickly.
Inside the tent, the stove was lit, and oil lamps from the Central Plains were hung up, making it bright and warm, a stark contrast to the freezing cold outside.
Sui Yi sat on a blanket, sipping freshly brewed butter tea, her Magnetic Sensation probing outside, but Wu Xie was nowhere to be seen. He was used to disappearing mysteriously, and though they sort of had a collaborative understanding, their actions were not restricted by each other, so Sui Yi never asked what he was up to...
The Magnetic Sensation continued to seep out, exploring the surrounding Mongolian yurts, which seemed occupied by outsiders like themselves, mostly Central Plains People...
When Sui Yi was at the racetrack today, she observed that Shi Feixuan and her companion weren’t there; if they hadn’t arrived yet or were hiding away...
Sui Yi’s Magnetic Sensation drifted outward, spreading towards the Morton Tribe people, gradually reaching the center, which is said to be where the Morton Family’s core members reside, including the Clan Leader.
Who can defend against the existence of the Magnetic Sensation?
Unseen, Sui Yi approached the largest Mongolian yurt.
As it happened, amidst the darkness, someone in a dark cloak was being respectfully led by Karisuo towards the yurt.
The curtain lifted, and inside, a voice said: "You’re late..."
The curtain fell.
Just as Sui Yi was about to let the Magnetic Sensation penetrate.
It was blocked.
An invisible force blocked it!
Sui Yi’s eyes paused slightly, was it the Statue of the Gods or...
Was it because of the Black-robed Man or the Chief Morton?
Sui Yi didn’t withdraw the Magnetic Sensation but set down her teacup.
Her Magnetic Sensation wasn’t entirely unable to penetrate inside, the resistance wasn’t infinite, considering the distance. If she went there herself, she could infiltrate it with the Magnetic Sensation.
Sui Yi turned off the tent’s lights, leaving only the faint glow of the stove, and silently slipped out like a shadow.
Not only could Sui Yi perfectly avoid patrols, but even if she encountered them, her speed would let her pass by silently...
However, Sui Yi didn’t dare underestimate the people inside the first Mongolian yurt; she restrained all signs upon nearing, coming to the back of the yurt. Its thick, heavy wall was made of numerous layers of sturdy canvas and wooden frames, very solid but heavy. Sui Yi stood outside the wall, pressing her palm against it, her Magnetic Sensation slowly seeping in...
Gradually, she saw the flickering light.
Inside the tent, two figures came into view, clear as day.
The Black-robed Man had shed his cloak, revealing his true form.
Liew Baiyi.
Towards this person, Sui Yi harbored a killing intent.
But now, she couldn’t act.
From the moment Sui Yi saw Liew Baiyi enter the tent to reaching there herself, only a few breaths had passed.
It seemed they had skipped the formalities.
"How’s the situation above? Did it succeed?"
The person seated at the main position inside asked.
Liew Baiyi undid his cloak’s belt, looking at the person. (To be continued. If you enjoy this story, please visit Qidian.com for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
