Chapter 511: Chapter 255: This Girl Is Pretty Bold

The horse galloped like an arrow leaving the bowstring, and Su Qianxue stared intently at the figure ahead, afraid to lose him in the blink of an eye.

If she lost him, she would really be spending the night alone in this desolate wilderness.

Thinking of this, a wave of annoyance surged in Su Qianxue’s heart, and her resentment skyrocketed.

She was such a big, living person, yet that guy acted as if he didn’t see her, passing by without slowing down, not even giving her a glance, is this how a human would behave?

In a place like this, normally when you encounter a traveler, even if you don’t know them, you should slow down and take a few good looks, right?

That guy really is a weirdo.

"Clip-clop, clip-clop..."

While she was lost in thought, the sound of hoofbeats reached her ears again, and a young man in black clothes galloped past her on horseback, turning his head curiously to look at her.

"Miss, are you alone?"

After a few glances, the young man took the initiative to start a conversation with her.

Su Qianxue was slightly startled, looking down at her men’s attire. Indeed, this face, even in men’s clothing, easily betrayed her femininity.

Wait, why is there someone else here?

Su Qianxue suddenly realized something, turning her head subconsciously to look at the young man deliberately keeping pace with her.

So, it turns out Yun Wanchen isn’t the only one around here. She thought it was just him since he was the only one she saw before.

But clearly, it wasn’t just Yun Wanchen, and yet, the system never mentioned this person at all, not even in the shared location feature. He must be that "unremarkable, no need to report" NPC according to the system.

With this in mind, she raised an eyebrow and replied slowly, her voice carrying an undetectable hint of probing.

"Yes, are you by yourself too?"

The young man smiled slightly, shaking his head, "No, the young master in front was my young master."

It was inconvenient to reveal Yun Wanchen’s real identity while traveling to avoid any unforeseen trouble, so Cang Yan simply referred to him as the young master.

He was naturally accompanying Yun Wanchen, but Yun Wanchen rode faster, and sometimes on the road, they were together, while other times he inevitably lagged behind.

Indeed, Su Qianxue’s eyebrows moved subtly, confirming Cang Yan’s identity in her heart and forming a new plan.

Since Yun Wanchen ignored her, she would just follow this person, as long as she wasn’t alone overnight, it would be fine.

Moreover, as long as she followed this person, she would meet Yun Wanchen sooner or later.

Thinking of Yun Wanchen, Su Qianxue turned her head to look ahead.

That brief glimpse just now had piqued her interest in her former fiancé even more, yet unfortunately, the dust had long settled ahead, and no trace of him was visible.

Sigh~

Su Qianxue sighed inwardly, not even sure what she was brooding about.

Seeing her suddenly go silent, Cang Yan continued the conversation, "Where are you headed, young lady?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It was rare to encounter a living soul in such a place, so running into a lone woman was indeed quite novel, and he was really curious.

This young lady was quite charming. Although dressed in men’s clothing, it couldn’t hide her femininity, so wasn’t she afraid of getting targeted by bad people while traveling alone?

He had to admit, this lady was quite bold.

Su Qianxue’s eyes shifted slightly, replying with a seemingly meaningful tone, "I’m going to Dingbei Pass to visit relatives. What about you? Where are you headed?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Yan’s eyebrows slightly moved, a flash of surprise quickly crossing his eyes.

What a coincidence!

This young lady’s destination coincided with theirs, making their meeting on the same road unsurprising.

"I see!"

Cang Yan chuckled lightly, casually brushing off the question, "As for us, I don’t know. Wherever the young master goes, I just follow, after all, it’s better as subordinates not to pry into the master’s affairs."

Though the other party seemed like a harmless and beautiful woman, he didn’t drop his guard and had no intention of revealing Yun Wanchen’s whereabouts.

In all the calculations, the only oversight was that their young master’s identity and destination had already been known to her.

Su Qianxue curled her lips, showing no trace of displeasure on her face, but inwardly cursed the young man thoroughly.

This lad seemed quite enthusiastic, but unexpectedly, he was also a cunning fellow with not a single truthful word coming out of his mouth.

If she were to get close to him, she might be sold off and not even know it.

"You’re right."

She replied nonchalantly and then fell silent, so as not to heighten the boy’s vigilance, making it unrealistic to travel together with him.

The sky gradually darkened, the temperature dropping steadily, and deep within the woods, a flickering firelight could be seen.

"Young Master~"

Seeing the firelight, the young man in black suddenly became excited, cheering joyfully, and then galloped off towards it without casting a glance at the beauty beside him.

Su Qianxue pulled on the reins and stopped, raising an eyebrow as she watched the young man gallop away, clicking her tongue inwardly.

Although he seemed warm by striking up conversations with her along the way, his behavior was without any overstepping, and his gaze held no awe or infatuation whatsoever.

This face of hers, even among women, would cause astonishment and awe, so how could a normal man remain indifferent?

Thinking back to the young man’s excitement upon seeing his young master, Su Qianxue couldn’t help but suspect, did he have issues with his orientation?

Could it be that the first young master of Haojing was not only attracting women but men too?

She patted the horse’s back lightly, and the horse obediently carried her toward the firelight, her eyes fixed in that direction all the while.

The mysterious veil was about to be lifted, filling her heart with anticipation.

"Young Master, I encountered a strange woman on the road who’s also heading to Dingbei Pass, you must have seen her, right?"

Hearing the approaching hoofbeats, Cang Yan drew closer to Yun Wanchen, whispering gently in his ear.

That young lady shared their destination. When they met, it was almost dark, the mountain paths were rugged, not suitable for traveling at night, they would inevitably stay overnight.

Today, they couldn’t shake off that young lady, and even if they wanted to, they could only do so tomorrow. Therefore, Cang Yan reported in advance to prepare their princely heir mentally.

"Yes, ignore her."

Yun Wanchen responded indifferently.

He was naturally aloof, uninterested in strangers, as long as people didn’t seek trouble, he pretended they didn’t exist.

"Oh."

Cang Yan touched his nose, responding awkwardly.

Thinking about his previous conversation attempts, he felt a wave of guilt. If the princely heir knew he had struck up a conversation with a stranger, inviting her to follow, who knew if he’d be angry?

Sigh, truthfully, it wasn’t entirely his fault that the young lady followed.

He had clearly heard her calling the princely heir loudly, chasing after him, so surely, even if he hadn’t spoken to her, she would have caught up to converse with the princely heir.

Meeting a living soul in such a place would make anyone enthusiastic, wouldn’t it? It’s just their princely heir who was naturally cold and peculiar.
