Chapter 136 You Lied to Me Again
When Xin Moyan and Hua Buyu went out, it was almost noon. After spending most of the day together, it was now evening, and the sky was full of red clouds.
Yuan Huaixuan put on the phoenix mask again, appearing in black robes and a silver mask. Although Xin Moyan didn't quite understand why he did this, she didn't ask him, nor did she want to talk to him. She just walked ahead of him, sulking, and stomped down the stairs.
He saw it all, and followed behind her calmly, a gentle, indulgent smile always playing on his lips.
Once downstairs, Xin Moyan turned around and said very politely, "Your Highness, where did you take Buyu? It's getting late, and I want to go find her quickly."
"Yan'er, Hua Buyu is alright for now."
"Whether she is alright or not, I need to see her to know. Your Highness, please don't waste time, take me to her quickly!"
Xin Moyan frowned deeply, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
Seeing her so worried, Yuan Huaixuan decided not to argue with her any further. He gestured to a secluded spot, and immediately a man led out a black horse.
"Yan'er, it will be faster to go by horse."
"Your Highness, but I can't ride a horse. Is that place very far? Aren't there any carriages?"
He walked up to her, reached out and pinched Xin Moyan's cheek, but not hard, and said in a low voice, "Yan'er, remember, you can't call me 'Your Highness' when I look like this."
"Slap!" Xin Moyan slapped hard, and several red marks appeared on the back of his hand before he let go.
"Then what should I call him? Young Master Xuanyuan?"
"Let's talk later, let's go!" This time he didn't give Xin Moyan a chance to refuse, took her wrist with his large hand, and walked straight to the front of the horses.
“Young Master Wang, I really can’t ride a horse, and there’s only one, not enough for me.” Xin Moyan turned her wrist, seemingly reluctant to get close to the large animal.
"Don't be afraid, Yan'er, I'm here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a hand suddenly appeared around Xin Moyan's waist, and a force subtly seeped into her entire body. Was this internal energy?
He pulled her tightly into his arms, and before she could react, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were sitting steadily on the horse.
"Ah!" The sudden feeling of being lifted into the air made her cry out instinctively. When she looked again, she realized that her legs were clamped between the horse's body and her hands were empty. She felt very insecure!
"Yan'er, don't be afraid, hold onto the reins." The man behind her reached out his large hands, gently slipped them around her waist, and pulled her into his arms. He then held her wrists and taught her to grip the reins tightly.
In fact, Junjing Pavilion is not far from Yunxiang Tower. Someone just wanted to spend a little more time alone with her. In addition, Hua Buyu's punishment time had not yet come, so he let him and Yan'er take a stroll around first.
"Yan'er, squeeze your legs tightly against the horse's belly. If you can't hold onto the reins, grab my hand."
He spoke almost right next to her ear, and she could even feel the man's burning body temperature and breath. Xin Moyan nervously swallowed.
"Yan'er, are you ready?"
"drive!"
"I haven't... Ah!"
Upon hearing the command, the horse neighed loudly, raised its head, and galloped forward at full speed...
Xin Moyan felt as if she were riding on clouds, bumping and rushing forward. Apart from screaming, she could only keep shrinking into the large body behind her. It was really terrifying!
His chin rested on Xin Moyan's shoulder, and as he felt her getting closer, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a handsome and triumphant smile.
Yuan Huaixuan deliberately avoided the crowded streets, instead strolling slowly along the less-traveled alleys, at a pace even slower than a carriage…
Xin Moyan's nervousness gradually subsided, and she realized this as well. She turned her head and asked him in confusion, "Young Master Wang, didn't you say that riding a horse is faster?"
"Yes, this path is rugged and uneven. If you walk fast, you will inevitably feel bumpy. I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable."
"Oh! How much longer do we have to walk? And where are we going?"
"Junjing Pavilion".
“…Say it again.”
"Junjing Pavilion".
Xin Moyan's vision went black; she was about to erupt like a volcano, but unfortunately, she was still on horseback.
"Yuan Huaixuan! You lied to me again!"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
She was breathing heavily, extremely angry, and roared, "Is Junjing Pavilion that far from Yunxiang Tower? It's on South Street. If I had walked, I would have gotten there by now. You brought me to this godforsaken place. It's already dark."
"Yan'er, I just want to spend more time with you."
His slightly serious tone startled Xin Moyan, who subconsciously turned her face to look at him. Although the moonlight was hazy and the empty path was dimly lit, how could there be starlight twinkling in his radiant eyes?
In an instant, that fluttering feeling inexplicably surged back into her heart, and it beat faster and faster. In the silence between them, even Yuan Huaixuan could hear her rapid and chaotic heartbeat.
"Yan'er~" he called out again, his voice even deeper and more mellow, as if he wanted to see into the very bones of the woman before him.
The horse beneath them continued to walk slowly, their breaths almost touching. Through the mask, his clear, deep eyes were so tender they seemed to overflow with water. Xin Moyan inevitably fell into his damnably affectionate gaze.
"Yan'er, your heart is beating so fast!"
"I...no way!" Xin Moyan hurriedly lowered her head, then turned her head to look straight ahead, not daring to look at him again.
"Hehe~ Yan'er's heart is beating fast, and her stomach is growling loudly. She must be hungry now, right?"
"Nothing to do with you!"
The two were chatting idly when suddenly a series of rustling sounds came from the corner, and several shadowy figures flashed by.
"and many more!"
Even the slightest noise couldn't escape his ears. He quickly steered the horse, tightened the reins, and the black horse immediately came to a stop on the path.
"what's wrong?"
Before Xin Moyan could finish her question, a large group of masked assassins in black suddenly appeared from behind and behind, each exuding murderous intent and wielding long swords and sharp knives.
"Your Highness, it's a robbery!" Xin Moyan grabbed his sleeve nervously. There were at least twenty or so of them. Although she had witnessed Yuan Huaixuan's skills, the ratio of the few to the many was just too disparate!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He whispered a comforting word, his eyes suddenly turning cold, a hint of bloodlust flashing in them. He exuded an immense aura of ferocity as he stared menacingly at the assassin before him.
With a loud 'boom,' all the assassins surged forward, brandishing their sharp blades and charging at them, their blades gleaming coldly and radiating killing intent.
"Yan'er, sit still." He shoved the reins into her hand, then leaped into the air and began fighting the group with his bare hands. His movements were fierce and swift, and in an instant, several of them had been knocked to the ground.
Xin Moyan sat on the horse, not daring to move, and couldn't understand the moves. She felt like she was watching a 3D martial arts movie, which was too exciting!
"Yan'er, be careful!"
