13 Chapter 13

Looking at the devilishly beautiful face of the man inside her carriage, Tang Kexin sighed inwardly. Wasn't he one of those people who were supposed to be already down the mountain? Why was he here and what was he doing inside her carriage? Also, when did he get into her carriage without her noticing?

Beside, Mu Shaoyi was also present just now, and yet did not make any indication that he had noticed the presence of this man inside her carriage. This man was dangerous, indeed. And facing this sort of man, Tang Kexin wouldn't dare act rashly without giving some thought.

She was certain that her ability was nothing to overpower the man's prowess nor thwart whatever tricks he would intend to carry out. Therefore, the only thing she could do at the moment was to hold her horses and wait for him to make his move, then act accordingly from there.

Tang Kexin stood in the carriage. She did not enter, nor did she retreat. She did not speak, nor make any sounds.

The corners of Nangong Yi's lips curled up, his pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes flashed a smile but not a smile. Looking over, he seemed to be a man who could captivate and beguile one's soul and emotion.

Even someone as indifferent and composed as her still felt that she was dazzled at this moment. This man was menacing and enchanting at the same time, who could possibly stop him?

While waiting for the man to act, Tang Kexin was toying with the idea that if everything came to worst, she might as well 'fall for' him. Pretend to be obsessed with his beauty, and intoxicated with his charm, then she wouldn't need to spend any effort to deal with him.

"So Miss Tang is not stupid." The magnetic voice slowly drifted over. It was especially pleasing to the ears, but said it assertively that there was no way she could disprove.

Tang Kexin pulled back her thoughts, dispelling those wild and unrestrained thoughts from her face. She replied in a calm voice, "Grandmaster Hui Yuan cured me."

"Is that so? A fool who has just been cured can be so calm and steady, and can even use poison to perfection?" He obviously didn't believe her, nor did he give her the chance to refute.

Tang Kexin's eyes slightly narrowed. Now she knew that this man had seen everything that had transpired earlier. Perhaps what he had seen was not only what had just happened, but also what had occurred in the Meditation Hall earlier this morning, so she did not want to explain any further. The more she explained, the more it seemed like a cover up. A man like him was not so easily deceived.

"Why did the City Lord suddenly appear in my carriage? It can't be just to ask me if I'm stupid or not, right? " Tang Kexin didn't understand why he would suddenly appear in her carriage. Was it due to a sudden whim? Or? Thinking back to that night, Tang Kexin's heart secretly trembled. Could the man from that night be him?

Since he asked directly, she might as well ask directly as well. Whether it was true or false, whether it was living or dead, this was something to be happy about.

"I don't have a carriage, so walking down the mountain is too tiring. May I have Miss Tang drive me back?" He suddenly stopped his interrogating tone, and his lazy posture became more cynical. The corner of his mouth slowly raised upwards, and his half smile instantly bloomed. It was bright and dazzling, causing people to stare blankly.

Tang Kexin's mouth twitched. He, the dignified City Lord, didn't have a carriage? She just asked so straightforwardly. It was indeed crafty to be here to feign ignorance and play around with others.

"If you don't mind, my Lord, will you please get off?" At this moment, Tang Kexin really wanted to slap his smile away. Was it really okay to grin like that when there was nothing amusing?

"My Lady, I don't feel like getting off." Nangong Yi decisively replied while wearing his resplendent smile.

Tang Kexin couldn't help but felt a bit annoyed. Could this person's skin be any thicker?

"The sun is shining and the scenery is beautiful. The mountains and rivers look like that of the paintings. Dong'er, let's take a stroll." Tang Kexin ignored him and turned around, intending to jump down from the carriage. Okay, if he doesn't want to get out, then she'll get out.

"Oh…" Dong'er answered in a daze, as if she was lost in thought.

"Really, it would be my pleasure to carry Miss Tang inside the carriage. She's so beautiful as a goddess, with a soft fragrance as a bouquet of roses, soft as a spring worthy of my embrace…" Nangong Yi leaned against the carriage, looking at her with his alluring peach blossom eyes, and his smile became even more radiant. His words sounded casual, but they carried a hint of meaning within them.
