Yun ngyao glared at Qin Yi, not believing him at all.
"You're just talking nonsense." As she said this, Yun ngyao thought for a mont, "Do you an Li Shuangcheng's n are coming to kill ?"
Qin Yi chuckled, "Finally, a bit of intelligence."
"If soone's getting killed, it's you, not . I'm living with the Princess, and no matter how audacious Li Shuangcheng is, he wouldn't dare touch the Princess, right?"
Qin Yi laughed, "He won't kill because he's unsure about it. But he's definitely sending people to kill you. Don't forget that you killed those few scoundrels and embarrassed Li Shuangcheng, forcing him to swallow his defeat."
Yun ngyao was about to speak when two figures suddenly jumped onto the roof.
Yun ngyao was startled, thinking that the assassins had indeed co. Unexpectedly, it was Yun Susu and Jin Die.
"Isn't the Third Princess asleep yet?" Yun ngyao asked casually.
Yun Susu replied, "We heard noises on the roof, thought to check, and found Miss Yun and Mr. Qin here."
Yun ngyao noticed Yun Susu's ambiguous gaze. She was montarily stunned before realizing that the Princess might think she and Qin Yi were having a secret affair. She quickly explained, "Don't get the wrong idea, it's not what you think. This guy snuck onto my roof."
Qin Yi was too lazy to explain as he found it unnecessary.
Yun Susu laughed, "I didn't misunderstand, but why is Miss Yun so flustered?"
"Am I flustered? I'm not, just worried you might misunderstand."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes. This woman was really overreacting, making it worse the more she explained.
"Why is Mr. Qin not resting at this hour?" Yun Susu initiated a conversation with Qin Yi.
Qin Yi pointed to the moon, nonchalantly uttering two words, "Moon-gazing."
Yun Susu's gaze dimd slightly; Qin Yi was clearly making an excuse, too lazy even to converse with her.
Yun ngyao saw Yun Susu's embarrassnt and glared at Qin Yi, this ungentlemanly man, so petty.
"Princess, actually. Qin Yi is worried there might be assassins tonight, so he's here to protect us."
Yun Susu showed an understanding expression but disagreed with Yun ngyao's words; Qin Yi wasn't here to protect them but to protect Yun ngyao.
However, Qin Yi was exceptionally smart, and if he ntioned assassins, it definitely wasn't without reason.
Jin Die comnted, "Mr. Qin might be overthinking. Li Shuangcheng wouldn't harm the Princess in the slightest. We live together, and assassins wouldn't dare co."
Qin Yi stayed silent, too lazy to explain.
Yun ngyao said, "I just ntioned the sa thing, yet this guy refuses to believe."
Qin Yi looked at her, "You're not a Princess, so it's better to be cautious. If I were Li Shuangcheng, I'd hire soone to disguise as soone from the Tianyue Empire to kill you. After all, both you and I are wanted by the Tianyue Empire. If Tianyue's assassins pursue us, no one would suspect anything."
"Li Shuangcheng isn't as sinister as you," Yun ngyao retorted.
"Three unskilled hands can outwit Zhuge Liang. Li Shuangcheng might not think of this, but his strategist Zhang Cheng certainly would."
Yun ngyao looked at Qin Yi and suddenly giggled, patting Qin Yi's shoulder, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Qin to keep watch while I go rest. I've been so busy running around these days, I need a good break, or my skin will suffer. I didn't bring many face masks, gotta use them sparingly."
Qin Yi: "..."
This woman really is peculiar, even bringing face masks to the Primordial world.
But honestly, Yun ngyao's skin is incredibly smooth and fair, she hardly needs masks. But spending too much ti on Earth, this woman's learned the tricks of squandering, and with Xia Yanbing pampering her, she spends money like water, a million gone in two days at her fastest.
"Then I'll head to bed too." Qin Yi stood up.
Yun ngyao grabbed him, "You can't leave! What if the assassins really co when you're gone?"
"But you didn't believe assassins would co?"
"Better safe than sorry. Besides, if you're free, continue your moon-gazing. You secretly admire , so I'm giving you this chance to get close and protect ."
Qin Yi: "..."
"You're truly shaless, how do you manage to say such things?"
Yun ngyao was not upset; she chuckled, "Learned from you. This is what's called being influenced by those around you. Isn't that right, Qin Momo?"
Qin Momo?
Qin Yi's nose almost crooked in anger.
"Oops, I think Qin Momo suits you well, haha... From now on, I'll call you Qin Momo."
Qin Yi was fuming.
Yun Susu and Jin Die were utterly baffled because they often couldn't make sense of what Yun ngyao and Qin Yi were conversing about. Their conversations were always weird – what's with three unskilled hands outwit Zhuge Liang? Who's Zhuge Liang? And what's close to ink turns black, close to vermilion? This Chang'e? They were totally puzzled.
Yun Susu even suspected if these two were from their world; otherwise, why were their chats so odd?
Little did she know, she guessed right; Qin Yi wasn't from their world.
"I'm off to get my beauty sleep." Yun ngyao yawned; she was truly tired.
"Go sleep. Be careful when you enter your room—the assassin might be lurking at the door, waiting to ambush you as you enter. Also, be cautious going to bed; there might be assassins hiding in your bed," Qin Yi said calmly.
Yun ngyao was exasperated, glaring at Qin Yi, "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"I'm only concerned about your safety."
"Thank you and your entire family."
"You're welco! Look, the assassins are here."
Yun ngyao quickly looked up, following Qin Yi's gaze, but after a long while saw nothing, angrily punched Qin Yi, "Are you insane? Ca sneaking onto my roof at night just to scare for fun."
Qin Yi rubbed the spot where Yun ngyao punched him, "They say won are made of water, you must be made of concrete with how rough you hit. It's not that I'm scaring you, it's that you can't see because you're too weak. Three, two, one... here they co."
As soon as Qin Yi finished speaking, a few figures indeed jumped over the courtyard wall, landing in the middle.
Yun ngyao, Yun Susu, Jin Die, all three won were stunned, thinking Qin Yi was just scaring Yun ngyao, but the assassins actually showed up.
Seven ca in total, all strong cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm.
They didn't notice Qin Yi on the roof because the shadow of the courtyard tree happened to cast just over the roof, hiding Qin Yi and the others.
"Damn, they really dared to co, thinking I'm easy to bully? Don't go kill Qin Momo, who deserves it, but co bully a weak girl like ? If you leave here alive, I won't carry the Yun surna anymore." Yun ngyao rolled up her sleeves, ready to jump down.
