Chapter 85: Whose Plans and Schemes (Part 5)

"To this young brother, being so sneaky, does peeping still feel so good?"

These words, this voice.

Blossom's bright eyes narrowed swiftly.

Yun Mujing also walked in front of Su Rao, seeing the bashful young man's face, he indeed hadn't mistaken the person. It was indeed that...

"Seventh Prince, this young man was just passing by. Why does Seventh Prince like to catch this young man so much? My orientation is indeed normal. Although I look somewhat frail, I'm truly not a kept boy. Seventh Prince, why must you... Second Master Su, you come and judge for this young man. This young man really..."

These words suddenly came out, and Su Rao's gaze also fell appropriately on the gate of Yun Mansion.

Yun Mujing suddenly turned around to look, but there was no Second Master Su.

"Brat, you actually dare to play..."

Turning back, Su Rao had already vanished without a trace.

Being played like this, Yun Mujing's hands suddenly clenched into fists, a green vine.

"Daring to play this prince like this, very good."

As these words fell, a shadow chased after Su Rao.

Yun Mujing glanced at the direction the shadow left and took large steps to catch up.

Since Prince Yu had already left, Yun Mujing knew that Prince Jiyue was unharmed.

The anxiety in his heart naturally dissipated.

He had to catch this slippery brat. There was definitely something wrong with this person.

Su Rao flashed into an alley, knowing that the shadow was relentlessly chasing her. She continuously darted through various alleys, her speed leaving only a trail of afterimages, yet she couldn't shake off this shadow, which clung to her like a stubborn adhesive plaster.

The depths of Su Rao's eyes became increasingly entangled.

Soon, Yun Mujing caught up, and this shadow suddenly disappeared.

Without a trace of presence.

This kind of skill could only be done by the golden-robed secret guards raised by the imperial family.

The golden-robed secret guards were only responsible for the emperor's safety. He didn't expect Yun Yu to care about him, this son, so much.

Suddenly, Su Rao slowed down, a thin layer of coldness and chill suddenly appearing in her eyes. Gradually, it seemed as if she was running out of stamina, panting heavily and no longer running.

There was no more road ahead, blocked by a wall. It seemed she had run into a dead end.

"Brat, keep running!"

Yun Mujing caught up, and he didn't even have the slightest feeling of panting. Seeing Su Rao panting nonstop, he waved his hand, saying she couldn't go on, couldn't run anymore, and shouldn't be chased. He strode over and grabbed Su Rao's shoulder with great force. The strength was so great that Su Rao heard the sound of her bones cracking, a crisp snap, in the same spot again.

"Yun... Mu... Jing..."

A gritted-teeth sound.

This time, it was Su Rao's own voice.

Yun Mujing was immediately stunned.

Su Rao lifted her head. Because she had run for so long, her eyelids now had a circle of bright red color around them. Her blossom-like bright eyes were brilliantly highlighted. With just this pair of blossom eyes, Yun Mujing was directly stunned.

Even though it was such a strange, bashful young man's face.

Seeing this, Su Rao's eyes became dark and deep. Suddenly, she grabbed Yun Mujing's hand that was still on her shoulder and directly twisted it.

Another snap was heard, Yun Mujing's shoulder dislocated, and a muffled groan escaped him.

"Su...Rao..."

A layer of cold sweat on his forehead, Yun Mujing muttered these words softly.

Su Rao snorted coldly. "Yun Mujing, how many more times do you want to hurt me?"

Pushing him away, the hatred in her gaze when looking at Yun Mujing was easily detectable, mixed with a complexity, a murky and indiscernible complexity. Putting her hand on her own shoulder, Su Rao turned and walked away in large strides.

Yun Mujing staggered, barely managing to stand steady. He saw clearly the emotions in Su Rao's eyes. Dislocating his shoulder, he directly moved his hand with a snap, hearing another crack. It reset, and he shouted lowly,

"If you hate me, I can compensate you with my appearance..."

"Compensate." Su Rao stopped, turned around, and laughed coldly. "What do you compensate with? Can you afford to? With your face?"

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping the powder from her forehead directly, that ugly scar appeared, floating right there, glaringly conspicuous.

Our entire Qin dynasty's imperial clan, can you afford to compensate? You can't. Su Rao's life, even with just your face, you can't afford to compensate.

"Yun Mujing, you don't have the right to be angry, you have even less right to be angry. Su Rao has been dead for eight years, she died that night. Even if I make you feel guilty and remorseful for eighty more years, it won't make up for it. I want you to feel guilty, live with this guilt and pain."

Turning around, she continued walking.

Guilt... Remorse...

Yun Mujing held his shoulder, his gaze once again stunned. The scar that appeared in his eyes stabbed his heart, making it twitch. Seeing the young man's figure about to disappear from his sight, Yun Mujing suddenly called out again,

"A'rao, since you can still talk to me so much, Brother didn't actually lie to me."

Right?

Su RAO paused again, her eyes deep and unfathomable, a trace of coolness at the corner of her mouth, then she walked out of the alley and left as if she hadn't heard Yun Mujing's call or understood the meaning behind his words.

"You damn girl, your moves are so ruthless, your disguise is surprisingly skillful."

Rubbing his shoulder with a curse, the charm reappeared on Pan An's face.

Bone-painting, skin-painting, all done naturally.

The departing Su RAO from this alley stopped again in another alley.

Seeing Su Er blocking her path, she was filled with indifference, her aura calm and collected.

Su RAO was momentarily stunned.

Second Brother...

How long... how long had he been following her?

Su Er stared at her for a moment, said nothing, then walked over directly, bypassing Su RAO under her gaze and leaving.

Confused, Su RAO saw that Su Er was heading in the direction of Yun Mujing.

Realizing this, Su RAO hurriedly stepped forward to block Su Er.

"S... Second Brother..."

Su Er's footsteps halted.

The entire alleyway seemed to suddenly be burdened by heavy gravity, making Su RAO feel a brief difficulty in breathing, suppressing her to the point where she dared not take a deep breath.

"Is this what you mean by 'dislike'?"

A single rhetorical question, Su Er's gaze fell on the scar on Su RAO's forehead.

Su RAO understood the implication.

If she disliked Yun Mujing, how could she still be entangled with him like this, with such an ugly scar disfiguring her face, without learning her lesson?

Pressing her lips together.

Unable to explain, she could only fall silent.

...

The drifting snowflakes paused in the sky, this solar snowstorm stopping after just about an hour, the sun slanting low.

At the Free and Easy Abode, within the Joy Pavilion, Su RAO rubbed her temples, a sense of powerlessness rising between her brows once more.

"Second Brother said he wouldn't inquire about Little Sister's matters anymore, but Yun Mujing disfigured you..."

She remained silent. After leaving this sentence, Su Er didn't go to find Yun Mujing again, turning around and leaving. But Su RAO knew that with just this one sentence, Su Er wouldn't easily ignore this matter; he would certainly investigate...

Even though when Su Er left, she still revealed the complicated relationship between Su RAO and Yun Mujing, telling Su Er that it was just her childish playfulness and not solely Yun Mujing's fault, that she also bore responsibility.

These words weren't her defending Yun Mujing; she just didn't want Su Er to get involved in the complications with Yun Mujing because of Su RAO's affairs, and then be 'hurt' by Yun Mujing, for heart wounds were hard to heal, and even if they did, scars would remain.

"With such an expression, I've seen it countless times in just two days. Even during the previous incidents at the Lian Pavilion, you never looked so worried. Su RAO, no matter what happens, everything will be resolved eventually."

Joy Mother comfortingly patted Su RAO's shoulder.

Su RAO turned her eyes, lowering her soft hand from her temples, shaking her head. She was fine, she just suddenly felt a bit tired. The utterance of one lie required countless lies to cover up, especially when facing family...

But she was Qin RAO, not Su RAO. No matter how much she tried to be Su RAO, she was ultimately not the real Su RAO. This meant she couldn't have the truth, let alone speak the truth, she could only mix truth with falsehood.
