164 Qiong Qi, Follow Her
Beiting Huang narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at the osmanthus tree in the corner of the courtyard. It was the middle of the night, and the City Lord’s Mansion was arranging for people to stay overnight. Qin Yu was going to settle down with the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, while Mu Yang personally helped Beiting Huang arrange a room. They all left first. Only Beiting Huang wanted to be alone, so she stayed behind.
The wine in her glass had already been emptied. Beiting Huang placed the empty glass on the bench under the wisteria shelf and shouted at the osmanthus tree, “Since you’re here, come out!”
Qiong Qi was shocked. He had only been standing there for a few breaths, but Beiting Huang had already discovered him. Moreover, she noticed him as soon as he arrived. A Heaven-ranked Spirit Master’s whereabouts were revealed in front of a Great Spirit Master. Qiong Qi was extremely depressed.
“I say, do you have to be so sharp? Were you born to go against people?” Qiong Qi came forward unhappily. He still looked Beiting Huang up and down dutifully and asked her, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Beiting Huang was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled happily. “Did His Highness the Night King ask you to come and see me?”
“That’s right! What else do you think?” Qiong Qi casually sat down on the long corridor. “You encountered a powerful character that alarmed the divine sense that Master left on your weapon. If Master didn’t have something urgent to attend to, he would have come over himself.”
As expected, it was Yan Ye. A scorching warmth spread throughout Beiting Huang’s body. Her heart felt like it was soaking in hot spring water. She touched her nose and said, “He’s not a powerful character. I was careless and was almost plotted against.”
“It’s good that you know. On this mainland, regardless of strength or background, whoever survives till the end will be the biggest winner.” Qiong Qi imparted its experience generously.
Beiting Huang laughed when she heard that. She went forward and patted Qiong Qi’s shoulder. “Qiong Qi, you’re really smart!”
The two of them had fought and became friends. Qiong Qi especially liked this young man who was not of a high level yet was not weak. He immediately put his arm around Beiting Huang’s shoulder and hugged him fiercely to express his concern for him.
“Of course, are you joking? Why don’t you take a look at who I… am? After all, I’m an ancient… follower of the Night King!” Qiong Qi chuckled. His white teeth shone coldly under the moonlight. It was quite funny.
Beiting Huang was a little puzzled by Qiong Qi’s careless slip of the tongue. However, who didn’t have their own secrets? She didn’t ask further. Just as she was about to urge Qiong Qi to follow her orders, Qiong Qi volunteered. “Bei Ye, aren’t you going to make a move? I’ll go with you tonight!”
Beiting Huang rolled her eyes. There was indeed one less person in her plan. Qiong Qi was not an outsider, so there was no need to refuse unreasonably. She immediately agreed. “Okay!”
In the back garden of the City Lord’s Mansion, there was a courtyard that was specially used as a single guest room. Naturally, Beiting Huang was given the best room and stayed in it with Qiong Qi that night. She was about to wash up and rest early. The leader of the Black Water Mercenary Group, Huang Yuan, who wanted to hire Beiting Huang as a guest, dragged Qin Yu over. As soon as they met, he laughed loudly. “Little brother, don’t blame me for being presumptuous!”
Even if it was for Qin Yu’s sake, Beiting Huang would not be impatient. Moreover, they had fought side by side in the Sunset Forest back then. Huang Yuan valued her very much. He politely welcomed Huang Yuan in. After Qin Yu introduced them to each other, he quickly gave up his seat and said, “Commander Huang Yuan, please take a seat!”
