Chapter 343 - 310: Life Is Like a Play, All Are Acting_2

Using him as a laborer, and still being picky.

If he hadn’t known she was a woman, even if it meant enormous benefits, he wouldn’t do it.

Even now, he feels unsettled in his heart.

Really... didn’t notice how many odd looks they got along the way?

"Brother Qin, next time should I find some young ladies to accompany you?"

There are plenty of young and pretty girls in the taverns.

There’s no shortage.

But...

"No need!"

Qin Ying didn’t bother to talk more and walked straight ahead.

"Alas!"

Chen Xuan shook his head wearily.

"Forget it, just endure for that spot at the burial site!"

He could only comfort himself this way.

After strolling through the entire East Street, Qin Ying was still quite interested.

"By the way, is there a temple fair in the Western Region recently? I heard someone mentioning it!"

Qin Ying enjoyed such lively atmospheres.

Back in the Imperial City, things were always cool and quiet; either cultivating or handling matters assigned by his father.

Very constrained.

But ever since coming to rMolan Mansion, she felt free, especially with this current identity, able to do anything she wanted.

A night like this, her mood improved significantly.

"Let’s go!"

Chen Xuan straightforwardly decided, knowing his character well by now—once decided, disagreement was futile.

Might as well be straightforward.

The Western Region was far, but the two did not fly, relying on their legs, though surely using their Spiritual Power.

Otherwise, the temple fair would end before they arrived.

Walking side by side, they weaved through the crowd like beams of light.

"Let me ask you something?"

During their journey, Qin Ying suddenly spoke.

"What is it?"

Chen Xuan turned his head, asked.

"How do you quickly find the person you’re looking for in a crowd?"

Qin Ying spoke euphemistically.

Of course, she was simply asking casually, passing the time.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xuan felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Was she trying to find Ning Xin and the others but couldn’t, and now asking him?

How absurd it seemed!

If he knew that the one she was searching for was the woman of his only friend at rMolan Mansion, he wondered if she’d want to kill him on the spot!

"What? No way?"

Qin Ying frowned slightly; was it really that difficult just to find someone?

"Just scan with Spiritual Power!"

Even if there is a way, it can’t be said out loud; choosing to give a reasonable yet nonsensical answer instead.

Given the size of rMolan Mansion, using Spiritual Power?

Even a Spirit Cultivator would be exhausted.

Sure enough, upon hearing his answer, Qin Ying rolled her eyes dramatically.

She then scolded,

"Nonsense!"

"This isn’t a small area; how could I scan all of rMolan Mansion with Spiritual Power?"

"What?"

Chen Xuan feigned surprise, "Who are you looking for? Seeking throughout rMolan Mansion?"

"Not right!"

If those large families at rMolan Mansion were all mobilized, are they helping you to find someone?"

"Hiss..."

Taking a long breath, his face turned pale as he stared dumbfounded at Qin Ying, "Are you from the Imperial City?"

Qin Ying slowed her pace instantly; she’d been too quick-tongued, accidentally revealing, surprised that he inferred so much from so little information.

No wonder she took an interest in him; indeed not simple.

Since he already speculated correctly, she didn’t bother to hide, thus nodded slightly, "I’m from the Imperial City, here to find someone this time!"

"Who are you searching for?"

Chen Xuan ’immediately’ asked.

Now, however, Qin Ying hesitated, unsure whether she should tell him.

"You wouldn’t think you can keep this secret, right? You’ve mobilized so many people to investigate; a little inquiry would reveal it."

"Or do you think... I have no connections at all?"

Chen Xuan teased her.

Though exhausting, acting naturally is crucial; otherwise... an immediate exposure would be disastrous.

"Ning Family!"

Qin Ying finally uttered those three words.

He was right about mobilizing so many people; just a little leverage would reveal it.

Moreover, he had connections within the Three Judicial Departments.

"Descendants of Marquis Ning!"

Chen Xuan immediately halted, his expression turning grave.

"Correct!"

Qin Ying nodded slightly, "They’re at rMolan Mansion, but all this time, not a trace has been found."

"Our people have searched even the towns and villages under rMolan Mansion, even conducted Soul Searches on many, yet still no news!"

She disclosed everything to him precisely.

"Could it be they’re not at rMolan Mansion?"

Chen Xuan tentatively asked.

After all, it puzzled him too why she was so sure Ning Xin and the others were at rMolan Mansion.

It seemed similar last time too.

Confident that no message was leaked, moreover, if it was, she wouldn’t speak out like this.

"Have you heard of the Star Hall?"

Qin Ying didn’t answer directly but asked instead.

"Star Hall?"

Chen Xuan pondered carefully, ultimately shaking his head, "No, I’ve never heard of it!"

"Ning Family at rMolan Mansion is predicted by the Hall Master of Star Hall, and it’s absolutely correct!"

Qin Ying slowly declared.

"That impressive?"

Chen Xuan was shocked, waves of turmoil stirred within.

Seeing her firm countenance and such affirmative tone, the Hall Master of Star Hall was indeed formidable.

"If they could foretell rMolan Mansion, can’t it be more precise? After all, rMolan Mansion is vast, akin to searching for a needle in a haystack!"
