"See if you can find an inn that can be rented out completely for the people from our Academy. Also, do we have any residences around here for the hidden guards that have been protecting me from the shadows throughout the whole journey?"
Bai Rouyun’s words were aimed towards Mo Chu. Currently, their carriage was parked in a queue to enter the city gates, but considering the constant influx of travelers, it would take at least another two hours before they could enter.
Although this was the proper way to enter the city, Bai Rouyun knew perfectly well that a cultivator like Mo Chu could easily climb the city walls and enter without having to care about the queue, hence she gave him such a task.
As to why she did not ask Jiang Wei, she felt that this young man was more suited to laze around and pretend to drive a carriage than jump over walls and try to find a place for their whole group to sleep.
Mo Chu responded with an acknowledgment and disappeared from their sight, leaving the reigns in Jiang Wei’s hands..
Such actions caused the young man to chuckle, as he could guess Bai Rouyun’s thoughts, but did not mean to mention it.
Instead, he waved his hand and a guard dressed in black appeared next to him.
"Hey, you are one of Bai Rouyun’s guards, so do a good job and take care of the carriage."
As soon as Jiang Wei spoke, he tossed the reins to the guard, just like Mo Chu had done to him earlier.
However, unlike Mo Chu, he did not hurry into the city but entered the carriage itself.
Bai Rouyun was not too surprised about his appearance, and just lightly glanced at him, before she focused her gaze outside the window once more.
Jiang Wei did not seem to feel anything towards her ignoring him, and instead he leaned against the back of the chair and rested his eyes.
With his current strength, sleep was not needed, but he felt a strange tranquility when being somewhat close to Bai Rouyun, a feeling that was serene and similar to the sense of connecting to one’s mother.
As this thought flashed in Jiang Wei’s mind, he opened his eyes in shock as his pupils began to tremble.
This sense of connection was seemingly unreal but it was clearly affecting him, however only a few things could cause such a reaction.
For now, Jiang Wei was not in a hurry to determine the cause of his strange feelings, as he knew that no matter which one of the results it would be, it would never harm him, but only be beneficial for both him and Bai Rouyun.
Naturally, this emotion also strangled all romantic feelings he might ever have had towards the young woman.
In fact, the emotions he always had towards this young woman did not contain any urge for physical closeness, instead it was more like the feelings of interest, adoration, and pride. He felt amused to see her fox-like appearance as she cheated others, and her dimwitted expression when she was thinking.
Also, the feeling he had when thinking about the union of Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun was not an urge to destroy their relationship and take her for himself, it was more akin to his cabbage having been eaten by a pig, and he wanted to trouble Li Moyun for causing his cabbage to be stolen away.
Such emotions were confusing, and he did not wish to think about it, so he simply focused his gaze on the people standing in line outside, and shook his head.
For him, life was merely a play, and he decided to slowly experience what it could bring him. There was no reason for him to become fixated on anything special, and if there truly was some sort of fate, then he would find out eventually. If not, then he would not suffer without knowing what he had lost.
While Jiang Wei’s emotions had been going up and down, Bai Rouyun was still thinking about that young girl she had encountered before. Although she had a delicate face and her body seemed to have developed well, she was not the type of woman that Xue Jingyu would have chased before.
Not to mention, he was rather picky with the character of the women we wooed, and he liked those who were soft like water and easily spooked. This little fiery pepper that they had met on the way did not really suit any of his tastes, so she could not help but wonder how exactly the engagement had come forth.
The reason that she was certain that the woman would be engaged to Xue Jingyu was his position in the Shitian Tower. He was the heir that had been decided by his father, and although some might support other of the young masters, none of them had actually made any actions against Xue Jingyu before.
Since they had never taken any actions before, Bai Rouyun had always assumed that they had tacitly approved of his position, but seeing the scene from earlier, she suddenly began to doubt whether or not it was truly like this.
Although Brother Rabbit was infuriating and said hurtful things, he was still her friend. She had even heard from Li Moyun that Xue Jingyu had worked together with the Eternal Shadow Palace to try and kill those involved with her death.
She was not an ungrateful person, and currently, something gave her a feeling as if things were heading in the wrong direction, so she pondered on the best suitable way to solve it.
