Chapter 184 Responsibilities
The moonlight shines through the treetops, through the sparse leaves, and finally falls gently on the ground, forming mottled and interlaced shadows.
The scene was like a dream, beautiful yet with a hint of loneliness, making the whole night even more quiet and mysterious.
"Hey...Wu Le!"
Bai Yi's voice was filled with a hint of worry and urgency, and it was particularly clear in the quiet night.
"Where are you going?"
He stared at the man in front of him, his tone full of concern.
"You just came back not long ago, right? Do you have a new mission?"
Bai Yi stepped forward, stopped Wu Le who was about to leave, and asked in confusion.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to read something from Wu Le's eyes.
Looking at Bai Yi, Wu Le immediately stopped. His originally tense body seemed to relax a little, and his eyes became softer.
He sighed softly and said slowly:
"Yes, the master has assigned a task, and the time is tight and the task is heavy!"
Although his tone was calm, it was hard to hide the anxiety behind it.
"I won't say much more. I'll talk to you when I get back."
After saying this, he took another step forward.
At this moment, every minute and every second is extremely precious to him and cannot be wasted.
Bai Yi obviously saw his eagerness and did not continue to stop him. He just gently reminded him, "Be sure to come back safely!"
There was a hint of determination and expectation in his voice, hoping that his friend could successfully complete the mission and return safely.
"it is good."
Wu Le turned around and responded briefly and forcefully, then turned and left quickly.
His figure gradually disappeared into the distance, and was eventually swallowed up by the darkness.
Not until his figure completely disappeared from his sight did Bai Yi slowly withdraw his gaze, but an inexplicable feeling of reluctance welled up in his heart.
But he soon suppressed this emotion and led the people around him to start the night patrol.
After all, in this place, safety is the most important thing.
The mansion was tightly surrounded by Xiao Yanheng's elite troops, and guards could be seen standing guard even a little distance away from the mansion.
No one can enter here without a token or a secret code.
For Bai Yi, protecting the secrets here and preventing any suspicious people from discovering any clues has become one of his important responsibilities.
The next morning, when the first ray of warm sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, Su Yuan finally opened her eyes.
She glanced at the watch on the bedside table and saw that it was already past nine o'clock.
The maidservant who was serving her in the room heard the noise and asked softly, "Miss Su, are you awake?"
They always speak very carefully, for fear of disturbing their master's rest.
"Wake up, come in!"
Su Yuan answered softly.
Since coming here, she has gradually gotten used to this kind of life with someone to take care of her daily life and no longer feels uncomfortable or restrained.
As the door creaked slightly, two maids named Qiuyu and Dongxue quickly entered the room.
The two of them started to work quickly and began to help Su Yuan wash and dress.
These two women were specially selected by Xiao Yanheng. Not only are they skilled in martial arts, but more importantly, they know how to read people's expressions and are considerate, which makes them very popular.
"Miss Su, what clothes do you want to wear today?"
Amity asked, smiling.
Although they don't talk much on weekdays, the sisters can always accurately grasp Su Yuan's mood changes and provide the necessary services appropriately.
Su Yuan was very satisfied with their performance.
Her eyes quickly scanned the room, finally stopping on an exquisite blue dress.
The dress was brightly colored but not ostentatious, just what she liked.
"Then wear that blue dress!"
She said softly, with a hint of joy in her tone.
Su Yuan really likes these clothes, both the material and style are extremely exquisite.
Therefore, I no longer have much interest in the few pieces of clothing that I have prepared in my storage space.
With the help of several personal maids, they soon had her hair styled into an elegant bun and adorned her with various exquisite jewelry.
After dressing up, she looked as beautiful and otherworldly as a fairy walking out of a painting, and her whole body exuded a soft yet holy light.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Su Yuan's heart was filled with joy.
Afterwards, she reached into her storage space and pulled out two small bags of colorful and fragrant candies.
Each of these candies exudes a different aroma, making people salivate.
Witnessing such an incredible scene, the two maids who were originally standing by to serve did not run away or hide out of fear. Instead, they were stunned by the strange and heartwarming scene before them, their wide eyes filled with shock and curiosity.
But then, the two seemed to remember something, and quickly knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look again.
"I acknowledge my guilt, please forgive me, young lady."
They spoke in almost trembling voices, appearing to be extremely cautious.
Seeing this, Su Yuan sighed slightly inwardly, but did not say anything harsh to blame them.
Because she knew very well that it would take time to change the long-standing habit of kneeling down whenever something happened.
"Get up!"
She spoke softly, extending her hand towards the two girls.
"I'm not blaming you. You're very thoughtful and considerate, and I'm very satisfied. This bag of candy is a small gift for you. You can try it."
As she spoke, her voice became softer and her eyes were full of encouragement.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you: I don't want you to constantly perform formal formalities in front of me. Please remember this."
After hearing this, the two girls exchanged a puzzled look at each other, then bowed their heads again to show respect and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, miss. We will certainly do as you command."
"You are so kind to us, thank you."
Su Yuan noticed that even though they had received explicit permission, the two girls were still a little restrained and timid, and seemed still afraid to look up and look at her.
So she decided not to ask for more, but just smiled and handed the candies in her hand to the two cute little maids one by one, then turned and left the room.
As soon as I went out, I saw a person sitting in a pavilion not far away.
The pavilion is hidden among the lush trees. The man sits quietly on the stone bench, looking particularly calm and handsome.
Xiao Yanheng noticed her as soon as she appeared.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle and he caught her figure in an instant.
Their eyes met, filled with deep affection, as if each other's eyes were the most beautiful language in the world.
He stood up and walked towards her, his steps steady and light, each step revealing his deep affection and tenderness for her.
"Xue'er."
He whispered her name, his tone full of warmth and fondness.
"Are you hungry? I've asked someone to prepare breakfast."
He asked considerately, with a faint smile on his face and his eyes full of concern and love for her.
