Chapter 20 - Dispute

“Uhh…about this…” This is bad! He actually knows my real identity!! But it was no wonder, since he did, after all, follow them all the way here.

But……why did Jia Qizhe tell her that he didn't notice anything? He lied to her! Dammit!!

“Ha-ha-ha,” Gu Qingyu weakly laughed, “So I got found out by you……”

“Do you think there’s anything in this world that could be hidden from me?” Under the bright moonlight, Xue Zang’s smile appeared very captivating and even more pure and flawless, causing contradictory.

“Not at all.” Gu Qingyu shrugged her shoulders, “Soo, it’s getting late and I still have to survey the area. I’ve wasted too much time with you. See! You!!”

“Then I’ll just stop bothering you?” Xue Zang surprisingly didn’t continue to pester her.

“And also!” Shouted Gu Qingyu before he left, “Stop following us around,” She paused, and said in an ashen face, “We’re really no fun.”

“No, no, no,” Xue Zang gracefully waved his finger, “I’ll still be around. See you again if we’re fated to meet~”

He simply vanished the moment his words came to an end.

Spiteful! Curse him! Damn, dammit!! ‘See you again if we’re fated to meet’?? Da f*k, You see me everyday, okay?!

“Pssst.” Gu Qingyu turned her head in disdain, and spotted……”Jia Qizhe!! You……” She probed, “Did you already finish?”

“Yeah, “ Jia Qizhe smiled at her, “What about your side?”

“I……” Gu Qingyu was secretly happy, “Thank god! It seems that he didn’t see Xue Zang!! But, the sad part is that I haven’t done anything……”

Yi? How did this paper scroll appear in……her hand?

Gu Qingyu subconsciously unfolded it, and discovered……that it was a map of the her surroundings!! Not only that, the insides of the Imperial Palace were also roughly drawn, and there were even a couple of escape routes!!

Jia Qizhe asked curiously to see it once, and was stunned momentarily, “You……how did you do this?”

“Hehe! Did you get startled?” Gu Qingyu simply felt immense gratitude and admiration towards Xue Zang, “Don’t ask how, am I simply not amazing? Ey? Jia Qizhe? Where did you go? Hello? Where’s my map???? Hey——Jia Qizhe, wait for me!!”

She ran frantically in hot pursuit and finally reached the inn at the end. Who could’ve imagined that the bastard had already arrived for a while. He even went through the plan with everyone, then just as everyone was getting ready to leave; She showed an 囧-expression.

Gu Qingyu gasped for air, “Are you saying that…I have to go for another round?!”

“Yeah……” Mo Bai seemed to hesitate, but his eyes were still as tender, “I’m sorry, Miss Gu.”

“Why are you the one apologizing!” Gu Qingyu felt aggrieved, “Jia Qizhe! Come here and apologize properly to me!!”

“Why?” He looked at her with a strange gaze, “Why should I apologize?”

“You abandoned me!” Gu Qingyu frowned, she knew that acting up like this would make him unhappy, and also a bit too much, but he went too far earlier! For some unknown reason, she felt her heart contained……a subtle fury that was endlessly raging and burning!

“Sigh,” Jia Qizhe looked like he really didn’t want to do this, "You want an apology because I abandoned you? I suppose you’ve never tasted the feel of getting thrown away.”

“No! I have!!” Gu Qingyu yelled out, “To be abandoned by your most loved people! You’ll never understand that kind of feeling!!”

She burst out once she finished her sentence.

Soon after, someone came after her.

“Miss Gu, are you alright?” A soft and tender voice, it was Mo Bai.

“Mo Bai……” Gu Qingyu shook her head, “Let’s go, the mission is more important.”

“Ok……” He seemed quite worried.

And so, the party arrived at the Imperial Palace. Jia Qizhe planned a few routes and divided them into teams. Operation start.

Miraculously, Gu Qingyu happened to be in the same team as Jia Qizhe.

The other team consisted of Qi Yichen and Mo Bai, they were in charge of getting rid of obstacles, disclose information and drawing away the guards for Jia Qizhe’s team. Jia Qizhe and Gu Qingyu were in charge of infiltrating the palace, and to look for Murong Ranyue. And lastly, Little Qi was to stay outside, and come to rescue in case something went wrong.

“……” Gu Qingyu stayed silent during the whole journey.

“What’s up?” Asked Jia Qizhe sporadically.

“……” Silence.

“Are you angry?”

“……” Continuous silence.

“Hey……”

“What?” Gu Qingyu finally spoke.

“Did you listen to what I just said?” Mumbled Jia Qizhe.

Gu Qingyu shook her head.

“……” This time, Jia Qizhe turned quiet, “Are you angry?”

Gu Qingyu shook her head again.

“Then what?” Jia Qizhe stopped in his steps.

Because of his speed, she kept following him closely behind. So when he stopped all of a sudden, she bumped right into him.

“What are you doing?!” Gu Qingyu could only helplessly yell in a low voice, so that they wouldn’t get discovered.

“You are being all over the place, do you realize how it could affect our current mission?” Said Jia Qizhe extremely seriously, “Please settle your mind and be more serious! This is not a game, this is the Imperial Palace, it’s a matter of life and death!”

“Why don’t I have a single bit sense of crisis then?” Said Gu Qingyu as she scratched her head.

“Dear——” All he could do was to let out a lengthy sigh, “If you’re not angry, then stop acting so distracted. Follow me closely.”

“Ok……” Gu Qingyu sped up her pace.

“Paa”

“Brush……”

Soft, gentle footsteps echoed through the hallway.
