Chapter 512: There Are People Outside

"What do you think?"

"I think… something is suspicious."

The atmosphere is not right.

After their morning date, Nalan Qingshu and Murong Nu realized something was off in the atmosphere.

In the past, although Bai Wei had a proud carriage, he was also responsible for being chilly. Occasionally, he would bring up topics about other countries to show off his knowledge and broaden the poor children’s horizons who had never been to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and never even played PSP. This maintained his impressive image and persona that made others look up to him.

Chao Lu was in charge of adding to the conversation. She had also studied abroad in Europa and had good communication skills. She could easily steer the conversation in the direction she wanted. She was skilled at controlling the topic and adjusting the atmosphere.

But today, both of them were silent.

Regardless of how others were chatting, their attitudes remained silent and cold.

Murong Nu and Nalan Qingshu rarely initiated a conversation, yet they had no reaction at all.

It’s like being in a group chat, where someone sent a screenshot and a bunch of analysis, ready to start discussing, but after waiting for a while, there was no response at all, and the awkward person pressed the recall button repeatedly.

Chao Lu looked out the window, while Bai Wei focused on driving.

It looks normal on the surface, but it has been going on for over half an hour.

Instead of a strong horse, the one pulling the cart is a big monster. This Pansilk Cave Lord has completely turned into a driver and engine. It doesn’t need to hold the reins and can run on its own. It even memorized the map and learned to navigate automatically. It has a very good sense of self-management.

The more focused Bai Wei is, the more he daydreams. Chao Lu is not daydreaming, but immersed in some kind of beauty. He looks energetic, with bright reflections in his eyes from time to time, and even stands up with a smile unconsciously.

"Enough, enough, Bai Ze, calm down!" Nalan Qingshu couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

"What?" Chao Lu snapped back to reality. "What did I just do?"

"You laughed."

"Uh… are you guys trying to challenge me not to laugh?"

"Not the problem, but it’s your mental state that makes us a bit afraid." Murong Nu said, "If a person remains silent for a long time and occasionally smiles in a creepy way, are you scared?"

Chao Lu smiled and asked, "Creepy?"

With a 105-degree smile, shining like the sunshine in March, as if fireworks were blooming.

Murong Nu exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Look at this person, no, this fairy. Why is she laughing again? Did she secretly eat someone?"

Nalan Qingshu furrowed her brows and said, "There’s something wrong with you. You…something is really off."

Chao Lu sat gracefully and said, "I’ll try not to disturb you. Shall I go sit outside for a while?"

"No! Come back!" Nalan Qingshu immediately objected.

"Such a hassle," Chao Lu rested her cheek on her hand, "Can’t do this, can’t do that. Am I not even allowed to laugh? It’s you guys who are weird."

She slightly frowned and said, "Or maybe, you’re intentionally trying to find faults?"

At the next moment, she burst into laughter, "But I’m in a good mood and won’t bother with you guys."

Murong Nu touched her arm and felt a shiver.

Nalan Qingshu couldn’t stand Chao Lu in this state; it might be better to argue with her.

She pushed open the car door and stuck half of her head out, asking the coachman, "Do we need to do anything?"

The two words of preparation were still unspoken.

Bai Wei suddenly woke up and blurted out, interrupting her, "We didn’t do anything! We’re innocent!"

Little Princess Bi Fang tilted her head thirty degrees, "What are you talking about?"

Bai Wei realized he had overreacted, but it was because he was also restless.

"…I’m waiting for news, so let’s take it step by step."

Very casual, very deceive.

Nalan Qingshu didn’t say anything and went back into the car, her suspicious gaze wandering back and forth on Chao Lu.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I envy your figure."

"You can’t envy this."

Nalan Qingshu skeptically straightened her posture, "From a genetic perspective, this is impossible. Not that I’m bragging, but my mother’s figure is…"

"Bi Fang is a bird, an oviparous animal, there is no need for breastfeeding." Chao Lu analyzed from a biological perspective.

Nalan Qingshu took a deep breath, her mouth full of gunpowder.

Murong Nu patted her chest with lingering fear, "Luckily, I didn’t awaken any bloodline…"

Chao Lu didn’t continue to provoke, she just smiled and continued to daydream, while holding onto the tail of the snake girl and gently touching the scales on it.

Nalan Qingshu muttered to herself, "I still have tomorrow morning."

Princess Bai Ze glanced at Nalan Qingshu, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then shook her head and kept her words to herself.

This kind of thing can only have an effect on the first person who picks the peaches.

If she takes the first place, the effects for the second and third place will be greatly reduced.

Besides, what can you, Nalan Qingshu, compare with me?

I’m sorry, but the one who comes first can really do whatever they want.

But when it comes to the order, I might not actually have the advantage.

Happiness and joy are fleeting emotions, they can’t last long before they fade away.

She was just the first to declare war, without winning yet, just as she had said, she was even more afraid, afraid of not winning in the end.

There are many enemies, even more strong enemies, whether Nalan Qingshu can be counted as an enemy is still uncertain, but if she is, she would be considered one of the last ones.

When it comes to threats, the oppression brought by the East Sea Dragon Clan is far beyond what Nalan Qingshu can compare.

The reason she was happy was because of Bai Wei’s reaction. He had been absent-minded for so long, which proved that his heart was not calm, and that was a good thing… If everything was calm and peaceful, how could she have any chance of winning?

Princess Bi Fang saw the disdain in Chao Lu’s hesitant and finally silent change in attitude, and she couldn’t bear it anymore, "Today I want to ask clearly, I just don’t believe that there is anything so secretive."

She stepped out of the carriage.

Three seconds later, she came back.

"He went offline," said Nalan Qingshu, feeling frustrated.

…

Bai Wei needs some time to calm down. On the other hand, it’s not a big problem with the auto-navigation. The carriage driver’s pendant is optional.

He realized he was back in Yingzhou, sitting in the tea room, with a cup of hot tea beside him.

He thought he could relax at home, but when he got back, he couldn’t help but look at the sword mark on the wall in the courtyard, and the furniture.

Chao Lu came here before, and her traces have long disappeared, but he can still recall some things.

Oops… the tea cup in his hand spilled, but the tea table is washable.

Yagyū Simozi, who was waiting for tea, didn’t pay much attention.

But after Bai Wei accidentally knocked over two cups in a row, she realized something was wrong. "Brother, why do you seem a bit unsettled? Did something go wrong in your martial arts practice?"

Bai Wei shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not possessed or anything like that. It’s just a minor issue."

"So, there is still something going on?" Yagyū Simozi asked keenly, "Can you tell me about it?"

Bai Wei tried to brush it off and said, ‘Personal trivial matters aren’t worth mentioning.’

Yagyū Simozi frowned.

Sakurai Shiru sat upright and unknowingly said, "Brother Bai Wei has been acting a bit strange… When he played the piano this morning, he made many mistakes, but the sound was soft and gentle, and it had a… hmm, like the taste of lemon and juice."

Bai Wei lifted the teacup and said, "Playing music requires emotions, and I just added some in."

"But it was supposed to be ‘Two Tigers’?" Sakurai Shiru said. "It turned into two big cats falling in love."

Yagyū Simozi interrupted, pronouncing each word separately, "Falling… in… love?"

"No way, who am I falling in love with?" Bai Wei laughed and pretended to sip his tea.

"Brother… your teacup is empty," his sister reminded him.

Bai Wei, "…"

He tried to make amends, "I drank loneliness and emptiness."

Sakurai Shiru held her cheeks with both hands, showing a sweet smile.

Yagyū Simozi gazed into Bai Wei’s eyes and said, "Brother, why not speak up? What’s the matter… It’s been a while since our family had a heart-to-heart talk. Let’s stand up and have a chat."

People from the Ming Country averted their gaze, pouring tea and water, "Please, have some, please…"

Yagyū Simozi looked at the swirling tea, as a woman and a close family member, she had a moment of realization and speculation.

"Does brother have someone else outside?"
