My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along
Chapter 370 - 352
CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 352
"Are you planning to abandon the old and embrace the new, shift your affections, be fickle, and ultimately discard me?"
Yun Ran: "......"
...
Perhaps due to the snowfall sealing the mountain, the sky was already dark and overcast even before nightfall, making the depths of the dense forest appear even more shadowy.
In the forest, two figures stood in the dim light, one standing, one kneeling.
"Master, everything you’ve instructed has been completed."
The person kneeling was dressed in black, with a black hood, respectfully reporting the events, her voice revealing she was a woman.
The other stood with his arms behind him, his back turned to her, the faint twilight filtering through the mottled branches, casting an eerie shadow on him.
After listening, he asked casually, "Did she notice anything unusual?"
"Not at all. At most, she might suspect that someone wants to use the black bear chaos to remove her."
"Even if she sensed the presence of soul-inducing fragrance at the time, she would only think it was meant to drive the bears to frenzy, never imagining the scent was actually aimed at her."
After speaking, she stole a glance at him, then lowered her head again, "Please rest assured, master, this matter is guaranteed to be flawless."
The man stood tall, subtly indifferent, merely asking, "When Yun Yan went up the mountain, was your whereabouts exposed?"
Upon hearing this, the woman shivered internally, fearing that if her whereabouts were exposed, she too would...
"Rest assured, master, I concealed myself well and wasn’t discovered by anyone."
In the breeze, silence lingered, making the woman’s heart tighten involuntarily, sweat gradually forming on her forehead.
Finally, the man spoke, his voice icy and indifferent, "Leave."
"Yes! I take my leave!"
The woman’s heart relaxed, as if granted amnesty, disappearing into the forest with the speed of a swift wind.
...
Yun Ran saw Shen Weixi running from afar in the camp, thinking the bears were brought down the mountain, and she was here to join her in claiming them.
So she said to Nangong Mo beside her, "Wait here! I’ll bring back the bear’s paw and smack you with it!"
Nangong Mo: "..."
Here’s a look for you to interpret yourself.
However, when Shen Weixi reached the doorway, she beat her chest in anguish, "Yue’er, it’s bad! Your bear paw is gone! Your Silver is gone too!"
Yun Ran: "???"
[What’s going on!?]
Yun Ran blinked, bewildered, and looked at Shen Weixi, "Weixi, what’s going on? Did the bear... fly away?"
Shen Weixi looked pained, "Isn’t it just flown away..."
Yun Ran was even more confused, "Huh? What do you mean?"
Shen Weixi let out a long sigh, "There was an avalanche, the bear fell off the cliff! The bear paw is gone! Silver is gone too!"
Yun Ran: "..."
Could it be such a coincidence? Or is the person behind it trying to destroy evidence?
But she had already examined the two bears thoroughly, gathered all necessary information, isn’t it too late to destroy them now?
However, it might genuinely be an accident; that small cliff, after being trampled and ravaged by two large bears, indeed might have collapsed or caused an avalanche.
"Ah! By the way, how are General Yun and the others? Were they harmed?"
Shen Weixi sighed softly, shaking her head in awe, "Yue’er, you’re only now thinking to ask about General Yun!"
Yun Ran: "...Uh...this..."
"Actually, I believe with General Yun’s skills, he surely wouldn’t have been harmed, surely able to escape danger before the avalanche."
"You’re right, General Yun and Baili Yu both
