Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 495: Chapter 494: Miss Xie’s Life-saving Favor _1

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the black-clothed man disappeared from the woods. freewёbnoνel.com

The sound of the flute vanished, and the leaf whip seemed lifeless as it exploded with a bang, scattering broken leaves all over the ground.

“Milord, the assassin has retreated.”

Fearful but relieved, the attendant guarding the carriage barely managed to keep their footing, as they had come to the front of the first carriage and bowed as they reported the situation.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, revealing a lavishly dressed noble son.

As if sensing something, he looked up towards the direction the flute sounded from earlier, his gaze fixed on the treetop.

Lin Qingluo was dressed in a light blue outfit, her gentle smile accompanied by a bamboo flute as she stood gracefully on top of a tree branch, looking like a young celestial maiden descending from the heavens.

Seeing that it was just a young girl, he was slightly surprised.

The surprise only lasted for a moment, as he soon composed himself, politely clasping his fists in greeting and bowing.

“Wang Rong of the Wang Clan from Long City is grateful for the young lady’s kindness in saving my life.”

“You’re just a passerby, no need for thanks. Hurry up and leave; those people will come back when they hear the flute is silent.”

Lin Qingluo earnestly received his bow, her figure flashed, and she disappeared without a trace.

“Hiss!”

Worried, the attendant guarding the carriage couldn’t help but gasp for cool air. He involuntarily shrank his neck and searched around, unable to find the graceful blue-clothed figure and becoming even more frightened.

“May I ask the young lady’s name, Wang Rong will keep it in mind and repay the favor someday.”

Wang Rong’s eyes flickered as he bowed to the air again.

The wooded area was silent, with only the soft breeze blowing through the mountains, rustling the tree branches.

“Let’s go.”

Not getting a response, he reluctantly furrowed his brows and turned to return to the carriage.

“Yes, sir.”

The remaining attendants perked up, guarding the carriage as it moved forward, quickly disappearing from the youngsters’ sight.

Lin Qingluo dispelled her invisibility and revealed herself, flitting down from the top of the treetop.

A group of young men immediately swarmed around her, excitement evident on their faces.

“Master, you were so freaking awesome, that leaf whip was so cool!”

Shitou spoke incoherently with excitement.

“Mhm mhm.”

Wang Meng and Feng Yi nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with admiration and twinkling like stars.

“My sister is so amazing, Xuan’er admires sister the most.”

Taking advantage of his small stature, the Little Prince squeezed to the front and happily hugged his sister’s arm. Excitement flushed his cheeks and his big eyes shone brightly.

“Master, when will Cang Lan be able to learn such advanced magic spells?”

Mo Canglan’s heart pounded with anticipation.

“Sister, you make your brothers feel so inadequate!”

“With such a formidable sister, your brothers can hardly make their presence felt!”

Lin Jinyun and Lin Jinlong experienced a mix of emotions, their protective siblings’ hearts overflowing as they wished to protect their sister at any cost.

Unfortunately, their strength didn’t permit it!

“Alright, enough talk. Let’s get going.”

Lin Qingluo spoke quietly, cutting off the rowdy group of youngsters and mounting her horse.

“Wang Rong of the Long City Wang Clan, I wonder who he offended to warrant an assassination attempt by nearly a hundred people? This is not a trivial matter, we should leave too, so as not to be implicated.”

“He is from the Long City Wang Clan?”

Lin Jinyun mounted his horse, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Yes.”

Lin Qingluo arched her delicate eyebrows, “Brother Yun, do you know of the Long City Wang Clan?”

“Mhm.”

Lin Jinyun’s expression grew a bit serious, “Once we cross this hill, we’ll be less than a hundred miles from Long City. The Wang Clan is an old and prestigious family in the eastern border region and has strong connections with the border army.”

“Oh.”

Lin Qingluo understood, “So, if we want to investigate the terrain on the border between Fengqi and Nanqi, we’ll have to operate within the Wang family’s sphere of influence?”
