PFC Chapter 131 Calm down
Chapter 131 Calm down
Chu Ling rubbed his head against Xie Yan's neck, his warm breath hitting Xie Yan's face and causing a ticklish sensation.
But in this situation, it's hardly a place worth being cozy.
Because the next second, three heads swam over from the floating wooden block.
"Huh? Isn't this..."
"Your Highness, Young Master Xie, are you alright?"
Xiang Qingsheng's voice came from behind Xie Yan.
The three swimming towards Xie Yan and the others were Xiang Qingsheng and Dongfang Su, who were flanking Dongfang Shuo on the left and right.
"Your Highness, is something wrong?"
Seeing the two of them in their positions, and the way Chu Ling was clinging to Xie Yan's neck, I was worried that something might have happened to him.
Xie Yan twitched her lips and reached out to push Chu Ling away.
But the latter clung to his waist relentlessly, refusing to let go.
Then Chu Ling's muffled voice rang out, "It's nothing, I'm just a little short of breath, it's nothing serious."
"Luckily, Ah Yan was there to support me."
As Xie Yan spoke, she felt Chu Ling's arms tighten around her, and then a warm, moist sensation brushed against her earlobe.
Xie Yan: "..."
Xie Yan had never seen such a lecherous fiend in her life, and her forehead twitched slightly involuntarily.
But he couldn't reveal his weakness to Xiang Qingsheng and the others, so he could only pinch Chu Ling hard with his hand in the water.
To everyone's surprise, Chu Ling not only didn't restrain himself, but also nudged Xie Yan without any regard for her feelings.
If Xiang Qingsheng and the others hadn't been nearby, Xie Yan would have really wanted to push him into the water to calm him down.
Finally, Xie Yan could only grit her teeth and whisper to Chu Ling, "Chu Ling, be serious."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ling chuckled softly a few more times.
The three people behind him were still unaware of what was happening. Seeing Chu Ling trembling, they assumed he was genuinely unwell and quickly said, "Then let's hurry up and get ashore."
After all, it wasn't just him; even someone like Dongfang Shuo, with his physical condition, couldn't stay in cold water for long.
After saying this, the two of them quickly swam past Xie Chu, who was still struggling with the somewhat unconscious Dongfang Shuo, without noticing Xie Yan's expression at that moment.
Dongfang Shuo glanced at it in a daze, but before he could even savor the sense of familiarity that welled up in his heart, he fainted.
Watching the three figures swim away into the distance, Xie Yan finally felt relieved.
Then he pulled Chu Ling away, looked at him affectionately for a while, and then suddenly reached out and shoved the man's head into the water!
By the time Xie Yan got ashore, he had already pulled out a mask from somewhere and put it on himself.
Upon seeing this, Xuanfeng and the others, who had been anxiously waiting on the shore, immediately surrounded him.
"Why are you the only one who came up here? Where is the Prince?!"
"Young Master Xie, didn't you go to rescue the Prince?"
"Ah! Could it be that His Highness has already..."
"Your Highness, you died a terrible death!"
"How could this happen? I haven't even received my monthly salary yet! With the prince gone, who am I supposed to ask for it?"
Seeing the gazes directed at him by the others, He Shan awkwardly shut his mouth.
Before they could even finish wailing, they saw their own prince, who was supposed to be "unable to swim," suddenly emerge from the water.
The group gaped open again, their pupils dilating in shock.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Xie Yan chuckled, "Looks like I'm not the only one who's been fooled."
Finally, Xuanfeng was the first to come to his senses, saying incredulously, "No, Your Highness, aren't you unable to swim?"
Chu Ling smoothed his hair, looked at the group, and replied casually, "I learned it back in the manor."
Upon hearing this, Xuanfeng and the others were even more shocked: "Huh? Then, why don't we know anything about this?"
Chu Ling raised an eyebrow. "Does this mean that after I learn to swim, I'll tell everyone I meet that I've learned to swim?"
Xuanfeng and the others looked at each other: ...Well, that seems to make some sense.
While using his internal energy to dry his clothes, Chu Ling looked around and asked, "When we were on the dueling platform, did anything else happen here?"
Upon hearing Chu Ling's question, He Shan, feeling guilty, immediately preemptively answered, "Your Highness, apart from a few more explosions later, nothing else happened."
Looking around, just as Heshan had said, apart from some collapsed houses and injured martial arts practitioners, there was indeed no other sign of an attack by foreign enemies.
Chu Ling frowned, pondering to himself.
Dongfang Yuan went to such great lengths, blowing up houses and gathering assassins, just to kill Dongfang Shuo?
No, perhaps Xie Yan is also there.
Thinking this, Chu Ling couldn't help but glance at the latter.
Xie Yan was standing to the side, facing the river where many wrecks were still floating, seemingly lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
Noticing Chu Ling approaching, Xie Yan stirred and said calmly, "I'm wondering if that old bastard is dead or not this time."
Although the matter has come to a temporary end, the two of them have a vague feeling that there may not be such a simple thing behind it all.
"Ah, I really didn't expect that."
Looking at Dongfang Su, who had just escaped death and was now directing the martial arts alliance disciples to treat everyone, Yu Bai sighed.
"The nameless one is actually Miss Dongfang."
Meng Lan nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Young Master Xie's disguise skills are truly superb; we couldn't tell at all."
Xie Yan returned empty-handed from his nighttime raid that night because he had made a deal with Dongfang Su.
Their deal was that Xie Yan would do Dongfang Su's makeup and disguise, and after she won, the treasure map would naturally be handed over.
That's why Xie Yan would occasionally disguise herself as a maid to visit Dongfang Su, with the aim of disguising her.
but--
"There's one thing you've said wrong."
Chu Ling smiled, glanced at Xie Yan, and then corrected them, "Wuming is actually two people."
"what?!"
The group was taken aback when they heard this, but following his gaze, they immediately realized what he meant.
"Could it be that Young Master Xie is also impersonating Wuming?"
"Isn't this cheating?"
Faced with the condemning gazes of the crowd, Xie Yan could only helplessly say, "I never actually participated. I just occasionally pretended to be Wuming at night to rest."
"Otherwise, if his residence remains unoccupied, it will easily arouse suspicion from others."
If anyone has doubts, it could cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Upon hearing his words, Yu Bai and the others suddenly realized what he meant.
No wonder they occasionally saw Xie Yan sneaking out late at night during those days; it turned out it was because of this matter.
I thought it was really as Heshan said, because of disharmony in bed with the prince.
