Although there was some unpleasantness at the city gate just now, Xiao Rong is not a petty person. He also knows whose territory this is. He smiled faintly and nodded, "It is my honor to be able to sit with General You, please have a seat, General."
You Xuanyao didn't bother with her and poured himself a cup of tea.
But as the woman turned to leave, he spoke up: "Miss, I was rude at the city gate just now. I offer this tea as an apology. May I know your name?"
You Xuanyao actually took the initiative to talk to the woman, which was unheard of.
For a moment, everyone in the inn turned their gaze towards them.
The woman stood still, understanding that if she didn't answer and left, she didn't know how much gossip she would cause. She opened her eyes and said softly, "My name is Jixue."
With a loud crash, the teacup in You Xuanyao's hand shattered on the ground.
A very distant memory rushed into his mind. It was one afternoon when he and Yang Qingge sat under the lush willow tree to the west of Chang'an City, discussing their visions for the future. They talked about getting married, living in the west of the city, and finally, what to name their future children.
Yang Qingge Leaning in his arms, she raised her hand to shield the scorching sun and said, "I still prefer winter, I like snow... How about we name our daughter You Jixue in the future?"
He laughed, "What if we have a son?"
She shook her head, "I don't know, you decide."
The suffocation brought by that scorching summer years ago still chokes You Xuanyao at this moment. After saying this, the woman turned and walked up to the second floor of the inn. Mrs. Lin heard the commotion and hurried over, asking, "What's wrong, General?"
You Xuanyao came to his senses and took a silent deep breath, "It's okay, just slipped... I'll go to the backyard to clean up, Cang Shen, you stay with Mr. Xiao."
Cang Shen saw the look he gave and stopped his steps to follow and ask, sitting down next to Xiao Rong, "Okay."
As You Xuanyao turned around, his expression turned dark.
There's no way such a coincidence could happen in the world.
A coincidence can happen once, but what about twice?
Mrs. Lin thought You Xuanyao really wanted to wipe away the water stains, so she hurriedly found a clean cloth and handed it to him, saying, "General..."
The conversation was interrupted when You Xuanyao gestured for silence.
"Mr. Lin, keep an eye on Xiao Rong for me," he said.
Mrs. Lin was stunned. "General, what's going on?"
You Xuanyao His eyes were filled with anger in the darkness: "I'm going to find out what happened."
He leaped up, grabbed the inn's railing with both hands, and with a strong effort, climbed up to the window of the second-floor guest room.
He pushed open the window of Jixue's room and, in the moment he jumped in, covered Jixue's mouth as she was about to scream.
"Shut up," the woman's face was only the size of a palm, half of her face was covered by You Xuanyao, leaving only a pair of wide eyes staring at You Xuanyao in panic. You Xuanyao pushed her against the wall and pulled out a dagger from his waist, pressing it against her neck.
His shadowed eyes were fixed on her, like a hawk locking onto its prey, as if he would not hesitate to kill her the moment she moved. His voice was cold and menacing: "Tell me, who are you?!"
