Chapter 429: Lies and Spveend
"Oh, almost."
Cloudshadow's doubts were answered, but she herself replied vaguely, her instincts telling her that the encounter with the Swamp and the two monsters should be kept secret, but why the druid didn't show up when she and Jiri were out of the illusion - it's still a mystery to this day.
"Cloud Shadow, it's time to eatβ"
Someone was shouting outside the doorβit was Raymond, and Cloudshadow looked at the window on the wall that couldn't be openedβit seemed to be getting dark.
"Miss Yunying, it seems that our conversation today can only go on here."
Thomas was a very discerning man, and he immediately stood up and beckoned everyone to leave.
"Well, then I won't leave you for dinner, but- can you leave Feiko behind?"
Yunying seemed to notice that there was an acquaintance standing in the corner of the room.
"Of course, Feike was found in the illusion of the woods, he was already hungry and dying at the time, fortunately we saw him at Bolunc Manor, and he said that he was lost for the sake of Miss Yunying, so we didn't leave him behind."
Thomas glanced at Feike's casual words, but was it really that simple? If it was just to save people, he could have fed Feike and thrown him out of the woods.
"I see, I said why I haven't seen Feike come back to restore his life, it was indeed me who asked him to do something."
Cloud Shadow's affirmation made Feike, who had been keeping his head down, raise his head suddenly, his eyes full of incredulity and shame.
"Hehe, this is the best, then I won't bother to be like Miss Yunying to return to her life."
With that, Thomas smiled and led the rest of the group out of the door, and he even politely greeted Raymond who was standing outside the door, but Cloudshadow knew that the delicate unity they had so hard built was about to break again.
"Yunying, what are those people looking for you for?"
Raymond walked into the cabin as Thomas opened the door, still holding a tray full of berries.
"You don't know? Raymond - You usually just knock on the door twice and come in. But just now you stood at the door and called me, how about it? How long have you been eavesdropping? It's a good job of hiding, I didn't even notice it before you spoke, it seems that the druids do have a trick in the woods. β
ββ¦β¦β
Raymond didn't speak, but his expression was wonderful, and it seemed that Cloud Shadow was right.
"Forget it, thank you for dinner, you're ready to go."
It's not that she doesn't know that her every move on the druid's territory will be monitored, but selfishly speaking, Cloud Shadow doesn't want the person to spy on her to be Raymond.
"Sorry......"
Cloud Shadow's cold words made Raymond's heart twitch, but the matter of monitoring Cloud Shadow was arranged by his father. So all he could do was say sorry, put down the tray and obediently walked out - by the way, he took the door with him.
"Whewβthat's troublesome."
The tangle and guilt on Raymond's face were not unseen, but what could it be? Excess emotional fluctuations can only make oneself passive.
"Miss Cloud Shadow ......"
When Yunying frowned and strengthened his determination not to be soft-hearted, Feike, who had been standing in the corner, moved his mouth to speak.
"Huh? I'm still going to pretend you're not being noticed. β
"Sorry......"
"Huh. Why do you only say these two words one or two now, is it that the current trend is that just by saying 'sorry', everything will be fine? β
Cloud Shadow picked up a berry newly sent by Raymond and nibbled it again, saying that the berry was full and delicious, but it seemed to be hungry quickly.
"Miss Yunying, you shouldn't have spoken for me just now."
"Oh. Why? β
Cloud Shadow took a bite of the berry, which seemed to be a little astringent.
"Thomas suspected you knew their whereabouts...... And I happened to be in the woods when I was with you, and they brought me to the druid's settlement to test me. β
"So what?"
Cloud Shadow put down the half-eaten berries and turned his gaze to Feiko.
"So you shouldn't admit what you didn't do, Thomas must think I'm the one you sent to spy on them!"
Feike's emotions became agitated, and his expression of shame was clearly displayed on his face.
"Now, Feiko. Can you tell me why you went into this forest alone the other day? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Inconvenient to say?"
Feike's silence made Yunying raise an eyebrow.
ββ¦β¦ Because I want to pick some herbs that thieves usually use. β
Feike closed his eyes and chose his answer.
ββ¦β¦ That's ......."
Cloud Shadow's raised eyebrows slowly recovered: "Then why didn't you say this reason to Thomas before?" β
ββ¦β¦ Because I'm afraid that he won't save me, I think for the sake of Miss Yunying, he will definitely help me. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, I see. β
Cloud Shadow returns to its expressionless state. Since the other party didn't cherish the two confession opportunities that appeared in front of her, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.
"Feike, let's go."
"Huh?"
Feike's eyes flickered.
"I said you go, what you are from now on has nothing to do with me, the lie I told for you just now should be your reward for leading the way for me in the past few months."
"Miss Cloud Shadow ......"
A hint of panic flashed across Feiko's face, but he immediately calmed down again. Yes, he already has his own path to follow. Even if he had to bear the condemnation of his conscience, he could not waver.
"Miss Yunying, then I'll go first."
Feike whispered this and obediently walked out - by the way, he took the door with him.
"Tsk, all tmd are bastards!"
Looking at the closed door, Yun Ying scolded hatefully and continued to eat the berries, but she took two bites and suddenly said, "Is it enjoyable to watch?" β
ββ¦β¦β
The room was quiet with only Yunying alone.
"Why, after listening to it, you are still reluctant to say it?"
ββ¦β¦β
Cloud Shadow felt like she was talking to herself like a psychopath.
"Hey, Raymond, if you don't come out again, I'll go out and talk to Grand Elder Hepburn about being watched by you."
"Don't."
Finally came out, Yun Ying really felt that she was divine, saying that she was just idle and wanted to cheat, but who knew that Raymond had just gone out of the door guiltily, and then appeared in front of the open window.
"Hey, didn't you say the windows of this cabin won't open?"
ββ¦β¦ It can't be opened from the inside. β
Damn, it turned out to be convenient for someone to peep from the outside after doing it for a long time.
"How about it, this time it's cool to listen to it again, but it's a pity that the concentration is not enough, I only blew you up a few times before I was exposed, why Mao is so afraid that I will go to your father to complain?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm just afraid that Yunying, you and your father will quarrel again. β
