Chapter 16: The Fish Takes the Bait
In fact, ruthlessly admired Jiang Liuli very much, in order to catch the flower thief, she actually used herself as bait, although she knew that her strength was extraordinary, but there was still a slight risk, but she did not hesitate to expose herself to the flower thief.
Jiang Liuli walked to the front hall and saw Mrs. Lin talking to a middle-aged man, no need to guess that it must be Master Lin, sure enough, after the man saw Lin Xiyan, he looked at her with a worried face.
"Yan'er, if it wasn't for the sake of praying for Liyuan this time, Dad really didn't want you to go out." Master Lin sighed again and again, he didn't seem to realize that it was not his daughter standing in front of him.
"Don't worry, master, isn't it ruthless for them to accompany you." Master Lin was careless, but Mrs. Lin was very careful to find out that this person was Jiang Liuli, relieved and a little worried at the same time, when she heard the plan last night, although she was not worried about her daughter, she began to worry about Jiang Liuli, after all, they were not waiting for the idle people.
"Alright, let's go and get back quickly." Master Lin sighed helplessly, and could only hope that they would come back sooner.
"My daughter quit." Jiang Liuli saluted Master Lin, and then left slowly, leaving Mrs. Lin with a stunned face, her voice was very similar to Lin Xiyan, if you don't listen carefully, you really can't hear the difference.
The ruthlessness standing behind Jiang Liuli was also shocked, but he quickly returned to normal, still with an expressionless face, if he wasn't familiar with Lin Xiyan, he really couldn't tell that this person was not her.
Jiang Liuli followed a large group of people out of the Lin Mansion, and then got into the carriage that had been arranged long ago, this time there were more people following, and it quickly attracted the attention of others.
"Isn't this Miss Lin? How can you go out at this time, and you are not afraid of being remembered by flower thieves. A woman in her forties said with a worried face.
"You haven't seen so many people behind her, I heard that those people are all sent by the Nameless Villa, they must all be top masters, what is she afraid of." The other woman said in a sour tone.
"That being said, it's safer to stay at home." The first woman to speak was still worried, and it was clear that her worry was not fake.
The carriage slowly moved forward, and the whispers on both sides gradually faded away, Jiang Liuli sat alone in the carriage, carefully observing the surroundings.
Mingxia sat outside the carriage with another maid, looking around with the same vigilant face, although she secretly told herself that she must be calm, but she always couldn't do it, at this time she began to miss Mingyue, with her, she would definitely be able to relax quickly.
It stands to reason that in this special period of the situation, it should be low-key, but the carriage is surrounded by five people who have achieved kung fu, and it is difficult to keep a low profile, so there are many onlookers along the way.
Jiang Liuli came to Yun'an Temple in such a high-profile manner, and every time Lin Xiyan came here to offer incense, so the abbot of the temple was already waiting outside the door.
"Miss Lin has worked hard all the way, please inside." The abbot stood respectfully aside, followed by two men with the same respectful faces.
"It's courteous." Jiang Liuli spoke to the abbot in Lin Xiyan's voice.
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Jiang Liuli walked into the temple and began to worship, and the attitude of Yu Cheng looked quite like it.
Yun'an Temple is some distance from the Lin Mansion, and it took them an hour to arrive in the morning, so they had to stay at the temple for a fast meal at noon before they could go back.
Yun'an Temple is not as clean as home, although it is clean, but there are many noisy people, and there are people who want to come in, it is a very simple thing, and this is also the result that Jiang Liuli wants.
At this time, it was not yet time for dinner, Jiang Liuli first walked around Yun'an Temple, although the scenery in the temple was not very beautiful, but it was relatively fresh.
"Miss, let's go back to the house." Ruthless, who was following behind, suddenly frowned and looked around.
Jiang Liuli looked at him, looked around carefully, and found that someone was observing her not far away, although the person had held his breath, but he was still discovered by her and Ruthless.
"Okay." She knew that the person she was waiting for had already appeared, and there was no need to hang out anymore, and staying outside for a long time would cause him to be suspicious.
Jiang Liuli turned around and prepared to go back, the abbot had already prepared a room for her, and her room was on the other side of the bushes, and she skillfully used the branches to cross off the veil on her face, and her unintentional actions made it impossible to see that it was intentional at all.
The moment the veil fell, she clearly felt that the person hiding in the tree took a big breath, and it seemed that he was amazed by her face.
"Miss." Ming Xia stepped forward in a panic, put the veil on again, and when he looked at Jiang Liuli again, there was no panic in his eyes.
After Jiang Liuli put on the veil again, she continued to walk forward, and after coming to the room, the monk came with a meal, she sat alone at the table to eat, and Ruthless stood outside the door to protect her, and the rest of the people went to eat, and when they ran out, they came to replace Ruthless.
After lunch, Jiang Liuli rested in Yun'an Temple for a while, and then went down the mountain to go home, but it was safe and sound along the way, and there were no problems.
Back at the Lin Mansion, Jiang Liuli asked Lin Xiyan to go to live in other rooms and not show up for the time being, while she stayed in her room and waited for the arrival of the flower thief.
She believed that the flower thief would definitely not be able to bear to come tonight, he had only heard that Lin Xiyan was a beauty, but he had never seen it, so he was naturally unwilling to take the risk of being caught, but today he saw his true face, and he would definitely not be able to help but come, even if he was caught, he would have to see the beauty.
After Jiang Liuli and Lin Xiyan sat together and finished eating, the weather gradually darkened, and they should also prepare for the arrival of the flower thief.
"Xi Yan, you can go to another room tonight." Jiang Liuli saw her face full of sadness, thinking that she was worried about meeting a flower thief.
"Sister, are you really okay staying here? Or I'd better do it. Lin Xiyan was very worried, but she was not worried about her own safety, but Jiang Liuli.
Jiang Liuli raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Xiyan, she was obviously scared, but she still wanted to exchange with herself, it seemed that she was really kind.
"Don't worry, the flower thief can't help me." She smiled softly, except for the people in the Liuli Palace, she was the first person to care about herself so much, is this friendship? It feels so good to be cared for by friends.
"Okay then." Lin Xiyan saw the confidence on her face, so she didn't say anything more, anyway, with ruthless protection, it should be fine.
Lin Xiyan explained a few more words, and then he was worried about leaving away, and before leaving, he also left his personal maid.
As soon as Lin Xiyan walked outside the door, she ruthlessly followed her and prepared to go together, Jiang Liuli saw it, raised her eyebrows and looked at him who had no brains.
"Ruthless, where are you going?" Jiang Liuli said sarcastically when he hadn't gone far.
When Lin Xiyan heard Jiang Liuli's words, he turned around and looked, and when he saw that Ruthless was really following behind him, he smiled helplessly.
"Miss Protection, of course." Ruthless is right, but he has chosen the wrong person.
"Now that I am the eldest lady of the Lin family, if you don't protect me, which young lady are you going to protect?" Jiang Liuli looked at him mockingly, she knew that Ruthless didn't like herself, and she didn't want to pay attention to him, but now the situation was special, so she could only endure it.
Ruthlessly listened to her words, frowning unhappily, he knew that what she said was right, but if he didn't protect Lin Xiyan, who would protect her? Tonight is a special time, what if something happens?
"I'm going to protect Miss, and the others just stay here." After thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to protect Lin Xiyan, and she didn't need the protection of others at all.
"Okay, then you can go, and by the way, lead the flower thief over, and I'll save trouble." Jiang Liuli smiled coldly, does this person have a brain? I haven't thought about the situation yet.
"What do you mean by that?" glared at her mercilessly.
"The eldest lady of the Lin family has many guards around her, and all of them are strong in martial arts, and if the flower thief wants to find Miss Lin, he will naturally find which yard has the most guards first, and then he will start." Jiang Liuli saw that he was so stupid, so he could only explain it to him, otherwise it would be terrible to really lure the flower thief to Lin Xiyan.
"And you, as the person with the highest martial arts in the Lin family, naturally protect the eldest lady of the Lin family, where do you mean that the eldest lady of the Lin family is there, and now you follow Xiyan away, isn't it clear that you will lead the flower thief to her." Jiang Liuli rolled her eyes indecently, is this person really stupid? Or do you just want to stay by Lin Xiyan's side?
"Yes, ruthless, you better stay and protect Sister Liuli, I'm fine." Lin Xiyan smiled gently, in her opinion, Jiang Liuli was the one who needed to be protected the most.
"We're all here, so what are you going to do?" looked at her ruthlessly and worriedly, if something happened to her, how should he explain it to his master?
"I'm fine, don't worry." After Lin Xiyan finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left, ruthlessly seeing this, he could only look at her with a worried face.
"Ming Xia, you go to accompany Xi Yan." Jiang Liuli sighed helplessly when she saw him so worried, making herself worry about her safety.
Ming Xia originally didn't want to go, but after looking at the guards outside the door and the lonely figure in front of him, he finally didn't say anything about refusal.
"Yes." Ming Xia replied, and then chased after Lin Xiyan, she was so good to Jiang Liuli, and she should protect her.
After Ming Xia caught up with Lin Xiyan, she turned around and smiled gratefully at Jiang Liuli, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness with Ming Xia.
In fact, Jiang Liuli planned to let Ming Xia protect Lin Xiyan at the beginning, but seeing that there was no one else in Ruthless's eyes, he wanted to tease him.
However, what he did was very dissatisfied with her, and it could be seen that Lin Xiyan only had Wu Liyuan in his heart, and he didn't see Ruthless's heart for him at all, otherwise he would never let him stay by his side.
The move just now has gone beyond the master-servant relationship, Lin Xiyan was simple-minded and didn't think much about it, but Jiang Liuli found that he couldn't control his emotions, that worry was no longer as simple as the master-servant relationship, if it was known by others, he would definitely want to be crooked, which would only ruin Lin Xiyan's reputation.
Although he was only in a hurry for a while, he would show this undeserved emotion, but such emotions had already exceeded the norm, and if Wu Liyuan knew about it, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
