Chapter 484

484. Chapter 484: Is what he said true?

Qiao Xuehua's face flushed on its own; she lifted her gaze and glared at Bu Yun, saying, 'Who was looking at you?'

'Mm, you weren't.'

Bu Yun said with a smiling expression.

Qiao Xuehua saw him staring at her without looking away.

She spoke up, 'It's getting late; I'm going to sleep. You should go home.'

'Okay.'

Bu Yun walked a few steps toward the window, stopped, and looked at Qiao Xuehua, saying, 'Qiao Xuehua, if you ever need my help, just come find me.'

After he left.

Qiao Xuehua couldn't sleep for a long time, so she didn't get up until mid-morning the next day.

She got up.

After washing up and eating the breakfast Lan Yue Niang had left for her, Qiao Xuehua suddenly recalled Bu Yun's words from yesterday, hired a carriage, and drove to the gate of the Inner City.

The Inner City is where officials of fifth rank and above, as well as princesses and princes, reside.

Ordinary people cannot enter.

Qiao Xuehua, as before, asked the city guards to help pass along a message.

Not long after.

Qiao Sheng then sent someone to fetch them into the city.

Upon seeing Qiao Sheng, Qiao Xuehua wanted to speak but hesitated.

Qiao Sheng noticed, dismissed the people around him, and said, 'You little girl, what do you want to tell me by coming to see me?'

Qiao Xuehua sat down and related to Qiao Sheng what Bu Yun had told her.

Before Qiao Sheng could say anything,

Qiao Xuehua looked at Qiao Sheng and said, 'Elder sister, are you also a reborn person? Otherwise, how would you know about Earth Dragon Reversal? No, that doesn't make sense either, you...'

Qiao Sheng had originally intended to tell Qiao Xuehua the truth.

But after thinking, she decided not to.

If she knew they were really already dead,

she would probably be especially sad.

Qiao Sheng opened her mouth and said, 'I'm not a reborn person; as I said before, I just dreamed about it...'

'Right.'

Qiao Xuehua stopped dwelling on that issue and said to Qiao Sheng, 'Elder sister, do you think what he said is true?'

'I think it probably is.'

After finishing, Qiao Sheng continued, 'Xuehua, Bu Yun seems like a decent person. If he's sincere toward you, you can try dating him. If it works out, you can marry; if not, just forget it.'

'Sister...'

Qiao Xuehua stamped her foot.

Qiao Sheng laughed and said, 'You little girl, why are you still shy? That's not how you used to be. From this, it seems you do have some feelings for Bu Yun...'

'Sister, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll ignore you.'

Qiao Xuehua turned her body away so she wouldn't have to look at Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng stopped teasing her.

'Okay, okay, okay, can't I stop talking about this? Now I'm getting to the point: when you go see Bu Yun again, ask him for me which places are involved in Earth Dragon Reversal...'

Qiao Xuehua agreed, left their home, and took a carriage to find Bu Yun.

I had thought he knew, but he hadn't paid attention to these things.

As the day Bu Yun had mentioned approached.

Qiao Sheng had everyone in the household go out camping.

Imperial Capital

Qiao Sheng had already let Shi Lin get in touch with the emperor, and now everywhere they are on guard.

On the evening of the fourth day of the tenth month, a heavy snow began to fall.

Fortunately, when Qiao Sheng had them set up the tent earlier, she made it fairly sturdy.

Therefore.

Inside, with a charcoal fire burning, it's not cold.

Bu Yun was with them.

Now he sits beside the outdoor bonfire, chatting with Qiao Xuehua and the others while roasting the pheasant and rabbit he hunted today.

After eating and sitting for a while, they each returned to their tents to rest.

An Yi and the others didn't all sleep; they took turns keeping watch.

Qiao Sheng worried that the children would be cold, so she never left the tent; after they each fell asleep, she took the children and Shi Lin together into the space.

She settled the children properly.

Qiao Sheng gave the giant python a few instructions, then she and Shi Lin left the space.
