I Will Take Action

A long silence hung in the air.

Yu Qinghan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said all that. I'm just being gossipy, making a fool of myself in front of you."

They had just met, and her behavior would inevitably seem strange.

"It's okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked."

After hearing Yu Qinghan's story, Zhao Huai couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy.

Now he knew where the strange feeling he got from this woman came from.

She had killed people; no wonder her eyes were as sharp as knives, and her mentality was already different from ordinary people.

But he wouldn't comfort her, because the fact that she could tell the story meant she had already let it go.

All he could do was listen quietly; what more could he hope for?

Everyone's own life was already difficult enough; why bother worrying about others?

"Young Master, aren't you afraid of me?"

Yu Qinghan was very surprised to see Zhao Huai's expression.

Although her story was partially fabricated, half true and half false, the overall direction was still the same. After hearing it, this man wasn't afraid at all. Normal people would probably be terrified for a long time after hearing that she had killed people, right?

"I'm not afraid."

Zhao Huai shook his head.

"Miss Yu has a broad mind, far surpassing others."

A strange look flashed in Yu Qinghan's eyes, and she smiled, "Young Master's words are truly unexpected."

"It seems Young Master is also a person with a story."

But Zhao Huai seemed not to hear, silently pondering to himself.

Objectively speaking, Yu Qinghan had a good personality, and her conversation with him was natural and appropriate. If one were to disregard her identity as a daughter of a military family, marrying such a beautiful wife would be a fortunate thing.

If the result of the copper coins was good, he might spend more time with her.

With that thought, Zhao Huai took a light breath and made his decision, calmly saying, "Miss Yu, I think we should still not—"

Suddenly.

A loud "Bang!" came from outside, interrupting everything.

"Sir, you really can't come in!"

"We haven't done any business today!"

"The whole city is being searched, and your matchmaking agency is no exception!"

Immediately afterward, the two exchanged a glance.

Zhao Huai was quick-witted and immediately realized that the search party had arrived.

For a moment, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Yu Qinghan comforted him, seeing Zhao Huai's expression.

The sound came from the corridor outside the room.

The gate of the small courtyard was kicked open, and the young servant boy stood guard at the entrance, staring at the entrance with a look of fright. The corridor, originally filled with peach trees symbolizing love, now had a group of uninvited guests.

Soldiers clad in scale armor, with fine steel sabers hanging from their waists, jogged in, their armor making crisp "rustling" sounds.

They lined up in two rows, and a rough count showed there were more than a dozen of them.

Leading them was a burly man wearing a cyan martial robe, with a braided beard, dark skin, a strong build, and a fierce expression.

Clearly, he was the commander of this squad of soldiers.

Standing opposite him was the matchmaker who had just greeted Zhao Huai.

At this moment, the matchmaker looked distressed, earnestly trying to persuade him, "Sir, our matchmaking agency is, after all, a government institution. How could we be harboring criminals!"

The commander coldly said, "We have a search warrant and are acting under orders. How dare you block my men? You truly have a death wish!"

"If you delay important matters, ten heads wouldn't be enough to be chopped off!"

"Men!"

The next second, the commander ruthlessly gave the order.

"Search for me!"

"Be sure to find the person Prince Qin is looking for."

The soldiers received the order and dispersed, heading towards the gate.

For a time, the entire courtyard was in chaos.

There weren't many people at the matchmaker's today to begin with, and now they were all being driven out.

Each one was dragged out like a chick, their faces filled with tension and fear.

Those who didn't know better would have thought this was a brothel.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came, and a soldier flew out of the room, crashing heavily into the wall on the side. Cracks spread across the wall like a spider web, shattering it in every direction.

A figure in white robes embroidered with plum blossoms slowly walked out.

At the same time, a handsome young man stood behind the woman.

"Such strong power."

Zhao Huai looked at the miserable scene before him, his expression extremely surprised, then fixed his gaze on Yu Qinghan.

He initially thought that the strength this young lady spoke of was merely the peak of external martial arts, at most Qi Refining first level.

He didn't expect he had underestimated her.

This palm strike was at least at the level of Qi Refining third level or higher, not excluding the possibility of even greater strength.

"Strange, wasn't the result of the divination 'Good Fortune'? How did we still encounter this?"

Zhao Huai looked at the figures of the commander and the others, thinking in confusion, wondering if the result of the copper coins was wrong, or if he had done something to change the result?

He could settle everyone present with just a breath.

However, this would undoubtedly expose his whereabouts and once again attract the attention of the Xia Dynasty government.

The leading commander saw Yu Qinghan's attack, his face unsightly, but also with a hint of shock in his eyes.

The residual true qi fluctuations in the air were far more terrifying than his, who had just entered Qi Refining first level.

What is the origin of this person! "Are you the people sent from above?"

Yu Qinghan's voice was very cold, her almond eyes narrowed as she questioned.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with intense killing intent, her aura domineering, her edge sharp, as if she had become a different person, completely different from the gentle woman in the room just now.

Although the commander was afraid in his heart, he still braced himself and said, "That's right, we are acting under orders to capture traitors. Who are you?"

Yu Qinghan sneered upon hearing this, "A mere Major General, without knowing the roots or the bottom line, don't wade into this muddy water. You don't even know you're being used as a pawn."

After speaking, Yu Qinghan threw out a jade token. The commander caught the token, and after just one glance, his hands trembled, his eyes widened, filled with horror, and he pointed at Yu Qinghan, saying:

"You are!"

In the commander's heart.

The level of this token was too high!

He had only heard of it. In the army, as long as you saw it, it was an absolute iron command.

"Aren't you going to get lost!"

Yu Qinghan shouted, interrupting him.

"This subordinate has been rude!"

The leading commander gave Yu Qinghan a respectful military salute, with not the slightest bit of dissatisfaction on his face.

Then, he led the soldiers behind him and hurriedly left.

This scene left Zhao Huai looking surprised.

It seems Yu Qinghan has a powerful backing; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to scare away the searching soldiers.

At this moment, Zhao Huai understood why the copper coin divination had resulted in "good fortune."

With Yu Qinghan's background, he was able to get through this round of searches.

Those people just now, could they have been sent by her family? Or perhaps they were subordinates of someone she knows.

Actually, the result of the copper coins wasn't wrong; he had just jumped to conclusions too early.

"Miss is indeed from an extraordinary background!"

Zhao Huai stood behind Yu Qinghan, deliberately feigning admiration.

"It's all just troublesome matters; I've made a fool of myself in front of you, young master."

Yu Qinghan withdrew her imposing aura and smiled slightly at Zhao Huai.

"This is..."

The matchmaker on the side was very surprised by the scene that had just unfolded.

Compared to Zhao Huai, she was even more confused.

"Thanks to this Miss Yu you introduced; otherwise, this time would have been fraught with danger," Zhao Huai said with a smile.

"It's this Miss Yu."

"Miss Yu? If I remember correctly, the person I found for you, young master, was surnamed Liu."

The matchmaker was somewhat baffled.
