Chapter 247

Her two remaining close friends must have found new lives by now.

How could we have been so heartless back then?

No one left their contact information.

Wouldn't that mean we'd never see each other again?

"But for mercenaries, never seeing each other again is probably the best option."

Milutin closed his eyes and spoke softly.

For mercenaries like them, never seeing each other again is the best outcome, for everyone's sake.

"Miss Milutin, what are you thinking about?"

The soft call in her ear pulled Milutin back from her reverie.

"Hmm? No, I was just thinking about some things from the past."

Milutin scratched his head sheepishly.

Oh dear, I've been thinking about those old things without even realizing it.

I originally intended to forget all those fighting and killing.

Sigh, it seems that as people get older, they tend to reminisce about the past.

"You looked very happy just now."

While comforting Ning Shuang beside her, Su Qian chatted idly with Milutin.

Both of the maids Milutin and Yao Shi, gave her a very mysterious feeling.

They could never be ordinary maids.

This made her extremely interested in the two of them.

Especially Miss Milutin.

The forlorn expression on the other person's face when they were lost in thought.

What is the story behind Miss Milutin's past?

"Haha, really? Ah, the young master and the others have come out too."

"Young Master! Over here!!"

Milutin laughed awkwardly.

But her attention was quickly drawn to Wu Liang and his party who appeared from the exit.

"Why do they seem even more panicked than we are?"

Su Qian followed Milutin's gaze toward the exit.

She was slightly puzzled when she saw Wu Liang and the other two, whose faces were ashen and who kept glancing behind them.

In Su Qian's memory.

Wu Liang and the maid named Yao Shi were both very calm.

And those two people probably wouldn't be too scared when faced with something like a haunted house.

How come now...

.

"Yao Qing, Yao Qing, your young master is out."

Upon seeing Wu Liang and the others, Uncle Li hurriedly called out to Yao Qing beside him.

He reached behind him, but found nothing.

"Huh? Where did that kid go??"

Uncle Li turned his head to look behind him.

Yao Qing, who was sitting here a moment ago, has long since disappeared.

He was left all alone, guarding this place.

Whoosh!!

It was at this very moment.

A dark shadow, barely visible to the naked eye, slammed straight into the back of his head.

Uncle Li suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.

Before he could even utter a sound, his vision went white and he fainted...

Inside the pavilion

"Who are you?"

He Jingao looked at the beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared in front of him with some confusion.

He didn't recognize the sexy beauty in front of him.

But why did the other party act as if they were familiar with each other?

Did a Lin Daiyu fall from the sky?

No way, don't these kinds of good things always happen to the male protagonists in novels?

"Excuse me, ma'am, is there something you need from us?"

He Xue blinked and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't know such a beautiful woman.

But for some reason, she always felt like she had seen him somewhere before.

Especially those teasing eyes of the other person.

He Xue felt a sense of familiarity.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I really hope you can help me."

"I don't know what to do now."

Yao Qing took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he rushed in front of He Xue and grabbed her small hand.

Her crimson eyes glistened with tears.

A look of panic appeared on her delicate and pretty face.

Her watery eyes were filled with fear and panic, as if she were afraid of something.

"What happened? Tell me slowly, sister."

He Xue was startled when her hands were suddenly grabbed.

But after seeing the deep unease and fear in the beautiful woman's eyes...

He Xue gently took the other person's small hand in her own and asked softly.

Feeling the coldness and trembling from the other person's fingertips.

A hint of pity flashed in He Xue's eyes.

What could possibly frighten such a beautiful woman like this? Did she encounter a pervert or something?

"My grandma suddenly fainted over there, please help me."

Yao Qing bit her red lips and looked up at He Jingao in a panic.

The trembling female voice, like a silver bell, tugged at the hearts of He Jingao and He Xue.

"Is it heatstroke? This weather definitely makes it easy to get heatstroke."

Upon hearing this He Jingao hurriedly got up and walked to look into the distance.

An elderly woman with gray hair collapsed on the ground as if she had suffered heatstroke.

"Grandpa, let's go help!"

"Sister, don't worry, we'll come with you right away."

He Xue also noticed the old woman lying on the ground.

He quickly spoke up to comfort the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Yao Qing lowered her head and spoke in a trembling voice.

But the earlier panic was no longer visible on her delicate face.

Her bright red lips curved into a slight smile.

Yao Qing smiled...

Chapter 86: He Xue's Attention (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets 12/12)

Han Yu sat there, her face pale and her expression blank.

Every now and then, he would suddenly turn his head to look at the exit behind him.

She was particularly concerned, as if something terrifying was about to leap out from there.

At this moment, Han Yu looked like a refugee who had just escaped from an ice hole.

My calves were trembling uncontrollably, and my whole body was ice cold.

This was in stark contrast to the scorching heat under the blazing sun.

Yao Shi appeared much calmer than Han Yu.

But her pale face also showed deep disgust.

It was as if I had seen the most disgusting creature imaginable.

Her complexion was now arguably even worse than Han Yu's.

"..."

Wu Liang covered his forehead, pretending to be deep in thought.

He sat alone in the chair, seemingly lost in thought.

Wu Liang's furrowed brows showed that he was in a bad mood.

"Hey, hey, what exactly happened to you guys inside?"

Milutin and the others stared blankly at the three people in front of them, who seemed to have lost their souls.

What exactly happened to these three people in that haunted house?

Why were you so scared? It felt like you'd seen a real ghost.

"Yao Shi? What exactly did you see inside?"

A silence enveloped him.

Milutin, unable to contain himself any longer, turned to look at Yao Shi, whose face was ashen.

She could understand if it was the eldest daughter of the Han Family who was frightened inside.

But why have Yao Shi and the young master become so strange?

These two people shouldn't be scared by those things at all.

"Don't bring this up again."

Yao Shi murmured, her face ashen and her brows furrowed.

She didn't want to recall what had just happened in that corridor.
