BXBX NOVEL Chapter 169 - 169 Friend
She let out a breath, squatted down, and pulled a few pieces of clothes from the dead people, then picked up all the knives and wrapped them up.
At this time, Wang Li and the others came in a hurry. Ming Zhiyan pointed at a few officials, they ordered, “You two carry them out. You two take the two bags. Wang Li, you take the rest of the people to investigate this place.”
Everyone accepted the order. “Yes!”
The two people carrying the bags were carrying a big bag of things. They were puzzled as to why it was so heavy.
Jian Qingqing went to carry Xiao Ye and asked worriedly, “Are the two of them okay?”
After all, the two of them were injured because of her. If something happened to them because of her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Ming Zhiyan took Xiao Ye and shook his head. “They suffered some internal injuries. They’ll be fine after recuperating for a while.”
Jian Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief and handed Xiao Ye to him. “I don’t know if Xiao Ye inhaled too much knockout powder, but he hasn’t woken up yet.”
The sky was already slightly bright.
Ming Zhiyan carried Xiao Ye with one hand and examined him with the other. “He’s fine. He’s about to wake up.”
The atmosphere turned cold again. Jian Qingqing looked at his cold face. She could tell that he was a little unhappy, but she did not know why. She racked her brain to search for a topic, she praised, “You were really amazing just now! I didn’t expect your kung fu to be so good! Xiao Ye is really lucky to be learning martial arts from you!”
Hearing that, Ming Zhiyam replied with a flat ‘hmm’, his face expressionless.
Jian Qingqing scratched her head and quickly followed behind him. She stole a glance at him and saw that he really did not have any reaction. She sighed in frustration. It was really hard to guess what a man was thinking.
She said with some disappointment, “Thank you so much for today. Otherwise, I would have died there. You have helped me so many times. I don’t even know how to thank you.”
Ming Zhiyan paused in his footsteps and lowered his head to look at her. He sighed in his heart. He did not know why he was angry with her, but when he heard that she had come to Cairo City alone with Xiao Ye, he felt angry. He blamed her for trusting others’s words too easily. She didn ot discuss anything with him and did not tell him. After all, he treated her as his younger sister.
“Aren’t we friends?”
Jian Qingqing let out a ‘huh?’. Why did she hear a hint of grievance in Ming Zhi Yan’s cold tone?
She shook her head to get rid of this ridiculous thought. Only then did she realize what Ming Zhiyan had said. She was stunned. Friends?
To be honest, she had always felt that Ming Zhiyan was not from the same world as her. Although he was the county magistrate of Shifeng County, he could still tell that his family background was extraordinary. It was possible that he was a noble young master who came from a large family to train. The conversation between him and Liang Chenghe just now had confirmed this point. Liang Chenghe called him Crown Prince Ming, so this gave her a deep sense of distance from Ming Zhiyan. She treated him with respect like an elder.
In addition, Ming Zhiyan’s personality had always been distant and indifferent. He had the appearance of a noble young master. Although he was very amiable when talking to her, it could be seen that his entire body was shrouded in cold air. No one dared to come close, and she was no exception. She had always found it difficult to talk to him.
However, now he asked her if they were ‘friends’.
This meant that he thought they were friends.
