Chapter 505 An Unexpected Encounter at the Summit
"Where are you going?" Gao Qiu's voice tinged with urgency upon hearing the news. "Do you need me to secretly deploy troops for protection? Is an army of 100,000 sufficient?"
An army of 100,000? Ridiculous. Master Lin snorted dismissively, "What I am about to do is of the utmost secrecy within the Great Hua Empire. Aside from you and me, no one else is allowed to know. Should anyone dare to pry—Gao Qiu, I trust you know what to do."
Hearing the solemnity in his voice, Gao Qiu nodded hastily, "Understood. Rest assured, Brother Lin, if anyone dares to expose your whereabouts, I will personally remove their head."
"What is he up to?" Seeing Gao Qiu's carriage moving further and further away in the opposite direction, Qin Xian'er asked suspiciously, "Is he actually angry with us? Why won't he interact with us?"
Her expression showed some worry. Xiao Qingxuan gently took her hand and reassured her, "Sister, don't worry. You know My Dear's temperament well. He has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. It's unlikely that he's easily angered. Most likely, he's hiding something from us."
Qin Xian'er felt Xiao Qingxuan's grip on her palm, struggled briefly, but seeing her heavily pregnant, her face filled with concern, she stopped resisting. "Why are you holding me? Be careful, I might accidentally hurt you." Qin Xian'er pouted and turned her face away but allowed Xiao Qingxuan to hold her hand.
Ning'er chuckled softly, "What could he possibly hide from us? Every renowned young lady in the capital who has set eyes on our big brother is already here, save those who can't catch his eye. Where else could he go to philander? Ah, perhaps some young lady from another province has arrived in the capital today?"
Her words amused the other wives, who giggled blushing. Only the Second Miss pouted, "The bad guy is not chasing after skirts. He must be up to something important. I trust him!"
