Chapter 158: Dying Was the Only Reasonable Outcome
The old man in hemp and the little girl in pink were leaning against a large bluestone slab about half a zhang long, resting in the shade.
Seeing Li Musheng's group arrive, the old man in hemp narrowed his eyes slightly, while the little girl in pink kept her gaze fixed on Li Musheng as he stepped out of the carriage, looking him over intently.
The scene she had witnessed from a distance the night before floated back into her mind, and her eyes flickered with thought. She seemed to be trying to read something from Li Musheng's appearance.
Yet no matter how closely she observed, all she could find was that Li Musheng carried not a trace of True Qi within him, and he showed no sign whatsoever of concealing a hidden cultivation.
The little girl in pink furrowed her delicate brows slightly, her puzzlement no closer to being resolved. She simply could not shake the feeling that something about Li Musheng was not quite right.
At this point, Hu Rui'an, noticing the little girl's gaze, showed a peculiar expression.
First Shen Anran had been following Li Musheng relentlessly, and now a small child was paying him this much attention. He knew perfectly well that Li Musheng possessed formidable martial Dao cultivation, yet he still could not quite understand what it was about this prince that drew people in so completely.
Li Musheng had naturally noticed the little girl's gaze as well. He glanced at Hu Rui'an, and felt he detected a trace of naked envy in the man's eyes. After all, the man did not have anything close to Li Musheng's looks, and could not attract the admiration of women young and old alike.
"That little one is clearly hungry. Take the roast chicken we packed and give it to her."
