Qin Yu didn't see that on the other side of the lantern, a man's gaze was following her.

The man's long, narrow eyes lingered on the woman's face with a look of amazement.

This person was none other than Linghu, who had run away from the wall of Qin Yu's house.

Linghu is his surname; he only remembers that his surname is Linghu.

I don't remember anything else, not even where I came from.

All I know is that he's been in the Thousand Machine Tower since he was ten years old.

At a young age, he relied on his skills and ruthlessness to kill countless companions before finally reaching the old master.

He wanted to find out about the Linghu family.

But before he could say it, he was locked in a dark cell.

Inside, he underwent even more brutal training and physical and mental torture.

Two years later, he was released and began carrying out missions.

The Thousand Machine Tower has a dedicated intelligence network.

Nobody knows, and nobody can crack it.

The old owner was unwilling to participate in the struggles within and outside the court, and did not want to be owned by any party.

But he knew they were all fake.

Because he was sixteen that year, the old master of the tower summoned him to the forbidden area of ​​the Thousand Machine Tower.

It was only on that day that I learned that Qianji Tower was backed by a powerful family of officials in the imperial court, the Zhou family, the maternal family of the Empress.

The old landlord made him swear allegiance to the Zhou family, and said that he would only tell him everything about the Linghu family after the Empress's son ascended the throne.

Linghu agreed.

Therefore, he remained loyal to the Empress after taking over.

However, this time he found out about the Linghu family and followed the clues all the way here.

However, they were chased on the way.

If it weren't for the toxins in his body activating at that moment.

He won't be hunted down by those people, nor will he encounter her!

But every time, the woman would glare at him with a hostile look and a murderous glint in her eyes.

Linghu's gaze followed her every change of expression, watching her intently.

I don't know if it's because I was having a pleasant day after the miscarriage, or something else.

He was surprised to see a smile on Qin Yu's face that he had never seen before.

It was the first time he had met her, and she was so different from her aggressive demeanor.

Even her eyes were filled with gentleness and tenderness.

It makes you want to immerse yourself in it.

She wore a plain white dress in the dim light.

It has a hazy, ethereal beauty, like looking at a fairy through a fairyland.

For the first time, he felt that her laughter made all the surrounding lanterns pale in comparison.

No wonder that's how people describe her.

This wasn't the first time Linghu had met a woman.

I have seen countless beautiful women.

Even among his subordinates, there were quite a few who were exceptionally good-looking.

But for some reason, compared to the woman in front of him, she seemed utterly inferior to him.

A smile crept onto his lips, mirroring the expression on the woman's face.

Just as he was laughing, Qin Yu's gaze lingered on his own face.

But she only glanced at herself, smiled gently, and turned back to continue admiring the lanterns.

That smile made his heart feel like it had been struck.

Even though it was the look in my eyes when I looked at a stranger.

But that smile was too attractive to him.

Qin Yu only saw a stranger looking at him.

However, the man's gaze was so intense that she noticed it.

She could only turn around and look at other places.

She turned around and bumped into a man.

"Miss, are you shopping alone?"

The man walked over carrying a lantern.

Qin Yu glanced at the lanterns and felt they looked somewhat familiar.

"I noticed you looked at this lantern for quite a while, so I suppose you like it!"

Wang Xin looked a little embarrassed.

He wasn't planning to go out today, but his younger sister kept urging him to.

He said that since she rarely came back, he would definitely accompany her to go out and admire the lanterns.

He didn't want to disappoint his sister, so he had no choice but to accompany her.

But unexpectedly, I saw her at the market.

The woman's appearance was a pleasant surprise.

The aloof and lonely atmosphere made him want to get closer.

He stood behind the woman and saw that she had been standing in front of the lantern for a long time.

I saw her hand sweep across the yellow paper of the riddle, and then put it down.

After standing there for a while, I went to the next one.

Curious, he reached out and touched the yellow paper.

The lights are hard to extinguish when it rains.

The wind makes the color brighter

If you fly up

Custom-made moon-side star

The riddles weren't difficult, but they were still a source of amusement for the stall owners.

Without saying a word, he guessed the answer and followed her with the lantern.

I was thinking about how to greet them, hesitating about how to start the conversation.

He hesitated for a long time before he was about to speak when he bumped into the woman who had turned around.

A blush crept across her face, and she immediately asked.

Qin Yu smiled when he saw the lanterns.

She replied, "You misunderstood. I just thought it looked nice and glanced at it a couple of times, but I don't like it!"

Wang Xin realized she had said something wrong and immediately followed after him.

"Where are you from, young lady? I've never seen you before!"

Qin Yu turned her head to look at the man.

Wang Xin suddenly felt awkward.

"I...I just think the lanterns are pretty and I wanted to give them to you!"

Qin Yu didn't answer him, but noticed a stall selling hair accessories behind the man.

He turned and walked away.

Do you have white pearl flowers? Or silk flowers?

The stall owner was speechless for a moment, never expecting anyone to buy silk flowers on the Lantern Festival.

He wouldn't sell these things, so he naturally shook his head and said no.

After searching for a long time, I found a white magnolia hairpin, which looked like a silk flower from a distance.

Wang Xin assumed she had lost a family member and felt somewhat awkward.

Since we don't know how long he has been dead, it might be a long time before he can get married.

But to his surprise, he heard the woman say something.

"My husband passed away not long ago! I'm sorry, young master, the lanterns are beautiful, but I really don't like them!"

The lanterns are beautiful, and she can also try to solve the riddles herself.

However, she had no intention of buying it.

Because she learned to control her desires from a young age.

You don't have to own what you like.

Besides, she could buy it herself.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xin froze on the spot, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she held the lantern in her hand.

He naturally knew what the white silk flowers meant.

I thought a family member had died, but it turned out to be my husband.

I really didn't expect that.

The hand that was holding the lantern also fell down.

Linghu, standing not far away, watched this scene and found it amusing.

I silently feel sorry for the man!

Seeing his reaction, Qin Yu turned around and continued walking forward.

She hadn't originally brought any silk flowers; she hadn't wanted to.

Wearing silk flowers today saves me the trouble.

Before I knew it, I had walked onto the bridge.

They bumped right into Xu Shaoting.

Xu Shaoting stood on the bridge, holding a peony lantern in his hand.

Upon seeing her appear, he quickly walked over.

"What a coincidence, you're here to visit the lantern festival too?"

Qin Yu didn't find anything strange about seeing Xu Shaoting and casually replied with an "Mm".

Many people are releasing river lanterns under the bridge.

As Qin Yu was looking at them, he heard Xu Shaoting continue, "Each river lantern represents a beautiful wish. Aren't you going to release one?"
