The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 588 - Chapter 588 Chapter 587 Prepare Yourself Mentally in Advance

Chapter 588: Chapter 587: Prepare Yourself Mentally in Advance Chapter 588: Chapter 587: Prepare Yourself Mentally in Advance Mentioning the mysterious person number thirteen.

Yun Sang seemed to think of something and mysteriously waved his hand, “He can’t accomplish that either.”

“Hm?” Xun Xiaoran was clueless and asked, “Didn’t you previously say that Huan Yan had already discovered that number thirteen is in Z Country?”

Yun Sang let out a light “Hmph,” seemingly scoffing with a bit of smugness as well.

Xun Xiaoran was completely baffled.

“Forget about it, let’s just sit back and enjoy the show,” Yun Sang said with interest.

“Haha, indeed it’s quite a spectacle.

Team 1515 is full of tricks, all because they rely on our Shadow Hunter’s integrity, huh.

Now it’s great, we don’t need to expose them; someone else is doing it!

It’s just too bad for that little journalist, if someone like Huan Yan targets her, she might end up in a heap of trouble.” Xun Xiaoran was pleased but also a bit worried.

Yun Sang shook his head, “No, she won’t.”

He had already guessed that this was a little gift Lu Mian had given to him and accepted it in a joyous mood.

It was Huan Yan who was arrogant and unrelenting, busy getting into their hair before the competition, looking for trouble.

Now, let’s see if he still has the time to stir up more mischief.

Yun Sang, who previously had no fighting spirit, was now perking up, “Come on, let’s analyze some tactical issues.”

Xun Xiaoran: …S God, weren’t you just down and out a moment ago?

aEUR”aEUR”

Luoxia Town.

Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo flew to the city, where someone came to meet them as they walked out of the terminal.

The person was a man in his fifties, dressed in a fitting suit.

“Mr.

Xiao.” The man greeted Xiao Qimo respectfully, and when his gaze fell on Lu Mian, he appeared surprised.

He had been ordered to pick up two people but hadn’t expected one of them to be a girl.

While giving a hum of acknowledgement, Xiao Qimo introduced Lu Mian, “My girlfriend, Lu Mian.”

The man looked even more surprised and, realizing the situation, said warmly while bowing his head, “Nice to meet you, Miss Lu.”

Looking towards Lu Mian, Xiao Qimo said, “This is Butler Xin of the farm.”

A farm?

So their destination this time was a farm.

Lu Mian followed with a greeting to “Butler Xin,” casually surveying the man in his fifties, her eyes narrowing slightly.

The well-dressed farm butler didn’t have the telltale marks of hard labor on his face or hands.

A playful glint flashed across her eyes as she took her seat in the car with a mischievously curved lip.

Xiao Qimo then sat beside her in the back seat.

The car drove through the unmetropolitan town; the farm was quite a distance from the airport.

Lu Mian sat squarely in the back seat and, after sending a message assuring safety to Ya Ling and the others, began to close her eyes and rest up.

Xiao Qimo rather enjoyed this private world for two.

Away from Jinjing, away from Wucheng, without friends or subordinates around, it was just the two of them.

For now, no one could compete with him for Lu Mian.

Xiao Qimo felt exceptionally good, sat up a bit straighter, got closer to Lu Mian, and deliberately let Lu Mian lean on his shoulder.

Lu Mian leaned on him languidly, not particularly heartfelt.

“What’s up, in a bad mood?” Xiao Qimo inquired.

“No.”

Lu Mian wasn’t in a bad mood, just preoccupied with thoughts, unable to feel at ease for the moment.

From the driver’s seat, Xin Bo glanced at Lu Mian through the rearview mirror, seeing her cool and serious demeanor, not exactly cheerful, and pretty much understood.

“Miss Lu must be tired, right?

You’ve been on the plane for several hours, and now you have to endure a car ride; it’s indeed quite tiring.

However, we need three hours to get back to the farm, Miss Lu will have to bear with it a little longer.”

He understood; delicate and pretty girls coming to such a tough place surely wouldn’t be happy about it.

But Lu Mian just smiled, “I’m not tired.”

Xiao Qimo casually asked, “Is everything ready at the farm?”

“Yes, everything is ready,” Xin Bo respectfully replied, “but…

at first, you mentioned two people, and since we didn’t expect the other one to be a young lady, we didn’t prepare much in terms of a woman’s necessities…”

“It’s fine as long as there’s a place to stay,” Lu Mian wasn’t too demanding.

The only thing she was particular about was the bed, but in such an environment, she couldn’t be choosy.

Xin Bo paused for a moment, then advised with some concern, “The conditions in the countryside really can’t compare with the city, Miss Lu should still prepare herself mentally.

But if you have any issues, please just say so.

It’s natural to feel uncomfortable, and we will try our best to meet your needs.”

Lu Mian: …

Too lazy to explain, she thanked him and then continued to lean on Xiao Qimo’s shoulder, savoring the refined scent of the man beside her, and pursed her lips.

What identity was Director Qimo assuming this time?

Based on the butler’s attitude towards Director Qimo, he must be someone in a leading position.

Could it be that the farm belonged to Director Qimo?

The car continued on its way, and Xin Bo didn’t disturb the two of them anymore.

The two snuggled up to each other, resting for over two hours in total, and by the time they were about to reach the farm, it was already eleven o’clock at night.

Xin Bo reminded the two people behind him.

“Mr.

Xiao, Miss Lu, we’re almost there.”

Both of them moved their bodies and felt some numbness from the prolonged contact, awkwardly turning their faces away from each other.

Lu Mian glanced out of the window casually; under the night sky, there were no street lights on either side of the road, and all that spanned on either side were endless fields, with just a few scattered buildings lit up, indicating that people indeed lived here.

Due to the season, most fields were not planted with crops, which made them look a bit desolate.

Xin Bo spoke while driving, “Everyone was quite happy to hear that you were coming over today, especially Yuelu, she’s mentioned it several times.”

Xiao Qimo replied with gentlemanly politeness, “It was a last-minute decision; sorry for the inconvenience.”

“Not at all.

Recently, Yuelu had a…” Xin Bo hesitated, as if avoiding some topic, then after choosing his words carefully, he continued, “There was a document that was planned to be sent to you these next couple of days.

Hearing that you were coming over today, she said it would be a good opportunity to discuss it with you.”

“Hmm,” Xiao Qimo responded and asked, “How’s the progress recently?”

Xin Bo looked up at Xiao Qimo in the back seat, and the latter’s straightforward question made him subconsciously glance at Lu Mian, wondering if it was really okay to discuss this matter in front of an outsider.

“Not so good…

You’ll see when you get there.”

The car stopped under a wooden signboard.

Written on the signboard was: Qiushui Flower Farm.

Following the sign, Lu Mian looked towards the end of the road where there was a three-story building with a pointed roof surrounded by a white wooden fence.

It had a large ground but felt somewhat empty.

Xiao Qimo took her hand as they got out of the car.

Xin Bo intended to help them with their luggage, but seeing that Lu Mian’s black backpack was in the suitcase, Xiao Qimo didn’t delegate, instead he carried it himself.

They had arrived too late, and many at the farm had already gone to rest.

Only the yard and the living room were still lit.

As they walked, Lu Mian quietly observed the surroundings.
