239 Find Her
Many people around also heard the waiter’s shout and glanced in Kong Rui’s direction.
The waiter patted his mouth lightly and blinked at Kong Rui. Then, he lowered his voice and asked, “Miss, are you from Fragrant Garden?”
“What? I don’t look like it?” Kong Rui asked the waiter with a smile, as if she didn’t notice the gazes of the surrounding people.
The waiter immediately shook his head and said with a serious expression, “You really don’t look like it!”
Kong Rui stood up with a smile as she placed a small cloth bag on the table. “The rest is for you.”
With that, Kong Rui turned around and walked towards the door.
The waiter picked up the cloth bag excitedly and was about to bow to Kong Rui when Kong Rui stopped again. She turned her body slightly and said to the waiter, “Remember to send it to Fragrant Garden before this evening!”
The waiter immediately agreed with a smile and watched Kong Rui leave.
The woman’s gaze followed Kong Rui until she disappeared.
Kong Rui wasn’t in a hurry to return to Fragrant Garden. Instead, she walked around the imperial capital.
She rarely had the chance to stroll around the capital, and with her current disguise, it was much more convenient for her now.
Just as she walked out of the two intersections, Kong Rui saw many people gathered in front of her.
Before she could ask what had happened, she heard someone shout not far away, “It’s the young master of the Nie family, Nie Yin! Look! It’s Nie Yin!”
After that person shouted, everyone looked at a carriage being pulled by a spirit beast.
Three dark gray wolves were tied up as they pulled a carriage that could seat more than ten people in the middle of the road.
The carriage was covered by a dark gray veil, making it difficult to see the people inside. However, as the carriage moved forward, the veil fluttered, and the figure inside became faintly discernible.
It was precisely because of this that someone could see who was inside.
Kong Rui looked into the carriage to see if the person inside was Nie Yin.
At Tianxiang Restaurant, she didn’t see Nie Yin and didn’t know what was going on with him. However, according to Chao Bai’s previous deduction, there was no way Nie Yin could escape from Spirit Mountain without external help!
Did Nie Lin find him?
Kong Rui’s mind was filled with doubts. In the next moment, she suddenly met Nie Yin’s gaze.
Kong Rui was stunned for a moment. Before she could retract her gaze, her view was quickly obstructed by the thin veil.
Kong Rui heaved a sigh of relief and subconsciously lowered her eyes.
For some reason, at that moment, she felt as if she had been seen through by Nie Yin.
That feeling was simply… unnerving!
“Stop the carriage!” Nie Yin’s voice sounded from the carriage.
The guard in charge of clearing the way immediately stopped the three gray wolves.
A tall and strong guard walked to the carriage and asked, “Young Master, what’s the matter?”
After Nie Yin whispered a few words to the tall and strong guard, the guard’s gaze swept sharply in the direction where Kong Rui had just stood.
Then, he turned to Nie Yin and said, “Young Master, that person has probably left!”
“Find her even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!” As Nie Yin spoke, he suddenly coughed violently.
The tall and strong guard immediately said, “Yes! I’ll do it immediately!”
The tall and strong guard jumped down from the steps of the carriage, pushed through the crowd, and chased after Kong Rui.
“Let’s go!” Nie Yin, who was in the carriage, recovered slightly and instructed the team in front to continue forward.
The carriage slowly moved forward again. The surrounding crowd was surprised to see Nie Yin again.
After all, ever since the princess was injured, Nie Yin had never appeared in public again.
Nie Yin placed one hand on his chest and traced a bronze plate in the shape of a Vermillion Bird with the other. “Could it be you?”
