Her Majesty the Queen

Chapter 40 Closing the Deal
Feng Lin raised her brows high, and her smile was filled with incomparable confidence.She didn't answer Qu Wanli's words, but just waited for him to make his own choice.

The silver mask buried Qu Wanli's stunning face, Feng Lin couldn't see his expression clearly.I just felt the murderous aura on his body gradually dissipate, and the whole person became softer.

The air gradually froze.Neither of them spoke, and the attic was extremely silent.

Qu Wanli did not immediately agree to Feng Lin's proposal.He really wanted to win or lose with her.But it doesn't mean that he will believe everything Feng Lin said just now.

This woman is not simple at all.Otherwise, how could she have achieved what she is today?He was afraid that this was just Feng Lin's plan to delay the attack.

Qu Wanli hasn't made a decision yet.But at this moment, a sad and high-pitched shout came from under the attic again.

Feng Lin and Qu Wanli looked at each other, knowing that the person making noise in the attic is probably Bai Xin's mother, Bai Qing, one of the three elders of Dark Ye Pavilion.

Bai Qingyuan was a servant in the old man's family. Because of his good martial arts, he was promoted to the post of Dharma protector by the old man.Later, the old man Bai left the Dark Night Pavilion, and she handled most of the affairs in the pavilion.After Qu Wanli became the pavilion master, he promoted her to be the elder of the pavilion.

It's past midnight now, Bai Qing must come here at this time to seek an explanation for her dead daughter.

"You don't need to dodge the king?" How could the guards under the attic stop Bai Qing.Hearing the approaching footsteps in his ears, and seeing Feng Lin standing there with a meaningless expression on his face, Qu Wanli couldn't help asking.

Feng Lin still didn't move, her eyes vaguely glanced down the stairs, and finally fell on Qu Wanli's face wearing a silver mask, she smiled indifferently, and asked: "Bai Xin is not the king. Killed, why should this king avoid it?"

Hearing the threatening meaning in Feng Lin's words, Qu Wanli's eyes turned cold, but the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he walked gracefully to Feng Lin. Every detail can be seen clearly.

Qu Wanli is a little taller than Feng Lin, and the closer it is, the more obvious it is.Qu Wanli lowered his head slightly, and moved his lips close to Feng Lin's ear.His voice was deep and seductive. "Is the prince really confident? Aren't you afraid that I will take your beautiful wife first?"

Feng Lin raised her jaw, and met Shang Qu Wanli's gaze ambiguously, the corners of her mouth were curved, and her eyes were provocative and teasing.She opened her lips, and whispered in Qu Wanli's ear: "If I want to be convinced, I think it will be faster for Pavilion Master Qu to use beauty tricks."

The voice on the stairs was getting closer, and it was accompanied by overwhelming anger.

Qu Wanli's scheme is not bad, but if he fails to catch Feng Lin, it is just empty talk.His eyes were bright, as if he was judging whether he had the ability to subdue Feng Lin before Bai Qing went to the attic.

But in an instant, he came to a conclusion.That's what he can't do.

Judging from the sound of footsteps, Bai Qing had already reached the stairs.As long as you cross the screen, you can see the two of them.

Qu Wanli suddenly hooked his lips into a faint smile, bright as smoke.

There was still half of the silver mask covering his face, but Qu Wanli's smile still surprised Feng Lin.At this time, the mask on his face was no longer in the way, but added a bit of vague mystery to make it look more attractive.

"Is King Lin satisfied with the beauty trick of this pavilion master?" Qu Wanli lowered his voice, and the slightly warm breath sprayed on Feng Lin's neck.He held the soft sword tightly in his hand, if Feng Lin lost his mind because of this, then his sword might be mercilessly sent to her chest.

However, Qu Wanli was disappointed.Because Feng Lin was not fooled by his smile.Her whole body was in a state of vigilance, without showing any flaws.

Qu Wanli's sudden murderous intent did not escape Feng Lin's eyes. Sure enough, the more beautiful a person is, the more dangerous he is?If there were no lessons learned from Bai Xin, would she have also fallen into his ways?
This man is very dangerous.This is Feng Lin's evaluation of Qu Wanli.

Feng Lin moved her gaze down to Qu Wanli's chest, she stretched out her right hand, and pressed her fingertips against Qu Wanli's half-clothed chest.The temperature under the fingertips is very low and the touch is excellent.Feng Lin sighed: "Compared with Pavilion Master Qu's face wearing a mask, I like to see you just now when you were in the bath, it really makes me have endless aftertaste!"

Feng Lin's words froze the smile on the corner of Qu Wanli's mouth.When he just noticed Feng Lin, it was the moment he killed Bai Xin, and he felt Feng Lin's emotional fluctuations.But he never expected that Feng Lin would hide in the attic long before he took a bath.And he didn't realize it.

In this way, isn't Feng Lin's martial arts higher than when he fought before?How did she do it in just two days?Qu Yuan was shocked.

The sound of footsteps finally came beyond the screen. Unlike Bai Xin, Bai Qing still had some sense of restraint and didn't rush in directly.Her eyes were red, and her words were mixed with a combination of pain and anger. "Bai Qing asks to see the Pavilion Master."

Bai Qing's voice successfully brought back Qu Wanli's thoughts.

He and Feng Lin exchanged glances, Feng Lin comprehended and performed lightness kung fu, and jumped onto the beam at the top of the attic silently.She hid her whole body in the darkness, poked her head out and looked at the situation below.

Qu Wanli stared at Feng Lin's hiding place, and after making sure that she would not be discovered, he ignored her.He was not in a hurry to let Bai Qing in, but dressed himself very calmly.

After he put on his clothes, he raised his voice and shouted: "Come in."

Bai Qing is a middle-aged woman who is not tall.She was dressed in black, and her face was seven points similar to Bai Xin's, except for a few deep or shallow wrinkles at the ends of her eyebrows, which widened the gap between the two.

Perhaps because of the murder of her only daughter, this woman who was always in high spirits became much older.

Seeing Qu Wanli, Bai Qing first saluted him, and then asked: "Pavilion Master, I want to know why Xin'er died suddenly?" Bai Qing's voice trembled with anger.

Before coming here, Bai Qing checked Bai Xin's body.The cause of her death was the slender wound on her neck.The weapon that caused the wound should be an extremely thin sword, but Qu Wanli's weapon is clearly such a soft sword.So Bai Qing had to suspect that the death of her own daughter was inseparable from Qu Wan.

Facing Bai Qing's questioning tone, Qu Wanli's brows hidden under the mask frowned. He looked coldly at Bai Qing who was standing ten steps away from him, and said word by word: "Elder Bai Are you questioning the Pavilion Master?"

Qu Wanli's tone all showed his displeasure at the moment.Although Bai Qing wanted to seek justice for her beloved daughter quickly, she didn't dare to tear herself apart with Qu Wanli without evidence.She lowered her head and said, "This subordinate dare not."
