Chapter 222 - 222 Nie Yin Is Back?
222 Nie Yin Is Back?
The orange-robed woman came to the door of the private room and was about to look in when a tall figure suddenly walked out and blocked the woman from entering.
The man looked down at the woman who was a head shorter than him as he asked in a rough voice, “Miss, what’s the matter?”
The woman in orange was clearly startled. Fortunately, she restrained her scream and her eyes darted around before she said, “I need to find the bathroom.”
Kong Rui couldn’t help but laugh at such an absurd excuse.
However, the man didn’t expose her. Instead, he pointed to the other side of the corridor and said, “Over there.”
The orange-robed woman thanked him and hurriedly turned in the direction of the bathroom.
After Kong Rui retracted her gaze, she picked up a small snack and stuffed it into her mouth.
Although she didn’t enter the room, she could roughly guess who was inside.
Kong Rui stood up and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Ling Nuo, who was standing by the counter, immediately followed Kong Rui.
As he chased after Kong Rui, he said relentlessly, “I still have something on today, so I’ll settle the score with you another day!”
Even after the troublemaker Ling Nuo left, the customers who stayed behind had no intention of letting the waiter off.
The aggrieved waiter wanted to call the boss back.
Kong Rui quickly walked out, but stopped when she was two alleys away from Tianxiang Restaurant.
Ling Nuo could tell that Kong Rui seemed a little nervous, so he asked, “Miss, did something happen?”
Not planning to tell Ling Nuo too much, Kong Rui shook her head.
“Let’s go back first!” Kong Rui said as she hurriedly walked in the direction of Fragrant Garden.
Kong Rui had seen the tall and strong man beside Nie Lin before, but it was impossible for Li Han to have any dealings with Nie Lin, so the person in the private room was probably Nie Yin!
Although Kong Rui was unafraid of Nie Yin, she still felt a little baffled when she thought of Nie Yin’s sudden appearance in Tianxiang Restaurant.
She wanted to go back and tell Chao Bai about this.
How did Nie Yin come back from Spirit Mountain?
When Kong Rui returned to Fragrant Garden she realized that Chao Bai wasn’t around. There was only a small storage ring on the table.
Kong Rui picked up the storage ring and tried to activate the storage space. Only then did she realize that there was actually a space of about two small houses inside. There were a few wooden shelves in the space, and there were dozens of medicine bottles of various sizes on them. Each medicine bottle was labeled.
Beside the shelf where the medicine bottles were placed, there were a few large boxes.
Kong Rui recognized those boxes. They were the boxes Nie Lin had given them spiritual herbs and spirit stones with earlier.
Back then, in order to leave as soon as possible, the two of them packed some spirit stones and spirit herbs.
Kong Rui’s own spirit stones and spirit herbs were still in her original storage space, so these should be the ones that Chao Bai had packed away.
“He left these things to me? What does he mean by this?” Not understanding what Chao Bai’s actions meant, Kong Rui frowned in confusion.
Kong Rui walked around the storage space before finding a letter at one end of the shelf.
After Kong Rui unfolded the letter, the information left behind by Chao Bai immediately entered her sea of consciousness.
“I have something important to do and need to leave. Ling Nuo will stay and help you.”
These few short words and calm tone made Kong Rui feel as if she had been abandoned.
Kong Rui threw the letter on the ground and left the storage space.
She sat on the chair as she looked at the storage ring angrily.
Ling Nuo knocked on the door. “Miss, I’ll be right outside. Just instruct me if you need anything.”
As Kong Rui nodded, she immediately felt a little dejected.
She had probably been with Chao Bai for too long these days, so she wasn’t used to the feeling of him not being by her side. This situation wasn’t good!
Kong Rui gritted her teeth as she thought to herself, “What a terrifying habit! I can’t continue like this! I still have many serious things to do. I have to pull myself together!”
Kong Rui tried her best to cheer herself up, but for some reason, she heard the little lion and the little phoenix arguing in the storage space.
After Kong Rui let them out, she saw the little phoenix with its hands on its hips while the little lion raised its head. The two of them looked like they were ignoring each other.
