Domineering Prince x Little Guard 16

of snow fireflies again."The other party said faintly, "You should focus your mind on cultivation." He paused for a moment, then slowly continued, "Didn't you always want to be recognized by your mas...Ning Shu didn't know how to answer this question. He was already dead in his original world, and only with the help of Lingling could he have a chance to come back to life.

But judging by Liu Yingying's appearance, she seemed to have only crossed over by accident.

Lingling: "Host, actually, Liu Yingying might not be from your world."

The young boy was taken aback and couldn't help but ask Lingling what she meant.

Lingling chirped excitedly: "Because there are many parallel worlds, even in the 21st century, there are many different spaces. That's why Lingling said that Liu Yingying might not be staying in her host's world."

Ning Shu fell silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Do you know Shi" It was the place where he had lived before.

However, the young girl looked utterly confused: "Where is City Did you grow up abroad"

Ning Shu sighed, as expected, just like what Ling Ling said, Liu Yingying lived in a world that was different from his.

Liuyuying became somewhat uneasy. She didn't know that Ningshu came from a different world than her. Like seeing a life preserver, she tightly grasped this lifeline that had surfaced: "Is there a problem"

Ning Shu saw the girl's fearful and uneasy appearance, shook her head, and didn't say anything about the truth. Afraid that the other party would become even more broken down, she softly asked, "Do you have a way to go back"

Lily shook her head.

Ning Shudao: "Since there's no way to go back, staying in this world is also a way, it's better than dying." He knew this might sound cruel, but sometimes life is like that, God can be a prankster.

Liu Yingying obviously couldn't accept it. She widened her eyes and shook her head desperately: "No, I don't want to be here. I have my own home, and my parents must be waiting for me to go back."

She cried and said, "My parents must be so worried. Usually when I come home late, they worry and call all my friends. I have no attachment to this world; I'm afraid of it, and I feel like an outsider. Their ideas are completely different from mine."

"...and I don't know when, they'll find out that she's not their biological daughter..."

"Liu Yingying couldn't help but grab the young man's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "You must also really want to go home, right Your parents must be waiting for you at home. Let's figure out a way together to leave here."

Ning Shu's heart ached slightly.

His parents, upon learning that their younger son had killed him, immediately set out to cover up the truth. They feared Ning Xi would end up in police custody, ruining his life forever. To the outside world, they claimed he had gone abroad, not shedding a single tear and continuing to shower Ning Xi with love as always.

Sometimes, Ning Shu also felt like he was superfluous, that he shouldn't have been born into this world. He had always played the role of the older brother, believing what his parents said, that Ning Xi wasn't well and needed more understanding and care.

The whole family loves Ningxi, including himself.

Until every time Ning Xi did something wrong and pushed the blame onto him, Ning Shu began to feel that this was not right. But his parents didn't believe him, they would only think that he was jealous of Ning Xi, and would slander his own younger brother.

I can't believe how bad he is.

Ning Shu would never forget, Ning Xi hiding behind her parents, giving her a guileless smile.

He naively thought that all families with siblings were like this.

Later on, when he grew up, he realized that not all families in the world were like his.

Ning Shu came back to her senses, pulling herself from the memory. She looked at the girl before her. He thought, the other party's family must be warm and happy. Otherwise, they wouldn't raise such a pure girl.

He looked at Liu Yingying in front of him and nodded. "I can help you."

After a brief pause, Ning Shu said: “But don’t have too many expectations. I haven’t been here much longer than you. And Bai Li Mo is a very shrewd and cunning person. I can only do my best.”

.........

After bidding farewell to Liu Yingying, Ning Shu returned to the outside of Qianyining Palace at the fastest speed.

He didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, Bai Li Mo would come out. When he saw him, his narrow eyes swept over and said, "Ying Qi, where did you just go"

The young man's heart tightened slightly.

But he understood that the more flustered he appeared at this moment, the more guilty he would seem. So Ning Shu did not avoid those deep eyes and met Bai Li Mo's gaze, saying: "Your Highness, I just went to pay my respects."

Mo Bai Li remained silent.

Not until Ning Shu had been stared at until her scalp felt numb did he turn his gaze away, and descend the stairs: "Return to the Prince's Mansion."

Ning Shu let out a breath of relief in her heart, somewhat astonished by the man's sharp observational skills.

He had clearly returned before the other party, and Bai Li Mo was still inside, yet he could immediately see the evidence that he hadn't been there.

Until she returned to the palace, Ning Shu's heart was still a little uneasy. She was afraid that Bai Li Mo had planted seeds of suspicion in his heart and would question her again. But luckily, after the other party came back, he seemed to have forgotten about it completely, never mentioning it again.

Ning Shu knew that if she went out of the house to see Liu Yingying on her own, Bai Li Mo would receive news immediately if there was even a slight disturbance.

Fortunately, he had spent quite some time in this mansion and had gotten a good understanding of its inner workings.

Although he had ordinary relationships with all the other guardians, Shadow Two and Shadow Six occasionally exchanged a few words. Only with Shadow Four did he have a closer bond. However, he had already figured out the habits and martial arts paths of these people.

So, releasing a pigeon, as long as you're careful enough, isn't impossible.

Ning Shu and Liu Yingying kept their correspondence infrequent to avoid suspicion. They only informed each other of crucial information.

Ning Shu secretly entered Bai Li Mo's study. He frowned and consulted some materials. After reading, he still had no important clues.

Liu Yingying said she had tried all the methods she could think of. When she first arrived, she even thought about going to find death once to see if she would be transported back in time. But she ultimately didn't dare because if she died, she would really be dead.

Ning Shu comforted her and said, "Maybe we'll find a way back soon."

But for the next period of time, Liu Yingying never sent any new messages again.

I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

And during this period, Bai Li Mo also frequently went in and out of the palace, as if discussing something important. Ning Shu had been extremely cautious since being suspected last time.

But Liu Yingying hasn't sent any messages in a long time.

He was a little worried and entrusted a palace servant to investigate the matter.

The servant, having received the money, naturally would do a good job. He immediately brought back a satisfactory reply: "Miss Liu is unharmed and enjoying herself well at home."

Ning Shu's heart had finally found peace.

That night, Bai Li Mo didn't know why he went berserk, pinning him down. His skin was rubbed raw, the man's rough breath washed over him, his eyes were dark as he looked over, and in a low voice, he said, "Ying Qi, do you have something you're hiding from this king"

"Your Majesty now offers you a chance."

Ning Shu's heart skipped a beat, but she still shook her head calmly and said, "My subordinate is loyal to the prince."

Bai Li Mo pinched his chin: "Am I being too suspicious With your guts, you couldn't possibly pull off anything major."

Three days passed.

Ning Shu received another letter from Liu Yingying. The letter said that she had found a way to go home and wondered if Ning Shu could spare some time to meet up.

He was taken aback, holding the letter in his hand.

After much thought.

Finally, Ning Shu still decided to go and see Liu Yingying. He even used Shadow Four to get a way out of the palace.

The young boy felt a pang of guilt in his heart. He believed he owed Shadow Four, and hoped that one day, he would be able to repay this friendship.

Liu Yingying got off the carriage. She came out alone.

Ning Shu asked her, "Have you found a way back home"

The girl nodded, the ecstasy and joy in her eyes were genuine. She recounted everything that had happened to her over this period.

When Liu Yingying saw that Ning Shu had no solution, she felt disheartened. Around that time, the old lady fell ill, and the family decided to go to the temple to pray for her recovery. As they were about to leave, a master called her back.

He only said one sentence: "If you are too eager to succeed, you will only achieve the opposite."

Back then, Liu Yingying was completely baffled, not understanding a word the master was saying. Only after returning home and pondering it for a long time did she break out in a cold sweat.

After that, Liu Yingying tried every means to go back to the temple, but the master wouldn't see her. He only said that heaven's secrets couldn't be revealed. After she repeatedly knelt and begged, the master finally agreed to see her again.

But seeing the young man's clueless look, I was a little puzzled.

Liu Yingying remembered, she had clearly delivered several letters to the other party.

But this delightful surprise eased the deep worry in her heart: “He told me that I am an outsider, and shouldn't be here. If I want to go back, I have to wait for the right time, place, and people.”

Liu Yingying grabbed Ning Shu's clothes and said, "Heaven, earth, time, and people are all in place, missing only one thing. Only you can help me."

Ning Shu was a little puzzled: "Only I can help you"

Liu Yinger nodded. "Do you know that Bai Li Mo has a token The material used for that token was a piece of Xuan Iron that fell from the sky hundreds of years ago. The emperor thought it was a gift from heaven, so he had two things made from it. One was a bronze artifact. It was buried with the former Empress Dowager. The other is the token Bai Li Mo wears."

She took a deep breath, her eyes red-rimmed, and said: “Going into the imperial tomb to steal bronze artifacts is probably even harder than going to heaven. What’s more, I only have two days…”

"Could you help me steal that token"our mouth still hurt, Ning Ge" 。"Ning Shu's eyelashes trembled, listening to the young junior's voice, she replied: "...it doesn't hurt" 。。Ning Shu was slightly taken aback and looked over. 。He lower...
