Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf

After thanking the two of them, Yan Xin asked for directions to the office. After explaining the purpose of her visit, she went through layers of review, and it was already dark by the time she finished the entire process.

Yan Xin thought that since it would take three days to receive the invitation to see Lin Ting, she should first find an inn to stay in. She led her horse all the way down the long street, but noticed that the capital was particularly lively after night fell. She watched the nightlife as she walked and suddenly saw a vendor selling cotton candy in a corner.

The cotton candy was bigger than she saw in Jinling City and looked very sweet.

Yan Xin was a little excited and planned to buy one to eat whilst returning to the inn. Just after taking a few steps forward, she saw a familiar figure pacing on the corner of the street.

It was then that Lin Ting came out of King Jing’s Residence. His schedule had been packed all day, and it was truly eventful. After drinking some wine at the banquet, he didn’t have anyone escort him home as he planned to take a walk and sober up.

People were coming and going on the long street as he looked up at will, but then, he saw a girl in red with a horse not far away.

The moonlight on a spring night was hazy, but the lanterns on the street were bright, clearly illuminating even the wooden hairpin on her head. Lin Ting stayed where he was and watched for a brief moment before finally smiling.

He walked towards her, and only when he was in front of her did he confirm that this was not a dream nor an illusion.

“Lady Yan Xin, why are you here?”

Yan Xin saw him, and the smile in her eyes became obvious, “I came to pick you up.”

The horse beside her lowered its head and rubbed against Lin Ting’s arm. He raised his hand and touched the horse’s head, speaking softly, “Didn’t I send a letter over already? I can’t possibly break my word.”

Yan Xin’s ears were a little red, but her tone was still serious, “I miss Little Lu too, so I wanted to come and see her.”

Lin Ting took the reins in her hand, “She would be very happy to know that you are here. But first, let’s return to the house first.”

Yan Xin said, “But I haven’t gotten the slip.”

Lin Ting was stunned for a moment, “What sort of slip?”

Yan Xin repeated what the guards at the gate of the residence said to her today.

After hearing this, Lin Ting couldn’t help laughing, “So you went to Jing Zhaoyin?”

Yan Xin nodded.

He looked at the girl in front of him and shook his head with a smile. Raising his hand, he touched the ends of her hair that had been ruffled by the night wind, “Silly girl, those are the rules for outsiders; you, however, don’t have to go through all that.”

The guards at the gate of King Qi’s Residence still remembered Yan Xin. At this moment, seeing her walking back with her Eldest Prince and behaving seemingly close with him made the two guards rather nervous.

However, their attitude in the afternoon wasn’t bad towards her as they were merely following protocol, so Lin Ting naturally didn’t blame them for anything. After handing over the dark horse to them, he brought Yan Xin into the house.

Besides a few Princesses from the palace, no other female had ever come to King Qi’s Residence. The steward and servants in the residence were surprised when they saw a young girl being brought in by the Imperial Prince. Lin Ting instructed the steward to arrange a room for her and had the chef start making some dishes.

Although the Thousand Blades Sect was large, the environment and architecture of the sect was full of natural wildness, which was completely different from the luxurious and exquisite mansion of the capital.

So this is his home?
