The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Suddenly Caught Fire

At this time, although it was late at night, the moonlight was bright and things were still visible.

Initially, Han Jing only heard a small noise, but she walked over because she saw someone wearing white clothes hiding in a tree with few leaves. Han Jing really wanted to kneel for this person’s intelligence.

It was already late autumn, and most of the leaves had fallen from the trees. What was he thinking hiding in a tree, thinking she wouldn’t notice?

Yun Feng belatedly raised his head, indeed, under the moonlight, that tree was somewhat... not so lush.

And he wore the most conspicuous attire, a white long-sleeved robe.

Yun Feng was instantly embarrassed: ”Uh, well, tonight’s moonlight is indeed pretty... I’m Yun Feng, may I ask your surname, miss?”

”Han Jing.” Han Jing originally replied politely, then saw Yun Feng looking at her with surprise, and couldn’t help but ask: ”Is there a problem?”

Yun Feng shook his head, yet stammered, ”You, you just told me your name like that?”

Only then did Han Jing remember, this was ancient times, and women didn’t easily disclose their names, especially to a stranger man. Earlier, Yun Feng only asked for her surname.

However, Han Jing didn’t mind these conventions: ”It’s just a name, is there anything that can’t be said?”

”Haha, Miss Han is really straightforward,” Yun Feng laughed.

Seeing that this person meant no harm, Han Jing quietly relaxed her guard, but at this moment, she again felt the birthmark on her left cheek burning intensely.

Just then, Yun Feng suddenly felt the surroundings became much brighter, he turned around suddenly, and saw that the tree he was hiding in earlier was on fire!

Since most of the leaves on the tree were dry, they burned with clusters of flames, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

”Heavens, am I seeing things? How could it catch fire?” Yun Feng looked as if he had seen a ghost, quickly scanning around warily but didn’t notice anything unusual, nor were there other people.

However, he was speaking to Han Jing just now, and nobody had set the fire!

Han Jing heard Yun Feng’s voice, raised her head, and was also shocked. What was happening? Why would that tree be on fire?

This place wasn’t far from Prince Ling Mansion, just near its side gate. If it caught fire, it would definitely alarm the people from Prince Ling Mansion. If Su Xingyan and Han Yan’s affairs were discovered now, her plans would be completely disrupted!

No, they couldn’t be seen!

”Over there! Over there is on fire too!” Han Jing suddenly pointed to another direction and shouted.

Yun Feng indeed shifted his focus, and Han Jing seized the chance to quickly raise her hand and use water vapor to extinguish the fire. When Yun Feng turned back without noticing anything unusual, the tree, which was ablaze earlier, now quietly stood as if nothing had happened.

Yun Feng blinked his eyes: ”How, how did it go out? Did I imagine it?”

Han Jing looked innocent as she glanced around: ”I just saw it too. Did I also imagine it?”

Yun Feng...

”It’s so late, what are you doing here, young lady?” Yun Feng felt that what happened earlier definitely wasn’t his imagination, yet he couldn’t figure out anything odd.

”I’m waiting for someone. If you have nothing else, could you leave first? If someone sees us together, it wouldn’t look good, would it?”
