Chapter 743: You look beautiful today

Huo Jin gazed at him and then at his arm.

"It is to support you. What if you fall or get dizzy?" Yin Na said with her innocent eyes.

"I won't fall," Huo Jin said and pulled away from her grip, before walking ahead. Yin Na pouted her lips and ran behind him.

'He is so adamant about not letting me get close to him. I dressed in my best attire. Everyone praised me except Huo Jin. I even used perfume and lip color. Why did he not get excited to see me?' Yin Na stomped her foot on the ground while walking behind Huo Jin, who halted and turned to look at her.

He noticed that the expressions on her face were not pleasant.

"Are you tired? We did not even walk a hundred meters," Huo Jin said.

"A hundred meters?" She chuckled and scrunched her nose. 'Why is he calculating the distance while walking?' she frowned and looked at her dress once again.

"You can go back if you are tired," she heard him say.

"No, I am coming. Don't a.s.sume things on your own," Yin Na said and reached near him. The two resumed the walk.

Huo Jin's gaze was straight, on the road while Yin Na was stealing glances at him. 'Such a boring walk!' she thought in her mind.

All of a sudden, Huo Jin said, "It has become one of my favorite places in Luoyang." Yin Na looked around and found that most trees had surrounded them.

"I mean the place where we will soon reach," Huo Jin clarified to her.

"When I was spying for my previous master, it used to be my hideout because it was easy to hide in a place where n.o.bles would never think that a spy could hide."

It confused Yin Na. "Wasn't that too risky for you?" She asked while knitting her brows. Huo Jin ended up smiling.

"Yin Na, it is said that you should stay close to your enemies. That's the best way to hide because they will never be suspicious of you and you'll be safe," Huo Jin affirmed.

His words appeared strange to Yin Na. How could it be safe?

"I worked for my previous master for Xinyue. Her safety was important to me," Huo Jin stated. Yin Na was happy because Huo Jin was sharing some of the deep secrets of his life.

However, she did not like it whenever he took Xinyue's name. She knew she was his first love, but as time pa.s.sed, it started to bother her. Xinyue did not do anything good in her eyes. Huo Jin selflessly served her, yet she also called him a 'slave', a 'servant'.

When her brother, w.a.n.g Hao told him how Xinyue demeaned him, it boiled her blood. Had Huo Jin not respected her, she woul

d have cursed her badly, in front of him.

"I even spied on General w.a.n.g and found out the hidden routes of the Palace."

Yin Na's eyes widened in shock. Why did he even spy on her brother? He did not have to do that. Yin Na, for a second, indeed felt bad. But she also was well aware of the fact that it was the way Huo Jin kept himself alive.

"Why did you do that?" Yin Na asked him. She was curious to know the reason behind it.

"Because that was my profession. Tan Gengxin had other plans. It was decided that he would enter the Palace using those routes. However, I did not tell him nor did I tell Xinyue," Huo Jin stated.

"Why?"

"Because I believed that Xinyue would not be happy if her husband was killed," Huo Jin stated.

"Do you mean Tan Gengxin would have harmed the First Prince?!" Yin Na asked while gaping at him.

"Hmm. He wanted to be the ruler. Xinyue loved the First Prince, and I lied about it to them. The situation made me look bad in my eyes, Yin Na. However, I also found many great souls," Huo Jin stated.

"Indeed," Yin Na agreed with him.

"You are one of them," Huo Jin p.r.o.nounced.

Yin Na could not believe Huo Jin, said that to her. She could not express how delighted she was. Her heart fluttered while a tint of her red appeared on her cheeks. A smile carved on her lips which turned wider.

"Come," Huo Jin suddenly grabbed her hand, and Yin Na found her heart beats suddenly increased.

"The route is narrower. The place is in the forest," stated Huo Jin, "so be careful."

Yin Na hummed and silently followed his steps. She was blushing extremely. She found her feet stopped as Huo Jin had stopped. The splashing sound of water fell in her ears, and she looked at her front.

A waterfall!

Her eyes glistened, and she let go of Huo Jin's hand. "How come I never knew about this place?" She muttered.

"That's why it's a secret hideout. People hardly come here. You saw the route was a little rough, and the n.o.ble cla.s.s people hardly walk on such a path," stated Huo Jin.

"Oh. Those people missed such a good place," Yin Na remarked and turned to look at him. She found him walking on the right, towards a giant rock near the waterfall.

Yin Na lifted her skirt and climbed the rock. Huo Jin was already seated at its edge when Yin Na also sat beside him.

She looked down and found how clear the water was!

"Isn't it calming?" He asked

and tilted his head to look at her.

"It is," she agreed with him while nodding her head.

"Why are your cheeks red?" Huo Jin asked.

Yin Na quickly put her palms on her cheeks. "I think it is because I felt hot," she reasoned.

"The weather is cold because it's wintertime," Huo Jin stated.

"But I walked so much, so it increased the blood flow, I think," Yin Na deduced. She put her hands down and pressed her lips tightly.

"You look beautiful today," Huo Jin complimented her.

Yin Na's eyes grew big and she turned her eyes to peer at him.
