When Pei Er woke up, the sky was already dark. She turned around and saw Leng Shuiyun sitting at the table reading a book.”
Leng Shuiyun didn't answer directly. Instead, she asked," You're awake?”
Seeing Pei 'er get up, she called Qiu' er to serve her. The boy had never been served by a maid before, so his entire body was stiff and uncomfortable. Qiu 'er also found it funny.
"This girl will serve you in the future.”After Leng Shuiyun finished speaking, two voices rang out.”
A voice came from Pei 'er, full of surprise. A call from Qiu 'er. Did Miss give her away?
"Pei 'er, come and sit. I have something to tell you.”Seeing that Qiu 'er had dressed him, he called him over to sit down.
He sat down obediently and drank the tea his sister handed him, waiting for her to continue. However, the words his sister said made him feel cold.
"While you were sleeping, I discussed with my parents and they agreed to let you stay. If you want to study and practice martial arts, I will ask someone to invite a master to come to the residence to teach you.”Leng Shuiyun filled her cup with tea.
Pei 'er was stunned by her words. In a moment, she understood and asked in shock. Her voice was trembling," Sister Yun' er doesn't want Pei 'er anymore, right?”
Why would he ask such a question? She had already raised him at home like a young master. Why would she not want him?”
"Then why do you want Pei 'er to stay? Sister said that she would not abandon Pei 'er and would always protect Pei' er.”Was this kid made of water? He cried just like that? He pressed his fingers on his temples to relieve his headache.
"Sister must have thought that Pei 'er would give you trouble, that's why she left me behind.”
Leng Shuiyun felt powerless. She stood up and said," Pei 'er, don't be unreasonable. If I really didn't want you, I wouldn't have saved you back then, much less brought you back to my own home."”
His words were quite stern, and his tone rose at the end.
Pei 'er also stood up and started to push her away with both hands. She was still mumbling," Yes, yes. You shouldn't have saved me back then and let me die in the wilderness. I was bullied by bad people while I was alive. When I died, I was eaten by wild beasts so that I wouldn't cause you trouble."”
Peng, the door closed. Leng Shuiyun stood outside the door in shock as she watched Pei 'er close the door. She recalled what the child had said just now and really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her good intentions were treated like a donkey's liver and lungs by this kid.
"Don't make wild guesses. If you think that it's safe to be the head of the family, think about it carefully. If you can't even protect yourself, you can only be a master who is bullied by everyone. Do you want me to protect you all the time? What kind of man are you? I'll give you a chance to learn how to protect the people you want to protect.”Leng Shuiyun said to the tightly shut door. She knew that the boy inside could hear her clearly.
"Go, go. Pei 'er, don't listen.”Pei 'er covered his ears. He didn't want to listen to those great principles. He just wanted to stay by his sister's side.
Chase me away? She really didn't know whose house this was and whose bedroom he was occupying.
"I'll wait for your answer." She turned around and left.
During dinner, the family sat around the table, but Pei 'er did not appear. Madam Leng asked," Where's Pei 'er?"
"Madam, Young Master Pei said that he doesn't want to eat.”This family had already acknowledged the appearance of a young master.
Leng Shuiyun picked up her chopsticks and said," It's fine if he doesn't want to eat. Father, Mother, let's not wait for him. We won't starve to death if we miss a meal."”
"You child." After Madam Leng finished speaking, her daughter turned to the servant girl and said," Go and call him over for dinner. It's going to get cold."”
"There's no need to call him that. He really thinks of himself as a young master! To be pampered, protected, and taken care of? If he wanted to eat it, he could eat it if he didn't want to. No one cared about his life or death.”
What's wrong? Yun 'Er doesn't seem right. She's not going to argue with the little guy. She was afraid that he wouldn't be full at noon, so she coaxed and lied to him just to make him eat more. She doesn't care if he eats or not at night.
At this moment, General Leng said," Let's eat.”
The dinner ended in silence.
"Your Highness must be tired. Dinner is already prepared.”When the butler saw Lan Xuanhan return, he quickly went forward to serve him. Wangye's body was still very weak. The Emperor had just called him to participate in the work of the imperial examination inspector. It was not tiring, but he was afraid that his master's body could not take it.
"Okay, then let's eat." After more than a month of recuperation, his body had naturally recovered. However, the wound in his heart would still drip blood and ache faintly after touching it. A few days ago, he had sent secret guards to look for her whereabouts, but there was still no news of her. It was as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth. There was no news at all.
Who would have thought that Leng Shuiyun would return home and be in the same area as him?
The secret guard returned and stood outside the door, waiting for his master to summon him.
Lan Xuanhan didn't dare to ask, afraid that there was still no news of her. However, he still asked. It was very light. If one didn't listen carefully and didn't have a deep foundation, they probably wouldn't be able to hear the sound of an insect flapping its wings." Is there any news about her?"”
The answer was still disappointing and disheartened." Master, there is no news of Miss Leng's whereabouts. This subordinate will immediately go and inquire.”
Where was she? The last piece of news was that she had parted ways with Lingxi and the others in Qu Town. She had followed the Mingshan Sect to a forest and then lost track of them. He didn't know if he was dead or alive. If he was really…why couldn't he even find his bones?
Every time his heart was pulled, he would feel uneasy. This king definitely did not believe that anything would happen to him.
After the exam is over and Sixth Brother gets married, I will go find you personally. I don't believe I can't find you.
It was a sleepless night.
Duan Xiao sat in her own room. Opposite her was a woman dressed in an enchanting dress. She wore a purple satin chebula and a light purple long dress. Her belt was the same color as the chebula, and she wore a silk light purple long robe.
Her hair was tied up in a snake-like bun, with a golden phoenix hairpin on it. Her sleeves were rolled up to reveal her plain hands, and her white wrists were surrounded by golden rings.
His eyebrows were like a painting, and his muscles and bones were like snow. She sat on the chaise lounge lazily. She had a slim waist and slim shoulders, and her phoenix eyes sparred with her spirit. With such a soul-seducing woman sitting in front of him, how many people could be as calm as Liu Xiahui?
However, Duan Xiao focused his eyes, wearing a jade crown on his head, a jade hairpin tied horizontally, a dark green skirt, an obsidian belt, and a crane cloak of the same color. He looked at the woman again and played with a poisoned flying knife in his hand.
Seeing that Duan Xiao had no intention of paying attention to her, the woman only moved slightly, and her outer clothes fell off. Her fragrant shoulders were half-naked, revealing her ancient charm. She opened her mouth and called out sweetly," Duan Lang.”
Looking up, the woman's lips were smiling, her hair was falling, and she was a wild charm in the mountains.
Duan Xiao continued to play with the flying knife and only asked," Why is Palace Master looking for Duan Xiao?"”
"Sir Duan met Leng Shuiyun, who was like a beauty in a painting and a fairy descending to the mortal world. Did you forget about Yi 'er?”The woman did not comply. Her fair, bare feet tapped the ground, and she took a slight step forward. She turned around and sat on Duan Xiao's lap. Her soft and boneless hand rested on his broad shoulder, and her head leaned over.
"Duan Xiao wouldn't dare. No matter how beautiful Leng Shuiyun is, she can't compare to the Palace Master.”With a beauty in his arms, only he could not be confused.
"Sir Duan has learned to be bad. How can you be so sweet?”She complained in a delicate voice, but her body leaned closer and closer.
"Yes, Duan Xiao knows her mistake." Her words were rigid and dull, neither cold nor hot, not close but more distant.
Feng Yi felt bored and stopped teasing Duan Xiao. Humph, she was taking care of Leng Shuiyun outside, but she was treating him coldly. This palace lord wants to see if you can be vicious and merciless when you are asked to kill Leng Shuiyun.
With a flick of her sleeve, the golden rings collided and a crisp sound rang out. She returned to the chaise lounge and sat down. Her lotus arms supported her body as she leaned back. Her feet were also placed on the small couch. She asked lightly as if it had nothing to do with her," San Sha is dead?"”
Duan Xiao placed the flying knife on the table and slowly knelt down. She tapped the ground with one knee without any emotion. Even if it was a kitten or puppy that died, the owner would still have feelings, let alone his own subordinate. However, his voice was cold as he said," This subordinate did not do his job properly. Please punish me, Palace Master."”
He didn't find an excuse for himself. He didn't say that San Sha was reckless or arrogant. He just silently took responsibility for his subordinate's fault and said that his subordinate didn't do a good job.
She raised her slender hand." How could I blame you, Sir Duan? You've been racking your brains for the sake of the Phoenix Palace. You didn't care about your own safety and sneaked into Leng Shuiyun's side to assassinate her. Even if she had any suspicions, I'm afraid you would be crushed into pieces. The funny thing was, Leng Shuiyun actually trusted Duan Lang completely.”
She played with her silk handkerchief with both hands and lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression. Was she really praising Duan Xiao? She didn't comment.
The Phoenix Palace was divided into two factions. Outsiders had always thought that the Phoenix Palace was made up entirely of women and that Feng Yi was the leader. In fact, it was not the case. There was another power in Duan Xiao's hands. She was in charge of an assassin organization like the Seven Seals, and she was not a secret person.
"Palace Master, you flatter me." He was still kneeling on the cold ground.
"Haha, why isn't Sir Duan getting up? Don't tell me you need this Palace Master to personally support you?”Feng Yi pretended to go forward and help him up.
"I don't dare to trouble Palace Lord." Duan Xiao stood up and stood straight, not taking a seat." There's something I don't dare to say.”
"What's the matter?”Duan Xiao also said with suspicion," It's not that Leng Shuiyun doesn't have doubts, but she would rather believe it.”
"Choose to believe? It seems that I really can't underestimate her. Back at the Martial Arts Circle of Heroes, I only fought to a draw with her. If I really wanted to determine who was stronger, I'm afraid I would have won by a narrow margin.”Feng Yi thought back to that day. She had gone with the hope of winning, but she had unexpectedly met that woman in white and had her meridians injured for the first time.
"Leng Shuiyun's martial arts isn't weak, she could even be considered one of the top experts. San Sha led his own top assassins, even if they couldn't kill her, they should be able to defeat her. However, when this subordinate brought people to clean up the scene, it was so miserable that it was disgusting. San Sha's throat had been cut, and he didn't even show any signs of struggling. She even suspected that someone was secretly helping her. The most unbelievable thing was that when she received news of her the next day, she was unharmed.”At this moment, Duan Xiao's words carried some emotion, and she was incredibly excited.
"I have to kill her." Suddenly, he paused and changed the topic. He said to the man who was standing," Duan Xiao, I order you to lead the remaining six Sha and 50 palace experts to eliminate Leng Shuiyun. There must be no mistakes."”
Duan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then she accepted the order." Yes, this subordinate will do as you say."”
