Translator: Sissy That Walk
“What are you going to do next then?” Huangfu Jue ignored what Murong Qingyan said and continued his question, “Tell me where are you going next, I know no way will you go back to Murong Family.”“Finally I have renounced them!” exclaimed Murong Qingyan, like that was such a relief for her. “I"m going to Four College.”
"Sounds like a plan.” nodded Huangfu Jue, “I can join you and keep you company on the journey, now that I have nothing to do.”
Xuan Yi who was standing behind Huangfu Jue and had been motionless the whole time couldn"t help but twitch his lips.
"Now that I have nothing to do!"
"Master, aren"t you on a mission? Aren"t you looking for something?" screamed Xuan Yi in the heart, but he kept it all to himself, because he knew his master didn"t like to be told what to do.
“That"s okay,” replied Murong Qingyan, “I got this, I think I can protect myself on the journey.”
“Don"t get me wrong, I"m not going to protect you.” said Huangfu Jue, “It"s just I have nothing to do, plus I have a hunch that I will run into some fun stuff if I join you.”
Murong Qingyan was a bit speechless, "What do you mean? To run into some fun stuff? Was I almost got burned by Earth Ore fun to you? Was Murong Xiong almost killed me fun to you?"
Then she did some thinking, she didn"t see why she should insist on going by herself now that Huangfu Jue had put it that way. Well, if Huangfu Jue and Xuan Yi joined her, there was nothing she should worry about on the journey. Murong Qingyan figured she didn"t mind having two bodyguards.
Little did Murong Qingyan realize she had trusted Huangfu Jue more than necessary, she let her guard down in front of him! A man who she had met only twice!
Probably it was because Huangfu Jue had saved her life twice, she just felt secure around him even thought she knew nothing about him, his ident.i.ty, his background......
To return to Murong Family.
In Ruxue House... ...
Liu Mei turned pale when the pages carried Murong Qingxue back to the house, she staggered to Murong Qingxue to see whether she was all right, she heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed her daughter was just in shock.
Liu Mei lifted her hand and signaled the pages to withdraw.
Liu Mei had no idea what happened outside, she stayed in her room despite the noisy hurly-burly because she felt so guilty. She didn"t even send any maid to inquire what the bustle was about, so she was scared to death when she saw the pages carried Murong Qingxue back.
“Xue, talk to me, talk to me, what happened?” Liu Mei perched on the bedside and asked with concern, “Didn"t you say you want to see Murong Qingyan suffer in person? But what has happened to you?”
“Mother, she wants to kill me, she really does!” Murong Qingxue caught hold of her mother"s hand and kept repeating that, trembling with terror.
Murong Qingxue hadn"t pulled herself up until now, she would never forget how close she had been to death, she would never forget Murong Qingyan"s eyes when she strangled her, she would never forget how fast her heart was beating when Murong Qingyan walked towards her and said "Murong Qingxue, see you never."
“Xue, are you all right?” Liu Mei patted her on the back and comforted her, “Everything is okay, everything is okay now, you are back in our house now, no one will hurt you.”
Murong Qingxue"s breaths returned to normal lying on Liu Mei"s shoulder.
Liu Mei poured Murong Qingxue some tea, Murong Qingxue gulped it down within just one second.
“Xue, are you feeling better now? Tell me what happened? Who has hurt you? And what happened to Murong Qingyan?”
Murong Qingxue closed her eyes in anguish, she took a few breaths and tried to think straight, “Mother, it"s Murong Qingyan who wants to kill me, and she almost did!”
“What?” Liu Mei was startled, “Is that true?”
Murong Qingxue nodded heavily and told Liu Mei what she had seen in the hall.
“What? Murong Qingyan knows it"s us who has stolen Recovery Elixir from the Treasury?” Liu Mei"s heart was pounding and she continued, “What about the Family Master and the Elders? Do they believe Murong Qingyan?”
“I have no idea.” Murong Qingxue shook her head with some efforts, “I couldn"t tell whether they believe her.”
Murong Qingxue panicked again and she asked again, “Mother, do you think the Family Master and the Elders has believed Murong Qingyan?”
“Xue, don"t panic yet.” Liu Mei gnashed her teeth and took a few deep breaths, “Murong Qingyan doesn"t have any evidence it"s us who had stolen Recovery Elixir, plus the Family Master and the Elders don"t like her in the first place, I don"t think they would believe what she has said. The most important thing for us to do now is to not panic and give ourselves away!”
