Chapter 148: A Timely Rescue (3)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Now she was sure that was not her illusion when she felt like she landed in someone"s chest.“Correct.” Huangfu Jue nodded, “This is the second time that I have saved you, how are you going to repay me?”
Murong Qingyan looked around as if she had not heard what Huangfu Jue said, she was weighing the situation in her heart, she did not forget the attack from the three elders.
Huangfu Jue was not upset by Murong Qingyan"s reactions, he withdrew his hand and pressed his palm on Murong Qingyan"s arm again, instilling a final flow of Dark Power into her body. With that he slowly descending on the ground and put Murong Qingyan on the ground too.
Not a single person in the hall dared to make a move on Murong Qingyan, not when the man in back was standing right next to her.
Murong Xiong was glaring at Murong Qingyan, but there was nothing he could do, he could barely stand after Huangfu Jue"s attack. The three elders were also standing on their spots, eyes gluing on Murong Qingyan.
They knew Murong Qingyan would not just let it go, she surely would fight back. They felt like this day might be their doom for there were two dangerous men were here helping her.
To everyone"s surprise, Murong Qingyan didn"t launch any attack, she looked at somewhere and smiled.
Murong Qingxue who was hiding behind the pillar was so furious that she had left a few scratches on the pillar. She turned green with envy when Murong Qingyan showed her weapons in the fight, those weapons were all treasures she could only wish for.
And then finally the three elders joined hands and launched a deadly attack.
But before she felt relieved, a man in black showed up in the crucial moment and rescued her.
To make it worse, Murong Qingxue"s heart beat so fast when she saw the man in black even though she was engaged to Nangong Ye. Her breath was taken away when she saw how gorgeous and powerful the man in black was.
She was more envious when she saw the man protecting Murong Qingyan, let alone the way the man looked at Murong Qingyan.
Why!
Why would an ugly girl like Murong Qingyan get the chance to know such a man, Murong Qingyan was disliked by Nangong Ye and she was repudiated by Nangong Family, but why would she get the opportunity to know such a powerful man!
Why!
Murong Qingyan was an abandoned person in Murong Family, why was she resting in that man"s chest and was instilled Dark Power by that man!
Why life was so unfair!
A piercing voice rang when Murong Qingxue was immersing in hatred, “Why are you hiding yourself when you are trying to enjoy the show?”
It was Murong Qingyan who was looking at the pillar where Murong Qingxue was hiding behind, “Did you at least ask me about my opinion whether I want to be your scapegoat?
A tinge of fear slithered down to Murong Qingxue"s spine, fear and panic flashed across her eyes. She knew Murong Qingyan had found her, but she wanted to try her luck and flee.
But there came Murong Qingyan"s voice when she turned around.
“Murong Qingxue, do I have to make it this clear?” Murong Qingyan took one more glimpse at the pillar and gave a cold smile, “Murong Qingxue, if you are asking me to invite you over, I will do it, but I can"t guarantee you what I will do to you after I send the invitation!”
Everyone now had sensed there was one person hiding behind the pillar and it was Murong Qingxue. Murong Qingxue"s cultivation was not that advanced, people should have been able to sense her, but they were too focused on Murong Qingyan"s fight to pay any attention to anyone else. Now that they had heard Murong Qingyan"s question, they started to sense more and they found Murong Qingxue was indeed hiding behind the pillar.
But they didn"t quite understand what Murong Qingyan meant, Murong Xiyi was the only one who knew exactly what Murong Qingyan was implying. He knew this didn"t bode well when he saw Murong Qingyan looked at the pillar.
Murong Qingxue also knew no way could she flee at the moment so she walked out.
“Xue, it is really you, what are you doing here?” asked Murong Rui, frowned. “Aren"t you supposed to be cultivating at your own house, why are you here?”
“I... I...” faltered Murong Qingxue, at a loss for words.
“I know exactly why she is here, she was enjoying the show!” Murong Qingyan said with indifference, “She wants to make sure I AM the scapegoat thus she would be well at ease.”
“What?”
