“I know,” Puyang Yue said lightly.
“You know?” Junzhi was shocked. “Then why are you still doing this?”
"While it’s easy for me to find ten or even a hundred masters, finding a single loyal person is difficult.”
“Hey! Don’t you think that my sister and I will be loyal to you and Princess b.u.t.terfly?”
Puyang Yue answered with a faint smile, “My eyes do not make mistakes.”
So Junzhi laughed at him with great certainty and said, “Then I will tell you frankly that this time, you truly are wrong! Although my sister and I are authorized by our master to protect you, in our hearts, we are very reluctant. My sister is particularly interested in attractive men. If it weren’t for your handsomeness, she would’ve wanted to leave early, just like me.”
Puyang Yue was not going to conveniently tell him everything now, so he could only smile wryly at him. Since he did not know about the kidnapping of Princess b.u.t.terfly, he had nothing important to ask him, except about Bai Languo. “Did your sister have any issues over the past two years?”
Junzhi frowned. “Why are you asking that?”
“She . . . ” Puyang Yue stopped himself short, but ultimately decided to continue, asking, “Has her personality always been like this?”
Junzhi’s lips curled with puzzlement. “Two years ago, she suffered from a serious illness and almost died. Then she suddenly recovered one day. When she woke up, she always said things we couldn’t understand. We thought it was a consequence of her illness. At the beginning, she behaved indescribably and studied weird things from time to time. Even now, although she is much better, I still feel that she has trouble with her thinking. She doesn’t seem to be in the same world as us. What’s more, she lost all her skills after the serious illness. Fortunately, after two years of hard training, her martial arts have recovered a little.”
“Oh?” While Puyang Yue listened to this, many little wrinkles gathered between his eyes.
Junzhi quickly felt relieved, and then said with smile, “But compared with the former weak sister, I like her personality now. Her liveliness makes her more likable! The only thing that’s not good is that she’s not reserved enough. Especially, she likes to peek at me taking a bath.” Speaking of this, Junzhi was reminded of how he’d endured two years of great shame and disgrace. Now, when he mentioned it, his tender face still blushed, and he fluffed his pillow with bitterness and hatred.
Puyang Yue was quite speechless when he saw that. Finally, he let Junzhi lie on the bed to deal with his emotions, then began moving his wheelchair and left with indifference. When he returned to the East Pavilion, he happened to see Bai Languo sleeping with her sword in the yard.
If a martial arts master, who came from an outstanding sect, would fall asleep while practicing her skills, what was this world coming to?
It was a pity that his legs and feet were of no use, otherwise, he would’ve been bound to be a master. Puyang Yue was helpless, and he went to take the sword from her arms. When she hummed and turned around, he asked with a dark face, “How do you sleep here? Aren’t you afraid of catching cold?”
Although the prince’s face was gloomy, his words showed that he was concerned about her. While Bai Languo was confused, she was also overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. “Ah? Oh! Well, I’ll go back to bed.”
“Get up and practice your skills.” Unexpectedly, Puyang Yue held the sword to block her way, leaving the cold words to waft over her ruthlessly.
“What?” Bai Languo stared at him, stunned. It’s very late now. Is he a nocturnal animal? Why do I have to practice so late? He might not want to sleep, but I want to, Bai Languo angrily thought to herself.
