Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Not to mention that she is jealous of me?” Su Yan Mo smirked, there was a hint of maliciousness in her eyes. “Don’t worry, she is not a team player. All she knows is how to fiddle with her weapons. Those ladies in the Capital have already been sick of her, besides, she did not even show up at our wedding. It has been a long time since I told my sister that she has an odd character. She has no room for me, suspicious of others and quick to envy. Her heart is as tiny as the tip of a needle. Nothing seems weird for a woman as such to be infuriated to death by her own jealousy. Don’t you think so, Master?”
“Why didn’t I think of this?” It was a good reminder for Helian Guang Yao. He then hugged Su Yan Mo affectionately. “You really are my lucky star!”
Su Yan Mo smiled lightly.
Helian Guang Yao was still bothered by another issue. “But Helian Na Yue is gone, it means that the Military Seal is nowhere to be found as well.”
“It’s not a big deal, isn’t that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d still here,” Su Yan Mo softly comforted Helian Guang Yao, her small hand was patting his chest, perhaps her thoughtfulness was used in any possible ways. “As long as she remains here, you can continue to control the forces of Helian Family in her position. She is your daughter, thus, it is perfectly justifiable for a father to take charge of his daughter’s power.”
That’s right! That was what they were planning for!
As though Helian Wei Wei was out of her body, she looked at the pet.i.te figure who was hardly conscious due to the high fever, given her young age, she was probably afraid.
Borrowing the ears of Helian Wei Wei, she dimly heard the voice of others. That voice was quite deep, just like the hoot of an owl, extremely uncomfortable to listen to. “The blood of a Helian family member is able to nourish one’s vitality more than a medicinal elixir. Suck out all the blood from this woman and let your daughter drink it. It shall be useful for the days to come,”
“Yes,” Su Yan Mo replied pleasantly.
The arms of Helian Wei Wei went weak, she leaned and laid her body against an empty pile of books, by the time she woke up, everything was forgotten.
Children at the age of five to six would indeed shut down their true memories when they had encountered a trauma, replacing it with another vague memory.
However, Helian Wei Wei figured, if it was her, she would never forget.
She would remember it forever!
The faces of these people!
The voices of these people!
Then, blood will have blood!
Just like what the Old Master Tang had asked her in the first place about the reason for her to join the Tang Sect.
She replied, for revenge.
Old Master Tang looked at her and shook his head.
Somehow Young Master Tang let her stay.
When she could not see any light and nearly give up, he was the one who gave her the only hope.
She questioned the honorable younger master who enclosed himself in his own world, knocking the notebook with one hand and piling up toy bricks on the other, “Why did you allow me to stay? By joining the Tang Sect for revenge, I won’t be of good use in the future.”
Still obsessed with the toy bricks in his hand, he did not raise his head.
Helian Wei Wei found herself ridiculous, asking this kind of question to an autistic child who had not spoken more than a few phrases in a year.
“There must be someone whom you love dearly inside your heart, which is why you wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her.” Young Master Tang put down the toy brick, lifted his head, his eyes were expressionless, “Doing whatever it takes to protect, fits well with the Tang Sect.”
Doing whatever it takes to protect…
For a moment after Helian Wei Wei had opened her eyes, she had no clue where she was, staring blankly into the luxury ceilings, dryness in her eyes.
“What are you thinking about?” A deep voice rang beside her ears.
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes brightened as if she saw her own family, “Tang…”
Turning her head over, however, her words stuck in her throat.
The action of Baili Jia Jue wiping his hand halted as well, he smiled suddenly, the corner of his lips curved into a hue of frozen ice, “Tang? What Tang? Hmm?”
“Nothing, it’s just a friend,” Helian Wei Wei rubbed her aching head, “I thought you are him, both of you have similar voices.”
“Oh? Just a friend?” Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand and held up her chin, a chilling glow gleamed through the black jade ring on his pinky finger, “Why did I not know that you have a friend with the surname of Tang, it seems like the Princess Consort has a lot of secrets that I am not aware of.”
Helian Wei Wei’s heart sank, she was fearful if he noticed that she was a foreign soul, she smiled faintly, “A friend from childhood, of course, you did not know.”
Baili Jia Jue stopped talking, his sight fell on the face of Helian Wei Wei, his whole body was emitting this ineffable chilly aura, and his eyes were deep and quiet, as though boundless dangerous abyss was concealed by the darkness.
Helian Wei Wei did not know what he was looking at. First, she blinked, then realized that his hair was wet, she reached out to the white towel beside her and started to wipe his hair.
Baili Jia Jue’s fingers moved slightly, his sternness was weakened, but his tone remained dull, “What are you feeling guilty about?”
“What am I guilty about?” The voice of Helian Wei Wei sounded coa.r.s.e, “I am worried that you would catch a cold just like I do.”
Eunuch Sun was watching from aside, laughing while putting his hand back, his interruption was well-timed, “His Highness knew that the Princess Consort fell sick, that is why His Highness hurried here in the rain without using an umbrella. Being a lackey, I was worried that His Highness would catch a cold, but looking at how His Highness is well taken care of by Princess Consort, I am relieved.”
Baili Jia Jue glanced at him upon hearing this.
Eunuch Sun managed to keep a straight face.
The voice of Baili Jia Jue was faint, “Since when did I use an umbrella before?”
“Ahem, ahem, ahem!” Eunuch Sun became anxious, how could His Highness not get this! Only by phrasing it this way would the Princess Consort be touched by his actions! It is the unique strategy of love, does His Highness not know it?
Baili Jia Jue ignored his rapid winking, he smiled chillingly, it seemed like he was saying – do you think I need your lesson?
The scalp of Eunuch Sun was numbed by his smile, he carried the robe that His Highness had taken off, then he disappeared with a swoos.h.!.+
There was no one left, Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand and held Helian Wei Wei’s wrist.
Helian Wei Wei raised her brows.
Baili Jia Jue pursed his lips, with a half-smile, “If you are helping me to dry my hair, then do it nicely.”
Helian Wei Wei, …isn’t she drying it nicely now?
Subsequently, a moment later.
The man started to lie down on her thigh, there was a slight coldness in his smile, just that he had this exceptionally n.o.ble, leisure look on his face, “Why did you stop?”
Helian Wei Wei smiled, she felt as if she was petting a Persian cat, there would be nothing wrong as long as she caressed along the fur, needless to say, His Highness had excellent hair condition, the touch of his hair was like the touch of the finest silk, smooth and soft.
That explained why those bossy directors liked to caress the long hair of others.
Even Helian Wei Wei was experiencing that strong feeling right now, just that the aura of His Highness was too powerful. Thus, it seemed like the current image was a little out of proportion.
“Helian Wei Wei.” As Baili Jia Jue talked, his eyes were closed and his dark lashes lowered, making him look like a royalty who was sleeping deeply in the castle, with an unfriendly, slow tone, “You better not be lying to me.”
Helian Wei Wei agreed with a grunt, other than the fact that she came from the 21st century, she had never lied to him.
But, he was so smart, it was hard to know when he would have noticed…
