“How is Shadow at fault for this incident?” Nangong Lie looked at Helian Wei Wei with a faint smile on his face. “It was I who brought this woman here if you want to blame someone, blame me. Tsk tsk tsk, looking identical truly has its advantage, otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought her before you. Ah Jue, how about this? Since I made this mess, I’ll settle it myself. I’ll bring her out of the palace right now. I think you and Lady Helian have a lot to talk about, so we won’t disturb you any further.”
As he was speaking, Nangong Lie began to extend his arm.
Baili Jia Jue glanced at him coldly.
That gaze, filled with warning left Nangong Lie’s hand stiffened by his side. “Ah Jue, if this won’t do, and that won’t do either, what do you want then?”
“I don’t want anything.” The young man’s voice was cold as he spoke nonchalantly. “It’s just that, no one can leave unharmed after touching me.”
Nangong Lie was startled. “Ah Jue, certainly you don’t mean it, after all, she only kissed you for an instant…”
“You may leave.” The young man’s unwavering tone interrupted Nangong Lie’s words.
Nangong Lie was dumbfounded. “Ah Jue, the reason I came to you this time is because of a formal matter, your red…”
“I don’t want to talk about formal matters today.” The young man smiled at him, but there was no warmth in his eyes. “Will you leave by yourself, or do I have to kick you out?”
Nangong Lie felt a tingle over his scalp, and he cleared his throat. “I’ll leave by myself, but under one condition.”
“Speak.” The young man frowned, with a slight hint of impatience, but because of his age, it looked very attractive on him.
“Lend me one of your death knights.” Nangong Lie smiled charmingly.
The young man did not look at him anymore. “Go and pick one yourself. It’s best for you to leave now.”
After getting what he wanted, Nangong Lie did not overstay his welcome a moment longer, throwing Helian Wei Wei a helpless look and disappearing immediately.
He had actually wanted to stay and watch the situation unfold, but there was no rush, after all, he had all the time to listen to gossip afterward…
It was as though Nangong Lie’s absence took away the only warmth left in the palace.
Fortunately, that short amount of time allowed Helian Wei Wei to catch her breath and compose her emotions.
The young girl had also noticed that something seemed off, and she reached out to tug on Baili Jia Jue’s sleeve. “Your Highness?”
Baili Jia Jue turned his head around, there was pleasantness in his tone. “Hmm?”
“Are you angry at me?” The young girl softened her voice.
The young man’s graceful side profile was full of gentleness. “Why would I be? I was just a little anxious.”
“I know, I won’t be reckless next time.” The young girl widened her eyes like she was a.s.suring him.
The young man nodded, he seemed to spoil her very much.
Watching this scene before her, Helian Wei Wei was expressionless. All she felt was cold, she was cold the whole time.
She was thinking that maybe she should leave first.
To find a corner to tend to her wound or something, and then returned to fight because it was hurting so much that she had a little trouble breathing properly.
The young girl felt uneasy, probably because there was someone else here, and she looked toward Helian Wei Wei’s direction constantly.
The young man also noticed her gaze, and he said calmly, “You should go back as well, I’ll deal with this situation.”
The young girl did not want to leave. She did not understand why, but she had felt uneasy ever since she met this woman who looked just like herself.
The difference was that this woman was more mature than herself, and… she had never seen anyone like her, who remained unfazed even when His Highness was enraged.
“Lady Wei Wei, allow me to guide you out.” Shadow naturally understood his master’s intentions, and he walked to the young girl’s side, trying to lead her.
The girl lifted her gaze, her beautiful eyes s.h.i.+ning as she looked at Baili Jia Jue. “She didn’t do it on purpose, Your Highness. Please don’t treat her too harshly.”
“Don’t worry, I know you don’t like bloodshed.” The young man seemed very caring, smiling at her. “Go along with Shadow now.”
The young girl finally nodded, yet she could not help but turn and look at Helian Wei Wei once more.
The palace door closed.
Helian Wei Wei and the young man were the only ones left in the empty room.
“You heard it too, she doesn’t like blood.” The young man walked to the wooden table, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea. “So I won’t do anything to you.”
Helian Wei Wei responded simply, feeling frustrated all of a sudden.
D*mn it!
You become so obedient when it’s another person!
Why is it that when he was with her, all he did was bully her?!
Not to mention listening to her, he was usually haughty, if not ill-tongued, when was he ever gentle to her?!
“What about you, do you have anything to say?” The young man brought the teacup to his lips, but his fingers paused, as though he suddenly remembered something. He did not drink the tea, and instead, put it back to where it was before.
Helian Wei Wei smiled and shook her head.
Initially, she did have a lot to say.
Who knew that the third fragment would be this kind of situation?
She was not made of iron after all, and the finger she was pinching started to hurt.
Helian Wei Wei suddenly lost the strength to speak…
The young man tightened his grasp on the teacup in his hands and laughed coldly. “You have nothing more to say to me?”
Her silence, her insensitivity, her indifference, all became p.r.i.c.kly thorns, stabbing him in the heart.
He felt nothing except a coldness in him.
Thud!
The young man lifted his hand, and an iron chain appeared before Helian Wei Wei’s eyes.
Helian Wei Wei was startled.
The young man stepped closer to her, his face was a piece of art from heaven, so perfect and flawless, but the words coming out from him pierced straight through her heart. “Since you don’t care about anything, then I can pack you up as a gift for someone else.”
Helian Wei Wei lifted her head, looking into those emotionless pupils. Her heart felt as though it was being strangled. “Do you hate me now?”
“You really regard yourself so highly.” The young man laughed coldly as he turned his back toward her.
Helian Wei Wei’s voice deepened. “I don’t regard myself highly, I just don’t want to see you this unhappy.”
The young man’s back stiffened instantly.
She was seducing him again.
She was really good at this.
Eight years ago, when she kissed him, he felt his whole body turning warm, and he wanted to give all the best things in the world to her.
For her, he had done too many st*pid things.
Even the cages were made of pure gold, all to make her happy.
Actually, at that moment, he had already known for a long time that he could never own her heart, but at least he could own her person.
He thought that she at least cared about him a little.
He only realized afterward that as long as he, the soul fragment, would not leave together with her, she would disappear immediately, without even a hint of hesitation, and she would not care about what would happen to him at all.
The hatred that corroded his bones filled his heart, and the young man’s pupils were once again invaded by darkness. His deep calm eyes were stunning, but because they were covered with a layer of ice, they shone so brightly that they could freeze even the depths of one’s heart.
He stared at her, revealing a stillness in his eyes…
