Translator: Iris8197 Editor: Rock
Xiao Jing was no better. His handsome face was swollen like a pig’s head and he was ragged, with wounds and bruises all over his body. But his eyes were so unfathomably deep that Ling Yao felt her heart miss a beat when looking into his eyes…
“Xiao Jing… ” Ling Yao swallowed and tried to say something, but was interrupted by the man’s cold eyes.
“What do you want, if you don’t let it go? Don’t forget the pill we just swallowed. If you don’t force yourself to forget it, who knows what will happen to us again?”
Xiao Jing was a little annoyed. Even now, he still had no clue how he had offended that crazy woman and therefore suffered such a mad retaliation from her. After saying this, he was silent again. After a while, his brows tightly knitted, he said, “Now let’s go back to the Xiao Family first.”
Ling Yao was still reluctant, her eyes burning with rage, “We’re here to find that trash! What about the trash if we go back now?”
“Your grandfather told you to listen to me when he agreed to allow you to come with me. If you don’t want to go back, that’s fine. I’ll leave, and you can stay here alone! Don’t forget what that crazy woman just said. She said we should stay here a few days longer, so she could beat us a for a few more days.”
Xiao Jing gnashed his teeth, but couldn’t do anything, because he was simply no match for that woman! The top priority now was to return to the Xiao Family, in case that crazy woman came after them again. Ling Yao stomped her foot. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to quickly leave the courtyard behind Xiao Jing.
…
In the General’s Estate, after hearing that Ling Yao and Xiao Jing had left overnight, Yun Luofeng’s face lit up with a wicked smile, a scheming light flickering across her dark eyes. “You think you can just get away with it after hurting Yun Xiao? If I don’t make some trouble for you, I’m afraid you’ll still be nagging Yun Xiao.”
“What do you have planned, Miss?” Qingyan blinked and asked her curiously.
Not answering her question, Yun Luofeng just smiled and said, “Qingyan, I’m going to go out. Prepare me a change of clothes and a bamboo hat.”
Though Qingyan was very curious, she didn’t ask much. She knew her miss would always be right no matter what she was going to do.
…
As gentle as water, the night was quiet and beautiful. Leading their subordinates, Xiao Jing and Ling Yao were walking quickly in the darkness, as if it was a place of savages and they couldn’t wait to leave here. Unfortunately, because all of them were badly injured, they had to stop and go, advancing very slowly. Therefore, they were still walking in the ancient trees outside the Imperial City after several hours.
“Ling Yao, hang on, when we leave this place, we can find a clinic to heal our wounds,” said Xiao Jing, frowning at Ling Yao who was panting beside him.
If it hadn’t been for the Ling Family’s old man who had asked him to take care of Ling Yao, he might have left her alone.
“But I can’t walk anymore.”
Ling Yao lay down against a tree, her face ghastly pale. The bruises on her body had not yet faded, so her skin was still all black and blue. The bloodstains on her clothes had dried and turned brown.
“Ling Yao!” Xiao Jing’s brows were knitted more tightly, “If you don’t want to meet that crazy woman again, get up now. Who knows when that maniac could jump out of nowhere!”
Apparently, Xiao Jing was really afraid of Yun Luofeng…
