His fingers moved, and he bent his arm to embrace me. I was startled and about to escape when I heard his intense yet constrained heartbeat, and suddenly calmed down. He said, “With me here, no one will harm you in the slightest.”
Hearing these words, my heart suddenly went cold. Just moments ago, I had almost forgotten everything, forgotten Lang Yue’s sorrow, with only his smile in my eyes. Now, thinking back, my heart ached even more.
“What about Lang Yue?” I gently broke free from his embrace and stood up.
“If those two little attendants hadn’t been afraid to come find me…” His voice trembled, then smoothed out. “How to deal with Lang Yue, I’ll listen to you.”
“Doesn’t she still have some use value? Listen to my disposal? These words sound nice, but how absurd,” I said coldly, trying to make myself cold, forcing myself to draw a clear line between us…
“Long’er…” he was about to speak but was interrupted by the Hongyi death warriors rushing in.
Vice King (7)
Chi Yi Shu ignored our complex expressions and said, “Xiao Cheng is leading 30,000 troops outside Night Mountain. I’ve had Zi Yi and Lü Yi bring some people to guard outside Night Mountain, send Lang Yue to entertain Xiao Cheng, and dispatch someone to bring Water Ruo Han here.”
“Hmm,” Night Suo, who was just immersed in emotional turmoil with me.
, now stood up with a calm face. “We’re not familiar with Water Ruo Han. If he can be useful to us, that’s best. If not, he cannot stay.”
“And Xiao Cheng?”
“That person naturally cannot stay, but now is not the time. Let’s solve the matter of Water Ruo Han first. If Xiao Cheng is unwilling to enter Night Mountain alone, we’ll give him a court that disdains Night Mountain’s name. How’s that?”
“The King’s strategy is far-reaching. Chi Yi will naturally follow. But who will meet Water Ruo Han?”
“Chi Yi needs to watch Xiao Cheng, so let Orange Yi go,” Night Suo said after a moment of thought. I looked around the room, then raised my hand, “I’ll go! Isn’t it just about persuading Water Ruo Han to join Night Mountain? I have so many methods that even my seven fathers would be impressed!”
