Chapter 249 – First time feeling tenderness towards her

Faced with the little girl’s sudden resentment, Dongting Wang-Yu sighed. “This matter is between the two of them, who are father and son, what can you do about it?”

Hearing this, Chu Qing-Yan remained silent, her pair of hands held tightly onto her knees. What Dongting Wang-Yu said wasn’t wrong, this matter was between the two of them, she couldn’t intervene.

In fact a large part of the reason she was this indignant was due to self blame. She had nothing, not even a tiny bit of strength to help Big Block of Ice, what she was feeling more was probably her own grief and self blame!

The little girl suddenly became taciturn and stopped speaking, so Dongting Wang-Yu started to reflect upon whether he said something wrong. When his gaze landed on her body, he sensed a thick loneliness around her.

Dongting Wang-Yu didn’t like this kind of feeling, the little girl should be merry and sunshine like, being worried or feeling sad didn’t suit her.

Just when he was thinking of ways to talk her out of it, the branch suddenly swayed and her person was already under the tree.

“Dongting, time is really late, I need to go back.” Chu Qing-Yan raised her head to look towards him. That loneliness on her body seemed to be only his misperception.

“Tonight, why did you seek this young master? Aren’t there a lot of people by your side?”

Dongting Wang-Yu’s bright gaze looked at her, successfully making her stay.

Chu Qing-Yan turned her head and thought a bit, in the end her lips lifted up in a smile. “Maybe because there is no pressure saying these things to you!”

Although her interaction with Fire Spirit’s group could be considered harmonious, she felt she still haven’t fully walked into that circle.

If there was a day when Big Block of Ice passed away, then their circle would probably exclude her totally!

Whereas the person in front of her gave people the feeling of being upright and nefarious at the same time, making people unable to fathom or see through him. But sometimes she would feel, he is worthy of her trust.

The person below didn’t bother concealing her trust in him, as well as that half thwarted smile at the corner of her mouth. This made Dongting Wang-Yu’s heart tremble slightly. When he returned to his senses, the person had already walked far away.

As he watched that petite figure gradually getting further away, a complicated expression emerged from his eyes.

This was his first time acting in the role of listening to someone else’s worries. This kind of feeling really make one unexpectedly feel warm inside.

If it were other females at this age, if they were not thinking of rouges and powders, then they would be thinking of pretty clothes.

Where as she had already start to careful think things through at such a young age. What she considered was the outlook of the overall situation that even an adult may not be able to see as clearly as she did.

He suddenly felt it was somewhat of a pity, only that his plan was not allowed to be changed. He still hadn’t gotten that thing.

Therefore he didn’t tell the little girl that at the latest, within half a month, Xiao Xu enemies’ families would come upon them.

This was the information he received.

But his position was not the same as hers, so he couldn’t tell her.

Dongting Wang-Yu lifted his head to look at that bent moon covered by the misty clouds, his eyes also seemed to be covered in a layer of haze.

The upright and also nefarious beautiful youth as bright as a jade tree faced the wind.

When Chu Qing-Yan walked out of the back mountain, a figure standing perfectly straight was already under the tree up front, it was as if he had been waiting for a long time.

“Master.” When Jin Xin saw the person coming over treading on the moonlight, he bent his head in salute.

“Jin Xin, do you have something you want to ask me?” Chu Qing-Yan stood firmly in front of him and looked at him as she asked this.

Jin Xin lifted his head and seriously said. “What does master want Jin Xin to ask?”

Chu Qing-Yan choked. Originally, she thought he would question her purpose of remaining by herself here alone, unfortunately she still underestimated him. When she looked into his eyes, she finally understood this person had a superior mind and thoughts. He knew what he ought to ask and what he shouldn’t ask.

“Nothing, just speaking without thinking.” She expounded.

Hearing this, Jin Xin didn’t ask anything more.

“How is your martial arts right now?”

While the two were walking on the return road, Chu Qing-Yan once more opened her mouth to ask.

If she didn’t remember incorrectly, at that time in the underground prison, she discovered he knew martial arts. But at that time in the underground prison, there was no opportunity to make use of his martial arts. From that time, she never had an opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of his martial arts. Tonight she suddenly recalled this, so she asked about this in passing.

“It won’t be a problem for one person to handle ten ordinary large men.” Jin Xin considered it a bit before replying.

Chu Qing-Yan’s eyes lit up, it seemed she really did pick up a treasure.

“Before, did you measure yourself against Fire Spirit’s group?” She asked again.

“En, when measuring against Fire Spirit I won’t suffer a defeat within thirty moves. While it’s twenty moves with Earth Spirit.” Jin Xin recalled the period before when he was pulled away by Fire Spirit’s group for devilish training and his complexion changed slightly. However, he couldn’t help but concede that the reason why he was able to improve so quickly was a credit to their training.

Chu Qing-Yan didn’t catch that instant change in Jin Xin’s expression, her heart was somewhat happy. Big Block of Ice had once said before that Fire Spirit and Earth Spirit had the best martial arts among the Xiao Lie Cavalry. Their martial arts were also personally taught by Big Block of Ice. If Jin Xin could last for so many moves against them and not lose, at least when there was danger, with Jin Xin present she won’t drag Big Block of Ice’s down.

“Good, continue to strive hard.” Naturally Chu Qing-Yan meant Fire Spirit group’s training for him.

“Yes.” Jin Xin had some difficulty agreeing to this, it seemed he still needed to slowly walk down this endless, long road.

Very quickly, Chu Qing-Yan and Jin Xin returned to the courtyard. This was a separate courtyard of the local magistrate. When the local magistrate knew they were about to arrive, he prepared an appropriate place for them to live. Everyone didn’t decline, so they moved in.

It’s easy to invite the Buddha in but hard to send the Buddha off.

At this time, on Big Block of Ice’s desk were all the records for the past several years from this county. The local magistrate wanted to use flattery and fawning to let Big Block of Ice give him a break, but afraid this was impossible.

Passing through the hallway, there was a line of guards on sentry duty patrolling. When she walked to the door to Big Block of Ice’s room, Fire Spirit was personally guarding outside.

“Little Consort.” Fire Spirit saluted towards her.

“His Highness is already asleep right?” Chu Qing-Yan stopped in front of him and asked in a low voice.

“Already asleep.” Fire Spirit nodded, he said with a grateful expression. “Many thanks to the Little Consort for lending a helping hand this time. Otherwise tonight, master would again stay up all night to deal with official matters.”

“You are being too polite. His highness’s deed for the past several days, even I can not stand by and watch idly. I only hope when he wakes up, he won’t discover I drugged him. Otherwise——” She scoffed and shook her head. She didn’t need to think about the consequences, it would certainly be very bitter.

Fire Spirit was amused by her. “Little Consort, the sky is pretty dark, it’s best you return and rest early! This subordinate will be here to guard master, nothing will happen.”

“En.” Just now she wanted to go in and glance at Big Block of Ice. But thinking about it, she just let it be. They used so much drugs and it took him so long to collapse. If by chance she woke him up by going in, wouldn’t it be that the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses?

Chu Qing-Yan was about to turn and leave, but then she thought of something else. Her footsteps halted as she turned back to ask him. “Fire Spirit, recently is there anything fishy that happened near his side? Or maybe traveling along the road, was there any strange movement?”

She asked in a very vague manner, but Fire Spirit immediately understood when he heard it and shook his head. “Everything is very normal. Nothing happened.”

Finished hearing this, Chu Qing-Yan was still not assured. “It’s best you guys reinforce the guards soon.”

“This subordinate understands, rest assured Little Consort.” Fire Spirit earnestly replied.

Only now did Chu Qing-Yan nod and leave.

She hoped this wasn’t the calm before the storm.
