Qing Zhanâs fingers went stiff. Then, she took a deep breath and said, âElder sister, is it really you?â
Yun Biluo gave a gentle smile, âWho else can it be if not me?â
âI am just surprised.â Qing Zhan recovered from her initial shock, âAfter all, at that time, we all thought that you have died. â
Yun Biluoâs eyes were stunned, âSilly girl, Iâm still here.â
Qing Zhan looked at her again and didnât know what to say.
After all, it had been a long time, so it couldnât be helped that they were not as close as before.
Also, she had a rather quiet personality.
Yun Biluo seemed to know her very well, she smiled again, âLet us walk around and talk about how you all have been for all these years.â
Qing Zhan looked at her smile and saw that the sun was about to go down, âNot now,â she said, âI have to protect the princess consort.â
Yun Biluoâs originally smiling face froze, but she quickly raised the corner of her lips again and ignored the word âprincess consortâ, âRight, I just remembered to ask you, why are you not by Young Master Lieâs side and instead appeared at...â
âElder sister,â Qing Zhan suddenly interrupted Yun Biluo, âYou have never thought about coming back all these years. Why did you decide to come back when His Highness is married?â
Her water-like eyes immediately turned red when Yun Biluo heard her words, âQing Zhan, it was not my decision to not come back. It was the Retired Emperor who did not allow me to appear.â
âElder sister, you donât have to explain so much to her.â Hei Zhu who was listening by the side suddenly appeared. She looked at Qing Zhan and sneered, âShe has been brainwashed by Helian Wei Wei and is not even able to distinguish a simple right from wrong.â
Yun Biluo looked extremely uncomfortable, shaking her head at Hei Zhu.
Qing Zhan did not wish to worsen the situation, but still she looked up and glanced at Hei Zhu, âIt is you who is not able to distinguish right from wrong. Hei Zhu, donât forget that our master is His Highness.â
She looked deeply at Yun Biluo while speaking. The tears of her former sister made her feel uncomfortable.
But she felt that the incident was strange since it began, so she had to set up a defence.
âHei Zhu, stop picking on her. She also has her difficulties.â Yun Biluo sucked in a breath and coughed gently. When she looked back at Qing Zhan, she gave her a dazzling smile.
Qing Zhan knew that benevolence and justice did not always complement each other, so she was able to leave straightforwardly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âElder sister, why are you so kind to such an ungrateful thing?â Hei Zhu said coldly, âWhat a waste for you to still remember her. She is nothing but an ingrate.â
Yun Biluo did not talk anymore, she looked at the back of Qing Zhan and slowly looked downwards.
Naturally, Qing Zhan could hear the vituperation behind her. Her fingers tightened around the long sword she had on her before slowly releasing it a short while after.
What she was most worried about now was how to tell the princess consort about this.
Does His Highness know that elder sister is still alive?
It is very likely for His Highness to meet elder sister since he is now in the White Academy as well. How will His Highness treat the princess consort once he knows about this?
At that moment, Qing Zhan was somewhat retreating.
She did not want to hurt the woman who helped her when she thought she was in an abyss...
As the sun set, the twilight disappeared.
Helian Wei Wei who was silent all this while stood up, she seemed like she had arranged her thoughts and clapped her hands, âWell, letâs tidy up and find the old member of the legends.â
âReally?â Yuan Ming was shocked, âYou have been taking care of a child since the beginning. How did you get any information on the old members?â
Helian Wei Wei raised her lips, âI have a question for you. Letâs say there are two inns and both are with guests. One day, a student got up in the night as he wanted to go to the toilet and lit the oil lamp. He got scared when he saw a man in front who was holding a nail as he nailed a person to the wall. Just when he wanted to lie back, he saw the man who held the nail raise his head and look over at him. He pointed at him and said something. What do you think the man with the nail was saying?â
âWhat else can it be, he definitely said that the next one is you.â As a demon, Yuan Ming was very confident in the answer he gave.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyelids, âYouâre wrong.â
âIâm wrong?â Yuan Ming couldnât believe it. He had never been more curious for an answer like he did now, âThen, what was the person with the nail saying?â
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyes, âHe was counting in the room where you stayed...â
The fine hair on Yuan Mingâs body stood up when he heard this.
Helian Wei Wei continued, âOrdinary people will subconsciously think at the perspective of the student and the answer given in usual circumstances would be the same as what you said. But the real murderer will act directly from the beginning. In the place where I used to live, Americaâs FBI would give a few questions in order to test who is the serial killer. There are very few people who scored 60% and above, unless those people were of unsound mind. The methodology provides us a principle. The first step to find people is to think from his or her perspective. This way, it will be more efficient.â
âSo?â Yuan Ming forced himself to take his thoughts out of that strange case. He raised his brow and asked, âWho do you think the old member of the Battle Spirit Forces will be?â
Helian Wei Wei smiled, âFirst of all, I donât think this person is very old. According to the general latent deployment, the leader can be an old man like old man Huan, but for the real member of the Battle Spirit Forces and to be able to hide so well in the White Academy, it must be a man in his thirties. This age group doesnât only mean he is strong, but he can also carry out various activities better. Moreover, his position must be higher than that of old man Huan and the rest. It is the rule of any mercenary that the higher the position, the deeper he can hide. Not only outsiders, even the leader will not know his true identity. His real combat power is often concentrated in the thirties age range. Also, if I am the person in charge of the Battle Spirit Forces, I will become a person who can access any information I want to in order to understand the qualifications of the students of White Academy and reserve my new students. Also, I will be able to cover up the students who will perform the tasks so that I can remain as the mystery of Battle Spirit Forces. With this thought in mind, that person must be one who has the absolute power, who doesnât choose any faction, and is able to do his job with skill and ease among the major families, and there is only one person in White Academy who fulfills these requirements...â
