âWho said Iâm unhappy?â The young man laughed out loud with his overly handsome face. âCanât you see? I am happy, I have someone at my side now. Compared to you, sheâs very obedient, and also much younger.â
Helian Wei Weiâs blood froze throughout her body, but the corners of her mouth were curved. âI didnât know you were into this type, falling for someone so young.â
âWeâre about the same age,â the young man said monotonously. âYouâre just too old or rather, I should say that youâve been the same age this whole time, never changing since then. Eight years are just a blink of an eye for you.â
Helian Wei Wei lowered her head, glancing at the iron chain beneath her feet. âSo, who are you sending me off to?â
âWho do you want me to send you off to?â The young manâs voice turned cold.
Helian Wei Wei observed him for a while, and something crossed her mind, making her laugh suddenly. âI think Nangong Lie is not bad. As you can see, heâs handsome, nice to girls, and he has power and authority as well.â
Upon hearing her words, the young manâs gaze turned colder. âI truly underestimated you. Power and authority, huh.â
âYour Highness, you asked the question so I was merely answering your question.â Helian Wei Wei replied, lowering her head to pick up the iron chain. She tied it around herself and said seriously, âOkay, you can send me off now.â
The young man looked at her profoundly, and said in a low voice, âAfter eight years, this is what you want to tell me, you are so... Ah, never mind. Shadow, send her out.â
Helian Wei Wei was speechless.
Truth be told, she was a little startled.
Based on her deduction, he should be making her stay.
Why was the opposite happening?
Maybe she thought too simply of this issue.
After so many years, there were too many things that could not be predicted.
She was unable to see through the young manâs mind accurately anymore.
Helian Wei Wei was indeed kicked out, but because there were chains around her body, she attracted some attention from the people in the palace.
However, she could not just leave like this. After thinking about it, she said to Shadow, âJust now your master said that he wants to give me away to Nangong Lie, what is the direction to the Holy Worship Temple?â
Shadow glanced at her, but he did not say a word; his face looked a little tense.
âLittle Shadow, your master denies me, but you should still accept me,â Helian Wei Wei said with a laugh. âBack then, you still had to call me Sister Wei.â
Shadow halted his footsteps, and he turned to look at her. âThings are different now.â
âWhatâs different?â Helian Wei Wei curved her thin lips.
Shadow lowered his pupils. âHis Highness has fallen in love with another person. There are some things that you shouldnât do anymore. Obey him a little more, and your situation will be better too.â
âLittle Shadow, thanks for being so considerate to me.â Helian Wei Wei stretched her body, the iron chains clanking. âThere are some things that I would still do even if heâs in love with someone else, but Iâll try to obey him more.â
Shadow hesitated a little before saying, âAre you really going to Young Master Lieâs?â
âHis Highness wants me there. What if he gets angry at me for not going?â Helian Wei Weiâs finger twirled around the iron chains as though she was thinking about something.
Even though it seemed that way, for some reason he felt like His Highness would be even more unhappy if Sister Wei really went to Young Master Lie.
Shadow did not say this out loud, but instead, he just dropped her off at the Holy Worship Temple.
Nangong Lie was wearing the holy worship robe, pretending to practice divination. When he saw Helian Wei Wei arriving in chains, his narrow eyes widened. âWhatâs the meaning of this?â
âDidnât you want a death knight? Well, Iâm considered one.â Helian Wei Wei had been standing for so long that she was already tired, and she got herself a chair to sit down.
Nangong Lie was focusing on the chains around her instead, his eyes filled with mischief. He was very familiar with this type of chain; it was made of frost iron. He had bugged Ah Jue for it a few times, but he never gave it to him, yet now he had used it to tie a woman up...
âYoung Master Lie, His Highness said if youâre unsatisfied, you may send her somewhere else.â Shadow immediately opened his mouth to speak, thinking that by saying this, the other person would understand his meaning. After all, Young Master Lie was one of the few people who understood his prince.
It was just that, unexpectedly, Nangong Lie started to laugh. âWhy would I be unsatisfied? Ah Jue has sent me a beauty, I couldnât be happier.â He would make her stay, even if it was only for the frost iron chain.
âYoung Master Lie.â It seemed like Shadow had more to say.
Helian Wei Wei opened her mouth to speak, âLittle Shadow, since Young Master Lie is satisfied, you should go back and report on completion of your task.â
âYes, hurry back and report it.â The smile on Nangong Lieâs face was ever so bright. âDonât forget to thank Ah Jue on my behalf.â
Seeing this, Shadow could only reply solemnly, âYes.â
After he left, Nangong Lie turned his head to Helian Wei Wei. His long finger held her chin as he laughed. âSo tell me, what can you do?â
âBeat people up,â Helian Wei Wei answered him, smiling faintly.
Nangong Lieâs smile stiffened, then he smiled again. âWhat were you thinking back then? You just pounced on him and kissed him, werenât you scared that Ah Jue would kill you on the spot?â
âHe wonât.â Helian Wei Wei could at least be sure of this one thing, but some situations were still out of her hands, such as him falling in love with someone else...
Nangong Lieâs phoenix eyes were wickedly seductive. âDid anything ever happen before between you and Ah Jue?â
âAbsolutely nothing.â The soul fragments must be kept a secret from other people, so Helian Wei Weiâs tone remained calm.
Nangong Lie laughed coldly. âDo you think Iâm blind? You and Ah Jue...â
âI also have another skill,â Helian Wei Wei interrupted him nonchalantly. âIâm good at wooing people, such as courting Qing Zhan, Iâm the best at these things.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nangong Lie was instantly stunned, and he started stuttering, âI, I donât know what youâre talking about.â
âThe first step to courting a woman is to give her flowers.â Helian Wei Wei raised her brows. âDid you give Qing Zhan flowers?â
Nangong Lieâs face turned red. âHa, ha, ha! Why would I give a little girl...â
Helian Wei Wei did not say anything, and she just looked at him.
Nangong Lieâs voice softened as if he was mumbling to himself, âWhat flowers should I give?â
Helian Wei Wei looked at the young man in front of her, the corners of her lips curved up into a smile. She thought, even though I canât deal with His Highness, I can still deal with you, a bunch of youngsters who havenât yet grown up!
âRoses. Giving a rose signifies the person is the only one, giving three means I love you. What do you think? How many do you want to give?â
Nangong Lieâs gaze wavered. âWhat âI love youâ? I canât say things like that, Iâll just give one flower.â
âThen, one flower it is.â Helian Wei Wei raised the corners of her mouth. For a young master who was a playboy, the meaning of giving one rose would be more significant than three...
