Addicted To Boundlessly Pampering You Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Watching Fires Burn From Across The River

But she unconsciously lost self control for a brief moment, which was what gave her away. Both Elder Fu and Zhuang Sheng were first cla.s.s experts, how could they not notice? Gu Weiyi also realized that she had involuntarily given herself away and inwardly said, "Not good."

"So you didn't lose consciousness, ah!" Zhuang Sheng's calculating voice rang out in the silence. Gu Weiyi opened her eyes, she could no longer pretend. She arrogantly lifted her head up to meet his gaze, her eyes were completely calm.

"Your cheap tricks can't stump me!" She, Gu Weiyi, couldn't bring herself to bow her head in front of Zhuang Sheng, no matter what.

"Heng. Beautiful woman, even if you're awake, it doesn't change anything. Don't think that your gege can save you just because they fought their way into the stronghold. Even if you can't become a bargaining chip, if something happens in Blue Snow Stronghold, I'll absolutely make sure to kill you at that moment and let you be buried with the dead!"

"Heng. Why would my Xiu Luo villa come attack Blue Snow Stronghold? We've suffered no wrongs nor have we any hatred, so why would we come and do such a difficult and thankless task?" She didn't trust him, there had to be lies in this!

"It isn't Xiu Luo villa? Do you take our Blue Snow Stronghold's ling yu as vegetarians? Could it be that your status can't be investigated?!" Zhuang Sheng's sneered at her with a face full of anger, confusing Gu Weiyi. Although this middle aged man was quite disagreeable, the absolute adoration he held toward his home was undeniable. Gu Weiyi believed that he wouldn't joke at this moment. Then could it be that gege had truly began fighting with Blue Snow Stronghold? But, what could their motive be?

"Why would Xiu Luo villa wish to attack Blue Snow Stronghold?" This question was genuine, stemming from her heart. But when she asked, it caused Zhuang Sheng and Elder Fu's furious gazes to land on her. Elder Fu coldly looked at Gu Weiyi and mockingly said, "Shouldn't we be asking you this?"

Ask her? How would she know? She was very confused by the whole situation now.

"Regardless of how you guys learned of Blue Snow Stronghold's mysteries, we will never allow you guys to have your way!" Zhuang Sheng fixed his hate filled gaze on Gu Weiyi. Before she could try and explain herself, she felt a pinch on her neck and her vision quickly darkened…

"Properly bind her Elder. What should we do now?" Zhuang Sheng looked at Gu Weiyi with satisfaction clearly shown in his eyes. Currently Gu Weiyi was unconscious on the floor and being bound up like a rice dumpling. He loathed this woman, despite the fact that she seemed to truly be beautiful and pure. But, it was this woman that caused the G.o.d in his mind, his Young Master, to turn into just any other person. She even brought disaster to Blue Snow Stronghold. This woman couldn't be forgiven, no matter what!

"Naturally we should bring her to the main hall to act as a hostage." A slight smile suddenly bloomed on Elder Fu's face. For such a smile to abruptly appear on his serious face was really quite strange. When Zhuang Sheng saw Elder Fu's expression, he had some doubts.

"What happened?" Elder Fu's keen eyes quickly spotted Zhuang Sheng's stunned expression and he suspiciously asked. Awkwardly coughing, Zhuang Sheng shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing happened."

A complex light streaked across Elder Fu's eyes at the response. He turned to look out the window and changed the topic. "Let's leave."

The game has started!

Water Pavilion's Other Courtyard 

"Your Majesty, our people found Xue Wushuang in Blue Snow Stronghold!"

The male, who had just been engrossed in the book he was reading, lifted his head up. A peculiar light flashed across his keen hawk eyes. A profoundly mysterious smile grew on his beautiful face.

"I truly looked so hard for her and now I find her right under my nose! Xue Wushuang entering Blue Snow Stronghold is just what I wished for. It seems like even the Heavens are helping me this time, ah! Pa.s.s on the instructions to further provoke Xiu Luo villa and Blue Snow Stronghold. The fiercer it becomes, the better!"

"Your instructions will be followed Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, we'll let it just be like this and watch the two tigers fight across the river?" The person who asked this was the short man who was always by Lan Sheng Ling's side.

"Heng, how could I let it be so easy for them? I want to be both the old fisherman and the black-headed goldfinch*. I want both the righteous and underworld parts of the martial arts world to be in my hands. Once I have both powers under my control, the day I ascend the imperial throne will be right in front of my eyes!" That pair of profound and keen eyes held a longing to win power and sow destruction!

Looking at the short male wearing a black armband, Lan Sheng Ling's eyes carried slight warning as he said, "Since you've selected the path of vengeance, you have to listen to my words. I don't want you to turn soft hearted when the time comes and become unable to bring yourself to act, ah!"

The masked male's figure instantly stiffened and in his rough voice, he said, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

Coldly snorting, Lan Sheng Ling's voice carried ridiculing and pondering as he said, "Aren't you clear in your heart? Even if you haven't said anything to me, do you think I don't know what you used to do?"

The short male began to tremble. Despite the fact that his face was hidden under the veil, Lan Sheng Ling knew that it had become distorted. His fingers dug into his palm in an attempt to control himself. It was evident that the short man was having a hard time calming himself down. After a few moments, he slowly said, with great difficulty, "Your Majesty sent people to investigate me?"

"Heng. It's called knowing yourself and your enemy, that's how you stay victorious. How could I trust you so easily? Naturally I had to have some sort of bargaining chip! You understand this, don't you? Moreover, you have many things that you hid from this Majesty, ah!" Lan Sheng Ling's handsome face remained as indifferent as ever, something that could send immense fright to anybody. 

"Your Majesty really allowed Bai Li to receive instructions!"

Seeming to not have heard the other person's mocking and resentful tone, Lan Sheng Ling raised his head and squinted his eyes. With a dangerous aura surrounding him, he looked at him, "Compared to your conduct before, how I am now is just an appetizer, right? Valley master Bai Lifeng?"

"Asking Your Majesty not to say this name anymore!" Bai Lifeng slowly uttered each word, one at a time, as if they were filled with lead, with a surprisingly tough tone. Yet, his words carried a hint of despair and depression beneath them. No matter how much he tried to control himself, his small body still slightly shook.

"As long as you properly perform this Majesty's duties, we can nicely talk over anything. Besides, this Majesty was just reminding you, nothing more. If you dislike me bringing up this topic, then this Majesty won't talk about this topic in the future." It felt as if Lan Sheng Ling had suddenly switched people, his eyes were suddenly soft again. However, the overbearing expression he wore told Bai Lifeng that he couldn't betray him!

He didn't know how long he would be under someone else's control, it was truly sorrowful, ah! Under Bai Lifeng's veil, there was a type of mocking look in his eyes. He, Bai Lifeng, actually fell into such a day. Should he blame this on himself or the two children for enticing him as well as his own bitterness?

Everything was all in vain.

"Are the shadow guards and imperial army ready?" Lan Sheng Ling switched the topic, becoming aloof and a.s.sertive again as he began planning strategies.

"It's already been properly arranged. They're ready to besiege all of Blue Snow Stronghold's people at any time."

"Very good. Wait until both sides are suffering and neither has won. You guys know what to do then, right?"

"This subordinate knows."

Right now in Blue Snow Stronghold, there was blood everywhere, as far as the eye could see. The fighting had already been happening for one whole night. Alongside backup guards continuously entering into the fight, Xiu Luo villa's current situation was in a downward spiral. The previous fairyland that had always been removed from worldly affairs now turned into a h.e.l.lish scene full of carnage! Scarlet red blood and a repulsive fishy smell remained around snapped limbs and broken bodies. The previously crisp lawn no longer the type of green that people hoped for. It had already become stained with red, representing death and farewells.

*Both have the same general concept that the saying "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind him" represents
