Chen Xianbin was so glad that Murong Qingyan woke up at the moment when the dagger darted to Chen Wenwen, and the dagger halted in the air somewhere less than one inch away from Chen Wenwen along with Murong Qingyanâs waking up.
Chen Xianbin didnât know about the nature of Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jueâs relationship, but at the moment he felt they two were particularly intimate seeing the way Huangfu Jue protected Murong Qingyan and held her in his arms like a treasure.
Chen Xianbin had also realized no way could he persuade Huangfu Jue from hurting his sister, so he could only count on Murong Qingyan.
Murong Qingyan took a look at Chen Xianbin then she signaled Huangfu Jue to put her down. Huangfu Jue felt reluctant to let go of Murong Qingyan, âYou are still weak, you are better off resting in my arms.â
âIâm all right.â Murong Qingyan replied, âI know my situation, I can keep my feet.â
Huangfu Jue knew how stubborn this girl could get, so he had to put her down and offered his shoulder for her to rest her head on him.
Probably it was because Huangfu Jue had saved her several times already and Murong Qingyan was used to his help, Murong Qingyan didnât avoid that behavior.
Murong Qingyan shot a glimpse at Chen Xianbin, Si Huang and Butler Chen, âYou are all begging for leniency gor Chen Wenwen, do you have any idea what she has done?â
Murong Qingyan noticed they were all heavily injured, but she could hardly feel any sympathy for them.
Chen Xianbin lowered his head with guilt, but soon he opened his mouth, âMiss Murong, Wenwen is still young, Iâm sure she didnât offend you on purpose. Plus, she has already learned her lesson, please let her go this time!â
Chen Xianbin kept begging Murong Qingyan for he knew he didnât stand a chance with Huangfu Jue and softening Murong Qingyanâs heart was the only way to save his sisterâs life.
âBut look at your sister, do you think she has already acknowledged her mistake and felt sorry?â Murong Qingyan sneered, âAre you sure she wonât bite the hand that feeds her if I ask Huangfu Jue to let her go?â
As a matter of fact, Chen Wenwen had already bitten the hand that fed her, she used Murong Qingyan as a human shield right after Murong Qingyan had pulled her away when the serpent attacked her. Chen Wenwen would have had been dead if not for Murong Qingyan in the first place! But what had Murong Qingyan got for saving Chen Wenwenâs life â a stepping-stone!
Murong Qingyan took a look at Chen Wenwen, there was no guilt in her eyes, resentment and jealousy were what Murong Qingyan could only see. Murong Qingyan knew no way would Chen Wenwen feel grateful for her even though she set her free this day, and Murong Qingyan was sure that Chen Wenwen would spare no effort to plot against her in the future.
âIâm sure my lady is sorry!â replied Butler Chen, âMiss Murong, my lady is a good person!â
âSay something, Wenwen!â Chen Xianbin shouted, âJust tell Miss Murong you feel sorry.â
Chen Wenwen had heard what her brother and Butler Chen said, but she just couldnât open her mouth and apologize to Murong Qingyan, the ugly face! She just couldnât get it why her, the young lady of Chen Family, should apologize to an ugly face in this small country!
âThere we go!â Murong Qingyan shrugged, âYour lady doesnât feel sorry. Do you really think I should forgive her and let her go?â
âMiss Murong, Wenwen is just too terrified to speak!â Chen Xianbin cursed his sister for being so stupid while he continued begging Murong Qingyan, âMiss. Murong, Iâm sure Wenwen has offended you, but is it so serious that itâs justified in killing her as punishment? You are fine now, so please have mercy on Wenwen!â
âHahaha, is it justified in killing her? Thatâs such a great question!â Murong Qingyan repeated what Chen Xianbin said after a laugh like she had heard a funny joke.
âShameless! The lots of you!â Xiao Bai who stayed at Murong Qingyanâs feet opened its mouth, âHow can you even ask that question when you have no idea what that girl has done! As far as Iâm concerned, death doesnât even begin to compensate for what she has done. Iâm so tired listening you lots discussing whether death is a well-deserved punishment.â
Chen Xianbin was startled hearing Xiao Bai talking, because only ancient mythical creature could talk, he looked Xiao Bai up and down, he had no idea this cute fur ball was an ancient mythical creature! âHow come I canât feel anything from its vibe?â thought Chen Xianbin.
But they didnât have time or energy to pester Murong Qingyan any further about Xiao Bai, the priority was Chen Wenwenâs safety.
âBut⌠what exactly has Wenwen done?â Chen Xianbin asked reluctantly, he was hoping to not get to the point because he knew Chen Wenwen must have had done something horrible based on Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jueâs reaction, but now he had to face the music.
Si Huang and Butler Chen both held their breath and waited for an answer.
âThat woman should use my master as a human shield and pushed my master to take the attack for her!â Xiao Bai fumed, its blood boiled with righteous indignation, âMy master almost died because of her!â
âMy master now is fine thanks to Huangfu Jue! Huangfu Jue is doing the right thing, I would like to punish her as well, nothing much, just to let her feel what my master has gone through because of her! Thatâs the only fair way!â thought Xiao Bai.
