The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 425 - 424: Please Stay Away from Me
Ye Ying’s seriousness and stubbornness are not a facade; they are genuine, stemming from his desire to help Lan Xihe seek revenge and vent her anger.
Lan Xihe smiled, rubbing her head gently against Ye Ying’s chest, looking exquisitely charming.
This was a side of her that only appeared in front of Ye Ying. To others, she was always the high and mighty noble lady of the Beast Taming Clan, seemingly untouched by the mortal world.
"Stop just smiling, hurry and tell me, who is that person?" Ye Ying asked anxiously.
Lan Xihe replied, "That person is..." deliberately pausing for a moment, and then continued, "it’s Jun Ning, the Pavilion Master of Qianji Pavilion, the eighteenth princess of the Eastern Chu Kingdom..."
"It’s her?" A hint of trouble appeared in Ye Ying’s expression, still showing some difficulty.
Lan Xihe pursued, "Well, knowing it’s her, are you hesitant?"
Ye Ying was silent for a moment and then said, "No, just feeling a bit uncomfortable."
"Hmm, how are you uncomfortable?" Lan Xihe asked with a smile.
Ye Ying rubbed Lan Xihe’s head and said, "It’s just as you said, she was once my superior, I served her. Now having to confront her, I truly feel the unpredictability of life..."
These words were spoken rationally, casually, without a hint of personal emotion.
It seemed that Jun Ning was just someone Ye Ying had known and worked with; that was all.
Lan Xihe said, "Life is indeed unpredictable. Ye Ying, you feel this way; does it mean you’re unwilling to help me take revenge?"
Ye Ying retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have no parents, no siblings. In this world, the dearest and most important to me is only you, Xihe, my only lover, my wife."
"You bad..." Lan Xihe made a show of feigning anger and lightly punched Ye Ying’s chest a few times. "You just scared me to death, you know?"
"Really?" Ye Ying pinched Lan Xihe’s nose. "You don’t look like you’ve been scared?"
"Really, truly..."
"Let me see, where are you scared?"
After the playful banter, as night gradually fell, Ye Ying tidied up, preparing to head to the Eastern Chu Kingdom’s camp to assassinate Jun Ning and vent Lan Xihe’s anger.
Before leaving, Lan Xihe, reluctant to part, held Ye Ying’s hand and said, "Ye Ying, I’ll be waiting for you to come back..."
Ye Ying said, "Sleep early, no need to wait for me."
Upon speaking, Ye Ying’s figure disappeared into the boundless night, and Lan Xihe gradually could not see his form or sense his presence.
For some reason, her heart was still anxious.
With this anxiety, she returned to the tent, completely without sleepiness. She found a book and began reading while waiting for Ye Ying.
...
On Jun Ning’s side, she did not relax at all after dealing with the wild beasts of Bei Xia Beast Taming Clan.
Late at night, after having dinner, she added a piece of clothing and continued reading documents from various places, replying to letters, and checking the soldiers’ training reports.
After getting used to being busy, she felt uncomfortable being idle.
If Jun Ning were to idle for a day now, spending time on leisure, she would inevitably feel guilty, uncomfortable everywhere.
Having handled a heap of tasks, she then began reading military books, Chao Jiu repeatedly urged her to go to bed, but she couldn’t sleep, planning to read for another half hour before sleeping.
Late at night, all was silent.
Jun Ning was flipping through the military book in her hand, and couldn’t help but recall when she occasionally went to Qianji Pavilion; Ye Ying was just like her, unable to put the book down.
Even though he was busy every day, whenever he had the chance, he would start reading various books.
He was always a studious and diligent person.
Being able to manage Qianji Pavilion so well had its reasons.
"Who is it?" Chao Jiu suddenly became alert.
Jun Ning was interrupted from her thoughts by his voice. She put down the book in her hand and asked cautiously, "Chao Jiu, what’s wrong? Who came?"
Chao Jiu said, "Reporting to the Crown Prince, I just saw someone flash past behind you..."
Jun Ning frowned, "Behind me?"
If someone had passed behind her, she wouldn’t have missed it. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"A slip of the tongue..." Chao Jiu tapped his mouth and corrected, "Someone flashed past behind the tent you’re in..."
Jun Ning said, "Send someone to check it out?"
Chao Jiu led people to look.
Jun Ning got up and wiped towards outside to also go and check, but as she approached the tent’s entrance, she felt a cold dagger pressed at her neck.
The blade was very cold, pressing on Jun Ning’s neck, danger and fear magnified infinitely under this chill.
However, no fear was seen on Jun Ning’s face, she calmly spoke, "Who are you?"
"Speak inside." A familiar voice sounded next to Jun Ning’s ear.
Jun Ning didn’t have time to delve into whose familiar voice it was before a large hand pushed her into the tent.
This hand, showing no gentleness, pushed with great force.
Jun Ning almost stumbled.
Finally steady inside the tent, Jun Ning was about to continue asking who it was when she saw the person threatening her with the dagger coming around to her front.
She indifferently yet coldly said, "Pavilion Master, long time no see!"
"Ye Ying? It’s you?"
Jun Ning was shocked, her eyes widened, but after the brief shock, a huge joy surged up inside her, so much so that she forgot the danger brought by Ye Ying’s sudden appearance.
She excitedly grabbed Ye Ying’s hand and said, "It’s good that you’re not dead. Do you know, all these years I’ve been searching everywhere for you, but I searched for so long, sent so many people, and still couldn’t find you."
Ye Ying rudely shook off Jun Ning’s hand, pressed the dagger closer to Jun Ning’s neck, causing her neck to bleed from the sharp blade, prickling pain.
Ye Ying indifferently said, "Please stay away from me."
