Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Does she still care about others?
Heng Huang is coming up the mountain?
I've heard from Li Xuanbai a long time ago that this young lady is willful and spoiled, and she's always acting like a spoiled brat. I'm afraid her reputation is well-deserved.
She smiled and said, "But, if the young master rejected Miss Heng, what does it have to do with me? Could it be that the young master is..."
He paused for the rest of his words meaningfully and just smiled at her gently.
Song Yaojie felt a fire suddenly surge from her chest to her stomach, threatening to burn her internal organs to a crisp. What? This spy woman had tricked him with her tears, and she was still feigning innocence?!
Just how did he treat her? How many foolish things had he done for her? Anyone with eyes could see through his thoughts, yet this woman with ulterior motives actually had the audacity to pretend to be ignorant?!
She said, "I'm here to get you on the orders of my uncle. Get out!"
Nan Qiong Shuang smiled from the flowered window: "It's a pity that this servant can't go out."
The more she looked at that smile, the more annoying it became. Song Yaojie was so angry that she almost started shaking.
After a while, the guard who refused to budge at the door looked around and sneered, "Okay, okay. They are all good guards of Gu Huaijin. I want to see how long he can protect this woman!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, and the heavy gate of the courtyard slammed with a loud bang.
Nan Qiong Shuang looked out the window, her hands gripping the window frame, tightening slightly.
Gu Huaijin was punished again. Will he come to see her again in the evening?
It's the dead of night and people's minds are always not clear. Tonight, maybe I can trick him into saying something nice.
She lowered her eyes, smiled, and sat back at the table.
The peace didn't last long before the gate opened again.
The person who came in this time was actually a stranger. She was wearing a gardenia yellow flowered shark silk outer gown, a moon-white skirt underneath, and a pair of emerald pearl flowers in her hair. The slightest movement caused the hanging beads to sway.
Song Yaojie followed her in: "Miss Heng...!"
Heng Huang didn't even look back at her. He stamped his feet and said, "I want to see what kind of woman this is. She actually asked Brother Jin to lose face for her—" Like a whirlwind, he rushed to her door in two or three steps: "Is that the woman Brother Jin brought back? Get out of the way."
Li Zhong clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask who the young lady is?"
"Heng Huang, the daughter of the head of Hengshan Sect, and the niece of Elder Huide." The words were uttered like stray bullets, and it was obvious that he had no patience at all.
"Miss Chu has not recovered from the poisoning and is not allowed to see anyone under the orders of the Young Sect Leader. I hope Miss Heng will understand."
"Considerate?" Heng Huang laughed, spread her five nail-painted fingers, swung her arm and slapped Li Zhong in the face without a word, "Get out of the way! Do you want me to say it again?!"
Song Yaojie didn't dare to do anything. This was really lawless. Nan Qiongshuang hid behind the window and thought with interest.
"Miss Heng..."
"Get out of the way!" Another horrific slap.
Even Song Yaojie came up to persuade her: "Miss Heng, please don't be angry. Why don't you go talk to Huai Jin and have a good talk..."
"Speak out?" Heng Huang's red lips curled up. "Brother Jin is Brother Jin, and this woman is this woman. I must teach her a lesson today!"
She always found it interesting that a woman came to her door out of jealousy, so she pushed open the window and asked, "Miss Heng wants to see me?"
At that time, all the flowers had fallen, and there was only a tree with lush green leaves in front of the window. A person was sitting in the open flower window, holding up her cheek, looking like Chang'e, with smiling eyebrows and charming eyes. The corners of her eyes were upturned, cold and alluring.
At that glance, Heng Huang jumped up and down: "It really is a vixen who came down from the mountain! A bitch with bad intentions! Shameless thing, you have no shame at all!"
The scolding was harsh, but Song Yaojie liked to hear it, so she remained silent and ignored it.
Nan Qiongshuang smiled through the stained glass window. She didn't like being jealous over a man, and she looked down on women who were jealous over men, so she smiled without saying anything.
"Tell me! How did you manage to trick him in just a month? Brother Jin and I have been childhood sweethearts and have secretly pledged our lives to each other. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you be so bold as to steal my person!"
"We have such a good relationship. Even after not seeing each other for more than ten years, he still can't forget me. How dare you interfere? I am the only one who steals other people's things. No one else dares to steal from me! Get out of here! You are just a boat girl. You are really giving me face——"
Nan Qiong Shuang looked at her with a gentle smile and calmly closed the two halves of the window.
Are you guys in a good relationship?
I've never even heard him mention you.
Outside the window, Heng Huang was furious and hysterical: "You bastard! How dare you pretend you didn't see me?! Who gave you the courage! Get out here!!"
"No," Li Xuanbai's voice suddenly came from the eaves with a sigh, "Where did this wild woman come from? She's splashed like this. Just stay home and don't come out to embarrass the sect."
He tiptoed lightly, hugged his shoulders, and landed lightly on the ground. The little red earrings flashed for a moment in the sunlight.
Heng Huang had never seen him before, and was stunned when he saw him descend from the sky. Song Yaojie, however, knew what would happen if the two of them met today, and quietly stepped aside.
Nan Qiongshuang suddenly felt a headache. The woman in front of her was a distinguished guest on the mountain. If she went too far, everything would be blamed on her. So she opened the window: "Don't—"
Li Xuanbai and Heng Huang were sizing each other up, one with a tense look on his face, the other with disdain. After glancing at each other for a while, they probably smelled some of the same kind of scent, and both snorted in disgust and aversion, and turned their eyes away.
"Hey, what's going on?" He glanced at the guard at the door, walked to her window, and smiled, "They locked you up? Who are they protecting you from?" He glanced at Heng Huang, "How can such a scoundrel still have the time to think about you?"
Nan Qiong Shuang spread out her hands: "I don't know what's wrong with him."
Heng Huang: "You dare say that again?!" He actually ran directly behind Li Xuanbai, grabbed his ponytail, and yanked it down hard, and immediately wanted to slap him with his right hand, "How dare you!"
Li Xuanbai was dragged so hard that he looked up in embarrassment and turned around to look at her.
Nan Qiongshuang's heart skipped a beat.
She had never seen Li Xuanbai with that expression.
"Yes," Li Xuanbai spun around and grabbed her free hand, chuckling softly, "...that was truly presumptuous."
Nan Qiong Shuang: "Don't..."
Li Xuanbai just smiled and exerted force with his hands.
There was a creepy "crack".
——That was the sound of bones breaking.
Heng Huang screamed: "It hurts! It hurts!!"
"Does it hurt?" Li Xuanbai violently shook her wrist away and wiped his hands in disgust. "It's normal for it to hurt. Go away."
Song Yaojie was shocked and rushed forward, "Li Xuanbai! This is so rude! Miss Heng is..."
"What is it?" Li Xuanbai turned around and sneered, "I'm telling you, don't act like a wild beast here. I'll beat you up every time I see you."
Nan Qiong Shuang was watching from the window, almost in awe.
It is true that evil will be punished by evil.
Li Xuanbai walked to her window and jumped. Before Li Zhong and others could rush over, he had already jumped into the house and closed the window.
Heng Huang's screams and cries were immediately blocked out. Li Zhong and others were calling out to him earnestly from outside. Li Xuanbai found a place to sit down as he was familiar with the place. He picked up a lychee from the high-legged plate at the head of the bed and peeled it on the porcelain plate.
"Last time I asked to go down the mountain with me, what do you think?"
Nan Qiongshuang sat beside him, put a lychee in her palm and played with it, without saying a word.
Li Xuanbai smiled: "You don't want to?"
This person's personality was really hard to control. She might be able to provoke him in small matters, but she didn't want to confront him in big matters, so she asked vaguely, "When?"
"After the competition, I can't stay on this mountain anymore. I have to go back." He stretched in the chair.
"Go back?" She looked him over carefully.
Li Xuanbai smiled without explaining anything.
That lazy and contemptuous smile made Nan Qiong Shuang even more certain that Li Xuanbai's identity was definitely not simple.
"I'll go down the mountain with you... and we'll be together after we get off the mountain?"
"Of course." He suddenly stared at her with a serious look, "Who else do you want to be with?"
Before the hour had passed, the two men had asked her this question three or four times.
She asked, "Don't you need to take Forget Worry Powder when you go down the mountain?"
Li Xuanbai leaned back in his chair, lifted up two legs and swung them leisurely. "Me? The rest of you must use it. Me? Who dares?"
Nan Qiong Shuang couldn't help but look at him for a moment when his tone was so arrogant.
Going down the mountain is absolutely not allowed.
But if Li Xuanbai wanted to go down the mountain, she would have no chess pieces to play with and would inevitably be in a difficult position.
Coincidentally, she only had a little over a month left on the mountain, and the competition was exactly one month away.
If she still doesn't get what she needs in the remaining month, she might as well use this excuse to force Gu Huaijin one last time.
She lowered her eyelashes, dug out the broken stem of the lychee, and peeled it. "Okay, let's go together."
Li Xuanbai snapped his fingers, smiled triumphantly, and stood up: "I'll go tell that loser right now."
"Wait." Going down the mountain together was her last resort. Why use it too soon? She smiled and said, "If he finds out too soon, he'll be trying to stop me all day. Wouldn't that just cause more trouble? It's better to tell him right before we go down the mountain to avoid any trouble."
Li Xuanbai smiled upon hearing this, "That's true. Okay." He opened the window, ignoring Heng Huang's cries outside, and turned back to her, "He took you away by force, and I was furious, but now I feel better. You should get some rest for a few days and talk less to him. I've been busy practicing for the past two days."
Nan Qiong Shuang laughed sarcastically: "You're too busy to take care of me, right? Don't forget, if you win——"
Li Xuanbai had already stepped onto the window frame, bent his body and went out, his high ponytail swaying, and waved at her: "Hey, remember, remember. I have always been..." He paused, and looked deeply at Gu Zhi, who happened to push the door into the yard, for a moment, then put on a look of contempt, rolled his eyes, and walked away.
When Heng Huang saw him come in, he felt as if he had been pardoned, crying and burrowing into his arms, "Brother Jin——"
Gu Zhi was silent for a moment, his expression unclear for a moment, and he dodged to the side with an expressionless face. It seemed that there was only her in his eyes, and he walked straight to her window.
Pleasant sound:
"Jiaojiao, what if he wins?"
Heng Huang cried and chased to Nan Qiong's frosted window, pulling his sleeve and complaining to her. Gu Zhi just looked at her tenderly through the window, and asked in a gentle voice, word by word:
"Jiaojiao...what if he wins?"
Nan Qiong Shuang couldn't help but take a half step back, hesitant: "He..." Seeing Heng Huang almost throwing himself on him and howling in pain, he thought to himself, "Miss Heng seems to have broken her wrist bone by him, come and take a look."
Gu Zhi's calm expression broke for a moment.
She still has the mind to care about others?
Heng Huang leaned against him, almost unwilling to use any strength, leaning against him weakly, crying loudly, "Brother Jin! Who is that man? How dare he come up to me like this?! You don't care about him? I just want to slap this bitch a few times, so what? Isn't that what she deserves?! Who am I? How dare he... How dare he...!"
"A few slaps?" Gu Zhi suddenly lowered his head and stared at her.
