Chapter 373 His Identity
Helian Yue looked at the person who had almost fallen asleep in his arms, and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He was afraid of touching her, so he was hesitant, but she didn't treat him as a stranger at all.
In other words, after he and she had talked it out, she truly gave her heart to him again, just like the first time she confirmed her feelings for him, and relied on him wholeheartedly.
Even though it's a little bit disgusting, but... after seeing how this person distanced herself from him, he still prefers the way she sticks to him.
His fingers gently stroked the strands of hair on her forehead. Helian Yue did not fall asleep immediately, and his mind was still thinking about what happened today.
From King Cheng, and then to Wu Lie, as he thought about it, his fingers still unconsciously stroked her forehead.
Even if Si Linglong was dead, she was brought back to life by his touch.
[Is Ah Yue hinting at me? ]
【Where is the pure sleep I promised? 】
Helian Yue paused for a moment, then continued to touch her head as usual.
Si Linglong was unsure of what Helian Yue meant, and couldn't help but squint to see what he was going to do. When she raised her eyes, she met Helian Yue's eyes, which were calm yet somewhat playful.
Si Linglong didn't say anything, just looked at him and waited for him to speak.
【Tell me, why don't you sleep? 】
Helian Yue found her tone like an old man in her heart funny, but he took the initiative to ask her, "Why don't you sleep?"
Si Linglong almost rolled her eyes at him.
[If I sleep any longer, you'll pull my hair out. ]
Si Linglong was still concerned about her image in front of him, so she only asked considerately, "Why aren't you sleeping, Ah Yue? Are you worried about something?"
Helian Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.
If I hadn't heard your heartbeat, I would have almost believed it.
"A little bit." Helian Yue followed her words, serious.
Si Linglong suddenly perked up.
[I actually guessed it right! ]
【I can talk! 】
Helian Yue felt a little unfamiliar when he heard the word "heart-to-heart talk". After all, being in his position, he seldom had the opportunity to talk to others. Most of the time, he was giving orders and flirting with those old foxes.
Originally he just wanted to tease her, but she looked at him so intently that Helian Yue was a little dazed for a moment.
After a long while, he just asked her, "Do you know Wu Lie's identity?"
Si Linglong blinked, not knowing how he brought up Wu Lie's identity.
[Isn't Wu Lie the leader of the Dark Guard Battalion? ]
[But Ah Yue specifically mentioned it. You can't be asking about this, because that would be asking about another identity.]
If it was before, Si Linglong would have to pretend to test it, but everyone has their own system and can be more sincere.
"If you're asking about his identity as the Seventh Prince of Beichen, I know."
Si Linglong spoke casually, having no idea how much of a commotion her answer would cause if others heard it.
The seventh prince of Beichen, whose real name is Baililie.
His biological mother was an unknown maid in the harem and the most inconspicuous prince of Emperor Beichen. Therefore, when he was five years old, he was sent to the Abyss as a hostage by Emperor Beichen and stayed there for eight years.
A hostage of another country, and a child, even if he was a prince, would only be degraded and trampled upon and humiliated in a foreign country. Later, when he died in a fire in the Great Abyss Palace at the age of thirteen, no one even took it seriously.
Later, Beichen went to war with Dayuan on the grounds that his prince had been murdered. When the two countries went to war, those who had bullied him turned around and scolded him, saying that he was still causing trouble for others even after his death.
And when he appeared in front of everyone again, he was Wu Lie, the most loyal leader of the Dark Guard Camp beside Helian Yue. He was wearing a half-face black and gold mask, looked like a ghost, and his methods were like Shura.
As Helian Yue listened to her recounting Wu Lie's past in her mind, his fingers vaguely played with the loose hair at her temples, gently rolling it up.
"Then you know that when he came to the Abyss as a proton, he met a secret friend."
Si Linglong blinked, looking a little confused.
The original novel did not give much description of Wu Lie's past as a proton, and only briefly mentioned it when his other identity was revealed. How would she know which friend he had made in the Abyss?
However...
He was saved by A Yue, and later followed A Yue under an assumed name as the leader of the Dark Guard Camp.
Si Linglong boldly guessed, "You?"
[Except Ayue, there is no one else. ]
Si Linglong was very determined.
Helian Yue's expression remained unchanged. His fingertips repeatedly entangled in her hair. He said in a low voice, "It's Concubine Quan."
