Chapter 431 Worthy of being Ayue

"Cough..." Helian Yue cleared his throat, trying to divert the attention away from the issue concerning the system.

After all, her system was real, and his was fiction.

"It's not the system." Helian Yue said, handing her the envelope he had just received.

Si Linglong reached out to take the small envelope somewhat puzzledly. When she saw the news about Bai Qianqian written inside, her almond-shaped eyes trembled in shock and she stood up suddenly.

【Bai Qianqian went to grab Xiang Tian in advance!!!】

Helian Yue frowned slightly as he looked at her feet stepping on the ground in only her socks, and reached out to push her back to the couch to sit down, "What are you doing so startled?"

"No, Ah Yue...how do you have this?"

Si Linglong felt as if she had suddenly gained a lot of life. "Did you know that Bai Qianqian had awakened her female consciousness?"

Helian Yue glanced at her, stretched out his hand to lift her feet onto his body and put them away, then he spoke, "I just arranged someone to watch her in Yutai Mountain in advance."

Knowing that Bai Qianqian is the heroine, Helian Yue naturally would not ignore her just because he hates her.

When he heard that she had sneaked away from Yutai Mountain, Helian Yue also guessed that she was going to do something naughty.

But when the dark guard reported back that she was going to a town to find an ordinary blacksmith, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Because Si Linglong has done similar things before.

Knowing a stranger, yet knowing everything about him or her.

It was as if I had already known the special position this person held in the plot.

Helian Yue was just guessing at first.

And now, his premonition has come true.

Si Linglong looked at Helian Yue and couldn't help but cheer for him in her heart.

【As expected of A Yue. 】

Unlike her, she can only rely on the system to confirm the news.

And she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the system had deliberately revealed this news to her as a prerequisite for the mission.

But at the moment she didn't have the energy to think about the system's performance. What she cared more about was that Bai Qianqian had contacted Xiang Tian in advance.

In the original novel, Xiang Tian is the heroine's right-hand man. Unlike the person Helian Tuo left for Bai Qianqian, Xiang Tian is a person who doesn't care about anyone except Bai Qianqian.

Because Bai Qianqian not only took him in when he was in the most difficult time, but also later helped him clear his name and reburied his adoptive parents with great honor.

In Xiang Tian's heart, Bai Qianqian is the only person in the world who is most important to him.

But when he officially appeared in front of the public, he was as a young eunuch...

It was this seemingly ordinary little eunuch who caused all those who dared to go against the heroine inside and outside the palace to fall into trouble.

Even Ah Yue’s death…

Si Linglong didn't want to recall that part of the plot. To her, what was more important now was that Bai Qianqian had already grasped Xiang Tian's knife in her hand in advance.

Just this way...

Si Linglong almost wanted to curse.

Although she didn't quite remember Xiang Tian's specific life experience in the original novel, the fact that someone could rely on him so wholeheartedly and devote himself to him must be because he had once touched a ray of light in the darkness.

Bai Qianqian was supposed to be that ray of light.

But now she has become the one who pushes him into the darkness, just for... getting him in advance.

According to what was written in the letter, Bai Qianqian plotted to make the son of the county chancellor an enemy of Xiang Tian and killed Xiang Tian's adoptive parents.

Including the time it took to send the letter back and forth, Xiang Tian might have already killed the county magistrate's son to avenge his parents.

And Bai Qianqian would lend a helping hand in time when he was arrested and take Xiang Tian's knife into her pocket.

But Xiang Tian’s adoptive parents were innocent and they could have survived.

Thinking of this, Si Linglong felt a blockage in her heart. When she looked up at Helian Yue, there was an emotion in her eyes that she couldn't even explain. It seemed that she was expecting something, but also that she was unwilling to give up.

"Ayue," she asked, "Are Xiang Tian's adoptive parents...really dead?"
