In such a complicated state of mind, Ling Tian's shadow had already been engraved in Xiao YanXue's heart. Back when she left Sky Bearing, she felt as though her heart was broken.
It was precisely because of this hazy concern in her heart, this poetic and dreamy feeling, that gave Xiao YanXue endless fanciful thoughts. That person should have been the husband that she was supposed to marry before she was born! Every time she thought about this, Xiao YanXue would feel extremely bitter in her heart. Endless sorrow and frustration would surround her. Of course, it was also these complicated thoughts that gave her the courage to leave her home after she found out about her family's decision!
All along, Xiao YanXue knew that she was the treasure of the Xiao family, and that she had contributed greatly to the family. Thus, her marriage should be in her own hands, and she had always been proud of this. This was because twelve years ago, when her grandfather, Xiao FengHan, discovered that Ling Tian was an irredeemable silkpants, he did not even care about the decades of brotherhood he had with the Ling family head, and resolutely annulled the marriage. This made Xiao YanXue feel that she was one of a kind. In the eyes of her grandfather, her happiness was the most important. Everything else was insignificant under this premise.
Xiao YanXue had never imagined that there would be a day when she would sacrifice herself for the family. Or more accurately, the family needed to sacrifice her in exchange for something. However, when she was under the pavilion and heard her two most doting grandfathers making the decision to use her marriage in exchange for the alliance between the DongFang Family and Eastern Zhao, Xiao YanXue went to her parents and cried. She stubbornly believed that her parents would definitely stand up for her. In the end, her mother told her that she would not suffer any grievances if she were to marry into the DongFang Family. Her father even told her that the family needed her to do this and she should be happy that she was able to contribute to the family!
She was in despair! She suddenly felt that she was so helpless in this home that she had grown up in and was so familiar with!
Am I just a tool? In the past, I was just a tool to earn money for the family. Now, I am just a tool to help the family alliance?!
Is my life going to end just like this?
What value do I have?!
If she had not seen Ling Tian and experienced his extraordinary abilities under his silkpants appearance, perhaps she would not have been so against her family's arrangements. However, after seeing such a talented man who could look down on his generation, how could the prideful Xiao YanXue be willing to give herself to such a mediocre person?
In the darkest moment of her life, during that sleepless night, she touched the Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet on her wrist. This was the heirloom of the Ling family and also the keepsake given to her by the Old Lady Ling. This was something that only the daughter-in-law of the Ling family could possess! The Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet sent her a cooling sensation at the right time, clearing her mind. At the same time, Ling Tian's face became clearer and clearer in her mind. Perhaps, in this world, he was the only one who could protect her? I have to find him! I have to find him!
Holding onto the last strand of hope in her heart, Xiao YanXue left her home in the middle of the night. Along the way, she disguised herself and sneaked towards Sky Bearing. However, before she reached Sky Bearing, she heard that Ling Tian was being pursued by the crown prince of the Northern Wei, Wei Chengping! This left her at a loss for what to do.
If Ling Tian was not in Sky Bearing, what was the point of her going there? According to the relationship between the Old Lady Ling's family and her grandfather, she would probably be sent back the moment she stepped foot into the Ling family. Besides, what could she say? Was she supposed to say that she liked Ling Tian and wanted to marry Ling Tian? Even if the engagement was not annulled, it would be illogical for her to do so!
In the entire Ling family, perhaps Ling Tian was the only one who did not place her grandfather in his eyes. Or perhaps, in the entire world, there was no one who could be placed in the eyes of that young noble Ling Tian! Only he would be able to disregard the winds and clouds in the sky and do as he pleased!
Xiao YanXue waited patiently for a few more days. Finally, through various means and risking her identity being exposed, she found out that Ling Tian was possibly heading towards Bright Jade City from the Xiao family's spies. While she did not know why Ling Tian wanted to go to such a dangerous place, Xiao YanXue still came to Bright Jade City without any hesitation!
The time Xiao YanXue entered the city was only four hours earlier than Ling Tian. How could Xiao YanXue have known that on the day she arrived, so many things would happen in Bright Jade City? It caused Tamago to act like a gambler who had lost all his money. The entire city was under lockdown and searches were carried out. Killing people was a common occurrence. Xiao YanXue was found in an inn and fled all the way here. She was finally captured and almost humiliated.
Just when she was in the depths of despair and felt that there was nothing left to live for, she was unexpectedly saved by someone. And the person who saved her was the person she had traveled thousands of miles to find!
He was safe and sound, and it was him who saved the most helpless her! He saved her once again!
Suddenly, from great sorrow to great joy, from extreme despair to absolute relief, Xiao YanXue finally could not bear the emotional rollercoaster and fainted!
But even though she was unconscious, she still felt at ease and blissful. Because, Xiao YanXue clearly remembered that in the end, she was in his embrace …
Thank the heavens for their arrangement!
The fate between a person and another person was just so miraculous!
A good night's sleep!
Xiao YanXue slowly woke up, feeling unusually full of energy. For a moment, she found herself lying on a warm bed. The warm sunlight shone in through the window and just happened to sprinkle on her body. It was warm and indescribably comfortable. Looking at her body, her clothes were still neatly on her body. Her torn collar was also covered. Seeing this, Xiao YanXue's face flushed red. He … he … didn't he see my body? Did he take advantage of me?
After going through such a dangerous situation where a woman's reputation was more important than her life, Xiao YanXue's reaction was completely different from an ordinary woman. Unexpectedly, she did not have the slightest trace of lingering fear. She only let out a long, deep sigh, sat up, hugged her knees with both hands, and gently stroked the 'Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet' on her wrist. Her face revealed a pensive expression, sometimes happy, sometimes worried, and sometimes embarrassed. It was unknown what she had thought of, but her face suddenly flushed red. With a moan, she turned over, and her entire body burrowed under the blanket, deeply burying the wrist with the 'Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet' in her bosom.
With a creak, the wooden door opened and a person walked in. Following that, Ling Tian's voice rang out, "You're awake? Are you feeling well? "
Her head under the blanket moved, but she did not make a sound. Her other hand, which was exposed outside the blanket, suddenly clenched and a faint red color appeared on it.
Ling Tian coughed and said, "I know Miss has suffered a great shock. But in such hot weather, it's better for Miss Xiao not to cover for too long. If you get heat rashes and bedsores, it won't be pretty."
"It's none of your business!" Under the blanket, Xiao YanXue's muffled voice was filled with embarrassment. Only then did the little girl realize an important problem. She was a nameless person, yet she had traveled thousands of miles just to find him. This … this … this … what kind of identity should she use to face him? How would he view her? What should she do in the future?
Thinking of these questions, Xiao YanXue felt her entire body heat up with embarrassment. Furthermore, he had also run out of his house in a fit of anger that day. What would have happened to him then? How would she face her family in the future? Before meeting Ling Tian, Xiao YanXue only wanted to find Ling Tian. As long as she could confirm that he was safe and sound, she would be satisfied. But now that her wish had been fulfilled, she could not help but think of the troubles in the future. Her heart could not help but sink.
With a 'hu' sound, Ling Tian pulled the blanket off her head. Xiao YanXue let out a shriek as she tugged at the corner of the blanket. However, she heard Ling Tian say, "If Miss Xiao did not disguise herself, you would naturally be an outstanding beauty. But now that it's pitch black, are you still afraid of looking?"
Xiao YanXue snorted and secretly raised her eyes to glance at him. She said, "Young Master Ling has countless beauties by his side. YanXue's looks are naturally not in Young Master Ling's eyes."
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment. He laughed and said, "I thought that when I came today, even if a certain someone would not kneel three times and kowtow nine times to thank me for saving her life, she would at least treat me with respect. Who would have thought that she would come with a spear. Miss Xiao is indeed valiant. This is really beyond my expectations. Admirable, admirable. Xiao family's upbringing is indeed unique. "
Xiao YanXue's face turned red. She knew that she was in the wrong. But thinking of her concern for this' bad person ', she could not help but rudely say, "What does the Xiao family's upbringing have to do with you?" After saying this, she suddenly thought of the decision her family had made for her. She could not help but feel her heart ache and tears fell.
Ling Tian did not know what the beauty was thinking. He shook his head slightly and picked up a bowl of water on the table. He handed it to her and said softly, "Did something happen to the Xiao family?"
Just this one sentence, but Ling Tian's attitude towards Xiao YanXue was a rare gentleness. It was this rare attitude that made Xiao YanXue's heart full of grievances seem to have found a channel to vent. She could not help but cry. First she softly choked, then she cried softly. Finally, she directly put down the bowl and threw herself into Ling Tian's arms, crying loudly.
While crying, she intermittently explained the cause of the matter. By the time she finished, her tears had already flowed down from Ling Tian's chest to his trousers …
Ling Tian let out a long sigh. This is another big problem! The Xiao family's matters have actually come to me! Do you think I'm not messy enough?
