As it had turned out, it was Situ Yan who had brought the Zhanlu Sword over. However, just as he reached the doorway, the Zahnlu Sword flew towards the Lingshe Sword like it had received some sort of response. Together, the two swords endlessly danced in the air.
Seeing the two swords twisting and twining around each other in midair, Situ Xin glared at Situ Yan. âStinky brat, are you once again living off one person while secretly helping another[1]?â Judging by his walking posture, Situ Xin figured that Situ Yan must have regained feeling in his legs, otherwise, he would not have been able to run back so quickly, especially while carrying the Zhanlu Sword.
Situ Yan raised his head, feeling wrong as he said, âIt was grandpa who had taught me. He even told me that the Zhanlu Sword and the Lingshe Swords were originally couple swords.â
âAh!â Situ Xinâs heart crumbled into pieces. Her old man and son had unexpectedly colluded together with an outsider to bully her. The more she thought about it, the more broken-hearted she was. She then suddenly fell upon the table and sobbed spasmodically.
Situ Yan could only helplessly glance at Xiao Yixuan and use his eyes to silently message, âThere is nothing I can also do about this. Iâll leave it to you now.â After conveying his message, he hurriedly slipped away. There really was nothing he could do. He had always been helpless against this move his mother made. So long as his mother started to cry, he could only obediently surrender and listen to her.
Looking at his son stealthily slipping away and the woman lying on the table crying, Xiao Yixuan temple started to ache dully. He came across his lifeâs two most greatest natural enemies. Pulling up the crying Situ Xin, he used his large hand to console her by wiping off the tears on her face. âDonât cry anymore, Yanâer was only being a little bit naughty.â He really needed to re-examine what Yanâer had said. According to this situation, it appeared as if Yanâer was too naughty and mischievous, which is why Xinâer temperament came to be so explosive. Moreover, he was also not happy seeing Xinâer crying.
âItâs all your fault. Itâs all because of you!â A white fist fiercely struck into the pit of Xiao Yixuanâs stomach, but it seemed as if it did not do anything to help vent her anger.
Itâs all because of this hateful man that incited her son to change sides.
Xiao Yixuan could only helpless stand there, allowing Situ Xin vent out her anger. In this current world, there wasnât anyone who dared to do such a thing to him. Even the emperor was no exception. How noisy! Lowering his head, he covered up the small mouth that kept jabbering on and on.
Situ Xin bashfully pushed away Xiao Yixuan. âWa-Why did you kiss me?â This man, how could he do such an act like this?
âBecause I could not think of any other way to stop you from crying.â Xiao Yixuan smiled faintly. That kiss was truly wonderful, and it seemed like he was addicted to it, wanting to stop but couldnât [2].
Still in a daze like state, Situ Xin woodenly and slowly replied back, âTalk about what?â Just now, it seemed like she did not really dislike that kiss. It was just like six years ago, and she was a little bit unable to restrain her emotions.
âI want to let you and Yanâer remain here.â Perhaps, this was the best solution.
Stay here? Is he saying that she should also stay here too?
âWhy do I also have to stay here?â Opening her eyes wide, Situ Xin started at Xiao Yixuan, who had a serious expression on his face.
The corner of Xiao Yixuanâs mouth accidently drew together into a careless smirk. âFor Yanâers sake, we should try to get to know each other for a short period of time. How does that sound?â
His voice was so rich and magnetic that she couldnât help but be attracted by it. Shaking her head, Situ Xin attempted to clear her head. âWhat if we cannot get to know each other?â
âThatâs impossible. Believe me.â Reaching out his hand, he supported her constantly swaying head upright, causing her to look straight into his own eyes.
He had such beautiful eyes that were so penetrating that they were like a whirlpool. It seemed like it could absorb people into them at any time. She could not help but reach out her hand and trace from the glabella [3] towards his eyes. âOh! IâŠâ As her hand brushed past his lips, she discovered Xiao Yixuan was looking at her profoundly. Hastily withdrawing her hand, she endlessly cursed inside her heart, âHow humiliating.â
Grabbing onto that hand that wanted to draw back, he said, âThen, itâs been decided.â Lightly brushing past Situ Xinâs forehead, he walked out.
Situ Xin, who did not know what to do [4] for a long time, finally regained her consciousness. âWhat do you mean that itsâ been decided? Have I agreed yet?â So infuriating! She continuously kicked a bunch of objects in the room, but sadly, the room was absolutely empty and had no one inside to respond to her.
