Chapter 628: She Stole Something Of Mine



Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio


The young man looked like he had just woken up. He was in a furry sleeping robe and his black hair was disheveled. He took a sip of tea and gazed at Nangong Lie who was standing before him, his narrow eyes as clear as a spring. He did not even give a single thought before giving him a kick.


Of course, he did not kick him for real.


Or else Nangong Lie would not be able to dodge it.


But this action alone was enough to make Nangong Lie cry out loud, “Ah Jue, how could you! Is this how you treat your brothers!”


“Sorry, I wasn’t fully awake yet,” the young man said in a deep voice, looking down lazily at the man who was lying on the ground.


Nangong Lie was speechless.


Not fully awake yet?


The coldness in your eyes almost froze me to death, yet you said that you were not awake yet? I’m not a fool you can lie to!


“Ah Jue, we’ve known each other for seven years.” Nangong Lie knew that he could not beat him so he started flashing the friendship card, “It’s been seven years. How many seven years does one have? You can’t do this to me! You have to let me know the truth before I die!”


Baili Jia Jue looked at him and smiled slowly, yet there was no laughter in his eyes, “You look like you’re quite close with the person that I sent to you.”


Nangong Lie was smart, he shook his head immediately to save himself, “No, no, no! What you saw was just the outer appearance! In fact, we are not really close, not at all!”


“Why did you give her flowers?” The young man sounded a little indifferent.


But Nangong Lie noticed that his left fist was clenched tightly, so he started to clear his name, “That was because I wanted to thank her, it was her idea to give flowers. I was originally planning to give the flower to someone else.”


“Do you mean Qing Zhan?” The young man said calmly, gazing back at him. The resentment that had been on his chest for so long finally faded a little.


However, Nangong Lie looked like he had seen a ghost, “How, how did you know?”


The young man snickered schemingly, “It’s been seven years. Of course I have to be concerned about my only brother.”


Nangong Lie, “…”


Damn it!


I don’t need your concern at all!


Don’t tell me that you were the one who talked bad about me to Little Qing Zhan!


These thoughts crossed Nangong Lie’s mind, and his handsome face was filled with grief, “What are you trying to do? Please get to the point.”


“Nothing.” The young man continued to give him some clues, “I noticed that you have been so carefree for the past two days, going out of the palace to pick flowers and whatnot. So I figured you might prefer some excitement in your life.”


Shadow, who was standing outside the door, raised his head in silence, …I bet nobody would like this kind of excitement.


On the contrary, Nangong Lie did not assort to self-pity, instead, he put two and two together. All of a sudden, an evil grin appeared on his face and he placed his hand on the young man’s shoulder, “Ah Jue, you should have told me earlier. If I had known that you’ve fallen in love, I could have lent you a helping hand a long time ago.”


The young man gave him a sideways glance, his gaze casually sweeping over his hand.


Nangong Lie felt chills all over his scalp, so he drew his hand back immediately.


The young man brushed his clothes, spoke in a noble and virtuous voice, “Don’t think too much, that woman has rubbed me the wrong way, that’s all.”



“Speaking of which, what is going on between you and that woman?” There was a certain playfulness in Nangong Lie’s eyes, “She doesn’t tell me anything no matter how I ask her.”


The young man raised his head and gave him a look, speaking unhurriedly, “She had stolen something from me. I’ve been searching for her for eight years just to get it back.”


Nangong Lie furrowed his bushy eyebrows. Thief? That woman doesn’t look like a thief.


Instead, there was something that bothered him a lot.


That woman’s appearance… was too similar to the young lady from the Helian family.


There must be more to that.


Nangong Lie’s eyes were bright, he then spoke carelessly, “Since she is a thief, we could just chop her limbs off and throw her out of the palace. If that’s not enough, you could just kill her. You could even torture her in any way, as long as you can vent your anger. You haven’t made a move for so long, it doesn’t seem like you. When I get back, I’ll throw her out and then you can figure out what you want to do.”


The young man remained silent.


Nangong Lie knew that he had agreed.


However, he did not think that Ah Jue would do anything to that woman.


If he really detested her, there were many ways to make a person disappear in the palace. Besides, Ah Jue’s status was so high that he could just kill someone with a single word.


But the expression on Ah Jue’s face did not seem like he was lying.


After all, he even mentioned the eight years specifically…


“Since there’s a way to settle this problem, shouldn’t you settle the matter with Little Qing Zhan as well? She turns on her heel and walks away whenever she sees me!” Nangong Lie was in a very bad mood upon mentioning this!


The young man was somewhat inattentive and ordered Shadow to call Qing Zhan over.


Nangong Lie, with his young master style, surely would not show up to this kind of occasion. He hid behind the screen and strained his ears to listen to the situation outside.


The young man’s voice was husky and graceful as usual. He spoke unhurriedly, “Qing Zhan, I’ve heard about the incident that happened this afternoon. It seems like you have some misunderstandings about Young Master Lie.”


“No.” Qing Zhan’s expression was serious, looking tender and naive, “Your Highness, I’ve seen how Young Master Lie usually behaves. He gets into conversations with beautiful ladies whenever he meets them, and this is no longer a secret in the palace. I know you’re on good terms with Young Master Lie that you just don’t have the heart to badmouth him. It is his good fortune to have such a good friend like Your Highness.”


Nangong Lie, who was hiding behind the screen, felt like he had just taken a knife to his knees, and he had an upset look on his face.


Shadow, who was clear about the whole situation, was trying so hard to control his laughter.


Only the young man was calm and unruffled, “Actually he has many good qualities.”


“Your Highness, do not worry. With you here, I will serve Young Master Lie well!” Qing Zhan promised. She was loyal and devoted even at a young age.


But Nangong Lie was very unhappy. He looked at the young man dejectedly after Qing Zhan left.


The young man said frankly, “I’ve tried my best. How was I supposed to know that you have the habit of getting into conversations with beautiful ladies on a daily basis?”


Nangong Lie remained silent. I’m regretting that now, okay!


“Alright, Qing Zhan will return to you in the future. Three years should be enough time to change her impression of you, right?” The young man massaged his forehead and spoke tiredly, “Shouldn’t you be off to carry out your task now?”


Nangong Lie was still wallowing in his sorrows. When he went back to the Holy Worship Temple and saw Helian Wei Wei, the first thing he asked her was, “Did you take anything from Ah Jue back then?”


“No.” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and asked languidly, “Why would you say that?”


Nangong Lie leaned slightly against the doorframe with an evil expression on his face, “I was at his place just now. He said that you had stolen something from him eight years ago and he had been searching for you for these eight years. He has finally caught you now, do you think that he would let you go? Oh dear, pray for yourself. I can only give you so many hints. Think about it. Perhaps you’ve taken something that is important to Ah Jue but you’re not aware of it.”


Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes and gave it a thought. Eventually, she shook her head.


“Then there’s nothing I can do anymore, you may leave now…”
