Evil Emperor’s Wild Consort

“Then, who are you interested in?” Zixie curled his lips into half a smile. “Qianbei Ye? I’ve told you before, that guy is not a decent person, so you’d better stay away from him.”

“Zixie.” Gu Ruoyun’s smile faded bit by bit. Her pretty and delicate face was wrapped in the afterglow of the setting sun. “I didn’t know him for very long, but I was the first person that he met. Now that he’s lost all his memories, no matter what mistake he made in the past, he cannot remember them now.”

“I don’t care if he’s a god or a demon. Even though he had easily ended a person’s life just now, he did it to protect me. I believe that his protectiveness of me does not contain any impure thoughts. It’s likely because I’m the only one who he knows here! That’s right, I don’t know him well enough, I don’t even know about his past, I have even been betrayed and hurt before! But this does not mean that I will never believe in anyone ever again. No matter if it’s Xiao Ye, Luo Yin, you, or that big brother of mine whom I have never met, if any of you are in trouble, I won’t sit idly.”

Perhaps in the past, Qianbei Ye had committed a grave mistake. However, today he was but an innocent child to her. It was true that his memories were sealed. A person who had lost all his memories would naturally take the first person he sees as his mother.

It was also precisely because Xiao Ye had no memories that Gu Ruoyun believed in him. Or else, she would not have gotten close to this man…

“ZIxie, I have failed to protect my mother before. I couldn’t even protect my little brother whom I love. In this life, I will not make the same mistakes. It’s because I have lost them once that I now cherish the people around me even more.”

The maiden lifted her face. A determined glow appeared on her beautiful and delicate face which had the innocence of a child.

That glow seemed to have moved Zixie’s heart. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. Just when he was about to speak, a stern look flashed across his purple eyes.

“Someone’s coming.”

His voice had barely faded when he turned into a purple glow and disappeared from the backyard…

Gu Ruoyun arched her eyebrows slightly. She raised her head and saw that Elder Yu was walking towards her with hurried footsteps.

“My Lady, Leng Yanfeng has come. He wants to see you. Look at this…”

“Leng Yanfeng?” Gu Ruoyun was stunned. “The Crown Prince of Azure Dragon Country, the disciple of the Weapon Refining Sect? What does he want from me?’

“I am not sure.” Elder Yu shook his head. “My Lady, will you see him? If you do not wish to, I’ll go and decline.”

“No need,” Gu Ruoyun snorted, “I would like to see what business does this Leng Yanfeng have with me! We don’t have the slightest of ties, so what does he want from me now?”

…

At that moment, in the Hundred Herb Hall, Leng Yanfeng raised his teacup and sipped some tea. His face was as cold as an iceberg. Even when he saw Elder Yu bringing Gu Ruoyun forward, his pair of cold eyes did not change in the slightest.

“I am only a nobody. I wonder what business does Your Royal Highness have with me? Could it be that Your Royal Highness was thirsty and there was no good tea in your abode, that’s why you came here to look for me on the pretense of a cup of tea?”

It was common knowledge that the teas of Hundred Herb Hall were all rare medicinal tea. If anybody else was insulted as such by Gu Ruoyun, they would have been angered. But not Leng Yanfeng. His expression did not change, his handsome face cold.
