LIGHTNOVELONLINE While Xia Liang was holding the jade pendant and Su Mei was staring at her hard to threaten her to give it back…
Bam!
The door was kicked open.
Then before Xia Liang even had time to react, she was already thrown into someone’s warm arms.
“Liang, are you all right?” Bai Yao looked quite worried while he saw the man in black on the ground.
“I’m fine.” Xia Ling looked up at him and frowned, “Su Mei…she…”
“General, General. You have to save me. Miss Xia is actually the princess of Eastern Liao. She sent that man to kill me because I found her secret. General, she just told me that she tried to get close to you only to kill you. She saved you earlier so that she could win your heart.
General, if you don’t believe me, look what it is in her hand. It was something that only belongs to the imperial family in Eastern Liao. It has imperial symbol on it. She tried to kill me as soon as I found this jade pendant. Please save me.”
Said Su Mei like it was real while sobbing piteously with sympathetic tears in her beautiful and ‘innocent’ eyes.
Xia Liang couldn’t believe that Su Mei would frame up her as the princess of Eastern Liao. If Bai Yao bought what she said…
it would be a big trouble!
According to the mission rules, she was not allowed to get rid of her by herself. The only way to kill her was to motivate someone else in the story to kill her. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so troublesome.
Bai Yao remained calm but his eyes were sharp and tough. He looked at the thing in Xia Liang’s hand and stretched his hand, hinting Xia Liang to give it to him.
“This belongs to Su Mei.” Xia Liang said while handing it to him, “Believe me. I won’t harm you. She is a liar!”
Bai Yao was smiling in the eyes but his facial expression was serious. He didn’t say anything but looked at the jade pendant. Then he nodded, “Yes. It indeed belongs to Eastern Liao.”
Su Mei was happy to hear that and thought Bai Yao bought what she said,
“You are very observant. Xia Liang is up for something really bad to get close to you without telling you who she really is. Luckily I get her exposed in time. You can’t let her go this time. She is here to kill you.”
Bai Yao tittered. Holding the jade in his hand, he approached Su Mei and clinched her neck, then lifted her up!
“Do you really take me as a fool?!”
“Ugh…Eh-hem…Ge…General…” Su Mei was terrified with gauging eyes. Her face turned purple because she was nearly choked out of breath.
“Hum!” Bai Yao snorted, “Even if she is the princess of Eastern Liao, so what? I like her, so I will never care about her background.”
Then Bai Yao threw Su Mei away to the corner of the room like a broken doll.
“Guards!” A few guards stormed in right after Bao Yao gave the order.
“Seize her and torture her till she confesses everything about herself.” Bai Yao ordered,.
“Yes!” The guards answered and arrested Su Mei right away.
“You can’t arrest me. You’ve got the wrong person. She is the princess. Let go of me! Let go!” Su Mei struggled and yelled.
The 9957 system announced then,
“Congratulations, Liang! Mission has been completed 80%!”
Xia Liang was relieved on hearing that and said honestly to Bai Yao who was walking to her, “Thank you for trusting me!”
Bai Yao sighed in his heart. He touched his face with a hand and said affectionately, “Xia Liang, I was being serious. I don’t mind your background as long as you are here with me.”
