Biên tập viên: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Looking at the back of the departing sixth prince, everyone heaved sighs of relief in their heads.
The truth was, from the beginning to the end, other than Lu Jiu Que, the sixth prince didn't look anyone straight in the eyes.
It was as though in his eyes, they were all trash.
The sixth prince was completely different from the sixth prince of before. He was so arrogant, so wanton, so cold, but still, there wasn't anyone who would find him detestable. On the contrary, they were all deeply captivated by him.
This was someone born to be king, an undisputed supreme being!
Every living thing could only grovel at his feet as they looked up, worshipped, sang, and prayed to him.
This man was godly yet devilish. Could he really be their sixth prince?
If someone had turned around to look at Shao Qingrou at this point in time, they would have realized that her eyes looked fanatical, hot and crazy. It was almost like she had been possessed.
When the fear dissipated from their hearts, the pain returned with a vengeance. The crowd twisted and squirmed about as they began to struggle again.
"Ah… So painful…"
"Damn it. Help, help…"
"Why is it still hurting…? Damn it… When is this wait going to end?"
...
Since Lu Jiu Que had made her move, how could she relieve them of their pain so easily?
By the time Ye Hui returned with someone to save them, the crowd was rolling all over the ground in pain. The empire had also sent a medicinal pill master to administer treatment, but there was no effect at all.
Coupled with Shao Qingrou's abnormal behavior previously, everyone assumed that they had been poisoned by some toxin. There were even people speculating that this was a countermeasure taken by other countries due to a malicious rivalry.
For a moment, all the young men of the Qing Yan Empire who were there for the test were in a state of panic.
The true mastermind behind everything, Lu Jiu Que, was looking an old lady standing in front of her. The old lady was speechless, wearing an embarrassed and helpless look, and she was crying like the world was coming to an end.
This petite and thin old lady donned a green shirt made of coarse cloth. Her snow-white hair was tied up with the simplest piece of cloth, while wrinkles spanned all over her face. However, her eyes didn't reflect any pain. On the contrary, they were glowing with rays of love. It was just that the howling wails were somewhat unbearable.
"Ah, wah, wah… Missy, you must never, ever roam around again… If you get into another accident, the Lu family is really going to come to an end… How do you expect me, your old servant, to face all the masters of the Lu family? If that's the case, I think it's better if your old servant just died to atone for all her sins right now…
"Oh Missy… I beg of you. You must, must take good care of yourself…
"Missy… Wah, wah, wah…"
As she spoke, the old lady firmly held Lu Jiu Que's hands in hers in a deadly grip. The strength of her hands was amazing, as if it could snap Lu Jiu Que's hands in two.
Through her hands, the undermentioned fear that the old lady was feeling was also passed on to Lu Jiu Que, so there was no way Lu Jiu Que could bring herself to brush away the old lady's hands.
This old lady was Aunt Chang, the most trusted and reliable person in the original host's memory.
Without Aunt Chang's protection, Lu Jiu Que would have long been dead.
Similarly, Lu Jiu Que was also a companion whom Aunt Chang depended on. She was also a close relative of Aunt Chang.
Slowly, various images of the past that these two people shared came to mind. It was as if Lu Jiu Que was personally experiencing everything.
Lu Jiu Que shook Aunt Chang's hands and comforted her, "Aunt Chang, I'm alright, aren't I? Why don't I take a bath first, okay?"
This time, Aunt Chang suddenly slapped her hand on her head and said, "How could I have forgotten this matter? Missy, you should hurry along while Aunt Chang will go prepare a delicious meal for you. At tomorrow's test, our Missy will certainly be amazing! I'm telling you, I'm certain…"
With that, the petite and thin body started to busy herself with her task as she continued to ramble. Her cheerful look caused Lu Jiu Que to fall into a trance for a moment.
Was this how it felt to have a family?
No matter how much her aunt nagged, Lu Jiu Que was never annoyed. Instead, she felt unexpectedly at ease.
