<span>Chapter 39: His return part 2


    <span>While they were on their way back, they encountered Long Xiao Yu, who they


    <span>hadn’t seen for a few days.


    <span>Currently, he was also walking towards them. He was wearing white robes which


    <span>floated in the wind. His dark, cold eyes were strategist, as if everything was in


    <span>his control. The first feeling he gave people was fear, and then they would


    <span>unknowingly surrender under his feet.


    <span>Uncle Fu was carefully following him. His head was lowered, and he seemed to be


    saying something. Mu Zi Ling felt that something was wrong. Was Uncle Fu


    <span>exposing everything that she did?


    <span>When Mu Zi Ling and the other two saw Long Xiao Yu, they all stiffened on the


    <span>spot, not daring to keep walking. Long Xiao Yu then stopped in front of them.


    <span>The atmosphere was unnerving, and their surroundings were cold and terrifying.


    <span>Long Xiao Ze couldn’t stand it any longer and broke the silence first by saying,


    <span>“Third Brother, you’ve returned.”


    <span>Long Xiao Yu did not reply him, but instead red at him. Then coldly, he said,


    <span>“All of you can leave.”


    <span>Once he opened his mouth, everyone around him couldn’t help but tremble. It


    <span>seemed like something big was about to happen. He did not say anyone


    <span>specifically, neither did he point to anyone specifically. However, everyone knew


    <span>who Long Xiao Yu was telling to leave.


    <span>Long Xiao Ze felt even more scared. Every time his Third Brother was like this, he


    <span>knew that his good days were over.


    <span>This time he was in trouble. However, in the past few days, he had been helping


    <span>his Third Sister inw obediently and didn’t do anything wrong.


    <span>Long Xiao Ze didn’t dare think anymore into it. Since Third Brother had already


    <span>said this, then he would just take the chance and run. Before he ran away though,


    <span>he didn’t forget to tap Xie’s shoulder and leave with her.


    <span>Xie looked at Mu Zi Ling with concern. She wanted to say something, but she


    <span>wasn''t able to under such a high pressure. She could only leave resentfully with


    <span>Long Xiao Ze.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling looked as the two retreated, and her anger started to boil up.


    <span>Damn it, Long Xiao Ze! Last time when they were in front of Long Xiao Li, he was


    <span>still brave enough to protect her. Why did he run away now, the second Long Xiao


    <span>Yu started to speak? Long Xiao Ze ran away faster than a rabbit without any bits


    <span>of courage. Her heart felt touched for no reasonst time.


    <span>Long Xiao Ze only coldly spoke to Mu Xi Ling once they had all left, “Mu Zi Ling,


    <span>did you forget your identity? This King wanted you to look through the ounting


    <span>books and stay indoors unless there is something important. Why are you out here


    <span>today?”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling had only just recovered to her senses from staring off in the direction


    <span>that Long Xiao Ze and Xie had ran off to. Her heart thumped a bit, and she quietly


    <span>murmured to herself. <span>Uncle Fu really wasining and exposing me just then.


    <span>However, Mu Zi Ling had really misunderstood Uncle Fu today. Uncle Fu was just


    <span>telling Long Xiao Ze about how good she was, being able to look through so many


    <span>ount books in just one day. He also said that the way shebeled out the


    <span>mistakes was really clear, and saved people a lot of work. He did not say anything


    <span>about her leaving the manor.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling felt a bit ufortable once she heard Long Xiao Yu’s words. Was


    <span>Long Xiao Yu trying to say that she did not watch over the house, going outside


    <span>everyday with her title, and losing the Qi King’s Manor’s face?


    <span>“Your highness only said for this wife to stay in the manor if there was nothing to


    <span>do, but this wife had something to do. This wife has also finished looking through


    <span>all the ounting books and handed them to Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu has also looked


    <span>through them and checked them. This wife still has her own life, and her own


    <span>matters to take care of. Your highness can be rest assured. As long as this wife is


    <span>from the Qi King’s Manor, I would not let the manor’s reputation drop.”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling’s words were righteous, and her face was serious. She wasn’t


    <span>intimidated by Long Xiao Yu’s coldness at all.


    <span>Although she was still a bit afraid in her heart, her strong reasoning told her to not


    <span>surrender.


    <span>Although she wasn’t a woman from this time period, she was holding up the title of


    <span>Qi Princess, so she must get used to not leaving the manor, not doing anything,


    <span>and be raised by men.


    <span>She was open hearted and didn’t do anything that she should be guilty about.


    <span>Why should she feel scared?


    <span>Long Xiao Yu’s cold eyes stared at Mu Zi Ling, but they couldn’t find anything wrong.


    <span>Seeing that Long Xiao Yu’s expression did not change, Mu Zi Ling continued to


    <span>speak, “There were so many big things happening in the Royal Pce right now,


    <span>and this Qie does not have the ability to take up such an responsibility. I hope your


    <span>highness can find someone more suitable for these matters. Also thepensation


    <span>for the Fifth Prince does not have to be so much. This wife has already took eighty


    <span>thousand gold from the it. If your highness thought that this wife took too much from


    <span>\it, then this wife will repay the money.


    <span>After she finished talking, she took out a jade pendant from her sleeves, and handed


    <span>it to Long Xiao Yu. However, when she looked at Long Xiao Yu, his face was very


    <span>cold and terrifying.


    <span>She really didn’t want to feel scared, but she still subconsciously wanted to shrink


    <span>back. She could feel that the hands she had reached out, holding the keys and the


    <span>jade pendant, were now sweating.


    <span>Long Xiao Yu didn’t grab the keys nor the jade pendant, instead, he walked closer to


    <span>Mu Zi Ling step by step. With every step he took forward, she took a step backwards.


    <span>At this moment, Mu Zi Ling felt Long Xiao Yu omit a very dangerous aura. It was as


    <span>if he could swallow her whole.


    <span>Just as Mu Zi Ling’s foot hit the flower terrace, nearly making her fall backwards,


    <span>Long Xiao Yu pulled her towards him. He stretched out his long arms, and he locked


    <span>Mu Zi Ling tightly into his embrace.


    <span>He leaned on Mu Zi Ling and pressed close to her ears. He warm breathnded onto


    <span>her ears. There was an intense oppression, boiling hot atmosphere, and extreme


    <span>might.


    <span>His cold voice then said, “Mu Zi Ling, remember this. Ever since the day you married


    <span>this King, you were no longer you, and your way of life changed. This King does not


    <span>care if you don’t stop your matters, but everything that this King gives out, is never to


    <span>be returned back to me.”


    <span>Long Xiao Yu’s cold tone and aura was like a hot electric bolt, striking Mu Zi Ling’s


    <span>heart.


    <span>At this moment, how could she still be calm and have reasoning? Every since Long


    <span>Xiao Yu got close to her, she had already copsed. What did Long Xiao Yu’s words


    <span>mean?


    <span>Just when Mu Zi Ling was recovering to her senses, and wanted to push Long Xiao


    <span>Ze away, he beat her to it and let go. Then he leaped into the air and flew away.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling looked into the distance where Long Xiao Yu disappeared off to for a while.


    <span>Why was it that every time she bumped into Long Xiao Yu, it was in this type of


    <span>circumstance? Couldn’t they just properly have a conversation for once? Why was


    <span>it that every time he treated her like that, her heart felt exceptionally unwell?


    <span>What did Long Xiao Yu’s words mean? Did he want her to be a puppet he could


    <span>control? Sorry, but she would not let people control her so easily!
