Book 1: Winds Begin to Blow in Tai Yuan
Chapter 17 - Plotting to Destroy Profound Origin
”Ahh!”
A woh the stillness of the
dark night The screa the somber
sky apart into fragments like a bloodstained knife
With a loud banging and clattering sound, inside a heavily
curtained, incense-scented chamber full of splendor, an exquisite mirror carved
with eight lotus floas heavily thrown onto the floor, the surface
splitting into several cracks
On the fragmented mirror surface was reflected a
crescent-browed, straight-nosed countenance of attractive fairness;
unfortunately, it had two bone-deep wounds in it, savagely intersecting and
carved into her glossy skin
The beauty of her face and the hideousness of her injuries
shockingly clashed, causing one to sigh at the imperfect nature of the world
A crowd of respectfully waiting ed up like the
tide Under the ferociously vicious gaze of the person in the mirror, they were
forced to bow even lower, and then retreated again like the tide
Pei Yuan swayed like she was about to fall Supporting
herself in front of the dressing table, her one hand shook while braced on the
table surface Even after desperately biting her lips, she still could not
repress the shi+vering throughout her whole body
Overit was all over
The appearance she was so proud of, the extreme beauty she
used to distinguish herself in the Tai Yuan royal family, was completely
destroyed by a randoht
From now on, she would descend to become Tai Yuan royal
fastock From now on, all those imperial sisters whose
appearances were unable to be compared to hers and were held in disdain by her,
would use the ly comfort
her
Just thinking of those seely warm, but in reality bitter
and cold co into an ice pit,
and want to go insane!
”Get out! All of you scram!”
The chamber was quickly cleared of people The curtains
lifted by the flow of exiting people, lightly floated back down
Glireen jade lamps, shone
on the drapes, and illuure that had bonelessly
collapsed onto the ground near the dressing table
The figure's thin shoulders unceasingly shook Faint
whi like a never-awakening nightmare
The half-openinbreeze,
which leisurely swirled inside the chamber Inside the wind's sounds, there
faintly traveled an extre
Quiet, yet sharp, like the grinding of steel wool, or like
icicles on the sulaciers, the whispers held icy
harshness as well as never-ending killing intent and hatred
”If I ever find out who you areneed to killwill not rest until you die ” ---------------
That sharp scream
pierced through the quiet of the Profound Origin sect village like a drill
Everyone heard it, and everyone had different reactions to it
Qi Xunyi's eyes were deep and mysterious He turned his
plans and calculations over and over again, all kinds of conjectures running
through his , was any sort of pity towards his
cousin's tragic situation
Zong Yue clasped his hands while standing in front of the
, facing the boundless darkness The eyes he used to stare into the void
were not empty, but instead seemed rooted in reality It was as if he could see
beyond thedestiny of
human life
After hearing that piercing scream, he slowly raised his
hand, then esture
Strangely, in his eyes, there also was no pity to be found
Far away, on a remote mountain peak, a wide sleeve robed man
leisurely leaned against a boulder Playing with a mysterious and eccentric
in sect underneath
On his knee crouched Master Yuanbao, whose white fur gently
swayed in the hile it also looked in the same direction as his master,
into the darkness in front
Its gaze was heavy, and its mood was very solemn It had
already acco for almost an hour
But it actually couldn't see
Yuan Zhaoxu tilted his head and looked with annoyance at his
pet who liked to pretend Suddenly, he stood up
Master Yuanbao iround,
with its four li the sky
Its htly chuckled ”How foolish”
Master Yuanbao used its two claws to grasp the earth, ready
to cry
Unexpectedly, hisabout Qi Xunyi”
Master Yuanbao's shattered glass heart instantly repaired
itself
Fro over
like a gust of wind Airl's crisp voice was
heard
”Aha, that piercing noise just noas at a high
decibel level, very suitable for soprano singing”
A dai colored
shadow flashed Meng Fuyao cli
doith a plop Gri her knee, she resentfully said,
”That guy was pretty strong, I had to use my best efforts to only barelyhit the tree I didn't even feel anything, yi ya,
only nohen I' do I feel the pain”
After a pause she then said, ”This person's origins,
and Pei family's status, seem to be pretty powerful huh”
Yuan Zhaoxu leaned on the boulder while feeding Yuanbao some
fruits Yuanbao had already forgotten the bitterness of being bullied a while
ago, and opened itsMeng Fuyao's question, Yuan Zhaoxu smiled and replied with another question
”You've been co for half a day, is it because you want me to
personally , the hand that was lowering
the food slowed Yuanbao i Fuyao
Fuyao stared back with disdain, then glanced at Yuan Zhaoxu
with a uy's belly,
looks like it can't digest all of the food It would be unfortunate if it died
of overeating”
Yuanbao i
Fuyao didn't even bother with it Yuan Zhaoxu s out a
piece of cloth to wipe his hands he said, ”Royalty”
Fuyao's eyes focused, and her tone became more serious
”Royalty?”
Lights swirled brilliantly in Yuan Zhaoxu's eyes Laughingly
he replied, ”Regretful?”
Meng Fuyao's long eyebrows jumped up, and the side of herstraight
through her that day”
Yuan Zhaoxu looked at the Fuyao as in high spirits His
eyes flashed, and after a time he chuckled ”Do you knoho it is you
just tried to assassinate?”
”Who?”
”Tai Yuan's Third Prince, Qi Xunyi,” Zhaoxu's
smile becaion
Continent's 'Seven Princes', Prince Yi”
”Prince Yi? 'An apricot flower askew slick with misty
rain, three thousand scarlet colors dancing in starry twilight', the one known
as the number one in literary talent, number one in noble aura, number one in
absurd ridiculousness under the heavens - Prince Yi?”
Meng Fuyao was stunned, recalling that ambush that was like
a venoht that was like a storm cyclone
Yuan Zhaoxu glanced at her ”Looks like it was
fortunate that I didn't reveal his true status to you before, otherwise I'm
afraid you would have been unable to run when you were at the Wind Listening
Small Pavilion”
”Nonsense” Fuyao gave hiry look ”Am
I the type of person to get weak in the legs when seeing attractiveness?”
Yuan Zhaoxu pretended to be earnest, leaning over and
patting Yuanbao on his head ”Master Yuanbao, what do you say?”
”Zhi zhi!”
Yuanbao's tone sounded like coreement
