Chapter 8 ('cont)
Feng Jin snorts scornfully and looks down on Nineteen ”Xiao Ren”
Little Nineteen is indignant and hops from one plurabs Nineteen by the collar ”Since the star of the show has appeared, let us leave them alone and not cause further trouble”
Before she drags Nineteen out of the door, the old wo shot ”Sort out the hter-in-law to meet everyone officially at the ancestral ho since everyone is present We have been waiting for the day you get es Surely, you will not disappoint us right?”
Feng Jin does not answer and waits for the Guan Jing struggles to sit up but pain from her chest makes this task difficult She bites down hard on her lips to prevent a sound of pain fro Jin wants her to lie down but she ignores his curt command and tries to find a position that is not too painful Even if he would love to help, he wisely kept his hands by his side
When she finally ets her breath back, she stares at hi on what to say ”So you have finally decided that I'm fit to see your servants? All this tiue shadohen the reality is that they are really mere shadows because they are made from paper What about Zhu Yu and Niu Da? Are they made of paper too?”
Feng Jin gri tone at the same time he is ticked off by her cool attitude ”None of the servants ork in this house are human”
Although she isis still surprised by his adical world has she stepped into? She srimly ”No wonder Zhu Yu is forever worried that you will tear her up and burn her in the furnace if she doesn't do her job well”
The jiang hu is full of strange happenings and even though she thought she has seen a lot, it is only at this instant that Shang Guan Jing realized just how lacking her education is And to be fooled around like a monkey…
”I heard Yan Ying calling you 'Feng Zhu' So are you the current leader of the Diao family? Teacher said that the token will lead ht to you when I first arrived”
Feng Jin listens intently and did notGuan Jing senses so his true side to her Surprisingly, this revelation help dispels soer before her
”Since Nineteen is your cousin and the old worand Jin' since that is what they call you But your full na Jin' is it not? And your whole fae and I have in fact,everyone about the Diao faht in their midst all the time…”
Her ss that have previously puzzled her finally fall in place ”The villagers fear you not because you look different but because they knoho you really are As for the young wo when you said that you can erase herof how hard he ullible she is, her eyes filled with tears ”But it is not a joke isn't it?”
TheJin beco to her - sorry, that is just not in his make up - and just hear how cool she sounds! Her mild sarcasm, her tears… &!!! He doesn't care for the unco when she cries When she did not continue even after a long time, he barks ”Why have you stopped? Carry on! Speak what is on your ”
Seeing that he does not seeeron every 15th day of the lunar ht?!” Her body starts to quiver in anger ”I bet you are lying about that too, aht?”
”Yes, I lied to you” He admits openly, his eyes sharp ”I am the current head of the Diao family and am probably the most powerful person born into the fa to the clan elders, it is probably because I have a higher mix of phoenix blood in my body than others In any case, I am the only one in my family history who is born like that”
He shrugs ”But power comes at a price and to bleed on each fullfroic 24 hours before the rise of the full moon, I may not even bleed sometimes”
”So your bleeding and discoht?”
He did not anshich she took as acknowledge ”The 2 oxens who suddenly charge at you…”
She starts coughing at her own naïveness Her chest aches badly with each constriction and she starts slipping off the bed Had not Feng Jin not reach out a hand to steady her, she would probably have fallen off the bed
Face foul, he gathers her close and pats her back in hopes that she will breathe easier Shang Guan Jing also tries hard to control her coughing but it is a while before she can speak again without each word burning a hole through her chest ”My teacher wanted ive you the token and has said that you will knohat to do next Do you?”
Feng Jin did not answer He can smell blood in her breath and in his h the air to protect hih the chest
How has he bear to see that happening at that time, he does not know At that h him from the pain he felt Why was he able to stand idly by while she gets hurt? Perhaps in his subconscious, he wanted to her to be in pain, to suffer the saer feels that way now Just how had he been able to stand by and watch her get hurt?
Parting her hair, he drawls slowly ”Several generations ago, someone in the family left Nan Man to settle down elsewhere We do not know his exact whereabouts but we heard that he finally settled around the Western Seas where he discovered a valuable ore mine But I prefer the other version for the story…”
