Chapter 4 : “Uninvited Guest”

Jun Wu Yao saw that she had already settled back in bed and knew that she had acceded to this ‘request’ of his.

 

By some stroke of luck he had regained his freedom. Since the heavens had blessed him, he would definitely regain all that was lost.

 

Before he exacted this vengeance of his, he needed to rebuild his strength back to its peak. Meeting this interesting little girl along the way might relieve his boredom. She was unlike those other boring people. Staying here would be entertaining.

 

Over the next couple of days, all sorts of rare pills and potions were being sent into her room. While all the best doctors in the country were summoned for Jun Wu Xie’s treatment.

 

If she had a choice she would have treated herself.

 

Looking at the treatment those white-haired doctors were administering, Wu Xie was trembling with anger within. They were quacks! They were all quacks!

 

If it was her, such injuries would have been easily treated within 10 days but from the mouths of these ‘doctors’ all of them reported the healing period of not less than one month.

 

As her injuries were too serious for her to tend to herself, she didn’t have any choice but to patiently bear through the month.

 

During this period, her grandfather dropped by to visit her everyday to check on her recovery. Jun Wu Yao rarely visited.

 

When she had finally recovered enough to walk on her own, Jun Wu Yao appeared at the door.

 

“You are finally looking much better” he chortled as he leaned against the door and flashed her a devilish grin.

 

“I’m going to change clothes” Jun Wu Xie expressionlessly glanced at him – all with a single meaning. Scram.

 

Unfortunately…someone did not seem to get the hint.

 

Rather than going away, he actually strode over to Jun Wu Xie’s side and raised his hands and gently lifted her up.

 

The little black cat’s fur stood on ends.

 

Release it’s mistress you beast! It screamed out in it’s head.

 

“Sister has not completely healed yet, it’s very inconvenient for you. This kind of thing it’s natural for brother to help you.”

 

When he finished, Jun Wu Yao completely ignored the black pair of flaming eyes as he carried his dear ‘sister’ to the bed and begin picking out a set of clean clothes for her and began changing Jun Wu Xie.

 

“……………………………………….” Jun Wu Xie’s brain crashed as she sat there dumbfounded while he removed her outer robes.

 

No matter be it past or present other than medical situations, Wu Xie never had any intimate contact with the opposite sex.

 

He simply helped himself?!

 

Jun Wu Xie gave him a death stare as she pursed her lips tightly.

 

The only one who was behaving correctly in this situation was the little black furball. It’s master was being taken of such a huge advantage! And yet she had no response? Now it’s not the time to be in a daze! SLAP HIM!!!!

 

………..

Jun Wu Xie sat there petrified without any resistance as he changed her.

 

Her calm demeanor startled him and after changing her, he gave her a teasing smile as he carried her out towards the door.

 

“Where are we going?” Wu Xie finally choked out. She waved to the cat and it leaped up into the air and it turned into a black mist returning to her.

 

“We have a guest.” Jun Wu Yao replied as he gave her a dazzling smile.

 

In the Lin Palace grand hall, tea was being served to the guests.

 

Hosting the session was a good-looking man in his early thirties. He was wearing a pale blue robe, but he was seated on a wheelchair. It was such a pity that such a good man, turned out to be a cripple.

 

To his right sat another man wearing a light yellow silk brocade. He was handsome and had an air of arrogance. Next to him was an elegant beauty dressed in white.

 

“Please wait for a while Second Prince, Wu Xie has not fully recovered hence she would take some time to come over.”

 

The man in the wheelchair politely informed his guests. He was none other than the youngest son of Jun Xian – Jun Qing.

 

Second Prince Mo Xuan Fei nodded with an indifferent expression. Although he was Jun Wu Xie’s fiance, during this entire time, this was actually his first time coming round to visit. What’s more, he even brought along another woman.

 

Jun Qing’s face naturally did not look good.

 

Soon, Jun Wu Yao came to the hall.

 

Mo Xuan Fei’s indifferent attitude dispersed immediately as he creased his forehead.

 

Mo Xuan Fei can be said to be one of the best looking men in the entire Kingdom of Qi, but now his fiancée Jun Wu Xie, was carried out by a man far surpassing his own league.

 

As Wu Xie was still recuperating, she had lost her former rosy little face. It was now slightly pale, which made her features exude a feeling, like a blooming white lotus.

 

She was quietly nestled in the arms of a strange man. Her former domineering attitude was replaced with a delicate and charming demeanor.

 

Mo Xuan Fei did not like Jun Wu Xie, this was a well-known fact known throughout the entire Kingdom.

 

Their promised marriage was only due to fear of antagonising Lin Wang as he had complete control on his Rui Lin Army.

 

But this does not mean that Mo Xuan Fei was happy to see his fiancee make a cuckold of him!

 

“And this is?” Mo Xuan Fei asked with a deep frown.

 

“This is Jun Wu Yao, Wu Xie’s brother”, Jun Qing subconsciously answered.

 

“What?!” Mo Xuan Fei expression changed for the worst. Lin Palace third generation only had one person, where did this Jun Wu Yao appear from?

 

Does that mean that Lin Wang had long taken precautions against the Royal family and actually concealed such an important fact? Mo Xuan Fei eyes slightly narrowed.

 

“No, Wu Yao is an orphan, brought up by my father who had picked him up and raised him outside.

 

This time as Wu Xie was seriously injured, with father’s poor health and I can’t help, we decided to call Wu Yao back to take care of her.” Jun Qing replied.

 

They had no blood relations. Mo Xuan Fei heaved a sigh of relief. From the beginning, Mo Xuan Fei did not care about Jun Wu Xie.

 

Jun Wu Yao and Jun Wu Xie slowly settled into their seats. She gave the opposite couple a casual glance, and secretly sneered.

 

So this was the man the original Wu Xie was so fascinated with. However she had no recollection of the woman seated next to him.

 

“Imperial Father learned that Wu Xie is injured, so he sent some tonics over. Yun Xian happened to be around and I asked her to come by and take a look at the injury. Yun Xian is skilled in medicine and it’s better that she take a look to make sure you recover well.”

 

His indifferent expression had already returned however whenever he mentioned that woman, he would gaze affectionately at her and his tone softened whenever he mention her name.

 

That look was as though he was looking at his own sweetheart.

 

[That scoundrel!] The little black cat echoed in Jun Wu Xie’s mind.

 

In front of his fiancée, he was actually flirting with another woman!

 

Jun Wu Xie who had been silent the entire time finally spoke.

 

“There’s no need.”

 

This world’s doctors have tormented her enough.

 

Jun Wu Xie refusal had caused Mo Xuan Fei and his companion’s smiling face to crumble.

 

Mo Xuan Fei voiced his displeasure and said: “Yun Xian is the direct disciple of Qing Yun Clan’s Sovereign.”

 

Qing Yun Clan?

 

Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrow slightly, even Jun Qing’s face bore a hint of surprise.

 

There were several major powers outside Kingdom of Qi, one of which was the Qing Yun Clan. They are well renowned through the continents and had remained undisputed in the field of medicine for generations.

 

They have a long history of producing geniuses, each whose name had fame that could shake the entire continent. The most famed was their Sovereign who has the ability akin to a saint, garnering every kingdoms’ respect. The Kingdom of Qi will definitely be on the losing end if they angered the Qing Yun Clan.

 

Bai Yun Xian was the Sovereign’s disciple which meant that her status in the clan was quite high .

 

After Mo Xuan Fei had introduced her, Bai Yun Xian lifted her chin up slightly and her features could be seen clearer and it was of an otherworldly appearance.

 

“I spent a lot of effort to invite Yun Xian over. Furthermore, Wu Xie has no contractual spirit. If she doesn’t heal well, what will become of her? Although we are not destined for each other, no matter what, as an acquaintance or even a friend, I should also help her. “Mo Xuan Fei finally conveyed his intentions.

 

Jun Qing’s face was black as coal.

 

Previously Mo Xuan Fei had taken Jun Wu Xie as his fiancee, entirely due to Lin Palace’s military power, but now he had nothing to fear as he found an even stronger backing.

 

Even Jun Xian’s military power, no matter how big, is not Qing Yun Clan’s opponent.

 

Mo Xuan Fei’s purpose was very clear, he wanted to break this marriage engagement!

 

“Does this mean that Second Prince wants to break your engagement with our Wu Xie?” Jun Qing was gripping the wheelchair so hard, his knuckles turned white.

 

“This is quite upsetting, although I have no feelings towards Wu Xie, since I had gained her affection, I wanted to try to get along and see if we could progress further. But it’s been so long, I really do not harbour any feelings towards her and it’s been determined that she has no contractual spirit. We are not destined for each other. ” Mo Xuan Fei patiently explained.

 

How can he marry such a spoiled and haughty girl who did not even have a contractual spirit? No matter what he was was a Prince of a nation! How could he marry a waste and become a laughing stock?

 

He did not care about Jun Wu Xie and had thoroughly humiliated her by bringing out her infatuation with him as well as her status as a waste.

 

He had completely pushed the blame to her and wiped his slate clean.

 

Jun Qing’s already ashen face, silently cursed himself and blamed own uselessness. Due to his disability, others are bullying his niece in his own home yet he could do nothing at all to protect what’s precious to him.

 

Has Lin Palace declined so much?

 

Jun Qing could not bear to see Wu Xie’s forlorn expression. Knowing how much she was smitten with Mo Xuan Fei, with her arrogant temper, and now she was insulted by that very man she had pinned for, how she can stand it?

 

However, what he saw left him stunned.

 

Instead of a drama unfolding before his eyes, what he saw was entirely different from his expectations. Jun Wu Xie with an aloft and indifferent aura, casually glanced at Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian.

 

She…She did not get angry?

 

“Is that all?” Jun Wu Xie looked at them indifferently.

 

Her calmness had made not only Jun Qing but Mo Xuan Fei shocked speechless. This was beyond their expectations.

 

When she wanted the engagement, she desperately did every single thing in her power, even to the extent of abusing her grandfather’s position to corner him into agreeing. However now that he himself had announced the annulment, she acted as though it had nothing to do with her.

 

“Jun Wu Xie, let’s go our separate ways. Let Yun Xian heal you and we’ll owe each other nothing henceforth.” Mo Xuan Fei furrowed his eyes as he couldn’t read her. What was she scheming this time round?

 

Jun Wu Xie cast a glance at Yun Xian and she looked at her from head to toe as if appraising an item and her lips curved into a gentle smile.

 

“The world is a vast place, why don’t you go out and have a look?” Jun Wu Xie asked in a playful tone.

 

“What do you mean?” Mo Xuan Fei was puzzled.

 

Jun Wu Yao simply chuckled. “I think she meant it’s time for you to scram.” his eyes slightly teary, trying hard to hold back his laughter as he very ‘kindly’ offered them her explanation.

 

Mo Xuan Fei’s face instantly became livid. “Jun Wu Xie, even if you do not agree to the annulment of our engagement you have to. Imperial Father has already prepared the edict and it would be announced to the whole world tomorrow.”

 

Bai Yun Xian who was quiet all this time finally spoke out in a gentle and soft voice: “Miss Jun, my master once said that all life will eventually end. Some things can’t be forced. In your current predicament, it is not wise for you to further pursue this marriage.” She ‘kindly’ offered her advice guised with an undertone of arrogance.

 

In short, do not be shameless and stick to Mo Xuan Fei.

 

[How dare she! Mistress! This woman is berating you!] Little black cat was fuming at this adulterous couple.

 

“I’m tired.” Jun Wu Xie gave an exaggerated look of fatigue and didn’t to even bother to cast her glance at the couple although they were directly in her line of sight. She turned and looked over at Wu Yao.

 

Jun Wu Yao stood up naturally, stretched his hands out as he scooped Wu Xie’s petite body into his arms and left the hall without looking back.

 

Mo Xuan Fei’s face got uglier by each second. Jun Wu Xie had never ignored him before but today, she practically ignored his existence.

 

“It’s getting late already, dear guests, please return.” Jun Qing said coldly. If not for their special identities, he would have kicked them out long ago!

 

Mo Xuan Fei was about to say something but Bai Yun Xian stood up with a hint of dissatisfaction. He swallowed whatever he was about to say and could only follow quietly as she stormed out.

 

In the quiet hall, Jun Qing’s face was as white as sheet. When did Lin Palace need to tolerate such insults? Looking at how things are progressing, with his aging father and no suitable successor to the Rui Lin Army, the Royal family is starting to act out their thoughts. From Mo Xuan Fei’s actions today, it can be seen that the Royal family no longer held the Lin palace in any regards.

 

………

Whilst carrying Wu Xie in his arms, Wu Yao had on a playful smile.

 

“You’re not angry?” He lowered his gaze and looked at her. It was clear as day that the Second Prince had purposely brought his new love to visit with bad intentions.

 

However not a trace of anger could be seen.

 

She raised her head slightly. Staring at him was a pair of eyes as calm as night filled with question marks.

 

Jun Wu Yao could not help but his smiled deepened as his crescent eyes revealed a faint glint. No one could fathom what he was on his mind.

 

“Wu Xie, you really have a good temper.”
