Chapter 1718 - 1718 Lingyun
1718 Lingyun
“What is happening with Lingyun? I thought you said you had taken care of her. Wasn’t she supposed to assist us with Phoenix Girl? Why is she acting so unhelpful now? And to make matters worse, we have been expelled from Piaomiao Pavilion!”
“….”
“Lord Huai is engaged with Phoenix Girl. I don’t think that Pheonix Girl didn’t know anything about this. She was trying to humiliate us!”
“….”
“Did Lingyun help or not? What is going on? Tell me!” Qianji snapped, the moment he went into the hostel room.
He was seething with anger, a feeling he hadn’t experienced in years during his time at Piaomiao Pavilion. Being forced out in such a humiliating manner was unprecedented for him, particularly in front of his loyal men from Piaomiao Pavilion. He couldn’t let Lingyun off the hook for this.
Qianji found some solace in venting his frustrations at Wuxing regarding Lingyun. However, as he sat down and took a sip of tea, the anger began to subside ever so slightly. The calming effect of the tea helped clear his mind, allowing him to shift his focus towards thinking about Lingyun and the situation at hand.
As he reflected on the events that transpired, Qianji couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment and confusion. His anger towards Lingyun had been fueled by witnessing Wuxing attempting to communicate with her during their time in the court. However, upon further contemplation, he began to realize that something didn’t add up.
Pacing back and forth in the room, Qianji delved into his thoughts. He had only had limited interactions with Lingyun before, but through his conversations with Wuxing, he had gained some insights into her character. He recognized that Lingyun possessed capabilities and skills, yet she appeared to be easily manipulated by Wuxing’s influence.
Given Lingyun’s potential and talents, Qianji couldn’t comprehend why she had failed to achieve anything significant in front of Phoenix Girl. It puzzled him and sparked further questions about her true nature and motives.
Qianji’s frustration grew as he dwelled on Lingyun’s inaction and lack of willingness to step forward and assist in their current predicament. It had been a significant amount of time since their encounter with Phoenix Girl, and yet Lingyun remained passive and uninvolved.
With a heavy sigh, Qianji slammed the teacup onto the table, directing his attention to Wuxing. His tone was demanding and urgent as he sought answers.
“Wuxing, there must be something wrong with Lingyun. Tell me, what is going on? The situation between Piaomiao Pavilion and Phoenix Girl has become increasingly embarrassing, and no matter what actions we take, they will pale in comparison to a few words spoken by Lingyun. Her mere presence holds great importance to us. I need to understand what is going on with her.”
” “…”
“But apparently, she doesn’t want to help. Can you talk with her about this?”
“….”
“Is Lingyun still listening to you?” Qianji asked with a hint of worry in his voice. The uncertainty surrounding Lingyun’s behavior troubled him deeply.
Wuxing, equally concerned, shook his head resolutely. Lingyun had indeed undergone some changes recently, appearing more composed and steady than during their time in Piaomiao Pavilion. However, Wuxing was convinced that Lingyun still held him in high regard and considered him more important than her own life. This conviction led him to believe that she would never willingly disregard his words.
“I have recently spoken to her about our plans to get married. It’s inconceivable that she would refuse to listen,” Wuxing stated firmly, reaffirming his belief in Lingyun’s loyalty.
