Chapter 1773 “Ji Song (1)”

“I’m fine Gu Lao.” She smiled bitterly after getting pulled up, her eyes filled with sorrow: “I reaped these injuries upon myself.”

Isn’t it?

I only didn’t want that woman to use Ling Yan for her own schemes in the name of being the child’s mother, who could’ve guessed such a shameless person would openly attack me without fear of retribution.

“It’s that woman who’s responsible?” Gu Lao flared with resentment, his eyes poisonous like a snake.

Gu Ya bites her lip: “I’ll fix this on my own Gu Lao, you don’t have to step in.”

“Miss, even at a time like this you still refuse to let me get involve?” Gu La angrily roars, “Those people have already stomped on your head, how can you bear with it? I really don’t know what you are afraid of Milady, no one will know or threaten you again if I simply remove them from the picture.”

Gu Ya hung her head even more: “Gu Lao, it’s not like you don’t know the monarch’s personality. I do not want you to die for me, this matter must be solved using other means. Don’t worry, I will find a way, trust in my ability…” Having said that, the injured woman pulls herself forward at the exit, that figure unstable and frail from the rear.

Murdering has never been Gu Ya’s way of dealing with obstacles. In the past she used her wits to overcome the hurdles, and into the future she would continue to do the same, that’s how she’s been able to stay by Heavenly side for so long while others were eventually dismissed due to their tainted ways.

……

In the backyard of the Monarch Manor, Di Ling Yan was bored and dragging her little feet through the stream when she overheard a voice from the back.

“You… who are you?”

Turning around out of curiosity, Di Ling Yan quickly landed her sight upon a palish little girl who’s around five to six years old standing under the moonlight. Though the other child had a delicate contour that would be considered a beauty in the making, but that morbid complexion ruined all of her gift in making her appear weak and sickly.

“Who are you?” Di Ling Yan returns the same question, her eyes shining with glee: “I have been here for a few days already, why haven’t I met you before Sister?”

The little girl blushed for no reason and timidly answered: “My grandfather usually won’t let me out of my room because I can’t take the sunlight, that’s why I snuck out tonight. But I know pretty much everyone in the Monarch Manor, how come I never seen you before?”

“Well that’s simple, I only came here a few days ago at the invitation of Grandpapa. My name is Di Ling Yan, who’s your grandfather?”

Maybe it’s the big smile of the pipsqueak, or it’s the kindness shown in that voice, but the morbid looking girl actually fell into a trance for a moment. Pursing her lip: “My grandfather is the First Elder of the Monarch Manor, his name is Ji Sky. I’m his granddaughter Ji Song.”

Ji Sky? Ji Song?

The pipsqueak fell into a state of shock.

The name… why is it so weird?

“Sister, are you not well? My mother is a master alchemist, she can definitely help by examining you.” Di Ling Yan blinks her well-behaving eyes and pulled at Song’s hand like they’re already good friends.

Song shook her head: “My grandfather is a master alchemist as well, but even he is helpless against my condition… There’s no way to help.”

“Sister, can you come with me anyways?” Di Ling Yan pleads without giving up, “You are Grandpapa’s people. I want to repay him for helping me, I’m sure my mother can do something. Maybe she will find a way, please…”

Perhaps it’s the clean light in those eyes, but Ji Song’s heart didn’t have the will to reject the request. Nodding in an almost daze like fashion, this morbid girl doesn’t struggle and gets dragged away despite being the older child.
