Chapter 628 - She Stole Something Of Mine (2/2)

Nangong Lie furrowed his bushy eyebrows. Thief? That woman doesn’t look like a thief.

Instead, there was something that bothered him a lot.

That woman’s appearance… was too similar to the young lady from the Helian family.

There must be more to that.

Nangong Lie’s eyes were bright, he then spoke carelessly, “Since she is a thief, we could just chop her limbs off and throw her out of the palace. If that’s not enough, you could just kill her. You could even torture her in any way, as long as you can vent your anger. You haven’t made a move for so long, it doesn’t seem like you. When I get back, I’ll throw her out and then you can figure out what you want to do.”

The young man remained silent.

Nangong Lie knew that he had agreed.

However, he did not think that Ah Jue would do anything to that woman.

If he really detested her, there were many ways to make a person disappear in the palace. Besides, Ah Jue’s status was so high that he could just kill someone with a single word.

But the expression on Ah Jue’s face did not seem like he was lying.

After all, he even mentioned the eight years specifically…

“Since there’s a way to settle this problem, shouldn’t you settle the matter with Little Qing Zhan as well? She turns on her heel and walks away whenever she sees me!” Nangong Lie was in a very bad mood upon mentioning this!

The young man was somewhat inattentive and ordered Shadow to call Qing Zhan over.

Nangong Lie, with his young master style, surely would not show up to this kind of occasion. He hid behind the screen and strained his ears to listen to the situation outside.

The young man’s voice was husky and graceful as usual. He spoke unhurriedly, “Qing Zhan, I’ve heard about the incident that happened this afternoon. It seems like you have some misunderstandings about Young Master Lie.”

“No.” Qing Zhan’s expression was serious, looking tender and naive, “Your Highness, I’ve seen how Young Master Lie usually behaves. He gets into conversations with beautiful ladies whenever he meets them, and this is no longer a secret in the palace. I know you’re on good terms with Young Master Lie that you just don’t have the heart to badmouth him. It is his good fortune to have such a good friend like Your Highness.”

Nangong Lie, who was hiding behind the screen, felt like he had just taken a knife to his knees, and he had an upset look on his face.

Shadow, who was clear about the whole situation, was trying so hard to control his laughter.

Only the young man was calm and unruffled, “Actually he has many good qualities.”

“Your Highness, do not worry. With you here, I will serve Young Master Lie well!” Qing Zhan promised. She was loyal and devoted even at a young age.

But Nangong Lie was very unhappy. He looked at the young man dejectedly after Qing Zhan left.

The young man said frankly, “I’ve tried my best. How was I supposed to know that you have the habit of getting into conversations with beautiful ladies on a daily basis?”

Nangong Lie remained silent. I’m regretting that now, okay!

“Alright, Qing Zhan will return to you in the future. Three years should be enough time to change her impression of you, right?” The young man ma.s.saged his forehead and spoke tiredly, “Shouldn’t you be off to carry out your task now?”

Nangong Lie was still wallowing in his sorrows. When he went back to the Holy Wors.h.i.+p Temple and saw Helian Wei Wei, the first thing he asked her was, “Did you take anything from Ah Jue back then?”

“No.” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and asked languidly, “Why would you say that?”

Nangong Lie leaned slightly against the doorframe with an evil expression on his face, “I was at his place just now. He said that you had stolen something from him eight years ago and he had been searching for you for these eight years. He has finally caught you now, do you think that he would let you go? Oh dear, pray for yourself. I can only give you so many hints. Think about it. Perhaps you’ve taken something that is important to Ah Jue but you’re not aware of it.”

Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes and gave it a thought. Eventually, she shook her head.

“Then there’s nothing I can do anymore, you may leave now…”
