Chapter 212: I’ll Kill All of You With Explosives (1/2)

‘Brush, brush!’ the sounds came while guards’ long and sharp swords brushed against Murong Xue's clothes, and were deeply plunged into the mud of the pond, lifting up dirty sludge, and muddying the water nearby.
Haunted with the smell of mud, Murong Xue was dazed and dizzy, and couldn’t tell the direction. She frowned tightly, and swam forward secretly while holding her breath.
“Murong Xue ...... Where is Murong Xue?” asked Qin Haoyan while striding into the garden, his pretty face turning gloomy and dreadful.
A guard hurriedly stepped forward, and answered respectfully, “Your Highness, Murong Xue was already disappeared when we got here.”
“Is that true?” Qin Haoyan snorted disbelievingly. He glanced over the corridor, the tone road, the garden, and the rockery viciously and presumptuously, and then fixed on the pond with an ill-disposed smile. “Murong Xue couldn’t have fled this strongly-fortified courtyard. She might have hidden underwater.” At the thought of this, Qin Haoyan commanded, “Somebody, blast the pond!” “Let’s find out where she’s hiding!”
“Yes!” the guards took the order and walked to the pond with gunpowder packets in their hands. A cold voice suddenly rang just before they were about to light the fuse, “Stop! Murong Xue will be killed if you blast the pond.”
Qin Haoyan glanced at Ye Yichen, and said causally, “So what? What my sister needs are her eyes, not her life. As long as her eyes are intact, nothing else matters.”
“You don’t care, but I do ......” Ye Yichen interrupted him coldly with hatred radiating from his pupils.
Qin Haoyan narrowed his vicious and presumptuous eyes all of a sudden, and asked, “Prince Jing, you didn’t fall for Murong Xue, did you?”
“What if I did?” Ye Yichen gave him a piercing stare.
“If it’s real, what are you gonna do to with my sister? ” Qin Haoyan looked at him, and asked in a harsh voice.
Ye Yichen narrowed his eyes and answered in a lower voice, “I will cure Yuyan’s eyes first, then,she will return to Mo Bei along with you, and marry someone who will treat her well.”
“But she wants to stay with you.” Qin Haoyan interrupted Ye harshly, with anger flashing in his eyes.
“Yet, I have no feeling to her. In this case, it’s unfair for her to stay with me ......” Ye Yichen answered in a lower voice, with his stare becoming sharp, calm and emotionless.
Hearing Ye’s words, Qin Haoyan finally believed that Ye Yichen really had no feelings for Qin Yuyan. Yet, he suddenly narrowed his vicious and presumptuous eyes as he asked, “Is it because of Murong Xue that you lost the interest in my sister? In that case, her presence is indeed a disaster for my sister!”
Qin Haoyan laughed coldly, and stretched to grasp the gunpowder in the hand of a guard. Next, he ignited the gunpowder, and violently threw it into the pond at a tremendous speed.
Then, a sound of “bang!” came, the clear pond water was blasted up for two or three meters high. Shocked by the violent explosion, the guards hurriedly stepped backward in fright.
A light cyan figure slowly emerged in the surface along with countless dead fish as the strong charring smell rapidly spread in the air.
“Xue’er!” Ye Yichen cried out in alarm, great panic shown in his eyes. He tapped the ground with his toe, and pounced on her as fast as a flying arrow.
Realizing what Ye was going to do, Qin Haoyan and hurriedly ran after him. “I must not let Ye Yichen get Murong Xue’s corpse. Otherwise, my sister might become permanently blind if he is unwilling to take out Murong Xue’s eyes due to his temporary anger at us.”
