Chapter 105 - Jiang Ying Yue (2) (2/2)
'Damn, what's with this? Even the first encounter is pretty much the same!'
No coincidence happens thrice. Na Yu looking like Zhu Li could still be said a coincidence if it stopped there. But it was now obvious something was wrong when he laid eyes on this new girl whose features were a hundred percent similar to the younger Na Yu. Jiang Li made a mental note to inquire about this from the system once he gets into a safer place.
”Your Highness!” That slightly shaky voice pulled his attention away from the girl's face.
The marshal dressed in his court clothes sweated heavily as he put his hands forwards together under his sleeves. He bowed after his greetings. ”Everything's my fault. I haven't educated my daughter enough. But I'm begging Your Highness to show pity and forgive her!”
Jiang Li saw the stern and rigid Grand Marshal threw a cold look at the girl.
Even though annoyed by her soulless appearance and the father's treatment of her, he managed to reply, ”It's fine. But it seems this lady suffered a shock so I suggest you now bring her away.”
He received many words of thanks from the family of the girl and praises from the emperor and the bystanders. Of course, not all of them did the same. Some of the gazes he received were meaningful and gauging. Probably many were wondering why the usually stoic and aloof Chen Wang moved to stop the Jiang Family's first miss from smashing her head.
The noisy clamoring slash gossiping continued until the whole family of the military head disappeared from the grand chamber.
Jiang Li felt very thankful that the emperor immediately ended the banquet since he didn't really feel like staying. What a joke. He barely saw a part of the plot plus it was such a suffocating environment. Why would he want to stay?
Followed by his own entourage and ler by a eunuch, he got into an elegant and elaborately designed carriage parked at the left side of the front garden. Afterwards, he had the carriage driver sent him back to his own residence.
Taking advantage of the fact that the ride would take more or less an hour, he immediately unmuted the system, blocking it when it hurriedly offered to continue giving him the plot and his current Original's memories.
”I want to know why I saw someone looking like her in all the worlds you sent me to.”
'...'
The system acted weirdly when he said that. It first maintained its silence then asked, 'Host, why don't we first check how many points you earn?'
Jiang Li clicked his tongue and asked the same question, but to his extreme annoyance, the damn thing in his head kept its silence for good. Its action was just so suspicious. Or maybe deep within him, he just wanted to believe it was suspicious and not a coincidence so that he would have a reason to believe Jiang Ying Yue could be that girl...
