Chapter 284 - Would Break The Taboo (1/2)

The trio quickly came into the forbidden place's courtyard through the side door when they realized that they didn't have to fight the hidden guards and the coast was already clear. They did just like what Aunt Yue had instructed them before. They felt a bit uneasy due to the quietness but they still continued walking ahead.

When they arrived at Aunt Yue's house, they looked around carefully. Because the place wasn't really being cared for, it looked a little bit eerie at night. There was no light being lit up on the outside of the house, and the darkness seemed to swallow the house. The only source of light they could see was a dimmed light that coming from inside of the house. Without that light, it would take a little while for them to find the house.

The night chilly breeze made their whole body shiver. For the men, this was still alright because they used to do a mission in this kind of environment. However, to Xiao Fang, this was the epitome of horror. She was so scared of the uncanny surroundings and she couldn't help but stay vigilance... just in a case, a ghost would appear out of nowhere.

”Come on! Knock on the door!” Lin Jian ordered Xiao Fang in a soft voice. He gave a pointed gaze towards the closed door.

”Why should I?” Xiao Fang asked in displeasure. He was the man ah~! How could he let her do the knocking?!

Lin Jian rolled his eyes. ”Yao Ying is currently princess carrying Yao Ling, so his hands are full. I'm looking around to protect all of us just in case an ambush suddenly appears out of nowhere. So... you are the only one who is idle...” The meaning was clear... she wasn't the only one who did nothing, so what he told her to do was reasonable.

Truth to be told, Lin Jian knew that no danger was lurking around. He just wanted to tease Xiao Fang because the woman looked like she would faint any moment due to her own fear. He snickered at her and when Yao Ying saw his expression, the latter knew that Lin Jian's naughtiness appeared once more.

Yao Ying rolled his eyes, as long as they didn't waste too much time, he would let them be.

Xiao Fang understood what Lin Jian meant and she could only resign to her fate. She cleared her throat and quickly went ahead of the others. Before she knocked on the door, she looked back and gulped. She saw how Lin Jian nodded at her, encouraging her... her fear decreased a little bit. At least, she wasn't all alone here.

However, before she could knock on the door, the door suddenly opened out of nowhere. Xiao Fang jumped up in surprise and she would have screamed out loud if Lin Jian didn't close her mouth with both of his hands. Her heart was beating faster and faster. What surprised Xiao Fang the most was the fact that Aunt Yue appeared with a lantern on her hand... the lantern shone on her face, making her face look so scary --- like a ghost!

When Lin Jian found that she already calmed herself down, the former slowly let her go. Xiao Fang sighed in relief but her face turned red in embarrassment. She felt lucky that it was dark all around her --- or else, they would be able to see her blushing face. She felt like slapping her own mouth! What if her scream woke up the hidden guards? That would be bad!

Xiao Fang quickly tried to amend the situation and apologized sheepishly at Aunt Yue, ”I'm sorry, Aunt Yue. I was just too surprised!” She didn't dare to say or admit that she thought Aunt Yue as a ghost just now.

Aunt Yue merely smiled but said nothing. She understood that the little girl was a bit timid, so she didn't blame her. Aunt Yue moved to the side and let them in, ”Come in! Everything will be ready soon.”

She turned back and walked inside the room first. ”Can you introduce us?” Aunt Yue asked even though her back was facing them. She was busy preparing the ingredients that were needed to wake the young woman up.

Xiao Fang introduced Aunt Yue to Yao Ying and Lin Jian. When Aunt Yue turned around, she nodded briefly to the two men. She merely took a glance at them and her gaze landed on Yao Ling and she could feel a slight pull towards the sleeping woman.

Aunt Yue couldn't help but come to her and touch her face tenderly.

Aunt Yue could feel a small vibration on her hand.. right at the place where she touched Yao Ling. Something was resonated between them and she knew that she had found the chosen one. She paid more attention to Yao Ling's face and she found familiarity in it... Was she... that person's child? If yes, there would be no wonder why this young woman would be able to make the symbols reacted and glow.

One thing for sure... This young woman was one of them --- A Bei Yue.

Their race had a way to find each other and there was a subtle connection between each of them. The resonation between their blood was already a good proof that the woman was one of them. If Aunt Yue wasn't a hundred percent sure about it before, she was now.

”What's her name?” Aunt Yue asked softly.

”Yao Ling...” Yao Ying was the one who answered her this time.
