31 Making The Fourth Madam Dance (2/2)
”Father!” She cried out loud.
The general felt touched by her action. He lashed out a dark elemental attack, quickly aiming for the head of the attacking female before catching Hongyue who fell limply. The body of the maid sank to the ground with a thud. He turned to the crowd and motioned the fourth madam to step out.
”What's going on?!” He roared, his chest heaving up and down.
The fourth madam was confused as well. Didn't that servant say that Hongyue killed the other girl? Wasn't the other girl supposed to be dead? Why was she still alive and lively, even daring to attack the general?
”This concubine isn't sure herself.”
”This concubine isn't sure?” The general returned her words mockingly.
He pointed at the fallen body of the maid, ”Then what is this? You don't know? What don't you know? Did you know that she nearly killed me? Her skill level wasn't low at all!”
He breathed heavily in anger before he began to feel paranoid.
”Was this your purpose?! You were aiming to kill me, aren't you? You used Hongyue as bait for my death! You lied to me so I would come here and get attacked.”
The fourth madam dropped on the ground in fear. No, this wasn't supposed to happen. The one, the general, was supposed to suspect was Hongyue not her. Now, how was she supposed to protect her head? Why was this happening? Yes, it's because Hongyue had hidden powers.
She thought quickly, attempting to throw out anything to save her, ”My lord husband, please trust me. You can test Hongyue if you don't believe me.”
Hongyue looked up pitifully at the general, ”Father?”
The general thought for a minute. General Wei was curious himself, he held out a clear crystal wand with a silver handle. He placed it in front of her.
”Hongyue, my dear, put your hands on this,” He urged.
”What is that?” Hongyue tilted her head.
”It's to test to see if you have any powers. Wouldn't it be good if you have an elemental connection?” He implored.
Hongyue wanted to snicker at his words.
Good?
If she had any, she bet she would be killed right on the spot.
She put on a light smile before nodding.
”Okay.”
