625 Too Hard to Escape from the Chains of Love 2 (1/2)
Butler Ye looked at the man's handsome eyes. It had been so many years and this man had become peaceful and quiet during this long period. His heart had died, and there was no one or nothing else in this world that would agitate his heart again.
But at that moment, there were two little whirlpools that gradually appeared in the man's eyes, making his eyes look manic.
He stared at Butler Ye fixedly and asked, ”Are you sure that it is her?”
Her?
Lin Xuanji!
Butler Ye nodded in affirmation. ”Yes, Sir, I'm certain. The beauty who has slept for a thousand years and does not age is Madam Xuanji.”
Lu Jinwen was silent for a few seconds. He threw the fountain pen in his hand onto the office table. ”Get the private jet ready. I'm heading to Miaojiang.”
”Yes, Sir.”
Lu Jinwen draped a black cashmere coat over himself and strode ahead with a renewed vigor.
”Mr Lu, where are you going?” At this moment, a pretty figure walked over. It was Lin Siyu.
Lu Jinwen's face was devoid of any expression. ”I'm going to Miaojiang. You be good and stay here.”
”Miaojiang? Mr Lu, I want to go there too.” Lin Siyu ran over and wrapped her slender arms around Lin Jinwen's strong arm, pouting her lips and whining continuously.
Lu Jinwen arched his brows, then curved his thin lips. ”Mm, let's go together then.”
That was great.
Lin Siyu let her lips flash a radiant smile.
…
At this moment at another villa.
Lin Xuanyin received Old Master Lin's call. She uttered in shock, ”What? There's news about Xuanji?”
Old Master Lin's shrewd voice was heard over the phone. ”Yes, Lu Jinwen is flying over to Miaojiang together with Siyu now. Jun Mosheng is bringing Tang Mo'er over as well. There will soon be a battle in Miaojiang.”
Lin Xuanyin gripped her phone so tightly that her knuckles had become white. It had been so many years and history was going to repeat itself again. Lu Jinwen and Jun Mosheng were going to fight over Lin Xuanji once again.
”Xuanyin, don't be afraid. Even if Jinwen manages to bring Xuanji back, he will extract Xuanji's heart for you.”
Would he?
Lin Xuanyin was not so sure anymore. There was no definitive answer in her heart. Would Lu Jinwen resume the heart transplant operation that had happened many years ago to extract Lin Xuanji's heart? Would he really give her Xuanji's heart?
…
Miaojiang.
The High Priest in Miaojiang was now Meng Lu. On this day, Meng Lu received two important guests - Lu Jinwen and Jun Mosheng had arrived at the same time.
”Mr Lu, Mr Jun, I've heard of your renowned names. I had not expected for both of you distinguished guests to arrive at Miaojiang at the same time. This is indeed an honor,” Meng Lu said politely.
Lu Jinwen and Jun Mosheng glanced at each other, then looked away.
Jun Mosheng spoke first. ”High Priest Meng, we have heard there's a beauty laying at the altar, who has been sleeping for a thousand years. Could you let us see her?”
”Mr Jun, Mr Lu, that is indeed the truth. This beauty who has been sleeping for a thousand years, was rescued by me from the Passion River many years ago.”
”Passion River?”
”That's right. The Passion River is the holy source of water in Miaojiang. As the name suggests, the Passion River is able to destroy the skin of a person who is in love with someone else, as if it were acidic, just by a mere drop. The Passion Water from the river is as harmless as normal water should it touch a person who does not love anyone.”
”Passion River?”
This so called 'Passion River' in Miaojiang was considered folklore. It was said that this holy water could verify the true love between a man and a woman.
For men and women who loved another, even a drop of the Passion Water would destroy them almost immediately.
