Chapter 91 - 91. Meiyuns Past II (1/2)

Third person POV

Weisheng gently laid Hong er down to her bed and sat on the bedside. He stared lovingly at Hong er and tugged her blanket before he walked out of her room. Like usual, Meiyun and Huayun were guarding the door and quietly greeted Weisheng so they wouldn't wake Hong er. When Weisheng walked by Meiyun, she stepped up and smilingly bowed to Weisheng.

Weisheng knew that both of Hong er's bodyguards were ex assassins and were very professional in their job, he was quite impressed by their strength and skills. They took a good care of Hong er so he had a good impression on them. Of course he understood what Meiyun meant so he just told her to speak.

Weisheng: ” What is it?”

Meiyun: ” General Sheng, can we talk in more private place? I don't want anyone to listen to our conversation.”

Weisheng looked at her with inquiring eyes before he nodded and walked away. Meiyun told Huayun to stay and guard Hong er. Huayun was confused to what kind of thing that Meiyun had to talk about with Weisheng that even she didn't know. Their parents were killed since they were little but Huayun didn't really remember what had happened because she was unconscious at that time.

The moment she woke up, she was in a dungeon and Meiyun sat beside her with wounds all over her body. And since then, they were adopted by the guild master of their previous assassin guild. Meiyun didn't tell her anything about the past, if Huayun asked her, she would just smile and said everything was fine. As Huayun didn't want Meiyun to remember their painful past, she never asked Meiyun about it anymore.

Meiyun followed Weisheng to his study room, Qiyi and Qier greeted Weisheng and when they lifted up their head, they were surprised to see Meiyun following Weisheng. Meiyun smiled at them and entered Weisheng's study room. They were suspicious of Meiyun, actually they had trusted Meiyun and Huayun since both of their masters were very close and they occasionally practiced together.

They admitted that both Meiyun and Huayun were very strong in their own way but they felt like Meiyun had been hiding something fearful that even Huayun didn't know. But no matter how close they were, their master was their first priority so they worriedly called Weisheng.

Qiyi: ” Master…”

Weisheng knew what Qiyi meant just by his tone, he indifferently spoke.

Weisheng: ” It's okay, even if she wants to kill me, she can't.”

Weisheng glanced at the still smiling Meiyun and walked in his room, Meiyun turned around and smiled at them.

Meiyun: ” You don't trust me?”

Qiyi and Qier didn't reply to her as they glared at her. Seeing their hostile reaction, Meiyun's heart felt like being it was stabbed. She had treated them like her brothers especially Qiyi, so it made her heart hurt knowing that they didn't trust her like how she trusts them.

Meiyun: ” Guess so.”

She smiled at them once more before she closed the door. Qiyi felt something was tugging his heart when he saw Meiyun's sad smile. He wanted to reach out to Meiyun but before he could do that, Meiyun had closed the door. He gripped his chest as he didn't know what this feeling was.

After Meiyun closed the door, she took a deep breath before she turned around and face Weisheng. Weisheng calmly looked at Meiyun that stood in front of his desk. Meiyun's smile immediately dropped, she casted a magic barrier around the room. Weisheng's interest was piqued by Meiyun's bolt move. Then Meiyun's next move made him widen his eyes and immediately summoned his sword.

A black flame appeared on Meiyun's hands, she stared dazedly at the black on her hand. Weisheng knew better than anyone else that was his power, he had tested every dark branch elements in this world and none of them had the same aura as his. The black flame on Meiyun's hands was definitely his power but way weaker. He wanted to dig out as many information as he could then he would kill Meiyun with his own hand.

Meiyun: ” I know that you are thinking of killing me but listen to what I have to say first. I don't know who you are but I know that you are hiding your true identity.”

Weisheng: ” How?”

Meiyun: ” How? Do you remember the event that happened 13 years ago?”

( Meiyun, Huayun, Weisheng= 20 years old, Qiyi & Qier=24 years old, Hong er= 15 years old)

Weisheng: ” Which one?”

Meiyun: ” The bandit on the Hu Nan mountain.”

Weisheng: ” And?”

Meiyun: ” And there were two little girls, one was unconscious and the other one was on the brink of death. Their parent and everyone they knew were killed in one hour.”
