29 Humph! You Are So Annoying~! (2/2)

If this Ye Xiao was still the departed Ye Xiao instead of the Xiao Monarch, that would be a massive problem!

Anyway, he had to admit that girls' instincts were really frightening.

Su Yeyue was a princess, so things that usually happened to normal girls would never happen to her. However, the annoyance she had felt in the departed Ye Xiao was the natural reaction every normal girl had towards the foppish fools.

Ye Xiao realized that, sometimes, even a tiny action could let people notice his changed personality. He felt that he really needed to seriously think about this.

He had always been free and alone in his previous life, traveling around the world with laughter.

However, everything was different now. If he showed the personality of the Xiao Monarch in this present life... people would wonder how he turned into a solitary man from a foppish teenage boy...

Even in this mortal world, there could be people who would regard him as a threat and were able to easily kill him.

Maybe he should show himself as a foppish fool in people's faces so that it could become his perfect disguise.

Besides, after living for such a long time, Ye Xiao clearly knew that he had mostly lived wrong in his previous life.

Every bit of affection he had received had actually made him understand this, but he actually felt like he understood nothing.

He was always confused about it.

Could it be... that he had to go through all the troubles in heaven and hell before he could become successful?

So he was thinking, [Maybe I should try to get into a relationship?]

The reason he had stayed away from relationships till now was due to him practicing the Pure Yang Martial Arts.

”The disturbance you have caused this time is really serious. Although you didn't kill Mu Cheng-Bai, all of the existing evidences are still pointing at you.” Su Yeyue expressed her anxiousness.

Su Yeyue had not cared about this case before because she had not thought that it would matter whether Ye Xiao would die or not; she would have probably felt nothing more than a little pity. However, she cared for him now.

Even she herself didn't know how and why her mind had changed.

Someone she hadn't cared about before had suddenly become important to her.

How?!

”You're in a truly dangerous situation.” She lovingly looked at Ye Xiao.

”Hmm. I know.” Ye Xiao nodded, ”I am afraid I really am getting into a perilous position... The princes are fighting for the throne; the noble clans are interfering; the supreme dan beads have shown up; the reclusive martial sects are back to the world... The thing regarding me has happened during all these events, so maybe I will be the blasting fuse to the bursts of the battles...”

”That is true... What will you do next?” Su Yeyue asked worriedly, ”I can ask my dad to send a team of guards to protect you and lead you out of the capital to the north. You can get away from this mess.”

Ye Xiao replied after thinking for a while, ”A man should stand straight up in the world. How can I keep escaping from troubles. The more dangerous the situation is, the more I can get trained. If I can get through this, it will definitely be able to reform me. A danger is also an opportunity. If I can't get through it... then there won't be any big accomplishments in my life. I will be a useless fool who is unable to protect the ones whom he cares for and the ones who care for him.”

Ye Xiao smiled, ”I am too young. I haven't been through anything that will make me regret when I die. So if I die, I die.”

When he said so, he suddenly thought of a pair of eyes he had seen before, which looked exactly the same like the eyes that were looking at him right now.

He felt sad. Then he sighed.

Su Yeyue's face suddenly turned red again.

She started to think,

[What... What does he mean? Of course the 'get through this' part is understandable. The 'can't get through' part... The ones whom he cares for and the ones who care for him... Who is the one he was talking about? 'Too young', 'haven't been through anything that...' What was he talking about? Could it be... Could it be me?]

She suddenly felt the accompaniment of gongs and drums in her mind, and her heart nearly beat out from her chest. She felt shyness, happiness and sweetness at the same time. She tried her best to humph strongly in case she got ludicrous, and then she spoke like a peevish child, ”Oh, come on. This has nothing to do with me, I guess... Oh, you are just talking nonsense again... Come on! I am leaving. I won't hear your balderdash. You are so annoying~!”

She then stood up and literally skipped to the door.

But in fact, she looked like she was... escaping!
