Chapter 286 : A Rose Wedding 12 (2/2)

‘There’s no way I’m concerned about her. This matter just doesn’t have anything to do with her in the first place, so there’s no need to implicate her.’

“Since you aren’t concerned about me, whether I leave or not makes no difference to you.” Shi Sheng spoke with a solemn expression.

“Mi Nai.” Xi Yin’s tone turned heavy.

The atmosphere between them suddenly turned delicate.

The noise coming from outside had also quieted down for some reason. It was as if the whole world had turned silent.

……

Du Jue hurried over with his entourage. They first negotiated with the police about entering first. Although the police found it odd, since they had received orders from their superiors, they still allowed Du Jue and co in.

Du Jue rushed into the classroom Shi Sheng and Xi Yin were in. The moment he saw them, his pupils shrunk.

“Xi Yin…” ‘Why is he here?! Wasn’t he supposed to be in hibernation at this time?’

He’d never met Xi Yin, but the Du Clan held records that contained photographs of him. According to those records though, Xi Yin shouldn’t have woken up for another century at least.

‘Why is he here now?’

Xi Yin shifted his gaze away from Shi Sheng to land on the man in the doorway, gold shimmering in his eyes.

“From the Du Clan?”

“Yes.” Du Jue bit the bullet and answered.

He then caught sight of Shi Sheng, who was standing beside Xi Yin. His heart leapt. ‘Is she acquainted with Xi Yin? One Pure Blood is already hard to deal with, but now Xi Yin’s added to the mix…’

In his ancestors’ memoirs, they stated that Xi Yin was a very strange vampire. He wasn’t a Pure Blood, yet he possessed power greater than any Pure Blood. And he seemed to have lived a very long time.

The records traced back to a thousand years ago.

“Ha…” Xi Yin scoffed inscrutably.

If it were regular humans he had to deal with, it might have been a bit troublesome. But since these people were from the BHA, it was much easier to resolve.

Du Jue grit his teeth and told himself he couldn’t afford to offend Xi Yin. His tone couldn’t help but weaken. “Lord Xi Yin, may I know why you are here?”

“Studying.” It seemed Xi Yin was giving face to someone, for he actually answered the question.

Du Jue, “…” ‘You’ve already lived for so long, why would you want to study? Okay, he’s a bigshot. I can’t offend him…’

“I had received news that there were vampire attacks on humans…” Du Jue did his best to make himself sound humbler. His eyes fell to the corpse on the floor. “Lord Xi Yin, can you please explain?”

Xi Yin’s eyes narrowed and he spoke in a ridiculing voice, “Did the Du Clan die out, causing you to be unaware of the rules?”

Only now did Du Jue realise what he had just said. Cold sweat drenched his back. Even if his grandfather were here, he probably wouldn’t have dared to make Xi Yin explain anything.

“Du Jue spoke improperly.” Though he felt anger inwardly, Du Jue could only suppress it. He definitely couldn’t afford to offend this man.

Du Jue’s humble attitude baffled the people who had followed him in. ‘Who’s that man?’

Du Jue took a deep breath. “Then may we have a look at the body?”

Du Jue’s gaze drifted over to Shi Sheng, as if wanting to confirm whether or not she had anything to do with Xi Yin.

‘If she doesn’t…perhaps I can make use of Xi Yin to capture her. She killed so many of my men the last time. This grudge has already been planted!’

But Du Jue was destined to be disappointed. He watched as Shi Sheng retreated a step and naturally interlocked her arm with Xi Yin’s. The latter merely frowned slightly but didn’t fling her aside.

Du Jue, “!!?”

‘Since when did these two get together?! This doesn’t make any sense!’

Her arm linked with Xi Yin’s, Shi Sheng’s fingers wound around his. She lifted her head slightly. “I didn’t expect your thigh to be so thick! Lemme hug it!”

‘Even Du Jue, this lunatic, is so scared of him. He hasn’t let down his status as a villain!’

Xi Yin pinched her misbehaving hand and pursed his lips, giving Shi Sheng a haughty expression.

“Lord Xi Yin…” Du Jue appeared even more careful.

‘Mi Nai is actually this intimate with Xi Yin! It appears that the matter from last time can’t be pursued any more…’

“Just a corpse, go look if you want. If it’s not enough, I can make several more for you. Fresh ones too.” Shi Sheng butted in before Xi Yin could speak.

Du Jue’s eyes flashed. He remembered from the records his ancestors left behind that Xi Yin despised other people voicing opinions on his behalf. ‘Mi Nai’s brash conduct might cause Xi Yin to despise her.’
