Chapter 228: That One Moment of Stare (2/2)

Wei Yuan took a glance at Rui Bing, who was pondering with her head lowered, ”It seemed like…” Whispered Wei Yuan by Rui Su’s ears, ”That… the mech seemed to be … well, the brother-in-law of Sister Bing…I saw it before…” It was already a common sense for the Ruis to know the relationship between Rui Bing and Ye Chong. Whenever the great guy was mentioned, Wei Yuan loved to address him as the ”brother-in-law”, while Rui Su would call him ”my future brother-in-law”. The nicknames were rather gimmicky sometimes but Madam Rui was helpless on her daughter’s marital relationship, knowing her daughter’s personality, her daughter would execute whatever she had decided.

”Ah!” Rui Su screamed then she quickly covered her mouth. Her expressive eyes were telling skepticism. A moment of silence, and her sister remained stoned, ”Yuan, you sure?” she whispered into Wei Yuan’s ears, she was unconvinced.

”Hmph, no way I would get it wrong. My brother-in-law saved me with that mech, how could I have mistaken it?” angered Wei Yuan, as his wholehearted statement was being suspected by Rui Su.

Rui Bing’s head was all upon the floor. A hint of sadness rose in her heart for some reason. Was it… the greatest distance between us…? Or was it the silent most farewell? She was dumbfounded.

”Heh… my future brother-in-law is great in fact, for he knows how to protect us,” Rui Su’s voice rang by her ears.

”No way, how would brother-in-law know our whereabouts? Probably he just happened to be there and well, being a hero, he did so-”

”Shhhhhh!” Interrupted Rui Su, all disdainful, ”Well, being a hero? What do you think your brother-in-law was? He was the cruel and cold kind from the beginning. Hmph, if there was not anything here worthy of his protection, how would he have done it? Stop joking!” stated Rui Su, based on her past experience dealing with this indifferent beast named Ye Chong.

”Don’t insult my brother-in-law!” rampaged Wei Yuan. ”What do you say?” shouted Rui Su. And they began quarreling.

Rui Bing’s soulless eyes suddenly lighted up a warm glow. Was he there… for me? The Coxcomb had always been flying at the side wings like a royal knight in escort… It does feel like…

Rui Bing who lacked the experience of such situation was of course mesmerized by this feeling, like a young girl she was.

But then her worries upon Ye Chong’s safety overtook her strange infatuation.

But what could I do? Rui Bing was quiet. And there the couple was, passing by the shoulders, touched yet unspoken again, when in the century, the decade would they mean again?

”But…” She tried to speak, but the words choked her. Her eyes were filled with bewildered fear and then were replaced by faith and optimism.

Rui Bing recovered her indifference, as she made the leap, right onto the center of the quarrel, and lifted the two fighting animals, dragged to the resting room where Grandpa Qian and Madam Rui stayed.

”Sister Bing! It was Sister Su who…” Wei Yuan felt embarassed.

”Bing Bing, don’t listen to that Yuan. You know your sister, don’t you? Sigh, my good little Bing Bing, would you spare your sister and put her down…” The strange gazes from the other passengers were more than pressuring to Rui Su despite her shameless nature.

The happening on the fleet was not something Ye Chong had leisure to deal with, as his eyes were all focused upon the flock of mechs before him.

About 20 dark mechs left in the field, waving their lingering aggression being the war units being all short of arms and legs from the effect of the Liquid of Shang. But they reacted quickly as they disengaged their limbs before the liquid expanded.

One could see the success of the Beauty’s Secretion being the tool for assassination.

Thorn the lord of the Black Coves was more than angry, as there was such terrible casualty under his lead, the first incident to taint his perfect records. Never once he would expected the foe would wield such diabolical weapon while being able to avoid detection.

Ye Chong’s glare carried on… and he distinguished one really different mech among the uniform mechs. And that was the mech who burst the incoming Beauty’s Secretion with a single sting on his short alloy spear. Judging by his skill, the foe should be no novice.

That was not it. What was giving Ye Chong a loud thump in his heart was the mech.

It was the very first time he came across such model among the Black Covers.
