Addicted To Boundlessly Pampering You Chapter 41

Chapter Forty One Broken

Water Pavilion's Second Courtyard, Study Room.

"Your Majesty, the Xue brothers have already begun to plan to attack tomorrow night. Everything will fall within Your Majesty's expectations."

The hidden guard's flattering didn't please Lan Sheng Ling's heart, instead he coldly laughed and with a heavy expression, he asked, "Has Xue Wushuang still not been captured?"

"This…" The hidden guard bowed his head and was unable to formulate a response.

"Subordinate is incompetent!"

"Can just saying you're incompetent settle the issue?" The pressure in the room suddenly amplified and the hidden guard struggled to breathe, so he secretly began used his internal force to resist the pressure.

"I'll give you another two day's time. If you still can't find Xue Wushuang before the two Xue brothers see through my plan, find a way to off yourself!"

"Yes, this subordinate definitely wouldn't bring disgrace to this one's life!"

Blue Snow Stronghold.

For the first time, the usually empty and s.p.a.cious main hall of the grand, white stronghold was filled full of white clothed emissaries. Everyone was neatly standing in the hall with solemn and grave expressions on their faces. And shockingly, the person sitting on the big chair with the fox fur coat was Mu Yalun. Right below him there were five white clothed elders and Zhuang Sheng.

They were headed by Mu Yalun, whose mild appearance, for the first time, wore a solemn expression. This time, a true crisis had occurred. Over these past few days, not only had there been strangers scouting out the place, yesterday night, many people even encircled the entire western door. He just simply didn't know when they had provoked such a difficult to deal with person, but according to Blue Snow Stronghold's power, they shouldn't be concerned about being unable to fend off against them. But, he didn't want the stronghold's tranquil atmosphere to be broken. Currently, emergency measures were imposed in the stronghold, creating an atmosphere that he didn't enjoy.

"I trust that everyone here knows that, as of late, Blue Snow Stronghold has been encircled. Although we have our barrier to protect us, we're still forced to be on guard. All white clothed snow guards must be on high alert at all times and must start patrolling at the entrance of the barrier. Don't let outsiders in!"

"Yes Master!"

Their voices all clearly rose up in unison. On each of the white clothed snow guards' faces was loyalty and firmness.

"Meeting adjourned, Elders please follow me to the conference hall."

"Young Master, although Blue Snow Stronghold has always held the senior position in martial arts circles, n.o.body has ever knew the exact location of our stronghold. Yet now, so many people have arrived at the western gate. It's obvious that there's a traitor within the stronghold who leaked out the secrets of our barrier." The one speaking was Elder Fu, the same one who captured Gu Weiyi that time. Currently, he was sitting to the side of the desk in one of the seats with a respectful and solemn face.

Although Mu Yalun didn't comment on his words, his mild features visibly creased in response. What the Elder said wasn't wrong, apart from the fact that there was a spy within the stronghold, how could outsiders know of the stronghold's secrets? But, who was this spy? There were so many people in the stronghold, it would be beyond their control to figure it out. Just who could this suspicious person be?

"As I see it, that Xue gongzi is definitely questionable, ah!" By the side, Zhuang Sheng resentfully opened his mouth to guess, which provoked Mu Yalun's angry gaze land on him.

"Shut up!" Mu Yalun tried his best to calm his sudden temper and said, "Zhuang Sheng, I don't wish to hear anymore slander coming from your mouth about Wushuang!" Even words that were just the smallest bit bad weren't allowed.

Zhuang Sheng's face whitened when he heard Mu Yalun's words. Ever since his Young Master met Xue gongzi, he had become a completely different person. In the past, his Young Master would never get angry, and on top of that, he would never raise or lower his voice at him. His Young Master was gentle and refined, he was amiable and tender toward anyone he met. Yet for that Xue gongzi he acted cold over and over again, even going as far as to want to commit murder for him. This type of Young Master wasn't the Young Master he was familiar with. This was all caused by that Xue Wushuang!

At the bottom of Zhuang Sheng's eyes, a flash of hatred quickly flitted across, but because his head was bowed, n.o.body saw it. And as the nearby Elder Fu watched the scene in front of him, a deep streak of happiness flashed through his eyes.

"Send someone to go find out who our opponent is and arrange for all of our white clothed emissaries to wait. I'm going to return first, we'll leave this matter how it is right now." Somewhat tiredly rubbing his forehead, Mu Yalun waved one of his hands and stood up to leave.

Outside, the scenery was exceptionally breathtaking. The sky was extremely blue and the clouds were especially white. Everything was just as beautiful as it had always been. But his mood was incapable of calming down. He didn't like Zhuang Sheng acting like that toward him (all the him's in this sentence are referencing Yi Yi), didn't like seeing him upset and frowning, and didn't like others slandering him. Various thoughts flooded his mind in no particular order, but they were all about him. That person was so simple and innocent, how could they be the spy? Let alone to say that he had been brought into the stronghold by himself and after entering, he hadn't left. Furthering this was the fact that he (Yi Yi) spent the greater part of his time, each day, pa.s.sing it by with himself (Mu Yalun). Where would he have the time to leak out secrets? Not only this, but since Wushuang had entered Blue Snow Stronghold, he hadn't once asked any questions pertaining to the stronghold's affairs. What intention would he have to go leak out Blue Snow Stronghold's secrets?

As he was walking, lost in his thoughts, he unconsciously walked over to the window that belonged to Gu Weiyi's room. Mu Yalun peeked inside and looked at the youngster who was currently whole-heartedly drawing something. His jade cut-like face was filled with concentration as he was drawing. His slender fingers danced above the rolled up paper and every once in awhile, he would still and tilt his head up with a gentle and longing smile hung on his face, as if he had recalling something. Then, he would look back down at his own drawing and either nod or shake his head. Currently, he looked like a simple beauty and busy child. This scene caused Mu Yalun to want to protect him even more fiercely, even to the point that he wouldn't hesitate to give up his life for him.

How strange it was that he, Mu Yalun, would have such thoughts toward a slender youth. But he was certain that he didn't have any other thoughts toward this youth. Although, even if his heart did have the slightest bit of pounding when he saw the youth, the wooden Mu Yalun wouldn't know what it meant either. Because he didn't have any dirty thoughts in his heart, perhaps the true simple person was him!

He didn't want him to be concerned, nor did he want him to feel guilty, so Mu Yalun deeply looked at him once more before turning around to silently leave.

And the person who was still earnestly drawing, using her thoughts to put stroke by stroke into her painting hadn't discovered anything. As before, she was still deeply immersed in her own world, with her heart and eyes filled full of love.

Yan Zhou, Western Door.

In the dark of the night, Xue Yunge's seductive figure dressed in purple clothes and Xue Zhuyue's pure, cold, lotus-like figure, dressed in green clothes, were silently standing atop the city's tall walls. From a distance, they silently surveyed the Western Door's poor people's district. As they watched, the undercurrent in their eyes surged up.

Que, dressed entirely in black clothes, silently appeared in front of them and respectfully said, "Masters can begin."

"After entering the stronghold, have the snow guards immediately start looking for Young Miss. If you come across any of the stronghold's people, don't kill them yet, try your best to avoid them. If any accident happens, I'll send out a signal. At that time, don't worry, act however you have to act!"

"Yes!"

After giving out their orders, the two figures promptly disappeared from the city wall, just like an arrow being shot from a bow. Soon after, Que, followed by twenty snow guards, also departed.

In the quiet night, the two slender, beautiful figures stood in front of the broken wall. Xue Yunge carefully examined his surroundings and exchanged a silent glance between Xue Zhuyue. After a long time, Xue Zhuyue finally opened his mouth, "Ge, it was right, it's a "hidden snow" barrier, the exact same as Ming Xue's."

"Don't worry about that right now, break it Yue!" Toward Xue Zhuyue, he nodded at him, indicating something. Soon after, the two people both took out a blue jade from the bosom. The blue jade was actually practically identical to the one that Mu Yalun used!

The two blue pieces of jade reflected a serene blue and fiery green light under the moonlight.
