Chapter 320: It’s not like He Is Faking It (2)
Qi Lan squinted at the box on the floor.
Those people from Yin family, seeing that Qi Lan dare not pick up the box, whispered to each other, “You see? Even Lord Qi Lan is afraid of master Rong. We better stay away from him.”
Others nodded approvingly.
Hearing their words, Qi Lan coldly glanced at them, picked up the box on the ground and left.
“Master...” Xinyue hurriedly followed up, “master, be careful.”
Qi Lan said, “Last time when he gave me the elixirs, you also said it may be a trap, but at last it cured my body injuries.”
Xinyue, “...”
“Rong Yi is not a fool and would not do anything to hurt me before so many people.”
After staying silent for a moment, Xinyue said, “Master, do you have any soft spot in their hands?”
Qi Lan did not make a sound, face sunk.
“I’m going to kill them.” while saying this, Xinyue turned around and left.
“This is Yin Mansion, what do you want?”
Xinyue then stopped.
“Come with me.” Qi Lan brought Xinyue to the room Old Lady Yin had arranged him in the mansion.
Seeing that Xinyue was about to open the box, Xinyue hurriedly stopped him.
Qi Lan said flatly “All right, don’t be paranoid. However capable he is, he could never kill me.”
Xinyue, “...”
Qi Lan opened the lid of the box, which contained a rectangular transparent crystal. He picked it up and looked at it, “Why did he give me a crystal?”
“Master, here is a note. It says, please transmit spiritual power into the crystal.” Xinyue snorted, “His words are really ugly.”
Qi Lan took a look at the note, lips upward, “Ugly indeed.”
He then transmitted his spiritual power into the crystal, and then it showed a beautiful woman, who gently called, “Lan’er.”
Qi Lan slightly froze there, “Mother?”
This is his mother.
Xinyue also felt thunderstruck, “It’s the old lady?”
“Hmm.” Qi Lan flashed a touch of excitement at the bottom of his eyes, tightly holding the crystal.
At this time, someone in the crystal stone also called mom, it was a child’s voice, but he could not see who it was.
Qi Lan said, “That is my childhood voice.”
He guessed that when in the memory tunnel, Rong Yi put his childhood memories inside the crystal.
Xinyue doubted, “How do we only hear the voice?”
Qi Lan did not respond to her words, looking at the crystal stone and the family in harmony, eyes slightly turning red. He had not seen his family for a long time, long enough that he nearly could not remember what his family looked like.
Seeing Qi Lan staring at the crystal with a gentle smile, Xinyue did not dare to disturb him, silently accompanying him aside, also smiling. Having served Qi Lan for many years, it was the first time he smiled like that.
She suddenly wanted to thank Rong Yi for sending such a nice gift to her master.
The crystal recorded a lot of things of Qi Lan’s childhood and his family. He watched and watched like a fool. Whenever the screen was on his family, he would use his thumb to gently touch it, reluctant to look away from each of their faces.
The last scene stopped on his last birthday, everyone was celebrating his birthday, his family all showed a happy bright smile.
As Qi Lan saw this, the corner of the mouth nearly linked to the corner of his eyes.
Suddenly, the picture turned and two people appeared, one was Rong Yi, the other was Rong Yi’s body.
Rong Yi said, “Senior brother, are you still satisfied with the gift we prepared? No need to guess, I know you will be very satisfied, so please, for the sake of our gift, don’t bother us again, please! I’d be very appreciated!”
Then Rong Yi and his body cupped their hands.
“Rong Yi...”Qi Lan pressed Rong Yi’s face with the thumb, then began to rub it, “Rong Yi...”
Xinyue cast a glance at Qi Lan. She found the two times the Lord called Rong Yi’s name was with different tones. The first time, it was filled with all hatred and resentment, while the second time it was with a trace of helplessness and some kind of indescribable feeling.
“Senior brother, it’s a deal.” Then Rong Yi and Rong Yi’s body disappeared before their eyes in the picture.
“Who agreed?” Qi Lan slightly snorted, “the more you don’t want me to trouble you, the more I will.”
Xinyue, “...”
Why didn’t she hear any hatred in his voice? It was more like a child pestering a mother for candy.
Qi Lan looked to the outside, frowning, “It’s already dark?”
He had been watching it for so long?!
“Is the family dinner over?”
“I don’t know.” Xinyue had been in the room with Qi Lan all the time, so she also did not know the situation outside, “It’s dark already, I’m afraid it’s already over.”
“That’s strange.” Qi Lan put the crystal into the storage ring, narrowed his eyes and said, “Today when the old lady introduced Rong Yi, why didn’t she tell he is Jinye’s partner?”
At that time the old lady simply introduced him as Rong Yi, another father of the children, and then nothing else. Besides, Yin Jinye also didn’t stand out to speak for him or introduce people Rong Yi was his partner.
If Yin Jinye really cared about Rong Yi, he should introduce him to everyone, after all, he even fought him for Rong Yi, there was no reason he didn’t say a word.
“What’s so strange about that?” Xinyue said, “My lord, didn’t you write a letter asking to be Lord Yin’s partner to the old lady? How would she have the heart to introduce Rong Yi to everyone in front of you? Besides, they didn’t get married.”
“Is that so?” Qi Lan still felt something was wrong about Yin Jinye’s attitude toward Rong Yi, he stood up, “Let’s go to thank Rong Yi for the gift.”
Xinyue, “...”
Qi Lan came to Yin Jinye’s yard.
As the guard in the yard outside saw him and was about to inform the lord, he already got knocked over by Qi Lan with his spiritual pressure.
Qi Lan directly went into the yard. The patrol guards saw it was Qi lan, they thought the guard outside had already informed the lord, so they did not stop Qi Lan, or go to inform Yin Jinye.
Qi Lan asked the patrolling guards, “Which room does Rong Yi live in?”
The guard replied, “In the same room with the lord.”
Qi Lan’s face fell. He saw that the candle in Yin Jinye’s study was on, so he made a detour and came to the other side of the room, secretly standing at the window to watch what was happening in the room.
Rong Yi and Rong Yi’s body had just come back from the hall, and they lay down on the bed and exhaled.
“Today is really terrible,” Rong Yi murmured. “I will never do such a thing again.”
Rong Yi’s body mocked, “I don’t know what you were afraid of, except that after the elders made trouble for you at the beginning, no one dared to disrespect you.”
“But they have terrible eyes.” Rong Yi clutched the collar of his chest. “They all looked down on me, despised me, I...”
Rong Yi’s body rolled his eyes, “You can’t blame them for that. Think about your performance today, even I despise you.”
“I, I...” As he spoke, Rong Yi began to sob again.
“Oh my ancestor, I beg you not to cry. Crying can’t solve any problem.”
Rong Yi wiped his tears, “But I can’t help it...”
Rong Yi’s body sat up and said, “If you keep crying, I will not help you to look for your senior brother.”
Rong Yi quickly wiped off his tears. “You can’t go back on your words.”
Standing outside, Qi Lan narrowed his eyes. Although he could not hear Rong Yi’s body since he was using sound transmission, from Rong Yi’s action and the way he talked, that couldn’t be that Rong Yi he knew.
