Chapter 223 223; Brother, We Could Have Saved Her
The Innkeeper walked away to check if there were any available and vacant rooms.
"Oohhh this? They are mere pennies." The people who were still in the hall turned around to look at the labeled pennies and felt a pinch seeing so much money while they had a few coins to survive on.
"Ohhh pennies you say!" He raised his eyebrow remarking cheekily.
The innkeeper came back, "there are two vacant rooms on the left side." He reported eying them sneakily.
"All right, let's go and see it." She stood up as Bai Yun tagged behind her, acting like a young Master she held her dress uptight.
They took the stairs up to the first floor and walked to their left side before arriving at two adjacent doors.
She opened one door while Bai Yun opened the other one as everyone went in to check out on their room.
It was good and comfortable, she nodded her head on the innkeeper before closing the door.
Bai Yun walked to the door to wish her good night but what greeted him was a closed door, he lightly shook his head before walking into his room and closing it.
"Sigh! My dear brother Bai Chang, you have a long road ahead of you, she really is cold and unfeeling." He prayed for his brother after all there wasn't anything better than seeing him living happily.
He laid down on the bed contemplating what to do, after all that mountain was danger was lurking in every corner, you had to be careful with every step you took.
Lin Wei freshened up before sitting down to meditate, she felt the warm air was peaceful for her inner peace of mind, and cultivating a calm mind was very important.
In the Ming Kingdom, after sleeping for quite some time, he left good and refreshed, he woke up as he walked out of the bedroom and sat down in the living room.
The maids hurriedly served him as Wang Yike also woke up and being assisted by a bodyguard he sat down in the living room just opposite his brother.
"Brother..." He weakly called him, Bai Chang raised his head and looked at him before nodding his head before lowering it to continue eating.
Wang Lin never grew up in the Palace and very few people knew him, Bai Chang wasn't surprised by his cold shoulder, he has always been like this.
He didn't mind him as he began eating slowly while the maids stood just nearby awaiting for more instructions, Wang Lin was a prince and so was Wang Yike.
Suddenly they saw a bloodied woman staggering into their direction.
"Help me.. please help me.." she pleaded for help as she continued staggering before falling down just three steps near them.
Her clothes were all dyed red as they tattered, she didn't have any shoes, her hair looked shabby as her face had several cuts and disfigured.
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the woman, he recognized her at once but went on eating, he remembers Lin Wei had once rescued her but she was ungrateful even denying being Jun Wu Xue's mother.
"I'm Jun Wu Xue's mother, please save me... I'm begging you.. please save me.." When she saw they weren't doing anything she weakly spoke out again.
"Soldiers take her away, your security is lacking, stop letting in just anybody inside in here... What if it was danger?" Wang Lin's cold voice resonated, he was hostile and ruthless.
He didn't give her a second look, she didn't deserve help in anyway.
Wang Yike flinched nervously as he looked at his brother, he wanted to help her but also knows he might be risking his life again.
"Please help me.. I will tell you everything that I know..." Before she could finish up, an arrow was short and hit her neck vein killing her instantly.
Wang Lin raised his eyes in surprise, there was actually someone who has intruded into this place with so many soldiers guarding all over the corners.
"Bury her..." That was his last words before he went on with eating.
Wang Yike never thought his brother could be this cold and unfeeling, he thought he will a little bit of sympathy.
"Brother, we could have actuallysaved her... She has the information we need." He lightly remarked.
" Saved her? That's inviting unnecessary troubles, I have urgent matters I'm taking care of right now, so I don't have time to deal with other things, my Mistress's orders are my first priority, you better concentrate on getting well just in case things get messy, I wouldn't need to carry two people.." he was unfeeling and cold, everything else didn't matter to him apart from his Mistress's orders.
Wang Yike felt cold and his heart constricted, he knew he was saying the truth, if he didn't get well soon, he will be a burden to him and more so him not being his first priority.
He felt chill as goosebumps crawled all over his skin and lightly shivered, Wang Lin noticed his strange behavior.
"If you are feeling cold, go outside and sit down on the sun to bask, unless you want to catch a cold." He coldly remarked as he stood up and went into Bai Chang's room.
Wang Yike signaled the soldiers to assist him in getting outside to bask, he needed to calm down his overly tensed emotions.
He got inside the room as he sat down beside him on the bed before he began cleaning him as he wiped his body.
On the bed he laid there calmly, it still didn't hide his noble birth and superiority.
"Does she like you or she is doing out of gratitude?" He lightly murmured as he wiped him, it wasn't in his place to know his Mistress's way of thinking.
He finished up before tucking him in well before going back to his room and began meditating.
Wang Yike sat outside in the garden basking as he thought of wild thoughts that were crazily racing through.
"I wonder how things will turnout.." he lightly sighed looking at the bright shining sun.
In the Qing Kingdom, Jun Wu Xue had finished up eating when she cleaned her hands, Xie also finished as they walked into the training grounds, tagging behind them was Fei.
"Xiao Xue.. what do you plan on doing here?" Xie inquired curiously as they walked forward.
" I will start training of course, I need to be a little bit stronger atleast be very versed with arrow shooting or horse riding." She merrily responded as she skipped around.
" Horse riding? Arrow shooting? Are you certain Xiao Xue?" She inquired curiously intrigued, it wasn't bad to learn those two protective aspects.
"Of course I know what I want to do." She scornfully replied.
