BXBX NOVEL Chapter 346 - A Storm of Jealousy
The turbulent fluctuations of mid-July had passed completely.
July 21st.
There were still ten days to go from the final maneuver.
Li Tianlan did not return to Sky Academy. Instead, he went directly to East Emperor Palace on the outskirts of the city.
The wind blew over late at night in Huating. It seemed that rain was coming. In the whole Huating, it could be said to be a quite colorful glass palace. The glass palace was silent in the night, quiet and cold. The security guard at the entrance of East Emperor Palace opened the door, and the Audi car slowly entered East Emperor Palace. Lin Youxian looked the huge palace, mostly built by glass, in front of him and felt surprised.
The palace was exquisite and majestic, while the artificial lake around it was clear and sinuous. In the night, the glass and the light of the lake shone together, just like a lake directly rising in the sky as well as a palace built in the water. It floated out of the common world and had no trace of a mundane life.
“Good place.”
Lin Youxian smiled and said, “This is your home?”
“Yes.”
Li Tianlan nodded and smiled. “It’s just getting started. The appearance looks gorgeous. In fact, there is nothing concrete inside.”
“Nothing?”
Lin Youxian’s smile was weird. He was indeed a very good person, as casual as a person of no pursuit. Although it was not a long way from Lin’an to Huating, Li Tianlan already had some good feelings for him. He had such good strength but was too lazy to steal the show. He was the brother-in-law with the motto that one should be concerned about the people before oneself. Li Tianlan appreciated him very much.
Li Tianlan responded with a sigh of relief, but he saw Lin Youxian glance at Dongcheng Rushi and be gloating on the face.
He looked at Dongcheng Rushi with a somewhat inexplicable look.
Dongcheng Rushi stood next to Li Tianlan, looked up, and gazed at the glass palace in front of her.
Following her gaze, a beautiful figure seemed to be faintly standing behind one open window on the top of the glass palace.
The moment Li Tianlan saw her, the open window was closed. Then the entire palace was lit with lights. The lights were illuminating from the inside out, falling on the artificial lake in front of several people. The sparkling lake and the bright palace were like a dream.
“Brother-in-law, who is this inside?”
Lin Youxian laughed and felt that this calling of brother-in-law was really ridiculous.
Li Tianlan coughed as if he was answering Lin Youxian’s problems. However, his eyes fell on Dongcheng Rushi.
“It’s Yuetong,”
he said simply.
Wang Yuetong had been living in Huating for a long time. She had stayed in the hotel for two days. Later, she had moved directly to East Emperor Palace. The little princess, who had just turned from a girl to a woman, was very sticky. Some time ago, no matter what Li Tianlan had been doing, she had been basically making a phone call every a short time. But since Li Tianlan had gone to Lin’an, Wang Yuetong had never called or even sent a text message.
However, she still stayed here. It was enough to illustrate the problem.
Li Tianlan’s eyes were quietly warm.
“I know her.”
Dongcheng Rushi nodded as she spoke softly.
Li Tianlan thought she would continue to say something. After Dongcheng Rushi’s words, she said no more. So was it a vague attitude? There was no attitude at all. Li Tianlan suddenly felt a headache and subconsciously pictured the scene after Dongcheng Rushi meeting with Wang Yuetong.
The gate of the palace opened.
Wang Yuetong stood at the door and bathed in crystal light. She wore a white robe and looked a little lazy, charming.
Dongcheng Rushi quietly stretched her little hand onto Li Tianlan’s hand.
Li Tianlan was helpless. He took Dongcheng Rushi’s hand and whispered, “Just go in.”
“I’ll just turn around.”
Lin Youxian laughed and whispered, “I like being with people. But I have no interest in scenes of domestic violence. This place is good. I’ll just stroll around. Don’t worry about me.”
Li Tianlan whispered and cursed with, “F*cking domestic violence”, and took Dongcheng Rushi to the door.
Wang Yuetong stood quietly in front of the door. Her eyes were full of emotions. She was somewhat uneasy, a little panicked, and dodging.
Dongcheng Rushi calmly looked at the engraved picture on the marble column at the entrance of the palace. She said nothing.
“Why have you not called me these days?”
Li Tianlan whispered, “I thought you were back to Youzhou.”
Wang Yuetong shook her head subconsciously, whispering, “If I go back to Youzhou, will I not see you in the future?”
“How come?”
Li Tianlan shook his head and reached out her palm to touch Wang Yuetong’s hair. His voice was warm. “Do you know everything about Lin’an?”
Wang Yuetong bit her lip and said nothing.
She was the little princess of Behai’s Wang family, but she could not represent anyone. Even she could not say sorry to Li Tianlan.
This position, which was uneasy and unspeakable, was the most embarrassing and heaviest.
Li Tianlan sighed and hugged Wang Yuetong in his arms.
He was still holding the hand of Dongcheng Rushi.
Or it could be said that he was pulled by Dongcheng Rushi, while his other hand was holding Wang Yuetong. His posture was a bit weird.
Wang Yuetong was silent.
Dongcheng Rushi was still studying the engravings from the masters on the pillars around her.
“Tianlan, don’t you blame me?”
Wang Yuetong held Li Tianlan tightly as she nervously spoke.
In the beginning, she had known the things that had happened in Lin’an almost the first time. Some of the sweet and happy thoughts had also been cast by a shadow. For a few days, Wang Yuetong had been counting the seconds. And now she suddenly felt a little relaxed from Li Tianlan’s hug.
“Why would I blame you?”
Li Tianlan spoke with a smile.
Wag Yuetong wished to say something, but she stopped.
The person in Invincible Realm, who had hurt Senior Li in Lin’an with a sword, was her biological father.
In the 20 years since the Li family’s failure, Beihai’s Wang family had shown the position on the surviving Li family the first time. Two families, which had once been intimate, had such sharp and obvious contradictions now.
“The things in Lin’an...”
Wang Yuetong was hesitant.
“The things in Lin’an have nothing to do with you.”
Li Tianlan calmly said, “That is the choice of the whole Wang family of Beihai. Yuetong, I don’t blame you. Because you can’t decide anything. But this doesn’t mean I won’t have any thoughts about the Wang family of Beihai. For your family and mine, no one should feel sorry or admit right or wrong. Since our positions are different and something like Lin’an has happened, I must write them down. To be honest, I don’t hate the Wang family of Beihai or your father. But since he chose to hurt the Li family, my counterattack will certainly not be peaceful in the future.”
He paused in tone, looked at Wang Yuetong, and continued. “As for you... I thought you would return to Youzhou without saying a word. If you really return to Youzhou, I will not blame you. If you still stay here, I will not blame you, either. If you, as a woman, can still insist on in the case of the Wang family of Beihai in opposition to the Li family, why should I, as a man, give up? I still have such a responsibility, at least. Otherwise, you really have a blind eye to choose the wrong person.”
“Really?”
Wang Yuetong raised her head in Li Tianlan’s arms, with tears in her eyes. It showed how much pressure and suffering she had suffered in the past few days.
“Of course it is true. You are my woman. If you don’t leave me, I will definitely not leave.”
Li Tianlan pinched the small nose of Wang Yuetong with adoration, and his movement was very light.
Dongcheng Rushi squeezed Li Tianlan’s hand hard, and the action was extremely heavy.
Li Tianlan’s palm hurt for a while, which reminded him of the daughter of the Dongcheng Clan beside him.
“Let me introduce.”
Li Tianlan daringly said, “This is Dongcheng Rushi. This is Wang Yuetong. You have never seen each other before, but you should have heard of each other.”
It was silent.
A cold encounter that made people’s scalps numb.
Wang Yuetong lay in the arms of Li Tianlan.
Dongcheng Rushi was holding the hand of Li Tianlan.
The two seemed to have not heard Li Tianlan’s words, and they were even too lazy to exchange the most basic polite words.
Li Tianlan thought of Qin Weibai subconsciously.
If she was here...
Li Tianlan thought about it, but he was really not sure what kind of scene would be if Qin Weibai was here.
He suddenly looked forward to that picture.
Li Tianlan stood for a while and saw the two people not talking. He sighed softly and just wanted to speak.
Dongcheng Rushi moved her palm.
Wang Yuetong stood up from Li Tianlan’s arms and said softly, “I am going to prepare you bath water. I want you to accompany me tonight. I have something to tell you.”
Her face glowed with a touch of blush. She whispered, “I’m ready there.”
The corner of Li Tianlan’s mouth moved as he took a deep breath. Before he still spoke, Wang Yuetong had already said, “There is a document in the study room. It is from Sky Academy. You can read it when you’re free.”
She turned directly to the bathroom.
Dongcheng Rushi still quietly looked at the flower-plant engravings on the marble column.
From the beginning to the end, Dongcheng Rushi and Wang Yuetong seemed to have ignored each other, and they never looked at each other face to face.
Was this not a storm of jealousy?
Wang Yuetong disappeared.
Dongcheng Rushi finally turned her head and looked at Li Tianlan.
The lights in the hall were illuminated at the door.
Her eyes were pure thorough.
“Will you be accompanying me tonight?”
Dongcheng Rushi looked at Li Tianlan with burning eyes.
She pinched Li Tianlan’s hand, turned her head, and whispered, “If you accompany me, I can do what I did for you at my sister’s house...”
Her voice was low and her face was flushed.
Dongcheng Rushi.
Wang Yuetong.
One was on the left, one on the right.
The left and the right were both temptations.
Li Tianlan almost collapsed. He forced himself to calm down and said helplessly, “I won’t go anywhere tonight. I’ll just meditate in the study.”
There were still 10 days from the final maneuver.
At this time, he really should seriously adjust his state.
Dongcheng Rushi gave a faint sigh.
Li Tianlan took her to the top floor and arranged a bedroom for Dongcheng Rushi next to his bedroom. The three bedrooms were close to each other. Li Tianlan’s was in the middle, Dongcheng Rushi’s was on the left, and Wang Yuetong’s on the right.
Lin Youxian’s bedroom was arranged next door to Yu Donglai’s.
The old man had been living there. He seemed to be meditating at that time, so Li Tianlan did not bother him.
After doing all this, Li Tianlan went to the study room downstairs.
The Sky Academy ducument that Wang Yuetong had mentioned was placed in the center of the desk.
She had said that it was a document, but it was actually just a letter.
Li Tianlan opened the envelope and read it with no expression.
He had read this letter a few days ago, not this one but that one from Dongcheng Rushi.
In addition to the relatively formal letters, all students who were eligible to receive this letter also received telephone calls from the teachers of the two academies.
Li Tianlan’s phone call was directed by Zhuang Huayang, the president of Sky Academy.
Today was July 21st.
At three o’clock on the afternoon of July 23rd.
The Kunlun City Governor, Gu Xingyun, would be accompanied by First Elder Gu Qianchuan to Huating. They would talk to the top 50 people in the total credits of the two academies.
All the maneuver contents, the order, and the rules would be fully announced.
Li Tianlan threw the letter on the table, sat in the chair, and closed his eyes.
He had no meditation.
He was sleeping.
It was the only fastest way to get him to his peak state now.
Sleeping was the way.
