The Romance of Oblivion:Past Lifetimes

Chapter 131: Longing Chulian

Xiang Zihui halted in his steps just when the door opened, the harmonious sight before him caused his eyes to be full of rage. Nian Feng is laughing lightly while feeding Zhao Chulian with peeled fruits, she would often lament at how slow he sliced each. It took Xiang Zihui a while to calm down, he smiled deviously and entered the room.

"The two of you look close. If outsiders were to see, they might mistake it as couples flirting." his voice is light without a trace of emotion, Nian Feng immediately stopped and knelt to pay his respect but Xiang Zihui ignored him. He sat beside the nervous Zhao Chulian, letting out a complacent chuckle. "All of you, leave."

Yun Ren Xie bit her lip, the extreme fear filled her heart that she cant think straight. She is usually arrogant and brave but this Xiang Zihui's presense can easily tear down her defensive wall, making her shrink back like a coward prey.

"Zhao Chulian, just tell me and I'd grant it." Xiang Zihui stared at the girl whose eyes were tightly shut. He raised his hand to lift her chin, the girl's body tensed from one light touch. Really, just how much does she fear him?

"B-Brother Zihui...." she doesnt have any slightest clue of what he is trying to say. Zhao Chulian's relationship with him is just like how siblings should be but after that accidental consummation, she knew both of their views have changed. The original Zhao Chulian would have been glad that her chastity is given to Xiang Zihui since in the first place, infatuation is in her heart but the feeling grew stronger after Yun Ren Xie transmigrated. As for Xiang Zihui, he is still cold likewise but his concerns escalated to a new level where even a simple bruise will make him anxious.

"If you like Nian Feng, just tell me. If you wish to marry him, you can still tell me. I will grant it." Xiang Zihui's word made her open her eyes wide, just what is happening?

Too pitiful, too pitiful, ah. Zhao Chulian had loved the wrong person for a lifetime. Even if Yun Ren Xie doesnt know about her host's whole lifetime, the genuine feelings that isn budding inside is something she is familiar with. How can Xiang Zihui be this heartless? First, he doted on her, making Zhao Chulian feel loved. Second, he took her chastity without any thoughts of responsibilities he should burden with her. And lastly, he is willing to marry her off to another man. Only if Zhao Chulian is still alive, she would have gone mad and commit suicide, an ancient girl's heart is more fragile than the modern one's like Yun Ren Xie.

A flash of remorse invaded her previous empty red eyes, Xiang Zihui caught a glimpse of it before the emotions were gone. "Brother Zihui, Ah Lian wants to sleep." she stood up, Yun Ren Xie tried to find her way towards the bed when Xiang Zihui supported her. Scent of sweet wisteria invaded her nostrils, the hundred sorrows were swiftly calmed by him in one second.

Xiang Zihui sat at the bedside, he leaned on the pillar while crossing his arms. With unreadable purple eyes, he stared at the sleeping Zhao Chulian, their even breathing were mixed inside the silent room.

Is he being too cold at her?

Minutes of contemplating, he lowered himself and planted a gentle kiss on Zhao Chulian's forehead. "Ah Lian, forgive me." Xiang Zihui softly said as he caressed her hair. No matter what, Zhao Chulian must live a normal life in the future, while he should secretly support her. Even if she will have someone by her side, he can do everything to give a carefree life to her. Xiang Zihui knew well they can never be together. The curse of nine incarnations are still there so he can only restrain himself.

Yun Ren Xie opened her eyes when she heard the disappearing footsteps of him. He just kissed her? Unbelievable! If Xiang Zihui does have even the slightest bit of affection for Zhao Chulian, then why marry her off? She furrowed her brows before turning to another side, Shen Xian Hua thinks the same too! He is planning to engage Xiao Bai Xue back then, and now Xiang Zihui is following the same path as him! Just what is in their thoughts?

"Senior System? Can you check Xiang Zihui's percentage of liking me?"

A beeping sound echoed in her head for a few seconds before System answered. "Host, Xiang Zihui's data... Im unable to find out."

"That's strange......"

Inside the modern room, a man that resembles Jiang Yi Huai is pacing back and forth. System's yellow iris flashed a cold light, he cant see through two men in this novel. Xiang Zihui and Jiang Yi Huai, they were for sure, reincarnated immortals. System halted in his steps, the large screen before him showed Xiang Zihui and Jiang Yi Huai's image.

He went closer to the screen where Jiang Yi Huai's movements are being monitored, System's lips were pressed together as his thoughts are getting vexed. "It cant be." he whispered to himself while observing Jiang Yi Huai who is reading something. "Are you my past lifetime?"

On the other side, Jiang Yi Huai placed the medicinal book on top of the table. Its been a whole day of researching and he has found where the immortal pill is. Without any hesitation, he changed his clothes to a dark suit before mingling in the darkness outside. His moves were quick and hard to spot, even a martial arts expert like Ying Zheng cant catch up but Xiang Zihui can easily overshadow him.

Jiang Yi Huai lifted his dark mask that covered half of his face, he is alert and watched every move of guards that were patrolling around Prime Minister Li Manor. His hair that were tied by a black headpiece, swayed gracefully.

A guard stopped in his track before raising his head, he felt something is off at the neighbor's roof. However, it was already too late since Jiang Yi Huai successfully infiltrated the manor, his target is the master of the household, Li Si.

Inside a silent courtyard, a man wearing loose white robes is sitting inside a pavilion, on his hands were a light blue satchel with flower embroideries. He took out a pair of earing, its pink dull lotus shape were exquisitely carved out of life.

"My guess is right." Jiang Yi Huai suddenly spoke, the man turned his head and shocked to see another person inside his courtyard. He is leaning on a pillar, head is low down but the smile under his dark veil is visible since the moon is under his favor.

"How did you get in? And who are you." Li Si gripped the satchel tighter, the man before him, for sure is dangerous. He is surprised how Jiang Yi Huai came in without being noticed or.... the man has disposed his hidden guards.

"Silenced those hidden guards, as for who I am...." Jiang Yi Huai strode towards Li Si, he saw a glint of silver hidden beneath Li Si's sleeves.

His step halted, standing two meters away from Li Si. He removed the veil that is covering his face. "You and I are one."
