66. Rain Within the Heart Part 2
Her eyes, blurring Jing Yunxi’s vision. She could only wipe them away silently in a voiceless cry. Her tears fell and shattered like her hope to meet Hua Fei, the one she adored. ‘This sorrow feels like an endless nightmare in the dark of night. This longing is more bitter than bile. Yet the wall between us is so strong and arrogant.’ Jing Yunxi wept quietly in her heart as she walked under the cruel gaze of Jing Yue behind her back. Meanwhile, behind another wall, Hua Fei stood tall like a frozen statue. There was a trace of disappointment on his handsome face, along with helplessness. In the end, he could only lower his head in sadness. Beside Hua Fei, a man in a blue robe gently patted his shoulder. “There are things more important than a woman, and you must be able to choose between them.” “Ah Fei understands, Uncle.” Hua Fei gave a faint, bitter smile. “Prepare to leave,” Hua Yan said as he walked away. “Yes, Uncle.” Hua Fei responded with a respectful bow even though his u
65. Rain Within the Heart
“Aunt, do you have any way out of this problem?” Jing Yunxi’s eyes suddenly gleamed with hope. “Of course there is. But this is a matter for the elders, something that can only be discussed among them. You all no longer need to concern yourselves with it.” From the tone of her voice, Jing Yue seemed to be deliberately emphasizing something. Jing Yunxi suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable anxiety. Her heart winced in pain. ‘What is Aunt Yue really planning? Why am I the one feeling so uneasy thinking about it?’ “Does that mean the compensation and the gifts are also accepted?” Elder Luo asked, full of hope. He didn’t want his master to be disappointed and scold him later. The corner of Jing Yue’s lips curved upward before she answered. She waved her hand. “No. Take all of it back, including the Blood Ringed Snake. There’s no point in it staying here any longer.” “But...” Elder Luo wanted to say something, but Jing Yue immediately cut him off. “I appreciate all of your responsib
64. Compensation Part 2
Jing Yunxi lowered her head. Her hands unconsciously gripped the edge of her red sash. The girl felt deeply guilty about the whole situation. After all, it was her guards who had killed all the snakes belonging to Jing Ling and Hua Fei. “I’m actually the one at fault for this. I’m the reason they failed to qualify for the poison class advancement.” Jing Yunxi bowed her head even lower. Jing Yanxi glanced sideways at his sister, feeling annoyed. Even though he had intercepted Jing Ling and Hua Fei, he hadn’t killed a single snake. “That foolish girl is nothing but trouble!” Jing Yanxi cursed inwardly. Fortunately, Elder Luo spoke up immediately. “Madam Yue, on behalf of the entire Jing Family, I sincerely apologize for everything that has happened. Master Jing Cheng didn’t intend to avoid coming himself, but he had something urgent that needed his attention. Therefore, he asked me to come in his place.” Jing Yue folded her arms across her chest. “Oh, so you’re saying the matter wi
63. Compensation
Jing Yanxi clenched the fabric covering his knees. The young man felt completely torn and furious when he recalled the incident. He was utterly powerless against the threat posed by his father, Jing Cheng. “If that damn old man hadn't threatened me with the most terrifying thing, there's no way I would have apologized to that traitorous brat Jing Ling,” Jing Yanxi grumbled inwardly in frustration. "Now, let's take a look at the belongings you've brought!" Jing Yue’s voice snapped Jing Yanxi out of his daze. Startled, Jing Yanxi’s body jolted slightly, causing a sudden disarray in his chest. "Oh, of course, Aunt!" he responded quickly, his heart still pounding. The young man then waved at the guards. "Bring all the items here!" "Yes, Young Master!" six guards of the Jing Family responded in unison. They immediately followed their young master's command, opening the lids of the wooden boxes one by one, each revealing rather valuable items. "Please inspect them, Aunt Yue." Jing Y
62. Jing Yanxi’s Powerlessness Part 2
Jing Cheng didn’t answer. Instead, he simply put down the tea cup he had just sipped a few times. The man took something out from inside the wide sleeve of his hanfu robe and tossed it directly toward Jing Yanxi. Jing Yanxi swiftly caught the item his father had thrown and immediately unrolled the pale yellow paper scroll, reading the contents that made his chest feel like it was about to explode. “Declaration Letter,” Jing Yanxi began reading. “I, as the head of the Jing Family, with full authority over all family decisions, hereby declare that I will send my firstborn son to serve under the Zhao Family as a young hostage for ten years. I relinquish all responsibility over Jing Yanxi, my son, to the aforementioned family and will not interfere in any matter concerning the young hostage for the next ten years.” “Father, what is this? This isn’t right! How could you do this to me?” Jing Yanxi immediately threw the paper onto the table, then began pacing back and forth, confused, ang
61. Jing Yanxi’s Powerlessness
Jing Yunxi was utterly shocked by Jing Yanxi’s behavior. She even turned her head instinctively, her eyes wide with disbelief. The girl hoped that her ears weren’t playing tricks on her or that she wasn’t mishearing things—but this was far too impossible to believe. “Brother, did I mishear you? Weren’t you just angry and saying you didn’t want to go in?” Jing Yunxi turned around and looked at Jing Yanxi in disbelief. Elder Luo was so confused he didn’t know what to say. “This is...” Silently, Jing Yanxi cursed his clueless younger sister in his heart. What a foolish girl! If he acted rudely toward Jing Yue, did she think anyone would dare go against that woman? “Aunt Yue, please ignore what she said. I am truly sincere in apologizing for all my mistakes three days ago. In addition to compensation for the snakes, we also brought many gifts as a form of our apology.” Jing Yanxi pointed toward all the items they had brought for Hua Yan’s residence. “Yanxi hopes Aunt will be willin
