Chapter 373 – Jade Lake’s Fairy (5)
With an expression of self-blame and feeling guilty until she almost cried, she said: “Miss Su, are you in the midst of blaming me? But I am truly concerned about you, how could you say such things about me?”
Su Luo also didn’t expect that the kind of noble, virtuous and icily arrogant Jade Lake’s Fairy she had first met back then, would in a split second, change into a lovely, pitiful, delicate, white lotus flower. She couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up in her heart.
She really could act, her performance was truly great.
Look at that lovely, pitiful, little appearance, it was a much better act when compared to Lan Xuan and their performance earlier. If Lan Xuan and them had this kind of acting skills, not to say one hundred Amethyst Thorned fishes, even one thousand fishes, she would present it to them without blinking an eye.
The Jade Lake’s Fairy was still not finished, her slender fair hand tugged at Nangong Liuyun’s sleeves with an appealing-for-fairness-and-justice manner: “Third senior brother, you say, just a moment ago, what I said, isn’t it truly because I was concerned about Miss Su? I really didn’t expect that her inner heart would be this weak. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
Nangong Liuyun merely looked at her with an indifferent smile and didn’t speak a word.
“Third senior brother, why don’t you say something? Only you can get back justice for me.” Delicate as a white lotus flower, that pair of beautiful eyes was misty with tears. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, everyone would believe that she had suffered endless times of being wronged.
Su Luo raised an eyebrow, with a ghost of a smile, she cast a sidelong glance at Nangong Liuyun. She really wanted to see what kind of justice Nangong Liuyun would deal out.
Yet, Nangong Liuyun still hadn’t stepped forth to declare his position before another man, that had stood by the Jade Lake’s Fairy’s side since the beginning, stepped out. He glared threateningly at Su Luo with an imposing manner.
The double-edged sword in his hand suddenly thrust out.
“Dare to be disrespectful to Yaoyao, courting death!”
Li Aotian’s voice was proud and coldly detached, his longsword was even more sinister and bone-chilling. It showed no quarter as it thrust towards Su Luo’s throat.
Nobody would have anticipated that Li Aotian actually said he would take action, and immediately did just that. Moreover, he went straight for a killing maneuver.
Also, what kind of person was Li Aotian? He was Jade Lake Palace’s younger generation’s number two master expert, now, he was already at the sixth rank, merely one short rank below Nangong Liuyun, and nothing more.
The ice-cold long sword thrust towards Su Luo’s throat, relentlessly——
Su Luo’s eyes were as serene as water.
Nangong Liuyun, will you look on unfeelingly as I fall in a pool of blood?
The corner of Su Luo’s mouth lifted into a fireworks kind of desolate smile.
Just when the longsword was at a distance about a hand’s width from Su Luo’s throat, all of a sudden, a fine, white finger with distinct joints, abruptly appeared, and lightly flicked that longsword. Immediately, that imposing and threatening longsword unexpectedly twisted to the side, cleanly brushing pass Su Luo’s slim neck.
“Nangong Liuyun!” Li Aotian, utterly discomfited, glared at Nangong.
He didn’t expect that Nangong Liuyun would take action at the very last second.
Hadn’t Yaoyao already pulled to stop him? Wasn’t he already intimate with Yaoyao to the point that nothing could come between them?
Nangong Liuyun slowly stood up, his sideways glance meeting up with the Jade Lake’s Fairy’s gaze. The corner of his mouth was hooked into an extremely weird smile, he reached out his hands to brush his sleeves. He easily flicked away the Jake Lake’s Fairy’s hand that was wrapped around his arm with not the least bit of tenderness, directly and efficiently.
The Jade Lake’s Fairy looked in astonishment at her comforting hand that was just removed, in a daze, she stared fixedly at Nangong Liuyun: “Third senior brother…”
“Uhm.” Nangong Liuyun unhurriedly walked to Su Luo’s side and stood side by side with her. He smiled a smile that was yet not one at the Jade Lake’s Fairy. He then raised an eyebrow and smilingly said, but his tone was deeply cold: “It’s good that you still remember I am your third senior brother.”
“Third senior brother…” The Jade Lake’s Fairy took a step forward, wretchedly looking at this figure that led her soul around in a dreamlike state.
“Remember it, I will forever be your third senior brother, but it is only this single identity to you.” Nangong Liuyun held Su Luo’s hand and pulled it up.
