To Take You Away

( °□° )

Jing Yi's facial expression currently went like that. Patrick starfish's colossal expression(?)

Indeed, she knew that this would happen. But didn't it suppose to happen one month later after today? She was puzzled. This was obviously a rare occasion when her brain cells refused to work and wanted to boycott her intelligence. Somehow, she felt that someone was toying with her...

[Strange. Is this just accidental or intentional?], she thought. Her intuition kept telling her that something was definitely not right but she didn't know exactly what it was.

As if her face wasn't dumb enough, the next moments her stomach suddenly rumbled. She rigidly looked down toward that source of embarrassment.

"…"

Omedetou gozaimasu! She had successfully personified the legendary character of Patrick starfish…

Slap!

Jing Yi heard a crisp sound of slapping and looked upward.

"I forgot! You definitely have not eaten yet.", Lin feng Yu said as he slapped his forehead.

"…", looking at his redden forehead, Jing Yi was rendered speechless. Indeed, not everything had changed here. At least that forgetful character of his stayed unshakable. What a relief.

For now… let's gobble up that roasted chicken!

…

Jiang mansion. Study room.

Both men at the moment were having a staring contest. One was none other than "the eternal iceberg" Jiang Chen Lu. As for the other, was an elderly man who looked gaunt under his oversized cloak, Bu Zhidao.

Jiang Chen Lu, as if his facial muscles was made of steel fibers, wasn't the slightest showing any signs of losing. On the contrary, his opponent, proved to be not formidable enough, was already swaying like a wilted leaf blown by the winter wind.

Finally couldn't take it anymore, Bu Zhidao blinked several times and rubbed his sore eyes vigorously. He snarled, "Jiang Chen Lu! You still owe an explanation regarding this incident. My master already stated that he wouldn't wait anymore. That girl must go with this old man back to Ye clan. Today!"

[This Jiang Chen Lu is a very cunning man. His existence can't be tolerated anymore. For the sake of my master, I have to eliminate this eyesore sooner or later.], Bu zhidao had decided inside of his heart.

Even after hearing that, Jiang Chen Lu didn't show any reaction. His expression was still extraordinarily rigid, making all hair on that old man's neck stood up.

Bu Zhidao could feel that the air around Jiang head master had slowly turned cold. He started to shiver.

[As expected of master elementalist. Even after those years, his domineering aura didn't wane at all.]. Bu Zhidao, in spite of his 'bravery' just now, felt like weeping. He suddenly wanted to go back at once. Why should he be the one to come here, ah!

"Jiang Yi is currently under punishment.", Jiang chen Lu finally opened his mouth and spoke. "She also got injured. So, it is better for her to rest in her room until she recover. I have to trouble elder Bu about this matter."

Bu Zhidao immediately narrowed his eyes.

[Still with this excuse?]. Inside his heart, flame of anger flared up. If it were not for the power behind this Jiang family, the current headmaster of Ye clan wouldn't wait for so long to annihilate all of this family's offsprings until their ninth generation, including that third young miss.

"But headmaster Jiang also knows that sooner or later third young miss must be handed over to our clan's second young master as a concubine. That's what had stated in the agreement.", Bu Zhidao declared, as if giving him a warning.

[No matter what he can't avoid this matter any longer. A mere pebble won't be a gem. Let alone a girl with cursed blood inside of her veins.]

Jiang Chen Lu's expression didn't change at all after hearing that statement. But from within of his indifferent gaze, a ruthless glint flashed before it immediately disappeared.

"Jiang Yi is still a 10 years-old girl. At this age she doesn't have an ability to serve second young master Ye as a wife. This old father of her still need to teach her about things. Elder Bu, please rest assured that my Jiang family will always stick to the agreement.", Jiang Chen Lu said solemnly.

After that, both men didn't utter any other words and back to their staring contest once again.

…

An Yue courtyard.

Lin Feng Yu was peering at Jing Yi in confusion. In his hands, was a stack of papers.

"You… you want to make… all of this?", he stammered. He never thought that right after they entered this bedroom, his little sister would immediately ask for brush and papers. At first he didn't understand what she wanted to do. But seeing her urging attitude, he thought that maybe it was a really important matter, thus he complied.

He ordered one of his guards to find and brought those things over and gave it to Jing Yi. But after he saw what were drawn later on those papers, he was gaping in disbelief.

[All of these were drawn by a 10 years-old girl?]. At this moment, Lin Feng Yu had almost lost all of his self-confidence as a talented young man.

Jing Yi had to suppress an urge to roll her eyes and said in serious tone, "That's right. Big brother, we have to make and finish all of these in the drawings as soon as possible. These blueprints are very important for my survival in this mansion."

As she was 'miraculously' thrown back to the past, all of her plans that had already been executed, had to go back to the zero point once again. Obviously it made her really upset.

[My painstaking efforts…!!], Jing Yi wailed inward.

"But… we need a lot of money to do everything.", Lin Feng Yu said in small voice as he lowered his head, seemed to be troubled.

Jing Yi narrowed her eyes in suspicion, "Is there a problem?" About money? Seriously? Why did Lin Feng Yu look so troubled about money? According to the past, money was the last thing he needed to worry about.

Lin Feng Yu reluctantly lifted his head before he heavily sighed and then replied, "Yi'er, there is something that I need to tell you. Actually… I have joined the supporting faction of the second prince. And soon, all of us will launch an attack to the capital. I came here... to take you with me."
