Chapter 31: The Bloody Truth (I)

After I moved into the castle, Lansger was very busy and had a lot of official documents to approve every day, but he always took the time to visit me. Lansg remembers that a hundred years ago I had a sweet tooth, so when he came to me, he always brought me some pastries, and strangely, my taste was exactly the same as a hundred years ago, and he brought tiramisu, strawberry pudding, and cranberry cookies...... I love those.

Lanske sometimes travels to other countries on business, and every time he comes back, he brings me some small gifts. Go to the country of flowers and bring back a red fresh rose hairpin decorated with rubies, go to the country of Lingshui and bring back a delicate crystal funnel filled with clear water, go to the country of the wind and bring back a Xiao, the wind and bamboo leaves will blow by when you blow the flute, go to the country of streamers and bring back a light ball ornament, which is very bright and can be used as a light bulb...... Lanscott's little gifts were always novelties that I hadn't seen before, and I was pleasantly surprised and moved. He always thinks about me and never forgets to bring me something back from a business trip.

Gradually, I began to think of something else, some fond memories of Ransger.

I thought, maybe he didn't care about me, but he didn't care so much that he couldn't give up his world for me.

Soon it was the day of the Winter Snow Festival, and in the early morning, I was woken up by the maid to freshen up. The maids dressed me in a black gauze skirt with a long trailing tail, and the gauze skirt was adorned with precious stones. They put on my delicate makeup and curled my shoulder-length hair into a fluffy curl.

I looked at myself in the mirror and felt as delicate as a doll in a shop window.

I stepped on ten centimeters of heels and cautiously walked downstairs. Lansg was already waiting for me at the table. "What's the matter, Xiao Zhen, do you have something on your mind, why are you sullen?" asked Lansger. I stopped chewing and looked up at him. He's going to reveal my identity at today's party, but I've already remembered everything he did to me a hundred years ago, how can I pretend to be a brother to him in front of everyone, and how can I be embarrassed?

I frowned slightly and shook my head at Lansger.

"Don't be nervous," Lansg touched my head, "there will be many occasions like this in the future." I nodded perfunctorily.

In the afternoon, when the decorations, seats, and dishes for the ball were all ready, and Lansger was telling me what to look out for, there was a knock on the door. A demon dressed in a fancy costume walked in and knelt down on one knee and saluted Lansger. From the moment this demon walked in, I felt that he was very familiar, and I always felt that I should have seen him somewhere.

"Brother, this is ......," I asked Lansger. "This is my personal bodyguard, Ying Candle. Lansger replied. A hint of panic flashed in Ying Candle's eyes the moment she raised her head to see me, only for a moment, but it was still keenly captured by me. He...... Could it be the man in black!!, my heart pounding, and I couldn't be more nervous. If he's the Man in Black, and he's Lansger's personal bodyguard, chances are Lansger sent him to kill me!

I've got to figure it out!

Ice flowers appeared in my hand, and an ice arrow stabbed at the candle at a rapid pace. A crystal clear red dagger instantly appeared in Ying Candle's hand, blocking the ice arrow.

The man in black is indeed him!

There can be no mistake, this dagger is too familiar to me! This is the dagger that pierced my calf in the old days, the dagger that was stuck in the teacher's chest, the dagger that killed Qingmei and Zimo!

It's him! It's him!

"What are you doing here, Xiaoqing?" Lansger grabbed my hand.

"What are you doing, brother, don't you know what I'm doing?" I grinned and shook off my brother's hand vigorously, "Brother, don't pretend, he was sent by you to kill me, right? I didn't expect that brother, you were like this a hundred years ago, and you will still be like this a hundred years later!"

"What the hell are you talking about, Xiaoxuan, who is going to kill you?" Lansger looked at me strangely. "On the first day I came to the Lingyu Realm, I was chased and killed by the men in black, and after that, the men in black repeatedly came to trouble me, killing my teachers and classmates, and insisting on killing me. And this man in black is your personal bodyguard, Ying Candle! You said you don't know any of this, okay, then let me tell you what you know," I sneered, "I already remembered everything from a hundred years ago!" "You ......" Lansge was taken aback, the sadness in his eyes was about to drip out, "Xiao Zhen, it's been a hundred years, are you still resentful of your brother?"

"No, I don't blame you, I should have understood that you never cared about me. It is worth exchanging a half-sister for the peace of the country. I spoke coldly and sarcastically, trying to make my voice sound cold and unforgiving, but I couldn't hide the sadness in my tone.

"Xiaoxuan, I had no way to force you to kiss at that time, and I felt guilty for a hundred years. There must be some misunderstanding about Ying Candle you said, it can't be that he wants to kill you!" "No way, there was no way at the time, but what about now? Your personal guard wants to kill me, how do you explain? Without your instructions, he dares to kill the princess privately?" I looked at Lanceg and said word by word, "You can't help it, you just want to kill me and monopolize the Ling Bing Kingdom!"

Smack - a loud slap hit me in the face and I fell to the ground. There was a burning pain on my face, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of my mouth.
