Las bellezas de la dinastía Song

Capítulo 43

"you!"

I turned and left.

Little brat, now that we know who you are, do you think you can run away? Who has the patience to listen to your rambling?

"Lin Qingyan!"

ignore.

"Damn it, stop right there!" Footsteps sounded behind me, and my arm was grabbed hard.

A look of near-madness and extreme sorrow flickered in Cheng Jue's eyes: "Why are you always like this? No matter what I do, you're always like this! What do you want?!"

The look in his eyes suddenly struck my heart, catching me off guard and leaving me stunned. For some reason, a touch of sadness welled up inside me. All the harsh words stuck in my throat, and I stammered, somewhat uneasy, "You, you..."

Cheng Jue stared intently into my eyes, as if searching for something within them. In the end, she abruptly looked away, pushed me away, turned her back to me, and her shoulders trembled rapidly. When she turned back a moment later, her expression was calm as usual.

I inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously softened my tone, saying, "Cheng Jue, forget it, I won't ask about the past. Just tell me how to get back."

Cheng Jue suddenly grinned and laughed. His eyelashes lowered slightly as he toyed with the maple leaf mask in his hand, and he said very lightly, "Go back? Go back where?"

I was taken aback, and my expression immediately darkened: "Cheng Jue!"

"Do you want to go back to your own place? Unfortunately, you can't. I'm afraid you'll be stuck here for the rest of your life."

I sneered: "You think you can threaten me? As long as you keep moving between the two timelines, so can I."

"No, you're wrong. I'm not threatening you, it really is impossible. Besides, I don't need to travel between the two timelines anymore. I won't leave again, never again." Cheng Jue laughed vaguely, a smile with a hazy beauty.

"You wouldn't know, I am just Cheng Jue, the real Cheng Jue, no doubt about it." Cheng Jue's words came as he disappeared at the end of the long street.

I was startled and horrified.

The real Cheng Jue?

—Does he mean that he isn't a time-traveling soul, and that this is his true time and space?

"This General Dawei comes from the Cheng family, a prominent clan of generals. His given name is Jue. He has been renowned since childhood. The Cheng family army he built is extremely rigorously trained, but every soldier is fearless and can fight a hundred men. Cheng Jue wields immense power in the Dawei army, holding a position second only to the general himself..."

When Kim Jong-un's report rang in my ears again, I suddenly felt inexplicably panicked. The hope of returning home, which I had always thought was within reach, was right in front of me, and then I watched it shatter.

"Are you talking about Marshal Cheng Jue, the Great Marshal?" My master glanced at me lazily, his robe half-open, lying under the osmanthus tree. Petals of osmanthus drifted down with the wind, hovering in front of him for a long time, floating up and down, filling the air with their fragrance.

I nodded, resting my chin on my hands, staring blankly at the drifting clouds in the sky. I recalled Cheng Jue's gaze, and strangely enough, I felt somewhat lost and sad when I faced that look.

Why do I have such a strange feeling?

"The person who pushed you out of the spacetime barrier at Yanglan Lake was him? You're not mistaken?" Master asked again.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance and ignored him.

Although I am often careless about people and things, and I often forget things I don't pay attention to in the blink of an eye, it seems that I have never made a mistake in remembering things, right? Why would you ask me that?

Master chuckled softly.

"But he told me that he is the real General Cheng Jue." I frowned slightly.

"That's easy to explain. Maybe he traveled from this timeline to yours," the master said dismissively.

I nodded: "Yes, that's possible. But he refuses to open the spacetime barrier right now, so how can we steal it from him?"

"Steal?" The master chuckled. "Steal what?"

"The medium to open the spacetime barrier, what else can we do?" I glared at my master.

Although I'm having a great time right now, I'm still "locked up" in this time and space, aren't I? Just thinking about it makes me unhappy. When did I, Lin Qingyan, ever get "imprisoned" like this?

snort!

The master touched his nose: "That's a good idea. How do we steal it?"

I looked my master up and down, making him shiver, before lazily saying, "Master, you've become quite lazy lately. Do I really have to do this kind of thing? Of course, you should handle it."

The master was both amused and exasperated: "Little girl, think it through first, okay? First, you need to know what that medium is, right? And where it's hidden, right? Besides, don't you want to know why this guy brought you here in the first place?"

My eyes lit up.

Yeah, I almost forgot, it was all because of that weird look Cheng Jue gave me.

And also, even if I don't seek revenge, I'll still inevitably play pranks on him. Who told him to dare to mess with me? Hmph!

"Master, this Cheng Jue seems to know me. Moreover, he might have his own identity in our timeline. Last time I met him, he was driving a nice little car. Could you help me identify him and see if you know who he is?"

I've forgotten when my master started being by my side. I only remember that my memories of my master are no less than those of my mother and older sister. Everyone I spent more than three days with was teased by my master over and over again. There was almost no one my master didn't know.

Moreover, monsters have excellent memories; they remember many things I carelessly overlooked. So, the best course of action is to ask my master.

The master's eyes deepened, a thoughtful light flickering in his pupils.

"Alright." He stood up lazily, and the petals scattered rapidly as if caught in a whirlwind, falling to the ground and filling the air with a sudden burst of fragrance.

My master took my hand and slowly walked towards the door: "This matter is not urgent. I will take you to a good place today."

After riding out of the city with my master, all that remained around Huai City were lush green mountains, with greenery everywhere.
