Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 157: Love and Promise

Night falls and the night breeze is slightly cool. The entire inner palace was quiet, not even the sound of insects could be heard. Yun Che sat on the top of the Wind Viewing Pavilion behind Taixuan Palace, bathing in the moonlight, thinking silently in his mind.

It has been a year since he left Liuyun City. His original life plan was very simple. Repair his profound veins, achieve something within three years, and then return to Liuyun City to regain the freedom of his grandfather and aunt, as well as his own dignity. Later, he met Jasmine, and he was reborn because of Jasmine. His destiny was also tied to her, and the trajectory of his life was destined to be turned upside down because of Jasmine.

But now, there is another Lan Xueruo in his life.

He likes Lan Xueruo, he is sure of this. From the first moment he saw her, he was deeply attracted by her beautiful appearance and gentle temperament. After half a year of getting along, especially after experiencing life and death disasters together, their feelings for each other also matured little by little from their buds.

It was not until yesterday that he knew Lan Xueruo's identity and what she was carrying. And what you will face if you want to be with her.

Yesterday, some of Qin Wuyou's words were cruel, but Yun Che couldn't help but admit that every word he said was an irrefutable fact. His ability is too small, and he may be able to resolve any form of personal grudges, but the royal dispute also involves two huge sects. If he is forcibly involved, he will be like sand and dust filling the sea, and he will be submerged without a trace in an instant. .

"Junior Brother Yun, it turns out you are actually here."

Lan Xueruo's gentle voice sounded behind Yun Che, and then a gust of fragrant wind blew. Lan Xueruo had jumped to the top of the pavilion and looked at him with a smile: "I just went to your residence to look for you and found that you are not there. I didn’t expect you to be interested in admiring the moon here. Are you encountering something troublesome? "

"It's not an annoying matter." Yun Che looked straight ahead: "I'm just making a decision that may be a very important one in my life."

Lan Xueruo sat down next to Yun Che. After hesitating for a moment, she asked cautiously: "Junior Brother Yun, I heard that you received invitations from the Crown Prince and the Third Prince at the same time, and the invitations were at exactly the same time. You...you Are you hesitating about whose invitation you should accept?”

Yun Che did not answer, but asked: "Senior sister, who do you think I should agree to? One is the crown prince, and the other is the third prince. It seems that I can't refuse."

Lan Xueruo's face flashed with deep confusion, and he said hesitantly: "I, I want to hear your decision. I... have no right to interfere in your affairs."

"...I heard that the current situation in the Blue Wind royal family is turbulent and undercurrents are surging. The emperor is currently bedridden and will not die soon. If he dies one day, all the storms and undercurrents will explode at once... Senior sister, I I want to know if you want me to get involved in this royal family dispute?" Yun Che asked with a calm expression.

"No! I don't want to! I absolutely don't want to." Lan Xueruo shook her head hastily: "Junior Brother Yun, I know you are not the kind of person who desires power, and you will definitely not do that, right? "

"What if I must help in it?" Yun Che said quietly.

Lan Xueruo's body stiffened, and she looked at Yun Che with a pair of big eyes in panic: "Why do you want to get involved? You don't know how dangerous and terrifying the storm and undercurrents within the royal family are. Once you get involved, you may never get involved again." You can't get out. The complexity and danger here are beyond your imagination. Junior Brother Yun, you shouldn't be a person who likes power and fighting. What do you want to do? "

"You are right. I have no desire for power. I am even less interested in fighting. However, in this world, there are many things that I am not interested in. I just don't do them if I don't like them." Yun Che turned to Lan Xue. Ruo looked at her tenderly: "Senior sister...should I call you Senior Sister Xueruo, or...Her Royal Highness Princess Cang Yue?"

Lan Xueruo's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and there was a moment of turmoil and panic in her eyes. She lowered her head and hesitated: "You... you know everything? Did Instructor Qin tell you? I... …I really didn’t mean to hide it from you, I just…just…”

Yun Che didn't wait for her to continue, and whispered to himself: "The first time I saw you, I was impressed by your gentleness, elegance and pleasing appearance. Later, the Xiao Sect branched into an attack, and you He wanted to save me even at the risk of being implicated. After that, he went to the branch of the sect alone and experienced life and death escape with me... Later, he came to the Blue Wind Imperial City and entered the Blue Wind Profound Palace. You have always carefully arranged and taken care of everything for me. Without you, I would have died at the hands of Xiao Zaihe, or I may not know where I am now, or I may still be on the run, eating the wind and drinking the dew, how could I have this. A stable place to live.”

"You have done so much for me, I thought you fell in love with me, and I enjoyed every moment with you...I didn't know until yesterday, when I received the invitation letter, Teacher Qin told me everything , the reason why you treat me specially, why you did not hesitate to go to Xiao Sect to branch the sect in person, and why you brought me to Blue Wind Imperial City, is because you took a fancy to my qualifications and potential. In order to fulfill your father's wish, let me Representing the royal family in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, what I thought before was just my own selfishness..."

Yun Che's words were filled with a hint of loss and sadness, which made Lan Xueruo's mind flustered. His last sentence made her heart ache. She shouted in panic: "No... No! I did choose you because of my father, but I didn't deliberately hide it from you, and I didn't want to use you. I just wanted to find the most appropriate time to tell you everything. Because the longer I get along with you, the more afraid I am... I'm afraid that if you know all this, you will think that I am deceiving you and using you, and the reason I am afraid is because... because..."

"Senior sister..." Yun Che interrupted her again, and said sadly: "I want to... be quiet for a while..."

After the voice fell, Yun Che had already slid down from the top of the pavilion and disappeared silently into the night.

"Junior Brother Yun...Junior Brother Yun!!"

Lan Xueruo was in the bright moonlight, and the surroundings were bright, but she could no longer find Yun Che's figure.

"It's not like that, it's really not like that... I really didn't mean to hide it from you, let alone use you..." Lan Xueruo's heart suddenly fell into an abyss. She squatted weakly, hugged her knees with her arms, and cried bitterly.

Her father was seriously ill, she didn't cry, the royal family fell into disaster, she didn't cry, the Burning Heaven Sect and Burning Jue City pressed forward step by step, she didn't cry... She silently took on everything, but at this moment, with Yun Che's departure, she felt that her spirit and soul suddenly became empty, as if she had lost something more important than life. Her heart ached like a needle, and her tears ran wildly and uncontrollably, helpless like a fallen leaf abandoned by the world.

"Senior sister, your tears are too precious. So precious... I can only exchange them for my whole life."

A soft and dreamy voice sounded in her ears, she raised her head suddenly, and in her tearful eyes, she saw Yun Che in front of her, he stretched out his hand, gently stroked her cheek, and wiped away the crystal tears.

"Junior Brother Yun, don't... leave me!"

This sentence with deep sobs came out of Lan Xueruo's mouth completely uncontrollably. Because this was a voice that had been buried deep in her heart for a long time, and she herself was not even aware of it. The heart-piercing pain just now was like a sharp blade cutting open her soul and heart, allowing her deep-buried emotions to be completely released, and finally made her thoroughly understand what kind of feelings she had for this "Junior Brother Yun".

She threw herself into Yun Che's arms and burst into tears. She had never cried so wantonly before, but with him by her side, leaning on her arms, she felt that everything didn't need to be pretended anymore, and everything didn't need to be suppressed anymore. The worries, pressures, heartaches, pains, and regrets that had accumulated in her heart for a long time... were all like a flood that broke through the dam, rushing wantonly.

"Sister, I'm sorry..." Yun Che hugged her and said softly: "What I said before was not my original intention. I have known you for so long, how could I not know how soft-hearted you are, and how could you be willing to hide and use me. I said those words because I was worried and afraid... I don't know if I have really entered Sister's heart, because Sister is so good and is a princess, and I have no power and no influence, and I come from a humble background. I have nothing except self-esteem, passion and love for Sister, so I am really worried and afraid... I am very selfish, and I want to see if Sister will cry for me..."

"A man who makes his woman cry is the most hateful man in the world... Sister, please forgive my willfulness and selfishness this time? I will treasure your tears in my heart, and they will be imprinted in my heart for a lifetime. Precious wealth will also be my biggest motivation in the future. "

"It's not your fault, you don't need to say sorry to me... It's my fault, it's all my fault, I hid it from you, I always had such intentions towards you..." Lan Xueruo shook her head vigorously in front of Yun Che's chest, crying sadly: "I always thought that my concern and longing for you, and the urge to always want to see you, were because you had the hope to fulfill my father's wish... Until just now, when you disappeared from my side, I realized that I had already left you... Woo... Don't leave me, I don't want the identity of a princess... I won't let you participate in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament again, I just want... You can stay by my side, so that I can see you often... Don't leave me..."

Lan Xueruo finally completely and unreservedly revealed her feelings. Yun Che smiled slightly. He hugged Lan Xueruo tightly and whispered, "My feelings for Senior Sister are the same as Senior Sister's feelings for me. Since our hearts are together, we should also share our responsibilities. Senior Sister's affairs are also my affairs. If I can't even satisfy Senior Sister's little wishes, how can I deserve Senior Sister's love... I will go to the Blue Wind Ranked Tournament, and I will also participate in the turmoil of the Blue Wind Royal Family... Senior Sister, please don't stop me. I just told you that I am making a very important decision in my life... This is my decision." "Although I am just a fledgling now. But, give me time, there will always be a day when I will grow wings. Please give me the opportunity to use my wings to protect you from the wind and rain... Even if the wind and clouds are too strong and I am unable to block them, I can take Senior Sister to fly high, leave this place of wind and clouds forever, and find a place that belongs to us again. This is the right I have because I like Senior Sister... Even Senior Sister cannot deprive me of it."

Lan Xueruo didn't say anything, only tried to suppress her sobs and her shoulders trembled violently. The man's shoulder she leaned on was not broad, but it made her feel so warm and at ease. She felt like a floating duckweed that had finally found the warmest home.

The two of them sat on the top of the pavilion, bathing in the moonlight together. For a long time, neither of them spoke. A tear, a confession and a promise, the last barrier between them also completely disappeared, their hearts were closely connected, and they listened to each other's voice.

"Tomorrow, take me to see your father, okay? Don't forget, your man is a miracle doctor, there is no disease he can't cure."

"Well..." Lan Xueruo responded softly, leaning on Yun Che's shoulder, her eyes closed, her mouth slightly curved, tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was gorgeous and unparalleled.
