Feng Tianlan also wasn’t self-conscious and gently kissed him back. She pulled him to the side to talk. As for Shi Yiqing and his group, they weren’t friends, so there was no need for her to introduce them to Si Mobai.
He Lianhuang looked at the two people’s heads rubbing together, and he couldn’t help feeling sour and uncomfortable. He also felt angry that his feelings had been betrayed.
When Dai’er died that time, only he had questioned the cause of her death. He didn’t hesitate to excavate the grave at the risk of death the night before returning to his home country. When he learned that it wasn’t Dai’er who was dead inside, he’d held out a sliver of hope that she wasn’t dead and hadn’t been killed.
But now, looking at the two of them being so lovey-dovey, perhaps she had faked her so-called death only because she no longer liked Jiang Ying and had fallen in love with the better Demon King, Si Mobai?
He Lianhuang leaned against a tree trunk and closed his eyes. He clasped his hands tightly together. Why didn’t Dai’er tell him the truth? For the sake of the truth during that time, he’d left Xi Yuan Nation without hesitation before his foundation had stabilized and returned to Dongshu Nation to investigate.
But the truth hadn’t yet been uncovered and he’d already met her as well as discovered her change of affection.
Could it be that he couldn’t even believe Dai’er?
Feng Tianlan told Si Mobai about what happened after she disappeared in that instant and didn’t notice He Lianhuang’s mood.
After talking about those matters, Feng Tianlan took out the two bounty missions and handed them over to Si Mobai, saying, “This is Bailan Alliance’s bounty mission commissioned to the Mercenary Regiments.”
Si Mobai took it and glanced at it once before frowning. “I’m afraid that it’s from the people in Bailan Alliance,” he said.
They hadn’t been sent by him to hunt and kill, but it had the old Yunyi Alliance’s imprint, and this writing paper was the special paper of Bailan Alliance. This type of fine writing paper wouldn’t have been used if the Bailan Alliance wasn’t trying to convey an important message.
It was Mobai’s subordinates, so Feng Tianlan couldn’t say anything.
“With regards to this matter, I’ll go and investigate. There’s a traitor in Bailan Alliance.” Si Mobai clasped Feng Tianlan’s hand tightly and lowered his eyes to gaze at her carefully. “Lan’er, do you believe in me?” he asked.
Feng Tianlan met Si Mobai’s beautiful eyes. They were gentle and held deep emotions, but there was anxiety in them as well at this moment. He, who was so confident and full of pride, actually felt anxious over her trust in him.
“Mobai, I believe you.” Feng Tianlan reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him.
She believed him. However, the first time she heard from the assassins that it was Bailan Alliance’s Demon King who wanted to hunt and kill her, at that time she’d only felt a sharp pain spread through her limbs and across her body. She’d felt so much pain that she found it difficult to breathe.
She believed Mobai, but she also felt uneasy inside. Before seeing him again, she’d constantly been afraid and terrified of the possibility that it might be true.
She wasn’t that strong of a person. She had the courage to believe him but still couldn’t help but feel afraid. Until she had seen him again, she’d always been afraid of that possibility.
Si Mobai glanced down at her and saw the fear in her eyes. He felt pained and guilty. He held her tightly and then bowed his head to kiss her. “I will find out who’s behind all this and give you justice,” he said.
He must seize the person and then make mincemeat out of him. How dare he think of using such an insidious trick to make Lan’er misunderstand and hate him.
Even if the assassination wasn’t successful, as long as Lan’er believed that he was the one who had sent men to hunt and kill her, it would follow that he and Lan’er would have a great misunderstanding that he wouldn’t be able to explain. Then he and Lan’er would drift further apart because of this non-existent misunderstanding and even become strangers from then on!
Thinking of this, Si Mobai was struck with a momentary fear at what could’ve been the aftermath of this. Fortunately, Lan’er believed him. Otherwise…
At which point, Si Mobai’s beautiful eyes gradually smoldered with murderous intentions, which changed the surrounding atmosphere.
