Chapter 387 - Never Leave Things Left Unsaid

The evening turned to dusk as the sky turns from red to grey, inside the Qin Hua courtyard the brother and sister have along and deep conversation, Yuan Xue An face turn to red and tears keep flowing down on her cheek no matter how many times she wiped it with her handkerchief eventually her cheeks become slightly red because she wiped her tears repeatedly.

Yuan Shao sadly smiles at his younger sister, he never thought one day he would leave her but he never thought only in a short time her sister become much healthier and her timid behavior changed tremendously, his sister becomes more happier, bubbly and cheerful that three words are something he never dares to relate with his sister but she is changed a lot she can't even talk back right now, and it seems he knew where she's learned it from.

Her sister changed give so much comfort to him, as if the withered flower has come back to life and bloomed beautifully he can't be more pleased.

"Brother why should you leave, now you free we can live together right now" Yuan Xue An choked from her tears, his nosed become a little bit red because she has blown her nose a few times.

"Free doesn't mean the Emperor would let me go, he always been warry to me and now I'm no longer served him it only adds his cautious to me"

"That's more reason for you to stay if we stay with Hei Shen sect no one will dare to hurt us" she clenched her brother's hands tightly.

Yuan Shao chuckles "I know, that's why I will let you leave with them until I get you" he patted Yuan Xue An shoulder gently.

"Why you don't want to stay, Hei Shen people are very good, I don't think they would have a problem if you want to stay" Yuan Xue An doesn't understand why Yuan Shao insisted to left.

"I know they wouldn't…" he smiles as he takes a deep breath "But I'm a man Xue An, I could never let myself live under anyone protection, I have my own pride too," said Yuan Shao.

Yuan Xue An bites her lips as she looks down in grief, she understands her brother feeling from a young age her brother always been independent, headstrong, and prideful. Someone like him will never lower himself to leave under anyone's wings no matter how big or safety that wings would be, her brother is destined to be a man among the dragon.

"I understand…" she weakly said with head down.

"Good, I know you will understand" he stroked his sister head just like he did when she was a child but that only make Yuan Xue An sadder, she snort and wiped her nose with a handkerchief and she lifts her head slowly "How long you gonna left, don't say you going to leave for a long time or you will lose a certain person…" she pursed her lips as she warning her brother.

Yuan Shao suddenly fl.u.s.tered "What are you talking about….?" He pretends to be oblivious.

Yuan Xue An click her tongue "Don't pretend, you know who I'm talking about as matter a fact I think everyone in Hei Shen knew about it, you're eyes always popped whenever you see her" she teased her brother.

"What?" he gasped as he just realized his silly reaction whenever he saw her but this is not something he could control his body just react that way, he looks at his sister with worried "Is she….do you think she…..knew?" he got nervous but hopeful at the same time.

"No!" she gives quick replied "That woman is a dense one"

"Oh…" he mumbles, he doesn't know should he feel relief or sad.

Yuan Xue An amused by her stoic brother reaction, she would never have thought that one day she would see him conflicted for a woman and the woman he loves is also the woman she admired if her brother marries her that means they will become family and the will be together forever, her imagination has run wild and she can't let her slow brother missed this chance "That means you must say to her clearly, don't be a wuss! You will cry when you return she already belongs to someone else" she reminds her brother firmly.

"You think so?" he somberly asked. He never likes any woman before, as a matter of fact, he thought he will stay single for the rest of his life but now he met her and everything has changed.

"I believe so!" she nods her head with certain "You must be shameless like Lord Long Ming, I heard from Jin Hao how Lord long Ming pursued Luo Ri Yi relentlessly even someone like Long Ming would lower himself in front the woman he loved so why can you do the same?"

"You right, it's okay to be shameless in front of the one you love" he chuckles lightly, he can agree more with his sister.

Meanwhile, under the wisteria tree, the swing sways gently as the lady with a red robe quietly sits on it with trouble look.

"Cannot sleep?"

Ming Yue Yin startled, she's to immersed in her though she doesn't realize Lory approach her from behind, without waiting for an answer she takes a seat next to her.

"Where's uncle?" Ming Yue Yin asked.

"Cultivate" Lory answers carelessly.

"Liar, the only thing he cultivated lately is you…" Ming Yue Yin rolls her eyes, lately, Zhao Li Xin always have a good mood and he becomes less scary but on the other hand, Lory who always morning person recently always sleep until almost lunch and when she awoke she always look in dazed, is easy to see what had happened between them.

Lory unable to denied yet, she just sighs heavily "True…" she weakly confesses as she recalled Zhao Li Xin sullen face when she left him alone in the room.

"You dump him tonight aren't you" Ming Yue Yin giggles.

"Shut up!" Lory pushes the swing with her legs and the swing moves a bit faster. The moon shines brightly tonight as the two girls play with swings and enjoyed the moonlight.

"Yuan Shao said he will leave tonight" Lory glance at Ming Yue Yin.

Ming Yue Yin expression remains calm "That what I heard too…"

"You are not gonna say anything to him?" Lory raised her eyebrows.

"Like what?" Ming Yue Yin feigns ignorance.

"Like…where is he going when he will return and when he will send you a dowry…?"

Ming Yue Yin narrows her eyes toward Lory "Shut up!"

"What, you don't need a dowry? Should you be the one who sends him a dowry…..I don't know how it works?" Lory tilted her head this time she genuinely confused.

"They're's nothing between us, why you keep saying that?" Ming Yue Yin puffed her cheeks in upset.

"Because you keep glancing at him when he's around…"

"I always took a glance on someone, I give Su Yi glances all the times"

"That because she brings noodles for you! I never saw General Yuan bring any noodle for you!"

"He is not General anymore!"

"And you notice?"

"...."

Ming Yue Yin's face turns red like ripe tomato "Hump!" she averts her gaze from Lory as she pretends to be mad.

Lory let out a long sigh and she leans her back "Learn from me, said what you want to say, don't live your life in regret..the words 'What if' will only weight you down"

Ming Yue Yin feel her heart become heavy, It is not like she doesn't understand what lory means, she wants to say something to Lory but she swallows her words abruptly when she sees the tall figures not far from her. Lory notices her change expression as she follows her gaze and so Lory smiles.

Lory raised from her seat "Remember what I said" she smiles and left Ming Yue Yin alone.
