Chapter 213 - The Creator (1)

"W-why are we here?" Lu Weisheng asked, gripping onto his seatbelt. He took a glance to the left and right to make sure he wasn't just seeing things, and he wasn't. Yup, it was the place he wanted to avoid. "Sister-in-law… AHHH! I was wrong! Please let go!" 

Xiong Jingfei immediately released her fingers from pinching Lu Weisheng's right cheek. Then she gently patted it, "No harm done. I still need that face of yours to get in." 

"M-my face?" Lu Weisheng pointed to himself. He frantically shook his head, "M-my face is useless! Believe me!" 

"Well, let's find out how useless that face of yours is." Xiong Jingfei pulled up to the front gate and rolled down the windows. 

"Who goes there? Huh!" The security guard had to rub his eyes. "It's the second young master! What a rare visit!" 

Xiong Jingfei turned to look at Lu Weisheng and scoffed, "Your face is useless, huh." 

"Wait one second. I will let you on through!" The security guard happily opened the gate to let them in without questions. He didn't even notice the plea in Lu Weisheng's eyes to NOT let them in! 

"If I knew you were going to bring me here..." Lu Weisheng grumbled, unable to escape at this point. "I would have told you no." 

Xiong Jingfei hummed a happy tune, "And that's why I didn't tell you."

When they reached the front door, Lu Weisheng refused to leave the car. He held onto his dear life, "I got you inside already! You can leave me out here! I refuse to enter-"

"Your own brother's house?" 

A chilling low voice completed Lu Weisheng's sentence and made Lu Weisheng immediately get out of the car. 

Lu Weisheng straightened out his shirt and let out nervous laughter, "B-brother, why would I refuse to visit your house? Haha! I couldn't be happier to be here!" 

Xiong Jingfei eyed Lu Weisheng from the corner of her eyes. Could he not be any more shameless?

"I brought her like you asked, so you have to remember your promise to me." 

You brought me here? Xiong Jingfei couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes. 

Lu Weisheng rested his hand on her left shoulders because he wasn't sure what to do with his nervous hands. He instantly removed his hand when a murderous Yang Zheyan's popped into his head. He whispered into Xiong Jingfei's ear, "Can't you help me out a little for helping you earlier?" 

Xiong Jingfei wanted to pinch Lu Weisheng's cheeks again. He dares make it sound like he was doing her a favor when he needed her for his freedom. 

She looked up at Lu Xuefeng, who stood a few steps away from them. As ever, his face remained stone cold that she could cut a diamond with it. She walked up those stone stairs and closed in the distance between them. 

"Nice to meet you," Xiong Jingfei stuck out her hand for a handshake. "I heard you wanted to see me?" 

Lu Xuefeng saw her hand but didn't immediately take it. The hand extended out for him didn't feel like she was greeting another member of Yang Zheyan's family. Instead, it was more like someone who was about to make a business deal with him.

Xiong Jingfei didn't feel offended that he didn't take her hand. She smiled, "It has been a very, very long time." 

Lu Weisheng's head was preoccupied that he didn't hear Xiong Jingfei's last comment. 

Meanwhile, Lu Xuefeng felt that it was odd for Xiong Jingfei to make such a comment. It hasn't been that long since they last encountered each other at Wen Yingyue's party. Unless they've met before and he couldn't recall it? 

Just when Xiong Jingfei was about to put down her hand, Lu Xuefeng took hold of it. He didn't want to show animosity when she will become part of their family soon. 

Suddenly, something jabbed into Lu Xuefeng's head as chills ran down his back. Even though it was killing him, he still didn't let go of Xiong Jingfei's hand. 

"Brother!?"

"Are you okay?" Xiong Jingfei asked, but to Lu Xuefeng, her voice felt so far away. However, he can see her moving closer to him and felt her holding his side. 

'Your name is Xuefeng?'

Lu Xuefeng could hear someone asking for his name. It was a voice that belonged to a teenage girl who doesn't seem older than fourteen and fifteen. 

Just as that came to mind, a teenage girl dressed in blue did show up in front of him. Her outfit was weird. It was as if she walked out from a scene in an ancient drama. 

'Y-you! How dare you call his hig- h-his name directly? Do you no longer want to keep your head!?' 

Another voice that Lu Xuefeng wasn't familiar with yelled at the girl. It definitely didn't belong to his younger brother Lu Weisheng, as it belonged to a boy who sounded to be around the age of twelve and thirteen. 

For some reason, Lu Xuefeng had a feeling that 'him' the boy was referring to was him. He tried to open his eyes to have a better look at the faces of the two people bickering, but something was preventing him from doing it. As if his body was weak, and that included his eyes as well. 

'It's you who should feel lucky that I didn't make your head go flying! You dare talk to me this way after setting off fireworks and attracting bandits? Is this how you treat someone who you are asking a favor from?' 

Lu Xuefeng could vaguely see through his cracked eyes that the girl grabbed the boy's cheeks. She pinched them slightly hard as punishment for apparently something the boy did to her. 

Fireworks? Bandits? Lu Xuefeng couldn't keep up with their conversation. Who are they?

'I-I didn't have a choice!' The boy defended his actions. Then his voice went quiet, 'If I didn't, all of you would have died that night...'

'Here.' The girl stopped bickering with the boy. 'Stop being useless and wash your friend's bloody clothes.'

Lu Xuefeng could feel that the girl was approaching him. 

'Hmm, you're fortunate to have escaped the death door.' The girl gently held onto his hands. "Xuefeng... I think that's your name? That boy could be lying to me again... But, can you hear my voice? Squeeze my fingers if you can hear me." 

Lu Xuefeng tried to the best of his strength to squeeze the girl's fingers in response that he could hear her. When he squeezed her fingers, his vision became clear, and all power returned to his body. 

"Can you hear my voice?" 

Lu Xuefeng was now able to see, but the boy and teenage girl were nowhere in sight. Not even the sound of their voice. There was only Xiong Jingfei, whose voice greatly resembles the teenage girl's voice and asking the same questions. 

"Brother, let's go inside." Lu Weisheng held Lu Xuefeng on the other side to support him. "You suddenly started staggering out of nowhere." 

Lu Xuefeng thought everything he saw and heard was only him hallucinating. 

"Your highness..." 

He quickly turned his head, but there wasn't anyone in sight. There were a total of three body presence at Lu Xuefeng's front door. It was him, Lu Weisheng, and Xiong Jingfei. 

Who did this fourth voice belonged to?
