Chapter 66.2: Luo Qing Luan’s Methods

Even though these words sounded very ordinary, as if there was no trace of any menace, but only she would know how much her heart was hurting at this very moment.

She’d always been someone who wouldn’t convict anyone who didn’t commit a crime. Even if someone didn’t like her, as long as they didn’t behave excessively, she wouldn’t bother about them. But this time, she really could not accept it!

She personally saw her wet nurse die miserably before her. If she didn’t take revenge on her wet nurse’s behalf, she wouldn’t she be unworthy of her wet nurse’s hardships in bringing her up? From the moment she was born, she lost her mother. It’s her wet nurse who sheltered her. Without her wet nurse, she wouldn’t exist now.

Fury raging within her heart, Luo Qing Luan had never hated anyone like this before.

With a wave of her hand, she spread all of the medicated powder in her hand on the man’s body. His body was originally already bloody from the lashing. Immediately, it was covered in the powdered drug which mixed with his blood. For a short period of time, that man’s expression changed.

It’s just that, he didn’t scream in pain. The expression on his face was very strange, so much so that he was even wearing a smiling expression.

“I......why do I......so itchy, SO ITCHY!” The man dressed in black struggled endlessly, wanting to reach out to scratch himself, but his hands were tied and simply could not move. He was like a worm as he twisted and turned, desperately trying to scratch his back against the metal pillar in an attempt to ease his discomfort a little.

Gradually, his voice changed, brimming with a difficult to constrain suffering. Listening to this was horrifying. It warped unceasingly, while the expression on his face was weird and sinister. The seven or eight guards watching inside the torture chamber displayed great changes in their expression.

Itch? Itching that was even so difficult to endure?

They felt the suffering just thinking about it. This would absolutely be much more difficult to bear than pain. Not only these guards, even Nalan Ye’s complexion darkened. His eyebrows knit together as he looked at Luo Qing Luan, as if he had just gotten to know another facet of hers.

Following this, Luo Qing Luan picked up a longsword by the side and cut off the ropes binding him. He also had people remove the iron chains which were restraining him. That man was no longer able to stand it as he fell to the ground and scratched himself as if his life depended on it.

Everyone watched as he scratched himself until he bled. Even though he scratched until he bled and scarred, until he scratched away his skin and flesh, so much so that some went as deep as to make his bones visible, he still didn’t stop.

Luo Qing Luan narrowed her eyes and gave voice. “Give him a basin of water. Pour it on his body.”

She walked to face the moaning leader dressed in black, whose pain only ceased with great difficulty. Her appearance was as serene as before. “It’s your turn again. This time, are you speaking or not?”

Quaking from head to toe, how could that leader be as arrogant and obstinate as before? He looked at Luo Qing Luan in alarm, as if the pretty young lady before him was actually a homicidal devil. He couldn’t nod fast enough. “I’ll speak! I’ll speak! We are assassins belonging to the Dark Blood League. It’s the General’s Mansion’s Luo Cheng’s side madam who spent thirty thousand taels of silver to ask that we kill you!”

Just as he finished speaking, he begged her again. “I’ve told you everything, I’m begging you, don’t torment me. Release me from my suffering, please?”

“Wang Xue Ru......” Sure enough, it’s her.

Luo Qing Luan muttered this name which she knew well and no longer bothered with anything else. She already obtained the answer she wanted. This should clarify a lot of things for her.

Even if the cause of her mother’s death was still not certain, surely based on the surprising fact that Wang Xue Ru spent thirty thousand taels to have assassins take her life, merely this fact alone, provided her with a ninety percent certainty. She knew that Wang Xue Ru could not be unrelated to her mother’s death.

Looking at it from another point of view, even if Wang Xue Ru did not hurt her mother, as of now, her wet nurse died because of her. This enmity was something that she will slowly settle with Wang Xue Ru.

Seeing Luo Qing Luan walk out, Nalan Ye had his subordinates deal with those two people and immediately followed after her.

Once more returning to the previous bedroom, he watched as Luo Qing Luan started to eat the already cold food on the table. Based on this, he knew that she already untied the knot in her heart. He immediately had people remove these dishes and cook some fresh food again. He watched Luo Qing Luan eating calmly. For a time, he wanted to ask something, or to console her, but Nalan Ye felt that he didn’t know what’s best to say.

Tonight, he again saw another facet of hers, cruelty and coldness which could compare to those cold-blooded killers. But he didn’t hate it at all, so much so that......he even couldn’t help but birth a bit of tenderness towards her.

If another girl her age were in her place, very likely, she would’ve already been scared into fainting early on? But Luo Qing Luan wasn’t. Instead, she even used her own methods to make the assassins reveal the person behind the scenes. She was so staunch and unyielding, completely unlike those delicately pretty, sheltered noble daughters. Nalan Ye increasingly discovered that he was paying more and more attention to her.

This young lady who stood out from the masses, already started to make him feel moved.

The second day. As before, Nalan Ye didn’t ask Luo Qing Luan to leave. The reason was, she’d been excessively stimulated. If she returned home and allowed Luo Cheng to discover something, how would that not alarm her enemy, Wang Xue Ru?

Observing the somewhat sullen young girl, Nalan Ye stood in front of her with his hands clasped behind his back. One finger pointed at the nice scenery around the courtyard, he said with a smile, “Miss Luo, I’m thinking for your sake. In any case, my mansion is plenty big, it’s pleasantly quiet and secluded, and the view is also not bad. I don’t mind having one more person around. Don’t hesitate to stay here to rest for ten days or even two weeks. What do you think?”

Standing by the door to the room, Luo Qing Luan was only three feet away from him, unable to leave properly even if she wanted to.

What, this person still wanted to detain her?

Ten days, half month? How could he have such nerve? Why not say that he’ll have her stay here for a lifetime, and not go home, for goodness sake? Simply shameless!
