Chapter 143 Checkmate (2)
The dagger held by Situ Yaohua was shining with a black light. At a glance, one could guess that he must’ve poisoned it. Zhao Zimu slanted to a side and took Lin Qing to dodge with her. Emperor Jinghui didn’t care about Lin Qing’s life, but she did.
In Situ Yaohua’s point of view, that not eye-catching small eunuch took Lin Qing and dodged his dagger. Suddenly, the small eunuch rapidly came at him. Before he could react, that small eunuch grabbed his wrist and pulled it down. With a ‘pa’ sound, Situ Yaohua felt that his wrist had been broken. The dagger fell down with a sound.
Enduring the pain, he looked at the person who had attacked him. It was still that ordinary and indifferent face. Situ Yaohua truly didn’t know when Lin Qing got such a person at his side. He couldn’t help but glance again at Lin Qing and this glance stunned him.
Situ Yaohua had never thought that Lin Qing’s always gloomy face would show such a gentle expression and Lin Qing’s gaze had never left that person from the moment he (ZZ) broke his (SY) wrist.
Who is he?
Situ Yaohua couldn’t help but look at the person in front of him. He (ZZ) had let go of his wrist. Situ Yaohua knew that they didn’t dare to do anything to him. Although, he would be finished soon, no one could take away his life except for his emperor father. Hence, he didn’t fear anything. And precisely because of this reason, Zhao Zimu followed behind Lin Qing for fear that Situ Yaohua would be a cornered dog who would jump over the wall. The reality was also as she had expected.
A cornered dog who would jump over the wall: be driven to a desperate action.Zhao Zimu’s gaze was very cold and wished to kill Situ Yaohua immediately, but because of the consequences of his identity, she had no choice but to retreat. She wasn’t so arrogant to think that she could go against the monarch of Great Liang. So, she just wanted to take Lin Qing away from this place and never participate in these disputes again. By then, the two could roam the world together, live in seclusion in the mountains and wherever is beautiful would become their home.
“You,” Situ Yaohua suddenly felt that the gaze of the person in front of him was a bit familiar and faintly resembled the person who had caught his attention. He couldn’t help but shout once, “Zhao Zimu?”
Zhao Zimu paused for a moment. Afterwards, she walked to Lin Qing, but she didn’t expect that another person appeared suddenly not far away from Lin Qing and looked at her with complicated eyes. The next scene made her heart almost jump out of her heart.
Situ Yuanxiao suddenly approached Lin Qing and struck him with a dagger across his neck. Situ Yuanxiao looked at her coldly and asked fiercely, “Who are you?”
His dagger lay across Lin Qing’s neck. A strand of blood followed along the shiny blade and hit the floor as if it was hitting Zhao Zimu’s heart.
“Zhao Zimu!”
Zhao Zimu raised her head to look at him, but Situ Yuanxiao was taken aback by her reaction. Then, he showed an expression that was yet a smile and yet a cry and said, “Can it be that this is your name…?”
His voice was very bitter and sour and she was stupefied.
“The first time I saw you was because of Ningan. At that time, I only felt that you were unbridled, arrogant and not knowing the immensity of the heaven and earth. And had charmed my younger sister so much that she lost her state of mind. Afterwards…” Situ Yuanxiao didn’t continue and only said, “Actually, do you know how much I wanted to kill you?”
“Give him back to me.” Zhao Zimu looked coldly at Situ Yuanxiao and said, “Also, Situ Yuanxiao, the one you are talking about is my younger sister and has nothing to do with me. Now, let go of Lin Qing.”
Situ Yaohua also felt that they had made a mistake. After all, the discrepancy between these two people were huge. He had personally heard Zhao Zimu mention her elder brother before, so, he felt that he had made a mistake. However, Situ Yuanxiao didn’t retrieve his gaze. Instead, Lin Qing who was under the control of the dagger, laughed. He turned his head to Situ Yuanxiao and said, “Fifth Highness, she is mine. Whether she is a male or female, she is mine. Even if I die, she won’t be yours. Killing me won’t do you any good.”
Zhao Zimu expressionless moved her toes to the dagger that Situ Yaohua had dropped. When Situ Yuanxiao turned to look gloomily at Lin Qing because of what he said, she straightened her toes and kicked the dagger straightly, fiercely and swiftly towards Situ Yuanxiao’s left shoulder.
With a puff, the blood splashed.
“Zhao Zhong,” Situ Yuanxiao’s dagger had already been shaken off. Lin Qing was quickly pulled back by Zhao Zimu. Situ Yuanxiao smiled bitterly and said, “It is better for me to call you Zhao Zhong. You really don’t give me any chance.”
Zhao Zimu’s expression was cold. Although, Situ Yuanxiao didn’t directly participate in Situ Yaohua’s persecution of emperor Jinghui, but because he had always stood with Situ Yaohua, he would inevitably be implicated. Therefore, he was not afraid of doing more things that overstepped the bounds and he was also not afraid that emperor Jinghui would blame him for this kind of thing. It was the same for Situ Yaohua. He also didn’t put Lin Qing in his eyes. That was why, he wanted to put on a last fight and take this opportunity to kill Lin Qing. However, he didn’t such variable as Zhao Zimu to appear.
Zhao Zimu really didn’t want to stay with these two lunatic brothers any longer. She pulled Lin Qing out without any explanation. Situ Yaohua blocked in front of her. She kicked him away and he fainted from the kick. Like that, he wouldn’t be able to cause any more trouble.
“Will…will you hate me?” Situ Yuanxiao’s faint voice came from behind her.
“I won’t.” Never cared, how could there be hate? Zhao Zimu kept walking forward and pushed Lin Qing with her. Their hands were clasped tightly together. Only Situ Yuanxiao’s sigh could be heard quietly behind them.
He had missed out and thought about her, but in the end, she isn’t his.
TLNote: My friend Yona is starting to translate the book 100 Ways to get the male god. It’s a quick transmigration novel where the MC Yu Chu travels to different realms to collect memory fragments of the Lord God (ML). It is a novel with many mini story arcs. It’s a sweet and fluffy novel with a very sweet and cute male lead. She picked it up from chapter 89 because she got tired of waiting and loved it so much. That is how many translators got into this field XD
