Novel Bin Chapter 1669 - Framed (3)
Those men at least had Father blocking them away so I didn’t have to do anything, but now that asshole has Father in his fingertips. What am I supposed to do....
“Lotus, I fear it’s not that simple with that Bai Xiao. Those in the past only want you and the wealth your family can provide, but this guy must be up to no good. You already saw how he schemed to take the Ice Lotus, he’s probably meditating to do more than just marrying you.” From that warm smile of the pretentious guy, Wen Yi began to lead this stupid lady down the path he wants, “I know now, it must be the Divine God Pill. He’s weak so he wants to also grow stronger. With that pill, he will be able to do just that after stealing it in his next step.”
That actually brought a visible tremble to the lady’s face. Shaking her head in the next like she’s trying to think of something: “How is that possible? Bai Xiao can’t even climb out of bed so how can he steal the Divine God Pill from my father?”
“Did you forget? He had a few friends who came today, do you think it’s a coincidence that they deliberately approached your younger sister Moon at this timing? Maybe their whole purpose is to get the pill from the very start and the Ice Lotus is merely a coincidence. I can’t be certain, but you must remind your father to be careful of everything and everyone related to that person.” Wen Yi says it with such solemn tone that it’s hard to dismiss the possibility in the eye of the girl.
Getting depressed again at the mention of her old man: “But my father is already convinced of Bai Xiao’s intent, he won’t believe my words. And if I go to him and tell him about your opinion, Father will surely misunderstand you some more.”
“Then the Divine God Pill....” The guy continues to keep the conversation a round that item since he doesn’t want to leave it.
“Don’t worry, that is placed inside the altar room by Father, some outsider wouldn’t be able to get there on his own. The location won’t be a problem.”
Altar?
Wen Yi raised an eyebrow, his mouth nearly unable to stop from laughing out aloud.
So that’s why.... The Divine God Pill is inside the altar room, no wonder I couldn’t find out where it was from Snow Hawk’s concubine. Sleeping with that old hag was such a pain, though she did look fantastic for a middle woman. That bastard must’ve been on to me for a while now. I need to finish up with my plan soon less he acts against me....
Softening up until his voice could melt hearts: “I am relieved then Lotus, you have no idea how worried I’ve been for you and your family since that outsider came into our lives. We must continue to be vigilant around that person, there are a lot of bad people who wants to take advantage of others in this world.” After saying that, the guy went ahead to lean down at the nearby rose patch and plucked a piece from the bush to offer it over to the girl.
Snow Lotus of course felt elated at the offered gift, but her sight had lost sight of the thorns on the stem there and easily pricked her own finger, letting blood draw from the small cut.
“Lotus!” The guy hurriedly grabbed hold of her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief, his eyes showing pain and regret: “It’s all my fault, you’re hurt because of my carelessness....”
Seeing the unabashed lovey eyes coming her way, the girl melted away like she’s eating honey: “I’m alright Cousin Wen Yi, don’t worry about me.”
“This won’t do, you are my precious Lotus. Even a prick from a rose is a prick to my heart. Come, let me take you to your bedroom for rest.” Acting like he’s relieved over her statement, Wen Yi casually tossed aside the handkerchief and plucked her right up into a princess hold and left.
This would’ve been a real princess and prince story right out of a fairy tale, issue was the guy didn’t leave for long in this case. Minutes later, Wen Yi had returned in haste and picked up the blood-stained fabric from the ground. Others may not know the details but the altar room’s doorway had been sealed with a spell to keep intruders out. Only those with a direct bloodline of the Snow Clan could open it, and he wasn’t one of them. That’s why he used the rose to get some from Lotus, and now he has it!
