215 – Gong Tianyang Visits Again
“Older Sister Xue, I came to play with you!”
When she heard Gong Tianyang’s shouting from outside the courtyard, Xue Qilin just had breakfast.
Last night, Shui Yun’er said that she solved all back end troubles and asked Xue Qilin and Qi Qiqi to freely look for Gong Tianqing’s whereabouts. Although Shui Yun’er didn’t go into detail, but Xue Qilin instinctively chose to believe her, just as the other party believes in her.
Trust should be mutual.
Because of this, Xue Qilin and Qi Qiqi had plans to go to the Gong Clan to ask for information after breakfast. In the end, before they could get out of the courtyard, they met Gong Tianyang, who came to pay a visit with the support of his guards.
But, today’s lineup of guards is different from yesterday. There’s an additional man whose whole body is hidden under a black robe. Today, he is responsible for pushing Gong Tianyang’s wheelchair.
When she saw the man, Xue Qilin raised her eyebrows, faintly depicting the shade of disgust. She sensed the smell of blood — the feeling of decay and lifelessness.
Gong Tianyang asked the guards to stay outside the courtyard.
“Gong Tianyang, why are you here again? When I handed the scholar over to you yesterday, you said you would take care of everything.” Xue Qilin helplessly looked at Gong Tianyang, “Have you perhaps learned about Little Qing’s whereabouts and thus specially come to inform me?”
“So he is Gong Tianyang?”
Qi Qiqi asked softly beside Xue Qilin’s ear, and Xue Qilin nodded back imperceptibly.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Gong Tianyang, who was pushed towards Xue Qilin by the man in a black robe, grinned at Xue Qilin.
“Not at all. It seems that he was just a small fry, he doesn’t know where older sister is imprisoned.”
Xue Qilin humphed softly.
Although she didn’t hold much hope, but she was still disappointed when she heard that she really couldn’t get any leads.
“Then, how do you have the face to come see me?”
“He-he.” Gong Tianyang scratched his head awkwardly, “I want to fish again!”
Fish again? Xue Qilin rolled her eyes.
“Nonsense! You little weasel, don’t you know that yesterday’s trick can only be used once? Who would be fooled by it a second time?”
“Um…” Gong Tianyang crossed his arms, tilted his head, and thought for a while, “Maybe Older Sister Xue would?”
“What?”
“Because Older Sister Xue seems silly!” Gong Tianyang spread his arms and said.
Qi Qiqi chuckled.
“Woah, Gong Tianyang, now how should I teach you a lesson!”
Xue Qilin was so angry that she stomped her feet and pulled up her sleeves, making a show of wanting to spank Gong Tianyang.
Consequently, Gong Tianyang ignored Xue Qilin, looked behind her, and waved his hand joyfully.
“Older Sister Shui!”
Older Sister Shui? Xue Qilin looked back and saw Shui Yun’er, who just came out of the room. She should have detected that something is going on here.
“Gong Tianyang, do you know Little Yun? How do you know each other?”
Xue Qilin never heard Shui Yun’er mention that she knew Gong Tianyang.
According to Shui Yun’er’s character, if she knew Gong Tianyang from the get go, she would have told Xue Qilin.
“Oh, I do! We met yesterday.”
In order to answer the question, Gong Tianyang turned to look at Xue Qilin.
However, just as Xue Qilin was going to ask how they met, Shui Yun’er has already come over and stood beside her.
Shui Yun’er asked with a smile, “Younger Brother Gong, why are you here?”
“I came to play with Older Sister Shui.”
Woah, he just said that he came to play with me, but now he’s saying that he came for Little Yun? Xue Qilin was stupefied by Gong Tianyang’s change of heart.
“Little weasel.” Shui Yun’er gently flicked Gong Tianyang’s forehead, “Older Sister Shui doesn’t believe you. Have you come for Young Teacher?”
Gong Tianyang clasped the place where he was flicked. Then, like a spoiled child, he said with a bashful smile, “I can’t fool Older Sister Shui!”
“I just spoke thoughtlessly, I didn’t expect it to be true.” Shui Yun’er showed a forlorn expression, “Yesterday you said that Older Sister Shui is really smart, that you like Older Sister Shui the most. But today, you shifted your affection to another and came for your Older Sister Xue.”
“There’s no way. Older Sister Shui is really smart, is better than Older Sister Xue.”
“Better how?”
Xue Qilin can’t help but ask curiously. Gong Tianyang promptly smiled brightly and replied in a matter-of-factly tone.
“He-he, Older Sister Xue is really silly! Father said that when looking for a wife, you should look for a silly one!”
What does Gong Yue teach his child! Xue Qilin’s face suddenly turned completely red — red with anger.
“Do you want me to spank you, you insufferable child!”
“Qilin, calm down!”
Seeing that Xue Qilin looks like she’s about to pounce on the other party, Qi Qiqi and Shui Yun’er grabbed her from the left and the right respectively. Because both of them are taller than her, Xue Qilin’s feet were forced off the ground, kicking the air.
Probably due to how funny she looks now, Gong Tianyang couldn’t help laugh uproariously. The black-robed man standing behind him also issued subtle laughter.
“Waah, you’re even laughing! Let go of me! I’m going to teach Old Master Gong’s disobedient grandson a lesson in his stead!”
“How annoying. Qilin, you’re already aged, why are you bickering with a child!”
“What! Do I look aged? No matter from which angle, I only look twelve years old!”
When she heard Qi Qiqi’s rebuke, Xue Qilin struggled more intensely.
Shui Yun’er just kept snickering silently.
Perhaps he felt that they couldn’t have a conversation if this continued, but Gong Tianyang resisted the urge to laugh.
“Okay okay, Big Sister Xue, I know that you have a mental age of only twelve!”
“What! Wow, Gong Tianyang, let me tell you, I’m not done with you!”
Gong Tianyang laughed again, which provoked Xue Qilin to yell out repeatedly. Unfortunately, she couldn’t struggle free from Qi Qiqi and Shui Yun’er’s shackles and thus couldn’t clobber the little bastard in front of her.
“Okay, it’s wrong to tease Older Sister Xue!” Gong Tianyang suppressed his laughter and assumed a stern expression, “Older Sister Xue, I came here to tell you something important!”
Something important — hearing these two words, Xue Qilin calmed down and gradually stopped struggling.
“What is it?”
“Um…”
Gong Tianyang pondered for a while before finally showing a weak smile.
“It’s something related to the future?”
He said in an uncertain tone.
He seems to be perplexed, perplexed about what? Xue Qilin doesn’t know for the time being.
＊
In the inn the three people from the Merak Temple are staying, there is a small garden that the guests can enjoy. Xue Qilin came here while pushing Gong Tianyang.
Today the weather is nice.
The sun hanging high in the sky is a slightly gentle, and the light it radiates is scattered everywhere in the courtyard. Several wisps of wind caress the leaves, making rustling sounds.
Perched on trees branches, birds, who seem to enjoy the weather very much, sway their heads and chirp away.
“Hey, Gong Tianyang, who was that man just now?”
Xue Qilin pushed Gong Tianyang to a small artificial lake, and then finally voiced the question that has been echoing in her heart.
“Who?”
Looking at the shimmering, rippling surface of the lake, Gong Tianyang murmured, “It’s really beautiful… yet it’s clearly just some ordinary scenery. Maybe it’s due to being together with someone you like?”
This brat wants to deceive me again! Xue Qilin didn’t ask Gong Tianyang whom he likes. Instead, she sat down beside him and carried on, “The one who just pushed you into the courtyard — the one in black.”
Gong Tianyang chuckled and shot her a glance.
“Why, is Older Sister Xue interested in him? I didn’t expect you to like mysterious type!”
He’s mischievous teasing prompted Xue Qilin to raise her eyebrows.
“What nonsense, who’d like him.”
I don’t like men — she added inwardly.
“How childish.”
“You’re not qualified to talk about me! Little brat!”
Xue Qilin shook her head hard, and one of her long ponytails softly whipped Gong Tianyang.
Gong Tianyang, cried out in pain, assumed an aggrieved expression, and clasped the place that was hit, faking it. After a while, he answered Xue Qilin’s question.
“He is called a Tailor.”
“Tailor? Xue Qilin ruminated the name and wrinkled her nose. “How can anyone be called such a name?”
“Who knows?” Gong Tianyang shrugged indifferently. Then, he said abruptly, “He’s my doctor.”
In an instant, Xue Qilin turned to look at Gong Tianyang, and her eyes widened.
She cannot connect the man who always emits a strong smell of blood and has an ominous air about him with an occupation such as doctor.
After a long silence, Xue Qilin said with a helpless smile, “Your grandfather has a big heart…”
“Because he let such a suspicious man treat me?”
The corners of Gong Tianyang’s mouth rose slightly, and he asked so faintly.
“Heh, it seems that you have some self-awareness.”
“Of course, I’m not Older Sister Xue.”
When she understood the implied meaning in the other party’s words, Xue Qilin’s face sank, and she rolled her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Gong Tianyang issued several laughs, and then continued, “At first, no one believed this man who suddenly appeared.”
As if he wanted to cover the sun and see more clearly in the sunlight, Gong Tianyang, under Xue Qilin’s gaze, blocked his eyes with his hands.
His hands are so pale and thin that the sunlight could easily pass through them.
“But I did get better with his treatment.”
“By using Little Qing’s blood?”
“Yes, by using older sister’s blood.”
Xue Qilin went straight to the heart of the matter with her question. Gong Tianyang nodded in agreement without hesitation. He didn’t use any excuses, as if it’s only right and proper.
After getting her answer, Xue Qilin lowered her head.
“Why?”
Although the question was vague, but Gong Tianyang understood it. He shook his head quietly.
“There is no why. People, can never accept death. I am the same.”
“That’s all… so you can calmly receive Little Qing’s sacrifice? Gong Tianyang, I don’t think you are such a person.”
Ordinarily, Xue Qilin would have roared these words. But, for some reason, she is not angry at this moment. Maybe it’s because Gong Tianyang is now full of sorrow, she isn’t sure.
“I owe my older sister a lot, so I at least want to respect her choice.”
Xue Qilin heard these words before — from Gong Jing.
Just as Xue Qilin hesitated about how to judge him, Gong Tianyang suddenly added mischievously, “If I say it like my grandfather, will Older Sister Xue be angry?”
