Repairing the Past

Chapter 42

The atmosphere in the Chu general's private room suddenly tensed up as Mo Yan stood face to face with the general.

Both faces look bad. Mo Yan's hand took out a vein due to the strong grip. Although still with a flat face but a cold aura still emanated from the iris of his eyes.

"I won't change my mind. Miss is my current employer. It is his commandment that I must listen to." Mo Yan said with a heavy and resolute voice.

General Chu glanced with a sharp gaze as if he wanted to hit Mo Yan who had said presumptuously for forgetting who was talking to him.

"You're so loyal. As the father of the child you're guarding, I really appreciate the loyalty you've given me. You just need to know the limits! Do you think I don't know what your relationship is like? I'm asking you to go away from Chu Yao not only for your safety, but for the sake of maintaining the child's reputation!"

"Do you know what the impact would be if you stayed with the feelings you had? I think you already know who Chu Yao really is. Didn't you manage to follow me all the way to the emperor's private room?!"

The general's words sounded like a lightning strike. Instead of trembling in fear, Mo Yan still remained standing firm with an above average calmness.

For ordinary people, the general's attitude and speech just now was enough to stir emotions and intimidate the interlocutor. But not for Mo Yan. He who has passed the hard training directly guided by the general seems to be able to master himself.

It wasn't easy for the old man to have Mo Yan's emotions provoked.

"Yes, I know the lady is the noble daughter of the emperor. " Mo Yan replied briefly, "But, I also know that the emperor also wants to eliminate the life of the miss with bone-melting poison. That's why I take care of him. I will never allow someone to hurt miss, even if it's the emperor's own majesty!"

"CURRENT!!!" Raung general Chu with the pull of a sword that drew right in front of Mo Yan. "You have dared to spy on us. Don't you want your head on your neck?!"

"I'm just following orders and I don't regret it. "

The young man did not flinch. He remained firm in his stance.

"I'll keep my distance. So please big master give permission. I was by his side just to protect miss." Clearly Mo Yan knew himself.

It was only natural that general Chu was blocking their relationship, because the status that Mo Yan was holding right now was not worth the status that Chu Yao possessed.

What happens if a princess along with her personal bodyguard who does not have a definite future.

Wouldn't that be an insult to the Empire's face.

General Chu did not move. The tip of his sword still pointed at the symmetrical-faced man in front of him. The eyes of both of them were sharpening. As if ready to skin each other in one breath.

"You think I don't know where you're from? Do you think it would be the same if Chu Yao knew that you were one of the residents of Alorra who had been slaughtered by his biological father... "

"... You think I raised you without calculation? Letting you be the personal bodyguard of the emperor's biological daughter was indeed one of my plans!"

Mo Yan reflexively retreated as the general's sword advanced and nearly pierced his chest skin.

"Thank you sword! Fight with me! I'll judge how well you stand in front of that girl!"

General Chu shouted until the people around his private pavilion turned their heads.

Mo Yan did not follow the instructions. He only moved quickly to avoid attacks carried out by the general repeatedly.

"You underestimated me!"

"No sir!"

Mo Yan did not want to fight the person who had been meritorious in his life. Moreover, the person is a parent who is respected and loved by the woman he loves.

The general's anger did not want him to respond. Mo Yan considered, the actions that the old man took were solely for the good of the two of them. Merely, he did not willingly have to part with Chu Yao.

Even if he had to die, he would never leave the girl alone. Because only he knew how fragile Chu Yao's self-defense was. The girl only shed tears in front of him.

The notoriously stubborn and merciless girl was actually just a masked ordinary girl with an arrogant attitude.

"It seems you don't want to use a sword. Alrighty! I will obey your will!"

General Chu threw the sword at just any place and came back to shower Mo Yan with kicks and martial fists.

At first, Mo Yan was able to dodge. But over time the general's punch managed to land right on the chest until Mo Yan fell backwards and vomited fresh blood.

The loud noise caused by the fierce fight of the two trained people had seized the attention of all the residents of the mansion.

Madam Xun and Chu Ling stood quite far away watching the fight. It looks like the whole waiter is circling the place. Hustle and bustle inevitable.

Everyone was wondering why the two people who were so well-matched had suddenly come into a disagreement.

Almost on every side in the pavilion it was badly damaged. No one dared to break both. All just watching from a distance while keeping an eye on.

No exception Xier who happened to pass by. His irises caught Mo Yan's figure spewing blood from the blow launched by the general.

The servant suddenly panicked and rushed towards the cold pavilion. He wanted to immediately inform the master of the fight conducted by the general and Mo Yan who had shocked the entire residence.

***

As soon as we woke up, Chu Yao was already on top of the bed. The tail of his eyes caught the flamboyant figure sitting across the edge of the cot while closing his eyes.

Ye Zuan had been there long enough.

Chu Yao tried to wake up very carefully. He sat balancing himself so as not to return to the eye because of the dizziness that is still visible in his head.

"You're sober? Drink this to get your stamina back quickly. " Tanya Ye Zuan while giving some medicine and a glass of water.

Chu Yao took the medicine and drank it without hesitation.

"What happened to make you so surprised? It's not usually you pass out."

"none. I'm just exhausted." Chu Yao replied as she put back on the shoes lying beside the couch, "What brought you here?"

Ye Zuan flicked his beloved fan with a look of disbelief. But the man chose not to talk about it. Although the girl was silent but her pale face had revealed the heavy burden she was bearing.

Ye Zuan handed a small green-colored pot made of low-quality jade to Chu Yao.

"This is the thing you asked for. The effect is as you wish. The person who drinks it will be asleep for a long time. You better just give him half the pot. Because that dose can already cause a person to fall asleep seven days in a row. "

Ye Zuan sneered, "which human will be your victim?"

"It's none of your business!"

"If it's Mo Yan you'd better use the entire contents of the pot. The young man's stamina was above average. For half pot will have no effect on him." Clearly Ye Zuan while fanning leisurely on top of Chu Yao's bed.

"... "

Ye Zuan closed the fan with a single blow. He got up and walked over to Chu Yao who was standing by the window.

"I won't interfere in your affairs regarding the medicine. Do what you want as long as it doesn't go against the plan we've laid out."

The eighth prince instantly disappeared along with a gust of wind behind the window.

Chu Yao stared at the eccentric man's departure. His brain made a flashback some time ago when he ordered A-Wei to deliver a message to one of Ye Zuan's bodyguards.

He asked Ye Zuan for help to find a drug that could cause the drinker unconscious for a long time.

Chu Yao again walked towards the dressing table and picked up the small jade pot there. He was silent for a moment and then put it in his pocket in a quick motion.

From far away we heard footsteps accompanied by loud calls. Xier walked quickly to the lady's bedroom.

As soon as he approached the door, the girl arrived in sweat and almost staggered down. Instantly Chu Yao caught him quickly.

The girl bowed and thanked me. But still leaves a trembling body movement. His face looks wrinkled. It was as if there was something important he wanted to say as soon as possible.

"What's wrong with you? Breathe well. " Task Chu Yao while giving the servant a glass of water.

Xier immediately gulped down the water he received then said, "Miss, quickly go to the grand master pavilion! Mo Yan and the big master were having a great fight!"

Chu Yao was shocked. His pale face was getting whiter. Without delaying time, he immediately left the cold pavilion behind him.

His footsteps were so fast that they made quite loud footsteps in the corridor of the pavilion.

Within minutes, Chu Yao and Xier were already in the general's private pavilion. People seemed to fill the place.

The servants instantly made their way when they saw first lady Chu moving closer to the center of the crowd.

Chu Ling snorted hatefully when she realized the stepbrother had been just a few steps away from where he stood.

As for the mother, she was barely aware of Chu Yao's presence due to her concern for the husband who was currently almost as battered as Chu Yao's personal bodyguard.

"Look at the behavior of your bodyguards! How dare he attack the father who has given him life! I really don't know what to do!" Read Chu Ling with a tinge of red on her face in anger.

Chu Yao retorted with a rude swipe, "Mo Yan will not just attack and he is a man who knows the favor."

"Fuck your theory of rebuttal! You'd better give him the punishment to set an example for the other servants. Only a lowly slave but dare to act! His life alone is not worth a single strand of father's hair!"

Chu Yao clenched her lips with a hardened jaw. His fingers suddenly out of control until unconsciously have been on the neck of the stepbrother. The servants as well as Madam Xun who were among them turned to focus on Chu Yao's outburst of anger.

"What are you doing?! Chu Yao, let Ling'er go!" Mistress Xun shrieked with panicked eyes as she looked at the child's face paled with a reddened neck due to the grip of Chu Yao's hand.

Chu Yao did not budge. He only focused on bluffing his stepbrother who was getting overboard, "You can say it to me but not Mo Yan! Once again you grumble, I'll make sure your red wedding dress is a delivery to your coffin!"

Chu Yao's fingers slipped off with a jolt of Chu Ling's breath. The stepbrother choked and coughed small. Madame Xun railed against Chu Yao with mockery and carried her beloved child back to her private room.

Chu Yao did not take a dizzy.

He even ordered everyone to go to their own places. Except Xier. The two girls stared at the struggle of the general and Chu Yao's personal bodyguard from a distance.

The two men had bruises on several parts of the body and face.

Xier frowned a few times when he saw fresh blood coming out of Mo Yan's lips. The young girl unknowingly reveals a secret they had long kept without her knowledge.

"If it continues like that, will Mo's bodyguards be able to survive? Hasn't the effects of toxin removal started to arise lately?"

"What do you mean by poison transfer?"

Xier instantly shut his mouth with both hands. His eyes were shocked as if he regretted what he said.

"Say!" Urge Chu Yao with an intimidating and provocative look.

Xier desperate. He swallowed the saliva and tried to find an excuse to divert the conversation. Yet Chu Yao grew increasingly impatient.

"SAY!!!" Repeated Chu Yao with a slight hardening until Xier closed his eyes and trembled in fear.

Xier bowed down and asked for forgiveness. He had to reveal the secrets he had kept. With a heavy heart he told me. From beginning to end.

Chu Yao's knee was weak. Almost made it fall on the ground. But Xier caught the body of the master deftly.

"So the curse poison that Shu Xian had given back then was transferred to Mo Yan?"

Xier nodded with a puddle of tears, "true miss. Guards Mo asked us to keep all of this a secret from Miss. We did all this for the good of the lady. Please miss not to punish Mo's bodyguards and the others. I'm willing to endure it all."

Chu Yao bit her lips and frowned. His gaze straightened at the figure of Mo Yan who was putting up the horses with a breathless breath.

"You're saying the poison's been rumbling lately?"

Again Xier nodded in favor of.

"It's only fitting that Mo Yan's performance wasn't so good against father. It was possible that at this moment Mo Yan's physique was unstable. Looks like he's holding back the pain from that motherfucker's poison."

Chu Yao clenched her hands and turned towards the servant, "Xier, have Uncle Tong stand guard in my room with his medicine box. "

Xier didn't delay time. He also said goodbye and immediately fulfilled the master's order without any objection.

As for Chu Yao, he waltzed confidently towards the two people who were still fighting in front of him. With a single breath, the girl's voice echoed and caused the activities of the two fighting men to pause for a moment.
