The Antagonists
CHAPTER 20



In the morning Zi Lan was already in Wei Lian's room.


He saw the woman was focused on reading a book, I don't know what book she read.


Tap..tap.


Closer to Wei Lian, the woman looked at herself with a flat expression.


Zi Lan thought it was possible that his wife was still angry at him because of yesterday's incident.


"What are you reading?" Zi Lan asked Wei Lian.


"It's not something that matters" he answered.


Zi Lan grabbed Wei Lian in her arms, occasionally stroking Wei Lian's back.


"I'm sorry for not caring about you yesterday, how are you doing now?" asked Zi Lan.


"I'm fine, luckily Young Master Xu saved me, otherwise I might have died." replied Wei Lian.


Zi Lan also let out her embrace, "I'll punish Meixi, I hope you don't hate her either, I want my two wives to get along."


Wei Lian simply fell silent not answering her husband's words.


"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Zi Lan.


"Actually I was wanting something." replied Wei Lian.


Zi Lan wondered what his wife wanted.


"What do you want Lian'er?" he asked


"I want to train my cultivation again" Wei Lian replied with complete confidence.


"For what?!" asked Zi Lan with her shocked expression.


"With this weak body of mine I may not be able to protect others but at least I can protect myself" Wei Lian replied.


"I will definitely protect you Lian'er, if you practice cultivation again I fear that your situation will get worse." elak Zi Lan.


"But I want to keep training, I don't want to be a burden to others, after all yesterday you couldn't protect me well either." Wei Lian said sadly.


Zi Lan fell silent, it was true that she did not protect Wei Lian yesterday.


"There's actually something I want to talk to you about Lian'er" Zi Lan said.


"What is my husband?" asked Wei Lian.


"You know what the swordsmen ridiculed me like yesterday?" asked Zi Lan.


Wei Lian nodded, and the warriors did denounce her husband yesterday, because he was acting like the leader of the Wei sect.


"I've been taking care of this Wei sect all by myself because you're sick but still they're putting me down like your father used to" Zi Lan said.


Jian Mei was surprised, which she knew all along Zi Lan's relationship with Wei Lian's father was quite good even though at first she did not get the blessing to be with Wei Lian.


"I'm sorry dad" said Wei Lian.


Zi Lan simply fell silent at his wife's apology.


"After a state of calm I will officially announce that you will become the new leader of my husband's Wei sect" Wei Lian said.


"Yet....." Wei Lian stopped talking.


"However is Lian'er?" asked Zi Lan.


"But I don't want Zi Yu to inherit this Wei sect later, I'm sure that I can have another child without jeopardizing my health" Wei Lian replied.


Zi Lan was of course surprised to hear Wei Lian's reply.


Child ? Honestly, he doesn't want it anymore.


"Lian'er I just hope you won't get sick and hurt again, without a child among us now, I'm already very happy." Zi Lan replied.


Both of Wei Lian's eyes immediately turned red, her heart as if torn to shreds by the words of her husband.


"Here I am, I don't want to argue with you, hearing it only makes my heart ache" Wei Lian said.


"I'm sorry Lian'er, but since you want her so badly I'll go to the temple later to pray" Zi Lan said.


"You hear Wei Lian ? In a moment you will definitely be very happy because Zi Lan will be back in your arms." Jian Mei's mind was excited.


"Yes my wife, I also want to ask you something" Zi Lan said.


"What does it mean?" asked Wei Lian.


"Do you know about the book that contains the secret style created by your father?" asked Zi Lan.


Wei Lian was silent for a moment, she was not the real Wei Lian so how could she possibly know ?.


Moreover, in the novel was also not explained about what Yuan Zi Lan asked.


"Don't you know where it is?" asked Zi Lan once more.


"I never knew where you kept my husband, why?" asked Wei Lian.


"It would be great for me if I also mastered it while leading later, that way they would not underestimate me anymore" Zi Lan said.


"I'll try to find him later." replied Wei Lian.


After that Zi Lan said goodbye to leaving, she still had to serve the guests and also keep an eye on the Wei sect disciples.


Wei Lian called Liuli and asked her to close her room.


"What does Madam want to talk about so I have to close this room?" asked Liuli curiously.


"Liuli do you know where I keep the books?" asked Wei Lian.


"Of course in the room, in the library" Liuli replied.


"No, if it was there I or Zi Lan would have read it" Wei Lian replied.


"Then what book does Madam mean?" asked Liuli.


"The book contained the martial technique that my father created" Wei Lian said.


"Ahhh...you mean the bloodstains style?." asked Liuli.


Wei Lian simply nodded in agreement.


"I never knew where Mr. Wei Meng Fan kept it." Liuli said.


Wei Lian was speechless thinking, one must have kept such precious things in a safe and secret place.


"Indeed why did Madam ask about that?" asked Liuli.


"I want to train my cultivation again." replied Wei Lian.


Liuli smiled happily, she was very confident that her Nyonya would make it to the highest stage later.


"I'll help Madam to find him later" he said.


Wei Lian smiled at Liuli's words, indeed her servant always supported her.


"Mrs earlier Young Master Xu Ye Han came here" Liuli reported.


"Where is he now ? I haven't thanked him." said Wei Lian.


"He left immediately as soon as he knew Mr. Zi Lan was here" Liuli replied.


"In a moment we just go to his place, I want to thank him sincerely" Wei Lian said with a smile.


"Madam, I don't think Young Master Xu is a bad person, he helps Madam a lot" Liuli said.


"He's not Liuli's bad guy."


Finally Wei Lian went to the kitchen accompanied by Liuli.


He wanted to make some cooking and cake.


Yes, as his gratitude he wanted to entertain Xu Ye Han with the dishes he made himself.


In his former life Jian Mei was very good at cooking. In a short time he could serve a lot of delicious food.


While cooking Liuli herself was also amazed, since when the Mistress she served was very skilled in cooking.
