The Blind Maiden
08. That Man

Su Qionglin lost her balance and fell into the river, she clenched her hands to minimize the pain.

But, the pain did not go away before she finally realized that she landed in someone's arms.

He could feel that this hand was holding his body, an extremely sturdy hand gripping his shoulder.

This cold and hard body did not look like a human body, not even his father's body was this cold.

A strange fragrance struck his sense of smell and his body instantly trembled in fear after that.

This is that guy !

The man had his nightmares every night, with the fragrant trees and the fishy smell of blood.

Su Qionglin's body trembled with fear as his natural reaction was indeed basically too afraid of this man.

"Lian Wang !" Said Su Lian while bowing her head deeply, sounding a respectful and heartfelt tone in Su Lian's voice.

Su Qionglin wanted to break away but the hand gripping his shoulder did not slack off in the slightest.

"Uncle ! You came very early, I should have come and taken you for a walk. " Say the Seventh Princess in a spoiled tone and walk to the side of this man called Lian Wang.

But, this man calmly brushed aside the Seventh Princess as if of no value.

"The Seventh Princess should keep her attitude in front of others. Otherwise, wouldn't all my struggles on the battlefield be a waste ?" Ask Lian Wang.

"Lian Wang, this is my brother, the eldest daughter of General Su. Thank you for saving her, I Su Lian owes you. " Su Lian said politely and wanted to take Su Qionglin but this Lian Wang did not let go in the slightest.

"I've just seen that it looks like, there's an interesting show. Seventh Princess, is this your attitude towards guests ?" Ask Lian Wang.

"Uncle, this is all just a misunderstanding. This cheap lady did such a despicable thing and slapped Ying Lin, she should be given a lesson !" The Seventh Princess.

"This is a banquet to welcome myself and General Su back from the battlefield and you are saying that we should feel proud to risk our lives for this Empire without asking for anything in return ?" Ask Lian Wang.

"Uncle, uncle, this is all just a misunderstanding. That's not what I mean, it's a complete misunderstanding. Please don't misunderstand this, Uncle. " Answer the Seventh Princess in panic.

"You should explain this to your father later. " Lian Wang said then released Su Qionglin which made Su A Qionglin almost fall down.

Fortunately it was helped by Su Lian, Su Lian hugged Su Qionglin's body which was still trembling.

"Sister, brother ? Did you hear me ?" Su Lian asked in a panic.

"I'm fine. " Murm Su Qionglin.

The Seventh Princess also did not dare to throw any more tantrums after getting a harsh reprimand from her Uncle.

(Lian Wang is a title given by the Emperor against his nobles and this one word like Lian shows his status higher compared to a person with two words like Bei Yan Wang. )

"It was the younger brother of the Emperor, General Ling, He was also referred to as the King of Hell, he had the title of Lian Wang. He was a very talented person, only Dad said that he was a very cruel person. He will kill his enemy indiscriminately. Even if he was 25 years younger than Dad, he had killed more than Dad. " Whisper Su Lian.

Imagining this made Su Qionglin become more and more afraid, who was not afraid when imagining that he would face this monstrous monster.

This was truly frightening, imagining this bloodthirsty person always appearing in his dreams.

"Is he married ?" Asked Su Qionglin.

"Married ? No, it shouldn't have. He is 21 years old, this year. And he had returned with his ninth victory, just imagine since when he started killing others. " Su Lian replied still with horror.

"Sister, you can imagine for yourself how heartless he is by letting go of big brother just like that. If I don't catch then big brother will fall down, when isn't he able to release well either ? Is there anything wrong with making it turn out to be so rude and arrogant like that ?" Su Lian asked in annoyance.

Su Qionglin did not reply just feeling the pain on the shoulder pressed by Lian Wang earlier.

"Ah, yes, I forgot to mention his name. She has a birth name, Ling Yi. But no one dared to mention his name except for the Emperor, otherwise no one would know what the consequences would be. He is truly a terrible tyrant, do not be related to him again in the future. " Whisper Su Lian in horror.

While Su Qionglin himself was already sweating coldly, imagining someone with a terrible smile and hands gripping his face.

Forcing her to cry, isn't that crazy ? But, when he heard Ling Yi's personality, he turned even more fearful.

His back was drenched in cold sweat that fell down without anyone knowing it. Unwittingly by Su Lian, Su Qionglin's hands were still trembling until this point until they finally met their parents who had been looking for them with worry.

"Dad ! Mother, sister ! Earlier, Brother Qionglin was bullied by the Seventh Princess and Ying Lin, Brother Qionglin was pushed down into the stream -" Su Lian's remark was cut off by Su Yun's earlier worry of Su Bei.

Su Yun came forward and held the two Su Qionglin clothes in worry.

"Which one hurts ? I will report this to His Majesty and ask for an explanation, what does this action mean ?" Su Yun asked furiously.

"So, you said ! This is the Palace, open the residence of Su !" Mistress Su's perspiration coldly.

"Listen to me first ! Brother Qionglin is fine, as it was helped by Lian Wang. We've thanked him, it's just that his temperament isn't as good as Dad said. " Su Lian said clearly.

Hearing this made Su Bei become even more worried compared to when she heard that Su Qionglin was pushed down.

"So, what about her ?" Su Bei asked worriedly.

Who does not know that this nature of Ling Yi is crazy and uncontrollable ? Running like a crazy horse that can't be restrained.

"Sister Qionglin was fine, it was just that his nature was really cold. He rebuked the Seventh Princess and said some great threats, she was like the biggest rock and was unshaken by the wind and water. " Su Lian said innocently.
