~ THE LOSS OF MENG HANDONG ~
Yue Wang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly smiled and extended his hand: “Come!”
Mu Yunyao raised her hand and swiftly moved it away just before she touched Yue Wang’s finger. A trace of craftiness flashed across her eyes, “Men and women shouldn’t be intimate with each other. Fourth Master must learn to be respectful.”
A hint of disappointment quickly flashed through Yue Wang’s eyes. Seeing that Mu Yunyao had already arrived in front of his horse, he hurriedly followed behind her.
Yue Wang’s horse was black. Its body was tall and sturdy. Seeing Mu Yunyao walk over, it lightly snorted and gently took two steps forward as she approached.
Mu Yunyao reached out her hand to touch the horse’s head, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Yue Wang stood behind her. Looking at her cautious movements, her happy and carefree smile, he felt as if time had calmed down in an instant. He wished that he could stop right at this moment.
Mu Yunyao turned her head, the smile in her eyes becoming even stronger. “Fourth Master, can I go up and have a try?”
Yue Wang walked forward and used both his hands to hold her waist. He then forcefully lifted Mu Yunyao onto the horse’s back and passed the reins over. “Hold tight. I’ll help you lead the horse. Don’t be afraid.”
There was a sudden increase in weight on horseback, so the horse took two small steps and then stopped on the spot obediently.
Mu Yunyao cried out in alarm, her cheeks turning slightly red from nervousness, “Then you have to be careful. Don’t ever drop me.”
“That’s not necessarily the case. When you want to fall, you must find the right direction before you fall. If you fall on my side, I can reach out and catch you. If you fall on the other side, that’s not certain.”
“Previously, the Grand Princess had said that you were stubborn and taciturn, but I didn’t notice it.”
As Yue Wang led the horse forward, he paid careful attention to Mu Yunyao to prevent her from fall down. “Naturally, that is different.”
“What’s the difference?”
“The Grand Princess is my aunt. She is related by blood and has many years of feelings. She understands my personality, and she understands many things even if I don’t say them. But you...” Yue Wang suddenly stopped and slightly lowered his voice. He was clearly looking for the common word you, but he still gave others a feeling that he was intimate with her and made people feel romantic.
Mu Yunyao blinked and slightly leaned forward, “What’s wrong with me?”
Yue Wang stopped in his tracks and looked up at Mu Yunyao. His eyes seemed to reflect the blue of the sky and seemed boundless. “You are a girl that I love. Naturally, I have to put in a lot of effort in order to encircle you.”
Mu Yunyao subconsciously held her breath as she tightly grasped the reins in her hands. Her body leaned even lower than before as she approached Yue Wang from her horse. She coldly snorted and said, “These words, where did Fourth Master learn them from?”
The intentionally created ambiguous atmosphere was no longer present. Yue Wang could not help but let out a light cough: “Where did I learn from? It naturally come to my mind when I see you.”
In the past, he also felt that he was not good at words. Even on many occasions, Eunuch Chen was worried that he would die alone in his old age if he continued like this. But after meeting Mu Yunyao, he always wanted to express all the thoughts in his heart so that she could clearly see what he was thinking.
Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang seriously. Her chest was beating so fiercely that she could even clearly hear her own heartbeat. “Fourth Master …”
Before he could speak, he heard a sudden sound breaking through the air. Yue Wang’s pupils constricted as he quickly made his move and pulled Mu Yunyao away, then directly lifted her off the horse. An arrow with unstoppable momentum flew above Mu Yunyao’s head, and with a ‘pa’ sound, it knocked away the jade-green step on her head!
Mu Yunyao’s eyes turned cold as she abruptly turned her head in the direction the arrow had come from.
Meng Handong drove his horse over slowly and pointed his longbow and feather arrow towards Mu Yunyao. “Aiya, it’s Miss Mu. Just now, there was a vague shadow in the forest. I thought it was a fox that had run out of nowhere, so I shot an arrow. There will inevitably be a miss on this hunting ground. It’s fortunate that I didn’t harm Miss Mu. Otherwise, I would just....”
Meng Handong rode a horse around the trees in front of him, and when he saw Yue Wang, who was standing next to Mu Yunyao, his face immediately turned white. He hurriedly got off his horse. “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, why are you here? I Just...”
Yue Wang’s expression was cold. His entire body emitting a cold killing intent, just like the wind and snow were passing through here. He took his bow and arrow from the horse, then aimed straight at Meng Handong’s direction, his eyes cold and without any warmth as he pulled on the bowstring forcefully.
Mu Yunyao coldly said, “I haven’t even seen a fox, but I’ve seen a wild dog.”
Meng Handong didn’t pay attention to Mu Yunyao at this time. As he spoke to plead for mercy, he slowly stepped back, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, I didn’t do it on purpose just now. I really thought I saw a fox and shot an arrow. The jungle in the hunting ground is dense, and many people are accidentally injured by arrows every year. Although I made a mistake, I were not able to injure both of you. Thus, I hope that Your Highness will be magnanimous....”
Last night, Yue Wang had kicked Meng Yanran flying, and his expression was as calm as it was now. Even if he wasn’t favored by the Emperor, he was still a prince. Thus, the Emperor would never punish his son for his sake. “Your Royal Highness, you ... what are you trying to do?”
Seeing that Yue Wang was about to let go of his bowstring, Meng Handong no longer cared about talking anymore. He immediately turned around and ran away.
Yue Wang slowly moved the bow and arrow in his hand. After Meng Handong running for about twenty steps, his fingers suddenly loosened, and the arrow shot towards Meng Handong with a ‘whoosh’ sound, breaking the golden crest on his head with a ‘pah’ sound.
Meng Handong directly fell to the ground, hurriedly raising his hand to touch his head. Only after he discovered that his crest was broken, and it didn’t injure him, did he finally heave a heavy sigh of relief.
Just now, he was obstructed by the forest and didn’t see Yue Wang, who was helping Mu Yunyao lead the horse. Otherwise, no matter how brazen he was, he wouldn’t dare make a move in public.
Remembering that Yue Wang should be out of anger after shooting himself with an arrow, Meng Handong slowly stood up. He turned around and wanted to say a few more words of apology, but just as he turned his head, he saw Yue Wang draw his bowstring again and aim precisely in his direction.
Meng Handong’s eyes widened, filled with fear. “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang … Please forgive me this time for my grandfather’s sake, Grand Preceptor Meng. I won’t dare to cause trouble for Miss Mu anymore.”
Yue Wang slightly narrowed his eyes as if he hadn’t heard Meng Handong’s words. His fingers loosened their grip, and the arrow shot towards Meng Handong. Before he could react, it pierced through his palm.
Mu Yunyao’s eyes trembled, and then she felt a warm current flow through her heart. Previously, when Meng Handong gathered in front of the Palace, he had killed the horse, which caused the carriage to shake. She was unprepared for a moment, and the back of her hand ruthlessly smashed against the door. Although she could not feel the pain now, there were still traces of blue and purple. Yue Wang had accurately pierced through Meng Handong’s hand, definitely to avenge for herself.
His hand was pierced through by the feather arrow, and Meng Handong let out a painful howl. He clutched his arm and trembled, and fresh blood flowed from his hand. He looked extremely miserable.
Mu Yunyao raised her hand and swiftly moved it away just before she touched Yue Wang’s finger. A trace of craftiness flashed across her eyes, “Men and women shouldn’t be intimate with each other. Fourth Master must learn to be respectful.”

After a long while, Meng Handong finally clenched his teeth and endured. He looked at Yue Wang with a pale face: “Your Royal Highness Yue ang, is this enough to avenge everything that happened previously?”
Meng family just needs to be taken out of that ancient made up dynasty’s gene pool
ReplyDeleteI agree. I wonder if the grand preceptor is going to side with his stupid grandchildren or sigh and wish they'd been taught better.
DeleteWow… even if they think Mu Yunyao is powerless, how are they this stupid? 😒
