Realms In The Firmament

Ye Xiao felt warm in the heart.

Song Jue cared for him from the bottom of his heart. That was the bond between families.

It was priceless!

”Good! Kid, you are a man now. Hahahaha. Like father like son.” Song Jue was so happy. He laughed loudly and then looked at Xuan Bing, who was wearing black robe and silk mask. His eyes lit up and he laughed even more happily. ”Xiao Xiao, good for you. You must know how much I miss you two. You actually came together. I am so happy today. Hahaha…”

”Uh?” Ye Xiao looked at Song Jue with confusion. Apparently, he didn’t understand it.

”Stop pretending! Is this supposed to be a surprise? Well, you got me!” Song Jue laughed and said, ”You are a good lad. You actually found Bing’er and brought her to me. I have been working so hard trying to find her earlier, but I got nothing. Hahaha. Bing’er is a good girl…”

Ye Xiao’s expression changed. He stopped Song Jue. ”Uncle Song, this must be a mistake.”

Ye Xiao wasn’t impatient. What Song Jue said was too much. Song Fei insulted her so all those men were dead because of her fury. What if Song Jue pissed Xuan Bing even though he didn’t mean to?

If Xuan Bing felt offended again, Ye Xiao, Song Jue, Han Bingxue, and all the others would have to die!

Song Jue laughed and spoke arrogantly, ”Bullsh*t! Stop pretending, you little prick! Your Uncle Song has sharp eyes. I never mistake people. She is Bing’er! If she isn’t, I will dig out my eyeballs and step on them on the floor! You may not be as familiar to Bing’er as I do!”

And then he said seriously, ”Look. Xiao Xiao. Bing’er is alone. She got nobody. You have to treat her well. You have to at least give her the position as a concubine! I am making the decision for you! I can!”

He pointed at Xuan Bing and said, ”The girl is wise and lovely. What? Do you think it is a loss for you to have her as your concubine? Stop nagging. Or I will slap you hard!”

- Bang! -

It sounded loudly.

Han Bingxue fell to the floor after staggering for a while when he heard what Song Jue said. He just couldn’t believe what he had heard.

[Concubine?]

[The girl?]

[That…]

”Is this world crazy…” He held his head and shouted, ”I don’t understand it anymore… What is this… Oh… Heavens…”

The ’concubine’ idea had a huge blast on his mind. He felt like fainting when he heard what was said.

[Xuan Bing!]

[That is Xuan Bing we are talking about!]

[Song Jue must be daring. He actually pointed at her and talked about how she would become Ye Xiao’s concubine… and even called her Bing’er… like he was so sure about it…]

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly and said, ”Uncle Song, it’s a mistake. Really. She is not Bing’er. No…”

What he had in mind was to hope Xuan Bing realized how important and irreplaceable Song Jue was, so that she would spare his life. However, he knew he would have to be punished!

His smile was utterly bitter because of it. Song Jue was not Han Bingxue. Han Bingxue was arrogant, but he knew what he should do and what he shouldn’t. He knew clearly there was somebody he couldn’t mess with. He knew clearly who Xuan Bing was. However, Song Jue had a bad temper. He would do anything he wanted if he was emotional. He would never accept a punishment from a young lady!

Song Jue shook his head and said, ”How is that possible? Are you blind? That is Bing’er! Listen, if you dare to abandon Bing’er, I will slap you real hard, kid…”

Then he turned around and carefully looked at Xuan Bing again.

Xuan Bing was standing there, with a huge mass of cold qi around her.

Was she mad?

No. Not really!

She was upset!

She had been trying to hide herself. She even covered her entire body. She didn’t want anybody to recognize her. Song Jue, however, didn’t even take a close look at her, but he actually knew it was her.

That was why she was upset!

However, she wasn’t mad at Song Jue. Song Jue was always nice to her. He was actually kind and gentle like a father to her. What he said to Ye Xiao was for her own good. How could she possibly be mad at such a man?

Besides, Song Jue didn’t say anything wrong. Bing’er was actually a concubine to Ye Xiao and she enjoyed it. She wanted to be his concubine!

However, after all, that was Bing-er not Xuan Bing!

She was now the great Elder Xuan Bing of the great Misty Cloud Palace!

What Song Jue said only brought embarrassment to her.

Ye Xiao didn’t know Song Jue was right at all.

”Uncle Song, you are wrong…” Ye Xiao hurriedly stopped Song Jue and even started to beg him, ”She really isn’t her.”

Song Jue looked at Xuan Bing. He was shocked. He murmured, ”No? Really? But…”

”I said no… She isn’t!” Ye Xiao nodded.

Song Jue felt embarrassed.

When he saw Xuan Bing in her black clothes following after Ye Xiao, he just had a strong feeling that she was Bing’er. He was so happy so he just said what he had in mind.

However, after rational observation, the lady was all covered behind the clothes and mask. He had no evidence to tell that she was Bing’er.

Besides… she didn’t feel exactly like Bing’er after all…

[Well… that is…]

Song Jue was embarrassed. [It is normal that sometimes I mistake somebody for someone else… but I didn’t even see her face earlier… What happened to me? Why would I say it out without thinking!]
