Inside the car, Ming Yue sat alone at the back seat. Her face stared at scenery outside, drowning in her own thought. She already ordered the four beasts, Silver Moon and Ling Mao to return ahead of her to Heavenly Space. She wanted some time alone for herself..
Closing her eyes, Ming Yue started recalling things, started from the first time she arrived at Tianshang De Kongjian. At the time, the four beasts were happy, No.. TOO happy to see her. Ming Yue thought it was because they had a new master after a long time but at that time, she was summoned to Heavenly Space. They had the expression saying that they KNEW her. Now that Ming Yue thought about it, there was subtle hints here and there. The tension expression they showed when Silver Moon was confused between the term 'Original Master' and 'Current Master', Xuan Wu who said that the mortals should worship her instead, Silver Moon who recognized her with the word, 'This soul..', it started falling into place.
Ming Yue snorted in mockery, thinking how foolish she was for trusting that she was accepted because of who she was. It turned out, what they saw was her soul or the person who was NOT her.
Exhaling a heavy breathing, a smile of irony faintly appeared on her face.
'Maybe.. in the end.. I am destined to be all alone..' Ming Yue mused.
Yang Lixin watched Ming Yue time to time from the rear mirror. He saw the changes on her expression and thinking that whatever it was plaguing her mind right now was not a good thing. She looked desolate as if she only had no one else in this world.
"Young Miss.." Yang Lixin braved himself to call Ming Yue out, "I think it's not good to think too much."
Ming Yue didn't give any reaction, she just stared at the window, watching the scenery passing by slowly. Yang Lixin who saw Ming Yue didn't give any reaction, could only heave a soft sigh.
"What will you do, if the people you trust lied to you?" Ming Yue asked after a short uncomfortable silence between the two happened.
"Of course I confront the person first then decide after listening to the other story." Yang Lixin answered firmly. "I will be angry of course, but anger can come later after I listen. Whether to forgive or not, that decision can come after."
"As expected of someone older, they have more life experience." Ming Yue said, a faint cold smile was on her face but deep down, she felt quite ashamed for seeking another person's opinion despite her soul being older than 15 years old. She was 25 years old, for heaven sake!
"I am not a wise person, young miss. I just don't want to regret. Regrets only come after everything is too late after all." Yang Lixin retorted as misery flashed on his face before he returned to his professional calm expression.
Regret..
In the past life, Ming Yue regretted a lot...
She regretted having hope toward her mother, thinking that if they met again, her mother would be sorry for her and accepted her again. However.. she only got scorns and insults..
Ming Yue felt at that time all of her hope had vanished, leaving only wounds of the heart.
The car arrived at Wu Mansion. Ming Yue got off the car after it was opened by Yang Lixin, she walked toward the front double door but her steps stopped halfway. Turning around, Ming Yue called out to her driver.
"Mr. Yang."
Yang Lixin who wanted to return to driver seat but stopped when he heard Ming Yue called out to him. Staring at the beautiful girl, he answered. "Yes, young miss?"
"Thank you." Ming Yue said, "For the advice." There was no smile on her cold looking face but gratitude could be heard in her tone.
"It's my pleasure to help you, Young Miss." Yang Lixin replied, a cool smile appeared on his face. He watched the beautiful girl nodded once and entering the front door before he entered the car and parked it at the side of the mansion.
Ming Yue entered the mansion and as she walked toward her room, the maids and head butler greeted her politely. She nodded and gave them a polite smile as answer. Along the way, she only paused for a short while to ask where was her mother and grandfather. It turned out, Fan Mei and Grandpa Wu were out.
Arriving in her own room, Ming Yue locked it before closing her eyes and returning to Heavenly Space. As she opened her eyes, the Moon Palace was in front of her eyes, along with the four beasts and Ling Mao in their human forms. Ming Yue stared at them for a while, before opening her mouth to speak in cold tone that sent shivers to Ling Mao and tension to the three beasts while only one remained calm.
"...We need to talk."
