Path of the Lilies

60. He Has Died

Wei Family Residence

Wei Shang played with his communication jade as he pondered. It was a tool used to communicate with other people with the help of Eon Energy. Right now, he was pondering about something.

"Wei Shang."

The cold and deep voice jolted him awake from his thought. He put the communication jade closer. "Your Majesty, you've finally replied."

"What is the matter?"

"It's about Ye Ai Xia...."

The moment he uttered the name, Wei Shang could feel that the temperature coming from the other side of the line has dropped several degrees. This name was rather taboo for them because of several reasons.

"Didn't I tell you to kill her if she makes trouble?"

"She didn't create any trouble," Wei Shang replied. "I just need your permission to tell her about Ye Xiao's death."

"You're still trying to get her?"

"Yes," Wei Shang admitted.

The person on the other side of the line stayed silent for a moment. "Fine, but if you fail and that woman turns crazy, I'll come there personally to kill her. This time, I'll not accept any foolish suggestion from you again."

"This shall be the last time," Wei Shang promised.

"Before that, give me a reason why you turn impatient."

Wei Shang didn't immediately answer. When he saw the woman back in the competition a few days before, he was enraptured once again. The beauty that Ye Ai Xia possessed didn't diminish in the slightest. Even though the trace of warmth that used to fill her entire being had disappeared, replaced with coldness, he couldn't forget that sight at all.

He couldn't wait anymore.

"I guess, I just reached my limit."

"Is that so?" the tone didn't seem to believe him in the slightest. "Do what you want, I'll watch from afar."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As Wei Shang cut off the communication, he tapped his table. This shall be his last resort. He turned his head to the servant. "Call Su Lian here."

"Yes, General."

....

Ye Jiao spent the time in the backyard as she leisurely laid down on the grass while enjoying nature. It was so comfortable that she didn't want to move from her place at all. Their place was rather far from the outside world, so she was not bothered by anyone in the slightest.
