Lord of the World - C111
Leng Jun was about to leave the Divine Martial City, but he had one thing to do. More accurately, there was someone he still needed to see.
On the night of the Divine Martial City, other than the officials and whores who were there to play with the men, everything else seemed very quiet. It was the same for the residence of the Minister of Finance, who held the most authority in the entire Divine Martial City.
Leng Jun arrived outside the walls of the Finance Minister’s house, seeing that there was no one around, he stepped over the wall, and like a ball of cotton, he quietly landed on the ground without making a sound.
Leng Jun hid in the darkness and observed the environment inside the courtyard. Leng Jun did not know where Zhu Qingyun’s room was, but he guessed that in this kind of noble family, Miss’ room should be above the pavilion in the backyard, which was why he chose the wall at the back door to jump in. However, when he looked up, the entire courtyard was pitch black, and he had no idea which one was the target he was looking for. If he recklessly charged in, he might even be treated as a rapist again.
However, without any clues, he could only search one room at a time. After making up his mind, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a cold light flash from a corner of the courtyard.
Leng Jun was extremely vigilant, upon seeing this, he immediately stopped, and continued to hide in a corner, then looked towards the direction where the cold light came from.
At this moment, it became pitch black again. Nothing could be seen. Leng Jun felt that his senses were right, the cold light must have come from some kind of weapon.
Leng Jun thought in his heart: “Who is it that dares to barge into the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer so brazenly? Could it be that another person from the Earthly God Palace has set their heart on Zhu Qingyun again? ”
Thinking of this, Leng Jun couldn’t help but feel anger rising from his heart, and secretly make a vow. If the person hiding in the shadows wanted to harm Zhu Qingyun, he would definitely not let him off lightly.
Leng Jun did not know how many people had arrived, so he did not dare act rashly. All he could do was hide in the darkness, staring fixedly in that direction. He decided that if the other party dared to take any actions, he would punish them.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Leng Jun finally started to make a move. However, it was not the place where a cold light had just appeared. Instead, a person walked over from nearby. “This person was dressed in a very familiar outfit. It was the exact same uniform that Hua Linglong wore every day.
When the Swordsman was about to reach that corner, he suddenly made a hand gesture. Then, a person flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
After the Swordsman disappeared, another Swordsman that was dressed the same as him appeared in the flash just now. He also gestured in the direction that the Swordsman had disappeared in, and then walked in the direction that the Swordsman had come from.
It seemed like they were not thieves of some sort, but rather guards sent by Divine Martial City. It seemed that after the incident with the captives, the security at Zhu Qingyun’s home had increased by a lot.
After Leng Jun understood this point, he started to observe the surroundings of the courtyard carefully. Sure enough, after this observation, he discovered that at least six or seven of them were hidden guards.
Seeing how tightly guarded the Zhu Qingyun family was, Leng Jun felt a lot more at ease. At least he no longer had to worry about the people from Earthly God Palace finding trouble with Zhu Qingyun after he left. However, this also prevented him from seeing Zhu Qingyun again.
Leng Jun was not afraid of these guards, if he barged in, he could at least meet Zhu Qingyun at first glance. But if that happened, there would undoubtedly be more people that would come, and the result would only be trouble for Zhu Qingyun.
Leng Jun sighed in his heart and was about to leave. He did not know if it was because of the connection between their hearts, but Leng Jun suddenly had a strong feeling that he was looking at the pavilion across from him.
Leng Jun could not hold back the strange feeling in his heart, and he raised his head to forget about it. At that moment, a window in the attic suddenly opened. A beautiful young lady appeared at the window, if that was not Zhu Qingyun who he was thinking about day and night, then who else could it be?
Zhu Qingyun leaned on the windowsill, and dragged her chin with one hand as she looked up at the bright moon in the sky. It was unknown as to what she was thinking in her heart.
Leng Jun’s ecstasy could not be described with words, he looked at Zhu Qingyun from afar, and thought: “Why is she not asleep yet, is she thinking about me? Yes, it must be so! ”
As Leng Jun thought about this, he almost couldn’t resist calling out Zhu Qingyun’s name. However, he endured it in the end. Being able to see the person in his heart, he was already very satisfied.
Zhu Qingyun was also missing Leng Jun. She was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Ever since she had left Leng Jun, she had felt as if every day was like a year. Her heart was filled with depression, and she didn’t know when she would be able to see Leng Jun again. Or perhaps, this blanket meant that they would be separated from each other, never to see each other again.
Zhu Qingyun felt an invisible pressure surrounding her that kept pressing down on her until she couldn’t breathe. In the end, she chose to stand up and go to the window, using the moon in the sky to entrust her lovesick.
Maybe everything that happened was destined, or maybe she had some kind of telepathic connection with Leng Jun, she suddenly had a strong feeling that Leng Jun was not far away from her.
Zhu Qingyun’s eyes unconsciously looked towards the center of the courtyard. From top to bottom, she saw Leng Jun hiding in a corner of the courtyard.
Was that really him? Was it the person who made him daydream and yearn day and night? That’s right, Zhu Qingyun was sure that the person she was looking at was Leng Jun.
Zhu Qingyun really wanted to fly over and jump into the arms of the person she loved. But she was the same as Leng Jun; she knew that it was impossible. She knew that there were many Swordsman s with Divine Martial City hidden in the courtyard, and there were even s who were protecting the divine hall hidden in the Divine Palace, living at home. Once they found Leng Jun, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhu Qingyun could only look at Leng Jun from her pavilion, her eyes full of joy, happiness, and worry.
Leng Jun also noticed that Zhu Qingyun was looking at him, responding to her with the same passionate look.
The two of them were only a few meters apart from each other, but there seemed to be a bottomless chasm between them, and no matter what, the two of them would not be able to jump into that chasm. They could only stand on both sides of the canyon and look at each other with deep emotions. They could only use the fiery gazes of the two of them to dissolve the endless pain in their hearts.
The two of them looked at each other quietly, time flew by, and it was already late at night when the chickens were crowing. Leng Jun knew that he had to leave. He lifted the hem of his long robe, and deeply kissed the green bamboo that Zhu Qingyun had embroidered with her own hands. After that, he turned around and left Zhu Qingyun’s house.
On the pavilion, Zhu Qingyun watched Leng Jun’s disappearing figure, and two streams of hot tears fell from her eyes. Those were her tears of happiness after feeling Leng Jun’s friendship.
