YM778.TV Chapter 287 In A Way, He Was Gambling
Lin Jian thought that it made sense, so he obeyed Xiao Fang’s words. He started to regret going here just with the three of them. They were lacking people, they should have brought Xiu along! They were in a hurry and forgot about such an important thing!
Yao Ying and Xiao Fang were rummaging for a little while before they finally found the things that Yao Ying needed.
Xiao Fang said, "Go! I’ll clean up here!" She knew that there was no time left, thus, she quickly pushed him away and dealt with the aftermath.
Yao Ying glanced at her and murmured his thank before he went out of sight once again. Lin Jian and Xiao Fang could feel that their heart was beating faster, due to the adrenaline kicking and it was also combined with worry. They just hoped that Yao Ying would be able to handle it.
Yao Ying arrived at the gate in no time. He made a low whistling sound and Xiu appeared in a flash. Even though he didn’t bring Xiu, fortunately, he had a good subordinate. Lin Jian might not know it, but Yao Ying understood his subordinate’s character best. Xiu had been following around because he felt worried about the young mistress’ condition --- of course, it was also influenced by Xiao Yu, the latter kept nagging him to follow their masters, just in case something happened to them.
Yao Ying sighed in relief that he had told Xiu and Xiao Yu beforehand that he would be gone in a while to seek treatment for Yao Ling. Otherwise, Xiu wouldn’t be here.
"Xiu, you need to hold onto this robe and try to cover the glow!" Yao Ying quickly ordered Xiu. Xiu looked at the glowing symbols and felt lucky that the symbols were only slightly bigger than his palm, otherwise, there would be no way for them to cover up the whole big gate.
"Yes, Young Master!" Xiu quickly did as what he had told to do.
When he saw what Yao Ying was going to do, he asked hesitantly, "Are you sure this is going to work, Young Master?" His lips slightly twitched when he saw what the young master was holding. Was his young master being serious?! He didn’t think that it would work ah~!
"I hope that it works too!" Yao Ying said while sweating profusely. He could only think of this and in a way, he was gambling too!
"Eh... sure, Young Master!" Xiu felt helpless --- he didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. This idea was quite ridiculous ah~!
Yao Ying brought out a big brush and black ink. While Xiu was covering the symbols with Yao Ying’s robe, Yao Ying was busy painting the symbols so it would be covered by the blank ink. Xiu could only gape but didn’t dare to say what was on his mind. This glow happened because of a magical thing, could it be easily covered up by black ink?
However, the black ink was actually able to make it dimmer but not entirely stop the glow. Yao Ying looked at his work and became smug because it looked like that this method was working. They could just cover it up with the robe and all would be fine!
Xiu looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief! How could such a stupid method work?! He could only admire his young master’s luck ah~! The once majestic and precious looking symbols became... er... how should he explain it? Became as dark as charcoal... Nothing could be seen but still... the glow was leaking here and there, although it wasn’t as bright as before.
However, suddenly something changed... the glow was getting brighter --- far brighter than the previous glow which Yao Ying stopped by hitting the back of Yao Ling’s head. But now... what should they do?
That was the question that Xiu asked, "Young Master, what should we do? The black ink couldn’t hold it back and there’s a sign that the black ink is melting!"
They really needed to think another way to solve this. Yao Ying gritted his teeth and boldly made a decision... if he couldn’t stop the glow, why didn’t he take the symbols away from the gate and bring the symbols along with him somewhere else?
Yao Ying pulled out his sword from its sheath and said to Xiu, "Continue covering it up!"
Yao Ying didn’t need to see what Xiu was doing because he trusted him. He gathered his inner qi to the sword and he tried to make a dent on the gate. He tried several times before he got any result because the gate was quite sturdy. Once he was successful, he quickly sliced the gate in a circular motion and took away the symbols --- leaving behind a big hole on the front gate.
He didn’t use any protection when he touched the symbols and he could feel his hand was burning because of it. Yao Ying paid no attention to the hot feeling and quickly brought the symbols inside of Aunt Yue’s house --- naturally, Xiu was following him from behind.
Before he arrived at Aunt Yue’s house, something weird happened once again. Even though he felt the burning feeling on his hand at first, it didn’t hurt him --- just made him feel slightly uncomfortable. However, the symbols’ temperature suddenly dropped and turned into warm, then the warm feeling enveloped his whole body... when it happened, the glow started to diminish. After a little while, the warm feeling was gone and the symbols stopped glowing altogether.
What the heck just happened?
Yao Ying and Xiu looked at the symbols in confusion. They didn’t understand what had just happened. Xiu asked softly, "Young Master... why did it happen? Because you touched it or... because you took it from the gate?" However, he believed in the former case than the latter. After all, there was no abnormality happened when the young master sliced the gate just now.
Yao Yin looked at the symbols and his own hand in confusion. He honestly didn’t understand what was going on too! He probably needed to ask Aunt Yue about it, but one thing for sure... he felt like hacking the symbols on his hand. If it only needed him to touch it, then why did he need to paint on it or slice the gate with so many difficulties?!
He could just touch it from the start!
’Damn!’ Yao Ying cursed inwardly.
After the danger had passed, Yao Ying started to get a headache. He was in a hurry just now and didn’t think of any precaution! What should he do about the hole in the front gate? He couldn’t attach the symbols back ah~! He knew that he needed to do something about it or else... people would notice that something was amiss in this forbidden place.
Yao Ying was speechless! He really wanted to pull his own hair in frustration! He turned to look at Xiu and said in a righteous tone, "Xiu... I will give you an important job."
Xiu nodded and asked, "Yes, Young Master?"
Yao Ying threw the symbols on his hand at Xiu and said, "Attach this to the front gate once more!"
After that, without waiting for Xiu’s answer, Yao Ying directly ran away without looking back using his qing gong and went inside Aunt Yue’s house. Xiu was flabbergasted when he saw the symbols on his hand. He cried inwardly, ’Young Master ah~! How do you want me to attach this back to the gate?!’
