Test of Loyalty [3]

"You want to die." Mother Zhen reprimanded Lu Jian.

He stopped his steps and turned around. Lu Jian knew it was stupid of him to behave irrationally here without knowing anything but his heart that was now beating for his wife could not control his actions.

It was hard for him to behave like his rational self. All these changes and unknown trouble has clouded his mind. He didn't know what to do next?

Everything was confusing.

Shen Ya could see the conflict on Lu Jian's face. Although she was gleeful to see the confusion and sadness, her heart was not at ease to see him like that. After all, he was behaving like this because he was concerned about Zhen Xiu.

It was clear from the stupid action that he was without thinking anything just wanted to see her again.

Shen Ya never thought that she would see this new side of him. In her heart, Lu Jian has always been an emotionless tool that could care less about people around him as long as he reached his goals.

"Lu Jian, calm down." Shen Ya placed her hands on his shoulders to show him her support. She was also worried about Zhen Xiu but her mind trusted Mother Zhen, unlike Lu Jian.

Mother Zhen without wasting her breathe told them about everything that happened inside the spirit chambers. She knew that her ruthless attitude towards Feng Tian might shock these two but she was an honest person and wanted to clarify everything from the beginning.

Shen Ya and Lu Jian were dumbfounded after Zhen Ying Yue finished speaking the entire event inside the room. Shen Ya saw a new side of her aunt that she respected most in this world but there were no negative feelings against Mother Zhen in her heart. If she was in her condition then she might not be so benevolent towards Feng Tian.

On the other hand, Lu Jian finally kept his worries aside. It was clear now that everything Mother Zhen did was for her daughter's benefit. He was now able to breathe properly after confirming that his wife was not in the danger anymore.

"She will wake up after three days and until then you should just stay in your respective rooms."

Mother Zhen politely ordered them. She didn't want to see any mishap occurring here in the ancestral hall which might lead her father Zhen Hong Tian back in the country. She didn't want to see her father before Zhen Xiu's complete treatment.

Her father Zhen Hong Tian would not like it if he saw her again with her daughter.

"How can we just sit and relax?" Shen Ya opposed this idea. Lu Jian was silently standing there without acknowledging Mother Zhen's command. His cold aura coming out from him was a clear indication that he was not intending on following her rules here.

Trusting Mother Zhen was one thing but not worrying about his wife was another thing in his diary. Even if he was a ruthless man but when he accepted things, he abides by them and since he had excepted his feelings for his wife, he would stay here on guard.

He was ready to obey every command of Mother Zhen if she could treat his wife back but never would he go and enjoy his life while knowing that his wife, his love was fighting at death's door.

He was not that irrational. Before he could harden his heart because he felt nothing towards her but now that he has felt these overpowering emotions for her; he could not just silently go away.

He knew that he was selfish.

Before he didn't care about her and now that he suddenly has feelings for her; he was concerned.

It was true but he couldn't just change his past. All he can do now is to learn from his previous mistakes.

"I will wait."

Mother Zhen was stupefied. They both were wasting her and their time arguing over this matter.

"Little Ya and Mr. Lu, I know you are worried about my daughter but please understand my situation too. You can enter inside the hall because of blood jade bracelets but since you guys are not really blood-related to us. It will soon be emptied out."

Mother Zhen clearly told them her reason for sending them away. It was because she fears that they will be sucked by those chamber walls if the protection from the jade bracelet evaporates.

Being non-related by blood, they could only use these jade bracelet to move around this place.

These bracelets do not guarantee full protection to them. It will lose its effect if they continue to stay here for the entire seven days. It can only last for four days. Right now, she only had these bracelets for them to use as of now.

"You should go and wait in the outer region. There are rooms for you to rest." Mother Zhen told them about the previous arrangements done by her for non-related guests.

Lu Jian didn't protest much after knowing the reason for sending them out.

"When are we allowed back in?" He asked her without losing his mind again. This time he would not lose his cool.

Mother Zhen appreciated his cool-headedness and approved of him as a person.

"After Yue'er wakes up, I will inform you and then you can come back and meet her."

"Alright aunt. We will be going now." Shen Ya agreed.

They left the room without giving Mother Zhen any more problem. They knew that this was not the time to argue mindlessly.

Mother Zhen didn't see them out and immediately returned inside the spirit chambers.

There she saw that the chaotic energy inside the room was almost non-existent. Her daughter's new body was already formed and the old body was already transparent, just like a spirit.

These two were the real form of her daughter. A hybrid, half-human and half-celestial spirit.

During her previous death, it was forcefully extracted out from her body.

On the other hand, Feng Tian was still fighting with the pressure. Dark red blood was flowing out of his mouth and he was barely alive.

Zhen Ying Yue was shocked to see him standing there still alive. According to the books, left by her late husband, Feng Tian should be absorbed by the orbital walls.

It was truly strange. Why was he still able to take the pressure of orbital walls?

Wasn't he the one that killed her Yue'er back then?
