Chapter 2666 — Yu Dake's Plan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Brother..." Yu Xiaoke took a deep breath and decided to speak honestly, to lay the matter bare with her brother. Otherwise, if he brought up these things every time he visited, it would drive her to distraction.
"Hm?" Cut off by Yu Xiaoke, Yu Dake was slightly taken aback, but he still said, "What is it?"
"Brother, actually... I already have someone in my heart..." Yu Xiaoke summoned her courage and said it.
"Someone in your heart?" Yu Dake was stunned, then somewhat embarrassed. Only now did he realize he had misread her and been recklessly pairing people off. Thank goodness Wei Zhao was not present—between the two siblings it was nothing, but otherwise he would not have known what to do.
"Yes, that's right. But it's not Wei Zhao..." Yu Xiaoke said. "He is a very considerate and attentive man..."
"Oh? Then who is he..." Yu Dake was curious. After all, it concerned his sister's lifelong happiness, so naturally he was attentive. "Tell your brother about it?"
"Mm..." Yu Xiaoke nodded and slowly began to tell the story of her and Nandao. In truth, she had long wanted someone to confide in, but in the orphanage the only ones she could talk to were the old director and Xiaoken; there was no one else. Now that she had a brother, Yu Xiaoke wished she could pour out everything that had happened over the years to him...
Strange to say, it was a bond of blood born from nature. Though Yu Dake looked nothing like her, Yu Xiaoke was certain he was her brother, and the longer she spent with him, the stronger that feeling grew.
"So that's how it was..." Yu Dake listened to the many perils in the ancient tomb, to Yu Xiaoke's bold attempt to storm the execution ground, and to their reunion at the auction house. This thrilling, stirring tale drew a sigh from him. "You may not have spent much time together, but so many stories happened between you—no wonder you like him..."
Because Yu Xiaoke did not say which ancient tomb it was, and her account was not especially detailed, Yu Dake did not connect it with Zhang Lifeng's ancient tomb, much less with Wei Zhao. Besides, he was only a retainer of modest standing; even if he had heard rumors of Wei Zhao, they were mostly about his instant kills of heaven-rank experts, and he knew little of the specifics.
"Yes. But I don't know whether we'll ever meet again..." Yu Xiaoke sighed. "As for Wei Zhao and me, it's probably impossible. If I had never met Nandao, out of gratitude I would certainly have ended up with him. But now that Nandao is already in my heart, making me be with him would leave me unhappy for the rest of my life..."
