1656: Would Not Be Able To Call Yourself A Human

Would Not Be Able To Call Yourself A Human

It pained Yaoyao to see her like this. She blamed herself for it as well.1

If she had not been so careless, they would not have been implicated.

Bao Yu wanted to bow to her, but Yaoyao stopped her. "Why are you trying to bow when you're in this condition?"

She had no choice but to forgo formalities. When Bao Yu saw how worried and guilty Yaoyao was, she quickly comforted her. "I'm fine. I just have some scratches, but Kong Ming…"

"I'll take a look at him," Yaoyao said quickly. 

Bao Yu was still hung up about Kong Ming's injury, so she said, "I'll go with you."

"You're an injured patient too. You should be good and stay in your room. I'll visit him and if there is anything serious, I'll let you know later, alright?" Yaoyao tried to talk her out of it; she did not want Bao Yu to hurt herself further.

"My wounds aren't serious." Bao Yu's expression darkened. It was hard to hide her worry. "I can't help feeling anxious when Kong Ming is still unconscious. When Wanyan Jin suddenly discovered our hiding place, he tried to hurt us. Kong Ming was the one who took the hit."

"Wanyan Jin?" Yaoyao was taken aback. She turned to look at Long Yin. "Why does that name sound a little familiar?"

"He's the ruler of Danjue," said Long Yin. Bao Yu had already told him about Wanyan Jin when they were outside the thick forest, which was why he was not surprised.

"What does he want with me?" Yaoyao frowned. A thought crossed her mind and her eyes widened. "Did he kidnap me to threaten Father and Mother?"

"Yes." Long Yin nodded.

A chill ran through Yaoyao. "It's fortunate that you managed to reach me in time. Otherwise, I would have been taken to Danjue."

Long Yin took the opportunity to lecture her. "Don't you dare disappear into a crowd the next time you see one."

"I know." Yaoyao's head fell. She felt extremely guilty. "I couldn't hold myself back and ran into the crowd when I saw the street performers." It was mainly because her big brother and the guards were with her that she had let her guard down. She never expected that she would be drugged unconscious and abducted because of her excitement. If not for Kong Ming and Bao Yu, her big brother would not have gotten to her in time to rescue her.

"Those street performers were suspicious as well, weren't they?" Yaoyao suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "That performer who was spitting fire ended up burning some people. He caused a commotion in the crowd that gave Wanyan Jin the opportunity to drug me."

Hexin felt guilty as well when Yaoyao mentioned this. "This is all my fault. When those flames suddenly came at me, Big Bro Long Yin was distracted because he tried to save me. If it wasn't for me, Big Sis Yaoyao wouldn't have been kidnapped.

Yaoyao placed her palm against her forehead. "How could you blame yourself for this? I was separated from you because of the crowd. It was lucky for you that Big Brother was by your side. He wouldn't be able to call himself a human if he didn't save you in that situation."

Long Yin darted a look at her. "Can't you speak more nicely?"

Yaoyao gave a dry laugh and hugged Hexin around the shoulders. "Anyway, this is not your fault. If you want someone to blame, you should blame Wanyan Jin for being too cunning. He made use of the chaos in the crowd to create a distraction. We weren't prepared for that."

"Come on. Let's visit Kong Ming," Long Yin said and left the room first.

When Yaoyao saw how insistent Bao Yu was to follow them, she and Hexin supported Bao Yu on each side and walked her to Kong Ming's room.

Kong Ming still had not woken up when they entered his room. However, Qi Heng was watching over him inside.

When Qi Heng saw them come in, he quickly got up and said, "The physician just gave him a check. Kong Ming's internal injuries are quite serious and he might only wake up tomorrow."

Long Yin had checked Kong Ming's pulse previously and was well aware of his condition. He nodded when he heard Qi Heng's words.

Yaoyao was still a little worried and went forward to check Kong Ming's pulse. She found that his condition tallied with Qi Heng's description and was relieved.
