Chapter 1384: Chapter 139 Ah Dai Departs_2
Xing Er’s change in attitude caught Xuan Yue off guard, as she murmured, "It’s just because you are young, in a few more years, you will be even prettier than me."
Xing Er walked to Xuan Yue’s side, took her hand, and said, "Sister, you must treat Ah Dai well! Brother is too honest and too kind."
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, little sister. Don’t worry, since I love him, I will naturally treat him well. I didn’t expect that I’m not the only one who has fallen for the foolish Ah Dai! Sister, I once heard from Ah Dai about the process of saving you, but his storytelling was so poor, it wasn’t exciting at all. Could you tell me about it again?"
Xing Er excitedly said, "Sure! Sister, let’s chat here for a while. I also want to hear the story between you and Brother Ah Dai. He’s so dull, I really don’t know how he won you over." Saying this, the two gorgeous women laughed together, dispelling the slight shadow in their hearts. They sat under a large tree and began whispering.
Ah Dai followed Babuyi into the Elf Forest. Babuyi was consistently unhurried, leading the way ahead, and ten minutes later, still showed no sign of stopping. Worried about Xuan Yue and Xing Er, Ah Dai couldn’t help saying, "Brother Babuyi, let’s just talk here. What is it that you urgently needed to see me for?"
Babuyi, roused from his thoughts by Ah Dai, had been pondering how to execute his plan flawlessly. Turning around, he faced Ah Dai and said, "Don’t call me brother. You are just a commoner, and I am the Judge of Light of the Holy Court, our statuses are completely different. Just call me by my name."
Hearing Babuyi’s arrogant words, Ah Dai frowned slightly and said, "Alright, Babuyi, whatever it is, you can say it now."
Babuyi’s tone softened slightly, he sighed and asked, "Ah Dai, in terms of appearance, background, or martial arts, in which aspect are you better than me?"
Ah Dai was taken aback and honestly replied, "You are much more handsome than me, come from the Holy Court, naturally, that’s better than mine. As for martial arts, we’ve never sparred, so I’m not sure."
Babuyi smiled satisfactorily and said, "Do you know what my real identity is?"
Ah Dai said, "Aren’t you the Judge of Light of the Holy Court?"
Babuyi nodded and said, "Correct, I am the Judge of Light of the Holy Court, my father is the Deputy Judge. Since I was very young, I have been striving for excellence, diligently practicing martial arts. Through my efforts, I have now become the youngest Judge of Light in the Holy Court. Among the young generation in the Holy Court, I am the most outstanding. My father and Uncle Xuan Ye are close friends, and they arranged a marriage between Yue Yue and me shortly after we were born, so, I have another identity, that is Yue Yue’s fi—an—cé."
The last three words of Babuyi, like three massive hammers, heavily struck Ah Dai’s heart, he exclaimed, "What, you, you are Yue Yue’s fiancé? This is impossible, it can’t be true. Yue Yue has never told me about this. I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it." He just couldn’t believe that Yue Yue, whom he deeply loved, was already someone else’s fiancée.
Seeing that Ah Dai had fallen into his trap, Babuyi calmly said, "Denial is useless, this is indeed the truth. Yue Yue and I have grown up together, childhood sweethearts. In the Holy Court, everyone knows we are a match made in heaven. We have had affection for each other for over a decade, which you cannot compare to at all."
Ah Dai trembled slightly, his heart now completely engulfed in conflict, he weakly argued, "But, but Yue Yue said she loves me!"
Babuyi scoffed, "Love you? Do you believe that yourself? Yue Yue is so beautiful, and the Pope’s granddaughter, would she fall in love with you, an unremarkable commoner? Let me be frank with you. The reason Yue Yue has been with you all this time is out of gratitude, to repay you for saving her life back then."
Ah Dai was shaken, shouting loudly, "No, that can’t be. Yue Yue and I truly love each other, it can’t just be gratitude, I, I..."
Babuyi, having the upper hand, sneered, "These were Yue Yue’s own words to me, could there be any mistake? Later, I will prove it to you. Do you know how much Yue Yue has sacrificed to repay your kindness? She willingly gave up her privileged life in the Holy Court to seek you out, trying her best to fulfill a few of your wishes. For you, today Yue Yue even had a big argument with Uncle Xuan Ye. Since Yue Yue is a girl and also engaged to me, Uncle Xuan Ye does not allow her to be with you anymore, but Yue Yue still insists on repaying your past kindness. I don’t know when you realized Yue Yue was disguised. But do you know why she has always disguised herself as a man while following you? It’s because she is afraid you might harbor improper thoughts. You say Yue Yue loves you, but that is only her not having the heart to reject you, not true love. I am a man, how could I watch my own fiancée always be with someone else? That’s why I called you out to make things clear."
Ah Dai turned pale, indeed! How could Yue Yue, of such noble status, fall in love with him? She had always disguised herself as Xuan Re to be with him and not let him know her real identity. Gratitude, do I need gratitude? With Babuyi’s words, Ah Dai now believed them to be mostly true. His heart ached to a point where he could hardly breathe, leaning against a large tree next to him, supporting himself to remain upright, he stared at Babuyi and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"
