Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Cruel Destiny

Long Yifan was silent for a while before saying,

"Sister, why are you worrying about these small matters? I will take care of it. Don’t worry..."

"How could I not, Fan’er?" Jasmine asked coldly.

This was the first time her gentle facade crumbled since she woke up and Long Yifan knew that the only reason Jasmine was so cold...was because she was truly angry this time.

Long Yifan felt helpless. "Sister, please..."

"Answer me Yifan. Who is more important to you, me or mother?" Jasmine asked.

Long Yifan’s brows furrowed and he said,

"Sister Why are you asking such a strange question."

"Because I want to! Now tell me."

Helpless, Long Yifan could only retreat,

"I like both of you."

"Then you should listen to our words equally, right?" Jasmine imposed her next question.

"Yes."

"I want you to break off your engagement with Gu Aihan and go and chase Gu Jin." Jasmine gave her verdict.

Long Yifan froze.

Seeing Long Yifan’s expression, Jasmine’s heart softened. She walked up to Long Yifan and patted his shoulder,

"I know it is difficult for you to ignore Mother’s last words. Yifan even though I don’t want to go against her words, sometimes it is better to ignore the unreasonable requests.

Even if you don’t tell me...I know what Gu Aihan’s true nature is."

When Gu Aihan’s name was mentioned a cold expression appeared on her face.

How could a sister like her brother’s fiance, if the fiance keeps on cheating on her brother and acting all innocent?

It was simply too disgusting.

If Jasmine had the power, she wanted to replace Gu Aihan and let Gu Jin be her brother’s fiance...how great that would be...

Suddenly Jasmine’s head started to ache and she held her forehead,

"Ah!"

"Sister!" Long Yifan’s face paled and he hurriedly moved forward to hold her.

He picked her up and moved her to bed. Then he gave her a glass of water and was about to leave to call the head butler when Jasmine held his hand and said,

"No need, I am fine."

"But..."

"I said I am fine!" Jasmine emphasized the word ’fine’

Long Yifan stopped and sat beside Jasmine,

"Sister please don’t put pressure on your brain because of some nonsense."

"Fan’er..."

"Sister! Please! I beg you. Don’t interfere with my life." Long Yifan begged.

Jasmine could only sigh helplessly.

"Anyways, let’s leave the capital for some time and go to some other place. Explore nature and live in a faraway place for the time being.

Our cultivation is too advanced and we don’t need to rush things up."

"Fan’er you..."

Long Yifan hugged Jasmine and said softly,

"Sister, I was truly scared. I don’t want to lose you. Please... let’s go somewhere else, okay? I need a break."

A break from the current reality.

A break from the horrible future.

A break from those haunting things.

And a break for the upcoming war...

"Okay." Jasmine sighed.

This was the third time when she saw her brother so vulnerable.

Even if she wanted to change his mind, she would do it when he was in a better mental state.

..........

Midnight.

A figure entered Gu Jin’s room and stood beside her bed.

Gu Jin subconsciously felt danger approaching her but for some reason, she wasn’t able to move at all.

She couldn’t even open her eyes.

A unique fragrance lingered near her and suddenly something cold but jelly-like thing was pressed on her forehead.

Gu Jin was instantly on alert.

A few seconds later the cold touch disappeared.

Gu Jin hurriedly opened her eyes and touched her forehead.

Nothing.

Hm?

She sniffed the air, but there was no smell other than hers.

Gu Jin’s eyes turned cold and she asked the space,

"Who entered my room?"

"Master, what are you talking about?" The space asked in a surprised tone.

"Hm? Someone just now pressed something on my forehead. I am asking who was that person." Gu Jin thought that the space didn’t understand her words, hence she explained patiently.

"No. Master according to my detection method, no one entered the room." The space declared. "Master perhaps you suffered from REM sleep?"

"Huh? What is REM?" It was the first time Gu Jin had heard such a word.

"Rapid eye moment, Master. It’s a stage of sleep where the brain is very active, and dreams are most vivid. It can sometimes cause a sensation of being awake or aware while still in a dream state."

Gu Jin frowned.

"So you’re saying I imagined it?"

"Yes, Master. There was no one here. It must have been a particularly vivid dream."

Gu Jin lay back down, feeling uneasy but unable to refute the space’s words.

The sensation had felt so real. She decided to remain cautious.

However, even after staying awake for the next 2 hours, nothing happened.

.....

The next day.

Gu Jin left the house before anyone could wake up.

She left a note to Jasmine explaining that she had some important work to do and that she would meet her next time.

When Jasmine found out the note she shook her head helplessly.

She couldn’t deny, that to some extent she was able to understand Gu Jin’s pain. This feeling made Jasmine confused.

How could she understand Gu Jin’s feelings?

She had never fallen in love...at least that is what she thinks.

’Hm...looks like I have to investigate this matter...’

Long Yifan who was standing behind Jasmine saw the note too.

His heart couldn’t help but clench in pain.

After breakfast, Jasmine and Long Yifan too decided on a destination and left.

Of course, the head butler followed them since he had to monitor Jasmine’s condition and also give her the necessary medicines.

He didn’t forget to leave a message for Gu Jin.

.................

Once her lectures were over Gu Jin left for Long mansion.

Today she planned to take Ying Yue with her. When Ying Yue knew Gu Jin’s decision, she was filled with happiness and followed Gu Jin to her villa.

Just as she was packing her bags, Gu Jin received the letter left by the head butler.

"Dear Jin,

I know by the time you will receive this letter, I will have already left for my next destination. Due to some reason, I can’t tell you my current location and will not be able to meet you for the time being. I hope that the next time we meet, you will become stronger and I will meet a completely new version of Gu Jin. If you need any help, just come back to the Long Mansion. If someone bullies you, you can tell the other party that you are Maximus’s subordinate.

Lastly, Jin’er I hope that you will meet someone who will truly one you. My blessings are with you. Take care."

Gu Jin pursued her lips and her eyes turned a bit red. She took a deep breath and put away the letter carefully.

She closed her eyes and when she ensured that her emotions were in control, Gu Jin entered Ying Yue’s room.

"Sister I am ready, lets go."

"Okay." Gu Jin nodded.

Soon Ying Yue and Gu Jin left the Long Mansion.

Looking at the cold state of the Long mansion the servants couldn’t help but whisper among themselves,

"Truly...Miss Gu was the lucky charm. As long as she stayed in the mansion, the mansion was much more bright!"

"What’s the use now of saying that...she would never return, here."

"Why?"

"Isn’t it clear...Miss Gu likes our young master but was rejected."

"How do you know?"

"Hehe! It’s a secret! Anyways, now Miss Gu would never return here."

"Hey! Destiny is truly cruel if you can’t bring two people together, why even bother to let them meet."

"Indeed, if destiny was a person it would definitely be a naughty child! Unreasonable and irritating."

An old servant who was hearing their conversation couldn’t help but laugh.

"Hey! Grandma Ru, why are you laughing? Was the joke so good?"

Grandma Ru shook her head and said,

"I am just amused at your description. From my perspective, if destiny were a person, it would be an old man who knows what to do when and at what time.

After all, once a person told. Destiny is a magical thing. To open the door to a new future, it will first close the door to the old past."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Grandma Ru your words are always so difficult to understand!"

"Yeah!"

"I give up!"

Grandma Ru only chuckled and continued to do her work. Seeing her like that, the other maids could only shake their heads and start to work again.

................

Gu Jin’s villa.

Gu Jin held Ying Yue’s hand and said,

"Yue close your eyes."

"Okay~"

After a few seconds, Gu Jin said,

"Now open your eyes."

When Ying Yue did so, she was stunned.

The rooftop was now replaced by the vast galaxy and the floor was now replaced by the lush green soft grass.
