It was almost two o'clock in the morning when Ling Jue finished her homework. Tang Yuan returned to her room as if it knew that she had finished her homework.
"Lord Jue, you have to go to school at half past six. You should go to bed now."
"Okay... Um, what happened to Lord Tang Yuan?" Ling Jue grabbed it. "Is it because I haven't been with you recently?"
"No, master has a lot of work to do. The imperial Gu should understand and help master, not cause trouble for master."
Ling Jue knew that something was wrong with Tang Yuan. Wasn't Tang Yuan's brain like Tang Wan's now?
"Tang Wan brainwashed you?" She was a little displeased. Who asked it to turn the cute Tang Yuan into a machine?
Tang Yuan's face darkened. "Tang Yuan wasn't sensible in the past and caused Lord Jue a lot of trouble. Tang Yuan will do what an imperial Gu should do in the future. It won't trouble Lord Jue anymore."
"What's there to worry about?" Ling Jue looked at Tang Yuan's serious face and felt very uncomfortable. "We grew up together. I hope you will always be little Tang Yuan... If not for my little Tang Yuan, I would not be alive."
It reached out and held one of her fingers. "Lord Jue, it's half past two. You should go to sleep."
Ling Jue looked up at it. For some reason, she suddenly felt very upset. Her Tang Yuan was gone...
Why did it have to be gone? The Tang Yuan that fought with her for food and joked with her was gone.
She had a little thing that looked like Tang Wan. It reminded her to go to sleep every day and live for her. It was like a tool.
Tool... A tool without feelings...
Why did it have to be like this...
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Ling Jue looked at it gently. "Who took my little Tang Yuan away?"
Its little claws scratched her palm, and its big blue eyes turned dark blue. "No one. In the future, Lord Jue will have a very obedient Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan has activated its inheritance and knows how to make itself better, to make its master better. No one can bully Lord Jue anymore."
"Tang Yuan..."
"It's time for Lord Jue to go to bed." It looked at her with a smile. "Lord Jue must work hard."
The color of its pupils turned dark blue, no longer blue...
The little hair on its head also became flat. It did not have the little hair that would stand up when it was happy.
Ling Jue stood up and went back to her room. Tang Yuan watched her leave and flew back to the roof to cultivate.
Ling Jue called Feng Yulin. Tang Wan must know what was going on.
"Hmm, did you miss me..." Feng Yulin's hoarse voice came from the other end.
"Let me look for Tang Wan."
"I know what it knows." Feng Yulin knew that Ling Jue would ask, so he was not surprised.
"What's with Tang Yuan?"
"It said that it doesn't want to cause you any more trouble."
"Hehe, it took away my family and gave me a tool. Is this not going to cause me any more trouble?"
"It means Tang Yuan."
"..."
"That little guy chose its own path."
"I don't want this. I want Tang Yuan back..." Ling Jue's voice was a little choked up. Why would she want this? She did not like this at all.
"They have their own choices, and since it chose it..."
"Choice my ass! You guys will never know how important Tang Yuan is to me! I don't need a tool! It will never be my tool!"
Ling Jue hung up the phone. She turned off her phone, feeling very upset.
It was like her sister who grew up with her suddenly left, never to return...
