Chapter 42: Sisterly love
Seeing that he didn't say anything Luo Huian also did not press him any further. She stood up from the chair on which she was sitting and said to Ye Shun, "I am not saying that there is anything wrong with not wanting to create unnecessary strife but struggling unjustly is simply foolish."
With that, she turned on her feet and then walked out of the greenhouse. However, when she reached the entrance of the greenhouse she met with someone whom she did not expect to see here.
"Are you eavesdropping because you want to tattletale to your father?" Luo Huian asked rudely as she looked at Luo Qingling.
The woman was dressed in a sleek leather jacket and crop top with matching cargo pants. Her long blonde hair was tied in a ponytail that rested behind her hair. Her red eyes were fixated on Luo Huian as if she was trying to gauge something out of Luo Huian.
After a short pause, she said, "You are mistaken," Luo Qingling did not understand how Luo Huian turned into such an obnoxious person. Did losing one's memory change a person's personality?
She knew Luo Huian better than anyone as her half-sister was not only gloomy and moody but she hated her so much that Luo Huian found even speaking two words to her disgusting.
Now even though Luo Huian did not mince her words when speaking to her, it was more like teasing her rather than condemning and condescending.
"Then what are you doing outside the greenhouse? Sunbathing?" Luo Huian quirked a brow as she walked past Luo Qingling who reached out and caught her wrist.
When Luo Huian's wrist was caught, she turned to look at Luo Qingling and said, "Woah there, I know that I am one of the most beautiful creations of this world but you gotta control that urge to touch me without my consent."
"I am your sister."
"Doesn't change a thing."
Luo Qingling pinched the space between her brows. She was glad that Luo Huian was no longer the same as she was in the past. But if she was a tad bit reserved, it would be really nice.
She sighed and then took out an ID card along with a key card. Luo Qingling held it in front of Luo Huia while Xiao Hei told Luo Huian what those things were and handed her the required information.
"What is this?" Though LuoHuian knew what it was, she still pretended to be confused because she couldn't understand what Luo Qingling was doing by holding these two things in front of her.
"I know that you have no place to stay at the moment. If you don't mind you can come to the building of my guild," Luo Qingling answered straightforwardly.
However, this only made Luo Huian even more confused.
'Is she trying to kill me after bringing me to her guild?' Luo Huian thought with a suspicious gaze.
Her expression was so vivid that Luo Qingling couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to. She sighed and stated, "I am not going to kill you. If I wanted to kill you then there was no need for me to bring you to my guild, I can do it anywhere with my connections."
She was speaking the truth. Even though the guild that was under Luo Qingling was not at the top, it was ranked third in the list of powerful guilds in the world.
If Luo Qingling wanted to get her killed she did not need to step in personally.
But if that was not the reason why was she helping her?
Luo Huian wasn't the kind of person who kept everything in her heart and tormented herself. She immediately asked, "Why are you doing this?"
With a sigh, Luo Qingling answered, "I know that you are suspicious but I am not trying to hurt you. I …I just want to help you out and nothing else."
After she finished speaking Luo Qingling closed her eyes for the curses to rain down on her. She knew that LuoHuian hated her because their mother liked her more and because she awakened as an S-class hunter.
In the past when Luo Qingling wanted to help Luo Huian she was scolded and mocked by the latter for being a hypocrite.
And Luo Qingling did not blame Luo Huian because she knew the things that her daddy had done behind her back. The things that Qin Qiu had said to Luo Huian and how he had ostracised and bullied Luo Huian, Luo Qingling knew everything.
She had tried to stop her daddy as well but the mer did not listen and called her naive for caring about a white-eyed wolf like Luo Huian.
'You have no idea, Ling Ling,' her daddy said to thirteen-year-old Luo Qingling. 'Those people will always look down on us. Only when we have their heads under our feet, will they give us the respect that we deserve. Don't be unusually kind to them, they are all bastards!'
When Luo Qingling heard those words of her father, she knew that he couldn't accept and understand her point of view. So she stopped trying and tried to take care of Luo Huian as her elder sister.
But by the time she realised that Luo Huian needed her help, it was a tad bit too late.
However, what could she do? If she showed care for Luo Huian blatantly then her enemies would have targeted her little sister after finding out that she cared for Luo Huian.
Luo Qingling couldn't allow that but now that she saw Luo Huian almost lose her life she could no longer turn a blind eye to what was happening with her little sister.
"Is that so?" Luo Huian looked at the two cards in Luo Qingling's hands and then took them. "Fine since you want to help me then I will be a fool to not take your help."
She was indeed looking for a place to stay. It was just right for Luo Qingling to offer her a place to stay.
"You…You agree?" Luo Qingling was stumped when she saw that Luo Huian agreed.
Luo Huian frowned and questioned with an affronted and annoyed expression, "Did you not give me these cards to use? Are you trying to play with me? I am telling you not to joke with me, my punches can hurt real bad."
