Chapter 1369 “To Trick a Child (1)”
“All of you leave me, I want to be alone.” Yun Ruo Xi the deceitful witch orders.
“Yes, milady.” The maids in the room bowed and retreated with haste.
“Bai Yan, you can’t blame me for this so you better pray that your next child is a boy as well and not a daughter.” She mutters to herself with no recipient in mind. However, it’s exactly then in her momentary lapse that a shadowy figure emerges from the darkness of a corner.
“Why are you here?” A gloom instantly covered Yun Ruo Xi’s face once she recognizes who it was, “Did I not say you are not allowed to come before me unless I call for you? Do you take my words for nothing?”Emotionlessly standing there like a statue, the black robed figure didn’t budge and replied smoothly with his hoarse crackly voice: “I’m here to tell you I’ve located the Celestial Lord’s whereabout. I know where he is.”
Tensing up immediately, the look along the lady’s face couldn’t be hidden – she’s extremely excited over the good news.
“You know where he is?”
Since that day where Chu Yi God returned with a warning, telling them to stay firmly away from Bai Yan and Di Cang, the man never once appeared before them again. It’s like unless he wished to found no one would be able to find him.
However…..
There’s no way Yun Ruo Xi would be able to accept this fact, hence her reasoning for sending someone out to search for the man’s whereabout. What she didn’t expect though was that she really did find that wondrous person, and before the Keepers at that!
“Alright, I understand then, you can go for now.”The man in the black robe slightly raises his head over that dismissal, allowing his face to finally emerge from the darkness. His contour would be considered extremely handsome by any standards, it’s just that unlike the powerful impact one would expect, he’s rather soft and frail looking.
“Ruo Xi, why can’t you let him go?”
As long as you can put him down and leave this place, I will guarantee a lifetime of peace for you….
Sinking into a gloom along her face, the deceitful witch snapped at the busybody: “What qualifications do you have to meddle with my affairs? Don’t forget, you’re nothing but a dog that I saved off the streets! In comparison to Brother Yi God, you are nothing so why should I leave with you?”
Don’t forget, you’re just a dog I saved off the streets….
The remark stung the black robed man, causing his hands to clench up in frustration. Nevertheless, that struggling face eventually loosened up like it didn’t faze him.
“I see, I’m sorry if I crossed the line.” When saying that, the person’s voice sounded bittersweet like there’s infinite pain hidden underneath.
“Also, from now on forward you are to find my maid only if there’s anything to report. I don’t want to risk having those Keepers discovering your existence, after all, you’re someone that can’t be seen in the light of day.”
Drawing a thin line across his lips, the individual didn’t refute that claim, only staying quiet as he stood there willingly.
Ruo Xi is right, I’m someone that can’t see the light of day.
So….
I don’t deserve to be by her side!
Finally lightening up in after winning the argument, the witch continues: “But you did come at the right timing. I was about to send my maid to investigate another matter for me. Since you’re here, you can go in her stead.”
“That is?”
“Go to the Demon City and see if their queen has given birth to a daughter. If it’s a daughter then remove her from existence right away!”
