Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1063

Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue didn't have scruples at all. They just kept eating, drinking, and talking.

However, Xuan Bing was sensitive enough to notice that whenever Ye Xiao looked at those dishes, he would look gentler and softer.

It made her feel sour in the heart.

She repeatedly asked herself many times, [Xuan Bing, is it really that difficult for you to give up the identity and position you have now?]

[Do you really think you are significant and important?]

[You pretended to be unacquainted to Master when you faced him. You pretended to be in a higher position than him. What the hell are you doing? Do you really know what you are doing?]

She had criticized herself lots of times. However, she never picked up the courage to admit who she was.

She didn't realize that her true heart was being dominated by Bing'er, the personality that had a weak sense of existence. Maybe Bing'er was never a weak personality. It was just in sync with the other personality. In other words, Bing'er was Xuan Bing, and Xuan Bing was Bing'er. It was always only one person. Bing'er's heart was precisely Xuan Bing's heart.

The long-lasting longing and unforgettable affection were dominating her heart day by day.

That night, Ye Xiao was planning to check how many other things he had gotten except the over one hundred acres of lotuses. However, when his spiritual mind just entered Boundless Space, he felt an overwhelming weariness and fell asleep immediately.

It was a night of silence.

Not really. It should be a night of Ye Xiao's snore.

It kept Han Bingxue awake the whole night. In fact, he was worried.

[There seems to be something wrong about Boss.]

[Although he is weak in cultivation, only in the high level of Dream Origin Stage, he shouldn't sleep so tight, should he?]

In fact, Ye Xiao was sleeping so tight like a dead pig. He had no reaction to anything around but only kept snoring. Han Bingxue made some weird sounds on purpose, but Ye Xiao had no response to them.

Han Bingxue spent a whole night lying with anxiety. When the sky only turned bright, he went to Ye Xiao's room and shook him for a long time until Ye Xiao woke up.

"Brother, is everything alright?" Han Bingxue was worried.

Ye Xiao just had a good sleep for the night. He felt energetic and spirited. He answered with confusion, "What could go wrong? I am fine. Perfect!"

Han Bingxue walked out of the room with confusion.

When it was time for breakfast, Xuan Bing didn't show up. They went to her door and knocked, but nobody responded. They pushed the door and entered the room, but found it empty.

The bed was made. It didn't seem to be used the last night.

Apparently, she left after dinner the last night. She hadn't spent the night in the room.

"She's gone." Han Bingxue said.

"Gone?" Ye Xiao felt lost.

[Did she just leave in silence?]

"I talked to her last night. I thought she was going to rest in the room. It turns out she left at night." Han Bingxue said.

"Talked to her? About what?" Ye Xiao turned over, looked at Han Bingxue, and asked.

Han Bingxue felt embarrassed.

[What could we talk about? I recklessly leak the secret of you, so I begged her to keep the secret.] However, he wouldn't admit failure, so he reluctantly said, "Nothing serious. Just about some love story kind of thing…"

Ye Xiao answered with an 'oh' in a meaningful tone. He said, "No wonder you have been at odds with each other all the way along. So I see. I never know you are more capable than before. Do you get her too?"

He obviously misunderstood him. Han Bingxue surprisedly looked at Ye Xiao, and dejectedly said, "You made a good guess, boss…"

[I can't say no, can I… It's just… You indeed flattered me!]

[However, I have to take the dumb loss.]

Ye Xiao laughed and felt relieved.

He had suspected that Xuan Bing was Bing-Er, but he didn't anymore. He thought, if Xuan Bing were Bing-Er, she would never flirt with Han Bingxue.

Besides, he thought that what he suspected was impossible. For him, it was just a wishful thought. The two women had a vast difference…

Han Bingxue was wronged, but he couldn't say it.

When he begged Xuan Bing to keep the secret, Xuan Bing decisively rejected. In the end, he threatened her with a desperate fight, but Xuan Bing answered by threatening Ye Xiao's life, "I don't mind if you start the fight. I wonder who would get hurt first when you start it? Would it be me?"

Then Han Bingxue submitted it.

It certainly couldn't be her; it would only be Ye Xiao. Han Bingxue was well aware of it. Apparently, it was useless to threaten her with violence. In fact, she could easily threaten him!

The violent threat didn't work. Han Bingxue had to keep begging her. In the end, Xuan Bing finally loosed her mouth. Han Bingxue signed an agreement with Xuan Bing, promised many conditions that benefited Xuan Bing… After all that he had done, she eventually promised to keep the secret for him mercifully.

Only Han Bingxue knew the pain, and he couldn't tell others about it.

[If Boss gets to know the truth, he will absolutely laugh at me. I will never be able to raise up my head in front of him. Besides, if he knows that I leaked his secret recklessly, he will show me no mercy. He will give me extreme punishment.]

[I can't tell him the truth! I can't!]

Han Bingxue made up his mind.

[Xuan Bing won't have lots of chances to get in touch with Boss after all!]

[Maybe this is the only time they meet each other!]

[I can save my dignity!]

When Ye Xiao was leaving Xuan Bing's room, he glanced at a piece of paper on the table.

He walked over and picked up the paper.

He was shocked.

There were no words written on it, but only a striking roundish ink mark.

Nothing else.

It felt like… somebody grabbed the pen and soaked it with ink, but kept it handing over the paper, thought for a long time, and couldn't decide what to write at the end. The ink dropped on the paper and made the circular mark.

There were no words, but Ye Xiao felt that when Xuan Bing took the paper, she wanted to say something.

She must have thought for a long time but failed to think of a word. She must be unquenchably ambivalent.

What was she ambivalent about?

Ye Xiao wanted to make a guess, but he had no idea what to guess at all.
