âI have lifted the contract with everyone else aside from Di Cangâs, Motherâ¦. I got nothing to fear anymore so do not worry about me.â
Unlike the familiar contracts between herself and the rest, Di Cangâs connection was for life so she couldnât do it on her own. Nevertheless, sheâs very confident the consequences of it breaking if anything happens today wouldnât kill her husband still so itâs fine.
Gently furrowing her brow, Bai Ning attempts to sway the girl to leave after seeing that serious face: âYanâer, I can delay this guy for a while, you should leave here first.â
âMotherâ¦â revealing a bitter smile, âyou may not remember the past, butâ¦. there are some words I must say now in case I donât have that chance anymore.â
âYou donât remember me, you donât remember Grandfather, but do you remember Yun Feng? Back then the two of you loved each other with your all, and because of that he was locked up for twenty years and lost his mind for twenty years. You are his entire hope, I canât and I wonât let that turn into disappointment.â
Yun Feng?
Bai Ningâs face carried a look of pain over the reminder. She remembers Bai Xiachen bringing that name up at one point, though familiar to her ears, she still couldnât remember who that person wasâ¦.
Can it be, I really do have some sort of relationship with that Yun Feng?
Tightly clutching her own head, Bai Ning felt like her brainâs about to explode due to the stinging pain.
Damn it, I canât remember anything, including that Yun Feng!
âAre you two done talking yet?â Keeper Ling cuts in with a faint smile of disinterest, âIf youâve said enough then get ready to meet your end. Iâm sure Hell will welcome a pair of filthy swineâs like you two.â
Due to how cold and bitter his voice was, it immediately drew a reaction from the scum thatâs standing to one side.
âKeeper Ling, didnât you say you will help me get Ningâer? What did you mean by those words?â Ning Yuan carefully asks.
âWhat do I mean?â The old elder sneered at the foolish idiot, âThis woman dared to attack the Celestial Palace while I and the other Keepers were in isolated training and killed numerous people under us. Do you expect me to leave her be after all the lives she took?â
Do you expect me to leave her be after all the lives she took!
The statement resonating like a clap of thunder in the scumâs head, causing him to stumble backwards in horror as he turned to face the woman he claims to love.
So this was the Celestial Palaceâs goal from the start, to take Ningâerâs life?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
How could I have been so foolish? I clearly knew these people hated her to the core, yet I still brought him here! If Ningâer dies today then itâs me who brought this on her!
âNo! You canât treat Ningâer like this, you promised me, you only want to tame that demonic beast under her control, how can you go back on your words? If you act like this then arenât you afraid of the Celestial Palace losing credibility?â With every word he spoke came a redder shade of madness in the scumâs eye, causing him to tremble with anger in turn as well.
Mocking in his grin, Keeper Ling obviously knew the guy would say that when he reveals his true intent: âWhat of it? So what if we go back on our promise to you? Aside from an idiot like you, who else knows about the promise? If no one knows then how can it tarnish the Celestial Palaceâs reputation?â
