Itâs a pity though, the Celestial Lordâs movements are nonstationary. When they wanted to find the man, he had already disappeared again without giving them a chance to meetâ¦.
âSend more people to protect Ruo Xi for now,â Keeper Zun frowns up, âsheâs not having it easy. Things are clearly not her fault, yet sheâs trying to bear all the burden by herself. Her level of sensibleness is enough to make one ache. Such a fine girl, if only Bai Yan could learn just an ounce of her good characteristics, then maybe she wouldnât have turned out the way she didâ¦..â
The crowd got all quiet again, which felt eerily uncomfortable in this place.
âHo!â But Keeper Ling clearly thought otherwise in comparison to his comrades, âYou all think its strange that Ruo Xi couldnât win the Lordâs heart, right? Then think of it this way. With Ruo Xiâs kind and aloof personality that doesnât connive after worldly affairs, do you think she can fight against Bai Yan who is cunning and sinister?â
Keeper Blue was the first to react, but in the end the old timer couldnât refute the grumpy Keeperâs claim.
Heâs right, sheâs the type to abstain from worldly affairs. Thereâs no way a unstained white lotus could win in a fight of deceit and cunningness. But no matter what, we will grant that girlâs wish. In this world, no one is more qualified to be at the Lordâs side than her!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
â¦â¦
Somewhere inside a hollow grand room.
Yun Ruo Xi had just walked into this place when a maid hurried over to make a report of the conversation between the Keepers.
âHeâs right, Keeper Ling didnât get me wrong. Unlike Bai Yan who wants everything in this world, I donât care for the worldly stuff. She wants to stand at the very top, I only want Chu Yi God to be by my side.â
However, this witch apparently forgot something very crucial in her logic. Unlike herself, Bai Yan would only use her own powers and strength to reach the top, while she herself would use underhanded means and lies to get what she wants. Everything that she has right now, everything she owns, itâs through the mean of ripping it away from someone elseâ¦.
âButâ¦â a smirk draws itself into that face, âI remember the last time I saw that woman, she seems to be pregnant.â
Even if itâs just a quick glance, nevertheless⦠Yun Ruo Xi still managed to make out that uneven belly. Then with the recent attack, she clearly saw that bump was gone. Itâs evidence that the womanâs given birth.
If Bai Yan gave birth to a daughter, then those Keepers will definitely go after the baby. By then I wonât be able to escape from the fate they have in store for me!
Darkening in her expression over the thought again, she turns to the maid nearby: âGo investigate for me, I want to know if Bai Yan gave birth to a daughter or not. If she did then come back and report the news to me.â
If thereâs no mistake on her part, Keeper Ling also recognized Bai Yanâs pregnancy, thatâs why he suggested the plan to drain the child of her blood. Thereâs no way Ruo Xi could stand idly by and do nothing, she must kill that baby before the Keepers get their hands on the thing!
