âAll of you leave me, I want to be alone.â Yun Ruo Xi the deceitful witch orders.
âYes, milady.â The maids in the room bowed and retreated with haste.
âBai Yan, you canât blame me for this so you better pray that your next child is a boy as well and not a daughter.â She mutters to herself with no recipient in mind. However, itâs exactly then in her momentary lapse that a shadowy figure emerges from the darkness of a corner.
âWhy are you here?â A gloom instantly covered Yun Ruo Xiâs face once she recognizes who it was, âDid I not say you are not allowed to come before me unless I call for you? Do you take my words for nothing?â
Emotionlessly standing there like a statue, the black robed figure didnât budge and replied smoothly with his hoarse crackly voice: âIâm here to tell you Iâve located the Celestial Lordâs whereabout. I know where he is.â
Tensing up immediately, the look along the ladyâs face couldnât be hidden â sheâs extremely excited over the good news.
âYou know where he is?â
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. Itâs like unless he wished to found no one would be able to find him.
Howeverâ¦..
Thereâs no way Yun Ruo Xi would be able to accept this fact, hence her reasoning for sending someone out to search for the manâs whereabout. What she didnât expect though was that she really did find that wondrous person, and before the Keepers at that!
âAlright, I understand then, you can go for now.â
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, itâs just that unlike the powerful impact one would expect, heâs rather soft and frail looking.
âRuo Xi, why canât you let him go?â
As long as you can put him down and leave this place, I will guarantee a lifetime of peace for youâ¦.
Sinking into a gloom along her face, the deceitful witch snapped at the busybody: âWhat qualifications do you have to meddle with my affairs? Donât forget, youâre 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?â
Donât forget, youâre just a dog I saved off the streetsâ¦.
The remark stung the black robed man, causing his hands to clench up in frustration. Nevertheless, that struggling face eventually loosened up like it didnât faze him.
âI see, Iâm sorry if I crossed the line.â When saying that, the personâs voice sounded bittersweet like thereâs infinite pain hidden underneath.
âAlso, from now on forward you are to find my maid only if thereâs anything to report. I donât want to risk having those Keepers discovering your existence, after all, youâre someone that canât be seen in the light of day.â
Drawing a thin line across his lips, the individual didnât refute that claim, only staying quiet as he stood there willingly.
Ruo Xi is right, Iâm someone that canât see the light of day.
Soâ¦.
I donât deserve to be by her side!
Finally lightening up in after winning the argument, the witch continues: âBut you did come at the right timing. I was about to send my maid to investigate another matter for me. Since youâre here, you can go in her stead.â
âThat is?â
âGo to the Demon City and see if their queen has given birth to a daughter. If itâs a daughter then remove her from existence right away!â
