Half a ring later, Healer Yu finally opens his eyes and revealed a somewhat pale complexion along with a layer of sweat covering that forehead.
âGrandshifu, did you find my grandfather yet?â Yue Shishi urgently asks from across the table.
No answer came, only silence and a pair of clenched fists from the exhausted elder.
âPlease tell me, did something happened?â Now getting even more worried, the sickly lady started sobbing uncontrollably, âDonât worry, I can bear the truth.â
A faint sigh comes out of Healer Yuâs mouth at this scene, his old eyes filled with grief: âYour grandfather, he.... heâs gone.â
Boom!
Like a sunny day suddenly being covered in darkness, Yue Shishiâs body collapsed and nearly took to the ground. The only reason the lady didnât was thanks to the wall from behind, keeping her back straight and not breaking apart.
âHow did this happen? How could something have happened to Grandfather? He promised to come back quickly... I wonât believe it, I wonât....â As she shook her head, tears continued to roll, thus making the picture all the more heartbreaking.
I donât believe it!
Grandfather is so powerful, who else in the world can kill him?
âYun Ruo Xi!â Yue Shishi suddenly glared upwards with veins showing in those eyes, âIt must be Yun Ruo Xi! She mustâve killed my grandfather! It must be her!â
âYun Ruo Xi?â Healer Yuâs expression deepened into a frown, âShe doesnât have that ability.â
âNo,â the lady shakes her head to refute the denial, âI accidentally came across her with a very powerful individual before. The person looks like a demon. Furthermore, how could she have known about Grandfatherâs death without us being aware of it first? She mustâve done it!â A burning fire resembling hatred now filled the sickly ladyâs face.
Thatâs right, it must be Yun Ruo Xi who ordered that demon, it must be her whoâs behind all this!
Healer Yuâs eyes narrowed in as well: âAre you absolutely sure about this?â
âI saw it with my own eyes! She called that demon Winger, it must be that demon who killed my grandfather at her order!â
In this world, the most important person for this sickly lady was her grandfather and grandshifu. Now that sheâs lost one of them, a dark side that has never seen the light of day has come forward in the girl.
âWe will leave it at that for now Shishi, the first priority is to locate your grandfatherâs last known location before his death. After we retrieve his body then we can settle the debt with that Yun Ruo Xi!â Getting ugly as well along the face, Healer Yu growled viciously at what has befallen his disciple.
If it really is that old woman then I wonât let her go for this!
......
Bai Yan naturally wouldnât know about that incident within the Celestial Palace. Truly, she accounted for a lot of things, but never for someone else taking the blame for her own actions like killing Senior Yue. As the old saying goes, trouble comes from the tongue, and thatâs exactly what occurred here for Yun Ruo Xi who got too talkative.
Anyways, thereâs more pressing matter for Bai Yan and her family to care about right now then to care about other people. For example, getting the heck out of this Holy Dragon Mountain.
âMother, are we lost?â Bai Xiachen asks with a tinge of worry in his little eyes.
Lost?
Really, that word has never been in their dictionary until this day. But aside from that, what else could it be?
Furrowing her brow at her sonâs question, Bai Yan hands Dragony over to her young friend Mo Li Shang for carrying. After thatâs done, she immediately flew into the air to scan the area. To the womanâs surprise though, the base of the mountain remains nowhere in sight despite the greater height sheâs taken, which was very abnormal.
âHow does it look Mother?â The steambun shouts up from the ground, his eyes eager to get out of here: âIs there a way to leave?â
