From livid to despair, itâs incredibly hard to describe the sort of faces Keeper Zun and the others were making right now.
âWhatâs going on here Ruo Xi, tell me whatâs going on!â The kind Keeper almost could breathe due to how much panting he was making.
We believed in her for a thousand years, spoiled her for a thousand years, and at the end of the day the amulet goes and recognizes someone else as the owner?
Hahaha! Itâs ridiculous, itâs ridiculous.
âI... I donât know...â Ghostly pale in the face, this slick tongued deceitful liar that was Yun Ruo Xi finally met her match today. No matter how smooth and quick witted that brain of hers was, itâs not going to help against reality, âI really donât know....â
âHahaha, you donât know! Youâre telling us you donât know!â The more he laughed, the more the tears came rolling down Keeper Zunâs eye.
âYun Ruo Xi, we believed in you, we doted you, and now all you have to say to us is you donât know?â
This time, itâs not only the kind hearted Keeper whoâs been chilled to the bone, the others are also shocked and despairing over the truth. Truly, none of them wants to admit it, admit to the fact that their choice a millennium ago was wrong.
âHahaha! As if you people canât tell whatâs going on here?â The old goat casually steps forward, âThis woman over there stole my mistressâs amulet and claimed to be All Heavenâs owner. Oh right, that name too, she only learned of it through my mouth before. Why else would you idiots not hear about it prior until recently?â
Keeper Zun became painfully regretful as he closes his eyes slowly. He wants to change the past, but all that came was a weak helplessness from within.
Indeed, until recently, we never even heard of the amulet having a name.....
âA thousand years, Yun Ruo Xi, you deceived us for a thousand years,â quivering in the lip, the kind Keeper bitterly mutters this aloud.
Back then a thousand years ago when all was well, they too had a good image of Bai Yan when the old coot brought her back. Who wouldnât like a good talented young girl right? But, it all changed once Yun Ruo Xi came.....
She was brought into the Celestial Palace by Bai Yan herself. According to the story told to them, the girls are childhood friends and that Yun Ruo Xiâs older brother died protecting Bai Yan, hence the strong level of affection between the two.
Going by that detail, itâs estimated thatâs also the time where the amulet was given out to Yun Ruo Xi by Bai Yan, itâs for the older brotherâs sacrifice. But they didnât tell anyone about the exchange, otherwise why else would these Keepers turn on Bai Yan after being framed as the scourge of the Celestial Realm.
