Hearing this from Mo Xin Yanâs mouth, Willowâs indifference completely disappeared.
âXin Yan, I am not interrogating you, but this matter is very important. I donât want my hands forcedâ¦. You are my only disciple in this world. I do not want to see you betraying me for the sake of a man.â Willowâs tone became harsh again at the end: âIf you let me know that one day you betrayed me, I will definitely cut you to pieces!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mo Xin Yanâs heart trembled a little for she understood her shifu wasnât joking around.
âOkay, you can go down now. Iâm sure you are not involved with this problem.â
Willow did not give Mo Xin Yan another chance to speak and waved her off in a dismissal.
âYes, Shifu,â Mo Xin Yan bows and turns away with pursed lips, âShifu, you have a good rest. I will come see you later.â
After getting outside and out of view, Mo Xin Yan stopped and clenched her fist until the nails had pierced the palm. Sheâs so frustrated that the girlâs almost unable to breathe.
Shifuâ¦. Iâm sorry, I initially thought I would obey you for the rest of my life, but after meeting him, I can no longer do that. I know you treat me very well, but love is blind, and I have already turned my back on you.
She closed her eyes gently for a long while, using this brief moment to gather her breath for the consequences of her own actions.
Meanwhile back over in the study room, Xiao Yun the maid stood quietly beside the monarch: âMonarch, do you really believe what the missâs said there?â
Willow made a faint smile before replying: âI understand your meaning, but I know my disciple better than anyone. She doesnât dare to betray me. Moreover, Iâm the one who gave her everything. If she does betray, the fate awaiting her would be far worse than simple death. Soâ¦. I hope she doesnât go down that path. otherwise, I wonât spare her even if she did stay with me for so many yearsâ¦.â
After hearing that, Xiao Yun lowered her head after getting out of line: âI understand, I wonât pry on this subject any further. But mistress, what method are we going to use to find him this time?â
âItâs too time-consuming for us to look for him, and heâs bound to escape our grasp if he catches any wind like this time.â Willowâs lip curved into a smirk, âSo, I have the better idea of luring him to us instead. Let him take the initiative instead.â
âInitiative?â Xiao Yun got surprised, âMonarch, thatâ¦â
âJust say⦠a woman came barged into the Monarch Manor with a horde of demon beasts. Sheâs called Yanâer and the queen of all demons, and that sheâs his woman⦠Di Cang will come to us once he hears of this rumor. Even if he doesnât believe it, he wonât give up on this opportunity, especially if the woman is in danger!â
As soon as Di Cang appears, I will personally subdue him againâ¦..
âYes, Monarch.â The maid bowed and withdrew herself from the study.
â¦â¦
In the woods, a group of adventurers was resting around a clearing when they began to converse.
âHave you heard? The monarchâs husband⦠The man named Di Cang had a lover, and the lover raided the Monarch Manor with a horde of demonic beasts. They say she called herself Yanâer, Queen of Demonsâ¦. Itâs unbelievable that even the womanâs name is similar to Miss Xin Yanâs. I donât see how she deserves such a good name.â
