âSo what?â Willow mutely cackled and freaked the other side some more, âThey are in that place, which is equivalent to being isolated for eternity. Even if Bai Yan is still by his side, he can no longer interact with her anymore!â
âShifu, please donât say more, I donât want know anymore.â Looking down at the ground, the Mo Xin Yan found her soul losing itself under this depressing reality.
Itâs nothing like how she imagined her world to be. The shifu she idolized was a evil villain, and the bond they built up was nothing but a fragile glass thatâs been shattered. Almost everything thus far was a charade, an act that had no foundation.
âNo, you should know,â Willow flicked a finger to push her discipleâs chin back up so their eyes would meet, âbecauseâ¦. if you betray me again in the future, your place will be with them inside that darkness! I will have you drift endlessly in that state, never to step outside again!â
That warning instantly got the girlâs attention and not in the good way.
Forever drifting in the dark?
This feeling⦠itâs even more painful than killing me!
âOf courseâ¦â Willow continues to grin with teethes barring, but unlike before, her hands were brushing the girlâs hair like petting a animal. Itâs unnerving like an evil witch watching her victim. âIf you are obedient and behave, I can overlook your past deeds.â
Mo Xin Yan gulped out of reflex over that statement. Sheâs still extremely pale in the face and afraid, but the aching desire to know won out in the end. âShifu, donât you like Di Cang alot? Why are youâ¦. willing to let him stay there in that place?â
Willow narrowed her eyes in a snakish manner, examining the girl up and down with a new light before bursting out a laugh.
âHave you forgotten what I said to Di Cang and Bai Yan? I said I would never let them see each other again. That space is only a temporary cell for Di Cang. Once I recuperate my wounds and increase my powers again, I forcibly rip him from his wifeâs grasp. At that point, it will only be Bai Yan and that stinking brat left drifting for eternity.â
She couldnât give up on Di Cang.
That kind of a man⦠how could she ever erase him from her soul?
Soâ¦â¦
The only course of action left was to chain the man in a temporary cell. When she has the confidence and power to do as she please, Willow would begin to move again and take whatâs hers.
âShifu,â Mo Xin Yan pursed her lips until it hurts, âI will not disobey you againâ¦.â
The girlâs ashamed to admit it, but sheâs a coward. In front of her shifuâs terrifying stare, she simply didnât have any strength to resist.
Not far away, Heart has been keeping her head down the entire time during the conversation. Sheâs still traumatized from the stuff said by Mo Xin Yan about Willow. As such, the grief and sadness has overtaken the innocence in this poor child. She did nothing wrong in this life and never harmed a soul, but her existence was unloved and unwanted, just like a expendable objectâ¦.
âHeart, come here.â Willowâs eyes glanced slightly to the side and frowned after seeing how pitiful looking the child was behaving.
Heart stiffened at first, but then gradually loosened up before standing up. Step by step, she came before the monarch, the woman thatâs supposed to be her motherâ¦..
