âWhatâs moreâ¦â Liu Qing Yuâs voice stalled for a moment, âIf she dies, we wonât be able to live either!â
After returning to the Spirit Realm this lady had more than once tried to remove the poison in her own system. Sadly, regardless of her effort, she couldnât lift it. This also proves that their life was now firmly tied to Bai Yan as a person. If she lives, they live, if she dies, they die.
This wonât do!
I must save her!
âMiss, weâll try to leave the Spirit Realm again during the night. However, if we leave this time then we wonât be able to come back again.â The senior sighs over their own future.
Itâs exactly as Elder Jun claims. If they leave now then its indicative of their crime, meaning they would become wanted throughout the Spirit Realm. Returning would be a death sentence.
Liu Qing Yu didnât speak as her body quivered so slightly at the thought. Sheâs contemplating what to do right now for the final decision lies with herself. Undeniably the lady doesnât hold much affection for this Spirit Realm and would love to see it perish, however, this place, there are too many memories of her and her mother togetherâ¦..
âElder Jun,â a bittersweet smile comes out, âbut what choice do we have other than that? If Mother was alive then Iâm sure she would also hope for me to leave this wretched place. To be free and to be not bound by the restraints provided by this forsaken realm.â Closing her eyes, a pang of pain surfaces from the girlâs appearance.
âMissâ¦â The seniorâs expression also showed pain after hearing that, âDo you want to⦠visit the madam again?â
Shaking her head: âNo, that will only arouse the manâs suspicion even further. We will leave tonight as you suggested.â Raising her head, she then looks upward to the open blue sky.
Maybe this will be the last time I see this picture againâ¦.
Night time.
Dressed in a clad of black, Liu Qing Yu and her accomplice were silently running through the courtyard until they reached the exit again like this morning. Giving Elder Jun a signal, they swiftly came behind and attacked, removing the two guards without any sound or struggle.
However, right as the two issued a breath of relief at their own success to remove the obstacle, countless torches instantly lit up around them, surrounding the pair and cornering them to the spot.
Liu Qing Yu froze over in that moment. Stiffly turning her head around, the picture of Hu Fei Xiang immediately came into view.
âFatherâ¦.â Trembling in her voice, thereâs white all over that face as the sweat soaked the ladyâs dark clothing.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMy good daughter, where are you going when itâs this late?â asked the Spirit Lord in a calm manner.
Twitching nervously in the corner of her mouth: âI noticed a jade hairpin the other day and didnât bring enough money. Then when I sent Elder Jun to go get it for me this morning, these guards forbade us from leaving, thatâs why I want sneak out tonight to buy it.â
âAre you going to buy a hairpin or to go give those humans word of our invasion?â He Fei Xiang sneered and approached his daughter with dangerous air: âIâve been thinking about it ever since the last assault. Do we have a traitor among our mix? But you know, our Spirit Realm isnât a place where ordinary people can leave and go as they please. That leaves you as the main suspect.â Cackling now like an evil overlord, âYou know why I called a meeting out in the open today? Its to set you up, I wanted to see if you will really fall for the bait I set!â
