Understanding was one thing, but he still doesnât want to let anyone take away his ladyâs man. Since she wonât do it, Senior Gu Lao felt determined to do it on her behalf. After all, his life was saved by Gu Ya. This would be his way of returning the debt so she could live a happy life.
âItâs good that you understand.â Gu Ya did not see the old seniorâs flickering eye so her heart gradually calmed down. Faintly smiling: âThe matter between me and the monarch is between the two of us, you donât need to get involved. I have my own ways of becoming his wifeâ¦â
âYes, Milady.â
If the lady has such ways then they wouldâve long been married, why wait until now? So this time⦠It must be up to me to get rid of the opponent for the Miss!
â¦â¦
To the north of the Heavenly Domain lies a desert where the scorching sun burned brilliantly while also being poisonous to any creature unfortunate to make this terrain home.
As it so happens, Bai Yan was one of the unfortunate creatures to be trekking through this sandy landscape comprised of hilly dunes and scraping pits.
Exhausted after walking for so long, she leans in against the dried fiberous body of a dead tree to gain some shade: âLing Yan should be up ahead if I continue to go straight.â
Ever since she broke through to the higher level of the Celestial Rank, sheâs been able to locate those she knew through their energy signatures. In this case, Bai Yanâs using a tracking spell that shoots a beam of light in the general direction of her target as long sheâs able to provide a wisp of their life force.
Unfortunately, this method does have a flaw and that was sheâs unable to discern the distance. In these days, the poor desperate motherâs been walking nonstop without a proper rest since her arrival in the outer domains.
âLing Yan, wait for mother, I will be there soonâ¦â Murmuring this to push herself, the woman drags that aching body up with sweat dripping down the forehead.
Ling Yan is not Xiachen, sheâs only a two year old at heart and a timid girl at that. She wonât be able to handle being by herself for so many days in the wilderness. Even if I donât take a break, I must find her as fast as possible.
â¦â¦
Compared with the anxiety of the poor woman though, Di Ling Yan on the other hand was enjoying the good life at the Monarch Manor by eating well and sleeping well. Aside frm missing Bai Yan, thereâs nothing the baby lacked. After all, the pipsqueak wholeheartedly believes her mother would come, itâs just a matter of when so sheâs not worried.
Fortunately, because of Heavelyâs order, none in the manor dared to upset the baby. Compounded by the fact that she has a super sweet mouth, no attendant or maid even thought about hurting Di Ling Yan and grew especially fond of her.
Now this troubled those who wished harm on the pipsqueak of course. Senior Gu Laoâs been keeping track of the pipsqueakâs every movement. Unless the child comes out of her own voalition, the old elder wonât have a opportunity to make a move.
As for Gu Ya the lady herself, sheâs been ignoring her subordinates advice and continued to visit Heavenlyâs home - all for the sole reason of trying to cuddle up to the baby. Sadly for the hardworking woman, Di Ling Yan refused to meet her and thus squashed the idea. In the end, Gu Ya could only resort to waiting, specifically waiting in the back garden with a basket of pastries.
Like the old saying goes, those who put in the effort would always be rewarded. After many days of this fruitless attempts, Gu Ya finally got the opportunity to meet the baby on this sunny afternoon.
Lighting up in the eye, she gracefully strode towards the pipsqueak who has come into view: âIs that you child?â
Di Ling Yan also saw who was coming over. Wrinkling her temple at this, sheâs obviously very unhappy at the interruption.
