The maid heavily bit her lips. Sheâs reluctant to say but answered truthfully anyways: âThe woman is very beautiful.â
âThatâs all?â The middle-aged man frowned and continued to ask.
âSheâs beautiful, a striking kind of beauty, especially when sheâs dressed in red. The air she has is overwhelmingly memorable. She also had three kids with her. One was about six years old while the other two were about two years oldâ¦.â
The maid did not see the expression made by her uncle a she explained, but he had literally turned green in horror.
Itâs reported that the owner of the Holy Island loves to wear red all year round. Whatâs more, she also has a child which should be around six as well by this year. On top of that, rumor has it the person has given birth to twins not too long agoâ¦. If going by all these clues, he could be almost certain this woman was the owner of the Holy Island.
âZheng Yun, this time I canât save you, you better flee as soon as you can.â The middle-aged man sneered, âBy the way, once you go back to your home, tell your mother I will no longer have anything to do with the Zheng Clan. I do not want to be dragged down by someone elseâs mistake.â
One protects their own interest, each for themselves.
Moreover, heâs done enough for the Zheng Clan thus far. Theyâre already three generations apart, thus making them distant relatives at best. Like bringing Zheng Yun into the Holy Land and getting her the post as the maid of the Holy Lord, thatâs already a favor he didnât need to do. Now that this distant niece of hers failed in winning the Holy Lordâs heart, why should he continue to support such a girl or her family?
âUncleâ¦â The maid became stupefied by the cruel reality and became flustered, âWhat do you mean by that?â
The middle-aged man sneered some more, âDo you know who youâve offended? Sheâs the strongest person in the human world!
Others may not know this, but Iâve been following the Lord for many years, how can I not know her? Not only is her talent above everyone elseâs, sheâs also the wife of the king of the demons! Letâs put it this way. If her husband summoned the horde of demons upon us, they could destroy the entire human world!â
Huffing to keep himself from losing composure, âNo, no, no, they actually donât need that many demons, just a small fraction is enough. They can literally turn the human world into a territory of the Demon Realm, do you understand?â
His chest would rise up and down in strides due to the anger he felt inside. Honestly, the man regretted helping the Zheng Clan from the heartâs down at this point.
The maidâs body froze as she looked up in dismay, those eyes popping out of reflex.
âAll of this⦠you are certain?â
âHoho,â the middle-aged man sarcastically ticked his lips into a snarling smirk, âwhen did I ever lie to you? No one has lived on the Holy Island for many years now, not even the princess lives there. Do you know why? Itâs because the Holy Lord has gifted the island to her long ago. Only she is eligible to live there.â
The maidâs face got pale like a ghost. Even the princess cannot live on the island, only she can?
âUncle, it canât be that the Lord really likes her?â
âLike her? Indeed, the Lord really does like her, but as a daughter-in-law. Sadly, that person didnât have the young master in her eye and the union fell apart and never came to fruition. Despite all that, the Lord still takes her as a daughter in his eye, thatâs how highly prized she is to everyone in the Holy Land.â
The middle-aged man knew the thought running through her distant nieceâs mind and wanted to snuff it out before it blew out of proportion.
Zheng Yunâs body turned to stone in that instant. Standing there with the breeze blowing against her body, the maid never felt so afraid in her entire life. In fact, her entire back had become drenched in sweat by this stage.
