The maid dashes over, her face full of urgency: âPlease save my brother! Iâll tell you everything if you save my brother! Miss is the one who told me to frame you, it was her! She used my brother to threaten me, saying I must do as she says if I want my brother to be safe. Thatâs the main reason why I took responsibility, I needed to keep my brother out from harm!â
âYou shut up!â Lashing out from shameful anger, Luo Yun quickly came up to her maid and slapped the girl across the face: âIf you say another word then Iâll make you regret it!â
The maid may have blabbed the truth out in a momentary rush, but the fact that sheâs still dreadfully afraid of Huo Yun remains true. However, the urge to save her one and only brother continues to burn strong so she didnât relent.
Becoming firm in the voice now instead of urgent panic: âI did not lie! Miss have always been the type to act strong since she was young. Because of that, the talented disciples back at the Fiery Flame Sect have all been executed by her long ago so the reason she was picked to come was because we had no one else for the test!â
The disciples of the various forces were completely dumbfounded with shock due to the maidâs outburst. For one, the biggest question surrounding why the Fiery Flame Sect would send someone so weak was exactly this because it just didnât make sense to incur the ire of the Holy Land just for one girlâs whim. But now it has come out thereâs no other capable disciple inside that school? In that case, what would happen if the current Fiery Flame Lord dies of old age? Wouldnât they become so weak that theyâre inferior to a third-rate power?
âIf you keep babbling nonsense then Iâll tear off your lip!â In her fit of rage after being exposed repeatedly, Huo Yun was ready to reach over to make that threat true when a disciple nearby stopped her mid action.
âWhy are you so angry for? Is it because the maidâs word is all true? If so, why donât we listen to all of it before we continue, how about that?â Chu Yi Yiâs sarcastic voice timely cuts in, âGo ahead, explain the matter of your brother. Donât worry, I will have someone go secure him afterwards so nothing will happen!â
The maid grew exalted over the happy news. From what was fear and anxiety has now been replaced with joyous hope.?As long as my younger brother is safe then I have no regret even in death!
âYes, Princess,â the maid makes a sigh of relief before continuing, âher ladyship wanted to frame Miss Bai Yan there only because of a simple reason that she blocked our path at the entrance, plus the part with the childâs insultâ¦. Her ladyship felt humiliated, hence the reason why she had Lin Yahan frame Miss Bai Yan over there!â Leaving a moment of pause, the maid somehow seemed more vicious when she bit those lips of hers: âThese kinds of schemes arenât her first, it has been done many times during her childhood. Sheâs the daughter of the Fiery Flame Lord so no one can punish her even if caught, andâ¦. she used to have a younger brother. But because of the exceptional talent the young master portrayed as a child, the lady here got jealous and murdered himâ¦.â
