âYou bunch got some nerve eh? Not only did you people try to frame a probably disciple of the Holy Land, you also try to deceive the judge?! Someone come, take these filthy bastards away to the dungeons. I will personally see to it they pay for todayâs crime!â
âYes, Elder Qing Hong!â Those who followed Qing Hong over today immediately circled around the group. Theyâve already learned from the last time they gathered and wouldnât want anything to go wrong during the arrest.
â¦â¦
After leaving the gathering behind, Bai Yan didnât even need to step onto the Holy Island before her eyes fell upon her big shifu Zheng Qi waiting at the doorway.
Slightly wrinkling her brows: âBig Shifu, why are you waiting at my cabin?â
âIs the examination test over?â Zheng Qi asks with a meaningful light in those old eyes.
Giving a gentle nod of affirmation: âYes Shifu, Iâve just finished over there.â
âThatâs great!â The senior issues a long sigh, âThe Lord tasked me to come tell you that the portal to the main domain is now open and ready for use. But before you head out, I must remind you the real Holy Domain is vastly more dangerous than the mini one you experienced before. Do be careful.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In actual fact, not even Zheng Qi himself knew what exactly lies within that mysterious place. The only thing he does know though was how everyone who enters it would die each and every single time. Ten out of ten, all of them never returned aside from being a corpse!
âI see.â Bai Yanâs face lit up, her hand patting the concerned old senior in assurance. âDonât worry, Iâll be all right so donât fret too much. During this period while Iâm away, do make sure to practice your alchemy. I donât want to see any slacking! Otherwiseâ¦â Narrowing her eyes into a slit, Bai Yanâs iris grew somehow dangerous and threatening.
Making an awkward laugh in return, Zheng Qi coughs twice to clear his own throat: âDonât look down at your shifu here so much, only your third shifu is a slacker!â
Needing no more words, Bai Yan was pretty much finished here as well and turned away for the Lordâs living quarter.
Towards the departing back of that reddish figure, Chu Yi Yi couldnât stop making a worried face: âGrandpa Zheng Qi, is she really going to be alright? I donât understand why Pa would agree to having her enter such a dangerous placeâ¦.â
Unable to hide his own worries as well: âThe Lord said it before, perhapsâ¦. she will be the only one to come out of there alive. We must believe in Yan Yan because her existence is a miracle in it itself.â
Ever since the three of them brothers picked up this lass from the outside, he already knew the girl wouldnât be average. A souring dragon, thatâs his opinion of Bai Yanâs future.
Biting her lower lip: âIf Bai Yan really donât come back then I will cut off my connection with Pa! Me and Brother will leave this place and never return, thatâll show him for letting Bai Yan know about the main Holy Domain and letting her go in!â
Zheng Qi makes a long heavy sigh at the princessâs willful remark. Although his words showed trust and confidence, but that old heart of his also didnât want the only disciple he had to leave for such a dangerous place either.
âThis is Yan Yanâs own choice. We cannot get in the way of this childâs decision.â Making a bittersweet face, âCome Princess, it shouldnât be that long before she comes back out anyways so letâs go over to the Lordâs place and wait.â
Unlike the real world, the time frame inside the Holy Domain moves at an expedited pace. One month out here would equal to one year inside.
