Chapter 2065: Going back
Sima You Yue felt relieved after hearing that.
“Ghost Concubine wouldn’t capture someone in such an obvious manner.” Sima You Yue said. That wasn’t her style as she always did bad things in secret.
Just like how she had tried to attack her in the dark, those methods would never be exposed to light. Fu Xi had the Mythical Dragon Order as well, and she would lay even lower before she managed to obtain it.
“Who would capture Fu Xi if not the Ghost Concubine?” Hai Xing questioned.
“We won’t be able to find out.” Sima You Yue continued, “All in all, they didn’t come for the Mythical Dragon Order.”
If it wasn’t for the Mythical Dragon Order, then they must be here for him. He didn’t even resist, which showed that he knew most of them.
“Could they be from up there?”
“Maybe.” Sima You Yue released the scarlet bees and got them to locate Fu Xi.
Fu Xi was gloomy and angry as he sat beside the pond while the other two were talking.
There was a black and a white elder who looked identical. The only way to differentiate them was by their clothes. Both of them walked over after their discussion and said, “Little Xi, you can’t change our decision no matter how angry you are.”
“I told you guys that I want to stay here and I don’t want to go back. You can go back yourself if you want to!” Fu Xi said angrily.
“You are an ungrateful brat. Do you know how many miles we’ve walked and how many tides we pulled through to find you and you still don’t want to go back with us?” The white clothed elder extended his hand as he poked Fu Xi’s head.
“I didn’t ask you to come!” Fu Xi groaned.
“If your Great Master, Second Master and Third Master didn’t request that of us, I’d rather stay at home and eat delicious food and drink hard liquor! Do you think we wanted to come here!” White clothed elder poked his head even harder.
“Then you should go back and tell them that you can’t find me!” Fu Xi continued, “How did you recognise me when I’m all grown up!”
Afterall, he was happy when he saw the Fourth and Fifth Master on the streets as he hadn’t seen them for so many years. However, he became unhappy after knowing that they were here to bring him back. These old bastards took him away from the streets after he said he wasn’t going back.
They stopped here only when he acted up and threw a tantrum as they dragged him for so many days just to bring him back.
Sima You Yue and the rest didn’t look for him after he was out for so many days. Was it because they didn’t care about him anymore? He felt terrible just at the thought of it.
“You’ve always been like that, nothing has changed even after you’ve grown up.” The White Robed Master snorted.
“Is Sima You Yue that good?” The Black Robed Master asked.
“Yes, she’s very good, she saved my life and even tempered my body. She also protected me when she knew many people were after me.” Fu Xi said.
“Little brat, I don’t see that you’re grateful to us when we’ve protected you for so many years?” The White Robed Master was angered to death as he felt he raised someone that had no conscience.
“If they are as good as you said, why didn’t they look for you after you left for so many days? Are they unconcerned with your safety or they didn’t even notice that you’re missing?” The Black Robed Master pierced him with that remark.
“It’s not like what you said, she’s been very busy recently that it’s normal that she doesn’t see me often. She will definitely come and look for me if she realises that I’m missing!” Fu Xi defended Sima You Yue.
“Don’t think so nicely of others, why do you still think that way when you’ve seen so many things.” The White Robed Master didn’t believe that Sima You Yue would be so nice to him. “Why does it seem that you’ve become more naive after being here for twenty over years?”
Was this naivety?
Fu Xi shook his head, “Master, you haven’t communicated with her before so you don’t know what she is like. She’s really different from others.”
“Oh?” They were surprised, when did this little brat learn how to defend someone? While he was up there, it was considered good enough that he didn’t mess with somebody, more so to defend others. Was she that good or was he brainwashed?
“No matter how good she is, she’s just a member of this realm.” The Black Robed Master continued, “She can’t go up and you can’t stay here forever. What’s the point of you staying here even for a few more days?”
They would be separated sooner or later, why hold on to those few days.
“No, she will go up!” Fu Xi said firmly, “She’s the Ninth Underworld Clan’s Young Sovereign and the contract owner of Vermillion Bird. No matter how you see it, she’ll go up to Divine Realm.”
“She’s the Ninth Underworld Clan’s Young Sovereign?”
“The Ninth Underworld Clan has always been resistant to lightning, and she actually has her own lightning, this is marvellous.”
“Even so, it’ll take her a long while before she can go up. You can’t possibly wait for her for hundreds and thousands of years here. Also, what position are you in to wait for her?”
“I….” Fu Xi stuttered with a gloomy mood.
Master was right, what position was he in to wait for her? She already had someone and there was no place for him.
They both looked at each other, did this brat fall for her? It would be hard to bring him back if that was the case. They weren’t sure how he would rebel against them given his stubborn nature.
“Do you want to snatch her back?” The Black Robed Master asked.
Fu Xi shook his head. He might have thought about that if he didn’t follow her for so long. But in the slightly more than twenty years that he had witnessed her relationship with Wu Lingyu, he knew what she was like. Even if he forcefully brought her away, he wouldn’t be able to bring her heart and soul away.
Would she still be her if there was no heart and soul?
“I guess there’s no hope.” The White Robed Master patted Fu Xi on the shoulders sympathetically but Fu Xi saw rejoice on his face.
“Even so, I’m staying.” Fu Xi was firm on his decision, he had to guard her. What would happen if she didn’t go up in the future? Or what if she took so long that she forgot about him?
“You can’t get her and can’t bear to let her go at the same time. I thought you’d be different from your Father, but you have your Father’s blood indeed.” The Black Robed Master sighed, “You know that she would go to the Divine Realm and that the situation up there isn’t good. That very year with Four Great Divine Beasts… how dangerous would it be by the time she goes up? You can’t do anything with her here, why don’t you go back and upgrade yourself. So that when she goes up, you’ll be able to give her the best protection to your ability.”
“Fourth Master is right, what can you do by staying with her? You won’t be able to protect her when she goes up if you have no power.” The White Robed Master poked on his wound, “Also, others will definitely not let you go if they know you have the power of Mythical Dragon.. We can protect you on top, but what about here? Do you want to put her in danger? Have you thought about what would happen if others learned about the existence of Vermillion Bird?”
