Chapter 1071 “Bai Yan’s Fury (10)”
“What’s more…” Liu Qing Yu’s voice stalled for a moment, “If she dies, we won’t be able to live either!”
After returning to the Spirit Realm this lady had more than once tried to remove the poison in her own system. Sadly, regardless of her effort, she couldn’t lift it. This also proves that their life was now firmly tied to Bai Yan as a person. If she lives, they live, if she dies, they die.
This won’t do!
I must save her!
“Miss, we’ll try to leave the Spirit Realm again during the night. However, if we leave this time then we won’t be able to come back again.” The senior sighs over their own future.
It’s exactly as Elder Jun claims. If they leave now then its indicative of their crime, meaning they would become wanted throughout the Spirit Realm. Returning would be a death sentence.
Liu Qing Yu didn’t speak as her body quivered so slightly at the thought. She’s contemplating what to do right now for the final decision lies with herself. Undeniably the lady doesn’t hold much affection for this Spirit Realm and would love to see it perish, however, this place, there are too many memories of her and her mother together…..
“Elder Jun,” a bittersweet smile comes out, “but what choice do we have other than that? If Mother was alive then I’m sure she would also hope for me to leave this wretched place. To be free and to be not bound by the restraints provided by this forsaken realm.” Closing her eyes, a pang of pain surfaces from the girl’s appearance.
“Miss…” The senior’s expression also showed pain after hearing that, “Do you want to… visit the madam again?”
Shaking her head: “No, that will only arouse the man’s suspicion even further. We will leave tonight as you suggested.” Raising her head, she then looks upward to the open blue sky.
Maybe this will be the last time I see this picture again….
Night time.
Dressed in a clad of black, Liu Qing Yu and her accomplice were silently running through the courtyard until they reached the exit again like this morning. Giving Elder Jun a signal, they swiftly came behind and attacked, removing the two guards without any sound or struggle.
However, right as the two issued a breath of relief at their own success to remove the obstacle, countless torches instantly lit up around them, surrounding the pair and cornering them to the spot.
Liu Qing Yu froze over in that moment. Stiffly turning her head around, the picture of Hu Fei Xiang immediately came into view.
“Father….” Trembling in her voice, there’s white all over that face as the sweat soaked the lady’s dark clothing.
“My good daughter, where are you going when it’s this late?” asked the Spirit Lord in a calm manner.
Twitching nervously in the corner of her mouth: “I noticed a jade hairpin the other day and didn’t bring enough money. Then when I sent Elder Jun to go get it for me this morning, these guards forbade us from leaving, that’s why I want sneak out tonight to buy it.”
“Are you going to buy a hairpin or to go give those humans word of our invasion?” He Fei Xiang sneered and approached his daughter with dangerous air: “I’ve been thinking about it ever since the last assault. Do we have a traitor among our mix? But you know, our Spirit Realm isn’t a place where ordinary people can leave and go as they please. That leaves you as the main suspect.” Cackling now like an evil overlord, “You know why I called a meeting out in the open today? Its to set you up, I wanted to see if you will really fall for the bait I set!”
