Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please Chapter 279.4 - Mother Has Gone Missing

Chapter 279.4: Mother Has Gone Missing
Lou Jun Yao took the stone out and held it in his palm. “What is it?”
This was the special way he and Bai Zhi Yan were able to communicate with each other and it was usually used in urgent situations. A normal and unremarkable looking piece of rock, but it actually possesses amazing powers that could penetrate any kind of barrier or shield, allowing him to contact people outside unobstructed.
“Is Qing Yu beside you?” Bai Zhi Yan’s voice sounded like it carried a faint tinge of anxiety and panic.
Lou Jun Yao raised an eyebrow. “She is. What happened?”
“Aunt Lan went missing since this morning and I had thought that she must have merely gone out for a stroll out of boredom. But so many hours have passed and she still has not come back. I have searched everywhere in the Divine Healers Sect and was not able to find her. All the disciples I sent out have also told me that no one had seen Aunt Lan appear anywhere in the vicinity.”
Bai Zhi Yan seemed to be highly anxious and frantic, his breathing uneven. It looked like it had been quite a great shock to him.
Lou Jun Yao cast his glance to look at the young lady beside him whose face had suddenly turned dark. He then said to Bai Zhi Yan: “Don’t panic yet. Send more people out to go look. The Divine Healers Sect’s security has always been good so we can eliminate the possibility that Aunt Lan was abducted. Could she possibly have encountered someone she knew and left with that person?”
“I really do not know. Anyway, that Senior Mo is really terrifying now and I will not be able to hold him down much longer. Can you hurry your way back here! ?” Bai Zhi Yan urged with strong urgency in his voice.
“Alright. I will.”
After ending the conversation, Lou Jun Yao then turned to look at Qing Yu and said in a tender voice: “Don’t worry. Aunt Lan will be found. Everything will be fine.”
Qing Yu’s eyes were lowered and she did not say anything for a long while. After some time, she suddenly stared into the distance and started to say slowly: “Could it….. have something to do with the Mind Free Peak…..”
Had her mother wanted to stop her from going to the Mind Free Peak because there was something in her that someone had an interest in?
As her mother’s soul fragments have all been returned back to their rightful place, then her cultivation powers should logically have been almost fully restored. Besides the hidden reclusive experts, no one in Cloud Heaven would be her match. So the possibility that she has been captured was moot.
Then the only possible reason for her disappearance was she had done that voluntarily, or that she had decided to leave on her own accord.
Because she had not wanted Qing Yu to be exposed, she had made herself to become the bait, so as to shift their focus onto herself instead.
And what awaited her could possibly not just be the same ten years’ imprisonment like she faced before, but her departure this time might separate them for eternity, never to meet again, where all her memories, her past…..
Would all come to an end.
