Chapter 1436 “Head Alchemist of the Celestial Palace (5)”
Half a ring later, Healer Yu finally opens his eyes and revealed a somewhat pale complexion along with a layer of sweat covering that forehead.
“Grandshifu, did you find my grandfather yet?” Yue Shishi urgently asks from across the table.
No answer came, only silence and a pair of clenched fists from the exhausted elder.
“Please tell me, did something happened?” Now getting even more worried, the sickly lady started sobbing uncontrollably, “Don’t worry, I can bear the truth.”
A faint sigh comes out of Healer Yu’s mouth at this scene, his old eyes filled with grief: “Your grandfather, he…. he’s gone.”
Boom!
Like a sunny day suddenly being covered in darkness, Yue Shishi’s body collapsed and nearly took to the ground. The only reason the lady didn’t was thanks to the wall from behind, keeping her back straight and not breaking apart.
“How did this happen? How could something have happened to Grandfather? He promised to come back quickly… I won’t believe it, I won’t….” As she shook her head, tears continued to roll, thus making the picture all the more heartbreaking.
I don’t believe it!
Grandfather is so powerful, who else in the world can kill him?
“Yun Ruo Xi!” Yue Shishi suddenly glared upwards with veins showing in those eyes, “It must be Yun Ruo Xi! She must’ve killed my grandfather! It must be her!”
“Yun Ruo Xi?” Healer Yu’s expression deepened into a frown, “She doesn’t have that ability.”
“No,” the lady shakes her head to refute the denial, “I accidentally came across her with a very powerful individual before. The person looks like a demon. Furthermore, how could she have known about Grandfather’s death without us being aware of it first? She must’ve done it!” A burning fire resembling hatred now filled the sickly lady’s face.
That’s right, it must be Yun Ruo Xi who ordered that demon, it must be her who’s behind all this!
Healer Yu’s eyes narrowed in as well: “Are you absolutely sure about this?”
“I saw it with my own eyes! She called that demon Winger, it must be that demon who killed my grandfather at her order!”
In this world, the most important person for this sickly lady was her grandfather and grandshifu. Now that she’s lost one of them, a dark side that has never seen the light of day has come forward in the girl.
“We will leave it at that for now Shishi, the first priority is to locate your grandfather’s last known location before his death. After we retrieve his body then we can settle the debt with that Yun Ruo Xi!” Getting ugly as well along the face, Healer Yu growled viciously at what has befallen his disciple.
If it really is that old woman then I won’t let her go for this!
……
Bai Yan naturally wouldn’t know about that incident within the Celestial Palace. Truly, she accounted for a lot of things, but never for someone else taking the blame for her own actions like killing Senior Yue. As the old saying goes, trouble comes from the tongue, and that’s exactly what occurred here for Yun Ruo Xi who got too talkative.
Anyways, there’s more pressing matter for Bai Yan and her family to care about right now then to care about other people. For example, getting the heck out of this Holy Dragon Mountain.
“Mother, are we lost?” Bai Xiachen asks with a tinge of worry in his little eyes.
Lost?
Really, that word has never been in their dictionary until this day. But aside from that, what else could it be?
Furrowing her brow at her son’s question, Bai Yan hands Dragony over to her young friend Mo Li Shang for carrying. After that’s done, she immediately flew into the air to scan the area. To the woman’s surprise though, the base of the mountain remains nowhere in sight despite the greater height she’s taken, which was very abnormal.
“How does it look Mother?” The steambun shouts up from the ground, his eyes eager to get out of here: “Is there a way to leave?”
