Chapter 1797 “Yun Feng’s Peril (3)
Gu Ya casted one last look at Butterfly before turning away, not saying a single word as that figure disappeared into the night. Since the female elder has said things to such a degree, she too had no need to keep being nice. It’s one thing if the mask hadn’t been ripped apart, but this situation has clearly done that so neither party needed to keep up the façade.
“Song,” seeing they’re alone now, Butterfly slowly comes before the child and squats down. Speaking in a soft gentle voice that unexpectedly relaxed the air: “You don’t have to worry too much, your grandfather and Mrs. Di will be fine, nothing bad will happen.”
“Mmm.” Despite the consoling words, Song only stared into the air at the direction of where they all left, her eyes filled with sadness and worry.
I hope… Grandfather and Mrs. Di will come back soon…
……
Just like the silence of the night, the ancient ruins are also without sound due to the anxious air hovering above the heads of the people surrounding this place. They are waiting for help from the Monarch Manor.
It’s then when the mood grew increasingly more oppressive and unsettling, several figures had swooped down from the looming clouds.
“Thank goodness you’re here Elder Sky, the monarch is still not back yet and we have no information about his condition, please hurry and think of something.”
The ones saying this are all looking anxious and urgent, which goes to show how powerless they are right now. Heavenly was their main backbone that only returned after much difficulty so it’s not hard to understand why they are panicking so hard.
“What exactly happened, and where is he?” Bai Yan swept her furrowed gaze across the group and asked using that cold edgy voice.
“Elders, this is…” An old man frowned as he landed his sight upon the female in question, those eyes showing a examining light.
“She’s Miss Ling Yan’s mother, and you can go ahead and tell her.”
Ji Sky did not have time to explain the identity of Bai Yan so he glossed over the details and urged his peer to get on with it. Perhaps the medical skills could even come in handy if he’s not wrong, after all, she did cure his granddaughter tonight.
Third Elder became stunned by what he heard. It’s no secret Heavenly dotes on that little pipsqueak, and for the sake of the child, they’ve been searching high and low for the girl’s mother. And now standing before himself was the mother of that very child?
“We had just accompanied the monarch deep into the ruins, but it wasn’t long before a mass of black mist devoured the monarch.”
Black mist?
Putting down her daughter, Bai Yan turns to Bai Ning: “Mother, we will go see for ourselves.”
Bai Ning nodded and followed Bai Yan into the ruins.
Although this place was considered ancient relic of the past, but the insides were like another world. There’s a bridge up ahead after going through the entrance where it leads to a straight road.
“You guys don’t have to come in,” Bai Yan saw the elders and others wanted to follow as well so she immediately stopped them. “I and my mother is enough.”
To be clear, that’s not out of concern for Elder Sky and the rest, rather it’s for her precious daughter’s sake. The more protection there was for the pipsqueak, the more relieved she would be while investigating this ruin. Besides, what good are they anyways? If they are capable then why would they themselves need to come, right?
