As such, at this moment, Gu Ruoyun missed the quick sh of light in his eyes.
"Yun’er, from here on, no matter what happens, I, Qianbei Ye, will never harm a single hair on your head. You must believe me."
"Alright. I trust you."
This man had apanied me for so many years. How could I not trust him?
Even if he happened to point a sword at her one day, there was no way that this person would be her Xiao Ye.
Because Xiao Ye would never ever hurt her.
"Yun’er, when are we leaving?"
"After a month. I’ve promised Ye Lan that I would cure him. Once he’s healthy again, we can leave the Banished Lands."
Gu Ruoyun smiled gently. Now that Xiao Ye was awake, it was time for them to leave this ce.
Her only regret was that Zixie was not by her side...
...
At the East Peak Maind.
Seated in a guest house, the man’s face looked as cold as ice. His handsome, godlike features disyed a thick murderous intent. His golden eyes slowly darkened and his fingers gently brushed the wine cup on the table.
"You’ve rushed me back from the Banished Lands, saying that you’ve found Yun’er’s murderer. I wonder who this person is?"
Xia Chuxue’s entire face was filled with urgency and a hint of rage, "Big Brother Jin, it’s true. The one responsible for my elder sister’s death is that holy doctor, Bai Zhongtian! At that time, he had wanted to marry her off to someone in exchange for some medicinal herbs. Big Sister refused so he had killed her."
Smash!
The man’s palm gathered strength and shattered the cup in his hand into pieces, some of which had pierced into his hand. Yet he did not seem to feel it. His golden eyes remained cold and arrogant as he asked, "The proof?"
"The proof..." A vicious light shed in Xia Chuxue’s eyes, "The proof is that Bai Zhongtian has recently been in contact with Qin Ran. This Qin Ran was the man whom Bai Zhongtian had initially wanted my sister to marry."
Qin Ran...
The man’s golden eyes turned increasingly cold as he heard that name. He spoke darkly, "I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. If he had truly murdered Yun’er, then I will hunt him down and kill him even if I have to go to the ends of the earth!"
Xia Chuxue sneered at the sight of the man’s expression.
Big Brother Jin, I can arrange for whatever evidence you want! By the time you receive the results of your investigation, it will all point towards Bai Zhongtian, Xia Ruoyun’s murderer. By then, I’ll use you to send that troublesome old man off to apany Xia Ruoyun.
Whoosh!
Just as Xia Chuxue spoke, Jin Di’s body turned into a sh of light and charged off at top speed. Xia Chuxue, who had remained behind and watched him leave, clenched her fists. She took a deep breath before turning around and left the guest house.
At the Xia family home, a ce with many visitors.
When Xia Ruoyun was still alive, even though she had a deep friendship with Jin Di, they did not see each other very often. That was why the world was unaware of her rtionship with Jin Di. Even her father and younger sister, Xia Ming and Xia Chuxue, had only found out about it after her death.
With the help of Jin Di, the Xia family has managed to destroy countless enemies. Thus, the world began to sit up and take notice of the Xia family. With the backing of a Martial Supreme, not many families in the East Peak Maind dared to oppress the Xia family.
Furthermore, the rest of the word was unaware of another trump card hidden within the Xia family home.
In a damp secret chamber, a chirping sound could be heard.
If one were to look inside, one would find a firebird locked inside the secret chamber with a table filled with all sorts of fresh food. However, it did not seem to have any appetite as it looked around the tightly-sealed stone room. It then let out a howl before angrily sweeping the delicious food off the table.
