The crowd was silent a body of a young man lying in the middle of the street. " Ning Jian kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. " Ning Xie was first who came out of his stupor. He felt like he had been played by this young man lying on the ground.
Ning Jian also came out of his stupor. He was also very confused. But he moved with young masters command he also felt that today"s humiliation is because of him. he drew his sword to attack.
" Stop it. " Han Bing shouted. Her lips were twitching. She didn"t know what to do with him.
She thought of killing him but something was resisting this thought in her body. She looked towards her a.s.sistant.
" Get them all inside the guest hall tonight," spoke Han Bing with gritted teeth.
" But he " Ning Xie wanted to persuade her. But an angry glare caused him to shiver. He knew he wasn"t a match for her either.
" I really want to meet your wife now," mumbled Han Bing through gritted teeth while looking at the unconscious body of Bai Jie.
Then she went back inside. She was feeling very awkward standing amongst the crowd.
Ning Xie and Bao Shen saw that people of the heavenly Pavillion brought unconscious Bai jie and the old lady Ann and the children all followed in.
Bao Shen and Ning Xie also left the scene. Their minds couldn"t understand the events that took place here. Especially Ning Xie he felt like a fool the woman he was pursuing his whole life had been taken away from him. They both knew it would just smearing their own reputation if they stayed here anymore.
Bao Shen moved into the corners of alleys before he reached an open s.p.a.ce.
" Uncle yuan you can come out," said Bao Shen and an old man appeared beside him. He knew his uncle was following him he was after all heir to be the family successor. He had man cousins but he was the most opted one among them to be the family head.
" Dear nephew I could understand if you want to find trouble with Ning Xie. But why did you help that mortal even after you know that Han Bing was personally involved you were lucky that the situation didn"t escalate or it could have been bad for Bao family," said Bao yuan while he was frowning? he was a 7th stage mortal. He was very unsettled why would his intelligent nephew help a trash like that.
" Uncle yuan I can"t explain it but I have a gut feeling, " replied Bao Shen.
" What feeling," asked Bao yuan with his eyebrows arched.
" To tell you the truth when I first saw him a thought came to my mind. Even I never felt like that before It was simple actually" said Bao shen. He had his eyes closed he was remembering that feeling.
" Little nephew don"t try to trick your uncle hahaha. if you want to make excuses to impress me then don"t, you will still need to be the strongest among other descendants" said Bao yuan. He felt his nephew was covering his embarra.s.sment.
" Haha you can also say it like that," replied Bao Shen. he didn"t want to explain because even he doubted what he felt. When he first saw the young man grabbing the leg of the guard he felt a terror grip his heart. Bao shen has been training in the rank 1 battlefield for years now. Where he had developed an ability to sensing danger of beasts by sensing their aura it had saved his life many times. Some beast may look weak but their strength surpa.s.ses even those of the 10 times their size.
Bao Shen felt the terrifying aura that comes from the beasts even he wasn"t sure of it. He only sensed this aura on one man that he met in his life. In the world of cultivators, he is known as the absolute menace who had defiled the path of cultivation. But in the community of mortals, he is also known as The strongest Mortal.
" Instruct the Bao family descendants not to offend that guy no matter what," said Bao Shen with a serious expression.
Bao Yuan didn"t reply he just nodded. But he thought that Bao shen was just exaggerating.
********†**
In the Ji Household in Yi Ying courtyard.
" You want to leave. " Alice had a shocked look.
She also felt it was a lot to take in.
First who she thought was a Beast sp.a.w.n was turned out to be a fairy. This stuck her very hard. Everyone has always believed that she was a Beast these people were also known as Demi-human.
Because of the war between the human nation and beast kind These Demi-humans were despised by both sides. They were the public enemy.
" Yes I want to leave this place and you are coming with me," said Yi ying sternly. She knew she couldn"t let Alice live here because she knew her secret. She had already covered her face again.
" Why we have such a good life here and if everyone knows what you actually look like then. " Alice suddenly had a thought in her mind. " You did not want anyone to know even lord Ji don"t know. " Alice spoke out loud her mind. She felt this woman was terrifying who had kept this secret. She knew everyone despised her but this woman had endured it for all these years without even revealing any emotional distress. If she had revealed herself lord Ji might have taken her as his own wife. She could have become the mistress of this Ji household.
Yi ying just nodded she didn"t want to explain. It was because of the circ.u.mstances she needs Alice or she would have never involved her.
" Please don"t kill me," said Alice horrified. She knew if she wants to keep it a secret then she must be eliminated that"s what she would have done.
" Stop I don"t want to kill you I will even protect you if I can," replied Yi ying. She felt it was because of her that Alice got involved in this mess. But she also didn"t expect Ji Julian to react like that she still wasn"t clear on the reason why. But now she had to take responsibility. " I want to leave this place and you are coming with me. "
" Alright. " Alice nodded. She knew lord Ji might kill her at any time. So it was better to leave with Yi ying than wait for her death.
Yi ying was ready for another argument with her. But her sudden acceptance surprised her. She felt Alice was more mature than her she was able to make such a decision in seconds.
" Okay, I have already discussed this matter with the young miss. she will make the necessary arrangements. I won"t force you to do things you don"t want to do. I have a friend outside who will meet us. " explained Yi ying they have only one chance at this.
" This friend of yours does know about your secret too," asked Alice concerned.
" No, he doesn"t. " Yi ying replied. She didn"t want to tell her too much.
" so it"s a he, I see " replied Alice. while a smile was on her lips.
Yi ying felt fear grip her heart this little sister of hers was not as innocent as she thought
" My life is also linked to yours I hope you won"t hide things from me," said Alice honestly. She had served Ji household for many years but lord Ji wants to end her life. The least she could do was to escape with Yi ying. It was also her best option currently. As the saying goes even a fly would retaliate if it"s life is in danger.
" I also want to give you the advice you are too trustful of others. So I won"t trust your friend and you shouldn"t too. Everyone had an anterior motive. " said Alice seriously. Now her life was bound to her she felt there is a special need to warn her.
Yi ying nodded. She knew it was genuine advice.
" Okay, I will go back. " Alice wanted to leave to pack up her things.
" No, you can"t leave until we leave Ji village I won"t let you out my sight," said Yi ying sternly.
" Hehe you learn quick, don"t you. " Alice smiled awkwardly. She felt that she struck it on her own feet. She wanted to make a backup plan to inform lord Ji to make sure if by any means she got caught. She could make a reasonable excuse.
" I really want to know how do you have such keen insight," asked Yi ying.
" Nothing special just ordinary," said Alice with a humble att.i.tude.
" There is another thing that I want to tell you," said Yi ying.
" of course big sister you can tell me anything," said Alice excitedly. The more she knew the better it would be.
" I don"t know where to find him. " Yi ying replied with her head lowered. She didn"t know if Bai jie would be waiting for her.
" cough cough " Alice felt that this how could anyone call this lady The infamous Head maid. " Who would have thought that this infamous head maid could be so dumb. " The only person on which the whole plan relied on and she didn"t even know where to meet him.
" You, I " Alice felt agitated. " and now you are telling me. why not wait for another few days."
Yi ying didn"t know what to say anymore. She knew how Alice felt.
Alice started complaining while Yi ying listened quietly. She knew if they want to work together she had to endure it.
