Chapter 2541: Can’t Come Back 2
Editor: Henyee Translations
Exposed to the elements on Dragon Vein Mountain for half a month, Pei Yueling’s emotional state differed from Gu Chaoyan’s grief and the sorcerers’ composure.
Throughout this time, she pondered over the unfolding events. She couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a deliberate scheme behind the sorcerers’ willingness to take her in and the sudden appearance of the witches. It seemed as if she had become entangled in a plot, and that realization left her discontented. Initially, she believed she had schemed against others, but the tables had turned.
This lingering uncertainty bothered Pei Yueling.
While settling scores with the sorcerers was impossible, she was determined to uncover the truth. Doing so would, at the very least, provide her with a sense of closure.
The sorcerer observed her closely.
With a kind demeanor, he explained, “I sensed her aura from you, prompting my appearance. Surprisingly, you willingly set your conditions, likely due to a conflict with her. Your conditions happened to align well, so I agreed.”
“Having you around guaranteed her appearance. Additionally, you can consider it a gift from me.”
“Now that you have attained freedom, there’s no need to dwell on these matters and make yourself unhappy. Why don’t we simply let it go?” The sorcerer maintained his calm demeanor, treating the situation as if discussing a mundane topic.
Pei Yueling felt disheartened.
Alright…
She understood.
Despite her initial suspicions, she had guessed the truth. Yet, even with that knowledge, she couldn’t let go and insisted on seeking confirmation. The response she received was still frustrating and left her feeling helpless.
After encountering the sorcerers, Pei Yueling suddenly felt that she wasn’t treated badly at all. However, she remained cautious not to provoke Gu Chaoyan in the future.
“Thanks,” Pei Yueling expressed her grat.i.tude to Gu Chaoyan before hastily departing. In the ancient city of the Demon Clan, no one impeded her.
Once Pei Yueling left, the witches showed no inclination to leave. Gu Chaoyan exchanged a glance with the sorcerer, signaling him to depart with her.
Meanwhile, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan had intended to approach. Witnessing the situation, he could only leave in disappointment. How long had it been since he last saw his sister? Yet, these people always caused disturbances.
Frustrated, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan pondered about the intentions of this witch man.
“Why are you looking for me?” Gu Chaoyan asked calmly.
“Previously, I only knew that you left, Miss Xuelai. I didn’t know where you went. A few days ago, I sensed that you were in the Second World and thought that it had been a long time since we last met, so I came over to meet you,” the sorcerer explained with a smile. He added, “Let’s catch up.”
Catch up on old times?
Gu Chaoyan regarded the sorcerer with a look of disbelief, as if she was observing a monster. Was he here just to catch up? After creating such a commotion, everyone in the Second World was on edge and took precautions, only for them to come for a casual catch-up.
Gu Chaoyan felt thoroughly unsettled. The sorcerer had truly irritated her, and she had no desire to engage with anyone, whether in the uncivilized times or the present.
As the current Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, she chose to endure it.
“If you’re not here, why are you in the Third World, and why are you a witch?” Gu Chaoyan asked with curiosity.
The sorcerer smiled gently, finding her curiosity understandable.
He explained, “The place you’re referring to is the jurisdiction area a.s.signed to all witches. I was severely injured before, so I could only undertake missions in such a lower-level continent.”
