Chapter 689 “Impersonate (1)”
“Where’s your mother?” the man asks again with a deeper sound signature.
Against that constant pleading, the baby fox unconsciously softens up once more. However, whenever he does so, the image of Bai Yan’s bloodied up body from that day instantly reemerges and strengthens his resolve.
Huffing a snort, he deliberately swings his head to the side in order to ignore the pain from the man’s eye.
“Xiachen, the man from that day wasn’t me.”
Really? Suspiciously sneaking a peak, the baby fox didn’t know whether to believe that explanation or not. What if he’s here to pursue Mother in order to finish the job?
Flickering with light over that possibility, those sneaky blue eyes grew cunning like he’s just thought up a plan. And since Di Cang only had the thought of reuniting with his wife again, the demon lord naturally couldn’t catch onto the boy’s inner thought.
Under those pleading eyes of this father, Bai Xiachen eventually nodded.
“You agree?” Trembling in his hand, the man had to take a good moment to take in this reality for its too much for his heart.
Unfortunately for him though, instead of heading for the Zhong Manor’s location like they should, the baby fox went in the complete opposite way and intends to lead the man astray. Di Cang could doubt anyone, but not his son. As such, he followed with a sense of ecstasy at the eventual reunion of his wife.
……
Zhong Manor.
Bai Yan had searched every nook and cranny she could think of already. Whether it be the back mountain or the nearby city streets, she couldn’t locate her son at all. After a long while of musing, she figured there’s only one other location she didn’t look yet and that was the Dragon River. “Xiachen must’ve went to look for Tsing Yi at the bottom of the river. No matter, I will go have a look over there regardless.”
Out of her own urgency, the woman didn’t leave any word behind for her two shifus and headed directly for the river. To her surprise, there were a lot, and by a lot she meant a ton of people scouring the river bank at the moment when she arrives.
“What going on here, why is there so many people around?” Furrowing that tightly knotted brow, she asks one of the bystanders.
“You don’t know yet?” The one being asked was a teenager who appeared quite taken aback by the strange question, “Aren’t you also a member of our Misty Fairy House? How could you not know when something this big happened?”
Bai Yan’s face showed a look of embarrassment: “I haven’t been out for a long time so I’m kind of out of the loop.”
My two shifus only told me to keep away from the Dragon River, never did they mention about anything else like the place being a huge attraction. What if they discover Tsing Yi’s location?
Just as Bai Yan’s contemplating the risks of this continuing, the youth speaks up again and kept going: “It is said that a few days ago there appeared a genius young lady during the Youth Convention. Not only did this person cure the Mirage family’s Huan Yin of her physical condition, she also saved the girl and another from the dragons that attacked the boat. For that reason, everyone’s now out and about in search of that missing lady.”
Making a face of disbelief and shock, Did my actions that day raise such a huge sensation? And, I didn’t know until now?
“We’ve found her!” ”
Suddenly, a wave of joy interrupts her train of thought and instantly attracted the attention of all from the front.
Looking over, she herself could see two young maids currently supporting a woman out of the Dragon River. Just like how she was that day, this individual had on a veil to cover up the better part of the blood smeared face while the dress grew sticky to the body as a result of the water.
What’s going on here, didn’t I instruct Goldy and Silvery to not drag anyone into the water again? Why are there still people falling into the Dragon River? She frowns and became rather perplexed by the scene.
