Boom!!
A wave of anger poured out of Keeper Yellow’s heart in that moment, causing his fist to crunch up into a ball and eyes flaring with fire.
“That old coot actually… how dare he help that woman kill keeper Red! It’s true, aside from our Lord and that demon king, only that old coot has the powers to kill us Keepers. There’s no way the Celestial Lord will do something like that, nor can Demon King Di Cang come here while he’s at the Demon City!”
He really betrayed us, betrayed us for that adopted granddaughter!
“Ruo Xi, you’ve done nothing wrong. You defended the Celestial Palace when those people at criticized us, that proves you are a kind-hearted girl! Besides, you left not for the sake of yourself, but everyone in this world as a whole. Even if we were to change place with Keeper Red, we would also send you away like she did!”
Anger has already taken over this elder’s head so the flaws in that story were easily able to slip past him. For one thing, why would the old coot want to kill her, and then let her escape to the mountain? That doesn’t add up already in that regards. Why not hunt her down after killing Keeper Red?
And……
There were many more flaws not listed, but at the end of the day, if this Keeper had spent even a minute going over the issue, he would be able to point out all the major lies here today. But he didn’t, why? It’s because he trusts this witch way too much to the point of being blind.
“Keeper Yellow….” Looking all pitiful and sad in her face, “You don’t have to keep comforting me, this is my fault, I was the one who saved Bai Yan back then. If I didn’t save her then none of this would’ve happened….”
“I tried to go speak to her, use logic to persuade her, but she didn’t listen. Then when I brought up the subject about using a young fox’s blood to heal my body, she flew into a rage and wanted to kill me. I honestly didn’t think she would be so stubborn and thick-headed.” After saying all that, she once again lowered her head and began to sob, which hit the elder’s heart like a sore spot.
“That wretched woman is a real ungrateful dog! You saved her and still want to kill you?!” Grinding his teeth, Keeper Yellow swear he’s never seen such a shameless person before.
Meanwhile on the other end, Yun Ruo Xi was elated inside after finding success to her story. “I never wanted power. I only wanted the fox blood for the sake of this world. I know, I’m the only hope of everyone and must regain the ability to grow stronger, otherwise there will be no one to solve the incoming calamity. In the end it is I who is the useless one for not being better.”
Talk about being deceitful. It’s bad enough this witch stole Bai Yan’s identity by using that crescent moon amulet she got as a gift, now she’s going with the story of wanting to be a savior. If anyone were to be a coward here, it would be this Yun Ruo Xi! She would run at the slightest hint of danger, that’s the sort of person she was!
