From livid to despair, it’s incredibly hard to describe the sort of faces Keeper Zun and the others were making right now.
“What’s going on here Ruo Xi, tell me what’s going on!” The kind Keeper almost could breathe due to how much panting he was making.
We believed in her for a thousand years, spoiled her for a thousand years, and at the end of the day the amulet goes and recognizes someone else as the owner?
Hahaha! It’s ridiculous, it’s ridiculous.
“I… I don’t know…” Ghostly pale in the face, this slick tongued deceitful liar that was Yun Ruo Xi finally met her match today. No matter how smooth and quick witted that brain of hers was, it’s not going to help against reality, “I really don’t know….”
“Hahaha, you don’t know! You’re telling us you don’t know!” The more he laughed, the more the tears came rolling down Keeper Zun’s eye.
“Yun Ruo Xi, we believed in you, we doted you, and now all you have to say to us is you don’t know?”
This time, it’s not only the kind hearted Keeper who’s been chilled to the bone, the others are also shocked and despairing over the truth. Truly, none of them wants to admit it, admit to the fact that their choice a millennium ago was wrong.
“Hahaha! As if you people can’t tell what’s going on here?” The old goat casually steps forward, “This woman over there stole my mistress’s amulet and claimed to be All Heaven’s owner. Oh right, that name too, she only learned of it through my mouth before. Why else would you idiots not hear about it prior until recently?”
Keeper Zun became painfully regretful as he closes his eyes slowly. He wants to change the past, but all that came was a weak helplessness from within.
Indeed, until recently, we never even heard of the amulet having a name…..
“A thousand years, Yun Ruo Xi, you deceived us for a thousand years,” quivering in the lip, the kind Keeper bitterly mutters this aloud.
Back then a thousand years ago when all was well, they too had a good image of Bai Yan when the old coot brought her back. Who wouldn’t like a good talented young girl right? But, it all changed once Yun Ruo Xi came…..
She was brought into the Celestial Palace by Bai Yan herself. According to the story told to them, the girls are childhood friends and that Yun Ruo Xi’s older brother died protecting Bai Yan, hence the strong level of affection between the two.
Going by that detail, it’s estimated that’s also the time where the amulet was given out to Yun Ruo Xi by Bai Yan, it’s for the older brother’s sacrifice. But they didn’t tell anyone about the exchange, otherwise why else would these Keepers turn on Bai Yan after being framed as the scourge of the Celestial Realm.
