“Mother!” Di Ling Yan’s face were filled with tears, those big red eyes staring up in a pleading manner, “Are you going to leave Ling Yan behind? I also want to find Grandpapa.”
The sound of the little milky soft bun melted away the demon queen’s hard expression at the moment. Crouching down, the mother reaches out to rub the little head: “Be good Ling Yan, mother is only going inside to search for your grandpapa. We will be back really fast so don’t worry. Can you stay here and wait for mother?”
“Mother lie, it’s clearly very dangerous,” the pipsqueak protests in a pitiful tone. “Ling Yan isn’t as skillful as Big Brother, but as long as I can be together with Mother then I am afraid of nothing. I’m not afraid of danger.”
Bai Yan’s heart felt so sour and pained when hearing that proclamation. Brainstorming a better excuse, the demon queen knew there’s nothing she could say after seeing that stubborn little face.
Steeling her inside to not make this more painful: “Ling Yan, if mother and your grandmother go inside then we have fifty percent chance to bring your grandpapa back out safely. If we bring you along then that chance would go down drastically because we will need to keep an eye out for you, do you understand? So, stay here with them, your grandpapa’s people will protect you while were away.”
No matter what the elders did before, these people were sincere towards Ling Yan. Coupling this with the fact that they’re Father’s own men, Bai Yan had no reason to believe they are going to harm Ling Yan while they are not looking.
Still staring upwards with those big blue eyes, Di Ling Yan finally relented and gradually lowered her clinging hands from the woman’s sleeve. Nevertheless, the face she made told everyone how much she hated being left behind.
“Okay, I will wait here for you Mother. As long as Mother doesn’t come back then I won’t go anywhere.”
Even if this kind of waiting equated to a lifetime, she won’t budge….
Bai Yan knows her words must hurt a lot, but sometimes the best course of action was to be cruel so it doesn’t hurt more later. The demon queen knows her daughter was cleverer than the average baby, she would eventually understand even if the worse comes to past.
However……
It doesn’t change the fact that the child’s sensibility distressed the demon queen to no ends. She’s a real bad mother for making their child go through so much.
“I’m leaving my daughter here with you guys,” she said with power in that voice, “if the duration is too long, help me take care of Ling Yan until her fathers comes….”
At this moment everyone’s heart was shocked by her words. They wanted to help Heavenly before when he fell into danger, but that black mist overwhelmed them and forcibly pushed them away. And now this woman was willing to risk her life for their monarch? And that statement, it’s almost like a will…. Why are they going this far when they’re unrelated?
“I’ll go in with you.” Ji Sky frowned and stepped forward.
“No need.” Tossing this down, Bai Yan did not want to say more than that and left with Bai Ning.
“Mother, let’s go.”
No matter the dispute, Ji Sky’s strength was undoubtedly the strongest while they were at the manor. So, for the sake of keeping Ling Yan safe, Bai Yan doesn’t want this old man to tag along either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be comfortable going inside this ruin and leaving Ling Yan alone.
Bang!
As soon as the two ladies were inside, the gate acting as the entrance to this ancient ruin abruptly slammed shut.
“Elder Sky, this woman…. Who exactly is she?” Fifth Elder asks with open strain plastered across his face: “I do not understand them. They know very well that they might die inside or go missing like the monarch, why are they going this far for us?”
