Chapter 1968 “Di Cang’s Whereabout (6)”
Hearing this from Mo Xin Yan’s mouth, Willow’s indifference completely disappeared.
“Xin Yan, I am not interrogating you, but this matter is very important. I don’t want my hands forced…. You are my only disciple in this world. I do not want to see you betraying me for the sake of a man.” Willow’s tone became harsh again at the end: “If you let me know that one day you betrayed me, I will definitely cut you to pieces!”
Mo Xin Yan’s heart trembled a little for she understood her shifu wasn’t joking around.
“Okay, you can go down now. I’m sure you are not involved with this problem.”
Willow did not give Mo Xin Yan another chance to speak and waved her off in a dismissal.
“Yes, Shifu,” Mo Xin Yan bows and turns away with pursed lips, “Shifu, you have a good rest. I will come see you later.”
After getting outside and out of view, Mo Xin Yan stopped and clenched her fist until the nails had pierced the palm. She’s so frustrated that the girl’s almost unable to breathe.
Shifu…. I’m sorry, I initially thought I would obey you for the rest of my life, but after meeting him, I can no longer do that. I know you treat me very well, but love is blind, and I have already turned my back on you.
She closed her eyes gently for a long while, using this brief moment to gather her breath for the consequences of her own actions.
Meanwhile back over in the study room, Xiao Yun the maid stood quietly beside the monarch: “Monarch, do you really believe what the miss’s said there?”
Willow made a faint smile before replying: “I understand your meaning, but I know my disciple better than anyone. She doesn’t dare to betray me. Moreover, I’m the one who gave her everything. If she does betray, the fate awaiting her would be far worse than simple death. So…. I hope she doesn’t go down that path. otherwise, I won’t spare her even if she did stay with me for so many years….”
After hearing that, Xiao Yun lowered her head after getting out of line: “I understand, I won’t pry on this subject any further. But mistress, what method are we going to use to find him this time?”
“It’s too time-consuming for us to look for him, and he’s bound to escape our grasp if he catches any wind like this time.” Willow’s lip curved into a smirk, “So, I have the better idea of luring him to us instead. Let him take the initiative instead.”
“Initiative?” Xiao Yun got surprised, “Monarch, that…”
“Just say… a woman came barged into the Monarch Manor with a horde of demon beasts. She’s called Yan’er and the queen of all demons, and that she’s his woman… Di Cang will come to us once he hears of this rumor. Even if he doesn’t believe it, he won’t give up on this opportunity, especially if the woman is in danger!”
As soon as Di Cang appears, I will personally subdue him again…..
“Yes, Monarch.” The maid bowed and withdrew herself from the study.
……
In the woods, a group of adventurers was resting around a clearing when they began to converse.
“Have you heard? The monarch’s husband… The man named Di Cang had a lover, and the lover raided the Monarch Manor with a horde of demonic beasts. They say she called herself Yan’er, Queen of Demons…. It’s unbelievable that even the woman’s name is similar to Miss Xin Yan’s. I don’t see how she deserves such a good name.”
