Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I know.” Gu Ruoyun replied guiltily, “The Hell’s Lotus is the most valuable thing in the Banished Lands and I’ve asked for it the moment I had arrived. It’s clearly not sensible but I have no other choice. My husband-to-be is now in a deep slumber, unable to awaken. Only the Hell’s Lotus can wake him. That was why I had come here to ask the Ye family to loan me the Hell’s Lotus.”
Ye Lan was startled before laughing bitterly and helplessly, “Lady Gu, it’s not that I don’t want to loan it to you, this Hell’s Lotus is honestly very important to me. If you have any other requests, I will definitely do my best to fulfill it for you. However, for the Hell’s Lotus, I really cannot loan it to you.”
At least, before finding the genius who holds the Flames of Nirvana, he cannot pass on just yet.
For once he loses the Hell’s Lotus, he will most certainly end up dead!
Without the existence of the Hell’s Lotus, he would not have stayed alive at all even with the sheer force of his own willpower! One can imagine how important the Hell’s Lotus was to him.
Ye Nuo had remained silent from the very beginning. He looked at Gu Ruoyun then Ye Lan. His eyes darted back and forth continuously but no one could tell what he was scheming…
“Then I’m very sorry to have disturbed you all. I’ll take my leave now.”
Gu Ruoyun sighed in disappointment. She really needed that Hell’s Lotus and if it was in the hands of anyone else, she would be thinking of ways to snatch it for Qianbei Ye’s sake.
However, she could not do such a thing to the Ye family.
This time, her remaining hope was extinguished.
“Wait.”
Seeing that Gu Ruoyun was about to leave, Ye Lan suddenly called out to her, “There is more than one Hell’s Lotus in the Banished Lands. I can send the Ye family’s disciples to search for it for you. Meanwhile, you can stay here during that period of time. It will be easier for me to inform you of any news.”
Gu Ruoyun fell momentarily silent before nodding, “Alright, then I thank you, Master Ye.”
Ye Lan was right, there was more than one Hell’s Lotus in the Banished Lands. Because they were far too valuable, there were only a few left in the world. Based on the magnitude of the Ye family’s power, they would definitely receive news of a Hell’s Lotus in the quickest way possible.
“Alright, then I will prepare your living quarters. Xingtian, you will send your men out tomorrow to help the Gu girl in finding news about the Hell’s Lotus. We must help Lady Gu’s husband-to-be.”
Ye Lan maintained a stern face and gave the order in a strict manner.
“Yes.” Came Ye Xingtian’s respectful reply.
“Nuo’er, you will escort the Gu girl on her way.”
Without even waiting for Ye Lan to give the order, Ye Nuo led Gu Ruoyun by the hand and walked out of the grand hall with her.
“Bodyguard Gu, you have no idea how bored I’ve been in your absence. Luckily, you’re finally here to keep me company. I don’t care. I’m sleeping in your room tonight.”
“Sigh.”
Watching Ye Nuo as he led Gu Ruoyun out of the room, Ye Lan sighed, “How unfortunate, this little girl already has a husband-to-be. Otherwise, in five or six years, Nuo’er could probably bring her home as his wife.”
Hearing this, Ye Xingtian was completely speechless.
How old was that boy, Ye Nuo? And Father is already getting anxious about his wedding? Also, this girl seems to be older than Nuo’er by ten years. To wait for another five to six years for him? How can this be?
But, the strangest thing of all to Ye Xingtian was the fact that his father, who had always been proud and arrogant and rarely placed youngsters in his worldview, would actually consider sending his own grandson off.
Just where did this girl come from?
“Father, who is this young lady? Why are you…”
After a bit of thought, Ye Xingtian managed to figure out the answer to his question.
