2610 Leaving 4 (2/2)
”Ming Die, I am no longer your master. You need not follow me around anymore.” Yun Yanli had to make it clear to her once and for all. Unfortunately for her, he was never attracted to the young palace master. She was merely a tool in his plan.
She had always been a loyal companion to him. As time went by, their friendship was slowly built. But friendship was all that he had for her. Moreover, he had failed his mission and no longer had the desire to conquer the world. Hence, he could not fulfill his promise to make her the future Celestial Concubine. It would be better to set her free, he thought.
The young palace master's face grew pale. She knew how serious Yun Yanli was whenever he made a statement. Although she was unhappy with his decision, she did not refute it. Helplessly, she watched as Yun Yanli performed a spell and opened up a passage to heaven. Slowly, his figure faded in the light until he finally disappeared entirely. The young palace master simply looked down in disappointment with her fists clenched.
”Don't you want to follow them?” Feng Ruhuo approached her and asked.
”He did not let me.”
”Silly, how can you give up just because of what he said? This is not the right way to pursue a man. You need to pursue the man tirelessly. It is easy for a woman to attract the heart of a man.” Feng Ruhuo said in a comforting manner while playing the role of an elder sister.
”But…”
”No buts! I just need to know if you want to go after him or not!”
”I want to, but I do not have enough power to open up the passage.”
”It does not matter, as long as you know the way, we can do the rest,” Feng Ruhuo continued to persuade her.
”Hmm... It seems that you are the one who wants to go along!” The young palace master finally realized her intention.
”Smart! We are not doing it solely for you. So, are you in?”
The young palace master took some time to think about the proposition. ”Yes!” She finally said.
Feng Ruhuo was happy with her answer. ”Great! We'd better start now. Let's begin.”
The young palace master shook her head. ”Not now, we need some specific things to activate the passage. I need to collect the materials. Meet me here in ten days.”
As long as they were able to leave the place, the guardians were willing to see out the ten days.
