Chapter 442: Kowtow (1/2)
Jin Rou's eyes widened a bit in this little surprise. He didn't feel her presence until she spoke. Was it some kind of heaven-defying concealment? Or perhaps she was helped by that law in the other place?
He was supposed to leave now. But judging by this situation, he might stay for a little longer.
The princess was also surprised to see this woman out here. How did she manage to reach this place? But she also concluded the same thing as Jin Rou.
But what was more of a surprise for her, was that the mysterious master of the Ice Queen was actually this old woman who called herself Xuyi. Now, things were getting interesting as fate was playing with them.
”Ziyan, what are you doing here?” The master didn't expect that she would see her disciple her in Raisla. After all, the item she was looking for was not here, ”You should be talking to the universal law, yet you still have time to visit this place.”
”Master... That's not the case.” Xue Ziyan acted timidly as if she was a little girl, ”I am here... because I want to talk to that young master.”
”Oh, are you talking about Young Master Jin?” Master Xuyi's interest was piqued, ”Why would you seek for the Young Master? Is there something you need from him?”
Before Xue Ziyan could answer, Jin Rou immediately intervened and said, ”Of course, there is. After all, I have the Elementus she is looking for.”
Jin Rou didn't beat around the bush and clearly said what should be said.
This directness was uncalled and Master Xuyi was stumped. She looked at her disciple Xue Ziyan and asked, ”Is that true?”
Xue Ziyan nodded weakly. That confirmed the thing. Thus, a question was now clearly answered.
The master looked at her disciple with discerning eyes as if she was studying her. Those stare made Xue Ziyan uncomfortable and felt she wanted to bury herself to the ground.
After a few minutes, Master Xuyi asked her disciple with a flat tone, ”You offended the Young Master, didn't you?”
It was like a thunder strucking Xue Ziyan as her body greatly stiffened. Just by this reaction, the master had already had her answer and couldn't help but sigh and massage her temples.
”I told you to choose those who you offend wisely, Xue Ziyan.” The master looked at her disciple with a large hint of disappointment, ”I told you that not just the Prime Empire you can't afford to offend. There are many masters out there that you couldn't too! With your current power, you are just one of the many small fishes in the sea. You don't know who are the sharks yet.”
Xue Ziyan just listened to her master's scolding. She was in the wrong this time, indeed. She misjudged and miscalculated leading into this kind of situation. She even lost her right hand man because of this foolishness. And now, even the most important item she needed was gone by the drain.
