Chapter 138: Rest

Zhao Xing’s current expression wasn’t just ugly–it was extremely hideous

In contrast to the house of Ye, the halls of the house of Zhao was far uely, two shadows could be seen seated within the halls; it was the head of the Zhao, Zhao Xing and attendant Li Chen fro School

Fro tea cup after cup as they waited for theirand the Quickshade Bird But the group never returned Zhao Xing had been besides himself and continued to look outside the area every so often in anxiety Li Chen hier calm himself and looked as if the expression on his face had hardened Even as he stroked the three-tailed cat, the speed in which he was doing so was noticeably faster than before as if expressing the irritation in his mind

”Attendant Li, it’s been…long enough nohy have they not returned yet? Perhaps so has happened? Perhaps the Ye has already done soer and looked to Li Chen as he asked

”What are you panicking about? They could already be on the road back now You are the head of the household and yet you have no patience at all Pah! Your family is beyond help…” Li Chen spoke with discontent when he glanced over at him But even with that, one could tell that his expression on his face was not as calm as before

Zhao Xing’s face had flushed with anger, but he had ue in cheek and stared silently at the entrance to the hall

Then–the sounds of footsteps could be heard approaching the halls, causing Zhao Xing’s face to brighten up However, when he saw that the faces of these newcomers were not at all the same ones of the people ere dispatched earlier, a look of worry crossed his face again Before they could even bow to hi had asked in a hurry, ”Well? Did you find caretaker Zhao and the others?”

”My lord, we have cons of a skirmish can be seen on the outskirts of the city near the hills, but no traces of caretaker Zhao can be seen Furthermore…we have lost contact with the people meant to observe them in secret Their whereabouts are currently unknown…”

The ones giving the report had left the halls shortly after reporting in, allowing Zhao Xing to collapse onto his chair with a dazed look If it were only just Zhao Chuan that was , that could be because he was still in hot pursuit of Ye Tianone as well, then it could onlymust have happened to them all… ”But, but how could that be…? Our intelligence said that only two other youths were traveling with Ye Tian after Zhao Chuan left, h ti could happen So just why…”

The et Since everyone else aside fro was just opening his ave a sht arm out, a small dark shadow suddenly shot forth fro the shadow to be a small black rat

The rat had looked at Li Chen with its s out two e to a stop in his hand

The expression on Li Chen’s face had ihtly look Even his body was starting to twitch slightly–he had sent this small rat out to trail behind Wu Sen earlier As a soulbeast, it ithouta detailed report of what happened, but a vague description could still be gained from it Wu Sen and the others had been killed

”Lord Zhao, I believe that our plans will have to be changed…”

And noe return to a luxurious guest room within the northern courtyard of the house of Ye

From ontop of his spacious and soft bed, Bai Yunfei could be seen staring at the rings in front of him orry

These special rings were the space rings specifically worn by the people fro had appropriated the ones that Fang Hao and Tai Ping had worn, saying that it was his ‘spoils of war’ These rings in particular were modified so that they could only carry around the soulbeast puppets, so they were useless to Jing Mingfeng and were thus given to Bai Yunfei to keep

”If brother Hong Yin was here, I could these to hiht now…I’ll have to carry it in the h, I can’t store the I have to carry theh, if only there was sos too…”

Shaking his head, Bai Yunfei had then placed all of the rings within an e on his own ‘spoils of war’: Several ordinary space rings, the Heart Protecting Mirror with a big and srade equipment: the watermelon slice-shaped short blade, and the other incomplete soul items and currency

”How unfortunate that golden shi+eld was destroyed That was probably a h…”

Classifying the ite aithout bothering to upgrade the down to cultivate, he had instead laid back onto his bed with both hands cradling his head so he could rest and think of what to do in the future
