Chapter 23 (1/2)

23 – Interlude, Grand Play

The lonely moon quietly hanging in the night sky disseminated chilly moonlight, which outlined the figure of a pure white girl.

Looking at the fox ear girl quietly standing on the edge of the cliff, the Spirit Moon Valley's Elder Bai Youyue eventually couldn't help but to call out: “Great Ancestor…”

“Yes?” The other side asked in reply without turning her head. Her voice was pleasant, lacking any anger.

After hesitating for a ling time, Bai Youyue finally summoned her courage to ask: “We have been standing here for a long time.”

“Have we?”

“Great Ancestor, what are you looking at…” Bai Youyue and her Great Ancestor – the fox ear girl, stood on the peak of a mountain. In the direction they were facing, the Heavenly Sword Manor could be seen in the distance.

However, they were at least five kilometers apart. With her cultivation base, Bai Youyue could only faintly make up the Heavenly Sword Manor's outline.

But this was only true for her. With the cultivation base of her Great Ancestor, she should be able to have a clear view of everything that was taking place in the Heavenly Sword Manor.

Just what is Great Ancestor looking at?

As far as Bai Youyue knew, there were very few things in the world that could pique Great Ancestor's interest. This time, she partic.i.p.ated in the Heavenly Sword Gate's banquet under disguise, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

And now, she even revealed an expression overflowing with interest as she looked at the Heavenly Sword Manor. This was just too outrageous. Bai Youyue has never seen her Great Ancestor show such an expression.

“Are you curious?” There was virtually no fluctuation in her tone. This sentence made Bai Youyue sense an inexplicable pressure.

“This… martial grandniece knows that she's in the wrong.”

Bai Youyue thought that Great Ancestor was rebuking her. But in fact, it didn't seem to be the case.

“Are you afraid of me?” After taunting, the fox ear girl continued with an enigmatic smile, “I'm watching a play, a grand play.”

“… What grand play?”

“… It's a play about the Merak Palace's Young Ancestor being bullied by others.” The fox ear girl spoke in a playful tone.
