27 Chapter 23 : The Hunt 1 (1/2)

Xu Yun switched his gaze from his cup and looked outside through the window.

He saw that outside the window, the sky was still dark, the greenery abundant and the falling flying by like mist. Close by, the bamboo tall houses were lined up in a row, extending far out which the external members of manor make use of. the road was a sea of white as a few patrol walked by immersed in their stories, their feet sunk deep into the snow as they went ahead because of the snowfall. some of them wore grayish coats with a blue Sigil depicting the Xu logo on them, while the other carried Black oiled cloth umbrella clueless about what just transpired in the now fading isolation barrier.

watching all this Xu Yun finally spoke, [Xu yi, This World is like a huge Keyboard. All lifeforms are all key notes, if you want to make beautiful Music you must play the White and the black keys.]

Looking at Xu yi, he noticed the confusion on his face making him sigh.

”Think of it as a zither or better still as a chess board, we have the black and the white pieces in the game. every piece has their own movements, schemes and targets just like Everybody has their own standpoints, desires, and principles. everybody sees what they want to see and though some say they had no choice in the situation they find themselves, we see the situation clearly from the side. Some say Gone with the darkness and embrace the light, moving around their belief that they are in the right while everyone is wrong, Some believe in others without much to spare while some believe Just because they are strong they can trample on the weak forg...]

Xu Yun paused as he thought about his own situation, his heart already clear as the blood red eyes glowed in the dark.

[To the Xu family's head Xu Yunzheng, it is to protect his family's prosperity and benefits as well as upholding Righteousness. He tried to ignore me just to keep trouble away from me for the sake of peace, he will not do anything to confront his brother even if he found out the truth. In fact, he might even compensate me and try to hide the story at all cost.]

[So much for righteousness, to me he is afraid. afraid of his inevitable clash with yunzao, or the idea of blood fighting blood.]

Xu Yun's eyes were clear as he now had an almost perfect grasp and understanding of the whole matter from start till the end. The only thing missing is about who was behind his father's kidnapping as well as the one who spread the rumor of his death despite him being alive and what the Demon side are aiming for.

He already knew his Uncle was the one who put a red marker on him and his father. He also knew it was the serpents who took the job.

Xu Yun stood as he looked at his main body as well as the timer.

- 5 hours 14 minutes.

After a Sigh he said [Xu Yi, Why don't we go Hunt down some snakes before daybreak]

Xu yi was stunned at first as he was confused at the reason his Master would want to hunt snakes when he had just been talking about life, but when he felt the Blood Aura building up around his Master's body, he knew it was not so simple.

[As you will]

Meanwhile, Somewhere in Luoyang at about an hour ago.

In a small wooden inn at the outskirts of Luoyang city, Stood 4 figures looking down at their companion who suddenly stopped their conversation as he excused himself in order to solve a minor issue.

As they watched him control his Fate compass with glowing eyes that was bleeding ever so slightly.

[kikikikiki! to think a Young Daeva would have an eye for the princess's treasure, This is too interesting kikikikiki Hahaha haha I can't wait to AAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!]

if Gong Fuzhi's words were not Shocking enough then the fact that one of his eyes suddenly exploded. The crucial part was that he mentioned a Daeva, The princess's family retainers quickly moved behind him and held him down as he continued to scream while spilling scorching hot blood all over the place, burning holes into the ground.

The Princess had completely frozen as this was the first time she had seen such a thing, Despite the blood burning her Golden hair slowly she still stood there like a sculpture till the black smoke oozing out from her robe snuffed it out.

[Yi er, you should return to the palace if a Daeva has been spotted. with every Daeva there is a Great Aeshma around the corner]

The elderly Voice sounded out from within the robe.

[But Grand Pa, I'm yet to find a fitting gift for father.] Tao Yimu pouted, totally forgetting Gong Fuzhi who was practically screaming his lungs out.
