Chapter 1778 - “The Cure (3)” (2/2)

Frowning in his old face: “First Elder? How can that old guy help us? He’s stubborn and a one-sided rock, how can we get him to listen?”

Ji Sky was known to be upright and loyal to the monarch. Unless the matter threatens Heavenly himself, it’s absolutely impossible to make that old fella to move on their behalf.

Gu Ya smiled with her teeth’s showing at the reasonable doubt from her elder: “Did you forget he has a weakness? We can use Ji Song for our goals! According to the spies we have inside the manor, the first elder is currently searching everywhere for a Soul Fruit at the bequest of that sickly lass. As it so happens, I happen to have one in my possession. Once I hand it over, he will answer one of my requests.”

Gu Lao almost gasped at the news. Going quiet for a brief moment, his old voice sounded hoarse and excited: “Then I won’t move against those two as you wish Milady. But if this plan fails, I will make sure that pair pay for getting in your way, no one can take what’s yours away.”

This would be the last concession. If the plan blunders like before, he would begin his plot of murdering those two, that’s his desire and conviction.

For some reason, Gu Ya did not object to the last bit from the old senior despite her constant preaching of not using murder to get her ways. Perhaps its impatient at the repeated failure? Or perhaps she’s just that confident? Regardless, one thing’s certain, she’s afraid of Bai Yan meeting Heavenly in person. The woman here knows herself better than anyone, her charms are nowhere up to par of the demon queen!

Inside the Monarch Manor, elder council’s residence.

Ji Sky sat quietly on his master chair with a face that could strangle those beneath himself.

“These useless things, it’s already been several days, why haven’t they found the Soul Fruit yet? If this causes my granddaughter to be unhappy then they can’t blame me for taking drastic measures!”
