Chapter 1838 - “Sinner (1)” (1/2)

“Monarch!” A sound of joy came from the front then that caused everyone to look over to the source.

Heavenly wrinkled his brow as he did so because he recognized that voice. Sure enough, it’s a familiar face of a woman whom he didn’t like that caused him to make a annoyed face.

Gu Ya did not notice the strange atmosphere around that has gotten very cold and continued to show excitement in those eyes.

Just now…… she was going out to look for Gu Lao but stopped after she got wind of the monarch’s return. Without caring for anything else, she hurried back and thus created this scene.

Tender and graceful in her face: “Monarch, I’m so glad you are safe….”

Heavenly’s sight locked onto Gu Ya, but instead of returning that warmth with his own, he only had cold sharpness.

Going rigid at that intense glare, Gu Ya did not know how to read this: “Monarch…. Why are you looking at me with such eyes?”

She has known the man for many years. Strong, handsome, and at the same time indifferent to those close to himself. However, she’s never been the subject of such glares before. It’s making her heart quiver due to the unknown.

“Gu Ya, you know better than anyone on what you’ve done, why do you need me to remind you?” Heavenly spoke with such indifference that it hurts the recipient like he’s cutting her soul with a blade.

“What do you mean by that Monarch?” Gu Ya’s complexion got ghostly white, her lips a thin line: “Everything I’ve done is for your sake and only for you. I would never think of being a burden for you.”

In her mind, the invaders are of no consequence as long as Heavenly returns, thus removing her of any sin she’s committed.
