Chapter 73 Part 2 — (1/2)

”Its nothing, nothing! I just thought that your appearance was too beautiful… beautiful enough to cry.”

At this time, she could not sleep after being aware of Feng Lingran knowing her ident.i.ty. She climbed out of bed, and wore her shoes before saying, ”Yin, I still have to take care of something, thank you for your care tonight.”

”Xi-er…”

Nangong Yin watched as Xiao Xi left, he knitted his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed. Just then, who had entered his room? Otherwise why would Xiao Xi suddenly want to leave.

It was very late when Xiao Xi walked out of the East Palace. After Feng Lingran left the poG.o.da, did he return to his courtyard?

Xiao Xi suddenly saw Zi Yi drifting away in the near distance, and she hurriedly chased, ”Master… wait… wait for me.”

Zi Yi looked back, and replied with a smile, ”Disciple, why are you chasing Master? You shouldn't sleep with Master just because of this appearance!”

Xiao Xi's mouth twitched, ”Master, don't tease me. It wasn't what you think, there's nothing between me and Nangong Yin.

”Tsk tsk… if there isn't then why were you about to kiss? If there is…. Why aren't you rolling on the bed yet?”

Xiao Xi frowned as she bit her lips, irritated she asked, ”Master… Are you still my master?”

”Of course! Master only have you as a disciple ah!”

”Then you can't say that there is something between Nangong Yin and I, ever again! It's just, I don't understand why, but when his face drew near mine… it felt as if his eyes were mysteriously drawing me in, as if my soul was being swallowed by him. I felt trapped and couldn't move.”

”Hahaha… this is easy! You… are just l.u.s.ting after his looks.”

”Master!”

”Okay, Master won't tease you anymore. But Nangong Yin was born to be different. Disciple, if you don't want to get drawn in, it's best to not look at his face anymore -especially his eyes after he takes off the mask.” Zi Yi explained seriously after he finished joking around, ”You don't know the history of Nanling, but because of one incident, Nangong Yin started wearing the jade mask from day to night, never showing his face to people.”

”Ah?” Xiao Xi got very curious. Nanling's history… what actually happened? To force Nangong Yin to do so?

Zi Yi didn't continued to talk about the event, he added ”Disciple, go back to Eastern Jin with Feng Lingran okay? Nanling's Palace is not suitable for you. Forget about Nangong Yin, he may be close to you, but he isn't as simple as he looks.”

Xiao Xi's eyebrows furrowed, suddenly feeling discomfort in her heart, what did Zi Yi's words mean?

”It was me who came with Nangong Yin in order to obtain the Ye Nan Pearl and Huo Yi Gra.s.s. It was also because of him that I acquired the Jin Pill, and turned human.”

Xiao Xi was a grateful person, she didn't want Zi Yi to misunderstand Nangong Yin. Not to mention, there wasn't a single treasure on her body for him to take advantage of. When shefirst came to this world, she was only a lowly fox with no status. If she hadn't been picked up by Feng Lingran, she would've already starved to death.
