500 Homesickness 3 (1/2)

The Duke and His Highness might not have shown their grief, but Long Qi who knew the two men from the Jun Family very well knew that they missed Jun Wu Xie terribly.

”Not for now.” Jun Wu Xie shook her head.

Long Qi opened his mouth as if to say something but decided to remain silent in the end.

Qiao Chu, Hua Yao and the rest looked at Jun Wu Xie silently, theirs hearts going out for Jun Wu Xie.

Long Qi and his men did not know the reason why Jun Wu Xie was refusing to return home.

But Jun Wu Xie's comrades knew the reason very well. It was because of the Snow Lotus within her. She could be found out by the Twelve Palaces anytime and once that happened, the nightmare would begin.

The rarity of a plant type ring spirit was reason enough to alarm the monstrous entities from the Twelve Palaces. And once they moved to descend onto the Lower Realm to seize it, Jun Wu Xie would not stand a chance to be able to live through it, even with the protection of the powerful Rui Lin Army. The Twelve Palaces would completely exterminate Jun Wu Xie, her family members, and the whole Rui Lin Army.

Having personally experienced the merciless cruelty of the Twelve Palaces, Qiao Chu and the others did not believe for a moment that the Twelve Palaces would show any mercy.

Jun Wu Xie's choice, was made with an intention to protect the Lin Palace and the Rui Lin Army from harm.

”Alright, we should start moving. Aren't we supposed to look for Aqua Spirit Grass? Let's hurry before that fumbling Spirit Beast decides to come back here.” Qiao Chu could not bear to see Jun Wu Xie's sad eyes any longer and he bolstered himself and tried to disperse the gloomy atmosphere with a laugh.

”Let's go.” Long Qi realised that the words he had said might bring some measure of discomfort to Jun Wu Xie and he agreed to Qiao Chu's suggestions quickly.
