630 Sudden Departure (1/2)

At that moment, Jun Wu Yao's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth curled into a devilish smile. In the quiet and tranquil woods, he lifted his head and looked far into the distance.

”They sure are being rather persistent.”

Ye Mei stiffened, suddenly putting up a defensive stance.

Jun Wu Yao turned his gaze back and gave out a low laugh before he said: ”Look like I won't be able to hand the gift over personally to Little Xie this time. Ye Mei.”

”Your subordinate awaits your orders!”

”Find Little Xie an elixir stove. Tell her….. I will return to see her in a few days.”

”Yes, my Lord!” Ye Mei fell back onto one knee, acknowledging the order.

Jun Wu Yao did not say anything else and he suddenly disappeared from where he had been standing.

Ye Mei lifted his head and peered through the thick canopy of leaves above him. He saw several lightning quick flashes of light sweeping past through the sky.

…..

Within the little bamboo grove, Jun Wu Xie was frowning as she stared at Ye Mei, who was kneeling right before her.

”Young Master Wu Yao had some pressing matters to attend to and would temporarily not be able to come see Young Miss. This stove was what Young Master Wu Yao told me to give you Young Miss.” Ye Mei pulled out a small stove from his clothes, the golden stove had a coiled dragon carved on its surface, and it looked extremely intricate and well made.

Jun Wu Xie stared at the stove for a long while and did not say a word. The stifling silence in the room made Ye Mei not dare to move an inch.

”I know now.” After long moments later, Jun Wu Xie finally said.

Ye Mei breathed out slightly in relief. ”Young Master Wu Yao said, after a period, he will come see Young Miss again.”

”You're dismissed.” Jun Wu Xie said coldly.

Ye Mei retreated out of the room silently.
