1617 Three Months (1/2)

After Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang left the palace, they called Chen Xiaobei before soon arriving at the restaurant.

”Come, come! Sit down and rest for a bit! Let me pour you some tea!”

Chen Xiaobei could barely wait any longer, asking as he poured each of them a cup of tea. ”Is it a boy or a girl? How many months has it been?”

”Big Bro Chen! Stop asking questions! Can't you see that sifu is very sad?” Linghu Shuang said.

”What happened?” Chen Xiaobei looked at Bai Linsu. He had noticed her red-rimmed eyes – it was apparent that she had just cried her eyes out.

”It's nothing.” Bai Linsu shook her head miserably, looking very pale and downcast. ”I'll rest for a while and then I'll be leaving!”

At most times, weariness of the heart was far more agonizing than the weariness of the physical body.

”Alright, you rest.” Chen Xiaobei's brows furrowed. He had been waiting the whole day but he did not get any answers. He felt as if there was any army of ants crawling in his heart – an itch that could not be scratched.

”Shuang'er!” Chen Xiaobei signalled with his finger for Linghu Shuang to come to him. ”Did you both enter the palace? Did you see the Empress?”

”We did go in but only sifu met the Empress. I was not allowed to go in!” Linghu Shuang said in a hushed voice.

”Only your sifu saw her?” Chen Xiaobei was suddenly nervous. ”Has something happened to the child? Why is your sifu so upset?”

”I'm not sure. I asked her a couple of times just now, but she refused to talk about it.” Linghu Shuang frowned, her eyes filled with worry.

”Hmm…” Chen Xiaobei was growing anxious. The information did not matter anymore, what was more important was for the child to be fine!

Chen Xiaobei looked at Bai Linsu. ”Sister Bai”, but she did not respond. She was looking out the window, a forlorn look in her eyes. She probably would not answer him even if he asked again.

Chen Xiaobei was on full panic mode.

Although it was uncertain if the Empress' baby was Little Fox, it was definitely a possibility at the moment.

What if something bad did happen to the child?!

”No, I have to do something about it!”

Chen Xiaobei took out his phone, opened the Three Realms Red Envelope group, and scrolled until he found Lady Nuwo's name.

Chen Xiaobei: I, Chen Xiaobei am here to greet Lady Nuwo! Please give me the exact information on where to find the reincarnated Daji!

The Calamity was just around the corner, and Ancestral Lord Hong Diao had invited six Saints from the heavenly realm for a lecture. Both the Prime of Tongtian and Lady Nuwo were involved.

If he was not really anxious, Chen Xiaobei would not have interrupted her by messaging her directly.

Luckily, Lady Nuwo had some free time to reply him.

Lady Nuwo: Daji is my disciple. You have been so dedicated to her, worrying about her safety – this proves that you are a good man! I will help reacquaint the both of you. To no avail, the number of days are unclear, and its fate uncertain. If I get involved, I'm afraid that I might distort your destiny and ruin everything!

Chen Xiaobei: I don't need you to get involved. I just want to know if there's any clue as to where she is, and if she's alright.

Lady Nuwo: She's fine at the moment!

Chen Xiaobei: At the moment? Are you saying that she would be in danger the next time?

Lady Nuwo: It's still unclear and I can't predict the exact situation! As for the danger, Calamity is coming soon and all living beings are in danger. Who would be so lucky to escape?

Chen Xiaobei: Please tell me. Lady Nuwo, where is she? I have to find her and protect her!

Lady Nuwo: It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that the time has not yet come. If I tell you now, it will only cause you to change your fate!
