96 Promise? Why Did You Save Me? (1/2)

Ye Xiao rejoiced in his mind, [Thank god that I acted so well. Even if the dead Purple Lotus Master was alive, he would have failed to make a purple lotus that was better than mine...

Otherwise, I would surely be exposed, wouldn't I?]

Ye Xiao realized that things were going in an unpredictable and strange direction ever since he had shown the purple lotus...

Xiu-Er was visibly more cautious, and she asked in a low voice, ”I didn't know who you were... It was said that you were hunted by the peerless Xiao Monarch in the Qing-Yun Realm. After that, no one has ever heard about you... We all thought that you were...”

Ye Xiao shook his head slowly and showed hatred on his face. He said, ”The Xiao Monarch is indeed the most terrifying person in the Qing-Yun Realm. I am clearly not a match for him. In fact, if he hadn't kept hunting me like a mad dog, how would I end up in this realm... Oh.”

While he was making up a story, his pulse quickened.

[She actually knows that I hunted the Purple Lotus Master?

That is weird!

Who is this Xiu-Er? And the master behind her? Where are they from?

How come I have never heard of them?

There are not many people who know what happened... Anyone who knows is a great figure in the world... But I don't have any memories about Master Bai of the House of Chaotic Storm. Why...

That is... extremely weird!

Unbelievable!

And the way she talked to me doesn't seem fearful or respectful.

Apparently, she is not afraid of the Purple Lotus Master!

Why is that? Even in the Qing-Yun Realm, there will be no more than 200 people who would dare to talk to the Purple Lotus Master like that. I don't think there is a man named Bai among those 200 people.

She is just a maid, yet she doesn't fear the Purple Lotus Master...]

Ye Xiao was shocked, [This will surely lead to complications later on!]

Xiu-Er had, by now, confirmed that he was the Purple Lotus Master.

After all, she had the same thought process as Ye Xiao, [In the mortal world, there are only the master, Wan-Er and me who know about the Purple Lotus Master!

It is impossible for other people to know about it.

And no one can speak out the pet phrase used by the Purple Lotus Master.]

She then smiled and said, ”It is my pleasure to meet you in person. I have some good news for you... Your enemy, the Xiao Monarch was hunted down by the three factions three months ago. He was eventually slaughtered!”

”What the hell!”

The rough words escaped Ye Xiao's lips.

He wasn't pretending this time. He was truly astonished!

[Why does this girl know everything?

She actually knows that I got killed?

What the hell is going on?!

Is there a communicating channel connecting the Qing-Yun Realm and the mortal world?

That... That is too unbelievable!]

”It is true!” Xiu-Er thought that he was shocked by the news itself, so she nodded and said.

For Xiu-Er, it was reasonable for the Purple Lotus Master to be surprised. The Xiao Monarch was arrogant and peerless. It was only natural that such an invincible figure wouldn't be killed so easily!

Xiu-Er herself didn't believe it before she confirmed the news three times!

”The Xiao Monarch... He... He actually died...” Ye Xiao showed a strange expression. It was like mourning, and also like regret, or a bit like hatred, but it was mostly an indescribable blankness...

Such expression was exactly what the Purple Lotus Master would have shown if he was alive and had heard the news.

Xiu-Er looked at him and was now certain that it was the Purple Lotus Master who was actually standing before her.

”He actually died... Heh, heh, heh...” Ye Xiao laughed in a sad way and spoke, ”How come he died so soon?”

In Xiu-Er's mind, it was naturally translated into ”how can he die so soon before I can get my revenge and kill him myself...”.
