138 The Heavenly Mystery! (1/2)

Wan-Er was a bit depressed as she sullenly lowered her head.

[Master is a good guy. He is smart, well-educated, but why is he… so dull about human kindness? Many years have passed, yet he actually never…]

Master Bai stayed silent for a while and said, “Su Dingguo is about to leave. Look at his army. He is indeed an excellent general.”

Wan-Er said, “The army is in great prosperity. He is indeed an outstanding War God. The king of the Kingdom of Chen is a wise king. Kingdom of Chen is at the summit of its power. I think it is going to be much more difficult than last time if you want to overturn it again.”

Master Bai thought for a while and spoke gently, “All my opponents before were in the summit of their power…”

Wan-Er sighed and spoke in a low voice, “If we didn’t get involved, Su Dingguo will surely win the battle as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.”

Master Bai smiled coldly and spoke blandly, “Is it all well arranged?”

“All done. Please don’t worry.” Wan-Er answered gently.

Master Bai nodded and stayed quiet.

“That guy, Red in the Sky… Is he still missing?” He frowned and spoke blandly, “He shouldn’t have just died like this in the Land of Han-Yang with his outstanding cultivation capability…”

Wan-Er nodded, “I have a feeling that he is purposely hiding from us. Maybe there is something wrong that he is forced to stay away from our sights. I am checking on it though.”

“If he is here… Things will be much easier.” Master Bai’s eyes flashed with blood color and he said blandly, “I have this feeling that I am being betrayed…”

Wan-Er was shocked.

She knew that her master never felt wrong.

So the guy, Red in the Sky, had betrayed them?

“Hmm. Tell me everything about Ye Xiao.” Master Bai said blandly, “I want to hear it. I don’t want to miss anything.”

“Ye Xiao?” Wan-Er was surprised.

[I have just finished telling everything about Ye Xiao. Why does he still want to hear it again? Besides the war in the south, things about the Red in the Sky were all big issues. Why is he so focused on Ye Xiao?

Is Ye Xiao more important than the war or Red in the Sky to him?]

“Oh. I mean Ye Xiao the Xiao Monarch.”

Master Bai spoke gently while his fingers kept flicking on his leg.

Wan-Er took a tumble immediately and said, “Yes.” She felt that her master was talking about the Ye Xiao in the capital though.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t suddenly want to hear the story about the Xiao Monarch.

She knew her feeling was right.

The foppish young lad had an important place in her master’s heart.

But why?

Wan-Er looked at Master Bai with confusion.

Master Bai clapped his knee and said with concern, “I always feel… that this foppish lad Ye Xiao is weird… That Xiao Monarch died in a strange situation. In fact, I reckon there may be connections between these two ‘Ye Xiao’. Could they be…”

Wan-Er said, “I am not judging your opinion, but the Xiao Monarch was hunted by the three factions. Under that circumstance, his soul could never have a chance to get away. You have thought about this endless times. I don’t think we need to do it again…”

Master Bai spoke gently, “Heh, heh. I am doing it again. I just can’t be sure about it, especially after meeting with this Ye Xiao…”

Suddenly, a cyan light flashed in his eyes. He spoke softly, “The Ye Xiao in the General’s House is cultivating martial arts with cold attribute… That is apparently rather different from the Xiao Monarch. If he was the Xiao Monarch, he would have that ‘thing’, and he should have a warm breath.”

Wan-Er nodded.

In fact, she was confused. [Master is always decisive. Why does he kept sticking on this subject? This Ye Xiao is a completely different person from the Xiao Monarch. There are countless people who coincidently have the same names…

It is not a wise thing to care so much about it though.]

“It has taken nine times of reformation, nine times of recast, nine times of chaotic storms, nine times of escaping from death, nine billion men’s soul as oblation for the Heavenly Mystery to come to the world… Yet it just disappeared right at the moment it came to the world…”

Master Bai frowned. His face turned pale and he murmured, “I have spent so much on this. Yet look what I get. How can I accept this?”

Wan-Er got serious too.
