Chapter 231 Who is Ai Ye?
"Sister Bai Li." Xiao Bai's voice trembled slightly as he stirred the crystal chalcedony soup in the bowl.
As the days passed, Xiaobai felt more and more that something was wrong.
Especially the chief divine servant beside Sister Baili, a woman named Qingwu.
The way Sister Qingwu looked at her was always with a kind of scrutiny, and also a kind of indescribable inquiry that made her shudder.
Occasionally, she would hear some of the gods' servants whispering in very low voices.
"Don't you feel that ever since the little prince (they privately call Xiaobai) came, every night, the spiritual energy around the Shuyu Palace has been pouring in like crazy?"
"But when we checked the next day, the little prince's body was still empty, without even a trace of spiritual energy. How strange."
"Hush, Her Highness the Goddess does not allow us to discuss."
Xiaobai felt like a rare toy under a magnifying glass, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Finally, when she was once again tortured by the "aftereffects" and could not sleep well, and was forcing herself to accompany Bai Li for breakfast, an uninvited guest broke the tranquility of Li Guang Realm.
"Oh, Sister Baili's place is really quiet and elegant, unlike my Chixia Palace, which is always in chaos and there is no peace."
A slightly sharp yet coquettish female voice came.
Before anyone arrived, a strong, pungent fragrance entered my nose.
Xiaobai looked up and saw a woman in a palace dress as bright red as flames, with her rings and bracelets jingling. She was walking towards him slowly, surrounded by a group of divine servants, with a hint of deliberate arrogance between her eyebrows.
"Sister Chixia." Bai Li put down the jade chopsticks, her voice still gentle, but with a hint of alienation.
Fairy Chixia's gaze moved to Bai Li, and then fell directly on Xiaobai as if she had discovered a new continent.
"Tsk tsk, is this the child my sister 'picked up' from outside a few days ago?"
Her tone was frivolous, and she looked at him with an undisguised scrutiny, as if she was evaluating a piece of merchandise.
"My sister is really kind-hearted. The God Realm is in turmoil right now. Who dares to bring any cat or dog into the God Realm?"
Fairy Chixia smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, and said something with a hidden meaning: "I heard that recently, there has been a lot of resentment in the places where the lower realms meet, and even our divine realm is a little unstable."
"I see that there is a bit of... well, an indescribable bad luck between the child's eyebrows. Sister, you must be careful and don't let the wolf into the house and add fuel to the fire of this already unstable situation."
Xiaobai's face turned pale instantly, and his little hands tightly grasped Bai Li's sleeves.
These words were clearly directed at her.
The originally gentle eyes of the goddess Baili suddenly turned cold, and an invisible pressure emanated from her.
"Sister Chixia, be careful with your words."
She gently embraced Xiaobai behind her. Although her voice was soft, every word was as clear as ice beads falling to the ground: "Xiaobai is the descendant of my old friend, an orphan of the God Clan, and not a person of unknown origin."
"Her affairs are my business. It is not the turn of outsiders to interfere in my Li Guang Realm's affairs."
Bai Li's tone was calm, but with an air of dominance that did not allow for questioning: "Sister, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I still have to accompany Xiaobai for dinner, so I won't stay any longer."
She paused, her eyes sharp as swords: "The God Realm is in turmoil right now. Instead of wasting time here catching wind and shadows, it is better to go back and practice well, and think more about how to deal with the upcoming changes, so as not to be in danger when the time comes."
Fairy Chixia was choked by these words and her face turned pale and blue, as if she had been slapped in public and it was burning with pain.
She didn't expect that Bai Li, who was always gentle and reclusive, would be so tough.
"Good, what an orphan of the God Clan." Fairy Chixia laughed out of anger, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison as she stared at Xiaobai.
"Bai Li, can you protect someone for a while, but can you protect him for a lifetime? Don't forget, 'that Lord' doesn't like you being too kind."
After saying this, she flicked her sleeves heavily, and left in embarrassment amidst the silent gazes of the gods' servants, filled with anger.
Xiaobai hid behind Baili, his little body trembling slightly.
She could feel that the last words of Fairy Chixia were chilling.
Who is “that adult”?
She didn't understand why Sister Bai Li said that she was an orphan of the gods. She always felt that it was not the case.
After Fairy Chixia walked away, the pressure from Bai Li slowly subsided.
She squatted down and gently stroked Xiaobai's head, her voice returning to its usual gentleness: "Xiaobai, don't be afraid. Chixia...she is not targeting you."
"Then why did she..." Xiaobai looked up in confusion, his big eyes full of confusion and fear.
Bai Li sighed and pulled Xiaobai to sit down on the jade steps beside the lotus pond.
“Chixia is a narrow-minded person, and he has always supported the God of Aiye, and he has always been at odds with me.
Today, I am just using this as an excuse to embarrass me, so please don't take it to heart."
"Lord Aiye?" Xiaobai muttered the name silently.
It was clearly the first time she heard it, but it was like a bolt of lightning tempered with ice, striking into her chaotic sea of consciousness.
An extreme coldness and fear coming from the depths of her soul instantly gripped her.
It was a terrifying pressure that seemed to be able to freeze her soul, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
This name seemed to carry some kind of forbidden magic that made her heart tremble.
Bai Li did not notice Xiao Bai's momentary abnormality and continued, "Now in the God Realm, undercurrents are surging in several major God Realms, and disputes are about to arise. There are also some unknown forces that are ready to make a move, attempting to subvert the existing order."
Her voice carried a hint of fatigue and solemnity that was barely perceptible.
"Although the Liguang Realm is a remote and peaceful place, it is not a true paradise."
She looked at Xiaobai with a complex and gentle look in her eyes: "Xiaobai, you have lost your memory now, and your cultivation is completely wasted. If you stay here, you will only become the target of public criticism.
After some time, I will make all the arrangements and send you to a place that is absolutely safe.
You are still young, and you shouldn't have to bear all these storms."
"No!" Xiao Bai almost blurted out. She held Bai Li's hand tightly and said, "Sister Bai Li, I won't leave. I want to stay with you and stand together with everyone."
Although she had lost her memory, she instinctively did not want to leave this hard-earned warmth.
Bai Li was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Silly child, this is not the responsibility you should bear. Being obedient and living well is the greatest comfort to me."
Her tone was gentle, but it was firm enough to not be refused.
Xiaobai looked at Sister Baili's determined eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
The uneasiness of being monitored and scrutinized, intertwined with the fear brought by the name "Ai Ye" just now, made Xiaobai's small body feel powerless.
She knew that Sister Bai Li was trying to protect her.
But who was that "Sad Night" that made her soul tremble? The immortal servants around her were also trembling.
