As expected
Another thunderstorm. Bai Yu remembered that the last thunderstorm was a month ago, when he had just returned from Jiangzhou. At this moment, he was sitting in his palace, casually admiring the scenery outside.
Even in the unlit main hall, Bai Yu's luxurious dark blue silk robes shone. The wind constantly blew in from outside, and the gold ornaments on his body clinked together, making a crisp sound. Bai Yu was like a wild beast lurking in a dark cave, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared before his eyes. Someone lit a lamp, and the firelight reflected on Bai Yu's face, outlining the fine wrinkles and superior bone structure with unique shadows, like a painting.
"Leader, please have some fruit," a maid said, bringing over an exquisitely arranged fruit platter. "You haven't had a rest in a long time."
“You’re getting bolder and bolder.” Bai Yu didn’t turn around. The firelight inside the hall made the scenery outside seem even darker. “You were so scared of me before that you didn’t dare to move, but now you dare to sneak into my hall.”
The maid still held the plate of fruit in her hands: "Fen'er really can't bear to see the Alliance Leader working day and night, so even if the Alliance Leader is angry and wants to punish Fen'er, please eat some."
Bai Yu finally turned his head and looked at Fen'er. He reached out and lifted her chin, and by the dim firelight, he saw the flower decoration on her forehead: "She is indeed very beautiful." Then, he picked up a grape from the plate and brought it to Fen'er's lips.
"Alliance Leader!" The sudden voice startled Fen'er, who immediately tried to lower her head, but Bai Yu's hand was still there, holding her face up. Bai Yu only glanced at her and asked, "What is it?"
The newcomer was none other than the Qin Envoy. Upon seeing this scene, he subconsciously lowered his head and quickly stepped forward: "Alliance Leader, there is a letter for you."
Bai Yu then released Fen'er and immediately took the letter from the zither maker. Upon opening it, he unsurprisingly saw Ji Yinglei's handwriting: "Jiuxiao has been captured and is returning to Hangzhou."
These eight words caused Bai Yu's expression to falter for a moment. He hadn't expected Jiang Yingyue to actually be able to obtain the Nine Heavens. Even the Sun Peak Mountain, which was whipped by demonic winds, couldn't take her life. Bai Yu even laughed out loud: "Alright, I'll wait for them. Since they're coming back, I'll definitely give them a proper welcome."
Inside Tingyu Tower, Jiang Shiyi was also gazing into the distance from the top floor, lost in thought. He could know Jiang Yingyue's situation with just a thought, but he didn't look. He always believed that these girls would succeed.
Jiang Shiyi's thoughts returned to the time when Jiang Yingyue gave her her soul. At that time, she did not know what answer she would face until she heard Ji Yinglei's name.
The girl's face froze, because that was the only person she hadn't suspected, and Jiang Shiyi didn't mention even one more person's name, which undoubtedly told her: it was all Ji Yinglei, and she was the only one involved.
Jiang Yingyue certainly wouldn't believe this answer at first, but Tingyulou could only tell the truth. She didn't know what to do either. Before she could even speak, a violent impact interrupted everything, and all Jiang Shiyi could do was cover their escape.
Suddenly, a series of chaotic footsteps came from not far away. Jiang Shiyi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ye Xiuzhu leading a large group of people toward the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
It seems he was right; Jiang Yingyue and the others succeeded. Otherwise, Bai Yu wouldn't be so nervous. That would mean that when they return, they will be met with a bloodbath.
