"Well, it's settled then. Sisi will go first. Fairy sister, you can't sneak away, okay?"
Sisi watched Sibei Taohua with bated breath, fearing that Sibei Taohua might secretly fly back to the Heavenly Palace while he was squatting in the toilet.
"rest assured."
Si Beitao held up a peach-colored umbrella, her excessively beautiful face smiling, her soft voice deliberately lowered, making it even more androgynous.
"Okay, Sisi, fly very fast, don't fly away!"
Not entirely at ease, Sisi gave him another word of advice. Seeing Sibei Taohua nod, she then took off running quickly towards the outhouse.
The moment the little girl stepped inside, Si Beitao narrowed her fox-like eyes, touched the ground with her toes, and vanished in an instant.
The guards who had come in to investigate, noticing something amiss, appeared where Si Beitao had just been standing, their positions concealed by a black cloth.
A pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes carefully searched the surroundings, not missing the slightest suspicious trace.
My ears twitched slightly as I repeatedly confirmed that only a faint sound was coming from the small outhouse.
Only after feeling relieved did he linger for a while before turning around and disappearing into the shadows once more.
Beneath the swaying shadows of the trees, Si Beitaohua, holding a peach-colored umbrella, watched the departing guards with narrowed, fox-like eyes, her gaze unfathomable.
"Emperor's Shadow".
Her long, slender, fair fingers gently caressed the lines of words engraved on the peach-shaped umbrella, and she uttered two words in a soft, feminine voice.
I had heard of the existence of the Northern Yin Emperor's shadow by chance a few years ago, and that's why I could be certain of it at a glance.
It was because his lightness skill had reached a superb level, and few in the world could detect his presence. The only person who could detect him so quickly was probably Emperor Shadow.
Helian Nie truly valued Yun'er's child. If that's the case, then why was he so heartless as to force Yun'er to her death back then?
Thinking of Wen Changle's words, Si Beitao's eyes were filled with gloom, and the veins on her hand gripping the peach umbrella bulged with anger, pain, and regret.
She wasn't anyone special; he knew perfectly well how much of Wen Changle's words were true or false. What angered him was...
If Helian Nie doesn't care about Yun'er at all, why did he bring her into the harem? And if he did, why doesn't he treat her well?
Even if they had no marital affection, at least Yun'er carried Helian Nie's child for ten months and gave birth to his child.
Shouldn't we, out of consideration for these relationships, protect Yun'er's safety in the harem?
Why, why did the woman he had searched so desperately for, the woman he held so dear in his heart, become so insignificant in Helian Nie's hands?
Thinking of that gentle woman in my memory, every smile and frown is still fresh in my mind. Now, she is buried under the cold yellow earth, separated from me by life and death!
His cloud!
Driven by her anger, Si Bei Tao Hua couldn't contain her emotions. Meanwhile, Di Ying, hidden in the shadows, possessed extraordinary senses.
Emerging silently from the shadows, they approached Si Bei Tao Hua's location step by step.
Having roamed the martial world for years, how could Si Beitao be dulled by danger? She snapped out of her painful memories...
His brows furrowed, and his gaze fell on the small outhouse with its tightly closed wooden door. It seemed he would have to break his promise today.
The peach-colored umbrella spun, and a sharp blade gleaming with cold light flew towards the approaching imperial figure. The tree branches swayed gently, and the hem of the peach-pink robe vanished in an instant.
Di Ying dodged the flying blades without giving chase, but his hawk-like eyes remained fixed on the direction Si Beitaohua had left, their gazes eerie and unsettling.
