A man and a beast stood side by side on the ruins of South Gate City. Bathing in the corner of his eyes, his ice-cold and peerlessly beautiful face was like that of an ice sculpture.
Right at that moment, a flickering fire beast fell from the sky, followed by a figure jumping down from the sky. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Ji Wushuang.
"Why are you here?" When Ji Wushuang saw that it was Bai Yuhao, she was slightly surprised. However, she quickly realized that Bai Yuhao had an expression of anger that she had never seen before, as if he had been cheated. This made her feel uneasy.
"You're Mu Yinv's disciple?" Bai Yuhao stared at Ji Wushuang in front of him and asked with a ferocious expression.
Ji Wushuang was stunned by Bai Yuhao's question, because she didn't know where Bai Yuhao found out her true identity. Aside from Liu Cheng and Liu Yunxuan, only her fifth uncle knew that she was Mu Yinv's disciple.
"Fifth Uncle looked for you?" Of course, Ji Wushuang wasn't stupid, she quickly guessed how Bai Yuhao found out. It must be because her fifth uncle asked Bai Yuhao about her, revealing her identity.
"You only have to answer yes or no?" Bai Yuhao asked coldly.
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Ji Wushuang could only silently nod her head.
"I didn't expect you to be Mu Yinv's disciple …" Bai Yuhao suddenly sneered. His laugh was filled with restraint and disappointment.
"I didn't lie to you on purpose, it's just because my master told me not to tell you my identity." Seeing Bai Yuhao's strange expression, Ji Wushuang couldn't help but explain. She thought Bai Yuhao was angry because she was hiding her real identity.
"Of course you wouldn't tell me. "Because your purpose of being by my side should be to monitor me, right?" Bai Yuhao said angrily.
"Surveillance? "Why should I be watching you?" When Ji Wushuang heard Bai Yuhao's unreasonable accusation, she was also stunned and couldn't help but to ask.
"Did your master not tell you that the reason why I fell to the Border of Lianluo was all because of her?" Bai Yuhao was naturally brooding over what had happened that year, because back then, Mu Yinv had sealed his power. At least now, he knew that if Mu Yinv hadn't sealed his power, then he would have long been possessed.
However, the thing that annoyed Bai Yuhao the most was that Mu Yinv actually suggested sending him to an extremely dangerous Border of Lianluo that made him look like shit. Therefore, he didn't understand why Mu Yinv had taken the initiative to add insult to injury. If not for his good luck and the many fortuitous encounters he had in the Border of Lianluo, he might still be a nameless newbie who was fooling around in the army camp right now. Therefore, he had kept it in his heart all along, and had asked Mu Yinv about it in front of him. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance. But now, Mu Yinv had actually sent her disciple to stay by his side, making it even more difficult for him to figure out Mu Yinv's intentions.
When Ji Wushuang heard Bai Yuhao's words, she didn't know what to say because she could tell that Bai Yuhao wasn't lying. Moreover, it also explained why her master wanted her to protect Bai Yuhao but didn't tell him the reason. It was obvious that something happened between Bai Yuhao and her master that she didn't know about, and Bai Yuhao also seemed to have a grudge against her master.
"Bai Yuhao, calm down. Like I said before, my master sent me to protect you. So, I think there's a misunderstanding between you and my master, right?" Ji Wushuang felt stuck in the middle and didn't know what happened between Bai Yuhao and her master, so she was momentarily at a loss.
"Protect me? If she had protected me, she would have tried to have me stay … "It's not about making me lose everything …" Bai Yuhao was furious and said with red eyes.
"My master has her own difficulties." Ji Wushuang said without confidence.
"Don't follow me anymore. Go back and tell your master that I, Bai Yuhao, will return one day. At that time, I will definitely take back everything that belongs to me." With that, Bai Yuhao turned and left, riding Dragon-like up into the sky.
"Bai Yuhao, stop right there …" Ji Wushuang saw Bai Yuhao leave just like that, so she couldn't help but cry out in exasperation. However, Bai Yuhao disappeared into the horizon without even looking back.
"Can't this guy finish what he was saying before leaving?" What happened between him and my master? Why is he so resentful towards his master, and why does my master want me to protect Bai Yuhao … " Ji Wushuang couldn't figure out what was going on, so she raised her eyebrows and looked up at the moon.
After Bai Yuhao finished talking to Ji Wushuang, he aimlessly rode Dragon-like as he wandered in the sky above Yi City, looking down at the scarred Yi City with a myriad of thoughts.
Right at this moment, Bai Yuhao suddenly heard a melodious tune of a zither coming from within the silent Yi City. As a result, he couldn't help but follow the sound and see that the sound was getting clearer and clearer, and a familiar building appeared beneath his feet. On closer inspection, it was actually the sound of a zither coming from the backyard.
"Strange, why would someone still be playing the zither in this Red Phoenix House?" Bai Yuhao was confused, so he let Dragon-like fly to the backyard of Red Phoenix House. When he got off, he saw a delicate figure was sitting in a pavilion not far away from the backyard, bathing in the moonlight with a zither on her legs. She was currently focused on playing a beautiful music.
"Why is it her!" When Bai Yuhao saw the charming figure under the moonlight, he was not only stunned, because the one playing the zither was none other than Luo Xiang.
At this moment, Luo Xiang was still playing the zither as if there was no one around her. The melody was filled with vigor and grief, as if she was playing some sort of lament.
Bai Yuhao did not disturb them, and stayed by Dragon-like's side to listen quietly until the song was over.
After Luo Xiang finished playing the zither, she slowly raised her head and saw a man and a beast in the yard. She was startled at first, but then immediately recognized Bai Yuhao. She called out in surprise, "Young Master Bai, why are you here?"
"So Miss Luo Xiang still remembers me." Bai Yuhao smiled.
"How could I not remember? Young Master Bai is my savior. " After Luo Xiang put down her zither, she walked out of the pavilion with small steps and arrived in front of Bai Yuhao.
"Why is Miss Luo Xiang still in the Red Phoenix House? Don't you know that the Yi City is almost seized by the Woodgod Kingdom?" Bai Yuhao asked Luo Xiang doubtfully.
"Of course I know. However, since I have nowhere else to go after leaving Yi City, I might as well just stay here and leave it to fate." Luo Xiang calmly replied.
