Chapter 1289 “One Year Later (3)”
Without exception, everyone made a shudder upon bringing back up that memory from way back. How could they forget that scene? It’s was unbelievable, watching that single person charge in an army of tens of thousands and then destroying them all for the sake of a single woman. Not even they themselves could stand in the way of that harbinger of destruction.
For a while, silence hangs in the air of this great hall.
“I understand what everyone is thinking right now, but let’s not forget Di Cang still has the Demon Realm to rule. He may not care about himself, but I doubt he will ignore the survival of his citizens.” Keeper Zun finally spoke up after seeing the low morale of his brethren.
Sneering in his voice yet again, Keeper Ling points out the flaw in that logic: “And how can you be certain he will forsake his own daughter for the wellbeing of the Demon Realm? Di Cang is a madman that can give up his own life for a single woman, what makes you think he won’t do it again?”
It’s undeniable that of all the realms known to them, the Celestial Realm was among the strongest. But for Bai Yan alone, Di Cang would wage war against them and nearly succeeded back then! Such a crazy nutcase, who could say for certain they are able to predict his actions?
“If it really doesn’t work then we can use some other method to persuade him. That wife of his is also an alchemist, I’m sure we can force her in some way to help Ruo Xi to recover.” Another Keeper suggests after listening to the two arguing.
Putting on a pitiful and teary face after seeing how they’re all pushing herself into the matter, Yun Ruo Xi really didn’t want to do this: “Revered Keepers, I am ashamed of making you all expend so much effort on myself. Please, just let me be like this for the rest of my life, I don’t want to drag you all down with me.”
No shit she doesn’t want to recover. If he does then wouldn’t that mean she be pushed into the frontlines? That would be catastrophic! Besides, she knows her own talent better than anyone else. What savior of this world? Even back in her prime, she could barely keep up with Bai Yan’s growth, and that was thanks to all the treasures and amazing alchemic ingredients given to her by Bai Yan in secret!
Yun Ruo Xi may believe she’s thought up a good excuse on the issue, but that’s not what these elders are thinking. Immediately, a set of dissatisfied frowns filled their faces.
“You don’t have to think about it so much Rou Xi, we’re only here to inform you of what we are going to do. For the sake of this world, for the sake of repelling the impending calamity, we will do everything in our powers to help you recover!”
That was equivalent to a death sentence for the lady. Her heart felt endless horror until she couldn’t properly utter another word.
“Go ahead and rest first Ruo Xi,” Keeper Ling continues with a smile, “and if you protect the world from that calamity, I’m sure the Lord will also be grateful towards you. By then wouldn’t it be easy to convince him to marry you?”
