Chapter 903: Chapter 903 Sorry
Seeing Ye You and Qin Sisi leaving, Yun Wang heaved a huge sigh of relief and imdiately summoned the magic to form a pair of translucent wings on his back, preparing to leave with them.
Just as he was about to leap into mid-air, he saw a person still standing under the tree. All the attention had been on Ye You earlier, so this person had been overlooked.
Yun Wang then realized why Ye You had managed to arrive here so promptly. He quickly approached and asked gently, "Was it you who brought His Royal Highness here?"
The person under the tree was Yun Cheng. Hearing his brother’s question, he nodded slightly with a hint of embarrassnt.
It was barely dawn today when his grandfather Pu Chen had called him over and asked him to accompany Ye You to the Holy Forest, to find them by following Yun Wang’s scent.
Yun Cheng knew his magical talent was not as good as his brother’s, and feeling the pressure of being entrusted with such a task in front of the Prince, he was very careful and ticulous along the way. Fortunately, he succeeded in completing the task, helping Ye You locate his brother and the others.
Yun Wang smiled and patted Yun Cheng’s shoulder, praising him, "Well done."
A smile appeared on Yun Cheng’s face, indeed happy to have accomplished the task successfully and to be praised by his brother.
Yun Wang knew Yun Cheng’s Magic Level was not yet capable of conjuring wings, and his flying skills were also not very good. Thus, not daring to carry anyone, he retracted the magic wings and the brothers walked shoulder to shoulder towards the direction Ye You had left.
As they were about to leave, Yun Wang looked back at Jiu Ge and softened his tone, "Jiu Ge, you should head back to Midair City early!"
Jiu Ge raised his eyebrows slightly and retorted flirtatiously, "Since when can you dictate where I want to go?"
Yun Wang frowned and said no more, leaving the area with Yun Cheng.
Jiu Ge watched them walk far away, then slowly lowered his head to look at his hands. He had held Qin Sisi’s wrist earlier. Her wrist was delicate, her skin smooth. Suddenly, he thought how nice it would be if he could just keep holding on.
But now, his palm was empty.
Oh well, since she had dashed towards another man with such determination, why should he bother about her anymore?
Jiu Ge shrugged indifferently, let out a careless ’hmph’, and clapped his hands as if trying to shake off all feelings associated with Qin Sisi.
Then he leaped back to the cave to fetch his belongings, stepping off the towering trees and quickly turned into a tiny red dot in the western sky as he flew away.
When Ye You brought Qin Sisi to the edge of the Holy Forest, he effortlessly opened an Invisible Bubble, concealing both their figures.
It was already broad daylight, and Ye You had learned from Pu Chen that Tian Xiaozi had once again sent two Heavenly Bodies to assassinate Qin Sisi, implying that if it could happen once, it could happen again.
Tian Xiaozi must have prepared the Candle of Life, so he was certainly aware of the death of the two Heavenly Bodies. Aware of this, Ye You knew they had to be even more cautious.
Bringing Qin Sisi back to the Panhu family’s base in Scholar City, Ye You first settled Qin Sisi in a prepared room to rest while he went to find Pu Chen alone.
On one hand, Ye You wanted to inform Pu Chen that they had returned safely, so there was no need for further worries; on the other, he asked Pu Chen to have soone thoroughly investigate those Earth Demons of Heavenly Body.
While Tian Xiaozi wanted to eradicate him completely, Ye You could tolerate it for the greater good and avoid direct confrontation. However, should Tian Xiaozi target Qin Sisi, Ye You would not stand idly by.
After handling these matters, Ye You returned to Qin Sisi’s room with a tray of freshly prepared food.
Qin Sisi was standing in front of the window looking outside, the stronghold of the Panhu family was highly hidden. From the outside, it was just a street-facing tavern with a moderate size, yet the inside was another world altogether.
The small building where Pu Chen lived had three floors; each floor had 12 rooms and an exterior decoration that looked quite ordinary and inconspicuous. At the entrance hung a small placard bearing the na of the building: Zhong Xu Building.
The surroundings of the building within a two hundred ter radius had no other constructions, just a variety of plants and trees creating a very serene environnt.
However, Qin Sisi already knew from Ye You, upon entering, that an extrely strong Formation was set up around this area which could only be safely accessed with a special token created by the power of magic.
If soone without a token forcefully entered, it would trigger an alarm, and in ergency situations, it would even attack intruders under the master’s control.
Hearing Ye You enter, Qin Sisi closed the window, turned around, and quietly watched him.
Ye You placed what he had been holding on the table and walked up to her, bowed his head, looked into her eyes for a mont, and then tightly embraced her.
"I’m sorry," he whispered in Qin Sisi’s ear.
I’m sorry for not being with you when you needed
most.
Thinking back to the terrifying mont, Qin Sisi felt a residual fear in her heart, thankful that it had passed.
She didn’t speak, but gently rubbed against Ye You in his embrace.
After a long ti, Qin Sisi pushed Ye You slightly to create a small gap between them, then softly asked, "Why did you suddenly co back?"
Ye You crossed his arms around Qin Sisi’s soft waist, softly counter-questioned, "What? You don’t want
back?"
With a coquettish tone, Qin Sisi said, "You know that’s not what I an."
Ye You smiled, kissed her forehead gently, and said softly, "Yun Wang sent
a ssage saying that you were hurt during the Wind Magic class, and I was worried, so I ca back."
Qin Sisi then understood that yesterday morning when she and Xiao ng went to find Yun Cheng, Chu Ming said that Yun Cheng had left early in the morning, probably to send a ssage to Yun Wang early.
Qin Sisi could see the overflowing concern in Ye You’s eyes, and she reassured him gently, "Don’t worry, it’s just a minor injury. With teachers, Ru Lin and Mo Liu around, I recovered quickly."
She knew Ye You needed to focus on improving his magic level and didn’t want to always be a distraction.
Ye You seed to trust Teacher Ru Lin’s healing magic and said no more, took Qin Sisi by the hand to sit at the table, pinched her nose affectionately, and said, "You must be starving, eat sothing fast."
With Ye You’s prompting, Qin Sisi really felt a bit hungry, and seeing as she didn’t need to be formal with Ye You, she directly started eating.
Delicate pastries, tasty dishes, delicious juice, and her beloved next to her, Qin Sisi suddenly felt life was truly beautiful.
Ye You sat beside her, smiling as he watched her.
Qin Sisi felt a little embarrassed being watched, and asked softly, "Why aren’t you eating?"
Ye You replied, "Of course I’ll eat. Who said I wouldn’t?"
Saying so, he picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
