The atmosphere at night in one of the inns not far from the Zu royal palace was very quiet.
Arcadia Lodging.
That's the inscription on the front of a brown building. Right in one of the rooms, several people seed to gather with feelings of anxiety and worry.
They were Gu Yi, Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning. As for Xue Ying, the young man was just sitting in his room recovering his mana.
Everyone waited patiently for Fu Xie Lan who was still unconscious.
His breathing sounded so weak, with rune engravings that were nothing but soul cover rune seals filling her entire body. The rune seed to appear and disappear as if it were blinking. Even so, the girl didn't show any expression. Looked so calm and so peaceful, only the skin looked pale.
"How are you feeling?" Ju Xian's voice suddenly rang out to fill the silence in the room. The youth turned to Xue Ning who was standing not far from him.
"The wound has healed because he was cultivating to restore the mana in his body to its original state."
Ju Xian just nodded in response to the girl.
"Do you have any other concerns? Your expression has been bothering a lot," Ju Xian said again and at the sa ti, Wan Lie also turned his head to where the girl was.
"No, I'm just a little scared."
"Huh?"
"I'm afraid that the Lord knows about today's events," Xue Ning replied with a sigh of breath.
"You an? I do not understand."
"You know the rules of the demon palace, don't you? I'm afraid that all of us here will be punished for disobeying that order."
"The explosion that happened last night and just now was huge, I'm afraid Lord heard about it, and ahhh just imagining it scares ."
Hearing Xue Ning's words, Ju Xian fell silent. Indeed what the girl said was true.
Those wizards or races other than humans are not allowed to set foot on human territory, whatever the reason.
Finally, both of them were silent again and prayed that the events that happened today would not reach the ears of the ruler.
While on the other hand Wan Lie and Gu Yi, they just silently listened without any intention of responding in the slightest.
As for guards Bai, since they entered the Arcadia inn, the two bodyguards didn't co in, and instead, they stood guard outside the inn. By Lord Gu Yi's orders.
As one night wore on, Fu Xie Lan had not yet regained consciousness. The runes that previously filled the girl's body had now disappeared with the color of her skin had regained its hue.
Even so, those in the room were reluctant to leave the room before the girl regained consciousness. Even though Gu Yi had told them to co back many tis. But Wan Lie persisted in waiting for Fu Xie Lan to co to his senses. So did the other two.
Like now.
Gu Yi had already lost his temper.
"You standing here won't also bring her to her senses, so it's best to get out," Gu Yi said, his tone still cold but not as cold as usual.
"Let take care of her," added the man again.
"No! I want to stay here," Wan Lie insisted. As for Ju Xian and Xue Nig, the two of them just followed Wan Lie. Though the feeling of horror had been felt by both of them earlier when Gu Yi began to speak.
"Fu Xie Lan needs rest," a rough sigh escaped Gu Yi's lips.
"Your presence is interfering with her recovery."
"Don't worry, we're not bothering her. Just standing here. After all, we haven't done anything," Wan Lie replied.
"The sound of your breathing bothers her," Gu Yi said flatly.
"If you still want to wait for her to co to her senses, don't make any sound," the man added again and managed to make Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning gape.
Especially Wan Lie, the young man never thought that his father would say such a thing. Even the sound of his own child's breathing was considered a nuisance. His feeling now, He wanted to take Fu Xie Lan to a place far away from Gu Yi's reach right then and there.
Wan Lie ran a hand through his hair roughly. Hey, here he also has rights over his mother. Why does his father seem to only want to dominate Fu Xie Lan who is his mother alone?
"Or do you want to help you not make the slightest sound?" Gu Yi asked looking back at Ju Xian and Xue Ning who were also looking at him at the sa ti.
Surprised, Xue Ning and Ju Xian imdiately straightened up, which had previously been leaning against the wall of the room.
"N-no. Thank you. Ju Xian, Wan Lie, I feel a little unwell. Maybe I should go back," Xue Ning suddenly said in a slightly stuttering voice.
"Excuse ," she continued again and then got up from her position, opened the door slowly, without waiting for soone to respond to her words.
"M- too. My head suddenly hurt. Wa-Wan Lie, I want to go back too, maybe I need so ti to recover the mana in my body too," Ju Xian said suddenly after seeing Xue Ning co out.
Ju Xian imdiately got up from his position and left the room with hasty steps, towards the room that had been rented for him.
Wan Lie who saw this only glanced at the door and then looked back at Fu Xie Lan, with the sa position as before.
Stood leaning against the wall with one foot on the floor and the other bent, supporting his body, forming an angle of ninety degrees.
One of Gu Yi's eyebrows shot up when he saw that Wan Lie didn't budge at all.
"Why is Daddy looking at like that?" asked Wan Lie suddenly.
Currently, there were only Gu Yi, Wan Lie, Hao, and Fu Xie Lan in the room.
"Not coming out?"
"No Dad. Let wait here," Wan Lie replied.
"Co out, I also want to rest," said Gu Yi.
"Just rest, Dad, I won't bother you," Wan Lie replied lightly.
"I'll let you know when she wakes up," Gu Yi said.
"But..."
"Don't argue with , Wan Lie."
"Get out," said Gu Yi then stood up from his position who was sitting next to Fu Xie Lan's body who was lying unconscious.
The man walked towards where Wan Lie was. He grabbed the young man's hand and led him to the door.
"Daddy, leave here," said Wan Lie trying to get out of Gu Yi's grip.
"No. You can co back later when she wakes up," Gu Yi replied as he opened the door and pushed Wan Lie out, and closed the door again.
"Hmm."
A sigh could be heard from Wan Lie's lips, he wanted to watch and wait for his mother to wake up, but the man held it back and annoyed him. Whereas here he is the son of the two of them.
