Chapter 113: Golden Eagle Inn

They didn’t know when Yun Shu would lose her patience and run straight inside the cave, so they were standing alert from the side. When the time comes, they will need to make the best decision.

“This won’t do, he is taking too long…” Yun Shu mumbled as she looked at the cave with dark eyes.

She was at her wits end, and that old man told her using telepathy that Bai Yunxian would exit from the underground palace with this path.

“…!”

“My lord, you mustn’t make such a hasty decision!”

“I believe My Lady would be alright. She will definitely come back so please be a little patient!”

Nine and Thirteen were in unison as they tried to stop Yun Shu, but she didn’t want to listen to them.

“That damned old man told me she is coming, but I haven’t seen her yet. What if she got into an accident there?” Yun Shu glared at her subordinates even after knowing they were going through a hard time keeping her back.

“If something really happened, then use us, your loyal subordinates, My Lord. You mustn’t get hurt like this!” Nine spread his hands on both sides, preventing Yun Shu from going further even though he was trembling and shaking like a mouse.

Even her brothers were helpless against her when Yun Shu got angry, it was reasonable for him to gather all his courage and stand against her.

“You…!” Just as Yun Shu was about to lash out at Nine, a tranquil voice stopped her from moving.

“My Lord.”

Nine stepped away from Yun Shu’s face as he took a breath of relief. His savior was here!

“Yunxian? Bai Yunxian?” Yun Shu said as she saw the person before her, just to make sure.

Once again…

“Yes, My Lord. It’s me.”

Yes.

It’s him.

The boy is wearing girl’s clothes and pretending to be a girl…

It was him, there is no doubt…

However, something inside Yun Shu’s heart felt empty.

She didn’t know what it was, nor did she want to know.

“My Lord?” Bai Yunxian was unsure of what Yun Shu was thinking, he couldn’t see her expression which was hidden under the dark shadow looming over.

“… Foundation Establishment, not bad.” Yun Shu’s voice was cold as she looked at Bai Yunxian with an icy stare.

’Wait, why did I behave so cold to him? This isn’t supposed to be like this?!’

As Yun Shu commented, she turned around and started walking.

“Let’s go, we have much more work we need to do, since she is done with her cultivation, start moving.”

“Wait, My Lord! I-I have something to tell you before we start moving!” Bai Yunxian tried to stop Yun Shu, puzzled and shocked from his cold treatment.

’Did I do something wrong? I don’t remember doing anything like that, but I need to tell him what will happen! I can’t let him go to the county unprepared and start a war! It would be terrible if it were to happen again!’

Bai Yunxian was confused as he felt hurt by Yun Shu’s behavior, but he still couldn’t keep the words to himself. Trying to prove useful to him.

’He said he would congratulate me if I advanced, and now he is angry for no reason… Seriously, what was I even expecting? I shouldn’t expect anything and live like a dead rat, this was the deal between us. It should be that way…’

’Why do I feel like… I lost something important?’

Bai Yunxian tried to remember the thing he felt like he forgot, but a stinging pain in his head kept him from remembering. His heart felt empty for some reason, but he didn’t understand why it felt so bad.

When Yun Shu was busy self-loathing.

’Why am I expecting something that I know won’t happen? I’m such a fool.’

Even if Yun Shu knew that Bai Yunxian would forget everything,

“Uh… Lady, should we get going?” Nine felt awkward after watching Yun Shu behave like this all of a sudden.

“Yes, let’s go.” Bai Yunxian’s shoulder dropped down as she nodded and walked back with the subordinates. It would seem like she was barely holding back her tears, because Lord Yun would get annoyed even more if he were to see him cry over nothing.

Even though they shared the same bed after coming back, Yun Shu didn’t say a word with Bai Yunxian, occupying the other side of the bed she just turned aside from facing Bai Yunxian and closed her eyes.

Bai Yunxian’s shadows also saw how he was being treated harshly by Yun Shu because of her mood swing, they crushed their teeth in anger, glaring at her from the shadows.

But couldn’t do anything because they were at a disadvantage. That night, this news also reached a certain someone who got ready and headed out right away after getting this news. But that’s to come in the future.

Feng Haoran also noticed the tension in the air.

’Looks like a couple’s fight, better stay away from them so as not to get involved… ’

So that’s how the others kept their distance from the couple and spent the night in distress.

***

The next week,

In a bright and sunny morning,

A long march consisting of an extravagant palanquin and three caravans claiming to be coming from the Capital entered the County.

Some rich Young Master from the Capital came to make an investment and have a fun time in this County, the words were spread by the Nine and Thriteen’s special team.

“Golden Eagle Inn. That would be our temporary stop until we get a formal invitation from the Shen family.” An icy cold but manly voice gave instruction to the guards posing as servants.

“Yes Young Master.” Nine bowed as he took the hint.

Since the palanquin was covered in veils, no one could see the man inside even though they were curious. In addition to that, the people also heard that there was a very beautiful dancer who was traveling with the Young Master inside.
