Chapter 1328 “The Pretentious Yun Ruo Xi (2)”

What?

Yun Ruo Xi’s complexion instantly changed over that news.

If they came back earlier than maybe they could’ve stopped Bai Yan, but now…. If they find out I’m unscathed and ran all the way out here, what would they think of me then? They will probably think of me as a coward! That means all my years of hard work will be destroyed!

Sensing a powerful aura fast approaching her location, the witch promptly got fierce in the eyes. Without hesitation, she slams herself in the chest with a palm strike.

Pffff!!!

Spraying out blood from the mouth, she crumbles to the ground like a helpless doll.

“Milady!” The maid exclaims from the front, not understanding why the woman would do that to herself, “Miss, you…”

Getting hard in the face: “Do not under any circumstances say anything! If you say so much as a word then you know what will happen!”

Shuddering from the threat, the maid hung her head low in fear. She’s been with this witch for far too long so she’s aware of the methods this Yun Ruo Xi had in deceiving others.

Then before more could be said between the two ladies, a yellow robed figure had already arrived in their spot.

“What’s going on here Ruo Xi? Who hurt you this badly?” The yellow robed Keeper asks with serious concern after noticing how weak she was.

Undeniably, this elder got mixed feelings about the girl when he was searching the area. One being that he’s happy Ruo Xi’s alive somewhere, the other being disappointment because she likely ran away in the heat of battle or something along those lines. However, when he finally located the witch and discovered I knew Ruo Xi is a brave and kind soul all long, why did I doubt her?!

“Ooomph!” Letting trickles of tears slip down her eyes, the deceitful witch promptly grabbed onto the elder’s sleeve and asked, “Keeper Yellow, is Keeper Red… is she okay?”

The maid behind the lady almost popped her eyes out. Didn’t Miss witness the death of Keeper Red herself? Why is she asking if she’s dead or not?

But from the warning she got earlier, the maid knew better than to speak up and question the idea.

Keeper Yellow’s expression got ugly in that moment. It’s not hard for him to connect the dots on what narrative occurred, even if it’s a fake one misled by the witch.

“Keeper Red… she’s dead.”

In that moment, Yun Ruo Xi’s grasping hand froze. Then as if drained of life, she dropped them and started to laugh silently. There are tears flowing out of her eyes in drove, which made her appearance all the more believable.

“It’s all because of me… I saw how that old coot brought Bai Yan over to the Celestial Palace and couldn’t do anything to stop them. I begged her to spare Keeper Red’s life, but she refused and attacked me…” Pausing like she’s losing her voice due to all the sobbing, “It was Keeper Red who saved me in the last second. She told me to run away because I am the hope of everyone in this world. I wanted to stay and help even in my weakened state, but I also knew my existence is more important than my own self-interest. I’m sorry Keeper Yellow, this is all my fault, I should’ve been there, I should’ve stayed, I… I….”
