Chapter 1710 “Won’t Give Up (1)”

State Teacher… He’s dead?

Di Cang’s expression finally showed a bit of change from his forever frosty appearance. He bolted down like a lightning and rushed to his sister’s side where he confirmed the truth with his own eyes.

“Yan Yan, do you have any way to save him?” The demon king swings his head around and asked.

Bai Yan also descended after hearing the news, but her complexion didn’t look well after getting the question. After a brief pause, she shakes her own head in denial: “He’s…. I’m sorry Di Cang, State Teacher is gone…”

She’s a very capable alchemist, one of the finest in all the realms at this point, but not even Bai Yan could raise the dead who had already passed.

Originally Di Xiao Wan could still hold a flicker of excitement in her eyes at the arrival of her greatest idol, but that hope died out following those words. It’s a heavy blow to a already unstable soul.

So even Sister-in-law’s ability is not enough… Does that mean I will have to be forever separated from State Teacher?

Biting her lips until it’s a thin white line, Di Xiao Wan’s eye showed nothing but despair. It’s a void that carried no light.

“Di Xiao Wan, do you know who did this to State Teacher?” Di Cang’s cold frosted voice cuts in then, his calm demeanor starting to fade and replaced by a brewing storm.

A bit shook by this voice which sounded should’ve sounded familiar yet not in this case, the demon princess appears startled in the face before answering: “I don’t know, that person said he’s here to seek revenge on you Brother…. He wanted to kill me in order to make you suffer. State Teacher protected me and died in order to not let that person succeed.”

Her voice sounded so weak that it could hardly be heard. Nevertheless, it was enough to make the demon king’s fist clench into a ball and cause the sky to bloom a stormy cloud above their heads.

“I see…” Di Cang locks eye with his own sister and spoke in a very powerful voice: “I will avenge State Teacher’s death. Whoever did this will pay for what’ve done!”

That vow didn’t bring any comfort to Di Xiao Wan’s heart though. Clasping onto her lost man’s head with those frail arms: “Revenge…. It won’t bring State Teacher back will it?”

“Di Cang, you go and investigate the ones responsible for this.” Making a pained face as well when giving the grieving girl a glance, “I will stay behind with Xiao Wan.”

Everyone expected the demon king to walk away without any delay, but he did not, rather Di Cang kept looking down at his younger sister and even showed a flicker of heartache himself. This of course didn’t escape Bai Yan’s sharp eyesight. Don’t assume just because this guy always behave so serious around the sweet dumbaclutz that he doesn’t care, he does and would show those emotions when required.

“Very well Yan Yan, I’ll leave her in your care. Fourth Elder, come with me back to the palace.”

“Yes Sire!” Fourth Elder complied and signaled those who came with him to depart, but not before giving one final glance of compassion at the princess and lifeless body on her lap.

“Auntie, don’t cry, if you cry then State Teacher will be very sad.” Bai Xiachen timely came over to wipe some of the tears coming down the princess’s cheek. He’s always been very sensible and knew this was the time he needed to act.

Hurt as she may be, Di Xiao Wan did manage to pull a faint smile in return to the boy’s comfort: “It’s okay, your auntie I won’t cry, I won’t worry anyone…”
