Chapter 1777 “The Cure (2)”

“Okay.” Song’s mouth twitched awkwardly in her attempt to smile. Sadly, the child’s never been one to show happiness so it only appeared weird and forced.

But not everyone would find this to be bad. For Ji Sky the senior elder of this manor, he’s absolutely overjoyed at the sight. “Song Song, you…”

“Grandfather, I’m going to go back for rest, when you find the fruit and feather bring it to me right away, okay.” That said, the awkward smile promptly disappeared from her face before turning away with the maid in tow.

Gazing at the small figure moving further and further away, Ji Sky also retracts his gaze and mused over the interaction. “Someone come and pass on my order: go scour the domain for a Soul Fruit. I’m willing to offer whoever has it a single request from me as the price for the exchange. This promise will always stand as long as it’s within my means.”

The attendants who followed him knew how much the elder doted on the grandchild so it came as no surprise. Cusping their fist, the bunch quickly dispersed to carry out the command of declaring the quest.

……

Heavenly Domain, atop of a mountain in the far north.

“Fourth Elder, are you sure this is the place?” Staring into the distance with those piercing eyes, Heavenly asks the old man next to himself.

“I’m certain Monarch, there’s no mistake.” Fourth Elder replies.

“Alright, we’re going in right away to cut down the time here.” For some unknown reason, Heavenly simply doesn’t want to waste time in this place because he’s feeling unsettled inside.

“Ling Yan…”

What if something happens to that little child when I’m not around.

……

Meanwhile at the same time, Gu Ya had just finished listening to the report from her spies inside the manor.

Standing up with shock in her eyes: “You mean First Elder is looking for a Soul Fruit everywhere? What does he want with that item?”

A Soul Fruit had no great use for humans, but it’s a great enhancing product for demonic beasts to increase their toughness and spiritual strength.

“Miss, it’s said that Ms. Song wants the fruit for herself, that’s why First Elder is searching for it everywhere. If we find the Soul Fruit and offer it….” The spy carefully gazes upward at his mistress for signs of what to say.

Ji Song… How I envy her. She has such a power and influential grandfather that loves her so dearly, meanwhile I have no family left aside from Gu Lao keeping me company.

“Where is Gu Lao now?” Gu Ya thinly presses her lips and asked.

“Milady, Senior Gu Lao has gone out earlier today, he hasn’t returned yet nor do we know his whereabout.”

“Out?” Gu Ya got quiet without any indication of what’s going through her mind. “I understand, you can go back down first. When Gu Lao comes back, tell him to come see me immediately.”

And here I was thinking about on how to get that woman out of Monarch Manor, to think the opportunity would come so quickly….
