Chapter 1799 “Yun Feng’s Peril (5)

Ji Sky hung his head in thought for a long while before looking back up towards the closed gate.

“She closed the door to the ruin…”

To stop us from dying? She closed the door, for our sake?

Can’t be…. she already expects to encounter danger?

That’s why she said that stuff about looking after Miss Ling Yan until the father comes around? Is that why?

“Elder Sky, you still haven’t told me what happened between you and Mr. Di yet!” Fifth Elder was starting to get impatient and got all rowdy.

Making a bittersweet face: “Before you came back to get us, I injured Mrs. Di’s mother…”

What?!

Fifth Elder’s face changed drastically, his voice racy and panting with anxiety: “Yo-You hurt her mother?!”

“Yes,” Ji Sky closed his old eyes, that eyelash fluttering due to the guilt he felt inside. “It’s because of Gu Ya, she came running over earlier tonight and claimed Mrs. Di wants to become the monarch’s wife. In order to achieve that, she was going to use me by gambling with Song’s health. You know me. If Song really did become healthy again then I would’ve been so grateful that she could’ve asked me for anything. But…”

Thinking of what had happened, Ji Sky sighed and appeared all the much older with that deflated shoulder: “Gu Ya then told me Mrs. Di doesn’t have that sort of skill, whatever she planned to do would end up killing my granddaughter.”

The mountains around the ruins were a tranquil calm with none willing to speak as they listened in to the whole story. As for the ending… They didn’t need to guess because if Bai Yan were here then that meant the treatment was a success. Everyone knew how crazy Elder Sky could get if it’s related to Song. If that girl really did die, he wouldn’t be standing here and instead murdered the perpetrator for killing his only family member left.

“And then what?” Fifth Elder got all edgy due to his peer for not continuing the story, “You didn’t ask for the details and injured the lady’s mother, right?”

Ji Sky returned with a bitter smile and nodded: “You know me, whenever I hear something bad about Song I would lose it. I had intended to go find Mrs. Di and get an explanation but was blocked by Miss Ling Yan part way there. Afterwards, that’s when Mrs. Di’s mother showed up as well from out of the blue. I was in a panic and didn’t think things through, so…. I ended up hurting the other lady you saw going inside the ancient ruins. I really didn’t mean to cause such a huge mistake….”

When the last words came out, a brief moment of silence fell upon this mountain once again, their eyes all looking towards the direction of the closed gate. There’s worship in their eyes, and some were mixed with pure gratitude with shining light flickering from within.

In their view, such a fine character of a woman deserves much respect. Not only did Bai Yan save Song – which proves her medicinal skills are beyond even that of Elder Sky – she also shut the gate in order to keep them safe here on the outside. How could they not be grateful when she’s doing so much?

However nice those opinions were, these idiots are in fact overthinking the matter. Truth was Bai Yan merely didn’t want them to follow along and be deadweights. There’s also the fact that she wanted a proper guardian for Ling Yan in case anyone attacks. Gu Ya for one was a danger that she couldn’t ignore. And then there’s the other domains, who knows if they would send people over to assassinate her daughter while she’s not looking?
