"Do I need to report to you whatever I do?" You Si asked irritably. "Move aside. I need to lay down an array."
Subduing Dragon slowly flew forward and stood facing You Si. "Mother, allow me a bold guess... you aren't planning to turn the Sage into time, are you?"
You Si's eyes instantly widened. "How did you know?!"
"This really puts me in a difficult position..." Subduing Dragon said with a smile. "We received two mission orders. One was to kill the Sage, and the other was to kill anyone who wants to turn the Sage into time."
You Si's lips trembled slightly at these words, disbelief written all over her face.
"How could there be such a mission?!" You Si asked in bewilderment. "Who hired you?!"
"We obey Great Dark Heaven's orders. As for where Great Dark Heaven received those orders... that is not for us to know."
You Si began trembling slightly all over. By all rights, "finding time" had always been a secret mission. In the past, she had never told anyone besides "herself"... if there was any exception, it was only Yingning, whom she had told today.

"Mother, no matter how much kindness you've shown us, a mission is a mission. If you're the target, Great Dark Heaven will never spare you." Subduing Dragon slowly approached You Si and said, "This is for the best, too. We can meet Mother in Extreme Darkness."
You Si's eyes widened instantly at his words.
She seemed to remember!
She remembered those things she had wanted to flee from,
