"What exactly am I afraid of?" Bibi Dong murmured, the images filling her mind all drawn from everything she had experienced over the past few months.
It seemed she had finally noticed something strange... During this time, everything she feared-her disciple finding a girlfriend behind her back, or secretly facing danger without her knowledge-had come true without exception, leaving her in unbearable regret and pain.
And the reason for all this was precisely her indecision. She had put off revealing her feelings for so long that her disciple had run off with someone else. In the end, it was her fit of pique that had forced him to leave her tutelage.
As Bibi Dong sank into thought...
Silence fell over the scene...
Yue Guan and Gui Mei waited to one side, not daring to breathe too loudly.
An unknown stretch of time passed, perhaps a quarter of an hour, perhaps several hours.
"Yue Guan."
Bibi Dong moved, rising to her feet again. Her gaze fixed intently on Yue Guan, frightening him into retreating several steps before he dropped to his knees with a thud.
"Your Highness, I truly meant nothing by what I said earlier. Please spare me!"
"Get up first. I'm not blaming you." Bibi Dong motioned for him to rise, then continued, "I want to know if my disciple said anything else to you. For instance, did he leave any message for me?"
"Um, no."
At this, disappointment showed on Bibi Dong's face, but she soon rallied and immediately ordered, "You two, search around the outskirts of the explosion again. Bring me anyone you find, dead or alive."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei soon departed.
"!@#￥%..." Bibi Dong sat cross-legged in meditation, murmuring the incantation for summoning Blood Pupil, an attendant of the Rakshasa God.
