Chapter 1763 “Bai Yan’s Here (2)”
“In that ancient ruin, there should be something she left me. Fifth Elder, you accompany me to the ruins. In addition, let Second Elder take over the job of watching over Ling Yan.”
Fifth Elder Qiu Ying appears startled at first but quickly recovered enough to nod: “Yes Monarch.”
After dropping this, the old senior went ahead to make the arrangements for personnel’s and the order to the second elder.
Unlike in other places where men held most of the high positions on these elder councils, the second elder in Heavenly Manor was in fact a woman. Although she’s of several hundred years by this age, the youthful contour of this lady did not escape her grasp, thus leaving her outer appearance quite seductive to the less informed.
Similarly for the female gender, cute little girls are easier to be liked, such would be the reason for Heavenly’s choice of picking the second elder.
When everything was arranged, the grandfather did not say his goodbye to the pipsqueak, instead he left quietly without warning. He’s not going far or long anyways, there’s no point in giving this info to a inexperienced baby who might decide to throw a tantrum and tag along. By then things really would get heated and troublesome.
Perhaps by coincidence or just pure fate, Bai Yan who’s been tracking her daughter’s energy signature soon arrived outside the estate. She’s tried, very tired in fact with sweat causing her dress to stick to that fine figure and shiny skin, she’s nevertheless as stunning as ever. In fact, her beauty merely shifted to a more mellow form instead of the dominating and strong heroine type she portrayed to the public.
“HALT!” The two standing watchmen at the doorway yelled when they saw the stranger approach their premise, “Who are you and why are you here at the Monarch’s Manor?”
Bai Yan stopped as ordered, but she did not get angry at the holler and instead spoke in respectful tones: “Mr. Guards, might I ask if you’ve seen a missing little girl as of late?”
Little girl?
The watchmen popped their eyes in astonishment.
Some time ago their lord and liege did bring a little girl back to the manor, but the story was that she’s the young miss of the estate. Now this unknown woman had come asking for details about her? Could it be?
“The one you’re looking for is…” One of the watchmen attempts to ask for more details when an unwelcoming voice interruptw their conversation.
“I believe you’re looking in the wrong place, we do not have the person like you described in the Monarch Manor.”
Furrowing her brow, Bai Yan turns around to let her gaze fall upon the dainty figure that’s coming over.
The opposing woman wore a long dress like her own but in the light blue color. Though she’s not as dazzling as Bai Yan, this person does have an enchanting air in the way she sways those hips. It could drive any men crazy for her if she simply revealed some more of that skin by loosening the dress somewhat.
Once again, the watchmen at the door were stunned.
Didn’t the monarch bring back a little girl from the outside? Why is Miss Gu Ya claiming we didn’t?
They wanted to refute the denial and answer honestly, but this was Gu Ya they were going up against. They’re nothing but lowly guards at the manor, what good would it do them to get on the bad side of the monarch’s benefactor? Nothing of course!
“You are…” Bai Yan calmly inquires without any warmth.
Gu Ya smiled: “I am the monarch’s people. I’m afraid you are looking in the wrong place, we did not pick up any little girl so I suggest you look elsewhere.”
Bai Yan didn’t buy this story one bit and shot the lady a strange squint before turning back her sight on the estate.
Ling Yan’s energy signature is clearly coming from the Monarch Manor, I did not find the wrong place.
Can it be… these people kidnapped my daughter?
Her face darkened at the idea, causing that friendly air to transform into a cold hard form as she rushed at the entrance like a charging bull.
The two watchmen did not expect this in the slightest at a barging intruder so they were immediately caught off guard. By the time they wanted to intervene and stop her, it’s already too late as they were knocked back by the woman’s immense gush of power.
“Today, I must enter the Monarch Manor, no one can stop me, scram!”
