Realms In The Firmament

Song Jue repeated the same words for so many times. In the beginning, Han Bingxue even felt funny that a tough man was nagging like an old lady. In the end, he only felt touched in the heart.

Song Jue’s true heart to Ye Xiao was obvious. Everybody could see it. There was nothing fake. It was all sincerity.

The three people had gone so far. When they looked back, they still saw Song Jue standing high and watching them…

When they were back on the route, Han Bingxue realized something strange.

Ye Xiao would get lost in thoughts from time to time.

Sometimes, when Xuan Bing didn’t notice him, he would stare at Xuan Bing and kept thinking about something.

Han Bingxue didn’t understand.

He was confused about Xuan Bing since the beginning. [You are such a powerful figure, a famous person. Why do you have to come with us?]

[Don’t you have anything else to do?]

[When we said we were coming to Oracle District for some business, you said you did too. We have finished our business in the Song Clan now, yet why do you still follow us? Don’t you need to take care of your own matters?]

[It feels like a pin on the back walking along with you…]

Now, he was also confused that Ye Xiao looked at Xuan Bing with a strange look.

[What is it?]

[Doesn’t it seem to go wrong?]

He clearly noticed that when Ye Xiao was facing Xuan Bing, Ye Xiao didn’t feel stressed at all.

That was even stranger.

[No matter how powerful you used to be when you were Xiao Monarch, you are not anymore. You are not Xiao Monarch now, you are just Ye Xiao. Besides, even when you were Xiao Monarch, you wouldn’t be so fearless facing somebody like Xuan Bing, the Lady Devil in the realm?]

[There must be something…]

[Something I don’t know yet!]

Han Bingxue was lost in confusion. Meanwhile, Ye Xiao was confused too.

[Why?]

[I am sure Xuan Bing never tried to suppress me with her spiritual power. That’s for sure.]

[But she is still one of the most powerful figures in the world. Even though she wouldn’t intentionally do it, she should still have a suppression power against everybody around her. Unless she tried to particularly remove the suppression for somebody. I shouldn’t have been feeling so relaxed. Maybe I could feel relaxed physically, but never mentally.]

[After all, there is a world’s strongest cultivator beside me.]

[No matter how strong my mind is, how natural and casual I am… I couldn’t have ever ignored the invisible impact from her power.]

[It should influence me at some point. Unless I have been staying in it for too long so I am kind of immune to it!]

[Such suppression was unique. Each was different. I may get used to Han Bingxue’s power after being with him for a long time, so I am quite relaxed with him, but it doesn’t mean I get used to other’s strong power suppression!]

[Why do I feel so relaxed?]

[Am I used to Xuan Bing’s natural power suppression? Because I used to stay with her for a long time?]

Then he started self-mockery. He was the only one who could be completely sure about whether he did or did not stay with Xuan Bing before this. He had never met Xuan Bing before, not to mention staying with her for a long time to get used to her power suppression!

Other than the suppression, he had a few other questions in the head too. [Why is she following us? There seems to be no explanation for it. Why didn’t she get angry at me? Even when I offended her by accident, she didn’t get mad at all. Is she truly that generous? I don’t think so. Han Bingxue is with us all the time. He has just said something she doesn’t like to hear, then he was tortured to a dead end. This is another point.]

[Besides, I clearly felt familiar when she sat beside me while we were going to have a meal in that village…]

[When she was facing Song Jue, her attitude… it was ambiguous…]

[Further more, she gave all the credits to me when talking about what she did for others… Why…]

[Weirdest thing is… when Song Jue said she was my concubine… that she was Bing’er, why didn’t she get mad?]

[It should be a huge humiliation. Even if she killed Song Jue, I may not accept it and I probably will fight against her risking my life, but she wouldn’t be wrong if she did it…]

[However, she just didn’t care. She even talked to Song Jue with pleasure.]

Ye Xiao thought he might be the reason because he knew the secret of planting the Regeneration Ink Lotus. However, what he felt was that when Xuan Bing talked to Song Jue, she was sincere. She didn’t try to pretend to be happy. There were too many questions in his heart.

Suddenly, he had an idea that seemed quite absurd to him. [Could it be possible that Xuan Bing is Bing’er? If it is true, everything makes sense…] He believed it was absurd, but he just couldn’t forget such conjecture afterwards. That was why when he looked at Xuan Bing, he looked weird.

Xuan Bing seemed calm like she didn’t notice anything.

In fact, her heart was beating fast.

Every time when Ye Xiao glanced at her with a weird look, she felt like he could see through her heart.

Every time when she sensed the warmth of his body and looked at his face, she wanted to rush into his arms.

Such a feeling truly had made her feel helpless.

[Oh… The girl’s mind is hard to repel…]

[However, even if I am going to rush over to him, I should get him down, not get into his arms!]

She realized that if Ye Xiao kept suspecting, she would definitely be exposed.]

Yet she didn’t want to leave him so soon.

How could she just leave, after being apart to him for such a long time?
