Chapter 25 - 25. Chaotic Feeling
"So what do you think?" Elder Bao asked without taking his eyes off Fu Xie Lan who was still lying unconscious.
"Based on the magic book, I concluded that the girl's body contained two souls, as evidenced by the reaction of the seal in her body. It's just ..."
"It is just?"
"No matter how many knots the seal opens, when the silver blood moon occurs the seal will still be destroyed. In other words, the girl's two souls will still disappear and that means death," said Elder Chen with a heavy sigh.
"So how? what are you going to do now? "asked Elder Bao.
"Err ... I should have asked that. You brought her here. I'm only helping you as much as I can," Elder Chen replied, rolling his eyes in embarrassment.
Elder Bao just smiled as he scratched the nape of his neck which was not itchy.
"What are you going to do with her?" asked Elder Chen.
"Hmm. I don't know. I'm also confused. The first time I met that girl, her body was covered in blood. To be honest, I'm very pity, plus the child doesn't understand the condition of her body, maybe I should just make her my disciple, "said Elder Bao with a sigh.
"Huh? Are you sure?" said Elder Chen. all this time, he knew that his best friend had never been interested in having students even though many wanted to be his students. According to him, it was very troublesome. And now, he wanted a girl with unknown origins to be his disciple?
"Are you sure? I want to make her my student not because I want to guide her, but I just want to protect her. With the title as my student, no one will dare to bother her. At least until then. This is all I can do," he decided.
The youth who sat in silence next to Fu Xie Lan's bed did not miss a single word from Elder Chen and Elder Bao.
He was completely aware of what condition her mother was in. His hands were clenched tightly, feelings of anger, sadness, disappointment mixed into one within him.
It wasn't a meeting like this that he wanted. It was the first time he met his mother and had to go back apart just because of that stupid seal. He did not accept.
"Son, don't you think that you should meet your father?" Elder Chen's voice suddenly distracted his attention. During these two days, when Fu Xie Lan was still unconscious. Elder Chen and Elder Huang Bao told the young man everything, including Lord Gu and the events of 700 years ago.
'Before I wanted that, but after meeting my mother, it seems like she needs me more,' thought the young man.
"I want to meet him, uncle. But not now. And again, can you keep everything about me and this girl a secret from others?" he said then turned to the two old men who were sitting in the corner of the room.
He did not want his identity to be known by others, including the identity of this girl. He did not know the kind of danger that would come to his mother. Moreover, in her body, there is human blood. besides, before finding a way for his mother to be free from the seal without losing her soul, he would continue to keep her true identity a secret, the black magicians who disappeared after that incident also could not guarantee that they would not reappear. All this he did for the good and safety of his mother. Yes, that's the only way.
Elder Chen and Elder Bao looked at each other, the same thing appeared in their minds, 'has this young man fallen in love with that girl?' they were completely unaware of the strangeness of the young man who suddenly turned back towards the room that he didn't even know before.
"Very well, if that is your wish. We will also not ask again. You must have a special reason". Elder Bao replied, blushing.
Immediately Elder Chen had the feeling of wanting to throw Elder Bao to Hell when he saw his eccentric behavior.
That young man was Lord Gu's son, what kind of courage did they have to defy his orders? Unless they are tired of living. Asking them to talk like an ordinary person was very hard for them. It wasn't that they didn't respect the ruler's son, it was just that this was the young man's request to be casual to him.

Demon Palace
The situation inside the palace hall was very tense. Even a little movement could be the reason they were killed. They are the ones who have walked through the forbidden forest.
Each group reported their search results, including the whereabouts of a human girl they met and suddenly disappeared.
Whether it can be said to be a good report or not because what they report is more or less the same. there was nothing strange that they found apart from that human girl. Even though they traced the forest twice in only three days, they still found nothing.
Lord Gu, who was listening to the report, just sat silently on his throne with one hand resting on his chin. He did not do anything but the killing aura that wafted up within him caused an atmospheric pressure in the room that made it difficult for anyone to breathe.
Cold sweat-filled every creature's body, trying to minimize the sound of panting as the oxygen in the room seemed to be running low.
Suddenly Elder You's body was thrown away, crashing into the hall wall and vomiting blood.
"Are you trying to trick me?" cold sounds reaching everyone's sense of hearing made their bodies tremble with fear.
"My... my highness, forgive your weak servant. Your humble servant does not dare to do that", said the Elder You fearfully, kneeling on the floor.
The indoor air pressure was getting thinner and thinner, giving Bai Xue's bodyguard the courage to act and trying to minimize Lord Gu's anger. He then explained everything in detail to the ruler.
However, Bai Xue's body was also thrown and hit the hall pillar, the impact was extremely violent. Make the man vomit blood.
"Tch .... Once again you interrupt, die."
'It's not enough, I want more, he thought, grinning. a grin that made Bai Mo who was standing beside Lord Gu shudder in horror. Bodyguard Bai Mo recovered a day ago, and only returned to the palace today.
Master Gu fell silent again, creating a hellish silence for them.
It's not that he doesn't believe what they are saying, it's just that in the past two days his feelings have been messy, and letting go of his frustration with them doesn't change much how he feels.
"Good... Tell the palace officials to tighten security in all places, immediately report if you find something strange," he said, then left the hall, but before that, his steps stopped making several people who had already exhaled a sigh of relief again holding their breath they.
"You two come with me!" He said, grinning. What he meant was Bodyguard Bai Mo and Bodyguard Bai Xue.
The two of them looked at each other, shuddering in horror. Something unkind must be waiting for them.
"According to your highness order," they said in unison, then following Lord Gu left the hall.
Sighs of relief could be heard clearly from everyone in the hall, some of them helping Elder You then left the palace hall as well.
While Master Gu who was followed by his two bodyguards disappeared at the end of the corridor. Where did they go, no one knows.
.
.
.
Three figures appeared on a vast meadow. They were Lord Gu, bodyguard Bai Mo, and bodyguard Bai Xue.
"Ready to take orders, Your Highness," said the two bodyguards at the same time taking a kneeling position with only one knee supporting.
"You ... Attack me!" said Lord Gu.
The two bodyguards immediately fell to the ground in shock.
"B..but your highness, we..we ...."
"If not, prepare yourselves," Lord Gu interrupted Bai Mo's words then took some distance and prepared to attack.
Maybe this is the right way to vent the anger he felt for the past two days.
"Momo… do something, Lord Gu seems angry." Bai Xue whined, grabbing Bai Mo's arm.
"Shut up stupid... It's all because of your actions earlier, already knowing that Lord Gu's words don't like to be interrupted, you still do it" Bai Mo said, snorted in annoyance.
Although he wasn't sure what he was saying, because it seemed like there was something else that had led the ruler to go this far. As long as he was recovering, it seemed like something had happened to Lord Gu.
Flashback On
It's been a day since he gave the order to search the forbidden forest. The great mana Elder You said, he also felt it. The wind blew softly from the side of the window where he was standing.
Suddenly his whole body was tense and stiff, his heart was beating uncontrollably, his breathing was raging. The sweet aroma of raspberries mixed with jasmine tickled his sense of smell. Even though it was a glimpse, that scent made a big change in him. The scent he missed so much, the scent that always made him addicted. The scent of Queen Yu Yi. His wife.
