The Endless Promise

115. Like A Precious Glaze

.

"Isn't it a narrow road between enemies...?" Fei Yun, the Fate Immortal asked, the wind swaying his black robes and greyish hair, which bore brilliant green tips.

His voice was calm, but it shook the surroundings.

"Fei Yun." Luoyin whispered, a shocked expression on his face.

An eternity of silence passed between the two as joyful and sorrowful memories alike swirled around them...

.

At the edges of Yu Shui City, the Cloaked woman's smirk could be felt.

"He has arrived... My chief general."

Qin Yuelian smirked. "Another ignorant fool! One thought of his 'love', and he'll do our every bidding!" Her brows furrowed prettily. "But Mistress, I endlessly wonder... Why don't you kill Yin Xiaolong right now? It won't matter if anyone sees you, and in his current state, it's as easy as crushing an ant!"

All the cloaked woman said was, "Kneel.", and an immense force pushed Qin Yuelian to her knees.

"You can now teach me how to do things?" The cloaked woman asked, and Qin Yuelian hastily bowed her forehead to the ground.

"Forgive me Mistress! I misspoke!!"

There was only a slight shift of the cloaked woman's hood. "'A little impatience ruins great plans'... The Floral kingdom is important to my plans, but my presence is the only thing preventing the Sky Soldiers from sending their soldiers in.

"The War deity won't step in because he has no idea what I'm capable of... But if we're suddenly revealed to be absent, wouldn't he realize the 'Tiger is away from the mountain'?

"Will you be responsible if the Floral Realm is conquered?! You also haven't considered what Yin Xiaolong and his Immortal friends are planning... Do you think he would come here unprepared?!"

"My apologies, Mistress! I'm near-sighted and foolish!" Qin Yuelian bowed her head to the ground.

"Foolish indeed." The cloaked woman folded an arm behind her back.

There were other reasons why she couldn't afford to reveal herself yet...

The entire Baishan tournament had been to lure the pillars of Baishan and gather enough fodder for the demon seal, but most of all, to kill Yin Xiaolong.

And she had recently realized...

Yin Xiaolong would never die if Xu Weiyan herself remained alive!

"Rise. Don't concern yourself with Yin Xiaolong." The cloaked woman said looking down at the bowing Qin Yuelian.

"Find Xu Weiyan and kill her before those two finish dueling!" She ordered as she turned towards the arena, where two enemies stood in the most unpleasant of reunions.

Qin Yuelian's brows bent to a furrow.

She had never understood why her mistress bothered with an unimportant mortal like Xu Weiyan, and she considered asking why...

But she thought better of it and simply responded,

"Understood, Mistress!"

.

.

Meanwhile, Luoyin and Fei Yun indeed faced each other in what could only be considered an unpleasant reunion.

Fei Yun eyed Luoyin. "Hmph. You're finally back to your real appearance."

But Luoyin waved a hand, and he was back to his usual look, his black hair and brown irises back in place, and his skin and clothes back to normal. "I find I prefer this look." He said, surprising even himself.
