Qing Yi had no choice but to ask the doctor to wait on the first floor, ready to call him if needed.
The dim secret chamber was filled with a faint smell of blood.
On the smoking ice bed, a man in black was sitting cross-legged, his face exposed without the mask was marked with spots of dried blood, which stood out sharply against his pale complexion.
The ice bed beneath the man was stained red with his blood.
Ye Yin sat cross-legged behind the man, channeling energy to heal his injuries.
It wasn’t until dawn that she stopped.
"Master, how are you feeling?" Ye Yin retracted her hands and stepped off the ice bed to face the man.
The man’s condition still looked far from good.
His injuries were much more severe than Wen Xiao’ai’s.
That last strike was a desperate gamble, costing him nearly his entire life.
"What happened, who injured you?"
"Wu Zhihan’s ghost came for revenge, I went to save Yingying," the man explained briefly.
"Wu Zhihan? Jun Wuyang’s mother?"
"But she didn’t have that ability. I fought with Madam before. Even if Wu Zhihan turned into a powerful ghost, she couldn’t hurt Madam, so why did you need to save her and get injured so badly?" Ye Yin found it inconceivable.
"Indeed, she didn’t have that ability." The man spoke with a chilling tone, his eyes filled with murderous intent and fury.
"Master, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Yin immediately sensed a hidden implication in the man’s words.
"Where’s Zuo Yan?" the man coldly asked.
"Left Protector... Master, do you mean..." Ye Yin seemed to understand what the man meant. Read full story at NoveI★Fire.net
Could it be that Wu Zhihan becoming this powerful was due to the Left Protector’s secret machinations?
Then everything happening here, including Madam’s situation, the Left Protector knows it all?
"He truly defied me, dares to kill even me!" The man gnashed his teeth, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Master... it was really the Left Protector?" Ye Yin couldn’t believe Zuo Yan’s treacherous daring.
"Where is he now? Bring him to me at once."
"You want to summon him to the Human Realm? Master, that’s impossible." Ye Yin was shocked.
"Why not? He knows everything, do you think you can still hide it from him?"
He had guarded against Zuo Yan from all sides, thinking he could conceal his current state until his strength was restored, but Zuo Yan had discovered it long ago.
He even intended to use Wu Zhihan’s hand to kill his body, making it impossible for him to return to the Demon Realm forever.
When he discovered Zuo Yan’s treacherous intent centuries ago, he should not have spared him out of mercy.
He should have been ruthless and killed him then to prevent future troubles.
"Master, even if you want to see him, it can’t be now, not in your current condition..."
"I asked you, where is he?"
The man was clearly unwilling to listen to advice.
This time, if he pretended to be ignorant and didn’t pursue it, it would only encourage Zuo Yan’s audacity.
Even if he could swallow this grievance himself, he could not let Yingying’s sufferings go unanswered.
"He, he, I’ll go find him." Ye Yin said as she prepared to leave.
The man spoke, halting her.
Ye Yin’s heart skipped a beat, sensing something amiss, but she forced herself to return.
"What else does Master need?"
The man stared intently at Ye Yin, whose face remained calm but whose eyes seemed evasive.
After so many years by his side, the man could understand Ye Yin with just a glance.
"...He should be in the Demon Realm."
Ye Yin lowered her head slightly as the man stared at her, avoiding eye contact.
