But she secretly bit her lips in frustration as she couldn’t remember what was this vague memory coming in mind.
"Ah, haha, sure, sure. I’ll thank My Lord for this generosity!" Xia Ruoling was quick to drap a cover in her thoughts as the piece of work right in front of her was now priority.
She can win over big time if she were to get him on her side. Because the preparation for there man- made upcoming disaster was just around the corner.
Shah Jumman’s caravan was something worth envying for other nations who didn’t get along well with the Empire. They can use him to there advantage and put him on the silver palte to offer him to the Demon God! That would be killing two birds in one stone!
"Very well, A’Jin! Get that thing for me, as well as the special wine jar!" Yun Shu ordered Nine at once as she made eye contact with him.
Nine also got the sognal as he nodded his head, returning to the resting area.
"While we wait, shall we hear the marvelous stories from our beloved Lady Xia?" Yun Shu rested her chin on her hands as she gave a beautiful smile, gazing at Xia Ruoling deeply, which made the woman receive a certain signal.
’Oh, look at that stare? He is interested, isn’t he?’
Fine, man are all the same yet has different charm. If you want it, why not just give it?
Xia Ruoling grinned as she went closer to Yun Shu, getting closer to Yun physically on the guise of starting a conversation.

At the same time,
After everyone was gone, Bai Yunxian all of a sudden discovered himself to be alone.
Since everything was already set on stone, he didn’t need to worry about anything. His belife and Lord Yun’s capabilities weren’t surreal, he could easily turn a tide into his favor.
Even so, Bai Yunxian felt a little worried, because he didn’t get to tell him about the things that was going to happen soon.
’I should go back first and wait for My Lord to return. We can talk it out after he finally stopped avoiding me.’
As he thought, Bai Yunxian stood up and exited the restroom, walking towards his destination, there bed chambers.
However, just as he was about to turn into the corridor, he bumped his head into something hard and took a few steps back.
"Ouch! What is...!" Bai Yunxian held his head as he looked up at the person, only to get shocked and freeze on the ground.
"Miss Song." Shen Xia stared back at Bai Yunxian, casting down his eyes as a corner of his lips rose upwards.
"Hello, Young Master." Bai Yunxian broke there eye contact as he panicked, looking down at his feet, clenching his fists tightly on both sides in secret.
’What is doing here?! He wasn’t supposed to come looking for me at this moment!’
"You truly are as beautiful as they described in stories. No wonder that guy took a liking to you." Shen Xia make a remark as he sized him up from head to toe. Bai Yunxian couldn’t figure out his intentions.
’Keep calm, keep clam, Bai Yunxian. Don’t let him see through your fear. Don’t let him subdue you! Lord Yun is by your side so stop panicking!’
Bai Yunxian tried his best to keep his calm as he recited the worda again and again in his heart, looking at Shen Xia with an indifferent attitude as he said, "If you are looking for the Lord, then he isn’t here at this moment. I’ll make sure to let him know that you came to visit him, I would like to take my leave now."
"I already told you I don’t have any business with him. Rather, my business I came here is with you, do you not understand, Miss? Or you are jsut pretending not to understand?"
Shen Xia’s piercing eyes made Bai Yunxian’s heart tremble, but at the same time, he felt disgusted by his attitude.
He was clearly gesturing into something unspeakable, there is no way Bai Yunxian didn’t understand.
But he had no obligations to follow him as per his wishes? Was there?
"What are you trying to pull at, Young Master? Let me say, I’m very loyal subordinate of Lord Yun, and I do not follow orders from anyone other than him!"
Bai Yunxian’s determined face was irritable for Shen Xia, his face distorted in anger.
Just as Bai Yunxian was about to cross by him and leave, Shen Xia grabbed his hand tightly and forced him back to the same place.
"You are too pround and boasting for a mere dancer, don’t you think so? Do you think that your master will only look at you all his life? That guy is nothing but a playboy! Not to mention that he even enjoys adultery! Anyway, he wouldn’t be able to get away once he landed in her trap. Do you think I don’t know anything about where he went just a while ago?"
"Let go while I am still being nice!" Bai Yunxian tried to brake away from his death grip forcefully, this one nothing more than sexual harassment!
But the grip on him tightened even more as Shen Xia suddenly laughed out hysterically.
"You are still thinking that he will come to rescue you, isn’t it? Too bad, but he wouldn’t make it back!"
"That woman, that woman, she isn’t... isn’t my mother. She is... she is nothing but a demon that plays with humans!" Shen Xia mumbled as he showed an undescribable fear in his eyes.
’That woman? Is he talking about his... mother?’
Bai Yunxian felt confused as to why Shen Xia seemed to have a different opinion on his mother after how much he was entangled with that woman in the previous times.
He became rebellious and killed Xia Ruoling after she attempted to sully Bai Yunxian, but that didn’t take place this time.
