Chapter 286 An Inseparable Bond
The man smirked to himself and called one of his subordinates, "Find her as soon as possible! If you fail to find her in two days, you might as well kill yourself!"
The subordinate knew the man’s cruelty and he could feel his whole body sweating, however, he still answered politely, "Yes, Master!" After that, the subordinate vanished and quickly tried to find Yao Ling as soon as possible. He had already searched inside Crescent Lake, but no one fitted the description! It seemed like he had to search carefully once more.
If the man knew he couldn’t find a trace of the young woman because she was in a coma, he would certainly vomit blood! After all, the woman was right under his nose the whole time ah~!
---------
Aunt Yue tried to calm herself down and she just hoped that Yao Ling had smart and clever friends. If only Yao Ling had a husband, that husband would be able to feel something wasn’t right. Aunt Yue had never confirmed that Yao Ling had a husband, thus, she didn’t know that Yao Ying was actually Yao Ling’s husband.
The reason Aunt Yue said that was that once Yao Ling had a husband and made love with him, there would be an inseparable bond that was naturally created between them. They could feel an indescribable feeling of uneasiness when there was an immediate danger that would attack the other. That was why even though Bai Yue people were only a few, but they were able to survive. However, this applied only to women with pure Bai Yue blood.
That was right! From the start, Bai Yue people were dominated by women. The Han Emperor only knew that Aunt Yue was the fortune teller, but she was actually the leader. It pained her that one of her men had to sacrifice himself to pretend that he was the leader. He told her good-naturedly that it was all for the Bei Yue people... Her own son... sacrificed himself for the greater good of their people.
Aunt Yue frowned in contemplation but she decided to close her eyes and take a deep breath, calming herself. If this young woman had the luck, she would be able to pass this hurdle. With that in mind, she was back to her serene self.
Aunt Yue knew that she couldn’t let her own mind stray away, after all, it would affect Yao Ling too. She sighed and continued chanting the ancient words continuously while her hands didn’t stop moving at making several weird hands gestures. She started to use her power once more and hope that it wouldn’t attract that beast’s attention.
While Aunt Yue was busy healing Yao Ling, the trio’s eyes were glued to Aunt Yue and Yao Ling’s bodies. Once in a while, they would look around cautiously.
Yao Ying was looking intently at Yao Ling when he had a sudden foreboding feeling. He clenched his fist tightly and somehow he felt that he needed to do something for Yao Ling. But what?! His whole body became sweaty like something inside him was trying to warn him. He had never felt this way before, so what was actually going on here?
Yao Ying was confused, but his anxiousness was getting out of hands. His whole body was sweating and he even needed to bite his lower lips quite hard to regain his senses.
Lin Jian and Xiao Fang accidentally looked at Yao Ying’s face and they asked at the same time, "Are you okay?"
Yao Ying merely nodded his head, but he didn’t say anything. His heart was in too much agitation to answer them. He gritted his teeth, trying to reign in his disarray feelings.
Lin Jian and Xiao Fang decided not to pursue any further, even though they could see that Yao Ying’s complexion suddenly turned bad --- probably because he was too worried about Yao Ling.
Yao Ying suddenly stood up and said, "I need to get a breath of fresh air!"
Without waiting for their answer, he quickly went out of the house. Lin Jian and Xiao Fang could only look each other in confusion and shrugged off their shoulder... Oh well, it seemed like they would be the one who took care of their bodies.
Yao Ying was never that impulsive so they were sure that something must have happened. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the heart to leave Yao Ling all alone.
Yao Ying was circling around the courtyard while trying to calm his nerves. He could find the unconscious hidden guards here and there. He noticed that there was indeed no abnormality there --- Aunt Yue had handled everything perfectly well. But why were the nagging feelings still there?
Yao Ying sighed, but when he was going to go back to Aunt Yue’s house, he suddenly remembered something. He quickly ran to the front gates and he could see that the ordinary guards were still standing guard there. Still... nothing was amiss.
However, Yao Ying’s eyes suddenly widened. The symbols started to glow once more, currently, it was still at the beginning stage and it was only a dimmed glow, hence the standing guards didn’t find out that something was wrong. Yao Ying made a quick decision by hitting the back of the guards’ head with two swift movements.
How could ordinary guards bear that? They didn’t have any inner qi and they quickly fell down, unconscious. Yao Ying furrowed his eyebrows, even if there were no guards left, but the glow would become brighter just like the previous one. It would certainly attract other people’s attention... He couldn’t leave this glow alone, but he also didn’t know what to do.
The previous time, Yao Ling as the trigger. What about this time? Did this have something to do with what Aunt Yue did? If yes, how could he cover up the bright glow ah~?! He felt at a loss too! He realized one thing though... his indescribable and uncomfortable feelings were suddenly gone... was it because he found out about this bright glow? Somehow, he was in disbelief. However, he didn’t have time to ponder over this matter.
The most important thing was preventing people to see this abnormality.
He opened his outer robe and quickly covered the symbols up with his robe, however, it could only cover up the dimmed glow. Once it became brighter, it certainly couldn’t cover it up anymore. He cursed inwardly, but he was still looking around and trying to find something else to cover up the symbols.
He let his robe cover it up, fortunately, there was a little bit protruding place on the carving of the symbols to hang the robe and he could leave it for a little while to get something else. He was just afraid that the wind would be able to blow the robe away. There was no wind at the moment, but who knew? The weather in the desert was quite unpredictable and a strong wind could appear out of nowhere.
Yao Ying used his qing gong and went inside Aunt Yue’s house. He was in a rush so he didn’t care to be polite... besides, the owner’s soul went somewhere else, how could he ask for permission? He rummaged through Aunt Yue’s desk and tried to see whether he could find something useful there.
Lin Jian and Xiao Fang were surprised by his sudden reappearance, especially with the way he was rummaging like a lunatic.
Lin Jian asked in a pretty loud voice, "What are you doing?!"
