Chapter 1841 “Sinner (4)”

None of the elders responded to Gu Ya then. It’s just that their original look had transformed into sympathy at this stage.

“Outrageous!”

Boom!

Gu Ya felt a blow to the chest at that word, causing her figure to shoot out into the crowd and become a sorry mess.

All tearful as she looks up at the man of her life: “Monarch… I desire nothing in this life. I merely want to follow by your side.”

Heavenly sneered over that plea, his voice intense and piercing like a sword: “You said Yan Yan wants to become the mistress of the Monarch Manor? Where and how did you hear such a thing?”

“I…” Gu Ya’s heart became uneasy over the cold gaze coming down at herself, but the woman also knew this was her only opportunity to turn this around. Otherwise, the one to die would be herself today.

“That’s because I overheard Mrs. Di speaking with Ling Yan in secret one day… she said that only by becoming your woman can she become the ruling mistress of the Monarch Manor. I’ve followed you for so many years. Do you not trust my character? Everything I do is for yours and the Monarch Manor’s sake….”

Growing red in the eye like she’s about to cry, the level of grievance would make one believe she’s suffered great harm to the soul by the mere accusation.

Heavenly growled a laugh in retort: “I ordered you to confess to Song’s accusation and nothing else. However, it surprises me that I could hear so much more directly from your mouth.”

Gu Ya’s expression instantly froze into a popsicle.

What…. Song actually accused me of those speculations?

That’s merely her guess; how dare she tell a story without evidence?

“Do you know what her ident.i.ty is in the first place?” Heavenly points to Bai Yan, his voice a frosty note.

“What?” Gu Ya appears lost and confused.

Smirking at the reaction, the man continues: “I presume you know the level of strength in the world I lived in before coming back here. She is from that world. Crawling up from the very bottom, she never once relied on anyone to reach this stage of her life.”

Gu Ya’s face became more and more ugly, not cluing in on why he’s telling her this. However, the detail about Bai Yan hailing from the leading world did bring unease to her heart.

Why is this woman from the same world as the monarch? Can it be…. they’re related in some way?

“You said she wants to become a phoenix by using the opposite s.e.x to her advantage? I’ll tell you now that even a phoenix must bow before her. So why would she need to become one when she’s so much superior?”

Bai Yan didn’t interrupt this and stood quietly to one side. From the very beginning, the demon queen had known this Gu Ya had motives towards the owner of this domain. It’s just that before, she didn’t realize Heavenly was Yun Feng himself. But now that she knows, there’s no way Bai Yan would ignore the fact that a third party wants to steal her father from right under her mother’s nose.

“Ha…” Ji Sky suddenly snickered a laugh from his spot after that last comment.

This old elder actually found the outcome to be just deserved for Gu Ya. After all, her behavior cost the Monarch Manor many lives today, some being Ji Sky’s own brothers and close friends on the elder council. There’s no way his heart wouldn’t be angry.

And then there’s that incident with his granddaughter Song. If it wasn’t for Bai Ning stopping him, he might’ve confronted Bai Yan during the vital procedure. By then, the girl wouldn’t be cured, and he might’ve done something far worse that night in which he would regret for the rest of his old life.
