FORSAKEN IMMORTALS

Chapter 239 - Doubts



Chapter 239 - Doubts

Bai Rouyun felt somewhat puzzled while receiving such an admiring gaze. While most of the members of the Eternal Shadow Palace did accept her after her previous actions, this young man seemed to be quite different from the others.

Although Bai Rouyun was feeling puzzled, she was not showing any sense of distancing or reluctance towards the young man. However, the confusion was apparent in her eyes, clearly showing her current emotion.

The young boy was among the elite of the Eternal Shadow Palace, and all the members knew of him. They also understood that he had been a great fan of Bai Rouyun since the first time he heard of her being different to their master, and he even voiced his regret that he had not been picked to look after her instead of Mo Chu.

There wasn’t anyone who knew why he was such a fan of their mistress, but they understood his personality well. The young man was called Jiang Wei, and he was an orphan who had been picked up by Li Moyun a few years back.

When comparing him to the other elites, he was a few years younger. Even so, he was one of the strongest that were present, which proved that his talents were above that of the others.

Jiang Wei had always been a social and positive person. He did not like to speak much of his memories before entering the Eternal Shadow Palace, but everyone could see how grateful he was to their master for giving him the ability to live a good life.

Before the arrival of Bai Rouyun, this young man had idolized Li Moyun. Although he truly looked up to their master, he never tried to be inappropriate. There was no jealousy or envy in his eyes when looking at the Eternal Shadow Lord, and from his actions, everyone understood that his greatest wish in life was simply to be able to assist Li Moyun, and use his might to help the latter.

Such ardent belief in a person was utterly foreign to Bai Rouyun. Even she, who was willing to die if it meant saving Li Moyun, was not so much in love that she would agree to anything he said unconditionally.

She was a bit at a loss of how to handle this sudden enthusiasm, but in the end, she simply nodded her head.

"Please come with me then."

After this, she left all the follow-up procedures to Elder Sun, who had arrived moments before.

Bai Rouyun treated this Elder with much respect. Even if he was supposed to be her subordinate, he was worthy of her respect, not to mention he was considered a parent to her husband.

Elder Sun was satisfied when he noticed the sincere treatment he received from Bai Rouyun. Even if she had acted a bit arrogant, he would still put up with it for the sake of Li Moyun, but seeing her treating him so well made his liking for her grow.

It seemed that Li Moyun did not have bad taste in women.

Bai Rouyun waved her hand as she left the area. She was not worried about the future of the twins. They might have managed to escape once, but Elder Sun was not that easy to fool that he would let them have another chance.

Jiang Wei kept walking by Bai Rouyun’s side. He was not speaking, but his fervent gaze was impossible to ignore. His undisguised admiration made Bai Rouyun feel very complicated.

She had never considered herself a good person, and in this world where everyone lived for themselves, she had not expected anyone to like her without her doing anything to cause this.

"Madam, I was wondering, how did your mind suddenly regain its senses? Master is not willing to go into details, but everyone says he invited a genius doctor. Does this have some connection with the new pills that appeared in the Eternal Shadow Palace recently?"

Hearing the question made Bai Rouyun frown slightly before glancing at Jiang Wei. The boy seemed innocent and straightforward. The question he just asked was also something many were questioning, but she had a strange feeling that there was something beneath the curiosity of this young man.

She had always prided herself on being good at understanding people. Their eyes could usually display the emotions they felt, but when she looked at this young man, all she found was innocence and admiration.

It did not seem as if he had an ulterior motive, but having experienced many things in both her lives, Bai Rouyun dared not explain too much.

"I actually don’t know. Before my mind returned to clarity, everything was a blur, but suddenly Li Moyun appeared like a knight in shining armor."

Jiang Wei’s eyes widened in surprise. He had never expected that the person involved had no clue as to what had happened.

He could not help but lower his head, seemingly deep in thought, but Bai Rouyun noticed his gesture and narrowed her eyes.

She could not help but overthink, as she knew that one might lower their heads to hide the emotions in their eyes.

However, to enter the Eternal Shadow Palace, one needed to swear a heavenly oath not to betray it. This was an extremely severe punishment, and no one was willing to give up their chances of reincarnation to betray them.

This was also the reason why the Eternal Shadow Palace was able to remain as safe as it was up until now.

Bai Rouyun did not show any of the confusion that was swirling within her mind. Instead, she began conversing with the young boy, and after a bit of time, both of them realized that they were fishing for information from each other.
