Chapter 86 – 86. The Face Behind The Mask
"Alright Honey, I won't leave you for long," he whispered sensually into Fu Xie Lan's ear. She doesn't know since when Gu Yi has been around her.
Of course, Fu Xie Lan was shocked, but she didn't immediately turn around because she knew what would happen if she turned her head away.
Getting no response from Fu Xie Lan, Gu Yi pulled back his head. Then walked away after ruffling the girl's hair.
This time, Gu Yi was sure to teach the young man who called himself Wan Lie a lesson. This was the only chance for him to deter the young man and keep his distance from his little wife. Just a few minutes, yes he will do it in the fastest way so that his wife does not wait for him long.

Wan Lie already asked the three merchants. Their answer is the same. There was never a merchant in the place the young man was referring to. Suddenly he doubted his vision. Was he wrong? But why was everything he saw so real? It frustrates him.
Ruffling his hair, he chose to turn around and return to his mother in Noelle.
The atmosphere is not too crowded.
Syyyuuuutttt…
Suddenly something coming from the side hit his mask and managed to tear it even a second later the mask was out of his face. Showing his entire face without a single cloth.
Noticing someone was moving fast towards him, Wan Lie put on a wary attitude and with a very quick movement he managed to dodge, but at the same time, he also managed to hit that person's hood.
They both fell in the same position.
Seeing who suddenly attacked him, Wan Lie was stunned. He wanted to cover his face again, but it was too late. That person has seen everything, Gu Yi has seen his face.
While on the other hand, Gu Yi's failed attack on Wan Lie left the man stunned for a moment after seeing clearly what the face was behind the mask. By now, even his hood had been removed from its place.
Standing across from each other, the two were like twins. Very similar. The only difference is their hair and eyes. Gu Yi has gray hair with matching eye color while Wan Lie has black hair, as well as his eyes.
Silence, no movement from the two, and they are stunned.
Silent for a few seconds in their respective positions, Wan Lie then relaxed all his guard.
A rough sigh escaped his lips.
"Ahh, I knew something like this would happen," Wan Lie muttered.
"If I didn't dodge earlier, maybe now you're sorry for hurting your child," he added. His face with his father is very similar. If only their hair and eyes were the same color, people might have thought they were the same person.
Gu Yi who heard the chatter of the young man in front of him was silent, not knowing how to react when he saw a face that was almost the same as his. Child? Since when did he have children? Even his Queen had not yet conceived a child and they had separated. Who is that young man? stared coldly at the young man in front of him, trying to assess and examine the young man in front of him, hoping he could detect the various types of magic that the young man might use. But the result is nil. No magic of any kind was found. The youth was genuine, the face of the youth in front of him at this time was genuine. Not magic or anything.
Why are their faces so similar?
"Who are you?" asked Gu Yi with his cold gaze.
Wan Lie walked closer, narrowing the distance between them, and again tore the bottom of his clothes and immediately covered his face. Maybe it was because the gazes of the people who were directed at the two of them looked so similar.
"Before I answer that question, you'd better put the hood back on," said Wan Lie, who had normalized his expression. His hands were busy covering his face with a cloth, his movements were very relaxed as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yi snorted but his hands still moved slowly according to the young man's words, putting on his hood.
"I knew this was going to happen, sooner or later you two would know my identity," Wan Lie began.
Gu Yi didn't intend to make a sound and just listened quietly. He doesn't know what's going on inside him, why he looks so obedient to people he doesn't know from.

Noelle
After Gu Yi died, only Fu Xie Lan was left alone. Not, he was alone with Hao. Her Magic Beast Spirit.
Suddenly a group of people in the same robes as the one she was wearing entered the room, as a result, the group of people managed to attract the attention of everyone in the room.
There were four of them and were now walking towards the table near Fu Xie Lan which had been empty a few minutes ago.
Seeing the way they were behaving inside Noelle, it seemed they had gotten used to that place.
.

.
The presence of another Wizard in the room made the four men glance occasionally at Fu Xie Lan.
While the girl just seemed indifferent to their presence, didn't even seem bothered at all by their slightly loud voices as if they were the rulers of the place.
"Why are you nervous? What are you looking for?" the voice of one of the wizards at the table next to Fu Xie Lan tickled his senses.
"Where is my white jade?" one of them panicked. His hands immediately felt the whole body and the robe he was wearing.
A waiter brought the dish that Fu Xie Lan ordered earlier. Then turned to the table next to him to serve the four wizards.
"As usual."
"All right, gentlemen, wait a moment," replied the maid with a friendly smile.
While Fu Xie Lan who saw the dish in front of her just stared at her without any intention of touching at all. Somehow she suddenly remembered the day she had dinner with Irene. Oh, it feels like just yesterday. How is the organisation doing now?
"How is it? I didn't find it," came another voice from next to Fu Xie Lan.
"You are reckless, how come your permission jade is gone?"
"I don't know," someone answered again.
"Search quickly, or you can't leave this city," said one of them.
All that talk knocked Fu Xie Lan's senses right away.
Everyone who will enter Kanca City will be given a white jade as a sign that they are allowed to enter the city and have passed the inspection at the gate. But when someone loses the jade, then he/she cannot get out of the City, and if the guards find out then his/her life may end because the accusation of an intruder will be pinned on him/her.
Regardless of the degree, regardless of race.
