On the way back, the carriage took a strange detour. He was about to ask the coachman what was going on, when he sensed that something wasn’t right.
Soon, a ghost-like person was sitting in his carriage.
The person was wearing armor, with hair tied high up and staunch features.
Bai Yunyi frowned. “It’s you?”
Why was this person looking for him?
Had Gu Bailu been exposed?
Prince Zi doted on her so much, it would be strange if she wasn’t.
“The Heavenly Emperor sent you here to handle the matter. What are you doing? That woman’s baby is already six months old. Do you want to be imprisoned in the Soul Caging Tower?” The person spoke lazily in the high-pitched voice of a woman.
Bai Yunyi snorted coldly. “Are you meddling in my business?”
“I’m just giving you a kind reminder. There’s no point in hanging on to old affections. You won’t be able to stand the wrath of the Heavenly Emperor.” The person gave a strange smile.
“Why are you here? Are people from Heavenly Palace Cliff allowed to come and go as they please now?” But Bai Yunyi already knew the answer.
He already knew that Heavenly Palace Cliff had sent more people.
The current Heavenly Emperor was a mistrustful person. He probably didn’t trust Bai Yunyi to handle the matter, so had also sent someone else.
“I’m here on a mission. Do you think you can keep Gu Bailu safe?” She continued to smile strangely. “Let me give you a piece of advice: Get rid of her as soon as possible. Otherwise, she can only watch the people around her die because of her.”
Bai Yunyi asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
“She survived the Heavenly Tribulation, but she still has the Earth Tribulation. If the Earth Tribulation doesn’t kill her, it’ll turn to the people around her.”
Bai Yunyi frowned. Had something happened in Prince Zi’s house recently?
Someone had reported that Prince Zi had turned the house upside down for some reason.
Did he suspect that there was a spy in the house?
“Why are you telling me this?” Bai Yunyi didn’t have much of a relationship with this person, but they were similarly both criminals who had escaped the Fire of Hell.
She committed a grave sin and was sent to burn in the Fire of Hell for close to a thousand years by the former Heavenly Emperor, Feng Qingtian.
This person was reborn after the Heavenly Emperor changed.
One could imagine how much she hated Feng Qingtian.
Bai Yunyi believed that she wasn’t here to remind him out of kindness.
“Hurry up and settle this; don’t think that the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t know what you’re doing.” With that, she instantly disappeared.
Feeling uneasy, Bai Yunyi said to the coachman, “To Prince Zi’s house.”
When the butler informed Gu Bailu that Bai Yunyi was here, Gu Bailu had just come out of her grief.
Gu Bailu looked at Feng Qingtian. “I’ll see him. He must have something important to say.”
Feng Qingtian supported her as they walked out.
When they reached the reception pavilion, Bai Yunyi greeted them. “Are you alright?”
Gu Bailu was confused. “I’m fine.”
“Then did something happen in the house?” Bai Yunyi asked suspiciously.
Feng Qingtian glanced at him. “What are you doing here?”
Bai Yunyi insisted, “Tell me first. Did something happen to someone in the residence?”
Gu Bailu nodded. “Yes. Do you know why?”
Bai Yunyi was still a member of Heavenly Palace Cliff. He knew things that mortals didn’t.
“Heavenly Palace Cliff sent Daji. They’re already starting to move…” Bai Yunyi didn’t hide anything.
Gu Bailu’s eyes widened. “Who are you talking about? Daji? Isn’t she that sinner?”
“She’s an immortal now.” Bai Yunyi frowned. “Now is not the time to worry about that.”
Feng Qingtian’s eyes turned cold. “She dares come?”
“She doesn’t, which is why she can only act against the people around you.”
