XH 254 - You killed her, remember?

Despite inside a stuffy room with all exits closed, Yang Ling was able to remain calm as he attentively amended the sketch of his dream archery bow for Jing Ke to make for him.

Inside the same room, Jing Ke was sharpening the special short blades requested by the Third Prince.

It was during these rare moments that Yang Ling was quiet, and the room only had sounds of Jing Ke working on the blades.

The peaceful atmosphere broke when Jing Ke suddenly stood up and overturned the bench he had just sat on a second ago.

Surprised by the sudden movement, Yang Ling's brush went out of course, ruining the sketch. "Woah, Jing Ke! Did the heat get to you? Just open a window, no need to panic. Panic will make you breathe harder and then you will faint!"

Jing Ke ignored Yang Ling and tilted his head in a direction, trying to sense again what he had just sensed earlier. He had expected this to happen one day, but when the day finally arrived, he felt bittersweet.

His years of waiting came to the end, but he also wished it would not arrive this soon.

With his hands moving speedily, Jing Ke drew a strange array in mid-air with his spiritual energy and it glowed brightly before sucking Jing Ke in.

Yang Ling, who had witnessed everything, dropped his brush, further destroying his sketch. "T-This! A master of array!"

After realizing it was an inappropriate time to gush over Jing Ke's hidden mastery, Yang Ling scrambled up from the tiny corner of his temporary workplace and ran out of the room. He ignored the scolding he received when he ran on top of the roofs, disturbing the people below.

He quickly ran into his bedroom, straight towards his bed, and ransack for the talisman Doctor Bai had given him. It was a habit of Yang Ling to hide his valuable treasures under his bed. Once he found it, he used his spiritual energy to activate the talisman and continuously supplied energy to maintain the connection.

Doctor Bai! Jing Ke drew an array in mid-air and got sucked away! Where did he go? Did you know where he actually went?

At the Bai land, Doctor Bai was holding onto a similar talisman on Yang Ling's hand, and the young man's voice was transmitted from it.

Xiao Hua gazed at her adopted father apprehensively. Just a minute ago, the white Rubik cube suddenly announced an update of information about Jing Ke, as they had met the requirement to unlock further information.

"Calm down, Yang Ling. I know where Jing Ke is," Doctor Bai said softly.

But Yang Ling wanted none of it. He's in danger, isn't it? Or else why would you give me this talisman to contact you if he suddenly goes somewhere in a hurry without notice?

"I will bring Jing Ke back safely to you. Meanwhile, can you do me a favor in informing the 21st Emperor to make preparations in activating the defense barrier?"

Heise and the 19th Emperor could only stay at Bai land for two days before needing to return, so they should already be back at Guilin by now.

What? Defense barrier? Are we in danger? What danger?

"Hopefully not, but this is a security measure. It is better to be safe than sorry." Doctor Bai ended the call, leaving Yang Ling in suspense.

"Jing Ke is the dark beauty's husband?" Xiao Hua repeated what the system said in incredulity. "Will he help her... or stops her?"
