For the next period of time, Xing Yuan would bring all sorts of pastries to find her sister in the park at noon every day. Their relationship also advanced by leaps and bounds, and they were at least intimately close when they were together.
Xing Yuan thought it would be nice if the world could just stay like this, guarding her sister forever! But one day, the peaceful days were still broken.
This day, when Xing Yuan went to find her sister as usual, she waited until sunset without seeing her. A hint of anxiety appeared in Xing Yuan's eyes. Her sister would not break an appointment for no reason; something must have happened!
Xing Yuan urgently summoned the vampires in the imperial capital to help inquire about Yuan Wen Yue's whereabouts. Finally, she learned from Bu La Si that Yuan Wen Yue had entered the vampire world. Xing Yuan hastily instructed Bu La Si not to tell anyone else, and then rushed back to the vampire world herself.
While Xing Yuan was anxiously trying to find her sister, Yuan Wen Yue was already on her way to the vampire world.
Yuan Wen Yue did not break her appointment unintentionally; she had simply received news from her father, who had been missing for many days. She was attending classes at the Imperial Academy that day when Wei Mu, a long-time friend of her father, suddenly found her and told her a piece of terrible news.
Wei Mu and Yuan Shi Lin had recently received orders from the Imperial Emperor to infiltrate the vampire world and investigate the internal situation of the vampires. They led more than a dozen people, all elites of the empire, but for some reason, as soon as they entered the territory of a small vampire clan, they were surrounded by many vampires.
Even though they tried their best to break through, they were ultimately outnumbered. As their teammates fell one by one, Yuan Shi Lin suddenly used a secret technique on Wei Mu when he was not paying attention to enemy killing, and sent him out.
Wei Mu did not want to let down his friend's painstaking efforts and quickly returned to the imperial capital to report the matter to His Majesty. Wen Bai Xin was immediately furious, believing that there was a spy in the empire. However, given Yuan Shi Lin's special status, the top priority was to rescue him.
Wen Bai Xin immediately summoned the High Priest into the palace to discuss countermeasures. "High Priest, what is your plan for this matter?" Wen Bai Xin asked kindly.
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, they should not harm His Grace the Duke for the time being. Why don't we plan carefully before going to rescue the Duke?" the High Priest said with a calm expression.
Wen Bai Xin frowned, "High Priest, the Duke is, after all, a Duke of our empire. If this matter is left unattended, it will surely cause criticism! Moreover, the Vampire Guild has many talented individuals, and I believe someone can rescue the Duke." Wen Bai Xin flattered him subtly.
The High Priest hesitated for a moment, saying, "I naturally have to give face to Your Majesty, but if this is a trick by the vampires to lure the enemy away, how can the empire's safety be guaranteed?"
"How about this, I will have Captain Ya from the guild accompany you, and the others will be chosen by Your Majesty. This would be a plan that benefits both sides!" In the eyes of the High Priest, nothing was more important than preventing that Vampire King from recovering. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Wen Bai Xin cursed the old fox inwardly, but outwardly he appeared to agree, saying, "Then I will trouble the High Priest to notify Captain Ya. We will depart tonight. I also trouble the High Priest to keep the news hidden. Only those participating in this operation will know the detailed information."
The High Priest nodded, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, your old servant will make proper arrangements."
After the High Priest left, Wen Bai Xin summoned Wei Mu, "Old Wei! Go to the Imperial Academy and bring Wen Yue here! The vampire castle has many mechanisms. With Yuan Yue, you can find Shi Lin's whereabouts."
Then Wen Bai Xin handed Wei Mu a pure white jade bracelet, "I obtained this item by chance. It can shield the wearer's aura. Wen Yue has a special constitution, so have her wear it."
Wei Mu nodded and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
Wen Bai Xin's expression instantly turned grim. He only said he would conceal her aura, so why did it become a gift to her? However, as an emperor, once his words were spoken, he could not go back on them, so he could only accept it as a gift.
The moment Wei Mu lowered his head, the coldness in his eyes subsided. Wen Bai Xin detested anyone stronger than him. If it weren't for Brother Yuan's strength and the rise of the vampire lineage, he would really suspect that he was involved in this matter.
Wei Mu put away the jade bracelet and no longer hesitated. He turned and went to the Imperial Academy to find Yuan Wen Yue and informed her of the cause and effect of the matter.
Although Yuan Wen Yue had resented her father, he was also her only relative in the world, and she did not want to see him in danger. After returning home, she hastily packed some things and went with Wei Mu to Ya's house.
During this time, Bu La Si and Ya Xin's relationship had also progressed further. Although Bu La Si had not told Ya Xin his true identity, he had developed feelings for his prey beyond that of a hunter during their daily interactions. He had fallen in love with his prey.
When Yuan Wen Yue went to Ya's house this time, Ya Xin happened to be bringing Bu La Si to meet her brother. Ya Feng Yu looked at his sister with a headache. How long had they known each other? And they were already planning to get married.
Facing her brother's questioning, Ya Xin firmly held Bu La Si's hand, "Brother, before I met Las, I had never liked someone as much as I do now. I fell for him the moment I saw him, so please, brother, fulfill our wish."
Ya Feng Yu felt that his sister was too young and inexperienced, and had likely been deceived by this brat. He turned and gave Bu La Si a threatening look.
Bu La Si stepped forward, met Ya Feng Yu's gaze, and said earnestly, "Brother, I know you think I'm too young and worry that I won't be able to take responsibility, but please rest assured, Ya Xin is the first girl I've cared about in my life, and I am willing to protect her with my life."
Listening to each other's heartfelt confessions, they held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, appearing so moved that they wished they could die for each other. Just as Ya Feng Yu felt like a wicked mother-in-law breaking up a loving couple, a servant walked in.
"Master, there are guests visiting."
"Please invite them in quickly!" Ya Feng Yu said hastily. No matter who the visitor was, Ya Feng Yu was happy that someone could save him from his predicament.
Upon seeing the two people entering, Ya Feng Yu remembered the message he had received from the High Priest earlier. But before he could say anything, Ya Xin, who had long disliked Yuan Wen Yue, spoke up, "Isn't this the top student from our class? What are you doing at our house?"
Yuan Wen Yue said calmly, "I'm not here for you, I'm here for Captain Ya."
"You..." Anger appeared on Ya Xin's face. Bu La Si, who had unintentionally noticed Yuan Wen Yue's close relationship with his king, quickly stopped her.
Ya Feng Yu also expressed his displeasure and advised, "Ah Xin, you must not be rude to guests."
Angry, Ya Xin turned and ran out. Bu La Si gave everyone a standard apologetic smile and then quickly chased after Ya Xin.
Ya Feng Yu looked helplessly at the two people who had left one after another and said apologetically, "Ah Xin has been spoiled by me since she was young. I apologize for making you two witness this."
