When the Third Elder rushed to Chef Bao’s courtyard, Shadow Thirteen, Shadow Six, and Mu Qing had all gone out to look for Yan Jiuchao. Dawa was also about to go. When he saw the Third Elder, he was surprised.
“Why are you still wearing this face?” The Third Elder said, looking at Dawa.
Dawa cleared his throat. “I… this… disguise takes a little time to lose the effect. I can’t get it off myself.”
Not a single father-in-law liked their sons-in-laws. Even though this guy was much better than Wen Xu, he was still a big bastard who had kidnapped his precious daughter in the eyes of the Third Elder.
The Third Elder glared at him. Fortunately, the Third Elder did not forget about the serious matter. He waved his hand and asked, “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. What happened just now? Why did someone report that something happened in the outer village?”
“It’s Soul Rakshasa…” Dawa told the Third Elder everything about Soul Rakshasa finding them.
“In that case… Yan Jiuchao has disappeared?” Since the Third Elder had become their ally, he definitely knew their identities. One was the Princely Heir of the royal family of the Great Zhou, and the other was the Commandery Princess of the royal family of Nanzhao. That Commandery Princess seemed to be a descendant of the Sacred Clan and the Sorcerer Clan. It was no wonder that she was pregnant with a little Saint King.
Dawa nodded sadly.
Back then, he was the one being held hostage by them. He was extremely unwilling to get involved with them. However, after experiencing so many things, he no longer treated himself as an outsider like before. Especially last night, in order to protect him, Zhou Jin locked him in a room and left himself alone to face death. At that moment, he had extremely complicated feelings. Some people liked to say nice things, but some people only did beautiful things. Obviously, Yan Jiuchao and the others were the latter.
Dawa thought of something and asked, “The Sorcerer Queen and the Great Elder…
“My people discovered it first, so I temporarily blocked the news.” Seeing that
Dawa was still worried, the Third Elder said, “After all, I’ve been in the Elder Hall for so many years. Don’t I have this bit of ability? Although I can’t completely deceive them, it won’t be a problem to stall for a few days.”
“Thank you very much,” Dawa said sincerely.
“Is Wanrou alright?” Third Elder asked.
Dawa said, “She’s still the same. I asked Ping’er to take care of her. Now… I’m going out to look for Yan Jiuchao.”
Although he did not know if he could find him, one more person meant an additional chance of finding him.
“Okay.” This time, the Third Elder did not oppose him. “Bring my people with you.”
“Okay, thank you,” said Dawa.
“Don’t keep thanking me. It’s important to find him!” Third Elder said in a deep voice.
“I understand!” With that, Dawa brought the Third Elder’s guards to look for Yan Jiuchao.
In the other room, the Sorcerer King had also woken up. Zhou Jin was sleeping beside him. He realized that Zhou Jin was injured and his heart ached. Just as he was about to touch Zhou Jin’s forehead, he realized that Zhou Jin had also woken up.
“I…” The Sorcerer King opened his mouth with difficulty. He was awake when he entered the courtyard. He already understood that Soul Rakshasa and Yan Jiuchao had perished together. To be honest, the chances of Yan Jiuchao surviving were not high. After all, the Saint King had the power of Soul Rakshasa and all the experts who had been swallowed by Soul Rakshasa. If such a powerful force self-destructed, Yan Jiuchao might have long been shattered.
“I harmed him…” The Sorcerer King looked at his son’s clear eyes and felt a trace of deep regret.
Yan Jiuchao had long reminded him that the Saint King was already dead and she had become the second Soul Rakshasa. It was he who refused to accept his fate and was unwilling to accept it. He asked everyone to bear the risk of being destroyed by the Soul Rakshasa with him. In the end, Yan Jiuchao paid a
painful price for his mistake.
Looking at Zhou Jin, who was seriously injured by Soul Rakshasa, the Sorcerer King felt even more regretful and guilty.
Zhou Jin did not reprimand him. He only looked at him steadily.
The Sorcerer King hugged his head and said regretfully, “Father knows his
mistake. If possible, Father is willing to exchange himself for Yan Jiuchao’s life.”
Zhou Jin lowered his eyes. At this moment, the most sad thing was not that they had yet to find Yan Jiuchao, but that Zhou Jin and the Sorcerer King could not divine if Yan Jiuchao was still alive.
The Sorcerer King patted his son’s shoulder. “Although it’s not appropriate to say this now, but… your mother and I are proud of you.”
Zhou Jin understood what he was referring to. He nodded and nodded.
The father and son did not keep drowning in their pain. Although they could not go out to look for Yan Jiuchao like Shadow Thirteen and the others, there was something they could do in the courtyard. Zhou Yuyan, Old Cui, and
Grandma had been hit by the Soul Rakshasa’s Soul Charming Spell, and the Sorcerer King’s sorcery power gradually recovered. Coupled with Zhou Jin, the little Sorcerer King, the Sorcerer King believed that they could be cured..
