Chapter 1062 - Tell Him the Truth? (1/2)

Xin Lan coldly watched the two of them from the shadows. He could imagine just what type of deal Jin Ling had made with that guy. Well, if it was just that he was supposed to help Jin Ling stay on the throne, then it wasn't a problem. In fact, he would be happy if that was the case. After all, this Ye Yang definitely was a strong backer. It was precisely the type of thing that Jin Ling would need to stay in his position and not risk any harm. Just alone with this, he would be able to return to Jinde and put his mind at ease.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem as if that was what Jin Ling was really interested in. No, his mind was obviously somewhere completely different. Despite what was going on in the demon realm, Jin Ling still only cared about what was going on with Jinde. It really was maddening.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. There wasn't any chance to ever make Jin Ling change his stance on this matter. He could only hope that he wouldn't be able to find a way to get to Jinde until he was fully healed. Afterward, Jinde would be able to deal with him on his own even though he wouldn't like that confrontation.

Thinking of that, Xin Lan finally sighed and then left without the two demons in the hall ever noticing him. Then, he returned to the Yun Zou Sect to report what he had found out to his Master, finally letting Jinde calm down and focus on his recovery again.

Meanwhile, things weren't over in the demon realm yet. After assuring Jin Ling that he would definitely be able to fulfill his part of the deal, Ye Yang went down to the dungeon in a good mood.

He still believed what he had told Jin Ling: He definitely felt that An Bai was slowly getting softer toward him. That hard stance he had shown in the beginning … It definitely couldn't be kept up for long anymore. Just a few more days and they would at least be able to hold a first conversation instead of just him doing all the talking.

In a happy mood, Ye Yang walked down the corridor and then went down the staircase and into the dungeon. For today, he had brought another special book with him that he believed would make this dragon reconsider his previous choice some more. He already reached for his spatial ring when he turned around the corner only to find the cell were An Bai had been imprisoned until now empty.

Ye Yang stopped in his tracks and stared at the empty cell blankly. This … What had happened? Jin Ling certainly wouldn't have asked to have him brought somewhere else before he managed to get anything out of him. So just why wasn't this dragon where he should be? He turned to one of the guards at the side and raised his brows.

The man tensed and then stiffly bowed to Ye Yang, his back covered in cold sweat. ”Somebody came and took him away earlier.”

Ye Yang raised his brows further. ”Somebody came? Who?”

The guard didn't quite know how to answer that. Anyway, things had been complicated and if he told the truth, he'd be implicated as well. He could only twist things around a bit. ”That … I didn't know the person but he said that His Majesty had asked for the dragon to be brought over.”

Ye Yang stared at him, his mind churning. No, even if he said that, he didn't believe that Jin Ling would have done that. Even if he had, he would've told him so. ”What did the person say was their name?”
