20 Gone (1/2)

”It's ok. I know. There is no going back. I choose to believe in him.” You Ye said without looking back, her eyes tearing up.

”Brother Ye will be ok, he's a monster after all. Let's go!” Chu Xian said, laughing afterwards.

”I just hope Xiao Wu didn't turn the situation for the worse. Otherwise, I'm afraid Brother Ye will be hunted by his own country.” Li Qi warned both of them. They needed to understand the situation accurately.

”Then...” You Ye seemed to get the message Li Qi wanted to transmit.

”Xiao Wu didn't see what happened to us after all. We will fabricate a story just in case Xiao Wu made things difficult for Brother Ye, we will maintain our relationship secret.” Li Qi explained his plan to them.

”Bu..”

”Drop it, Sister You. Li Qi is right. We can't help Brother Ye if they associate Brother Ye with us. We don't have high support within the Sects, so we need to get stronger for his sake if something goes wrong. I doubt your mother's influence could cover us, Sister You. The only problem is them.” Chu Xian waved towards Shu Er and Shu Yi.

Li Qi gritted his teeth ”I don't have any idea for them...”

Biting her lips, You Ye made her mind. Two tokens appeared on her hands.

”Enslave!” She shouted.

The two tokens radiated a red light, flying towards Shu Er and Shu Yi. Both tokens placed themselves at their hearts' position, their shining red light stopped suddenly and several seconds later, both tokens turned into dust.

This was not the first time the three of them had seen how people got enslaved. They had also seen what happened when the process failed. But that was a first. Never had the Enslaving Tokens turned into dust. The tokens You Ye used were enough to enslave a Core Foundation cultivator, and both girls on the floor couldn't defend themselves. There was no Qi fluctuation, the tokens could be destroyed with Qi, it was quite easy. That's why people needed to be unconscious to be enslaved. What exactly happened?

You Ye turned to look at Li Qi with pleading eyes.

”I don't know Sister You...” Li Qi said, lowering his head.

”This is troublesome... Perhaps nothing will happen to them?” Chu Xian said.

The three of them discussed about what to do with Ye Bai's maids. You Ye was getting crazier with each moment, none of the solutions they found had a good ending for Shu Er and Shu Yi. After so much time spent talking, they understood the chances for Xiao Wu to tell everything about Ye Bai were too high. If they failed to protect his maids, how would they dare look again into his eyes?
