“Hoho.” Gu Lao sarcastically laughed aloud. “The fact that I came proves that I have left my life aside. For my lady, I’m willing to give my all.”


  My life was saved by the lady.

  Even if this time I must die and be buried here today, I’m willing.

  Butterfly felt it right after that statement. Energy swelled out of the aftershock from the power release, which made the woman’s cheek sting from the burst alone.

  “What did you do?” She asked with gritted teeth, that face pale and alarmed by the drastic difference in their levels.

  “I said so before, I will help my miss win her love.” Gu Lao’s momentum surged as he slowly strode towards Butterfly: “Don’t worry, no one will know or find out you were here once we’re done, and if the monarch does find out, I will take the full blame. No one can hurt the lady.”


  The female elder’s eyes turned dark: “Does Gu Ya know about this?”


  “Of course not, how could an excellent and kind person like her allow me to do something this harmful?” Gu Lao sneered, “I came without telling her anything, this is my own decision.”


  That made the female elder laugh hysterically.

  Contemptuous in the eye: “Kind? Excellent? If she really is so excellent then she should be able to let go when it’s time and not entangle herself with the monarch. If she is so kind then why did she malign Mrs. Di before? She also tried to use Elder Sky’s hand to remove her rival, what’s kind about that? This is the first time I’ve seen such an excellent and kind woman alright.”


  Unbeknownst to the two confronting opponents, the child whom one wants to protect and the other wants to kill had started to behave strangely. She’s still the cute and adorable self, but those eyes had a very unnatural way to them. It’s as if there’s something in there, something which shouldn’t belong……

  “Ling Yan,” after dropping that remark, Butterfly bows down to whisper into the child’s ear, “I will keep this old thing busy. You run first and find a place to hide, Elder Sky will come really soon.”


  Di Ling Yan did not respond to that, only staring at the old senior with a burning flame slowly growing bigger in those eyes.

  “Stop me?” No matter how small her voice was in that whisper, Gu Lao could still hear it with his ears. Sneering with a dismissive gesture, “I used a special forbidden Dan pill to increase my strength, it won’t be so easy if you think you can stop me.”


  “Dan Pill?” Cocking her brow, Butterfly figured it must be something he took before coming. She never saw him consume a pill once she noticed him so that’s the most logical explanation.

  “What kind of pill did you take?” She asked after musing over the news.

  Guffawing a laugh: “That you don’t need to know, it’s something I got many years ago. This is a good opportunity for me to test its effectiveness so accept your fate. Aside from Elder Sky and the monarch, there’s no one here that I fear anymore.”


  She needed no warning to understand she’s not an opponent for Gu Lao anymore. That violent air surging out of the old man was unlike anything she’s seen in the guy, that proves he’s not lying. Likely the pill he took was some sort of suicidal drug for a vast increase in power for burning his life force or something. It’s not the first time this female elder seen something like that.

  Swish~!

  It’s exactly then Gu Lao finally attacked with whistling power charging at the pair of females.
