After Xiao Luoli left, Di Xuanxun walked to the desk with heavy steps and spread out the book. She dipped it in ink and drew the shadow of her longing on the paper. " Falcon... I'm lonely without you, do you know..." A few strokes of freehand drawing were unexpectedly vivid. Was it because of the strong longing in the painter's heart?
Di Xuanxun put down the brush and picked up a piece of paper to suppress the painting. Then, she moved back to the bed and leaned against the bed frame. Her beautiful face carried a hint of sadness, and her vision was blurred. Memories surged up like a tide…until…
"Third Young Master." A cold female voice sounded.
"Frost Soul, you're here. Sit." Upon hearing the voice, Di Xuanxun's expression quickly changed. The sorrow in her eyes was replaced by arrogance and indifference. He was still half-naked, with a white bandage wrapped around his abdomen and a pair of red silk pants. However, at this moment, Di Xuanxun's tone and aura were no longer as domineering and arrogant as a performer.
" Third Young Master, are you injured?!" Although Shuang Hun's words were doubtful, they were also filled with obvious disbelief. She could not imagine who had the ability to hurt Di Xuanxun.! It was impossible for an ordinary person to approach Di Xuanxun unwillingly, let alone hurt him. Unless... unless he was willing. Could it be Xiao Luoli?! At the thought of this, killing intent flashed across Frost Soul's face.
"I'm fine. You know why I called you here, right?”Di Xuanxun's tone was calm, neither oppressive nor pleading.
"Yes, I know. I will follow Third Young Master's orders.”Frost Soul's tone was completely respectful.
"I've already left the Ghost Palace and am no longer the Third Young Master. You don't have to say that to me. At that time, I asked Xue to find you to see me because I wanted to talk to you about the marriage as a friend.”
"At that time? This subordinate does not understand." In fact, no matter what decision Di Xuanxun made, Frost Soul would do as he wished. He only hoped that he could return to the Ghost Palace and take over as the Hall Master.
"Before you came, I did want you to reject the betrothal, but it doesn't matter now.”
"Third Young Master, you…you've had feelings for Xiao Luoli? I know I shouldn't ask, but…"
"But you still asked. I can tell you, but give me an answer. Why do you need to know that you love Xiao Luoli?”Di Xuanxun's tone was calm, but she could not refuse!
"No, Shuang Hun doesn't have any feelings for him. I'm only asking…I'm just concerned about Third Young Master.”
"I haven't thought much about Xiao Luoli. For now, he doesn't mean much to me. As for you…'concerned'? Explain clearly!" Seeing Frost Soul's expression, Di Xuanxun keenly sensed that things were not as simple as they seemed. Was it because she had not been back to the Ghost Palace for too long and was not well-informed? What inside story did he not know? Frost Soul was in charge of gathering intelligence in the Ghost Palace. She was very well-informed. She must have known something!
"Xiao Luoli approached you with a purpose. He wants to use the power of the Ghost Palace to get Young Master Xue to help him seize power. And Young Master Xue wanted him to get close to you.”
"Continue." Di Xuanxun's emotions did not fluctuate even a little because she knew the truth. She only signaled Shuang Hun to continue. He had always known that Xiao Luoli's approach was not simple, but he did not expect him to be colluding with Di Xuanxue. Among the four people from the Ghost Palace, Di Xuanxue was the most scheming one besides him. Although he had no ill intentions towards him, he always gave him a feeling that he was restraining him, or more precisely, that his excessive love for him was rebellious. This was the reason why he could not have a heart-to-heart talk with him and always maintained a certain distance, yet he tolerated him being able to come and go freely in the Ghost Palace and the Drunken Soul Pavilion.
"Young Master Xue wants Xiao Luoli to come to your side and attract you to fall in love with him. Then, Young Master Xue will tell you the truth.”Seeing Di Xuanxun's calm expression, Frost Soul was once again convinced that only Di Xuanxun was worthy of being the next Palace Master of the Ghost Palace. Nothing would make him panic. His thoughts were clear, and his actions were calm. This was the ability and bearing that a king and tyrant should have! Only such a person could make the Twelve Dark Soul Guards follow him wholeheartedly.
"Xue and Xiao Luoli have a grudge?" Otherwise, Snow would have killed Xiao Luoli or found someone to expose him instead of going through so much trouble.
"Young Master Xue wants you to completely not believe in relationships. He thinks that this way, you can return to the Ghost Palace again.”
"So I'll go back?" The corners of Di Xuanxun's mouth curled up slightly. Humph, what a joke…No one could force Di Xuanxun to do something she didn't want to do! It was really surprising that Xue could think of such a method.
"That's what Young Master Xue thinks. Third Young Master, are you really not going back to the Ghost Palace? Without you, the Ghost Palace's decades of foundation would have been destroyed!”The remaining three were weaker than Di Xuanxun in all aspects. If he had to choose, Di Xuanxue would probably be stronger than the other two. However, Di Xuanxue had no intention of taking over as the Hall Master. Instead, she supported Di Xuanxun's return. Therefore, if Di Xuanxun was willing to return to the Ghost Palace, the current internal strife in the Ghost Palace should be easily settled.
Snow……not to mention martial arts, Snow's ability was not inferior to his. With his reputation in the Ghost Palace, compared to Xuan Jing and Xuan Hao, it should be easier for him to obtain the position of Palace Master. Why must he go back?! To be honest, Di Xuanxun didn't care about that position. "Frost Soul, what do you think Snow would do if she knew what you told me today?”Di Xuanxue had always been respectful and tolerant towards him, but this did not mean that Di Xuanxue was a good person. Speaking of which, what kind of good person would come out of the Ghost Palace…
"This subordinate's life belongs to Third Young Master. If Third Young Master says it, then this subordinate will accept it even if it means death!”Frost Soul knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.
"Why is it mine? You don't owe me."
"In the hearts of the Twelve Dark Soul Guards, you are our master. We only need to be loyal to you and will not be responsible for anyone else!”Shuang Hun's words had undoubtedly declared that Di Xuanxun was the only and only Palace Master of the Ghost Palace in their hearts.
"You can go back. I will consider the matter of the Ghost Palace.”Di Xuanxun did not want to go back, but that did not mean that there were no other ways. Now that everyone wanted to drag him into the mess, he would play with them!
"Third Young Master, there's one more thing…"
"Speak."
"Flamesoul wants to see you."
"What is it?" Flame Soul? In her impression, Di Xuanxun didn't know this person very well, so why did he suddenly want to see her? Moreover, Frost Soul had told her that she had to meet him.
" I'm not sure. Flamesoul only said that he wanted to be your shadow…"
"I don't need a shadow!" Di Xuanxun interrupted Shuang Hun with a low shout. She was very insistent on this point. The shadow…no one else was worthy of it except the falcon!
"This subordinate deserves to die, but this subordinate still has to finish speaking.”Frost Soul did not stop because of Di Xuanxun's anger. Becoming Di Xuanxun's shadow was not only Flaming Soul's hope, but also the hope of all the Twelve An Soul Guards. Di Xuanxun needed a shadow to take care of everything in the dark. Flamesoul said that he was confident that Di Xuanxun would accept him, so he could not miss this opportunity!
"Then tell me." Di Xuanxun wanted to hear what Frost Soul had to say.
"Flamesoul said that you would definitely accept him after meeting him. This subordinate has finished speaking. Third Young Master, please punish me.”
Flamesoul…the person who had been wearing a mask ever since he entered the Ghost Palace. He was skilled in disguise and ninjutsu. Why was he so confident that she would accept him? "Get up and let him see me.”
After getting the answer she wanted, Frost Soul knew that today's conversation was over. After bowing respectfully, he quickly disappeared into the night and merged with the darkness, leaving Di Xuanxun alone in the empty room.
"Xiao Luoli…it seems that I can't underestimate you! You approached me with a purpose, and I also treated you as a substitute. I originally wanted to let you go, but who knew that the matter between you and me wouldn't be so easy to end? Then let's start over! " You want me to fall in love with you? Interesting…" The dark elements in Di Xuanxun's heart began to beat restlessly. The bloodthirsty evil that had been dormant for many years gradually awakened because of this revelation. "Xue, you have to be able to bear the price of provoking me!”The force to change direction was also unforgivable!
The game would start again! How long had it been since he had the heart to fight…He had thought that he could choose to live a carefree life, but everything now proved that he was destined to live in the midst of scheming, to defeat his opponents and step on them to reach the top of Glory. Since everyone was forcing him, wouldn't retreating disappoint them?!
Di Xuanxun fell onto the bed and closed her eyes with her hands behind her head. He began to arrange every detail in his mind. He wanted to plan everything perfectly in his heart. He wanted to play with these people thoroughly and see who was in control of the game and who would have the last laugh!
