Why is he here?

The man who always wore a nonchalant smile on his face was not showing the slightest sliver of mirth on his face at that moment. His severe violet eyes were looking emotionlessly at her as he asked her: “Where is Qing Yu?”

Upon hearing that, Qing Luo Yan was taken aback, seemingly not understanding. “What did you say?”

“I have no time to play along with your pretense here.”

The man’s icy voice that did not carry a single hint of emotion rang out once again, but his figure that had been standing about ten steps away from her earlier had moved to come right in front of her in a blink, his mouth opening to repeat: “Where is Qing Yu?”

Qing Luo Yan laughed softly, her limpid almond shaped narrowed up slightly. “The Dark Lord came here uninvited, barging right into my sleeping chambers so late at night to say such strange and preposterous things to me. This Temple Lord has yet to even place any blame on you and you are instead questioning me.....”

“Has she been taken away?” The man’s deep and mesmerizing eyes were staring fixedly right at her, his voice chillingly cold as he opened his mouth to ask once again.

The expression on Qing Luo Yan’s face froze in surprise before she nodded her head slightly and replied: “Yes.”

“Who?” Lou Jun Yao’s voice was deep, low, and dangerous.

Qing Luo Yan was a little bewildered as she shook her head. “I do not know.”

“What did that person look like?”

“I was unable to see how he looked like. He was always shrouded in a layer of mist whenever he appeared, hazy and indistinct. He.....” Qing Luo Yan furrowed up her brows, looking like she was trying very hard to recall how the person looked like. “It was a young man.”

“His powers, how does he compare to yours?”

“I, am not even a tenth of him.” Qing Luo Yan replied after deliberating on it for a moment. Mentioning that person, it seemed like she still felt some lingering fear and trepidation in her heart, not really daring to recall that memory, her mind subconsciously starting to resist remembering.

Lou Jun Yao’s lips curled up into a sneer and with a derisive snort, he then turned around and left.

The doors of her sleeping chambers were suddenly blown open as a strong wind gushed inside. A bone tingling chill caused Qing Luo Yan to feel a shiver run down her spine, and she suddenly snapped wide awake.

What..... just happened?

She raised her eyes and looked outside the doors that had been blown wide open, to see a tall and well built figure gradually walking further and further away, till it disappeared from sight.

——

It was not known how long she had been slipping in and out of hazy unconsciousness. When Qing Yu opened her eyes again, she found that she was hurting everywhere on her body. That feeling was worse than the pain one felt after being heavily injured in a fight.
