Ling Yun looked in disbelief as Bing Hua slightly lowered her head like that, to Yan Liyan.
"But .....
"Yes. He's right, you don't have to thank me like that." Yan Liyan smiled at Bing Hua, to stop her words.
He also understood why Ling Yun said that, yes, he did not know that Bing Hua was a subordinate of Yan Liyan.
Although Yan Liyan did not want Bing Hua to behave like a subordinate to her, but her habit, never lost.
Bing Hua nodded when he heard the words from Yan Liyan, after which the two of them headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"....."
After they had dinner.
Yan Liyan went to head out of the house and sat down on a park bench, around that bench, overgrown with many flowers that looked very beautiful.
Like a flower of light, it gives off a red glow when night falls, and dims when morning comes.
Such a flower plant, flourishing in the high level of Nature can even be called a wild plant.
If such a plant were to be in the lower realms, it was certain that a battle would ensue for the flower.
Yan Liyan sighed, looking at the moon that was shining so brightly tonight, making her feel a temporary calmness within her soul.
"Actually, how long is the journey I'm going to have? Am I going to spend my life just adventuring and searching for the mystery that's going on in my life?"
Yan Liyan said with full question marks.Obviously at this moment, she was very confused about her life purpose.
Which made her experience the deep sadness she felt at this moment.
Looking for the meaning of the burden that was once said by her mother, and at the same time about the 7 previous goddesses.
Yan Liyan wanted to try to find out and solve the mystery, but Yan Liyan could not deny that she wanted to live peacefully.
He didn't want to spend his life looking for something he didn't know at all.
Imagining Him living somewhere peaceful together with his loved ones without the severe problems he thought of, was a veiled dream of Yan Liyan.
The dream was very simple but somehow, as if fate did not allow it, to live like that, there were always problems approaching him.
At the moment when Yan Liyan was thinking about that,
Bing Hua appeared behind her. After which, She sat down beside Yan Liyan.
He was very confused, when he saw Yan Liyan go out immediately after finishing dinner.
And looking at his old expression at this moment, Bing Hua guessed that Yan Liyan was thinking about a complicated matter.
"What are you thinking, sir?"
Yan Liyan turned her head towards Bing Hua, who was beside her.
Yan Liyan simply shook her head.
"Nothing."
A short reply from Yan Liyan, which made Bing Hua even more certain that the old man was thinking about a problem.
"Doesn't you need me anymore?"
Yan Liyan was very surprised when she heard the words from Bing Hua.
"What do you mean?" Yan Liyan was astonished by the intent of Bing Hua's question earlier.
"My point is, Master always keeps matters to yourself, and always hides them from me. So I presume, if you don't need a subordinate like me anymore."
Bing looked at Yan Liyan with a sad and disappointed expression.
"You're misunderstanding, I still need you so much."
"Then, why are you hiding your problems from me?!" bing Hua asked, and unconsciously now came tears from her eyes.
For the first time Bing Hua cried since the death of her father and mother, And this time, She cried because she felt so disappointed in Yan Liyan.
"Because I love you."
Briefly replied Yan Liyan.
Bing Hua was speechless, when she heard the reply from Yan Liyan, the feeling of sadness and disappointment that she felt earlier seemed to disappear.
Yan Liyan continued, stating her reason and feelings to Bing Hua directly.
"...."
While Ling Yun and Ling Fang who were on top of the balcony, noticed the two of them from earlier.
"Sad... Wasn't he too late to express his feelings directly." Ling Yun chuckled in annoyance, as he thought Yan Liyan was very insensitive towards Bing Hua.
Ling Fang was perplexed when he saw his brother clucking in such an annoyance.
"What's wrong with you brother?"
"It's none of your child's business, so shut up!" Ling Yun said coldly, thus making Ling Fang bewildered as well as horrified when he saw his Brother.
"What's my mistake?" muttered Ling Fang, then walked towards the house.Yes, of course he knew the meaning of his brother's cold words.
While Yan Liyan only smiled when she saw Bing Hua being silent, of course she was very understanding of what Bing Hua was feeling at this moment.
"What's Bing Hua? why are you just quiet?"
"No. I-I'm fine, sir." Bing Hua was extremely nervous when answering Yan Liyan's question.
"Master? Why are you still calling me that after you just heard what I said?" Yan Liyan was astonished with Bing Hua.
What's that habit, it's hard to get rid of?
Hearing the question from Yan Liyan, Bing Hua fell silent for a moment, then..
"I'm sorry, Liyan'gege." Bing Hua said with a flushed face as well as being extremely nervous.
While Yan Liyan only smiled, when she heard the remark from Bing Hua.
Yan Liyan then stroked the top of the head from Bing Hua.
"It's okay Hua'er, I've forgiven you."
Bing Hua smiled sincerely when she heard that, a smile that Yan Liyan had never seen before,
That smile always hides behind a cold, expressionless face.
Seeing that smile, made Yan Liyan determined to continue protecting her, and resolve her problem and after that, She wanted to live quietly together with Bing Hua.
At least like that, what Yan Liyan thought about her new life goal.
"........."
Somewhere, where darkness is covering the whole place.
There was a male figure, standing looking at a crystal fragment in his hand.
"Sad.. That crow is completely useless! I haven't even told him to do a bigger mission and he's dead? you are useless!!" muttered that figure with anger.
That figure, Sighing for a moment to control his emotions.
After which, the figure made a hand seal.
There appeared a magpie-shaped crow around it, along with ancient runes surrounding the pattern.
Wuss...
Then came out a red light, in that pattern, and appeared 5 ravens with a very large size in that pattern.
The 5 crows gave off a dense aura of darkness from within their bodies.
The 5 crows, then kneeled to the figure who called them.
"We're ready to do your bidding, sir."
The figure only nodded when it heard their words.
"Baikla, your mission is to infiltrate the territory of the human race or the Elves, and seek out some very useful information such as the state of the two territories, and eliminate anyone who obstructs your mission!!"
The five crows only nodded when they heard the command of the figure.
"All right!!"
After that they flew towards the territory of the two races, to carry out orders from their master.
