688 : The One who Took the Blame

Chapter 688

The One Who Took the Blame
Translated by Crystal of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Once the Mage Assemblage was over, a month of peace finally came to the TongTian Continent. But it was just a month. Like a pot of oil, in the beginning, the heat was slow to rise, but once it reached boiling point, the heat would be able to burn someone’s skin off.

That was situation in the TongTian Continent.

In that month, You XiaoMo wasn’t in a hurry to refine pills. Once his dimension evolved, some drastic changes occurred and he needed to refurbish a lot of it. Like the wooden cabin and his yard, even the magic herb field, as if it grew legs, extended down to the hill. Since he wasn’t sure if the distribution of the magic herb field was like before, he needed to double check on the plants.

What he didn’t know, as he was busy taking care of his dimension, was that the Southern Continent had reached its boiling point.

Everyday, Ling Xiao was either in the palace or by the Weeping Ghost Shore. Most of the time, he was there to hear Tian Dao’s report only if there was something they couldn’t resolve or needed a hand on did he go out. However, most outings didn’t last more than a few days, and sometimes he would be back on time for dinner.

But, every since he found out about his true origins, he hadn’t once went to find Lin Gu.

Since Lin Gu knew of Lin Ming’s pretense of being the Qilin Lord for many years, Lin Ming must have already told him about their conversation, thus it was likely that Lin Gu was waiting of Ling Xiao to find him. After he realized that Ling Xiao didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so, he had discretely and not-so-discreetly asked Tian Dao to find out Ling Xiao’s thoughts on the matter. It had been at least ten times.

Today, Ling Xiao was caught red-handed by Tian Dao at the Weeping Ghost Shore.

“Young master, there’s something I want to talk about, do you have the time?” Tian Dao walked over, with his normal, solemn face.

Ling Xiao looked up to check the sun’s location, it was almost sundown, and replied, “Not really.”

Tian Dao went silent before continuing, “It’s important.”

Ling Xiao didn’t shift, he said that last, last time as well. For somethings getting fooled once was enough, there was no way he was going to get fooled again. Even the last time it wasn’t because he was careless but because every time Tian Dao came to him it was to report something serious.

“As an intelligence personnel, you shouldn’t lie.” Ling Xiao replied calmly.

Tian Dao was still expressionless as he said, “Thank you, young master for your warning, Tian Dao will keep it in mind at all times. I won’t make the same mistake twice.” He was also stressed, to not be trusted by his young master, but above his head loomed his previous master, that was even more stressful. Being stuck between them meant he didn’t look good on both sides.

Ling Xiao’s obsidian eyes stared at him for a while, as if to check if he was lying or not. At last, he barely believed him and followed him to the Smile Pavilion.

In the Smile Pavilion, Tian Dao took out the most recent information gained by the Weasel Beast.

This time, it was about the South Continent. Before their partnership with the Weasel Beast, although the informants of the Weeping Ghost Shore were pretty good, it was limited to Xi Jing. As for the places outside, they usually received the information much later, sometimes three or four days after. But every since they had the Weasel Beast’s power, the could hear everything the day of.
