Chapter 127 - Summoning Li Moyun
The door was pushed open with a force that caused Little Chu to look over doubtfully.
He had long since sensed that Bai Rouyun had returned to the manor, and that she was walking relatively fast, but the force with which she opened the door still caused him a slight surprise.
"How do I contact Li Moyun?" Bai Rouyun did not even have the time for polite greetings as she saw the guard. Instead, she looked at him with worry.
Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of discomfort. Seeing her like this, Little Chu felt distressed. Had something serious happened to her?
Bai Rouyun was not a person who quickly got uncomfortable, so when he saw her like this, Little Chu was rather worried.
"You need to speak with the Lord?" he repeated, wondering how serious it was, but upon seeing her nodding her head, and noticing her pale face, he knew that this was indeed very serious.
There were three ways to contact Li Moyun. The first and most simple way was to send a shadow bird with a message.
The second was the reflection basin, but since he was at the war front, finding a reflection basin close to him would be impossible.
There was one more way of contacting him, but Little Chu was unsure whether or not to inform her about it.
It was a risky solution, and it would bring trouble to both of them, but whenever he saw her uncomfortable expression, looking like she truly needed Li Moyun by her side, he sighed and took out a small token from his robes.
This token was made from Purple Wood, and it was spiritual. When it got crushed, Li Moyun would sense it, and then he would hurry to Bai Rouyun’s side.
Although he was currently at the battlefront, he would be able to sneak away, and with his speed, he would be able to reach Canglan City within a night.
It was just, if someone realized that he had left and that he appeared at the Canglan City, then his real identity would naturally be discovered in a very short amount of time.
There were only a few people at the Innate Realm, Violet Tier, and the Eternal Shadow Lord was amongst the most mysterious ones.
Usually, Little Chu would have tried to calm Bai Rouyun down and convince her not to contact Li Moyun, but seeing the discomfort she was feeling, he thought it was a good idea to contact his Lord.
He was also uncomfortable when Bai Rouyun, who was always calm and in control of everything, looked this pale and panicked.
"I can contact him; he should arrive tomorrow," Little Chu assured her, and Bai Rouyun nodded her head before she went to her room.
She had not considered what consequences it might bring her to summon Li Moyun, but right now, when she was feeling confused and uncomfortable, all she could think about was to have him by her side.
Little Chu sighed and looked down at the wooden token in his hand. Without wasting any time, he clenched his hand, and the token shattered into pieces.
At the same time, at the border of the Richu Empire, Li Moyun was seated in a tent, observing the map in front of him.
Here he could see the advancing forces and his own soldiers’ position. He played with a figure in his hand as his cold eyes surveyed the area.
Next to him were two black-clothed men. Neither of them said anything, and their expressions were stoic as they vigilantly observed the surroundings.
However, just as Li Moyun was about to place the figure in his hand on the table, a tremor ran through his body, and his eyes widened in shock and fright.
The token had been broken!
This was a special token he had given Little Chu. He could only use it if there were something happening to Bai Rouyun that could only be solved if he, Li Moyun, stepped forward to solve it.
Little Chu held the token of an Elder of the Eternal Shadow Palace, so he should be able to deal with everything that came their way, but he had already broken the token.
Li Moyun rose to his feet and looked at the two guards behind him.
"I need to leave," he said through gritted teeth as he tried to calm himself down. "Ensure that no one notices my disappearance. I will be back shortly."
The two guards were surprised, but nodded their heads. They had been given an order, and they would not question it.
Li Moyun quickly vanished from where he had been before, and began rushing towards Canglan City. He was scared that something had happened to Bai Rouyun. He was not sure what he would do if she had been injured or hurt.
Although the time they had spent together was short, she was already in his heart. He did not know why, but she was important to him. She was gentle and warm; her personality was not overbearing, but she did not let anyone bully her either.
She had the softness of a woman, but the stubbornness of a man. She was unique to him.
Li Moyun felt how the energy in his body was starting to boil. Could anyone have guessed her identity, and the hunt had started again?
Just thinking about it was enough to cause killing intent to appear in his eyes. His heart was beating rapidly as he continuously increased his speed. He was like a purple flash of lightning that rushed through the surroundings.
He had to reach Bai Rouyun as soon as possible. Even if he exposed his identity, then so be it.
