Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - Chapter 1773: Side Story: Xue'er And Xun'er 16

Nightfall.

The moon was glowing softly.

Just as Feng Qianhuan was about to fall asleep, she suddenly noticed Qianbei Xun's figure hurriedly speed past outside. She jolted a little and fell silent before she ultimately decided to run after him.

She kept a careful distance of around ten meters behind Qianbei Xun so that he would not pick up on her presence.

...

A white-robed young girl was standing in a deep and quiet forest. She had a flute in her hand and placed it against her lips to play it. This young girl was not a peerless beauty as her graceful features were scattered with freckles which took away some of the colors from her features.

However, her eyes were vivid and moving like the clear waters of a stream and looked as if they could cleanse one's heart.

The freckled young girl stood beneath a tree and played her instrument quietly. Several spiritual beasts surrounded her and began to dance along to the musical notes of her flute.

"Gu. Wan. Bai!"

A voice roared through the dark night as if spoken through gritted teeth. It caused the flute-playing young girl to jump in fright. When she saw the person who was charging towards her, she immediately turned away as if she had just seen a fearsome wild beast and attempted to escape.

"Gu Wanbai, try to take another step if you dare!"

The man's voice was spitting with anger like a volcano.

Gu Wanbai did not dare to make another move. She turned around awkwardly and greeted the silver-haired youth who had approached her. "Xiao Xun'er, long time no see. What are you doing here?"

"Long time no see?" Qianbei Xun gnashed his teeth forcefully while flames spat from his eyes. "You're certainly easy to find. Speak, where have those two run off to?"

Gu Wanbai looked a little guilty. "I-I don't know."

"You don't know?" Qianbei Xun gritted his teeth firmly, "Do you think that you can clear yourself of suspicion just by saying that? Those two have irresponsibly cast me aside and you really don't know where they've gone to? Don't forget that I know you had left with them. You'd better tell me their location like a good girl or I'll find a groom for you and marry you off!"

"What?" Gu Wanbai panicked. "Little brother Xun'er, you can't do this. I only wanted to accompany Master and I certainly don't want to accompany some stinky men! I really don't know where they've gone off to. Furthermore, what are you doing here?"

If I had known that this kid would make an appearance in this place, why would I have possibly come to the Vermillion Bird Country?

Once caught by this fellow, he would forcefully interrogate me for my Master's location!

"Gu Wanbai, I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to explain yourself or not?"

Qianbei Xun has clearly lost all patience. If Gu Wanbai continued to refuse to reveal his parents' location, he does not mind torturing a confession out of her!

"This..." Gu Wanbai's thoughts were everywhere. Her eyes darted around as she continued, "Your father doesn't want anybody to disturb their time together so he has forbidden me from revealing where they are. If I tell on them, I fear that your father will have me married off immediately."

She was not that stupid. In comparison, Qianbei Ye was far more terrifying than his son.

"He doesn't want anybody to disturb them?" Qianbei Xun smiled icily. "Why were you allowed to follow them and not me?"

Gu Wanbai murmured in a small voice that only she could hear, "That's because you're always hovering around Master so Master's husband would naturally refuse to let you come along..."
