Chapter 1618: I'm Not Obligated To Help You

Si Mobai narrated what happened between Wu Ya and Yunyi as if he were telling a story, impassively like a bystander instead of having the slightest bit of emotion a person involved might have.

"Wu Ya died, but for some unknown reason, he came back to life. And Yunyi became the one to die. He was very sad, just when he wanted to kill himself and follow Yunyi in death, a person appeared and said that he could save Yunyi, but there was a condition."

Feng Tianlan had also seen certain scenes of what he said in her dreams, it felt as if she had experienced it herself. What first appeared in her dream was seeing Wu Ya hugging Yunyi. He was so sad that she could feel his palpable grief strongly.

However, seeing that Si Mobai did not continue, she could not help but ask curiously, "And then?"

"And then, I was discovered. A powerful force volatilized me, and then I woke up. I don't know what the conditions were and what happened after that."

Feng Tianlan frowned. It seemed that the person did not want Mobai to know his identity.

"My wife, I'm sleepy." Si Mobai loosened his grip and hugged her loosely. His heart was still in pain as if it were being torn apart.

Feng Tianlan said, "Then you sleep first. I'll go out and look for the State Preceptor and ask him why he didn't get Bi Ling out."

"Okay." Si Mobai agreed as the pain intensified. He needed to rest well, or else he would not be able to endure the pain should it be prolonged. If Lan'er found out, she would compromise for his sake, no matter how much in love they were.

Feng Tianlan got off the bed and covered him with the blanket before walking out. Just as she cracked open the door, she was blinded by the sunlight and her vision turned dark, but she quickly regained her senses. She massaged her temple for a short while before she walked out.

Outside the force field, the State Preceptor glanced at Xi Jin who was hiding in the dark. He turned around to look at Feng Tianlan when she walked out. He watched her with a distant gaze as he sized her up carefully.

Dressed in white, her clothes fluttering in the autumn wind, she was still devastatingly beautiful. Exuding an air of imperiousness with a hint of womanly charm, she was undeniably a very attractive woman.

But even so, he still did not understand why Xi Jin and Si Mobai were willing to sacrifice so much for her in silence. Just because she was good-looking? He was also very good-looking, but no woman had done so much for him.

"State Preceptor..."

The moment she spoke, he replied indifferently, "I do not have any obligation to help you."

Feng Tianlan could only hold back the words she wanted to say because he was right, there was no need for him to help her. She had already owed him a huge favor with all the help he had rendered recently. She was really pushing her luck.

With this thought in mind, Feng Tianlan nodded slightly. "You are right. You have already helped me several times, I owe you a debt of gratitude. I will definitely repay you."

Seeing her attempt to cover her embarrassment, the State Preceptor raised his eyebrows. "Is that all you want? Don't you want to know more?"

"Of course I want to, but you are not obligated to help me. But if you have any requests, we can trade something of the same value." There was no need for her to help, but she could use it as a condition to exchange. She did not like to take advantage of others and did not like to owe favors.

So, if she could exchange, that would be the best.
