Chapter 227 - Killing Intent

"I fear that Qin Huiling and Dongfang Yu might be implicated by whoever is trying to harm me. There is also a chance that Wen Sihan will be targeted, but that chance is not very big, considering his identity.

"He has been hiding within his courtyard for most of the time since he arrived at the manor, so many will not even know of his existence. Even so, we better prepare for the unexpected, so please send a Green or Blue tiered expert to protect him throughout the day."

Mo Chu was amazed when he heard how calmly Bai Rouyun was preparing for everything. He could not help but wonder if the situation was truly as severe as she made it sound, but he had gotten used to her magical abilities, so he did not question her.

The main hall of the mansion often seemed deserted, but today it was packed to the brim with somber-looking young people. There were both women and men; some were beautiful, while others plain. There were some with big builds, while others seemed scrawny, but one thing all of them had in common was their black clothes which had been embroidered with a silver cloud on their chest.

These youngsters were all members of the Eternal Shadow Palace, having been picked up by Li Moyun and given the chance of a new lease on life.

When Bai Rouyun had initially entered the Yun Palace, she had encountered many subordinates who had gone against Li Moyun’s orders, and who personally wished to act against her, and this was precisely the reason for their disobedience.

Li Moyun had always been cold and calm, but he had been treating his followers well. He had given them a new life, and the ability to become strong and avenge themselves for the suffering they had experienced before.

At the time when the Crown Prince had suggested using Bai Rouyun as a reward, they had all felt insulted and furious. The moment the Emperor had approved of the idea, they had been close to overturning the entire Richu Empire, but they had slowly been pacified by Li Moyun.

When the marriage ceremony had ended, and the woman had moved into the palace, they were even more indignant, and they had not understood that Li Moyun felt a special kind of affection towards this newly wedded bride. For them, she was nothing more than an insult, and they all wished to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Many of the upper-ranked members of the Eternal Shadow Palace were at the same age as Li Moyun, and some had forgotten their place throughout the passing of time.

While Li Moyun was friendly towards these people, they were still his subordinates, and he was not happy when his orders were not followed.

He also hated repeating himself, so the appearance of one disobedient follower after another had truly enraged him back then, Because of this, when Elder Sun had gone to train the experts, he had made sure that everyone understood the importance of Li Moyun’s wife in his mind.

This was also why these youngsters looked at Bai Rouyun with respect. While her personal strength was below even the weakest among them, the aura that was surrounding her body was so overpowering that a sliver of admiration rose in the hearts of the experts looking at her.

They had been hovering around in Canglan City for some time now, and they had also seen the affection and pampering that Li Moyun had showered all over their mistress.

They understood that she was their current master, and they would not have two minds when serving her, but there was a difference between them acting due to their duty and respect for Li Moyun, and them acting due to approving of Bai Rouyun herself.

Seeing that although Bai Rouyun had not shown any proof for her suspicion, she had expected some sort of hostility or refusal to acknowledge her decisions. Still, when she looked at the youngsters in front of her, she understood that these young men had no intention of disagreeing with any of her decision, as long as it did not harm Li Moyun or the Eternal Shadow Palace.

"I am going to behave as if this is any other day, but I will need you to be extra alert. As soon as something out of the ordinary happens, you will need to be ready to intervene at any moment. However, do not rush to stop it; as long as no one is harmed, we will follow the flow of actions. In case someone truly wishes to harm me, or anyone around me, I want them to regret being born in this world."

The youngsters felt a sudden burst of killing intent that in no way paled to that of Li Moyun’s.

While Bai Rouyun was much weaker when comparing their level of strength, the amount of blood that had been shed by her hands in the previous life was not something that Li Moyun could compete against.

The many months of fleeing and killing her pursuers had left a trail of blood in her wake, and her killing intent had been honed to a state where it could be used to assault an opponent, and cause them uncontrollable dread.

Although Li Moyun was aware of her background, he had never told others of her real identity, which resulted in these experts being shocked to their core upon experiencing the unprepared attack of the intense killing intent.

Even someone as strong as Mo Chu felt his heart palpitate and his mind buzz in vigilance. Where had this young woman gained such a horrible killing intent?!
