Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

380 My Master Is Cold

“You’re finally here?” The old man put his cup down and looked at him.

He was wearing a ragged robe, and his white hair was messy. His face was weatherbeaten as well.

Yet, he looked energetic and in high spirits.

If Gu Bailu were here, she would’ve recognized her master.

“This is what you wanted.” Gu Yunjing gave him the ball of memories. “You’re still willing to be imprisoned on Futu Island?”

“Those people will act a lot more restrained if I’m there. Besides, I can atone for her sins by carving more Buddha sculptures there.”

“She’ll know everything you’ve done for her someday.”

The old man had a mouthful of wine and smiled. “What about you? Do you want her to know what you’ve done for her?”

“I would rather she not.”

“You’re a trustworthy man, and I created a lot of opportunities for you. Regretfully... she’s not meant for you.”

“She will be. I haven’t lost yet.” Gu Yunjing stood up and walked away.

The old man stroked his beard and sighed, before he waved his hand and disappeared.

...

Gu Bailu and Feng Qingtian saw Miyasi the moment they landed on Futu Island.

However, the handsome prince that they knew was now in tattered clothes, and his golden hair had been blown into numerous knots by the wind.

His pretty face was now also red and black.

Gu Bailu looked at him again and again to confirm that he was Miyasi. Thankfully, the color of his pupils were the same.

“Young prince, why did you become like this?” asked Gu Bailu sympathetically.

Feng Qingtian snorted angrily, and Gu Bailu grinned at him, hinting that they needed his help.

Miyasi looked at her in delight and flashed a grin full of white teeth that was at odds with the rest of his appearance.

“I’m helping my master carve Buddha sculptures. My master said that he won’t forgive me until the island is full of Buddha sculptures.” Miyasi smiled happily.

“Why does our master want so many Buddha sculptures?” Gu Bailu saw that the rocks nearby were indeed laden with Buddha sculptures.

“To atone for someone’s sins, he said. Why are you here? Master has been meditating since a couple of days ago.”

Miyasi led them through the barriers as he spoke.

His master had told him to bring them in if they came.

Miyasi had been anticipating them since his master said that, and they were really here.

Miyasi fixed his eyes on Gu Bailu, who looked even prettier than before.

After such a long time, her skin was even fairer, which indicated that she was living a comfortable life.

“What’s wrong with master? Did anything happen to him?”

Gu Bailu remembered her dream, where her master was hit by the ocean waves day and night against a cliff.

When Gu Bailu saw her master, he was still seated on the same rock as last time. His eyes were closed, and he was absolutely immobile.

Gu Bailu prodded him with a finger. “Master?”

There was no response.

Gu Bailu used more strength. “Master!”

There was still no response. Not only was his body still, even his muscles were rigid.

Gu Bailu grew anxious. “Qingqing, see, my master’s body is cold.”

She hurriedly put a finger under her master’s nose, only to sense no breath at all.
