375 I will stay

There was no response from King Galad, but everyone felt curious after seeing sudden changes on his face before he glanced at YuYan in his arms. "Is there something wrong?" Zhiyuan asked with suspicion. "The crystal was a symbol for fire element." He did not miss the flash on King Galad's eyes when he looked at YuYan.King Galad looked at Zhiyuan and recovered his normal neutral face. He seriously said. "Indeed, it was a fire crystal, but she also did not lie about the smell and the color of the crystal." Everyone: "..." Your words are contradicting! Everyone's face turned gloomy. Although the words sounded nonsense, King Galad is as knowledgeable as he seemed or else they won't believe in his words. As if understanding what's running on their minds, King Galad said with scorn, "The elvish writing stated death." He leaned back on his throne. "The true colors of each crystal is hidden as a test for you to determine the six path to the labyrinth." Everyone: "!!!" Death?! Everyone aside from Li FuJin was thunderstruck. Before they can even recover, King Galad added, "This child is forbidden to go near the mountain because nothing can be hidden from her senses." He keeps on observing their reactions. Without hearing any response, King Galad uttered after thinking about the possibility. "As for how you came into this world, someone accidentally used the crystals to open up a portal and lifted the restrictions." Everyone: "!!!" Someone?! King Galad's claim made everyone stupefied, but the following words directed to Li FuJin made them stunned. "With your eyes, you should have seen the real appearances of those crystals." Li FuJin: "..." Everyone: "..." He did?! Li FuJin nodded, but he had only seen the changes on the crystal after YuYan retreated her powers that covered the place. But he can feel there's another meaning behind King Galad's words. He was about to speak but YuYan's trembling voice suddenly rang in their ears. "Beautiful uncle.. I miss you.." Her eyes looked sleepy as she smiled. Still it couldn't hide her weak state. YuYan's words made King Galad look at her. His indifferent face became soft and tender. A warm fresh smile appeared on his lips before he stroked her head like taming a beast. King Galad spoke to YuYan using elvish language. His voice sounded like a cello. Watching him speak with her, she just kept on nodding in response. With a big question mark in their minds, Marlene can't help but whisper to Zhiyuan. "They know each other? Do you understand what he is telling her? How does YuYan knows their language?" Zhiyuan: "..." Ugh.. ??? Marlene's questions made Li FuJin's gaze turn to Zhiyuan. With a complicated expression, Zhiyuan cleared his throat before he answered. "Not sure.. He is telling her that she's sick and needs some time to rest.." At the same time, YuYan did not speak, but she closed her eyes while King Galad holds her head. Releasing a warm spiritual power relaxing her mind and making her fall deep in sleep. Right after YuYan fell asleep, King Galad looked back at them and answered Marlene's question with a calm voice. "Yes, we met multiple times before. I taught her our language." "You will need to stay for a week or more while I try to help her with the poison." King Galad said without giving them a chance to reject. He didn't care about the competition. YuYan's life is more important to him. King Galad looked at Li FuJin, he narrowed his eyes before he speaks in a threatening voice. "Unless you want her to die, I will ask you to leave first." Ignoring the way King Galad spoke to him, Li FuJin answered without hesitation, "I will stay." How can he leave with the fear of losing his beloved woman? Satisfied with his response, King Galad turned his gaze to Zhiyuan with a dissatisfied face. "I did not wake you up from slumber to be an irresponsible beast to this child. Have you forgotten what I told you?"
