394 Come and play with me

They didn't know how many times they did it, until YuYan felt tired and fell asleep while leaning on Li FuJin's chest. He embraced her tightly as if he will lose her any moment. The next day, everyone was summoned by King Galad. They were sent to the middle of the forest where the elf king is standing next to a huge golden tree. Its trunk is made of pure gold, the leaves are crystal clear. It was no different from the other trees except for the glowing door frame on the center of the trunk which everyone noticed. They can't be mistaken, it is a portal. Everyone can only guess that they are about to go back in the mortal world. But King Galad said something that stunned them all. "It's time for all of you to return to your world, but I will go with you." King Galad claimed, his voice was like a cello. He wore a golden robe that fits perfectly with his appearance. Everyone's brows raised in curiosity. They cannot think of any reason why the elf king would decide on such a thing. What more is for him to leave without guards to go into the mortal world with them. Ignoring the curious expressions on everyone's face, King Galad turned to face the golden tree and spoke in an elvish language that made the door frame gleam suddenly. King Galad stepped towards the light, where Li FuJin and the others followed. They were dumbstruck when they came into sight at Mo Yao Wang's mansion in Jinzhi territory. They looked around and saw two old men in the middle of the garden. One is standing behind the other who is playing chess in the gazebo. It was Butler Ho standing next to Mo Yao Wang who kept playing chess despite the sudden appearance of Li FuJin and the others like he did not notice. It took a few seconds before the two old men turned their heads to look over their direction. Their eyes fell on King Galad but no one could guess what is running on their minds. Their eyes then landed on the young people with a meaningful gaze. Butler Ho bowed down his head, paying respect to King Galad. Mo Yao Wang nodded at the elf king before he looked at the couple. His eyes then fell on YuYan and Li FuJin's holding hands. "Stay here." King Galad said in his enchanting voice. He stared at Mo Yao Wang and nodded in response. But his eyes did not miss the old man's gaze on Li FuJin and YuYan. King Galad walked gracefully towards the gazebo as if floating in the air. He seated across the old man and raised his hand to touch one of the chess pieces. At that exact moment, a magic barrier suddenly surrounded the place. It looked like a bubble, they can see them play chess and talk but Li FuJin and the others cannot hear what King Galad and Mo Yao Wang is talking about. Their lips mouthed words that cannot easily be understood as they appeared to use elvish language. It took half an hour before King Galad finally stood up. He looked back at YuYan with a gentle smile on his lips and nodded. King Galad looked at Li FuJin but his face remained indifferent, but he suddenly disappeared followed by Mo Yao Wang's calm voice. "Zhou Ruegen, come and play with me." but he did not look at Li FuJin. YuYan's heart jumped in shock and began pumping fast. She felt nervous thinking why her grandfather would wish to speak with Li FuJin after King Galad left. "He is my grandpa.." YuYan said but she tightened her grip on Li FuJin's hands like there's something else she wanted to say, but no words came out from her throat. YuYan took a deep breath while trying to calm her panicking heart. Trepidation immediately covered her mind, she is silently praying her grandfather won't do anything bad.
