Ma Tian Yin hesitated for a moment, he has learned about what happened between his Mistress and Young Master Ya during his hurried journey. It was said that the two have broken up and his Mistress was currently accepting marriage proposals.
However, Young Master Ya had acted no differently from before when they met and had even referred to his Mistress’s mother as Mother-In-Law, had they really broken up?
Ma Tian Yin would not make assumptions until he met his Mistress, and Young Master’s inquiry was not some secret as well.
That was why Ma Tian Yin only hesitated for a moment before replying: “Replying to Young Master Ya, this lowly one has done as commanded by my Mistress to protect Old Madam and Young Master. However, a few months ago, this lowly one suddenly vomited blood and lost consciousness for half a month. After I woke up, I noticed that my cultivation has dropped by one stage. This lowly one knew that nothing happened to me, so I guessed that what I experienced might be due to the Servant Contract between Mistress and me. I guessed that Mistress must have been severely injured and this lowly one was injured to share her burden. Old Madam and Young Master are also very concerned, that is why they sent this lowly one to find Mistress and see if she is doing well.”
Ji Mo Ya lowered his eyes, feeling a dull ache in his chest, even Ma Tian Yin vomited blood and went unconscious for half a month through the Servant Contract. How much pain and suffering did Little Yan endured to finally survive that incident?
Ma Tian Yin lowered his head to block the trace of coldness in his eyes; this was a deliberate action.
He had heard of the news about his Mistress and Young Master Ya; no matter the truthfulness of the information, his Mistress was injured and his Little Master also died! This was all the fault of Young Master Ya! As a man, Ji Mo Ya could not even protect the woman he loves, this was what caused Ma Tian Yin to look down on him
Although Ma Tian Yin noticed that there must be more to the incident after meeting Young Master Ya, this did not stop him from feeling angry for his Mistress.
Ji Mo Ya had undoubtedly seen Ma Tian Yin’s reaction, but he was not frustrated and was appreciative instead.
He was happy that Little Yan has such a loyal subordinate that cares for her wellbeing.
That was why he did not mind and replied: “Little Yan is currently in seclusion, I believe you will not be able to meet her now. However, you can still pass a message to her.”
As he spoke, Ji Mo Ya got an Ink Guard to guide Ma Tian Yin to the reception hall.
The guards of the Bai Li Clan was suspicious of Ma Tian Yin’s identity because he was brought over by an Ink Guard.
But they did not have the authority to make the decision and thus sent word to the clan. Only after half a day had passed before someone appeared to bring Ma Tian Yin in.
Ma Tian Yin was only a wandering cultivator, he has no opportunity to enter any clans due to his past identity. Now that he entered one, it was extremely luxurious and as beautiful as he had imagined.
However, he did his best to prevent his awe from displaying on his face as he did not want to make his Mistress lose face; he also said very little.
Although the Bai Li Clan Member guiding him tried asking and inquiring, Ma Tian Yin would only smile and not reveal any crucial information.
He could not help but be cautious as he did not know his Mistress’s current situation, he would not believe anyone from the Bai Li Clan until he meets her.
Ma Tian Yin was brought to a small hall, Bai Li Ren also gave Ma Tian Yin a lot of face by agreeing to meet him.
In the main hall, the future husband candidates for Yan Lass were arguing to the point of being on the verge of exchanging blows. Bai Li Ren could not tolerate it anymore. When he heard that Yan Lass’s Contractual Servant was seeking an audience, Bai Li Ren quickly gave an excuse and came to meet Ma Tian Yin.
Bai Li Ren came to see Ma Tian Yin was also to investigate this person’s real intentions and background.
However, Ma Tian Yin stubbornly kept everything related to his Mistress to himself no matter how Bai Li Ren asked.
Bai Li Ren even used his spirit energy to envelop Ma Tian Yin, causing him to be covered in sweat, nearly forced to kneel on the ground and bones nearly shattered, yet Ma Tian Yin continued to stubbornly resist without utterly a single sound.
Bai Li Ren eventually felt a sense of respect for this man and retracted his energy before saying: “Yan Lass is in seclusion. It has only been half a year since she entered, and it will take another half a year before she comes out. If you have any urgent matter, you can tell this old man, I can also make the decision.”
