CHAPTER 601 THE MISUNDERSTANDING

With the stillness of the moon, the Evian City was as silent as death after the big battle, giving anyone

a sense of desolation and sadness.

On the ruins of the city wall, a woman and a beast stood side by side bathing in the moonlight. The

woman's cold and beautiful face was like an ice sculpture, and the sadness in her eyes made people

feel pitiful. The woman was Sabina.

Suddenly, a beast shadow with flickering flame light fell from the sky. Then, a figure jumped off from the

beast, and in the blink of an eye, it came in front of Sabina.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that it was Rocky in front of her, Sabina was surprised. But she soon

found that Rocky was looking at her with rage as if he had been cheated, which made her feel uneasy.

"Are you Marcia's disciple?" Rocky asked as he glared at Sabina with a ferocious look.

Sabina was stunned upon hearing that. She never expected Rocky would learn her true identity.

Besides Lance and Isis, only her uncle knew that she was Marcia's disciple.

Of course, she wasn't stupid. She soon guessed how Rocky knew about it. It must be her uncle who

had asked Rocky about her business that revealed her identity. She then asked, "Did you meet Uncle

Allen?"

"You just need to answer me yes or no!" Rocky responded coldly.

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to hide the truth any more, Sabina just nodded in silence.

"I never anticipated you to be Marcia's disciple…" Suddenly, Rocky sneered. His laughter was wild as

well as disappointed.

"I didn't mean to lie to you. It was because my master told me not to tell you my real identity," Sabina

explained, as she saw the strangeness on Rocky's face. She thought that the reason why the man was

furious was that she had concealed her true identity.

"Of course you are not going to tell me. Because you have been following me all the way just to keep

watch on me, right?" Rocky questioned angrily.

Upon hearing Rocky's groundless accusation, Sabina was stunned and she asked back, "What did you

just say? Keep watch on you? Why would I do that?"

"Didn't your master instruct you that she should be the one responsible for my exile to the Gehenna

Border?" Rocky didn't forget what happened in the past. He didn't mind about his power being sealed

by Marcia. Now he knew that if the woman hadn't sealed his power, he might have been completely

controlled by his evil power and then spiraled into madness.

In fact, what made him really mad was that, among all the places, Marcia had actually proposed

sending him to the Gehenna Border, an extremely dangerous place quite far away from home. So, he

couldn't understand why she would do such a thing, which was almost equal to adding salt into his

injury. Moreover, he would have been an unknown soldier in the army if he was not lucky enough to

have some unusual experiences on the Gehenna Border. So, he still had a grudge against Marcia. He

really wanted to meet her and ask why she had done that to him. Unfortunately, he didn't have such a

chance. Now, she had sent her disciple to follow him. It was hard for him to figure out her intention.

Hearing Rocky's reproach, Sabina was at a loss for words. She could make out that he was telling the

truth, which explained why her master wanted her to protect him. Her master never disclosed the

reason but it was clear that there was something between Rocky and her master, which she was

unaware of. Moreover, it seemed he held a grudge against her master.

"Rocky, do calm down. My master had sent me to protect you. And I think there must be some

misunderstandings between you two." Being caught in a dilemma, Sabina didn't know what had

happened between Rocky and her master. She felt a little helpless.

"Protect me? If she had wanted to protect me, she would have tried her best to keep me… Instead of

making me lose everything…" Rocky snarled as his eyes reddened with anger.

"Maybe my master had her own reason that was hard to explain to others," Sabina said with least

confidence.

"Stop following me anymore. Go back to your master and tell her that I, Rocky Bai will return one day

and will take everything that belonged to me by all means." After uttering those words, Rocky turned

around and flew away on Uriah.

"Stop, Rocky Bai!" On seeing Rocky departing, Sabina called to him. However, he ignored her.

"Why can't this guy finish his words before leaving? What on earth happened between him and my

master? Why does he hate my master so much? And why did my master ask me to protect him?" At

that moment, Sabina could not figure out what was going on. Without finding a way to solve the Content held by .

complicated issue, she gazed at the sky with raised eyebrows.

After the serious and reproachful conversation with Sabina, Rocky drove on the back of Uriah aimlessly

above the Evian City. As he glanced at the ruined city, all sorts of thoughts welled up in his mind.

At that instant, a melodious sound of a zither drifted into his ears. As he followed the sound, the music

became clearer. A familiar building appeared under his feet. He looked at the building and found that it

was the Geisha House where he had been twice and the sound of a zither came from the backyard.

"It's odd. Why is there someone playing the zither in the Geisha House?" Rocky was surprised as well

as confused. To find out who it was, he asked Uriah to land on the backyard. As soon as he got off

Uriah's back, he saw a girly figure sitting in the pavilion under the moonlight and playing the zither.

"Why is she here?" When Rocky saw the beautiful figure under the moonlight, he was amazed, as the

person who was playing the zither was none other than Laney.

At that moment, Laney was continuously playing the zither as if no one was around. The melody was

exciting, strong and solemn, like an elegy.

Rocky didn't try to interrupt her. He went towards the side of Uriah and listened carefully until the

melody came to an end.

As Laney finished playing the zither and slowly raised her head, she saw the silent people and beast in

the yard. She was surprised first, and then she immediately recognized Rocky. She shouted in

surprise, "Mr. Bai, how come you are here?"

"Miss Laney, you do remember me." There was a slender smile on the corner of Rocky's mouth.

"How could I forget you? Mr. Bai, you have saved my life." After placing away the zither, she walked out

of the pavilion and stopped in front of Rocky.

"Miss Laney, why are you still staying here? Don't you know that the Evian City was narrowly to be

taken over by the Timber Deity Empire?" Rocky asked in a confused tone.

"Of course I knew that. But I have nowhere else to go if I leave the city. So I was thinking of staying

here and leaving my fate in the hands of god," Laney answered calmly.
