With great difficulty, the fox princess turned to face the disciple cultivator .

"When you leave for the fox clan, are you returning anytime soon?"

Yan Xuequi didn't want to get her hopes up when Lin Cheng asked about her possible return to the mortal realm .

"I promised my Aunt and her family to return soon, after I have settled the affairs of my clan . As the next in line, since my grandfather had no sons except for my mother and Aunt Hairong . Grandfather's power is not as they were, this is why I may need to take over from him as the next ruler of the fox clan . "

"What happened to your mother?"

"Mother's powers is not strong enough to bear the responsibility as the next ruler should grandfather decide to step down or pa.s.s the thorn to one that has the attributes that is needed to rule the clan . "

"Your parents, are they living with you at the fox clan fortress?"

"Mother and father have a separate lodging away from the Yan royal family, they live at the far end of the fortress where there is less activity and it is more peaceful, away from the fox people . While, I as a member of the royal family stay at the center of the fortress . We all know our place and none that isn't royal dare venture to the core of the fortress . "

"Do they visit you often?"

"Father isn't of royal blood which is why he can't visit me with mother, but I go to see them, at times mother visits me alone . "

"When you leave here you will be going back to resume your duties as princess of the fox clan . "

It wasn't posed as a question, but was meant to find out if she had other things planned .

"Yes and I'll be there until when grandfather doesn't have need of me . "

"I bid you farewell, Princess Yan Xuequi . "

"Farewell Lin Cheng . "

Lin Cheng noticed that she didn't make reference to his sect, unlike when they first met . That made him think that she was now seeing him in a better light .

Just like that, she went out through the same way she came in, although she already told him that she can pa.s.s through things, it still make the disciple cultivator very surprised when he saw her go through his door .

When he felt within him that she was probably gone for good, did he finally allow himself to relieve the emotion that dwelt within . His hand formed into a tight fist behind his back, as the smile he held while she was there fell flat .

"She's only the fox princess and would never be anything more!"

Lin Cheng tried to convince himself that the feelings he was slowly developing for Yan Xuequi would never be anything but that, he didn't want to accept that she held a special place in his heart .

That explains why I didnt know when you came in . Youve had your back turned to me for some time now, if you dont mind, but can I see your face?
