Versatile Mage

tried to stop him, but he was a little hesitant since they were currently on the Holy Judgment Court’s territory instead of on their private lands.
Any guest of the Holy Judgment Court was allowed to use its facilities!

“You better stay away from the young duke!” the henchman warned him.

“Mm, I’ll enjoy my bath… by the way, is the woman taking care of your young duke from the Rhines?” Mu Bai asked.

“How did you know?” the henchman blurted out, but he soon realized he had accidentally spilled the beans.
He said, “Do you have some ulterior motives? I’m telling you, if you dare to harbor any evil intentions toward our young duke, we’ll kill you right on the spot, even if we are currently in the Holy Judgment Court’s territory!”

Mu Bai ignored the warning.
He proceeded to change his clothes and picked a spot where the angry henchman could not see him.
He observed Herr Casa from the distance and the woman in her thirties who was serving him.

She had an Asian face, and was mature and pretty, but Mu Bai did not feel comfortable after seeing how respectful she was toward Herr Casa.

“I’ll change the towel for you,” the woman said.

Herr Casa was laying in the hot spring, no longer under the poison and the Curse, and had fully recovered .
He glanced at the maid indifferently.

The woman walked towards the cabin, and happened to pass by Mu Bai’s seat.
Mu Bai was staring at her from the moment she walked toward him and as she came closer.

“I’m Mu Bai.
I’m from Bo City… Xiyi is my mother,” Mu Bai said loudly as she passed.

The woman did not pay any attention at first.
However, she immediately came to a stop and looked at Mu Bai in surprise when he mentioned his mother’s name!

However, the woman seemed quite intimidated by Herr Casa and the henchman.
She continued on her way, but when she passed by Mu Bai, she said to him with a soft voice that only the two of them could hear, “Come here when the clock strikes at midnight.”

Mu Bai was relieved when the woman responded to him.
However, he could tell how strong the grudge Herr Casa had toward him, Mo Fan, and the others was, seeing how cautious she was.
Herr Casa might pick on her if he knew the relationship between her and Mu Bai.

Mu Bai was more than smart enough to say nothing further.

The snow was falling even heavier that night.
It sounded like the heavy chimes of the clock tower had almost frozen.

The chimes echoed across the sky.
A petite figure hurriedly headed toward the deserted hot spring.
She would occasionally look back in an extremely cautious manner.

Mu Bai saw someone pushing the door to the hot spring open.
He smiled when he saw it was the woman that had been serving Herr Casa so humbly.

She was most likely the only person he had been missing in the world.
Mu Bai had sworn he would pay her a visit when he saw the stars in the sky on Kunlun Mountain.

Mu Bai was still very young, so he only had a blurred impression of his sister.
He could not even remember what she looked like; he only knew she was brought to a huge renowned clan in Switzerland.
They had kept in contact with letters for a few years at first, but he completely lost contact with her afterward.
Mu Bai was worried that something might have happened to her.
However, he was relieved when he realized that the woman was indeed his sister, and she was unharmed.

“Sister Yan Qiu,” Mu Bai went up to the woman.
He was extremely excited to see her.

“Is it really you, Xiao Bai?” Yan Qiu quickly went up to Mu Bai in disbelief.

“Yes, it’s me!” Mu Bai nodded.

“I thought I was dreaming? Where’s mother? Is she here too?” Yan Qiu was extremely excited.
She was grabbing Mu Bai so strongly that he was hurting a little.

“Mother has already passed away,” Mu Bai told her softly.

Yan Qiu was stunned.
Her face immediately filled with sorrow.

After a long time, Yan Qiu calmed down.
She said guiltily, “I should have gone and visited her.
It has been so many years…”

“Why didn’t you write to us for so long?” Mu Bai asked.

“Since I started serving the young duke, they have not allowed me to write letters to anyone, in order to prevent me from leaking information that will put the Casas in an unfavorable situation,” Yan Qiu explained.

“How unreasonable are these people? Sister, I know Herr Casa is far from a good man.
You shouldn’t stay by his side any longer.
Come with me… we’re going back to our homeland.
I’ll take good care of you!” Mu Bai was hoping that she would accept his suggestion.
After all, she was his sister.
Even though they were not related by blood, he would still protect her with everything he had!

“I’m afraid I can’t make the decision for myself.
Mu Bai, I know you care about me.
You have grown up and become an impressive Mage.
I’m so proud of you, but the Casas have always been like this, especially Herr Casa; he doesn’t like other people disturbing him… Don’t worry about me.
In a few years’ time, he will find someone younger than me to serve him.
Isn’t it better if I go back home then?” Yan Qiu stroked Mu Bai’s cheek with a smile on her face.

“I’m not scared of them,” Mu Bai said firmly.

“It’s not about being scared or not.
It’s just unnecessary to provoke them.
Listen to your sister, we’ll keep it this way.
Don’t tell anyone about me.
If Herr Casa learns, he’s going to pick on me and not let me leave ever.
Your two friends are quite reckless, so don’t tell them about me, either.
I can leave when the time comes, so there’s no need to stir up any trouble,” Yan Qiu said seriously.

“Oh, alright,” Mu Bai nodded, agreeing with Yan Qiu’s words.
