Corrupt Creations-Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Confused

Meiyi swiftly turned her head to look at the direction of that door, expecting to see her mother’s figure entering to see her. She almost jumped from the bed in excitement, but just as she saw that person’s silhouette, she stopped all her actions.

Meiyi already had a lot of questions to ask Chun Meihui, but after realizing that the person who was entering in the room that she woke in, wasn’t someone she knew, the number of questions in her mind, only intensified.

Actually, even though the person who was entering that room was not her mother, the silhouette Meiyi saw, belonged to a woman. When the door finally opened, a young woman in her mid-twenties, wearing a maid outfit, entered and saw the person she was in charge of serving, sitting in the edge of the bed.

“Ah! She woke up... I need to quickly notify the Sanctuary Master.”

Suddenly, the maid turned around and left, closing the door behind her. It was like she had abruptly remembered about one of her duties, going as far as ignoring the “guest”, in order to do it. But in reality, things related to the Sanctuary Master, had to be done in urgency; it was a must.

“Wait! Where am I?”

Meiyi stood up and rushed towards the door, but when she grabbed the door knob in order to open it, it was closed. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

.....

“What? It is closed...”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Hello! Please open the door!”

Meiyi banged on the door a few times, expecting that the maid from before would open it, but after getting no response from the other party, she decided to stop. Right when she was about to give up on doing what she was doing, the door really opened up once again.

The same maid stood on the outside and it seemed that she had something to say this time. However, Meiyi spoke first.

“Hello. I’m Chun Meiyi. Can you please tell me where this place is? And also, where is my mother...? I was going back to her house, walking through the woods after gathering some fresh herbs, but...”

“Miss Meiyi, the Sanctuary Master wishes to see you in a few minutes, so please, follow me.”

After hearing part of Meiyi’s story, the maid seemed a bit troubled, as many thoughts were emerging inside her head, but since she had work to do, she decided to cut the lady’s phrase.

“Sanctuary Master? No... I just want to...”

Meiyi started feeling nervous and a few fearful thoughts started to flash on her mind. Actually, she hadn’t guessed where she was, but the situation she was in, didn’t seem to be favorable. The whole situation was making her feel confused.

“No... I need to get back... Please, let me go back.”

“I’m sorry, but only the Sanctuary Master is able to let you go. I don’t have that power. If you wish to leave, you have to ask him yourself. However... I advise you otherwise.”

The maid started to walk away from Meiyi unhurriedly, moving towards a certain location. Deep inside her eyes, a person could see that she was feeling a bit of pity for that girl. Actually, that maid thought Meiyi was kidnapped to be one of the Sanctuary Master’s servants, just like her. It was considered as an honor, inside the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, but having to serve the Sanctuary Master against her will, was going to be something cruel.

However, that was not the case. Meiyi was someone “protected” by the Illusive Ethereal Goddess words. The Sanctuary Master would never dare to touch her, since he would never go against his goddess orders. But in the eyes of those ladies that served him, it was the only possible situation.

“Wait... I-I...” Meiyi felt like she wouldn’t get any answers from that maid and only that “Sanctuary Master” would be able to tell her the real story; to tell her what was happening. That’s why she naturally started to follow that young woman, expecting to discover more about her situation.

But even though she kept asking questions, after following that maid for more than fifteen minutes through the cathedral halls, she didn’t receive a proper reply to her multiple doubts.

However, Meiyi noticed that she was being led to a very strange location. With each step she took through those hallways, the natural light was getting dimmer and dimmer and an eerie feeling abruptly assaulted her. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

She had the urge to turn around and leave, go far away from that strange place, but from deep inside her heart, something was telling her to keep going forward. It was not her bloodline, but rather her heart. Maybe she was about to mee someone important.

Not long after she had those sensations, the maid stopped before a stairway, that led to the underground, but before she started descending it, she suddenly bowed in reverence.

“Sanctuary Master, I brought her here, as you ordered.”

Meiyi quickly turned her head to see that person, the one referred by the maid as the Sanctuary Master and when she saw a plain middle-aged man, donned in a long and fancy purple robe, standing before an already opened door, she didn’t feel threatened at all.

However, the sweet smile he had on his face, made her feel discomfort and a bit of fear. He seemed to be an amicable and easy to talk fellow, but the feeling she got from him, was opposite of how she felt when she first met Seth.

Seth was dark and quiet, but when she saw him at the Blazing Phoenix Sect outer-court, she instantly felt attracted to his charisma. However, the man standing before her, was not what he seemed to be.

“Oh? Thank you, Xiaosheng. You can stay out there, while I talk with Miss Meiyi.”

Chun Meiyi found it strange, the fact that a man she had never met with before, knew her name. Maybe, he had met with her mother or maybe, he had something to do with her being there.

The maid named Xiaosheng nodded and stood by the corridor, waiting, while the Sanctuary Master signaled for Meiyi to come down. He swiftly entered the room, leaving the door open for her.
