Chapter 2231: The Past Life 156

Seeing that the Ninth Emperor was still asking, Di Ming turned and looked at the lake not far away, silent.

The breeze brushed the man’s handsome face. He stood with one hand on his back, smiling helplessly.

“I can’t tell you.”

He had made a promise.

The Ninth Emperor sneered. “What if I want to know?”

Di Ming looked sideways at the Ninth Emperor calmly.

The affection in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

“I’m sorry… I can’t tell you.”

This was what he promised to that person. So no matter how Little Nine misunderstood him or how she pursued the matter, he would not say a word.

If he did not keep his promise, he was not qualified to guard Little Nine.

“Little Nine, no matter what, I have to say sorry to you. I was the one who let Mu Qingya go in the first place.”

Mu Qingya knew this about him from somewhere, so much so that she threatened him with this matter.

However, he must not let Little Nine know about that person’s disappearance.

“This current matter has nothing to do with Mu Qingya, and you do not need to apologize to me. Mu Qingya cannot hurt me in the slightest,” The Ninth Emperor walked closer to Di Ming, with coldness in her eyes. “I just want to know where she went. Whether she is still on the mainland or not… I just want to know her whereabouts.”

She did not have the intention to go to her now…

However, one day, she would go to her side.

Yet, Di Ming refused to say anything.

Now, the Ninth Emperor was certain that Di Ming must know her mother’s whereabouts!

He also knew many things that she did not know.

“I don’t have the right to tell you. If you want to know…” Di Ming narrowed his eyes. Evil light flashed in his eyes as he smiled. “Wait. You will naturally know. There is no need to rush.”

When she left back then, she said that she did it all for her daughter.

Therefore, they would definitely meet later.

The Ninth Emperor’s face darkened. She raised her hand and tugged Di Ming’s lapel, dragging him closer fiercely.

“I cannot know her whereabouts. I cannot ask where she went. Then, I want to know, is she dead or alive? Is she fine?” Her gaze turned cold. “If you won’t even tell me this, then I will beat you to death here today and let your people collect your dead body!”

Those guards were so scared that they were drenched in cold sweats.

Their master’s temper had always been bad, and he would often strike at people at the slightest disagreement, and his methods were ruthless.

Now, a girl was pulling his lapel and claiming to kill him.

This…

What was even more surprising to the crowd was that Master Di was not angry but instead had a smile on his face and a gentle gaze like water.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know either?” The Ninth Emperor frowned. “What do you mean by that? How could you not know!”

“I don’t know. If she is still alive, you still cannot find her. She will not come to see you. If she is dead…” Di Ming shook his head. “She can’t tell you that she’s dead. ”

Would they meet again in the future?

If she had already died, then how could she meet her again?

She loved Little Nine so much. She could not possibly say the words to curse Little Nine.

So, he did not know whether she was dead or alive…
