Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife Chapter 238 Tell Us More

Though they are now scarce in number and their existence is not that well known, their customs are still intact and should be followed.

Gao Lan Mei nodded, as she never read anything related to this race even from her previous life.

"Mei'er there is a silent line between our race and to all the beings of this world that everyone respects. We may be little in number as a race, but still, no one can just brush us off." Li Mao started confidently.

Gao Lan Mei tilted her head while listening intently to Li Mao. She is really trying hard to remember if there is any book that ever mentioned about the Keepers existence that she can use compare to on what her mother is currently talking about.

Then Li Mao added, "For example, Li Shao here, Wei Jiayi cannot just touch him since the Wei Prince is not one of us."

"A punishment needs to be on a unanimous decision by at least five other Keepers before it can be implemented." Li Mao continued to explain.

This is to exercise fairness and to make sure no outsiders will intervene. Li Mao still believes in this despite her not being with the others for so long like the Wei Palace retainers.

Gao Lan Mei nodded, now understood why there are five people in the room aside from Li Shao, who is the current offender.

Li Shao snorted, "That is correct." his tone more like sarcastic, then adding, "If the others would not betray you," he stated with disgust.

Li Mao suddenly frowned, "Betray? Who are the others that you are talking about?" she asked.

If Li Shao would claim and start so speak nonsense like he was betrayed by the others of the same kind, it will be hard for them to believe it.

Betrayal is not of part of their beliefs. Not only because it is wrong to do so, but it goes against their very reason for existing.

Snickering, "Heh. It is good to know that you still believe in this race old ways." Li Shao commented mockingly.

In truth though, he is glad to hear that his father's cousin is not like those that he met so far especially after his father became a wanted criminal himself. If not, he already blew the whole place, including himself.

"Are you all not aware of the fugitive that they are trying to capture?" Li Shao asked suddenly.

Raising his chin at them, his playful nature completely gone, "You do not know? Even the beings from the Immortal and Heavenly domain are starting to arrive in the Mortal Domain. Did you not notice that at all?" adding like he is talking to stupid people.

Li Mao remained silent. Remembering the sudden arrival of Gao Tsu from the Immortal Domain. She remembered him mentioning about a fugitive but never talked more about it after.

"Tell us more." Xi Ma immediately said. Li Shao is saying the truth. Not only the families from the Immortal Domain but also those from the Heavenly Domain are arriving at the s.h.i.+zi Empire.

Xi Ma remembered Wei Jiayi's order to get more details regarding this visit. Then he added, "Do you know if this is also the case to the other Empires?" he asked.

If this is the case to the empires too, that means they are not targeting someone specific yet. They are just doing a wide search. Xi Ma would like to listen and know more before he can speak with Wei Jiayi about this.

"Do not know... Sure, I can tell you more," Li Shao uttered mockingly, "Maybe not." then he immediately added, which the rest just ignored treating it as banter from an overgrown child. As if he would have a choice. Sooner or later he still needs to speak up.
