The Princess And The Lord

The next day Jin Hua found out the rumors about Su Miou Lin had been cleared as a promise, at least Jin Kai kept his promise but also that meant the Su Family was carrying out Jin Kai's request. Jin Hua has said everything he knows about Jin kai and he doesn't know what Su Feng's decision will be, Jin Hua's forehead creased thinking she should've met Su Feng to know what his plans are.

Jin Hua immediately walked around towards the Su family residence, when she entered the front gate the guard didn't try to stop her it seemed like Su Feng had given her permission to enter Su's residence anytime she want, not long after an old servant came to approach her, the old servant bowed his body while cupping his hands while greeting her politely "Welcome Miss Xiao, Young Master Su has waiting for you in his study room, there is something he wants to ask about Miss Su, if you don't mind would you come to talk for a while with Young Master?" The old servant deliberately raised his voice to be heard by other servants.

Suspicion flash in Jin Hua's eyes, could it be there's a mole in the Su family so he should make an excuse to meet her in his own house.

Jin Hua holds her question and answers with a formal tone "Of course, please lead the way" 

"Please..." the old servant made a polite gesture to ask Jin Hua to follow him.

Jin Hua then followed him into the Su family residence, along the way toward the study room direction they walk through the long hall and inevitably across a few maids, servant even the Su family too but the old servant told Jin Hua they were from Su family branch, Jin Hua didn't care and they not dare to stop her either as they seem respect towards the old servant from there Jin Hua could guess the old servant might the head housekeeper that had been served the Su family for a long time.

After that, they passed the main garden which he visited yesterday then followed the path through the half-moon gate and arrived at a building that was relatively small compared to other buildings.

Jin Hua saw a small pond filled with carp fish swimming harmoniously and on the edge of the pool decorated with a simple bamboo fountain that makes water drop sound, the whole atmosphere of this place feels very calm and peaceful, very different from the appearance of the fancy main garden and Luxurious and overbearing main building.

'What a contradiction' Jin Hua thought he felt the Su family purposely created an image of majesty to show their respectable position in the clan, but when you think about it, it wasn't strange, nor did he create her image as a cold and aloof woman so that no one dares to belittle her.

Maybe because she was too free while living among the Hei Shen, members she forgot how fake society was especially in her own clan, Jin Hua lowered her head with a bitter smile suddenly she missed the environment in the Hei Shen sect also her brother and Bei Li Yan.

The old servant knocked on the door and announced his arrival, "Excuse me, Young Master, Miss Xiao is here"

"Come in" Su Feng's voice sounded from within the room.

The old maid opened the door and ushered Jin Hua in. Jin Hua also stepped in, Jin Hua was slightly surprised when she saw not only Su Feng but Fifth Elder and Su Sheng were also present.

Jin Hua was only shocked for a moment but quickly composed herself down then she lowered her head and greet them courteously "Greetings Fifth Elder, Master Su, Eldest Young Master Su"

Jin Hua's appearance that didn't look the slightest bit daunted by their sudden presence amazed the fifth elder and Su Sheng, Moreover, after they see Jin Hua's clear eyes that didn't hide any schemed or malice make them believe it might not be a waste to trust this young lady.

"I will cut the chase, can you show me your real identity first," The fifth elder voice etched with authority.

Jin Hua was not surprised, more or less she expected this to happen. Carefully he took off the skin mask from her face, soon after a beautiful face showed and replaces the ordinary face from before, Su Feng was awestruck by Jin Hua's beauty, he wonder why he never notices Jin Hua was this beautiful.

"Miss Jin...so it really was you." Fifth Elder's expression warmed slightly.

"Fifth elder it's been a long time" Jin Hua's expression was filled with melancholy, the last time they spoke face to face like this was when his mother died so meeting him like this must bring back some bitter memories.

"I'm glad you're okay, I was right not to trust Jin Kai when he said you were siding with the Hei Shen sect to take over Misty Lake clan, Ha! what Hei Shen wanted from us anyway? is not like we were still the great Misty Lake like in the past" A cynical laugh was clearly plastered on his wrinkled face and it mixed with anger, sadness, and helplessness. 

Many might not realize it, but people who grew up in the golden era of the Misty Lake clan like him and the other elders should realize how far they declined from that era and maybe it was all started since Jin Gu's father and it keeps declined further at Jin Gu hands and now Jin Kai comes, The Fifth elder could only stroke his chest in resignation as he tries to accept this unfortunate situation.

"I have told Young Master Su what happened in the whispering forest, with Lao Min Na's help, Jin Kai had carried out experiments to turn humans into monsters, and not only that, before Lao Min Na combined different kinds of beasts using Beast core and some weird concoction and turned them into a new type of Beast, my brother calls it Hybrid Beast" Jin Hua explained and the atmosphere in the room gradually became tense.

"Jin Kai not only cooperates with Lao Min Na but also Wei Zu Tian from Heaven's Gate sect, and we know how Wei Zu Tian's character was, that man was known as an unscrupulous tyrant and if we compared him to Long Ming….wait, that's not right" Jin Hua shook her head "I can't compare him to Long Ming because the Long Ming I met was far from the rumors circulating at the outside, he wasn't as savage and cruel as people described even though his presence were absolutely intimidating but he never hurt anyone without a reason actually the atmosphere around the member of Hei Shen is quite lax" Jin Hua tilted her head as she recalled how Zhao Li Xin had behaved, he was actually not as scary as people said especially when his wife around.

"You met Lord Long Ming?" Su Feng subconsciously raised his voice in excitement, some people were scared even hated Zhao Li Xin but some are idolized him, but how could they not.

With his own hands, he created the Hei Shen sect from scratch and made his sect to be one of the most powerful sects in the world, Zhao Li Xin's talent was impeccable and his strength was beyond human comprehension. 

Zhao Li Xin wasn't much older than him but Zhao Li Xin had achieved more than his grandfather couldn't dream of and if he was given a chance he also wanted to serve someone like Zhao Li Xin, therefore, he was very envious of Jin Hao.

"Yes, I saw Long Ming that he and the Forest-destroying Hei Shen sect whispered, as well as all the experimental creatures there, I wasn't there but I heard that the battle there was fierce and many strange creatures appeared one of the creatures were Zi Quan Mei from the Celestial Immortal sect and  Sanguan Li Ye from the Sanguan clan"

"What, are you sure?" Su Sheng widened his eyes in shock then he gasped "No wonder I suddenly heard the news of Zi Quan Mei's death but no one knows the cause and the Celestial Immortal sect suddenly shuts down no one knows what happened to them"

"I don't know about it" Jin Hua mumbled "Maybe this has something to do with Lao Min Na I will ask this with my brother," Jin Hua said again.

The Fifth elder waves his hand "Let's hold our thought about the matter of the Immortal Celestial Sect, continue what happened in the whispering forest"

"Oh yes, Long Ming defeated Wei Zu Tian and forced him to flee back to his sect in Hwang Wu continent"

Su Feng nodded his head in satisfaction "Of course Long Ming can beat the scum like Wei Zu Tian, ​​too bad I didn't witness that fight" Su Feng looked really disappointed.

"However, the strange thing is that Jin Kai was not in the whispering forest when the place was attacked by Hei Shen and even Lao Min Na didn't participate in the fight either, for some reason she left during the attack and now Lao Min Na is in Heaven's Gate Sect," Jin Hua said in concern.

"She ran away from the fight and Wei Zu Tian accepted her again, just like that?" Su Feng's voice was filled with doubt.

Jin Hua shrugged her shoulders "That confused me too, no one understands either but Jin Kai probably knows something about it compared to Wei Zu Tian he is closer to Lao Min Na so he should know more than Wei Zu Tian right?" she wasn't sure but Jin Kai was the best chance to reveal Lao Min Na plans.

"Finally everything is pointing back at Jin Kai again…" The fifth elder muttered in a low voice.
