The Princess And The Lord

Inside their room the conversation continues, Lory eating her lunch, of course, it's a lunch box from her spatial ring, Lory might a gifted people who have so many talents but cooking is not one of them, so it's to be expected the precious spatial ring become her personal pantry and wardrobe.

"You know what, I was a relief when I know Nan Yu Qi reason is" Lory close her finished bento box then she sips her tea and continues, "I thought she would be cold and calculative like Lao Min Na but turns out she only act like a normal teenager"

Zhao Li Xin who already been pacified completely by Lory is sit in their small dining room while drinking his wine "She is a shameless woman, you should not learn anything from her" scoffed at Nan Yu Qi behavior in disgusted. Is there anything he hated more than an actual woman is an unfaithful woman.

Lory was chuckled "Come on dear, don't be so hard on her she just adolescent woman who still not figure it out what she wants in this life" this is not the first time Lory met with an indecisive teenager, too bad people in this world are expected to mature so fast.

"Why are you not worry?" Zhao Li Xin sulk.

Lory raised her eyebrows "Should I be worry?" she questions him back.

Zhao Li Xin sigh as he answers "No…" he eager to see Lory jealous again.

"Is not like I'm not angry, it bothers me when other women claim my husband but I know it's not your fault" Lory prop her chin on the table.

"You don't blame me?" Zhao Li Xin didn't know should he feel happy or sad to have a magnanimous wife.

"Yeah, just look at you, you dark, pleasing on the eyes, irresistible although having too much of it, is not good for your health but people could resist you" Lory nod her head while contemplating then suddenly she hit the table excitedly "You know what? you like sweet and sour pork ribs!" 

"...…." Zhao Li Xin didn't know how to respond "You like sweet and sour pork ribs?" with a blank look he asked.

Lory grinned while rubbing her stomach "I just have it for today"

"Okay…." He looks down and sips his wine again while pondering.

'No one told him that before...sounds good'

At midnight, Zhao Li Xin secretly meeting with Mong Gui, because the cloud city location is near the top of the mountain so it's easy to find woodland all over the city, Zhao Li Xin leans on the big tree when Mong Gui appears, his face looks pale because of Zhao Li Xin violent kick. Mong Gui winced slightly when he kneeled on the floor. he accepts his fault for not protecting young madam but instead leaving her behind to report to his Lord first. 

Everyone has warned him that the young madam safety is more important than anything but Mong Gui decide to report Zhao Li Xin because he doesn't want to spoil the plan they had planned carefully. Because of that, he jeopardizes the madam safety, thankfully the young madam is unharmed if something happened with her even his life would unable compensate the madam life. 

Zhao Li Xin's face remains indifferent "You know your mistake" he coldly said.

"Yes Milord, next time I will not leave young madam side and protect her with my life," said Mong Gui in regret.

"In the worst situation you can lit up the flare to send me the signals," said Zhao Li Xin again.

"That means we will face them, head-on milord?" Mong Gui stunned, are they gonna abandoned their plan for young madam.

"You have a problem with that?" Zhao Li Xin glared at Mong Gui with threatening looks.

"No, of course not Milord!" he shakes his head profusely. Mong Gui feel a shiver down to his spine, his back drenched from cold sweat he did not dare to look up. 

"Is there any other news?" he suddenly shift the conversation nonchalantly.

Mong Gui need a few seconds to respond "Ye..yes Milord, I already send the news to Bu Gi and the others so they would arrive at the cloud city tomorrow morning, also I found something weird inside Chen family study room, I don't know if this important or not but I make a copy and let Milord make a decision" Mong Gui take out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, then he hands it to Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin open the bamboo lit and take out the scroll, it was a blueprint of the Xie family house but the map is focused on the secluded room where Xie Hua Ling cultivate. Zhao Li Xin's faces become tense as he examined the map further. Turns out the room has a connecting tunnel to the underground of the forbidden library.

 "Did you check the room in Xie family residence?" Zhao Li Xin asks while his eyes remain on the map.

"I'm sorry milord, I unable to enter, even though I can enter the Xie family manor but it's different when it comes to cultivating room, that place is highly guarded by Xie family shadow guard and also multiple layers of an array, I can't enter without make them alert" Mong Gui feel embarrassed when he admits his lack of ability.

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin become silent, it was dawned to him that Xie Hua ling is hiding something but what he's hiding is a big question, and if this map in the Chen family study room, how much more the Chen family knew and how many more knew about this?

He rolled back the scroll and put it back inside the bamboo tube then he store it inside his ring "Watch the Xie family from now on when Mong ki and Mong Yi arrived you can use them to help you"

"Yes, milord" Mong Gui cupped his fist firmly.

"Here, heal your wound!" Zhao Li Xin throws a jade bottle to Mong Gui.

He catches the jade bottle in reflex, he was stunned when he realizes what inside his hand. His Lord just give him a bunch of pills to heal his wound he feel very grateful for his Lord benevolence, who said his Lord is cruel and savaged, the truth is his Lord is only strict and firm when they make mistake he would punish them but if they do a great job his Lord will reward them.

"Thank you, Milord!" Mong Gui exclaimed. This pill not only heals the new wound it also heal his old wound and scar and clear his veins so it becomes easier to increase his cultivation. Mon Gui was so happy he doesn't mind accept more kicked from Zhao Li Xin.

Suddenly they hear rustles, both Zhao Li Xin and Mong Gui exchanged quick glance then Mong Gui take a leap and hide behind the thick branch. Not long after a man with shabby dark grey robes appears, Zhao Li Xin recognizes him as Mo Ning Yuan right-hand man. Zhao Li Xin uses to not pay attention to other people but because this man have 'special' relationship with Mo Ning Yuan he begins to pay more attention to Mo Ning Yuan subordinated.

To be honest Mo Ning yuan subordinated is not bad, he has a sturdy body, the strong Qi flow around him it means he quite talented, Zhao Li Xin guessed this subordinated is not pale compare to Mong Ki and Mong Yi, he begins to wonder if Mo Ning yuan use her subordinated more than release her needs, perhaps he steals this poor man life forced too?

Unfortunately, no one would know, he can measure the Qi or the level someone cultivation but who could measure the power of one life force, if not because Lory he wouldn't know either. The art of manipulated life force is even rarer than immortal flame, this is not something a lady who raised in boudoir could have known unless she was taught by someone. 

"What are you doing here?" the man with dark grey robes question Zhao Li Xin with a suspicious gaze.

"Just taking a breather…." Zhao Li Xin replies indifferently. 

The dark grey robes man still not convince "Why not you stay at your room?"

Zhao Li Xin let out a long heaved "Maybe because I'm avoiding someone inside my room" he raised his eyebrows with annoy looks.

Only then The dark grey robe man realizes Zhao Li Xin's bad relationship with his wife, is not weird if he avoids his own wife "Follow me, Miss Mo wants to meet you" he turns around without waiting for Zhao Li Xin to speak.

"Is she?" Zhao Li Xin smirk in contempt.
