The Princess And The Lord

Zhao Li Xin was lay on his couch comfortably while reading a book and drink wine when Sanguan Jin Sheng abruptly opens the door, as rude as always.

Zhao Li Xin only gives him quick glance before his eyes return to his book. Sanguan Jin sheng irritated by Zhao Li Xin's indifferent attitude, make his temper sparked then he hit the table violently.

"How could you be so rude with miss Bai!" he shouted furiously.

"Who?" Zhao Li Xin raises one of his eyebrows.

Sanguan Jin Seng's face turns crimson "Miss Bai – Bai Xue, your grand aunty disciple Bai Xue!"

"Who?" Zhao Li Xin's expression remains the same.

Rage nearly consumed him, Sanguan Jin Sheng wanted nothing but skin his ungrateful son alive. Does he understand how high Bai Xue's position at the Celestial Immortal sect, and how many suitors she got?

It was a blessing for Zhao Li Xin, a woman like Bai Xue gives him a glance but his foolish son dare to humiliated Bai Xue. Because of that Zi Yi Ru was giving him an earful not to mention what Zi Yi Ru's older sister who was still in closed-door cultivation would say to him if she know about this, that woman temper is worst than Zi Yi Ru.

Sanguan Jin Sheng pointing his finger at Zhao Li Xin "You….you…." his words jumble together as he smoldered with anger.

Zhao Li Xin thought there something wrong with Sanguan Jin Sheng perhaps his head is hoy by something before he came m well he does not care but he is too noisy right now, if not because he hasn't seen the old map yet and promises to avenge his mother misfortune he would not stay here any longer.

He raised from the couch then put the book to the shelf and make sure the book is placed neatly inside the shelf before he turns around "Can't you speak normally, I do not understand what are you saying?"

"You BASTA*D CHILD!"

Zhao Li Xin frowned then his expression become normal again in a second, he didn't say anything and just lament to himself 'So loud…' 

"Bai Xue is is Celestial Immortal core disciple her master is your stepmother elder aunt, do you understand what you have done!" Sanguan Jin Sheng's chest rose and fell in a rapid breath as he fuming exasperatedly.

On contrary, Zhao Li Xin remain undifferent of what happened "Oh, but I never met that Bai…Yue...Jue?"

"BAI XUE!" Sanguan Jin sheng correct him sternly.

Zhao Li Xin creased his forehead, he stares at Sanguan Jin Sheng with a questioning look 'Is it?'

"And you had met her before, you saw her when she play Gu Qin near your courtyard!" He spat his saliva all over the place from too much excitement and that's why Zhao Li Xin keep his distance from Sanguan Jin Sheng, if Sanguan Jin Sheng spits his clothes or face he might accidentally break the old man neck, and Zhao li Xin don't want that happened’’.at least not now.

"A rude woman who disturbed my rest?" Zhao Li Xin remembers he met a woman this morning, he can't remember her face.

"What rude woman, do you never seen a beautiful woman plays Gu Qin before?" Sanguan Jin sheng almost vomits with blood, he can't understand how Zhao Li Xin's mind works.

It because his advice that told Bai Xue to play Gu Qin under the magnolia tree with excused is not far from the place he used to play chess, because they are not related so Bai Xue cannot brazenly play music in front of Sanguan Jin sheng without raised anyone question so he suggests her to play at that place, Bai Xue is also a smart woman she understands that Sanguan Jin Sheng wants her to attract Zhao Li Xin attention because of some reason.

The relationship between Zi Yi Ru and her master is quite close so Bai Xue didn't mind to lend a hand after all Sanguan Jin Sheng didn't ask her to marry Zhao Li Xin, for Bai Xue to get opposite sex attention is easier than breathing so she didn't think too much but who knows Zhao Li Xin would make an indescribable response.

"I do and I've seen too many of them, but rude is rude, can't she play in her own place, didn't she knows she's not the only one who lived here not to mention she's just a guest, it was early morning and she already make a ruckus, what an ill-mannered woman!" Zhao Li Xin spouted his dissatisfaction. 

Sanguan Jin Sheng will never understand because he doesn't know that Zhao Li Xin has very keen hearing even for cultivator standard, maybe because of his upbringing where he used to hide fo other people he becomes sensitive to sounds, when he was a child to protect himself he learned subconsciously to differenced sounds, like how people walk or coughing and sneezing, with simple sounds the young Zhao Li Xin could guess who is that person was.

It was a great ability that make him able to find Lory but the downside of this ability is he become too sensitive to sound, he easily got irritated with small noise that's why he used to avoid crowded place and his subordinate always tiptoes around him.

That's why he got irritated when Bai Xue plays Guqin near his courtyard, if sanguan Jin Sheng used this trick to get Zhao Li Xin's attention then only one sentence could say: 'Know your audience!'

The gullible Sanguan Jin Sheng didn't know anything about his Son strange behavior alas he doesn't even know his son real name so what can you expect, Suddenly Sanguan Jin Sheng feel his head throbbing from holding too much anger, how he wishes he can cut Zhao Li Xin head and see how his mind works.

____________________________________

While Zhao Li Xin infuriated Sanguan Jin Sheng to the death another person at Tie shan manor is also feel on a verged of death and that poor person is Mong Yi. Mong Yi already feel dubious when Lory greets him with cunning smiles.

"Mong Yi. I want to investigate Lao Min Na living quarter at the Sanguan Manor, are you coming" Lory already change her dress to black robes when Mong Yi enter her room.

The poor subordinated flabbergasted "Ma – ma – madam, you – you can't!" Mong Yi stuttered anxiously.

Lory calmly wears black leather gloves and grinned widely without giving Mong Yi a glance "I can and I will…"

"But – but – but, Milord will…." Mong Yi tries to used Zhao Li Xin's name to warn Lory, but then he remembers that the one who has the most authority is Lory, he can't count how many times his Lord failed to stop the young madam's plan. 

His legs suddenly feel soft, he can't start to imagine how furious Zhao Li Xin would be if he knows about this, Mong Yi really want to cry but he had no tears, what should he do he will be skin alive by his Lord!

Lory sheathed her twin dagger in each of her sleeves and more small knives tied on her thigh "Don't worry, I'll make sure you alive!" Lory patted Mong Yi's shoulder then walk past him "Are you coming or not?" Lory waved her hand sign him to follow her while girsha flew above her head.

Mong Yi's face loses its color but he can't let Lory left n her owned if something happened with her, death would be the least he could have. Without further ado he runs towards Lory, if worst comes to worst he would become Lory's shield for he knows that kinda a death is less painful than what comes afterward.

Outside the sanguan Manor, Lory and Mong Yi watched from the tall tree branch, she sits comfortably on the tree branch, and her leg swing carelessly, her eyes watch the sanguan manor calmly without a shred of worry. Mong Yi sighs inwardly because Lory looks to calmed and a bit excited.

Not long after Girsha flew towards Lory, the white bird flap his wing in front of her [That woman is not there and I don't feel Lazarus presence inside the courtyard however the courtyard is filled with black mana residue, so you must be careful especially that boy] Girsha shift his gaze to Mong Yi.

Lory turns her head at Mong Yi "You bring the protective amulet I gave you, right?"

"Yes, young madam, I never take it off even when I take a bath" Mong Yi said firmly.

"Good, then that's no problem!" Lory then raised from the tree branch "How many people guard the Sanguan Manor?" he asked Mong Yi.

"There is three group security patrol around the sanguan Manor, the security around the main courtyard is quite high but because Lao min Na is not a family member the security around her courtyard is a bit lax, there also a hidden guard around the manor, I counted twenty hidden guards spread inside the manor"

"I know it won't be easy" she engulfs her body with a strengthening spell then wear a cat mask she got from the festival to cover half her face, she does look like a demon cat spirit then she smiles mischievously "But I bet is going to be fun~"

Mong Yi struggles to stop himself from rolling his eyes.

Girsha merged with Lory, she then takes a long jump from the tree branch, nimbly bouncing between the branch and swiftly jump over the wall fence, Mong Yi follows her from behind while staying alert for any threat around them. Using Zhao Li Xin talisman the cultivator couldn't feel her presence.

Lory hides behind the thick bush while the security patrol passed them. When the security left Lory quickly jump over the wooden railing then pressed herself on the wall, luckily today is a cloudy night without a moon so the night is quite thick, Lory make sure that no one notices her then she dash to where Lao Min Na courtyard is.

Lao Min Na courtyard is quite isolated from other courtyards, perhaps because she wanted to hide from prying eyes, no matter how hard she tries to hide it, there's always an observant person who could notice there's something odd about Lao Min Na. Lao Min Na is a paranoid person and after she involved with Lazarus further her paranoia is getting worse.

Lory could relate with Lao Min Na condition because she was also like that, if not because Girsha sacrifices himself to blocked some of Lazarus influence to her minds, Lory will end ups crazy before she was able to save Lucas, it was the first blunder she make when she collude with Lazarus. She never knows that Lazarus would drive her mad before he got her soul.
