The Princess And The Lord

In the study room, Zhao Li Xin received a report from his subordinates as he used to and having a meeting with Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan.

"Zhao Yi Chen left?"

"Yes, milord" Mong Ki reply courteously "He left after he legalizes the annulment of his engagement"

"Oh…" he response indifferently.

"Milord, I heard Sangauna Jin Sheng asked to come home, would you return to Sanguan manor?" Bei Li Yan cheery voice broke the gloomy atmosphere.

"It's easier to find to investigated the sanguan family from the inside" Jin Hao chimed in.

Of course, Zao Li Xin knows about this but he doesn't want to live apart from Lory and unlike at Sacred Mountain peak he can't bring Lory with him because Lao Min Na and Lazarus was there.

"I wonder why Sanguan jin Sheng insists to bring Milord home, he already has Sanguan Wu Ci as an heir and also another Son, so why he wants another son from the runaway wife that make him a cuckold?" Bei Li Yan long beautiful eyebrows furrow, this whole matter is too suspicious.

"Perhaps it got something to do with the old map, do they know about the Crimson Lightning sword?" Jin Hao pinched his chin as he states his suspicion.

Zhao Li Xin props her chin with both his hands on the table, he suddenly remembers something "Huwang Shen Zi told me. Only I who can use the sword because I'm the descendant of the first king Lei Yu" the room become silent, Zhao Li Xin brought his hand together and forming steeple with his long finger in front of his face "Do they know?" he raised the most intriguing question.

"How?" Jin Hao asks in doubt.

"The Qin family?" Bei Li Yan raised his brows.

"What we know about the Qin family?" Zhao Li Xin asks.

"Not much, they have stayed at Yunmo kingdom for hundred years and they quite well off, they are basically a merchant family later they involve in politics and married their son with a few noble families from the lower class and….that's it" Bei Li Yan shrug.

"Why no one make a fussed when Sanguan Wu Ci massacre the Qin family?" jin hao always baffled by the fact one family could massacred other family and no one says anything.

"Well, there was a protest from few official but they are not strong enough against the Sanguan family authority, even the Emperor was warry with them, however, the situation is too big to let it slide so the emperor demoted Sanguan Jin Sheng position and punish him to stay at the monastery for two years to repent his sin" Bei Li Yan snickered, he mocked the emperor cowardness.

"So….is a slap on a wrist?" Jin Hao quipped.

"Yup!"

Throughout the conversation, Zhao Li Xin remains indifferent even though they talk about his biological family demised. For him it just a story about someone else family, he doesn't feel belonging or attachment like normal people would felt that's why he could assess the situation with a clear mind.

"Investigate the Qin family background before they settled at Yun Mo kingdom, and how she ends up married with Sanguan Jin Sheng," said Zhao Li Xin then he shifted his gaze at Jin Hao "What about Jin Kai?"

Jin Hao sneer "Just like Sanguan family he enjoys the luxury of Lao Min Na pills to increased his cultivation, he is sovereign at peak level know" as a talented alchemist and physician Jin Hao know exactly what the effect for abusing one pill to increased one power. If only they know they just shamble their future as cultivators.

"Don't lose your guard down, a high cultivation is still deathly nonetheless" Zhao Li Xin reminds them.

They all simultaneously stare at Zhao Li Xin in shock, this is the first time Zhao Li Xin shows his concern towards them, too bad there's no recording device in this world so they can only preserve this moment in their mind.

"What?" Zhao Li Xin squints his eyes coldly when everyone stares at him weirdly.

Everyone averts their gaze at the same time "No, nothing Milord…" Bei Li Yan scratched her nose awkwardly.

In a meantime in the garden, Lory forces Ming Yue Yin to drink more wine, who would have know after only three cups Ming Yue Yin face flushed, it proves how strong Zhao Li Xin wine is but why she never saw him drunk?

"So, tell me what happened between you and Yuan Shao – please elaborated the story without missing the details" Lory raised her index finger as she firmly warned Ming Yue Yin.

Yang Xi Yin grinned ear to ear while holding the wine cup, unlike Ming Yue Yin she only takes a sip and not dare to take more.

Ming Yue yin cheek reddened like a ripe tomato but it was unclear is that because of the wine or the embarrassment, she darted her gaze at Lory and yang Xi Ying consecutively "Nothing – nothing has happened….it just a ki – ki – kiss…" she stuttered the last words but her blushing face betrays her.

"Ki – ki – kiss!" Yang Xi Ying widens her eyes as she shrieks excitedly.

Lory curls her mouth and nods "Nice…." Then she crosses her arms on the table, just like a professional investigator she looks at Ming Yue Yin with a sharp gaze "Is it only a kiss?"

Lory could see an invisible bomb blow right on Ming Yue Yin head "No – nothing ha – happened it only a ki – ki – kiss!" she waved her head wildly, lory could feel a small wind came from her crazy waves.

Ming Yue Yin flustered is so obvious it incited her to tease the innocent lady further, Lory then leans toward Yang Xi Ying "Do you believe her?" she acted like a prosecutor, Yang Xi Ying barely can't hold her laugh, she sakes her head fervently. Being teased by her two best friends Ming Yue Yin's face can't be redder, but it hard for her to avoid Lory knowing eyes as she seems to see right through her.

Well, Lory has her own suspicion but she didn't know for certain, after all, she's not sure how far yuan Shao dares to cross the limit and if this little 'brat' is willing to cooperate. Nonetheless, it is fun to tease her.

"Just let me be clear, is it involved tongue infiltration or rubbing in some disclosed area?" Lory make hand gesticulate around her chest with a serious expression.

Ming Yue Yin is so embarrassed she throws one of the pastries at Lory which she avoids smoothly, the blood running to Ming Yue Yin face make her face, neck even her ear completely red "Tha – tha – that did not happen!" she denied strongly but her crimson face make Lory grew suspicious.

"Really….I think you lie" Lory pursed her lips.

Yang Xi Ying hit the table and laugh, this is the first time she acts so unladylike and Ming Yue Yin become more flustered. In the end, Yang Xi Ying feel bad for her innocent empress "Enough….you cannot kill her majesty with embarrassment, it's criminal…." she pretends to stop Lory but in the end, she joined to teased Ming Yue Yin too.

"….." this time Ming Yue Yin has the urge to find other friends, this one is no good.

"Besides this, kinda thing can only be thought from mother to daughter," said Yang Xi Ying shyly, it seems the alcohol finally get through her.

"Well, because this brat doesn't have a mother, so it's my job as the aunt" Lory shamelessly proclaimed herself after months of reluctance.

Ming Yue Yin's mouth twitched as she heard Lory finally accept her title.

"By the way, how you've been thought anyway?" Lory thought is too freaky, the last thing she wants to learn from her mother is how to pleased his man, Lory got shuddered just imagine it.

Yang Xi Ying who become more relaxed after another sip of wine begins her story "Uhm, my mother said…I need to be understanding and receptive of whatever your husband asked you to do" she looked down shyly as her flawless tinted with pink.

Lory nods her head "That's sounds...WACK!" Lory was stunned in shock "Sound like a bad drug commercial to me! What the HECK is that?!"

"Is that wrong?" Yang Xi Ying tilted her head, she doesn't understand half of what Lory said but she gives it away since they come from two different worlds but she curious why Lory so against this.

Lory thought she's going overboard, they raised in different cultures and thought with different value, every culture has it good and bad side even his cultured is far from perfect so she has no right to tell them which one is right or wrong, Lory waved her hands "Uhm nevermind, other than that what else your…..mother taught you?"

"Well, she gives me a book called 'Woman virtue' to learned before I got married," said yang Xi Ying.

"A book?" Lory becomes speechless, giving a book to clueless young women sounds like a recipe for disaster for her, however, in order to respect her friend she keeps that thought to herself "What kinda book?" she try to remain positive.

Yang Xi Ying bites her lips as she looks hesitant, she looks around her to make sure they were alone then she leans forward and cover her mouth then whisper "It's a picture book about how to do it….."

"Oh?" Lory's surprise she talk about that kinda book "Can I see it?" she wants to know is it different from the book in her world.

Yang Xi Ying stunned but then she innocently asks "Uhm…which one you wanna see?"

"How many are they?"

"There is, part I, part II and part III" she explained.

Lory was amazed and her eyes grew bigger "Is a TRILOGY?"
