Canglan sneered behind her White Jade Fan, "Mister Yao Xi, you are kidding, right? How could I form an alliance with Mister Liu Huo?"
Mister Yao Xi retorted angrily, "Stop pretending, Mister Night Phoenix. Isn't your Xiao conclusive proof?"
"Haha, haha, " Canglan laughed. There was a crafty expression lurking in her eyes. She added, "Mister Yao Xi, you interrupted me. How could I form an alliance, since Mister Liu Huo is my subordinate."
"What are you saying?" 'Could Mister Liu Huo be Mister Night Phoenix's subordinate? How could it be? How could it be?'
The man coming suddenly from above overwhelmed Mister Yao Xi, and he lost what remained of his self-confidence and arrogance.
"Master, they are all killed." The man in black said in his usual indifferent manner. A long sword was on his belt.
Mister Yao Xi was ashamed. He fell back a few steps, staring at Mister Liu Huo. He couldn't believe the man kneeling in front of Canglan was the real Mister Liu Huo.
"You …You …" Mister Yao Xi was too shocked to finish his sentence. He heard Mister Liu Huo call Night Phoenix Master.
'I lost. I lost, but.... But, how could I lose? For the first time I made careful plans and yet, I failed completely. I took all reactions of the people into consideration, but, I forgot about how intelligent Mister Night Phoenix is.'
"Mister Yao Xi, do you remember what I told you? The Can Kingdom wouldn't be the first to be overthrown. All these tricks you played in the Can Kingdom would be destroyed."
Mister Yao Xi was frustrated, he still looked arrogantly handsome and stubborn though. Even if he did just lose, he had his pride.
"I failed. I have nothing to say." Mister Yao Xi informed her, raising his head. There were guards stoically standing in front of him, weapons drawn, ready to sacrifice themselves so Mister Yao Xi could esca
ve now."
Mister Yao Xi looked at Canglan cautiously and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure." Canglan stepped to the side slightly, as did Yun Qin and Yun Qi.
A confused Mister Yao Xi moved with caution as Canglan remained still, looking at him calmly. He kept moving until he reached a corner at the foot of the mountain. There he turned back yelling, "Mister Night Phoenix, you spared my life today, and sooner or later, I will repay you."
Canglan watched him as he retreated. She didn't move until he disappeared in the forest on the mountain.
"Mistress, why did you let him go?" Yun Qin asked, not understanding why his Mistress had set the tiger free, back onto the mountain.
Canglan was graceful while shaking the White Jade Fan. She whispered, "If he had perished, I would never return."
Yun Qin and Yun Qi were confused, and they had no idea what she meant by "returning". They figured out the reason she didn't kill Mister Yao Xi though, "Mistress, is he one of your feathers?" 'There is no mistake, right? The Mistress's feathers are royal members?'
Canglan stared at Mister Yao Xi's receding figure, buried in her thoughts. Then she sighed, "Mister Yao Xi is crafty, cunning, and he keeps his own counsel."
