Chapter 535

535 Annoyed

“Wow sis, does Ying really need it? There’s a lot”

“Well, who knows you need it, living outside is not like in the palace, it could be too cold at night and very hot during the day, not balanced, and the food outside also tends to be unclean, you might get stomachache” whispered Fan er.

“Sister, Ying weren’t just out of the palace for once or twice, sis, I think my body is already strong enough to face all the weather challenges”

“Still, this is just in case, just don’t forget to bring it”

Not long after, the three sat down to enjoy a relaxed chat with lots of the snacks that had filled the table.

“So little brother and His Highness the Crown Prince will stay at the clan? At that damp and smelly place?” asked Fan er.

Bai Ying nodded while puffing his mouth out.

“Well it’s more or less like that, although it’s close to Grandpa Po’s residence, Ying er doesn’t understand about that too, why do we have to live there? His Majesty is indeed strange.”

“Then brother, are you going to participate in the competition for a reliable fighter? Sister heard that the participants are martial champions from all over the place, and they represent their respective clans to take the position of the head of the martial world, is that true?” Lan er whispered.

.....

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Bai Ying widened his eyes.

“Sister where did you hear that?” he asked.

Lan er waved her hand.

“Ah, who doesn’t know this? Anyway, big sister does have a reliable source.”

Bai Ying looked at her sharply, couldn’t believe her, even the wall was eared because of them, they could indeed get all the latest information from the people around them without much effort, apparently staying too long in the palace giving them another new ability.

Fan er brought her head closer in a whisper.

“Oh yeah, Xiao Ying, just to let you know, that the Princess will also go there, she said she wanted to win the heart of the Crown Prince, and for that reason Her Majesty the Queen allowed her to participate,” whispered Fan Er.

“Really, sis? But that Princess is a girl, can she join the competition too? Then does this mean that Brother Lo Yi is also coming?”

The two concubines nodded in unison.

“Yeah, I think so, since they are siblings,”

“What does this has to do with being siblings, sis? asked Lan er who was busy putting the beans in her mouth and eating them like the rabbit.

“Of course it does, no way that Prince going to let his sister go there alone, who going to protect her?” said Fan er loudly.

Bai Ying thought, just like he and the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Dai Yang Lo Yi was not from the martial world, would he also join an existing clan? And why did the princess have to come? Did he really want to stick on the Crown Prince? He really couldn’t believe it, at a time like this the Crown Prince still thought about bringing a girl with him, while on the other hand, he couldn’t bring his two maids, does that spoiled Princess live alone without her maids? How could he believe that? That annoying Crown Prince.

....

The young leaves of a cluster of bamboo trees swayed sweetly by the passing wind, making a beautiful sound as if someone was singing. The sound of the zither and flute could faintly be heard on the neat-looking path of the Goose Pavilion, where Elder Yi had stayed while he was in the palace.

Check.

The sound of a small teacup made of high-quality jade being placed on the saucer. That afternoon, Elder Yi had a dignitary guest, none other than the Crown Prince who was sitting with him in front of the garden enjoying the fresh air on a warm day, accompanied by the music of several young maids who had indirectly become disciples of Elder Yi in his music instrument’s class. The man couldn’t keep quiet no matter how lazy he was, his love for music made him finally open a ‘music class’ in his pavilion. And on the sidelines of the time, the old but young man was also one of the guest advisors at every state meeting of the Emperor, there was no such thing as food and sleep in the palace for free.

Elder Yi pursed his lips, smiling at the face of the Crown Prince who came to him to discuss his worries.

“Heh, Your Majesty, that Ying er, it takes time to remember everything, I think all Your Majesty can do now is just be patient with him, one day he will definitely remember his love for Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang put his small teacup on the table, holding back his breath with a far view in front.

“He was so innocent, how many times did he always tell me to find a new concubine, at the past, he would scream, although he couldn’t refuse at least in the past the kid would look restless every time the conversation about concubines came to the fore, now, he doesn’t even think twice when talking about it. Elder Yi, do you think Ying really has forgotten his feelings at all?”

Elder Yi thought as he stroked his chin.

“Hem, Your Majesty, did, Your Majesty ever discussed the matter of the other four elements with Ying? Like Er Wang, Xiao Wu and the others, who know that kid will be able to remember it, although, the disappearance of a Realm King does mean he loses all his memories and power as a Realm King.”

Luo Xiang turned to Elder Yi.

“Wouldn’t it, talking about them just make Ying suffer? As well as remembering his feelings for me, Elder Yi, is there nothing we can do to prevent his energies from turning against him? I can’t just sit and do nothing as the kid will get hurt again.”

Luo Xiang saw Elder Yi who again raised his teacup for him to drink slowly, permeating the atmosphere he loved so much.

The Crown Prince frowned.

“Then, Elder Yi, what are you doing by sitting so relaxed like this? Have you packed up for our trip tomorrow?” Luo Xiang asked.

Hear that, Elder Yi who was enjoying the tea that had already gone down his throat almost choked on it.

“Eulk, cough cough, eh, me, Your Majesty? Come along too?” he asked.

Luo Xiang pulled his lips.

“Yeah of course, why? Did Elder Yi want to be lazy sitting comfortably in the palace while the martial world was in turmoil? What are your responsibilities as a respected elder of the martial world?” Luo Xiang asked.

Elder Yi gulped deeply, put down his teacup and waved his hand which was slightly spilt by the tea when he was surprised earlier.

“Em, well, not really, but, do I also have to take care of it? It’s time for the younger generation to take charge of what happens in the martial world.”

“Elder Yi, aren’t you still young? See yourself now? Looks like a young man in his brilliant thirties, tall and sturdy body, smooth and handsome face without any wrinkles, you are indeed a young man.”

Elder Yi pulled his lips. The Crown Prince’s words seemed to be mocking him.

“Your Majesty, my body is young but my soul is old after all.”

“Well, either way, everyone will see Elder Yi Man as another young man, right now, why don’t you admit that you are youth as you always say? Whatever the reason is, Elder Yi must come along, we don’t know what we can do there but all of your successors will also be there fighting for their position”

Elder Yi couldn’t refuse, after all the young man in front of him was the Crown Prince, his words were orders, and everyone, whoever they are must obey it, it can’t be helped.

“Heh, well, this young and handsome Elder Yi needs a maid, may I take one of these beauties with me?”

Luo Xiang’s eyes went wide.

“No maids! Why does everyone always ask for maids, I’m really curious” Luo Xiang shouted and got up from his seat. Elder Yi was taken aback by the Crown Prince’s loud voice which took him by surprise.

“Oh my gosh, calm down Your Majesty, does Your Majesty have to be so angry? It’s just a small problem, one or two maids won’t be a problem right?”

Luo Xiang tucked his hands behind his waist, looking at Elder Yi with big eyes.

“You are neither a Prince nor a Viceroy like my Ying Ying, why bring a maid along? What a perverted old man” he grumbled as he walked towards the front door where Bei Yau had been standing waiting for him.

“Why is he so fierce?” Elder Yi grumbled. He closed his mouth tightly again when he saw the Crown Prince who was looking back at him with big eyes.

“We are leaving tomorrow at dawn, make sure you pack your things or you will only bring the clothes you wear, and don’t be late”

Elder Yi swallowed hard, the snotty brat, even the Emperor still respects him as a teacher uncle, why is he so rude to him?

“Rotten brat”
