Jayden went to the first floor and after some time walked down wearing different clothes.

Wang Jia had already placed the food on the dining table and she sat there deep in thoughts, Jayden walked up to her and places his hands on her shoulder and began massaging lightly.

Wang Jia was startled at first, but sensing that it was her son, she relaxed and closed her eyes, she enjoyed his careful movements. After a couple of minutes, he asks:

" What's wrong, mom? You seem to be thinking about something, you can share your worries with me, you know. I will help you as best as I can. "

Hearing his words, Jia smiled a warm feeling filling her heart, and then she spoke:

" It is about the sect competition, I've heard that my aunt's youngest son, the third prince is going to come as a spectator. I know for sure that dirty pig of a King must be planning something again.

I'm worried that you might get hurt during the competition, why don't you just skip the competition this time, you will get more chances in the future, after all. "

She finished in a worried tone.

" Don't worry Mom, believe me, they will not be able to do anything. So don't worry about it, it's just a small matter. "

Jayden said, gently pressing her shoulders. Jia nodded, but she still seemed to have more to say, Jayden noticed and said:

" I know there is more, just tell me what it is, you know you can share everything with me. "

Jia hesitated slightly then clenching her fists tightly, she finally asked:

" W- Why did Xiao Rong came here yesterday? I even heard that she had cancelled her marriage, did she confess her love to you? D- Did you like her too? "

She asked everything in a single breadth.

Jia wondered if it was right for her to get so worked up just because her son might be in love with someone, and for her to feel so bad thinking that he might leave her because of some girl.

Jayden finally understood what she have been troubling her all this time, with a big smile he replied:

" She indeed came here to confess her love for me and wanted us to spend the rest of our life together. She asked me whether or not I love her. "

Placing the book down, Jayden smiled charmingly and said:

" Of course, I'm always happy to help my lovely Mom, then let's start. "

Jayden said, making Jia excited, just thinking about the last time made her feel butterflies in her belly and she felt her body turning hot.

Then putting the documents down, she stood up and walked towards him, her beautiful face and voluptuous body tempting Jayden to pounce on her.

******

The previous night, in the third elder's home over five assassins sneak in and tried to kill Qiang.

All of them were quite skilled but were no match for the third elder, still, Qiang was injured when they attacked him, at that time he was sleeping.

Qiang was having a great dream in which he was going to marry Xiao Rong, but just as they were about to exchange rings, Xiao Rong stabbed his chest with a knife.

He felt excruciating pain, he was hurt both physically and mentally, since the love of his life was the one to end his life.

But then he opened his eyes, as his dream shattered and saw a wound mark in his chest and also felt a few knives approaching that were aimed at his heart, neck and head.

Twisting his body he rolled away and slightly dodged the attacks, but they still cut his skin, squinting his eyes in the dark he yelled for help:

" Aaaaaaaaah Grandfather, t- there is someone in my room. "

The assassins clicked their tongues and in a last attempt threw their knives at him, before running away.

Since it was so dark, it was extremely hard for Qiang to dodge all the knives and two of them pierced his shoulder and leg, leaving him wincing in pain.

" Ughhhhh i- it hurts, grandfather h- help me, I- I'm bleeding, please someone aaaaah "
