Chapter 61 - Confrontation with an old friend

Zhou Sheng staggered back a couple of steps. He'd rather now know any of this than knowing that your life depended on someone else's hand. Still, if the Heavenly Law Protector wanted to warn him. Who was he to decline?

He bowed down and saluted, "Thank you for the Protector's divination."

Su Wenshin didn't reply and turned away. This small things, he ought not to dwell in them. The only reason why he warn Zhou Sheng was because of the Red Star.

When the Heavenly Law Protector left, Zhou Sheng slumped his body down in the ground. A lump pf blood gushed out from his mouth. He actually suffered an injury earlier and was running away from his enemies. He touched his back and felt that it was wet and sticky. The blood was still coming out from the sword wound.

Alas, Maybe it really was his fate. Just that, he didn't know if it's a good thing or not. Who was the person that he was supposed to meet? The Heavenly Law Protector didn't mention it. Zhou Sheng could only sigh and attend to lick his own wounds.

-----

As Su Wenshin entered his lounging, he felt that something wasn't right. He had already taken off his mask and changed to a different attire before he came back.

When he got nearer to his courtyard, he felt some fluctuations inside the house. He frowned but didn't turn around, instead, he stepped further in.

When he opened the door, someone was seated on the chair. It was a young woman. She was dressed in red robes and her face was hidden with a hat and veil.

"To what do I owe this young miss's presence?" Su Wenshin sat down on the opposite side.

He didn't know who this woman is but he knew that she was alone and powerless. That was the only reason why he confronted her. If there was one weakness for being the Heavenly Law Protector is that he can never divine his own future. Unless it involves someone.

The Lady in red robes chuckles. "Su Wenshin, We've met again."

Her voice was melodious to his ears. His brows furrowed. No one in this entire continent knew of his real name. Not even the previous and current Emperor of the Xu Kingdom.

"Who are you? And why do you know my name?" Su Wenshin clenched his fist.

"Relax, I'm not a bad person. Although you owe me a lot, I'm not here to settle with debts."

Su Wenshin felt a cold shiver on his back. As if this woman was dangerous. It was the very first time that he felt like this. His heart was thumping heavily. As if, she would be his downfall. "If not, what then? In which way did I owe you?"

The Lady in Red Robes chuckles again. She slowly removed her hat and veil to reveal her true countenance.

Seeing the young woman in front of him revealing her true face, Su Wenshin's eyes didn't leave her. As soon as her face was free from obstruction, his heart skipped a beat.

The young woman in front of him was a true beauty. Yet, he had not seen this kind of face before. If he did, surely he would remember. Somehow, she still felt familiar and yet not.

Seeing his confusion, Yu Ronglou smiled at him. "As expected, you don't remember me."

Su Wenshin unconsciously felt his chest. It was tightening as if something was squeezing it. "Can you delight me by telling me your name, young miss?"

"Yu...Rong...lou..." She then smirks as she said her name.

"You..." Su Wenshin instantly got up. "How?..." His brows crossed and his face turned pale.

Yu Ronglou's smile got bigger. "How do I know your real identity? How did I found your location? And What's my purpose for coming here?"

As if reading his mind, A lighting struck inside Su Wenshin's head. "Reincarnation?" He asked.

Yu Ronglou clapped her hands. "As expected of the Heavenly Law Protector. You really live up to your title."

Su Wenshin's knees went weak and he slowly sat back down. How could this be?!
