Chapter 136 - Night Raid

It's almost past midnight, Lory and Zhao Li Xin still embrace each other on the bench when Girsha flew and landed on her shoulder.

[A lot of people are coming and something big is followed] he said calmly without hurry.

Lory shift her gaze to Zhao Li Xin "Someone coming?" she asked casually like asking if it's a guest.

he not surprised with her sudden comment "Hm….they finally here" Zhao Li Xin sneered, three yellow crystal appear from his hand he pierce the crystal one by one on the ground make a triangle points around the bench then the flame emerged from his hand the flame ignited the three crystal until the crystal glowing then the flame disappear and suddenly a transparent shade engulf the bench like invisible shield.

"Don't get off from the bench, okay" he reminds her.

Lory who still amazed by his power nods his head on a daze, her eyes brimmed with admiration for him make Zhao Li Xin proud a little bit. The next moment Bei Li Yan appears with the same three girls Lory saw in the Jiang Wei Kingdom Palace, they still wear the same red uniform like before, then Jin Hao appears with two-man with white uniform like him, Wu San Bo also follow by three-man with grey and silver uniform, Jiang Jin Wei comes from the moon gate with a few soldiers with silver armor and spear follow behind him.

then on the manor rooftop appear a dozens men with black uniform they are the shadow guard, Mong Ki and Mong Yi also among them, every one of them look fierce and gallant, its quite spectacular scene, Lory's eyes become widened she was stunned but mostly excited at the same time, it's been a very long time since she witness this kinda scene again.

seems like every king brings their best people with them, they all kneeled on the floor when they see Zhao Li Xin "Greeting Sect Master!"

Zhao Li Xin eyes still fixed on the woman next to her, he tugs her hair behind her ear gently

"I'm not a good man, and today you might see the worst of me…. I don't want you to see it but I realize I can't hide it from you too, cause it's not fair" his smile becomes bitter, he prays she won't disdain him.

"I told you before didn't I….at Jiang Wei Kingdom" Lory grasp his hand then she kiss his hand softly "If I have to choose between them and you, I'll always choose you" she smiles gently at him, she is a kind women but when it come to people she love she can as biased as she can be if not how could she released Lazarus to save her one and only Brother and put the world at risk.

"If they come to kill you, then it's proper if you kill them first…I will not lose you!" her expression becomes firm if she still has her power she would use grab her sword and stand at the front.

The gloomy expression from Zhao Li Xin disappeared, as if the dark cloud that hover in his heart has blown away and sunrise glimmering with bright light, he always afraid someday she would hate him because what he could do, that's why he toned down quite a bit after he met her, but some people start to forget about what he could do they become bold to stand on his path, after Lory give her consent he had no hesitation, today is a good day to kill.

The words coming from Lory make the four kings rejoice is like telling their lord to go all out without restrained, Bei Li Yan gives Jin Hao meaningful gaze, he always like the young madam since the first time he saw her, his gaze told Jin hao his not wrong about her, Jin hao understands what Bei Li Yan gaze mean he only stifles while nod his head slightly, he has no other choice but agree with him.

Meanwhile Wu San Bo and Jiang Jin Wei surprised how calmed Lory is, her firm decision and her tactful understanding is not something a young girl could mastered, only people who have been a lot of turbulence in life could have that kinda temperament but then they remember what she said in the training ground, seems like she is more than meets the eye.

[Lory, there's a strong beast coming with them, I can feel strong bloodlust from the creature] Girsha frown with disgust, cause all he can feel from the creature is 'Blood-blood- blood'

[Is it strong?] she probe.

[It's fine…] Girsha answers nonchalantly, Lory feel relief if he said that she got nothing to worried about, she glad Ming Yue Yin need recuperating after the harsh training, she was sent to the mountain hot spring to faster her healing with Fu Ying as her bodyguard so only Hei Shen sect member inside the Manor.

Not long after dozens of people with white robes enter the Manor, they kick the front gate violently the moment they enter they all spread out to subdue anyone inside the manor but strangely they didn't see anyone, the manor seem empty, Huang Yi Yi gritted her teeth, she afraid Zhao Li Xin new about their night raid is long Ming become coward and run from his owned manor if that so she will spread the rumor to make him as a jokes.

"Dear guest, we've been waiting for long" two beautiful women with red robes, welcome them with bright smiles.

"Who are you?" Zu Gong and the other become vigilance.

One of the women smiles charmingly "Milord has waited, please follow me" the two girls sign them to come politely, they moved are clear and smooth, the don't look anxious even though they surrounded by dozens of men with weapons instead they keep throwing coquettish smiles.

The two beautiful red robes women walk first because no one dare to step up, Zu Gong and Huang Yi Yi have no choice but follow them, this serene air around them only make them agitated they keep watch surrounding them as if they would attack in a second, the grip in their weapon become tighter until they hand turn white, and yet nothing happened, the ladies walk with steady pace and sometimes giggles softly, this only make them more restless.

After they pass the wooden hallway then walk to the courtyard and pass the moon gate, the light suddenly becomes brighter, the atmosphere is relaxed and tranquil, two-man play chess in the small round stone table, another man play Gu Qin with a beautiful lady dance in front of him, then there's a couple on the bench leaning to each other with muscular man sit on the small stool watching the show.

Heavenly Jade pavilion was dumbfounded they almost believed they come to the wrong place, Huang Yi Yi clenched her jaw her eyes become red from anger, she knew they do this to humiliate them.

"It's already late who knew Lord Long Ming having fun gathering" Huang Yi Yi sneered.

"You know is late and you still bothering me" Zhao Li Xin didn't bother to exchanged pleasantries.

Huang Yi Yi anger escalated, Zhao Li Xin have a perfect carved face, the moon soft light only makes his face contour more refined, he is the most beautiful man she has ever seen in his life if only he did not ruin her plan she won't mind to make him as her man.

If Zhao Li Xin hear her thought he might kill her in instant, he didn't like 'Cougar'

"If you don't stop staring at me, I might gauge your eyes," Zhao Li Xin said with an icy voice.

"Don't you dare to talk like that to our Miss!" Zu Gong shouted furiously, he wanted to show them that he not afraid of long Ming but sadly no one takes seriously.

Bei Li Yan stop his playing and the girl who was dancing before also stop, Bei Li Yan raised from his seat slowly "Just said what you wanna said, we tired and wants to get rest immediately" his fist cover his yawn.

Huang Ni Yang barely hold her anger "You kill my niece and nephew, I want you to responsible for their death!!" she pointing at Zhao Li Xin, her nose flare from intense raged.

Zhao Li Xin smirk "I'm not killing your nephew….I kill your Son, did I?"

His teasing words infuriated Huang Ni Yang but she also stunned, how Zhao Li Xin knew about this, even in her sect only the elder and her father knew about this, Zu Gong and the other elders also startled since when Long ming knew about this? Is the missing Princess also got something to do with him?

"You, how could you…." Huang Yi Yi's hand clenched under her robes, she reminds herself to stay calm.

"What else we don't know in this continent, Miss Huang?" Bei Li Yan pour wine from the small table near him casually "About you secretly married with the Liangzu Emperor, your child sweetheart….or how you kill the previous Emperor family living only one siggle girl to get the heritage from the sacred tree then marry her with your Son then.....this is my favorite" Bei Li Yan smack his lips after he drinks the wine

"Dance of wildflower arts"

Huang Ni Yang, Zu Gong, and the elders are shocked, this is the most elaborated plan they have meticulously planning how could Long Ming know about this, since when he knew about this? They look at each other with fright, even the common heavenly jade pavilion member didn't know anything about this, the elder was dumbstruck by the revelation.

On the other hand, all of the Heavenly jade pavilion members look to their elders for answers, they don't want to believed it but judging how bad the elder's expression the story most likely is true, they were disappointed but what could they do.

"This art is a big taboo it was forbidden to practice in the whole continent but you the supposed to be upright and righteous sect learn and practice this art is really an eye-opener" Bei Li Yan sneered.

"You…" Zu Gong got tongue-tied, the Hei Shen sect also knew about this thing, he begins to suspect a mole in his owned sect.

"It's late.." Zhao Li Xin said indifferently, his little savior needs to rest he can delay any longer.

"Right…" Jin Hao raised from his seat "Do you come here for talk or else? We didn't have much time" he leans his bottom on the table with a tired expression.

The provocation enough to turn every Heavenly Jade pavilion face member to red, Huang Yi Yi waved her hand then suddenly a large beast appears from thin air, the beast roar bearing his sharps teeth, his claw stomp scratch the ground leaving deep mark on a dirt, the shadow guard then appear again they surrounding the manor roof and tree.

[Seems like its gonna be fun tonight!] Girsha chirping excitedly on Lory's lap while flapping his wings.

[And I'm not invited…] Lory pout from deep disappointment.

Girsha also realizes their insufficient power, his little body drop while murmured exasperatedly

[You and me Sister…]

Meanwhile, Huang Yi Yi and Zu Gong make triumph smiles with Lo Tie as their aide, Huang Ni Yang make sinister laugh she point her finger at Lory "I will make Lo Tie spread your S**t to pieces, you know Lo Tie love toe eat woman tender meats!" her laugh is loud and eerie, she expected Lory would be trembling in fear.

[Yo princess, that Beast wants to eat ya!] Girsha can't hold his laughter.

Lory expression unimpressed [Get in line…..]
