Chapter 157 - Wisdom

When Mong Ki left to entertain the guest, Lory remains on her seat while drinking her tea quietly, Girsha flew and landed on the table beside her he pecks the grapes with his small beak both of them seem very relaxed. Zhao Li Xin sits beside her then he rests his head on her small shoulder.

"Annoying…" he suddenly grumbled.

"Don't be too hard on your Master, he chose you eventually…" Lory caresses her gloomy Lord cheeks.

"Does it matter?" he sighs, he still angry at his master.

"Is not easy to forget old flame" she coaxed him "Give him a chance…." She kisses the top of his head softly.

Zhao Li Xin heaved weakly "As you wish Princess"

"Well done Milord…" she giggles.

Her sweet called ignited the fire within him, he raised her chin with his finger then he kissed her slowly as if he wants to touch every corner of her lips, she closed her eyes while the sweet exchanged take longer than she thought, he let her go only when she shows trouble breathing, they look each other with burning passion brimmed in their eyes.

"Your guest waiting…" she reminds her while struggles to calm her panting.

"They can wait…" he whispers in her ear while bitting gently her earlobes, his gentle moves send electrify vibes all over her body her legs suddenly become numb and sudden heat engulf her body.

She wants to stop him but suddenly she feel weak she want to push him but his body feel like a boulder.

"W….wa…wait…" Lory desperately tries to stop him because they are still outside and peoples waiting for them, how could he be so...eager.

"Hm?" Zhao Li Xin stops when he feel something wrong with her reaction, her face flustered she look at him with blaming look her body limp inside his embraces, he doesn't know what he had done to her but he definitely enjoyed it.

"What's wrong, are you okay?" he asked innocently.

'OF COURSE NOT!'

In the main hall Bei Li Yan and the others take the respectable seat while the servants served them with wine and pastries, everyone relaxed and calmed only Jiang An Yi who seems fearful, she doesn't want to kneel in front of weakling like Lory but she does not dare against her Brother again, she also feel upset her brother almost kick out of Hei Shen Sect because of her but she's not blam herself instead she blamed on Lory.

Meanwhile, Tian meng Ji got curious about what kinda girl this Luo Ri Yi, how could his disciple love her very much. He heard footsteps from the front door, everyone immediately stands up to respect Zhao Li Xin and Lory's arrival. Zhao Li Xin holds Lory's hand he walks at a slow pace so Lory can easily follow him.

When Tian Meng Ji see Lory the image of vixen and seductress immediately collapse, she's not as beautiful as Tang Mei Yi or alluring like Lu Yao when she was young, she's not that beautiful just slightly above average but that kind of face can be found everywhere, she also didn't look delicate or frail that can entice a man desire to protect her overall she looks so...ordinary.

"Greeting Milord, Young Miss" everyone cupped their fist at the same time except Tian meng Ji who only slightly nod at Zhao Li Xin he glances at Lory then Lory nod back at him politely.

Zhao Li Xin make Lory sit on the armchair beside his armchair, the Xin Xen token hang on her wrist for everyone to see Jiang An Yi face become pale she never have thought her Lord would give that much authority to this weak girl with Xin Xen token she can punish Jiang An Yi to death and no one would stop her, her hands trembles under her sleeve only now she realizes the different position between her and Lory.

Jin Hao was one of the people who know how much he loved Lory so his not surprised but Tian Meng Ji and Jiang Jin Wei quite shaken by it. Lory realizes everyone stares at her strangely she didn't understand so she just smiles politely at them.

"Missy look I brought your favorite tea from Yanwo!" Bei Li Yan smiles childishly, he walks towards her and shows the ceramics jar, Lory faces suddenly lit up with joy.

"Is this a Pink tea?" Lory gasped excitedly.

"The tea name is 'Pink Blossom' it's not easy to get it the owner is a bit stingy so I used Milord's name instead" Bei Li Yan smiles cunningly.

"Yanwo 'Pink Blossom' tea?" Zhao Li Xin frowned "You like it?" he glances at Lory.

"Yes, it's sweet and pretty how could I not like it" Lory grinned.

Zhao Li Xin wants to order Bei Li Yan but the man himself cut him off "Don't worry Milord I already purchased a lot for Miss Luo I also add another flavor because Young Miss seems like bright color tea"

"There's another color too?" Lory got more excited.

"And different flavor too" Bei Li Yan smiles proudly.

"Brother Bei, thank you!" she genuinely grateful for his kind attention "Let make some for everyone!"

"Wait, use this white jade teapot" he waves his hand on the table next to him suddenly a white tea set appears "With this, the tea taste and color would be increased" he explained it smugly.

"Thank you Master Jin" Lory bow courteously at him.

"Call me Brother Jin," he said calmly, suddenly an electric spark hit between Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan.

'Hump how can the young Madam called Bei Li Yan brother but call him Master that's not fair!'

'Sly Fox!'

'Sissy!'

"Uhm….thank you Brother Jin" Lory smiles awkwardly, there's something wrong between these to guys.

The old maid bow politely she brews the tea carefully, the cost of the tea and the tea set are higher than her owned life the maids slightly nervous but thankfully she finishes her jobs without a problem.

Lory who never know how much money everyone spent for her only feel blissful, she takes one of the teacups even though the tea is hot but the cup only slightly warm, how odd is that.

"Master Tian, I hope you don't mind please enjoyed a cup of tea" she served the tea for Tian Meng Ji courteously. Zhao Li Xin watches his master's reaction if he dares to refused he would kick him out of his villa and his life for good.

"Of course, thank you" Tian Meng Ji accept politely, how could he dare say no his scary disciple glare at him like a snake watching its prey, why he can't find a cute disciple when he was young?

"Miss Luo" Jiang Jin Wei suddenly kneeled on the floor, his abrupt action surprised Lory.

"I'm Jiang Jin Wei the King of Golden Lion palace, I'm here asking for forgiveness for my sister's misbehavior" Jiang Jin Wei cupped his fist, Lory can feel his sincerity he seems very remorse and ashamed.

"An Yi!" he called with a firm voice, AN Yi jolted from her seat she reluctantly kneeled in front of Lory her face is filled with grief as if she was bullied, Lory stifles how childish she is but Jiang An Yi is only fourteen afterall.

"Miss Luo, forgive my mistakes…" she said half-heartedly.

Zhao Li Xin mood become sour, how dare this woman acted like that in front of his Princess perhaps the punishment is too light, Jiang Jin Wei knew his Lord is angry, he disappointed with his sister he can't even find the words to describe it. Bei Li Yan rolls his eyes exasperatedly, it is Jiang Jin Wei's fault for not teaching his sister while she's still young and because of that, this is what happened.

Secretly Tian Meng Ji lit a candle for Jiang An Yi, his disciple even dares to threat his owned Master moreover to this significant little girl, he silently prays for her "Go with peace, young lass…"

"Miss Jiang…" Lory called her softly, Jiang An Yi reflex to look up.

"Belief on something is a good thing but believed blindly is not, every story have many sides it depends on you would you like to seek it or not but I hope you can make your owned judgment" Lory smiles warmly at her "I forgive you"

Jiang An Yi dumbfounded, she doesn't know why she said that to her, could be she's wrong all this time?

Jiang Jiang Jin Wei also stunned, the young madam not only forgives them easily she even gives her sister something to think about, her words didn't feel like lectures she also didn't condemn his sister's behavior but instead she seems to understands Jiang An Yi.

"Thank You, Miss Luo!" Jiang Jin Wei touches by her kind words no wonder Bei Li Yan said the Young Madam is special.

"You may rise and have some tea~" Lory turn to cheerful again.

Jin Hao sips his tea calmly but for someone who stands close to him they would see his mouth curved upwards slightly, Bei Li Yan also smiles faintly, Zhao Li Xin lean his head on his fist he smiles gently at Lory he knew compare to him Lory have certain wisdom he could never have.

Tian Meng Ji drinks his tea quietly maybe he understands now why Zhao Li Xin chooses this girl over Tang Mei Yi.

A moment later Mong Ki enters the main hall behind him a beautiful girl follows she looks calmed and composed but she can only fool someone like Jiang An Yi but everybody else could imagine how angry that woman inside.
