Chapter 198 - Mistakes
When it comes to relationship Lory learned from her friends how to avoid fighting between spouse one of the trick is to say the half-truth meaning leave the detail from explanation and use other people faulty to gain tour owned benefit, Lory though is not a bad idea so she only explained to Zhao Li Xin that she would go out from the villa for exercise to increase her stamina she left the detail about how she would exercise herself, Zhao Li Xin reluctant to let her out from the safety of his residence but Lory remind him that he always busy and she was so bored wasting her time like useless.
Zhao Li Xin feels guilty, he does have a lot of things to do lately he also didn't understand why he gets busier after he met her or is it because he never realizes it before, at the end of the day he finally give in he let her go outside with Mong Yi and other shadows guard following her, Lory agree immediately.
Then a few days later Tian Meng Ji visits his disciple again he always sighs whenever he meets his disciple inside his study room even for a veteran cultivator like him meeting Zhao Li Xin in this cold stoic place make him feel intimidated.
Zhao Li Xin sits behind the big desk like he always does while Mong ki helps him to arrange the paper scroll for him, Zhao Li Xin put down the scroll on the table when he sees Tian Meng Ji than he nods his head slightly "Master…."
For a normal disciple, his behavior would consider being rude but for Zhao Li Xin's temperament who refused to bow to anyone even this action could be said sensible and Tian Meng Ji also immune by his eccentric behavior.
"Xin'er let's talk privately" he glances at Mong Ki.
Mong Ki ignores him, other then his Lord and future madam he would never listen much less obeyed them. Zhao Li Xin heaved than he leans his back on the chair, he waved his hand at Mong Ki to leave them alone, he cupped his hand at Zhao Li Xin respectfully and bow slightly at Tian Meng Ji to gives his Lord some face before he left the room.
Tian Meng Ji waves his hand and the chair on the corner pull automatically toward him, Tian Meng Ji flick his robes before he sits on the chair comfortably, Zhao Li Xin face remain indifferent he pours two cups of wine than he throws the cup toward towards tian Meng Ji using his Qi the wine twirl on the air before Tian Meng Ji received it then he realizes the wine inside the cup didn't reduce its mean Zhao Li Xin control his inner Qi is superb.
Tian Meng Ji feel proud but conflicted at the same time cause his disciple has surpassed him again, Zhao Li Xin faces not changed he sips his wine calmly without care.
"Xin'er about Tang Mei Yi can you forgive her?" he let out a long sigh, although he didn't pamper Tang Mei Yi as he used to after what happened with Zhao Li Xin and Mu Jan Ge warning but he still care for that Young girl that he knew from she was a child so when she comes to him pleading with face full of tears he can't help his heart become soft for her.
Zhao Li Xin shifts the wine cup slightly from his lips "But I haven't done anything to her…." he said callously.
Tian Meng Ji shakes his head helplessly, Zhao Li Xin didn't need to do anything he only retracted his support for Tang Mei Yi and immediately all Tang Mei Yi opponent, business rival and all people who felt hurt by her action coming for blood, she had lost many subordinated and people who have connection with her begins to evade her like a plague.
Not to mention Jiu Yun also joined the havoc to created trouble, Mu Jan Ge clearly said his hatred to Tang Mei Yi for hurting Li Mo Zhen, he knew they're's nothing he could do to changed Mu Jan Ge decision, Li Mo Zhen is not only his master Mu Jan Ge also raised him like a grandson how could he forgive anyone who almost kill his grandson.
Tian Meng Ji always thought Tang Mei Yi is a smart woman but why now he digs her own grave so deep he barely can't help her, he only hopes for her that Zhao Li Xin would forgive her and persuade Jiu Yun sect not to trouble Tang Mei Yi again.
"Xin'er, she just a young girl who make mistake can you forgive her once, at least for me" he pleaded weakly.
Zhao Li Xin sigh "You know, if not because of you I would have killed her…." his eyed become darker.
"Why? She only mistakes is fell in love with you how could you be so cruel to her?" said Tian Meng Ji.
Zhao Li Xin chuckles he put down the wine cup on the table with loud sounds "Love….you said love, don't kid me" his word turns sharp like ice
"It's not me that she loves, it's my power…..Hei Shen power…" he sneered coldly "From the very beginning she saw the potential of Hei Shen Sect especially when I recruited Jin Hao, I won't deny she might like me but her greed is bigger than her love…well…not like I care" Zhao Li Xin straighten his back then he pours more wine for himself with a flat expression.
Tian Meng Ji was dumbfounded, last time Mu Jan Ge also warned him about Tang Mei Yi's character although he is not completely convinced but it incited his suspicion and now Zhao Li Xin said the same thing, he begins to wonder is he wrong this whole times?
"Master, you should stop treated her as a young innocent woman who blinded by love….if she ever blinded by something, I don't think it was love…" Zhao Li Xin sternly warned him.
Tian Meng Ji suddenly feel old he lean weakly on his chair than he looks at Zhao Li Xin handsome face "Lu Yao will come for you…us" he corrected "With her fiery temperament she would make a lot of trouble for you, she might even use her beast power clan to subdue you….you must prepare" said Tian Meng Ji with serious face.
"It's fine, at least I could give my King palace something to do they've been idle too much lately," Zhao Li Xin said lazily while his cheek rests on his fist.
"I knew you gonna say that" Tian Meng Ji sigh helplessly watching his relaxed disciple "I also need to prepare myself that old woman would look for me too, It seems our friendship would break because of you" he blames Zhao Li Xin in displeased eyes.
"What friendship isn't she treat you as her lackey….?" He sneers at his Master calmly.
Tian Meng Ji hit the arms rest angrily "You damn disciple, you dare to mock your master!" he shouted furiously.
Zhao Li Xin shrug his shoulder "I just state the obvious, is not like I'm the only one thought like that…" he takes another sip of wine in a relaxed manner.
Tian Meng Ji face turn red, Mu Jan Ge also like to ridicule him like that, secretly he begin to worry who else thinking like that maybe he does give in Lu Yao too much because the old-time sake it seems he need to draw clear line between him and Lu Yao at the end he cares with Zhao Li Xin more than Lu Yao his old fling and maybe after this his disciple might be nicer to him.
If Zhao Li Xin heard him, his comment would be 'He might not!'
"By the way you haven't told me why you want to kill Tang Mei Yi, it can't be because the Jiu Yun matters aren't it?"
Zhao Li Xin straightens his posture "Do you know Lao Min Na?" he asked.
"Yes, I heard the news about the talented alchemist and the master of Immortal Tower name Lao Min Na, also Liu Yan King highly regard her as their benefactor, I also heard she's so beautiful like a fairy and gain many admirers" Tian Meng Ji stroke his beard in a deep thought than he stare at Zhao Li Xin again "What's wrong, you like her too?" he asked bluntly.
Zhao Li Xin stares dagger at his Master, Tian Meng Ji feel the cold aura from his disciple smiles awkwardly "I'm just kidding…"
Zhao Li Xin than clenched his hand together on the table "I want to kill her…" he said casually.
Tian Meng Ji feel cold sweat on his back 'My dear disciple, why you want to kill all pretty lady on sight?'
"Why?" he suddenly fell exhausted.
"She wants to kill my fiancée, I need to kill her first," he said lightly as if he talked about bad weather.
"And tang Mei Yi correlation with that woman?" Tian Meng Ji throws the empty wine cup on his hand back on Zhao Li Xin table and the wine cup landed smoothly.
"She worked with Lao Min Na to hurt Li Mo Zhen, maybe she thought she would make me in debt with her by giving me Chienzi flower to help my condition at the same time Lao Min Na would subdue Jiu Yun sect using Li Mo Zhen sickness, it's not a bad plan, isn't it? the two women would reap great benefit from other people suffering" Zhao Li Xin smiles viciously, he admits Lao Min Na is cruel and cunning just like him but she make one mistake she didn't count his princess.
Perhaps because Lory can't cultivate, maybe because her weak appearance or perhaps her humble background Lao Min Na refuse to admit Lory potential threat to her because that means she thinks of her as an equal and a prideful person like her would never let herself to equate herself with lowly maids like Lory.
Zhao Li Xin smiles warmly he remembers Lory once said to him, the most dangerous sins for a human is not lust or greed but Pride…because they're's nothing wrong to be prideful for what you have an accomplice or what you've become 'Pride' would make you stop admitting you're owned flaw refused to believe other people greatness, they don't want to believe that they can do wrong and make mistakes so that's how they would be lost.
Her word is a kind reminder for him because just like Lao Min Na, Zhao Li Xin also a prideful man so he will never forget that he is only a human, he can make mistakes and Lao Min Na would make mistakes and her mistake is Lorient.
