The Princess And The Lord

Ming Yue Yin's faces turn pale as she recalled the stormy day then she glances at Yang Xi Ying and realizes Yang Xi Ying was also worried about the same thing then they nervously turn their head at Girsha who had been stopped eating since god's knows when? the bird stood still just like a statue only his green eyes follow sanguan Li Ye moves.

The oblivious sanguan Li Ye didn't realize the mythical first kind is eyeing her she blabber her mouth without care, she looks down on Lory since the beginning even though she is Long Ming wife, and all because of Lory background and she heard Long Ming never heald wedding ceremony for her, who can be certain that long Ming feeling will not fade away after some time.

"Did I say anything wrong, everyone knows she is a vixen who climbs her master bed, who knows if Long Ming truly likes her since I never heard Long Ming held a wedding ceremony for her, even concubines in our house were carried by a palanquin from their house to our manor, unlike someone, and I'm not the only one who thinks like this, I believe everyone also thinks the same" Sanguan Li Ye didn't feel wrong since she states the fact that everyone knows, they just not dare to say it loud because they don't want to infuriate Long Ming, but she's not scared because she knew his brother is a sage cultivator, could Long Ming stronger than her brother? Impossible!

Lory didn't immediately angry, she stared at Sanguan Li Ye's smug face with a blank look. Sanguan Li ye thought Lory was hurt by her words she make victorious smile, on contrary Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying take a few steps back from Lory and Girsha then activate all their protective amulet and talisman they have, no one realized what are they're doing because their focus concentrates on Lory.

"So you want my bird, huh?" Lory stifles.

Sanguan Li ye raised her chin arrogantly "Sure, why don't you take the five hundred gold taels and I will forget what happened today" she blatantly demeaning her in front of the public, although no one is laugh loudly, however, they all agree with Sanguan Li ye and they sneer at Lory.

Lory gives a lopsided grin "Oh, but I will not forget….aren't we, Girsha"

Girsha flapping her wings, he floats above the table as he drew closer to sanguan Li Ye, while Sanguan Li Ye mesmerize by Girsha beautiful feathers from up close, suddenly Girsha opens his soft pink beak, and an ear-shattering squawk pierces the air and shaking the grounds, the room shook like an earthquake and people with low cultivation fall from their chair and people who had strong Cultivation cover their ears in reflex. The powerful impact make all glass and porcelains in the room shattered into pieces. 

Lory secretly put a transparent barrier for Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying to make sure their safety. Meanwhile, Sanguan Li ye who was strike by Girsha soundwaves cough blood then more blood flown from her ears and nose, her eyes bulged widely then her face turns white as a sheet, Sanguan Wu Ci who have the stronger cultivation try to help he is sister but he's one step too late.

Sanguan Li Ye's body falls on the ground, thankfully sanguan Wu Ci catches her before her body falls on the floor "Li Ye, Li Ye!" he shouted frantically, but she already loses her consciousness. Sanguan Wu Ci checks her pulsed to see her condition and he was stunned by how bad her condition is. 

Lory raised her right hand and Girsha flew back toward her like nothing happened, Girsha perch on Lory's arms she spread her white wings majestically, they all dumbstruck by Lory and Girsha, a mysterious air filled the air. Sanguan Wu Ci and the Princes stare at Lory with a dumbstruck expression.

Lory stares back at them, her expression is solemn, she looks regal and charismatic just like a queen stand in front of her subject "I've warned you over and over again but you indulged your sister selfishness, everything has it cost and she paid more than she can give…."

Sanguan Wu Ci presses his lips into a thin line, even though he feel regret for not stoped his sister he still blamed Lory for hiding her pets power, nevertheless, he doesn't realize even if Lory told him how strong Girsha is he will not believe her either, he might think Lory try to scam him.

Not long after dozen of Shadow guards circle around Lory and her friends, they all wear the same black uniforms but Lory knows they are not her people, judging the relief expression from the prince and Sanguan Wu Ci it seems the shadow guards is their people. Lory and her friend's expression didn't perturb even the slightest.

"Arrest her, she….she tries to hurted the Royal family!" shouted Yun Wei Qun while pointing his finger to Lory.

Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying frowned, they immediately stand closely behind Lory, anger, and resentment filled their eyes, obviously, sanguan Li Ye was the one who asked for the beating, how dare they slander Lory shamelessly.

Then another second more dozens of shadow guards appear and circle the previous shadow guard, The Su's sisters are also come with their black and red uniform to protect Ming Yue Yin, the situation become more tensed because Bei Li Yan and Wu San Bo also come, they stood in front of Lory to shield her from danger.

The Guest knows how grave the situation, they carry their fainted friends and family then frantically scramble out of the building, including the waiter and the owner of the place, after all, nothing is more precious than life.

"Young madam are you okay," Bei Li Yan asks worriedly, he is genuine concern for Lory and is not only because of Zhao Li Xin.

"I'm fine" Lory reply calmly she didn't look arrogant or enjoy Sanguan Li Ye's misfortune instead there helplessness flickered in her eyes, even so, she will not help Sanguan Li Ye, not after she tries to take something very precious from her.

"Hei Shen sect what are you going to do, do you intend to start a war with the Yunmo Kingdom!" Yun Yan Qin raised his hands than one of his shadow guards released a flare to the sky, the red light pierce the blue sky as a sign for sending a backup.

All Hei Shen shadow guards and the Su sister take out their weapon, the sound of metal unsheathed make their bones chill, they aimed their weapon to each other and the air instantly becomes heavy they look at each other warily. Yang Xi Ying looks sightly anxious but Ming Yue Yin didn't flinch she rather quite excited while Lory didn't show any ripple in her expression.

"No matter how strong are you, this is Yunmo kingdom territory are you sure you wanted to make ruckus here! Do you think Long Ming will agree with this?" Yun Yan Qin's irritation crackled, nevertheless, deep down he still reluctant to challenged Hei Shen Sect. He had gathered all information about Long ming and Hei Shen sect and the news is not good.

"Empress Ming, you are a monarch, would you lead your people to an unnecessary war, are you not afraid to disappointed your people?" he said again, this time he threatened Ming Yue Yin position as an Empress, as royalty he knew nothing is more precious for a ruler than their own throne, he thought she would feel the same but he underestimated Ming Yue Yin valued and loyalty.

Ming Yue Yin smiles confidently "Without her, there would be no Empress Ming or Liang Zu kingdom as you know now…. I owed her everything…I don't mind with war," she said half-jokingly but there an unwavering determination in her eyes.

"I agree with Yue Yin, we owed her too much and this debt will not be paid in this lifetime I will support whatever decision she make and I know my husband would think the same" she smiles warmly at Lory.

Bei Li Yan and Wu San Bo exchanged a glance with smiles, 'The bird of the same feathers flock together' it seems the idiom cannot be more true, Bei Li Yan and Wu San Bo cupped their fist and bow at her courteously "You are the owner of Xin Xen token, all Hei Shen sect will follow your order without regards"

The two princes and Sanguan Wu Ci are stupefied, they realize they have make terrible mistakes by underestimated Lory's position in the Hei Shen sect and her relationship with Empress Ming and Yang Xi Ying, they curious about what she could have done to deserved such devotion, more question raised in their head 'who she really is?'

Lory is utterly grateful, how lucky she is when she lost brothers she gain sisters. They all stare at Lory, waiting for her to make a decision. Lory shift her glance at the unconscious Sanguan Li Ye then she looks at Sanguan Wu Ci "Your sister needs to learn to take responsibility for her action so when she gets older she would not become someone who believes that nothing is ever her fault" 

Her words struck him, he knows she was right but his arrogance make him unable to accept her words "My sister is just young ignorant young woman, she didn't deserve this"

Lory tilted her head then she asked innocently "Why not?" is not our right to decide what we deserved or don't deserve in this world, we can only accept it and deal with it.

Lory waved her hand to sign her people to sheath their weapon, the Hei Shen Shadow guard follow her order without hesitation, the Su sister glance at Ming Yue Yin then they follow Lory's order after Ming Yue Ying nod to show her consent.

Lory takes a step forward she walks past Bei Li Yan and Wu San Bo then she approaches Yun Yan Qin and stares at him deeply "I don't wish for war, but if you force me…I will" she said with soft but intimidating at the same time.

Yun Yan Qin subconsciously gulped his saliva, which is beyond his comprehension why he feel threatened by her presence, it feel like her shadow grew larger in front of him, for some reason his heart trembles with fear.

"Your decision…your highness" Lory said again.

"I…" he avert his gaze from Lory "Let's not make a mountain out of molehill…" 

Lory make a cryptic smile "Let's not…" then she nod her head gently and walk past him, behind her Bei Li Yan and the others follows her, the commotion stop in a dire moment just like that, however before ming Yue Yin left she look down at sanguan Wu Ci who held Sanguan Li Ye in his embraces. 

"Tell your sister, how lucky she is to be alive…." 

Sanguan Wu Ci glare at Ming Yue Yin, but she's not bothering him, she flicked her sleeve and left with the Su sisters.
