It's almost lunchti when Mong Ki greeted the unwelco guests at the front gate. It was Tian ng Ji, Tang i Yi, Jin Hao, Bei Li Yan, Jiang Jin Wei, and Jiang An Yi. Is Milord holding a private party he didn't know about? If only Wu San Bo joined in, then perhaps he would think that there would be another raid.
Zhao Li Xin doesn't like guests, even the ones he personally invited, so you can only imagine how he's going to feel with so many uninvited guests which ca all at the sa ti! Mong Ki refuses to die like this!
"Which one of you were invited by the Lord himself?" Mong Ki asked sternly.
"I ca to bring this special tea for Ri Yi," Bei Li Yan smiled sweetly.
'Annoying!' that's what Mong Ki's crude expression is saying.
"I'm here to drink wine with Milord," Jin Hao said casually.
'Useless!' another disdained expression appeared on Mong Ki's face.
"I ca here with my sister to et Miss Luo and apologize for my sister's behavior," Jiang Jin Wei bowed politely, Jiang An Yi still didn't want to give in, but her brother threatened her: to kneel in front of Lory or be disowned by him, he will not accept his sister's misconduct again. Jiang An Yi hid her upset look but Mong Ki easily saw through her.
"I hope Miss Jiang knew her mistake. Asking forgiveness half-heartedly might be enough for our kind Young Miss, but for our Lord, a half-hearted feeling is worst than nothing at all. If you co like this, then you will only make our Lord more furious." Mong Ki warned Jiang An Yi as his eyes pierce through her, she suddenly felt cold on her spine, she unconsciously hid behind Jiang Jin Wei.
"Brother Mong, don't say that. It's a good thing An Yi wants to apologize to Miss Luo, you should not be too hard on her," Tang i Yi helped Jiang An Yi, she wants to sow discord inside the Hei Shen Sect, the gullible Jiang An Yi smiled warmly at Tang i Yi's kindness.
Mong Ki's eyebrows creased, "Miss Tang, this is Hei Shen, not Fu Hua. You have no right to voice your opinion," he said coldly. Does she think she's so smart? How could Mong Ki not see through her petty tricks? What an arrogant young lass.
Tang i Yi's face turned red from sha, Mong Ki's words reminded her that she has no position in Hei Shen Sect nor her words an anything inside the sect. Tang i Yi can feel a hard slap on her face, she bites her lower lip to stop herself from cursing Mong Ki.
"Brother Mong Ki is right, Miss Tang. This is Hei Shen's problem, you cannot interfere. My sister had been rude in front of the future Hei Shen's Madam, kneeling is the least she can do but if she's unwilling, I will not stop her from leaving Hei Shen Sect." Jiang Jin Wei's words were calm and firm, at the sa ti, reprimanding his sister and Tang i Yi. He showed his unwavering loyalty to Zhao Li Xin.
"Who… Who said that I'm not willing?" Jiang An Yi was terrified, this ti she really pushed her limit, she knew if she made another mistake, she would be disowned by her brother for good.
Bei Li Yan snorts with mockery while Jin Hao rolls his eyes, no one believed what the stupid girl said.
"You better be, for your own good..." Bei Li Yan sneered at Jiang An Yi as he kindly reprimands her.
"Co on, stop being so serious! Let's enter first," Tian ng Ji wanted to help Tang i Yi save her face in front of the Hei Shen mbers.
"Master Tian, are you here alone or with Miss Tang?" Mong Ki stopped him from entering the front gate, Tang i Yi's face beca distort, he never knew Mong Ki can be so rude towards her, he deliberately humiliated her in front of everyone.
Jiang An Yi's faces also paled, even though his brother had told her Tang i Yi ant nothing to Zhao Li Xin but deep down, she was still not fully convinced. Tang i Yi had been brainwashing her on how much Zhao Li Xin cares for her, but she��herself—witnessed how good Zhao Li Xin treats Luo Ri Yi.
"What is that supposed to an?" Tian ng Ji was enraged at how rude Mong Ki towards Tang i Yi.
Mong Ki's expression was unperturbed, "Milord said that if you're coming as his master, you can enter this place, but if you ca as Miss Tang's master, well… I have to ask Milord's permission," said Mong Ki with an indifferent face.
Mong Ki's words forced Tian ng Ji to choose between Zhao Li Xin and Tang i Yi, he firmly showed his opposition towards Tang i Yi. From this day on, Zhao Li Xin would never welco her again, even as an acquaintance.
Tang i Yi clenched her fist, she will not give up, she still has one card to play, "Tell Brother Zhao I could give him the Chienzi Flower to cure him." her eyes brimming with confidence.
Mong Ki face changed slightly. Who doesn't know about Chienzi Flower? This is probably the only thing that can cure Zhao Li Xin's poison, but the problem is no one knows when the flower will bloom, another thing is, only the Sect Master of Jiu Yun Sect and the three Elders knows the flower's location and they would rather die than divulge their secret.
Even so, this still beca their backup plan if Zhao Li Xin weren't able to cure himself but Jin Hao said the probability would only be 50-50.
All Hei Shen people except the gullible Jiang An Yi laughed at Tang i Yi inwardly. Does she want to pave her way to Zhao Li Xin by using the flower? How shaful! What kind of face will she make if she knew Zhao Li Xin has already been cured a long ti ago?
Mong Ki's slight change of expression was taken as approval for Tang i Yi, she thought with this Zhao Li Xin would listen to her, even if she can't get rid of that woman now, she can make Zhao Li Xin owe her, she only needs to persevere and one day, she's certain that she can kick that woman away from Zhao Li Xin. When that happened, Zhao Li Xin and Hei Shen Sect would beco hers.
"You can all enter the main hall, but Master Tian, you still have not answered my question," Mong Ki raised his eyebrows, "Are you with or without her?" he asked again.
Bei Li Yan and the others entered the front gate, Jin Hao gave a warning glance at Tian ng Ji. This would be his last chance to nd his relationship with Zhao Li Xin, if he fails then there won't be a second chance. Jin Hao sneered at Tang i Yi's sly face, he flicked his white robe before climbing the stairs to enter the front gate. Bei Li Yan, with his fiery lavish red robe, threw a mocking smile at Tang i Yi when he walked past her.
Tang i Yi saw Bei Li Yan holding a beautiful ceramic jar, he said it contains a special tea for that woman, since when has he been considerate of a woman? He used to look at her with mockery or disdain, she almost thought that Bei Li Yan was secretly in love with Zhao Li Xin, that's why he is so hostile to her, but why does he want to curry favor to that woman? It doesn't fit his character.
"Master Tian?" Mong Ki pressed again.
"I'm thinking!" Tian ng Ji is in a dilemma. He doesn't know what to do, he didn't want to hurt Lu Yao's disciple and she also managed to get Chienzi Flower for his disciple, maybe he will be cured this ti. Zhao Li Xin should be grateful for Tang i Yi and he should be able to forgive her, but what if he's wrong? Zhao Li Xin is a stubborn person. Once he decided, he would not change. If he said that he ca with Tang i Yi, could it be that Zhao Li Xin will not forgive him and will cut ties with him?
'I should have never trusted you!'
Zhao Li Xin's last words struck him the most, he knew he had let him down so many tis because of Tang i Yi. He's not being a good master to his disciple, he can't let him down again.
"I ca alone!" Tian ng Ji hardened his heart, Tang i Yi was stunned, her eyes bulged. She can't believe what she heard; how could he do this to her? Did he not love her master anymore? Tang i Yi gritted her teeth, she can't let this happen.
Mong Ki sigh in relief, he was glad the old man didn't disappoint his Lord, "Please enter, Master Tian," he raised his hand politely, invited him to enter.
Tian ng Ji ignored Tang i Yi's bewildered eyes, he felt guilty but what could he do? He entered the front gate without looking back, this ti he needs to draw the line if he doesn't want to lose his good disciple.
Mong Ki sneered at Tang i Yi whose expression seed like she swallowed a fly, "Please wait—" then the door closes. Two soldiers guard the front gate, their spear crossed each other as a sign for everyone not to enter, Tang i Yi's face turned red, her nose flared from holding her anger, that Zhao Li Xin's dogs dare to humiliate her, she will make them pay for this!
Mong Ki walked towards the garden pavilion where Zhao Li Xin and Lory are, Lory smiles warmly when she saw Mong Ki coming in at a steady pace, he cupped his fist courteously.
"Milord, Miss Luo," he greets firmly.
"What is it?" like always, Zhao Li Xin would be annoyed when soone disturbs his lovey-dovey monts, but Mong Ki has already expected this, so he was not surprised.
"Master Bei and Master Jin ca for idle chat, Master Jiang and his sister ca to apologize to Miss Luo, and Master Tian is also here," he explained everything shortly.
"Who did my master co with?" he stared at Mong Ki deeply.
"He ca alone, Milord." Mong Ki replied calmly.
Lory smiles in relief while Zhao Li Xin's face remains indifferent, "Tell them to wait." he said with flat toned.
"Milord, Miss Tang asked for an audience. She said she has the Chienzi Flower." there's a hint of mockery in Mong Ki's tone.
Zhao Li Xin's eyes darkened, "Where is she?" he hissed.
"Outside the gate, Milord." Mong Ki smirked, both master and servant exchanged a mysterious glance.
Lory felt the air around them turned tense and sharp; Zhao Li Xin smiled sinisterly. So people never learn, no matter how much you give them a chance, they would never take it. They always co asking for a beating just like a rabid dog. If that's what she wanted, he would gladly reciprocate her wish.
"Send her in." Zhao Li Xin's smile becos eerie.
