In the morning Zhao Li Xin was playing Gu Qin in the pavilion, a lodious sound penetrated the air and spread throughout the residence while Lory leaned against the pavilion's wooden railing feeding the fish when Mong Ki and Mong Yi walked towards them.
"Greetings Young Masters and Madams" Both Mong Ki and Mong Yi cupped their fists and bowed their heads respectfully.
Zhao Li Xin's fingers suddenly stopped then she glanced at the Mong brothers, "Speak?" he said lazily as he waved his hand and Gu Qin disappeared into his ring.
Lory put the fish food bowl on the side and then sat down beside Zhao Li Xin while casually folding her arms on the table.
It was Mong Yi who spoke first "We received word from Master Wu regarding the plan to destroy the Heaven's Gate sect's protective array, Master Wu said he will be assisted by Miss Guan to approach Gao Mo, one of Wei Zu Tian's Heaven's Knights according to Miss Guan compared to the other Heaven's Knights. Gao Mo is Wei Zu Tian's closest person so he should know more about the protective array compared to other Heaven's Knights"
"Gao Mo?" Lory tilted her head as she try to recall the man behind the na then she suddenly rember "Is he the muscular monk who stares lustfully at Bei Li Yan?"
"I don't rember but there is such a person around Wei Zu Tian" Zhao Li Xin replied nonchalantly because he honestly had little attention to other people other than Lory.
"I heard the man is very dangerous, would it be alright for miss Guan to get close to him?" although she said she wants to hasten the plan but not at the expense of soone else life especially Guan n Niang, that woman has suffered enough.
"Please do not worry madam, Master Wu and the other will stay on guard to make sure of Miss Guan's safety he told us to give him three days after he gives us a sign we should attack the heaven's Gate headquarter right away" Mong Yi explains.
"So we need to prepare in three days" Zhao Li Xin muttered while lean her back in a relaxed manner seemingly unperturbed by the upcoming war.
Not long after, Jiang Jin Wei from afar walked hastily towards them, his expression a bit tense like he had a lot on his mind, and the thick beard on his face also only added the pressure of his presence.
Jiang Jin Wei stop in front of the pavilion then he cupped his fists and saluted Lory and Zhao Li Xin, "Milord, Young madam"
"How are you Master Jiang" Lory greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Thank you for your concern Madam, I am doing fine" he replied politely then he turned his gaze towards Zhao Li Xin "There is news from the vermillion red Palace saying Jin Kai had died during the fight in the Misty Lake clan territory, he was killed by Jin Hao and the others and currently Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan are on their way to the Hwang Wu continent maybe they will arrive three days from now," Jiang Jin Wei said.
Zhao Li Xin smiled faintly 'How convenient'
"Jin Kai has died?" although Lory had expected this alas the news still shook her knowing another victim of Lazarus had fallen.
"What about Jin Hua and Lan Hua? is there any casualty in our people?" Lory's expression beca tense with worry.
Jiang Jin Wei then replied "Thankfully Miss Jin and Miss Lan are fine there were no casualties on our side but many were seriously injured but overall everyone is fine"
Lory heaved a sigh of relief imdiately the giant boulder in her chest was lifted gradually her expression beca more relaxed, although she had always said he understood the risks in the war but still losing friends and comrades wasn't sothing she could accept lightly.
"Is there more information from them?" Zhao Li Xin asked.
"Yes, my Lord but this information is especially given for the young madam....well, Jin Hao said Lao Min Na was rebirth therefore she knew a lot of things?" Jiang Jin Wei frowned, not even he could understand the information he just conveyed.
Everyone simultaneously turned to Lory but Lory was silent his face paled and his mouth opened slightly as her heart beating rapidly like crazy, it took a long ti for Lory to calm herself down, Lory blinked a few tis with an expression that mixed between shock and confusion.
Zhao Li Xin grabbed Lory's hand, "Lory, are you okay?" he looked at her with eyes filled with concern for all he knew Lory wasn't soone who was easily surprised therefore for Lory to make a big reaction like this was a sign sothing really bad was about to happen.
Girsha suddenly flew down and landed on the table smoothly "For humans to repeat the ti of their birth while retaining their mories is impossible as it would interfere with the fate of many people as well as the flow of ti and for all, I know only the 'Chaos Child' can create such situation and not even them involve anything like a rebirth" there's a hint of panic in Girsha voice.
"Chaos Child?" Zhao Li Xin's expression deepened as she rembered hearing the na Child of Chaos from Huwang Shen Zi the first ti she t during their fight with the people of the Sacred Mountain Peak a long ti ago.
Lory poured herself a cup of tea to ease her chaotic emotion and then calmly sip her tea and then with a steady voice she explain: "Chao Child is a special type of human that is born once in a thousand years if not more, well there's no actual records about them...but one thing I know is they have the ability to change fate in exchange for their lives" Lory take a deep breath before continues "But rebirth is sothing else... reliving your life is sothing unthinkable, sothing that can only exist in fantasy stories" Lory sighed as she placed her teacup gently on the table.
"Obviously that's was Lazarus doing" Girsha's voice turned icy cold.
"Obviously...again at that ti he should have been seriously injured when he transmigrated into this world like yet he used whatever power was left to turn back ti for Lao Min Na...why?"
Jiang Jin Wei then suddenly rembered the rest of the news he exclaid, "Jin Hao said Lao Min Na actually wanted to draw my lord to her side using her ability to heal Milord but Lao Min Na attempt failed because madam had healed Milord first"
Lory and Girsha exchange glances then they turn their eyes toward Zhao Li Xin.
"Lazarus wants him..." Lory gapes at him in horror.
"Why, because he is the first King descendant and the rightful owner of The Crimson Lightning Sword?" Girsha bewildered.
Lory shook her head "Then he should have killed Li Xin why bother healing him?" Lory thought sothing was still missing.
There was a long eerie silence that lood over them like a dark shadow, everyone expression beco tensed. Lory bit her thumbnail anxiously, she wreck her brain trying to figure out what Lazarus want with Zhao Li Xin.
"A vessel!" Girsha suddenly breaks the silence.
Zhao Li Xin narrows his eyes "A vessel...of what?"
"From Lazarus himself," Girsha's voice cos out stiff and heavy with emotion.
Lory suddenly stood up from her seat, the panic on her face was so obvious she then walked back and forth frantically while clenching her fists in front of her chest Lory muttered incoherently, "No, that's impossible, you need the vessel's approval to do that and Li Xin won't allow it....unless the plans have changed, but….Lazarus hasn't tried to attack Li Xin head-on so the plan probably is still going….impossible, impossible!"
"Lory" Zhao Li Xin called out to her anxiously. It was the first ti he'd seen Lory look lost and stressed.
But Lory didn't seem to have heard Zhao Li Xin call as she kept mumbling to herself non-stop "What does he want to do - what does that demon want to do? It should be !"
"LORY!" all of a sudden Zhao Li Xin stood in front of her then cupped her face and looked deeply into her eyes, "Calm down..." he softly said.
Lory was snapped back by Zhao Li Xin's voice gradually her chaotic emotions subsided but panic still lingered in her eyes.
"Whatever Lazarus wants, whatever plan he cos up with, we won't let him succeed, we will fight him together as usual!" Zhao Li Xin's firm voice and the unwavering determination in his eyes automatically cool her down.
"You are not alone, Girsha, , The Hei Shen sect, Ming Yue Yin, Li Mo Zhen, and many other people are fighting with you, we will not lose, I will not let it happen, you trust right?" Zhao Li Xin's onyx eyes bore into her just like a mirror she can see her reflection in his eyes.
Lory holds her tears and nods profusely "Yes, I believe you!"
