Chapter 160 - Strange Illness

"You...you from Hei Shen Sect?" Yang Xi Ying dumbfounded.

A minute ago someone said she has a guest looking for her, she's too preoccupied with her thought she forgot to ask who is the guest when she enters her manor main hall his Father sits on his chair with an indescribable look. Across his chair a man with a black uniform sits quietly, he has manly and handsome but his expression is too rigid, the cold man sits quietly without touching his drink he lifts his head when he notices she's coming.

"My master send me to talk about your request about Master Li" Mong Ki nod his head slightly.

"Thank you, but the flower that Miss tang request…" she want to say she can only give the flower after Li Mo Zhen completely cured.

"Miss Tang had nothing to do about this, she is from Fu Hua, not Hei Shen, her words cannot represent our Sect," Mong Ki draw the line between Tang Mei Yi and Zhao Li Xin he didn't want Tang Mei Yi to take advantages their Lord names any further, he knew after this the governor maids and male servant would spread this news like candy.

"Then…..about the flower…" Yang Xi Ying confuses she becomes anxious, she worried what would happen with her agreement then?

"You can talk everything with our Lord and young Miss, please follow us" Mong Ki said again.

"Wait, my daughter cannot go alone!" the governor suddenly stop them "She is unmarried maiden I can let her leaved without anyone with her" the governor knew how much power Hei Shen hold leaving his daughter facing Lord Long Ming by herself facing someone like Long Ming is nerve-wracking even for a high-rank official like him, he wishes to accompany his daughter but alas they didn't invite him so he can only stay and send his best man to follow.

Mong Ki's face remains stoic "Sure!" he replied shortly.

After that three-man follow Yang Xi Ying and Mong Ki they left the governor manor with carriage it's already dark when they finally arrive at Zhao Li Xin villa, two guards with gold lion mark on their armor guard the front gate, they retract their spear from the gate when they see Mong Ki then they open the gate for them.

Yang Xi Yin follows by her three bodyguards they all surprise how strong the mere gatekeeper cultivation are, they only slightly below Yang Xi Yin's bodyguard cultivating.

Mong Ki lead them to the garden behind the main building, the garden is not as big as her garden at the governor manor but it's beautiful with flower bush all over the place including peach blossom three who is standing near the big pond while the wind blows the petal flower gently make the pink petals dance in the air, one by one the petals fall on the pond quietly.

In the middle of the garden a woman with a blue dress holding a rabbit shape lampion she smiles happily without care for the world then not far from her a young man sitting inside the pavilion his eyes fixed on the woman with a blue dress, the young man has an exquisite face like an immortal deity, beautiful as heaven but cold as glacier.

Yang Xi Yin stunned by how remarkable the young man face but only for a second then she remember how cruel this man can be, she had met this man once and saw what he had done to Han Yuan even though she didn't feel bad for Han Yuan but the fear Zhao Li Xin imprint in her memories is still not forgotten.

Lory put down his lantern then she makes a long stride towards her with big smiles plastered on her face "Miss Yang, do you remember me?"

"Miss Luo, is nice too meet you again" she bow respectfully bit Lory stop her immediately.

"I wish we met in better circumstances" Lory feel bad for her, she feels Yang Xin Ying looks thinner than before.

Her genuine care comfort Yang Xi Ying heart "Thank You"

"Let's talk about your fiancée first" she guided Yang Xi Ying inside the pavilion, Yang Xi Yin sign her bodyguard to keep their distance is not like her bodyguard could do anything if that man with black robes wants to do anything, the three bodyguards perplexed how strong Zhao Li Xin aura is.

Lory used the same pink tea to served Yang Xi Yin and it's stunned her, even her cannot easily get this pink blossom tea but this woman in front of her served her without showing any hesitation.

"Thank you miss Luo" Yang Xi Yin sip her tea gracefully which make Lory give her ten-point for perfection then she suddenly remembers a certain empress who don't have a clue about graceful.

Not long after Jin Hao also coming as someone who will treated Li Mo Zhen he need to know everything about his condition. Yang Xi Yin was overwhelmed when she saw Jin Hao, who could have thought she would meet the White Dragon palace himself, this meeting is more relaxing and assuring compare to her meeting with Tang Mei Yi.

Yang Xi Yin begins her story "This happened three months, two weeks and two days ago"

'Precise.....I like it'

Jiu Yun Sect is known as their talent in sword arts so they are obsessed to gather everything involved with sword arts, that including martial arts books, swords array and the sword itself.

One day Li Mo Zhen heard the news about divined sword not far from his sect the rumor said is the sword belong to legendary immortal sword warrior, the stories said inside Hung Zi mountain there someplace who is divided by deep chasm is the place of the swords warrior and his family clan lived.

"Is Master Li looking for that sword in that place?" Lory asked.

"Yes, he is not alone though, he bring two other people with him to investigated that place" her arms fall on her lap helplessly she sat with downcast eyes "Then he missing for two weeks, we heard no news about him then elder Mu looking for him by himself he found Brother Li cross the bridged all alone.....elder Mu said he didn't look like himself…."

"What happened?" Lory asked again.

"I don't know why he begins to attack Elder Mu and not just Elder Mu, he attacks everyone and anyone….including me" Yang Xi Yin clenches her fist, Li Mo Zhen is kind and gentle he never raised his voice in front of her moreover hurt her so she was taken aback by this.

"I don't know what kinda illness inflicted this sudden changed but his condition is getting worst, we had no choice but chained him inside the dungeon, we don't want to but we had no choice, Mis Luo, Lord Long Ming, Master Jin, Please…please help us, I will give you anything but please….save him"

Yang Xi Ying grabs Lory's hand she cries with deprecated expression.

"Calm down Miss Yang, we will try our best" Lory tries to calmed her down.

Jin Hao got intrigued "There are a few diseases that can make a symptom like this, it's something that might be an illness who hit brain function or it could be a parasite"

"Why don't we check now!" Lory said abruptly "Is not like I have something better to do tonight" she grinned at Zhao Li Xin.

"It's late, don't you feel tired" Zhao Li Xin worried more for her.

"I think Jiu Yun would spare me a bedroom if I tired" Lory raise her eyebrows then widen her eyes meaningfully at Yang Xi Yin.

yang Xi yin understands immediately "Yes, of course, all of you are an honorable guest for Jiu Yun Sect, we will do our best to make you all comfortable" Yang Xi yin assured him, of course, she elated when she heard they want to check Li Mo Zhen condition so soon.

"Brother Jin, you don't mind?"

Jin Hao shrug his shoulder "I got nothing to do" he said indifferently.

Lory shifts her gaze back at Zhao Li Xin "Pleasee…." She blinks her big doey eyes repeatedly make her clear eyes moist.

"That….." Zhao Li Xin didn't want her to go to the mountain this late, it's cold and windy what of she sick even with the necklace in her neck doesn't mean she will immune by any sickness but Lory begging him with puffy cheeks and that eyes….DAMMIT!

"Fine we leave now but you must wear more layer and don't forget your cloak!" he begins to nagging her.

"Okay, okay, I get ready now!" Lory cheers then she runs to her room in hasted.

"Don't Run!" Zhao Li Xin nags her again, immediately Lory stops running but she hastens her walk, Yang Xi Yin cover her giggles with her hand, she never know the overbearing Lord Long Ming is a nagging boyfriend, no one would believe her if she told them then she remember Li Mo Zhen, he also used to nags her, her face turns downcast.

Jin Hao stare at Zhao Li Xin with 'Why you even try?' expression.

Zhao Li Xin sighs tiredly what can he do? He is henpecked by her since the moment they are met.

Lory travel light with the spatial ring in her finger she didn't need to fold anything, she just needs to wave her hand just like 'magic' Girsha perch on her shoulder, the bird got excited when he heard they will go to the top of the mountain.

A minuted later lory bak to meet them in the pavilion, Yang Xi Ying surprised when she met Girsha she thought the bird is bigger than the last time she saw it but she pushes that thought behind her head, is not like is important.

Lory and Zhao Li Xin are in the same carriage, Jin Hao used his owned carriage he refused to be third wheel while Yang Xi Ying used her previous carriage, they are go straight to Jiu Yun sect it would be morning when they arrived at Jiu Yun Kingdom.

Lory lay his hand on Zhao Li Xin lap then Zhao Li Xin cover her with fur blanket to keep her warm, he strokes Lory hair gently.

"Why you so eager to help her?" Zhao Li Xin suddenly ask.

Lory was dozed off when she talked with quiet voice "I know how it feel when you lost someone you love…" her conscious gradually wash away "It's like…someone grab my heart out of my chest…" her voice become smaller then she become silent zhao Li xin look down then he see her peacefully sleep, Zhao Li Xin fixed her blanket he didn't said anything he take a deep breath then he look at the distance with pain remains in his eyes.
