Chapter 619 - What Goes Around comes Around II

One thing leads to another, one decision impacts another, just like a line of dominoes that just how fate is. Maybe if she not give Zhao Li Xin poison maybe he wouldn't become like the man he is now. The poison is like a whetstone for Zhao Li Xin's temperament, it teaches him how to endure and persistent. However the constant pain also teaches him to be cold-blooded, merciless, and vengeful, everything just got worst when no one around him teaches him about comfort, love, and care.

People say the children development is influence by the environment and genes, Zhao Li Xin grew up in the worst environment without anyone protection and his genes, if he inherited his father genes then Sanguan Jin Sheng is someone who killed his in-law family regardless of their age and gender, has no surprised Zhao Li Xin become a ruthless tyrant that everyone feared.

One can only imagine how far he becomes if Lory was not there.

Zhao Li Xin sits on the couch near the window his eyes gaze aimlessly to the blue sky until a sound of flapping wings attracts his attention.

"Girsha…should you be with Lory" Zhao Li Xin didn't expect to find the white bird perch on the window frame.

"Lory is not a child who needs constant protection, she's stronger than you know" he snickered.

"I'm sure she is…" Zhao Li Xin make mirthless smiles there's helplessness flash in his onyx eyes.

Girsha let out a long sigh "Lory is not a frail flower, she is born as a warrior, a very powerful warrior – a warrior is who she is – the princess is her pride – and Protector is her destiny, you could never cage someone like her, either you step away from her or fight with her is the only option you got, I know – because I had tried to protect her so many time but is all futile at the end Lory would do what Lory wanted to do and no one can stop her"

"I know…" Zhao Li Xin mutters as he clenched his fist "Lazarus is too strong, for the first time I could felt the hair behind my neck rise, I never encounter something so powerful and that not that demon whole power…."

"And so were you" Girsha cutting off "You can still get stronger – I know you can, the first time I met you I fell warry that because I could felt your potential, it always baffled me where this strength comes from then that 'first kind' said that you are the descendant of this world 'first king' and everything becomes to make sense for me"

"What is it?" Zhao Li Xin frown confusedly. 

Girsha stifles and narrowed his green eyes "Do you think is a coincidence two descendant of the first King from two different worlds meet each other, I don't believe it and I believe neither did you. Someone already made the script, they choose the players and raised the stage to perform one magnificent performance!" 

"What kinda story they concocted for us?" Zhao Li Xin said in low voice.

"Find the sword, and help Lory to get all her fragments and we'll see," Girsha said.

Zhao Li Xin let out heavy exhales "I hope is a great story"

Girsha look to heavenward and lament inwardly 'I just hope is not a tragedy'

A carriage marched on the alley, behind the carriage two bulky men riding a horse follow from behind, the sounds of horses galloping break the silence inside the empty alley, when they enter the intersection suddenly the carriage collide with another carriage, the horse neigh while kicking their front leg.

The men on the horses dash forward as they promptly secure the person inside the carriage "Who are you, how dare you block our leader carriage!" one of the men shouted angrily.

Suddenly someone burst out of the carriage hastily "Please master help my young miss, she faints because of the collision!" a young maid pleaded anxiously.

The men on the horse frowned for a second then he knocked on the carriage window "Master Yuan, a woman fainted after the collision, what master wants me to do?" 

The door of the carriage open and a man with dark purple robes get off from the carriage, turn out the man is Yuan Shao his expression is stoic and rigid as annoyance apparent in his face, he was on the was to Tie Shan manor to visit his dear empress, he was in the joyful mood after what happened last night and he can't stop thinking about Ming Yue Yin in fact he barely sleeping last night as he keeps remember the woman soft body and her sweet lips.

The next morning he can't stop his urged to meet Ming Yue Yin again and thinking to hasten his proposal, there's no way he can't wait another year to marry his beloved woman, he also wants to meet Li Mo Zhen to ask if the offered is still on the table because he need help if he wanted to subdue all the tribes at Zhuan Dong continent in less six months.

Yuan Shao's gazes land on the young maid not far from him. His cold gaze startled the young maid but she braces herself to moves forward. 

"Great master, my young miss is Sanguan Li Ye from sanguan family, please help my young miss if something happened to her how could I answer my old master" she begged tearfully.

He sighs then order his subordinate "Call physician to check Miss sanguan condition"

"Yes master!" the men cupped his fist then he raised to his horse again and left in hurried.

Yuan Shao leaned on his carriage with his hands crossed on his c.h.e.s.t, he looses his previous excitement because of this accident, he noted himself to decreased his coachman salary.

"Yo…young master, could you check my miss condition, I'm worry something happened with her," said the young maid.

Yuan Shao feel annoyed even more "I'm not a physician and I don't know your miss, do you let your miss touch by a mere stranger?" Yuan Shao quipped in indignant, his eyebrows gradually furrow when he saw the young maid perplexed expression, he suddenly feel something is not right.

"No, I'm sorry young master, I just worry for my miss" the young miss bow her head repeatedly with fl.u.s.tered look.

"Then stay with your young miss, why are you here anyway?" Yuan Shao scowled impatiently.

"Yes – yes young master!" the young maid scurry away to her carriage without further ado.

Yuan Shao click his tongue in anger, his other subordinated knew that their master is not in a good mood that means there would be extra training when they got home, Yuan Shao has a very high standard as he set his goal on Zhao Li Xin so he wants to created the same power like the gold lion palace because he knows he is certain once he can reach the Hei Shen standard then he would able to subdue the whole Zhuan dong continent he also has the intention to make his power as an elite soldier that would back up the Liang Zu military power. 

So every day the soldiers under Yuan Shao are experienced hellish training as they drained to the bones just to build their inner and outer strength and when Yuan Shao in bad mood the training just become twice harder and three times demanding, so when Yuan Shao is in a bad mood is not a good sign for the subordinated.

Because of that all of Yuan Shao's subordinated throw a heinous glare at the carriage in front of them, just a moment ago their master seems in a good mood but look what happened to know, they could see blue veins popping in their master forehead.

Not long after Yuan Shao subordinated return with the old physician who slightly looks dizzy after he descends from the horse, the subordinated immediately jump off from the horse and cupped his fist in front of Yuan Shao "Master I got the physician!" he respectfully cupped his fist.

"Tell him to check the woman's condition!" Yuan Shao waved his hand carelessly seemingly indifferent if that woman dead or alive, he just doesn't want to put to blame when people know about this, not because he is afraid he just didn't want to create unnecessary trouble for himself.

The physician immediately run to the other carriage where he welcomes by an anxious young maid, the old physician enters the carriage then check the young lady condition, his grey eyebrows gradually furrow but before he says anything another young maid shoves a pouch inside the physician's hands and smile meaningfully "Is our young miss okay?"

The physician could feel the pouch is quite heavy and his eye lit up then he shakes his head "Yes, the young miss only fainted because she was shocked, don't worry she would wake up in a minute" said the physician.

Because everything happened inside the carriage now one saw anything strange since they could only hear small voices from inside the carriage. Just like the old physician said the lady slowly regained her consciousness.

"What happened?" said the young lady.

"Ah, miss you finally awaked, you scared this lowly servant very much!" said the young maid excitedly.

Soon the physician left the carriage and a young carefully descend from the carriage with the help of her two maids. The lady is only in her fifteen, she got a v-shape jawline with slanted eyes, thick eyelashes, and small plump red lips, the young lady posture is small and delicate, and with flowery pink hanfu and modest hairstyle, the girl looks like a fairy.

Everyone was stunned by the lady beauty, except Yuan Shao who already immune after she saw so many beauty like his sister Yuan Xue An, Yang Xi Ying, and beautiful women at the Liu Yan palace and the reason he loves Ming Yue Yin is not because her beauty but he was attracted by her cleverness, bravery, leadership, and her loyalty, Ming Yue Yin mesmerizing beauty is like an icing on the cake, it just make her sweeter.

"Young master, my name is sanguan Li Ye, thank you for your help" she bowed her head looking timid and bashful. Her gentle demeanor stirred all men's nature to protect.

Yuan Shao subordinated smile playfully, it's not the first time their master make women head over heels to him, but by far this is the most beautiful woman they ever saw at least compare to empress Ming who looks valiant and strong men more attracted to a delicate and frail lady. They all wonder what their master would do, would he change his heart?

Yuan Shao remain expressionless, he looks at the front of his carriage and then he shifted his glance at Sanguan Li Ye "Your carriage is the one who hit my carriage first, but because you are hurt I will not ask for compensation, but the bill for the physician would be left on you since I already kind enough to fetch the physician for you"

"...."

Yuan Shao curls his mouth as he raised his chin "Do you have a problem with that?"

"...."

"I take silence as a 'Yes' then!"
