The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 865 - The Cause Of Rift



At the distance, Zhao Li Xin and Wei Zu Tian appear like two glowing balls chasing each other and colliding like two meteor balls hitting each other, every time their powers clashed, shockwaves shook surrounding them just like an earthquake then followed by a strong gust of wind that lifted dust into the air creating gray smoke across half the city.

Zhao Li Xin then landed smoothly on the pile of rubble that used to be where he lived, it's a shame his Manor collapsed again, not like he cared, though.

Lory says home is not a place but a feeling, since Lory is the one that makes him feel like home, so when she is not here he has no home so what's the point of having a big manor.

"Why are you in a daze in the middle of the fight, Li Xin?" Wei Zu Tian notices Zhao Li Xin's bland expression that is devoid of any emotion so he asks Zhao Li Xin curiously.

Zhao Li Xin stared off into the distance but nothing seemed to reflect in his eyes, then he replied with something that sounded like muttering, "I was thinking about my wife….is she scared? is she hurt? is she worried? it's not even a day but I already missed her"

Wei Zu Tian's expression turned somber as jealousy swirled within him like a hurricane even during the fight, Zhao Li Xin's mind never stopped thinking about that woman, Wei Zu Tian failed to understand why Zhao Li Xin loved her so much as if she had put a charm on him make Zhao Li Xin unable to think about anything else but her.

"Stop thinking about that woman, she doesn't deserve you, she's just a pathetic orphan who has neither power nor wealth that's why she's leeching on you, have never thought about it? she's no different with selfish and greedy women out there!" Jealousy made Wei Zu Tian incessantly vilify Lory in front of Zhao Li Xin.

He hated how Lory controlled Zhao Li Xin's mind whether she was here or not, Wei Zu Tian never seen anyone could affect Zhao Li Xin as much not even the Mong Brother who was always beside him for a long time.

Zhao Li Xin smiled bitterly, "If that was the case, I would be at ease because I am strong enough and rich enough to keep her by my side but my wife is like the wind, she's coming suddenly, she dances around me like butterfly given me so much happiness and peace I never felt before, however, I never know when she will leave me..." as Zhao Li Xin mumbled to himself the image of Lory's back staring at the moon with a lonely expression made his heart tremble, Zhao Li Xin always wondered if there will be a day Lory would ever leave him?

"ENOUGH! stop thinking about him!" His anger flared knowing how easily Lory could affect Zhao Li Xin's mood. Wei Zu Tian then releases an invisible punch towards Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin swiftly created a fire barrier in front of him however Wei Zu Tian force was still able to push him back, using his strength Zhao Li Xin reflect Wei Zu Tian's attack to the side as result it hit half of the Manor that still standing and the entire palace exploded then turned into rubble.

Zhao Li Xin flick his fingers and numerous golden fire arrows flew from him and shot towards Wei Zu Tian, refused to be outdone Wei Zu Tian took out a sword from his spatial ring and nimbly parried all the arrows that were heading towards him easily.

Zhao Li Xin was still far from finished either, he opened his palm and a bolt of fire floated above her hand then Zhao Li Xin threw a firebolt like a cannonball, the firebolt moves faster and grew bigger as it got closer to Wei Zu Tian. Undaunted by the attack, Wei Zu Tian clapped his hands together and the wind that came from his hands extinguished the flames instantly just before the fire got anywhere near him.

still, Zhao Li Xin's expression remained the same as if he had expected this.

From far away several people gradually emerge, it was Zi Quan Mei and several members of Heaven's Gate sect including Lory. Zhao Li Xin stopped his movement then Wei Zu Tian turned around and the side of his mouth curled up in triumph.

"Lory..." Zhao Li Xin whispered her name.

"Stop! Or I won't guarantee what happens to little Shin Jiu" Wei Zu Tian warned Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin stopped, his eyes staring deeply into Lory's face when he saw her swollen cheeks, anger instantly exploded within him like molten lava "Who hurt my wife!" Zhao Li Xin roared furiously.

"LI XIN, STOP!" Lory cried and Zhao Li Xin immediately fell silent, with a hurt look Lory looked at her "You never told me about Shin Jiu" Lory bit her lip trying to quell her sadness.

"That's because...." Zhao Li Xin tried to explain but Lory cut him off, "Please don't...." Lory shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhao Li Xin clenched his fists, deep sadness and pain showed on his beautiful face, "Sorry... I'll come to pick you up soon"

Lory didn't say anything, she turned her face away from Zhao Li Xin's intense gaze.

Wei Zu Tian was satisfied to see the rift between Lory and Zhao Li Xin, it turned out that keeping the child alive was not in vain, if only this was the depth of Lory and Zhao Li Xin's relationship then Wei Zu Tian was sure he could destroy Lory and Zhao Li Xin more easily than what he expected before.

An ecstatic smile spread across Wei Zu Tian's face, his mood soared like fireworks, "You have three days to decide to surrender yourself with me, only then will I release your wife and little subordinate" Wei Zu Tian chuckles then he sashayed with Zi Quan Mei and her other subordinates.

Gao Mo winked at Bei Li Yan before he left and said: "I will wait for you"

Bei Li Yan replied with a disgusting smile, "Please don't"

Meanwhile, the strangely handsome man waved his hand to Jin Hao like a child waving at a clown and Jin Hao narrowed his eyes.

'What the hell?'

Before the old man left he glance at Wu San Bo's words, "I will return for your sword," the old man said to Wu San Bo.

Wu San Bo looked back at the old man in annoyance, "I'm going to auction this sword, just go over there!"

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin watched Lory's back disappear in the distance, there was an indescribable emptiness in her heart that she hadn't felt in a long time.

Mong Ki approached Zhao Li Xin then he said "The plan has started, Milord"

"Who else is following Lory?" Zhao Li Xin's expression turned serious.

"Mong Yi, Mong Liu, and Mong Gi, they all followed Lord Girsa who was also following the madam so they able to maintain a safe distance so they didn't accidentally alert Wei Zu Tian and the others"

"There are only three places Wei Zu Tian will place Lory, both the villa is impossible because the security is too lax,  the other possibility is the Heaven's Gate headquarters on the Hwang Wu continent but that also unlikely because the place is too far and thing could happen along the way, so Wei Zu tian won't take that chance so he most likely placed Lory at the whispering forest and there is a high chance he put Shin Jiu there as well"

"So, what is our next step, my Lord?" Wu San Bo cupped his fists waiting for Zhao Li Xin's order.

Zhao Li Xin rubbed his fingers as pondering for a moment then said firmly: "Destroy Wei Zu Tian villa"

"But, Miss Guan is still there?" Wu San Bo looked a bit hesitant.

"We destroyed the Villa so that Wei Zu Tian will send Guan Men Niang to Heaven's Gate headquarters, we needed her to be there to plan our next move" Jin Hao explained.

"You don't think Wei Zu Tian will take her to the Whispering Forest instead?" Wu san Bo didn't want Guan Men Niang to live in that hell, he didn't want Guan Men Niang to be close to Lao Min Na because Lao Min Na had a tendency to hate beautiful women for some reason.

Bei Li Yan shook his head "No, Guan Men Niang is like a pretty doll to Wei Zu Tian and the Whispering forest is not a place that anyone can enter, that place is the center of everything so he won't bring an insignificant person like Guan Men Niang, ironically, Guan Men Niang little value finally save her this time"

Zhao Li Xin then gave additional orders to Wu San Bo, "Do it as a plan, ensure Guan Men Niang's safety, and use this opportunity to give a preliminary notion of what is happening on the Hwang Wu continent including the location of the crimson lightning sword, and Bei Li Yan I need you to assist Jin Hua and see how the situation in the Misty Lake, while Jin Hao, Mong Ki, and Jiang Jin Wei will follow me to pick up Lory"

"Yes, Milord!" everyone answers simultaneously.

Bei Li Yan suddenly raised his head then he looked towards the city gate "Jiang Jin Wei took quite a long time, huh?
