They knew sanguan Jin Sheng was not easy to persuade and neither was Long Ming, so the crown prince told her to visit Luo Ri Yi and see what kinda woman she is, hopefully, she's not like what the rumor describes.

Unbeknown to Sanguan Wu Ci the fight between Hei Shen and the sanguan Family could not be avoided, the war between the two giants will be happened with or without her, in fact, Sanguan Li Ye matters was not worth mentioning.

"Well, it wasn't me who led you down this path. I already gave you a proposal that would benefit both of us but you still seem reluctant so what can I say…" Lory let out a long sigh, if Sanguan Wu Ci wants her to take the blame, she wouldn't give that chance!

Knowing Lory doesn't care about his threat, Sanguan Wu Ci snort in annoyance "I think this matter is too big for you to decide on your own, why don't we wait for Long ming and asked his opinion first" he didn't want to admit that he was pushed into a corner by a mere woman.

Lory raised her brows, and the Hei Shen members including Shin Jiu stared at Sanguan Wu Ci as if he was a fool. 

'Are you Nuts, If milord were here you would be a dead man!'

Of course, the arrogant young master doesn't realize how lucky he is, obviously, he was clueless about Lory's position in the Hei Shen sect which is normal because nobody knows except Hei Shen members. Lory takes a long deep breath, she not expected this from Sanguan Wu Ci, who knows he would try to degrading her position right in front of her people.

'Such a low move' she thought.

Lory clenched the armchair "Mong Yi!" she called.

A man with a black uniform jump down from the beams ceiling, everyone was dumbfounded and their expression stiffened, everyone in the room was strong cultivators otherwise The sanguan family and the royal family wouldn't employ them as bodyguards, however, their self-confidence crushed when they didn't notice that someone was hiding above them.

If Mong Yi had intended to harm Sanguan Wu Ci or Princess Yooya then their master would have been hurt by now, feeling ashamed they all glare at Mong Yi while Mong Yi himself was oblivious to what people thinking and he doesn't care anyway.

Like master, like servants, after long times serving Zhao Li Xin, Mong Yi subconsciously picks up some of his Lord attitudes.

 Mong Yi kneel on one knee in front of Lory "What's your order young madame?"

Lory crossed her legs leisurely, she rested her cheek with her fist, her posture calm and relaxed "You heard everything right? Master sanguan said I need to seeking my husband's approval before I decide anything, what do you think?" she spoke softly and clearly it almost sounds innocent, but the toneless of her voice showed them otherwise.

 Unlike Zhao Li Xin, he felt a different type of pressure hitting his chest, Mong Yi then realize that lory was holding her anger, he gulped nervously then with a firm voice he says: "As the owner of Xin Xen token, you have the authority to decide everything and moves the Hei Shen power and when Milord cannot be present Young madam naturally become the Lord representative and your words carry the same weight as Milord would be"

It's like giving a slap to Sanguan Wu Ci, his face turn from white to red. He knows Lory just shows off his sovereignty to shut him up. What could sanguan Wu Ci say right now, is he want to persistent not to acknowledged Lory's words, if he dares to do that he knows he would not make it out of this place in one piece.

Everyone in the room could feel the level of intensity in the room increased tremendously, The Hei Shen members only need Lory's command and they would not hesitate to teach the sanguan family master and his cronies how to behaved inside Hei Shen territory. Princess Youya expression stiffens, she realizes how dangerous the situation right now, one word from Lory and she would drag this city into chaos.

All of a sudden Lory clapped her hands then she broadens her smile "You see Master sanguan, you got nothing to worry about, My words is hard as steel"

Anger stirred within him, but he had no words to counter her statement. As soon as Lory spoke, the hostility inside the room instantly diminished, the Hei Shen members know Lory didn't want to escalate the problem so they lower their threat. Their obedient surprised Sanguan Wu Ci and Princess Youya, they stare at Lory who was sitting on her respective chair with a warm smile plastered on her face.

Both of them thought they must to re-evaluated Lory's position in the Hei Shen sect because she didn't look like a beautiful vase who was kept by Zhao Li Xin, instead, she looks like someone who had an equal position as Long Ming. The Millions gold taels question would be 'HOW?'

How could a wasted woman who can't cultivate and come from a lowly background, not only gain Long Ming trust but also the respect of Hei Shen members, they concluded this situation based on no one interrupting Lory while she was talking, no one dare to give gentle reminder or told her to re-think her decision. 

They all waited patiently on the side just like a loyal eunuch one could find the imperial palace, they stood there and awaited whatever order from her, and more than anything they saw an amount of trust in Hei Shen members eyes, it's clear that they all believe in her decision and willing to follow her order, whatever that is.

"Is there anything else you would like to say, Master Sanguan?" Lory asks politely while tilting her head.

"No…" Sanguan Wu Ci's hands tighten into a fist.

"Madam Zhao, may I ask you if you busy today, otherwise would you mind spend this evening with me?" ask princess Youya.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure" Lory nodded.

"Oh, wonderful!" Princess Youya's delicate face beaming with joy then she looks at Sanguan Wu Ci "Master Sanguan, how about you, would you like to join us?" she smiled widely that her eyes turn into an adorable crescent.

After what happened, how could he stay in this Manor any longer, and he couldn't boldly join the conversation between girls, it would be inappropriate and awkward at the same time, he didn't see any benefit to wasted more time. He shook his head then cupped his fist "I'm afraid I have other things to do, I hope your highness didn't mind"

Princess Youya already expecting this answer "What a shame, but I don't want to take up any more of your time so…farewell Master Sanguan" Princess Youya smile beautifully as she portrayed herself as a gentle lady.

Sanguan Wu Ci bowed his head then he turned his gaze to Lory while Lory gracefully sauntered toward him, her elegant and poise demeanor make him feel perplexed, could someone feel hated and love at the same time, the more she provokes him the more he drawn to her.

Envy was starting to creep into his heart, if only she hadn't married Long Ming, if only he had met her first, she could have been his. He gave Lory possessive looks, the more he knows about her the stronger his feeling towards her. Sanguan Wu Ci cursed the fate that made Lory Zhao Li Xin wife, if only she married someone else he could use means to snatch her away from her husband, unfortunately, Zhao Li Xin is no ordinary man. 

"Thank you for your visit" Lory bow her head slightly.

Her formalities make him feel soured as the distance between them gradually grew further "I just realized Lord Long Ming is very lucky to marry someone like you" he stares at her as coldness and loss fill his heart, he cupped his fist and bow courteously "I hope madam would forgive my rude behavior earlier"

"Don't mention it, farewell master Sanguan," Lory said in the same formal and distant manner.

Sanguan Wu Ci forces his smile, the housekeeper gives a polite gesture to escort him out of the manor. Lory saw his back leave the room, something feels off but she pushes the thought behind her back since she has something else to handle. 

"Would you like to see the garden, her highness?" Lory's demeanor becomes milder after sanguan Wu Ci left. Unlike sanguan Wu Ci, her opinion about Princess Youya was not so bad, Lory was also curious about what Princess Youya wanted from her.

"I would love too" she replies happily.

Lory then waved her hand, immediately a boy trotted towards her. The boy has a refined look, his skin fair and flawless, he looks like an immortal child in the storybook. Princess Youya had noticed the boy's presence from the first time he arrived but she didn't probe because Lory didn't introduce him.

"Yes, master" he bowed his head courteously.

Instantly Princess Youya and her entourage stunned, no one knows Lory has a disciple, by the way, what a wasted could teach anyway? Princess Youya perplexed she doesn't know what else she could expect from this mysterious woman.

"This child is your disciple?" ask princess Youya.

"Yes, his name is Shin Jiu, Lu Shin Jiu to be precise" Lory patted Shin Jiu's head dotingly.

As if she was struck by lightning in a broad daylight, princess Youya couldn't hide her shock, she looks at Shin Jiu with bulging eyes 'Lu Shin Jiu, as 'Lu' from the Lu clan? The blessed child that's had been fighting on by sacred mountain peak!'

"Cute isn't it?" Lory chuckles lightly, while shin Jiu pouted seemingly not happy lory treated him like a child but he didn't avoid her hands either.
