Chapter 100: Ch. 46 Part 3

Yanzhi took his glass and gulped down the wine, "there won’t be a next time for such schemes against me" putting down his glass he said to doctor Shi who also gulped down his wine. "Never again, your excellency" bowing once more he apologized earnestly.

"Little wife, let’s retire" Yanzhi stretched out his hand to Xiao Ling who took it and stood up from his seat.

"Doctor Shi, I, Xiao Ling, like dealing with honest people. I hate it when people betray me and scheme against me, so I hope what happened this time, will not repeat itself another time. I will forgive you just this time around, we will leave for the village at first light tomorrow, whatever matters are left to discuss will be discussed after you return." With that said Xiao Ling walked side by side with Yanzhi as they waltz out of the hall followed by Yue and the rest. Doctor Shi finally let out a breath of relief, but his heart wasn’t very at ease knowing that he must’ve upset the couple.

The emperor along with immortal Pei and his eunuch also excused themselves not long after Yanzhi and his group. Although he didn’t say anything regarding what happened, that didn’t mean the emperor was understanding and was unconcerned. It was just that as the emperor he couldn’t say or do anything that might go against the teachings that have been past down since ancient times, but a slap like that to his face in public would not be gone unrepaid!

"Immortal Pei, about those couple what do you think about them?" the emperor consulted his right hand man as soon as they were in the premises of the palace.

"I also find them strange, I am unable to tell what their level of strength is. Or whether a martial artist or a cultivator like myself, it’s unsettling."

"Cultivators?" the emperor asked shocked.

Deep in thoughts, one couldn’t tell what immortal Pei was stuck thinking about. A lot of things had gone wrong recently, and that happened just when those group had come to the capital, or was he just thinking wildly?

"Maybe I’m overthinking, they can as well as be just mortals..maybe" immortal Pei said to the emperor.

"Impossible!" the emperor immediately rejected... "there’s no way my brother will standby and watch his son pull such stunt if those couple were just mortals! There’s something to it, and we must find out the identity of those couple at any cost. Immortal Pei, I hope you will help regarding this matter. I can’t be at ease at all if their identity is not discovered, and you’re the only person I can trust with this."

"You need not worry, emperor. I will do everything in my power and beyond my power to unravel the mystery of those people..." with a sinister look on his face, he gave his words to the emperor.

After the emperor excused himself, the celebration continued on normally with no more surprises. No one spoke of what had just happened, but it didn’t mean that the matter had completely died out.

.......

As early as first light, Xiao Ling and Yanzhi gathered all of their people. The newly undeads were sent into the ’Undead Plain’ along with the other undeads, leaving only Bee by his side. Including their carriage, there were a total of two luxurious looking carriages and several horses. Xiao Ling and Yanzhi along with Liu, Bee, Chang and Liu sat in their exclusive carriage. While in the other carriage sat, Old Fei who insisted (begged on his knees and kowtowed several times) to follow them back, Tan Fan and the remaining old, women and children from the destroyed ’Beggar’s Sect’ The young men and women who could ride horses where left to ride with Xile, Lixin, No. 6 and No. 7. Outside the carriages stood the newlyweds who came early to see off Yanzhi and Xiao Ling along with their fathers, King Pingxi and imperial doctor Shi. They bowed respectfully as they watched the carriages and horses slowly galloped out of King Pingxi’s residence, but Yanzhi and Xiao Ling refused to spare any words to them.

"We have angered brother Ling and his excellency" Jinhua said to doctor Shi, while releasing a breath.

"They’ll forget it sooner or later, let’s give them time...since they’ve given as a chance, it’s all worth it"

"You’re right. This stunt shouldn’t be repeated again!" Jinhua turned to doctor Shi as he spoke. "Let’s go back and practice, this time around the gifts we received from them are all to aide as in practice. We have nothing of valuable to gift them, if not I would say we should reciprocate....but we have nothing of value to them." he added.

In the carriage, Yanzhi gave Xiao Ling a meaningful look making Xiao Ling turn his face away in embarrassment.

"What is the matter? Why is Xiang gong looking at me like that?" Xiao Ling asked trying to sound and look calm.

"If I didn’t know little wife better, I would have thought little wife was angry because of such measly schemes. But the thing is that I know little wife, if not better but I do know you’re unbothered...so why put so much efforts? And you also left a shadow to protect them when you’re trying to look angry." Yanzhi analyzed, showing a rare curious look.

".....Xiang gong is right, I’m not bothered. Those two are the first ever friends I’ve had impressions of...in two lives. I just didn’t want such rare relationship such as friendship to end because of human nature. They’re honest, but human nature also gets the better of humans." Xiao Ling said with a little thoughtfullness.

"Matters about them are left to you, I have no care for such mortal issues. But little wife, don’t be too involve with mortals, I must warn you...the path of mortals and immortals are different" Yanzhi said with a very serious tone.

"I understand! Now that matters are taken care of, let’s go back to see the kids...it’s been days now, I wonder how they’re doing without us."

"Little wife, you must be confused."

Xiao Ling turned to Yanzhi with a confused look not understanding what he was implying to, the kids he talked about he was sure that Yanzhi understood his words well. His confusion was answered when he next heard Yanzhi spoke again.

"You and I have no such children as old as them. It seems I have been neglectful of for thoughts for having kids, I have to work hard!" Yanzhi sounded so serious with his words, making Xiao Ling turned red from his face to neck with shyness.

’What nonsense! Although I can give birth, I am a full man okay!’ thankfully he had already discussed with Yanzhi not to read his thoughts, or Yanzhi would be having a blast hearing such thoughts. Not wanting to be embarrassed again, Xiao Ling sat crossed leg and chose to cultivate not wanting to be teased to losing face in front of the kids by Yanzhi!
