Chapter 98: Ch. 46 Part 1

Xiao Ling calmly rose up from his bowing position, his hands still cupped.

"Xiao Ling asks her highness the empress for forgiveness, Xiao Ling was short sighted to recognize the empress. This is the first for Xiao Ling to come to the capital, Xiao Ling doesn’t know the rules here" he calmly explained not giving the empress time to vent. Everyone was taken aback by his words, some thought no wonder!

"Really? Its no wonder!" The empress exclaimed, whispers broke out. "Who’s your husband and how come you’re here when it’s your first time here?"

"Answer to the empress, my husband is a Martial Arts master named Jun Yanzhi. We were invited here because my husband is the benefactor of doctor Shi and Jinhua.. It should be prince Jinhua" Xiao Ling still explained calmly.

Yue and Liu behind him were so pissed that cold air began to raise from them, to think that these blind mortals dare to question the mistress, audacious of these bugs! But the person called Xiao Ling really didn’t care much, the reason he introduced Yanzhi as a Martial Arts master was because sooner or later it’ll be known and also with that the empress wouldn’t push things much.

Again everyone was taken back, a ger married to a martial arts master? That was the first in history, at most he should be a concubine right?

"You’re a concubine?" someone inquired out of curiosity.

Everyone perked their ears to hear his answer, they all wanted to know. Because at most when a ger is married to a martial artists be it a master or disciple it’s as a concubine and never the main wife.

"Nonsense! Master only has mistress as his wife and no concubine, never will it be!" Yue strongly refused glaring at the person who asked such a question.

"Yue!" Xiao Ling scolded.

"I’m sorry mistress but that..."

"Enough!" said Xiao Ling.

"Please forgive the child for her rudeness, as my husband’s first disciple protecting her master’s name is a must" Xiao Ling said giving them another shock of their lives.

The empress sized him up closely, such a young child married to a martial arts master as the main wife and girls as disciples? Isn’t that a joke, or are they just lying?

"Where is your husband?" inquired by the empress.

Xiao Ling pointed through the curtains, "that’s my husband sitting with King Pingxi, Imperial doctor Shi and old Fei" in a very calm and nonchalant tone.

The woman and young woman focused their gazes at where Xiao Ling pointed, they nearly exclaimed loudly almost causing the men to look over in confusion.

It’ll be hard not to spot such an outstanding look even through the curtains, white hair and those green eyes, never seen before. His looks was just to die for. Even the curtains shielding their sights failed to shield the beauty of the man.

Yanzhi also looked over long sensing that something was going on over there, seeing through the curtains which couldn’t shield his eyes at all that his little wife was pointing at him, he smiled to his wife making Xiao Ling snorted. This action between the couple didn’t escape the women inquiring, envyness was inevitable because they can see that Xiao Ling was favored! And facing such godly smile, hearts began to beat and married woman and unmarried ones fell at sight! Even the empress blushed inexplicably.

Before more harm could be done because of Yanzhi’s beauty, the emperor look over to their side, everyone sat well in their seats in embarrassment leaving only the empress, Xiao Ling and the two disciples.

"Yue"

Xiao Ling called forth..

"Mistress?"

Yue came over to stay beside him as he leaned to her ears whispering some words into it, Yue’s eyes widened showing dissatisfactions but there was no attempt to refuse Xiao Ling. She reluctantly raised up her hand with her space ring bringing out a very delicate embroidered pouch. She respectfully with two hands brought them in front of the empress. Everyone’s eyes widened and exclaimed.

"That’s a space ring that child wears!"

"Even some martial arts masters don’t even have that, but that child has it!"

"How envious!"

"Just what identity are these people?!"

Exclamations and envious words, some even biting their handkerchiefs.

The empress watched their actions with bewilderment but still maintaining a calm and gracious appearance. She had heard about it and seen one before, how the emperor had been searching a long time for the space rings, fortunately Immortal Pei had offered one to the emperor but still the emperor isn’t sated with just one. She suddenly wanted to laugh thinking how shocked the emperor would be to see these children with space ring, because from the looks of it she can see that the other young child called Liu also had the same type of ring on her finger. Although Xiao Ling looked not to be wearing one but she believes he has one too. She looked confused not getting why Xiao Ling was offering her an embroidered pouch, although the pouch in Yue’s hand was delicate and beautiful she had no shortage of that.

"Xiao Ling offers this space pocket pouch to the empress, Xiao Ling hopes to pacify the empress’s anger with this" he said with a light bow.

Upon his words everyone gasped, even the empress who was trying not to show her desire for the space ring at first couldn’t help but widen her eyes at his words.

"You’re giving a space pouch to this empress?" she asked to be sure whether she really heard his words correctly.

"Yes, Xiao Ling wishes to offer this space pouch to the empress..." Xiao Ling answered... "Yue" he instructed.

The head servant of the empress was about to take the pouch from Yue to the empress in excitement, but was beat to it by empress herself. The empress who was so happy and anxious couldn’t wait to get her hands on the space pouch.

"This empress has perceive your sincerity. If ever there’s something which this empress can help you with, feel free to ask this empress."

The empress barked. For such a precious gift, as the empress she couldn’t be stingy either. Knowing that there’s nothing of value she could give Xiao Ling to make up for his precious gift, she could only promise to assist him if ever there’s a need to.

"Xiao Ling will keep that in mind" Xiao Ling smiled lightly. The empress’s promise has no meaning to him, in the first place he didn’t gift her the pouch because of that. The only reason he offered her the pouch was that instead of solving everything with strength, the same way things can be solved with other means.

Yue sneered unfazed by the empress’s promise, to her nothing is of value comparable to her master’s crafts! Liu who also had the same thoughts just stared blankly without any expression. Xiao Ling could feel their depressed mood but he ignored because such small space pouch was like a drop in their treasury.

"Well, xiao Ling tell this empress how to use this"

Xiao Ling was stunned when the empress intimately called him. Although his name Xiao and xiao may sound the same but the spelling and meaning were entirely different. So instead of using his Xiao which meant dawn, the empress used xiao which meant little and was intimate as if there was familiarity between them.

"Answering to the empress, the empress just have to hold what to put in hand and think of putting in. And when taking out, the empress just need to think about the specific item to take out." he answered without his previous moment of surprise.

Hearing Xiao Ling’s answer, the empress stretched out her hand to the headservant who passed her a hairpin. After taking the hairpin she applied what was taught by Xiao Ling and true to his words the hairpin vanished from her hand as she thought of taking it into the pouch. At the same time to thought of taking it out and it was once again in her her, this action made the empress smiled brightly and marveled. The others also watched marveled and fascinated, even to the extent of being evious of the empress.

"Haha, xiao Ling it really works! This empress is truly thankful."

"Xiao Ling is glad to see that the empress is happy with his gift" uncomfortable with her intimate gestures, he answered wanting to end their exchange. But the empress was too happy to notice his change of mood.

"Why don’t xiao Ling sit with this empress" she offered.

"No need!..." Xiao Ling rejected frowning, coming back to his senses he noticed he might’ve been too rude so he went on to explain. "I mean to say Xiao Ling is greatful for such honor, but King Pingxi had already prepared this seats for us and we’re happy sitting here"

"That’s unfortunate, this empress understands. Well if you change your mind later xaio Ling can come over to me anytime." the empress said with a smile before making her way back to her seat.

Xiao Ling nodded watching her back as she walked away before also taking his seat.

"Are you angry because mistress gave away your pouch?"

As soon as the two of Yue and Liu sat, he asked with her smile in a low tone.

"Yue listens to mistress, whatever mistress orders is what Yue must follow!" she said respectfully earning an approving smile from him.
