A Journey Against the World
Chapter 175

"Miss?" Chi Su patted Shua Xie's shoulder. It made Shua Xie a little surprised. "You're daydreaming because of the words, Jiazhen?" ask Chi Su slowly. He thinks it's because of that. Somehow Jiazhen suddenly said that Shua Xie was not her mother, even Jiazhen ran away from Shua Xie. Of course, it made them all surprised including Chi Su, even though during this week Jiazhen had said longing for Shua Xie. But why after the return of Shua Xie instead he said strangely so.

Chi Su thought Shua Xie was going after Jiazhen, but it turned out that Shua Xie let Jiazhen go with her two older sisters. And now, Shua Xie was daydreaming staring at the path Jiazhen walked away from her.

Shua Xie gave a smile to Chi Su. "of course. But I let him go so he could think first. Maybe he was too angry with me because I didn't tell him about my departure back then" Shua Xie replied a little sadly. Even he was holding his chest looking pitiful.

Chi Su was speechless, he felt that what Shua Xie said was true. It was likely that Jiazhen was angry because of the matter. But what he did not think, why did Jiazhen say such a word. As far as Chi Su was concerned, any anger the 3 children had with Shua Xie would not dare to say such words either. Chi Su knew the 3 children loved Shua Xie very much.

Shua Xie sighed softly then patted Chi Su on the shoulder. "Let them. What if you accompany me to Emperor Feng Kim's residence? I have a little business with him." Chi Su nodded slowly.

"good. Let's go now." Shua Xie turned around, walking back on the road that had been stopped by the 3 boys. Chi Su followed him from behind.

Inside a room, an aging man was busy struggling with the number of documents on the table. The busyness of the man even seized the attention of his sister who was busy sitting eating wine in a wooden chair.

Feng Kim confirmed his glasses while continuing to write something on the paper flyer. Seeing that, Feng Xian clucked softly.

"Cih, it turns out you're still the same, always doing something so seriously. I'm not even sure you're going to give me back the Emperor's post."

Feng Kim looked up briefly at Feng Xian, then again busily wrote. "I won't give this post to a slacker to you anymore. You've always even asked Eunuch Lu to do all the important paperwork. Not knowing why the officials could be fooled by your wisdom," he replied casually, but so violently slapped the younger brother's face as the former Emperor even if it was only a few years.

Feng Xian held onto his chest, there was indeed no piercing weapon there, but why did Feng Kim's words feel even more pain than being pierced by heat. "Aren't your words a little exaggerated? I mean, you're supposed to keep a little bit of my image in front of the others."

"I'm just telling you the truth. Who else will hear besides me and you?" Feng Kim relaxed back. Still busy with paper and pen.

Feng Xian pursed his lips in annoyance. 'Of course there are readers. They'll laugh at me, no matter how I'm Uncle, I mean Shua Xie's aunt.'

"The Great General." Eunuch Lu came in a bit of a hurry. Feng Xian frowned at the unusual arrival of Eunuch Lu, always calm and relaxed.

"What's wrong?" feng Xian replied half-whispering, not wanting their conversation activities to disturb Feng Kim's busyness. Eunuch Lu brought his mouth closer to Feng Xian's ears, whispering something there that made Feng Xian's eyes perfectly round.

"really?" asked Feng Xian excitedly. Eunuch Lu nodded slowly saying his words.

"Send him in." Feng Xian's orders were swift. Eunuch Lu went to run the order.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so happy?" feng Kim said without taking his eyes off his job. He may seem preoccupied with his work, but his awareness around him is so strong.

"Ogher, the soldier who was with Shua Xie has returned. He wants to face us," Feng Xian replied excitedly.

Nah!

The pen that Feng Kim was holding suddenly fell down onto the white paper below. As if getting some big news, Feng Kim froze in place. But not long after, he immediately looked up at Feng Xian.

"Send him in!" he said fast

Feng Xian widened his smile. "That's what I told Eunuch Lu."

Along with that came a burly man dressed in the special clothes of the Xuilin royal warrior. He's Ogher. Ogher immediately saluted the two big figures.

"Greet His Majesty the Emperor and the Great General."

"You, quickly tell me where Princess Shua Xie is." Feng Kim first asked before Feng Xian. He didn't even care about the respect Ogher gave him.

"Jawab, Your Grace. Princess Lima is on her way here. The princess asked the servant to face saying her arrival," replied Ogher.

Brak!

It was not Feng Kim but Feng Xian. Somehow the figure of the General suddenly kicked across the table in front of him. Feng Kim and Ogher stared at him.

"Haha! Damn brat, I've guessed he's still as haughty as ever."

Sir!

Feng Kim threw his pen to Feng Xian's head. "You fuck, how dare you say my daughter like that!" his reply that Feng Xian did not accept insulted his daughter. Actually Feng Xian did not insult him but rather the opposite. But since his words were quite rude among the nobility, it was only natural that Feng Kim was angry.

"Uh, I'm too excited. Why are you throwing me with this fucking pen?" Feng Xian grunted in annoyance as he looked at Feng Kim. But his gaze did not last long because Feng Kim's gaze was in fact more frightening than even a ghostly gaze.

Ogher only gave a stiff smile at the behavior of the two high officials. They may indeed be brothers, but who can guess their familiarity is much closer than what many people imagine so far. Because since Feng Xian stepped down, many said the relationship between brother and sister began to stretch.

"Tell me where he's been all this time?" Feng Kim continued the question and answer session that was delayed because of his sister.

"Jawab, Your Grace. The princess took the servant to a very far place and even there were many powerful warriors. Their power has never even been in our territory. The princess called it the Underworld," Ogher replied calmly.

"The Underworld?" Feng Kim was silent as a statue in the place where he sat. His eyes were focused forward but looked empty. It seemed like Feng Kim was nostalgic about his past memories.

"What's wrong? What about the Underworld?" feng Xian was curious. Seeing Feng Kim behave as I did, there must be something he did not know.

"There, if not wrong, is an acquaintance. But I'm not sure about that." Feng Kim was pensive again. 'How did Shua Xie get there? What is he really that strong?'

A moment of silence, waiting for what else Feng Kim would say. And right at that moment, there was the sound of screaming from outside.

"The Fiveth Princess is coming!"

Reach all the gazes towards the slowly opening door. Looks like a pretty girl came in alone. Feng Kim suddenly stood up, as did Feng Xian. Ogher moved to the other side and looked down.

"Greet His Majesty the Emperor." Shua Xie was intending to pay his respects, but before that happened, Feng Kim was already standing in front of him. Intercepting him salutes.

"You're finally home." Feng Kim without hesitation hugged Shua Xie. Let go of her worry and longing all this time. On the other hand Shua Xie froze in Feng Kim's embrace.

"Shua Xie, what's wrong? Why are you quiet?" Feng Kim made Shua Xie re-conscious in his daydream.

"There's nothing." Shua Xie shook his head slowly while smiling faintly.

"Really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Shua Xie!" Feng Xian flapped Shua Xie's shoulders a little hard. It would indeed not have any impact on Shua Xie, but Feng Kim could accept seeing Feng Xian hit Shua Xie.

"What's? I just say hello. Why is your gaze already like it wants to kill me," Feng Xian said as he looked at Feng Kim a little nervously. How not, Feng Kim looked at him as if he was staring at the most dangerous enemy. This Feng Xian was his brother.

"Dad." Shua Xie broke the slightly gripping atmosphere.

"Yes, Shua Xie?" Feng Kim turned to him. His mood returned well. Feng Xian was relieved of that.

"There's something I want to tell you." Shua Xie continued with a slightly serious look.

"Whatis that? Say."

"If a woman comes to see Dad. The girl had silver hair like her eyeballs. Don't listen to anything he says. She's a dangerous woman" Shua Xie said very seriously. The look on his face that did not show the slightest serenity. Even he did not blink at all when talking about it.

"What's wrong with that woman?" feng Xian was curious. Why was Shua Xie suddenly talking about a foreign woman.

"Because he's coming to see you. I just want you guys not to listen to anything he says," Shua Xie said a little firmly.

Feng Kim and Feng Xian fell silent while staring at each other. Actually they felt strange about Shua Xie's request on this one, but since Shua Xie said the woman was dangerous then inevitably they had to listen.

"alright. I will listen to your words," Feng Kim replied.

"What about the preparation for war? Aren't you gone for a week because of that?" Feng Xian asked.

"That's the problem." Shua Xie was silent for a moment. "It looks like we just need to focus on the Xuilin kingdom. As for the other kingdoms, forget it." Relax further.

"What?! How could that be!" Feng Xian spoke loudly. Very surprised to hear Shua Xie's words so lightly.

"Shua Xie, you can't possibly forget your promise to the other four kingdoms. They were hoping for you and you even promised to protect them. How could you possibly break your own promise to them?" Feng Xian's tone grew even higher.

Shua Xie clucked softly as he looked for the girl who had been in his body causing him trouble. "For now the Xuilin kingdom is more important than any other kingdom."

"But-"

"I'm sorry if I break my promise. I couldn't find what I was looking for there. I almost died there just for you. Don't you feel selfish giving everything to me?!"

"But that's not what I meant"

"Enough Uncle! I don't want to argue any longer with you." Shua Xie's breath was roaring strong. The glare of his sharp eyes meant his angry self. "Prepare the soldiers. I will lead the war for you."

"But."

Nguong!

Suddenly there was a loud sound like the sound of a trumpet. Sontak made the entire residence fall silent in shock. After the sound of the trumpet stopped, they all rushed out to see what was happening outside.

"What's that?" feng Xian asked as he looked up at the sky. "Homestos?" ask again.

Chi Su ran over to Ogher. Same with Eunuch Lu. Several soldiers guarding the vicinity of the Emperor's residence immediately came to protect their Emperor.

"That." Feng Kim knew what it was. Which is definitely not a good thing. Even his feet felt stiff looking at the black clump in the sky.

"They're coming. Why so fast?" Shua Xie clucked softly.

"So they've come?" asked Feng Xian. Feng Kim patted his shoulder while looking at him very seriously. From that gaze Feng Xian knew the answer.

"Get all the troops together immediately!" feng Xian shouted at the soldier behind him.

"Ready gather!!"
