Feng Ying and Wang Chen ate with Liu Mei and Liu Changhai at the dining table after the soldiers had already left the dining room. Wang Feng ate too. Certainly not at the dinner table.
The atmosphere felt awkward, especially for Liu Changhai and Wang Chen. There was no talk at all while they were all eating.
After finishing eating, they conversed a little, then afterwards, Feng Ying, Wang Chen and Wang Feng were taken to the throne room. Emperor Liu said he wanted to give something to Wang Chen for his actions that saved Liu Mei this morning.
Although Wang Chen had already politely declined, but still, Liu Changhai forced for Wang Chen to accept the gift from him. Feng Ying herself forced Wang Chen to accept the rewards from Emperor Liu. Finally Wang Chen obeyed Feng Ying's will forcefully.
In the throne room, there seemed to be quite a number of warriors, even Generals. Maybe this happened because they wanted to protect Liu Changhai and Liu Mei. Because after all, Wang Chen, Wang Feng and Feng Ying were strangers. They did not know what would happen if Emperor Liu and Princess Liu were not in custody with them.
"Your Majesty! Her Highness the Princess!" All the soldiers immediately knelt down. Meanwhile, the 3 Generals only bowed their bodies towards Liu Changhai and Liu Mei.
Liu Changhai nodded, "Stand."
After hearing the orders from Liu Changhai, all the soldiers and Generals stood up straight. Their eyes kept watching the motions of Feng Ying, Wang Chen and Wang Feng.
Feng Ying looked uneasy from being noticed with such a gaze by many people. He whispered, "They keep watching us. This is so annoying. Do they want their eyes to be broken?"
"Shhuutt, you want to make matters bigger?" Wang Chen elbowed Feng Ying's stomach and made the young man groan a little. "Aish.. But they're so annoying." Said Feng Ying.
Wang Chen did not pry Feng Ying's words at all. He continued to follow Emperor Liu and Liu Mei from behind, along with Wang Feng. Feng Ying also walked beside him.
Emperor Liu stopped walking after arriving in front of the throne seat, as did Liu Mei. They turned to face the stranger who had entered their palace.
Seeing that, Feng Ying and her two friends stopped walking and now they faced each other with Emperor Liu, as well as Liu Mei.
A General walked towards the Emperor. He immediately gave Emperor Liu a space ring and Liu Changhai received it. Afterwards, the General returned to his place still with a gaze that pointed at the stranger.
Emperor smiled. He thrust a space ring at Wang Chen, "This is in return for you, since you saved my daughter."
Wang Chen accepted it and smiled stiffly, "Thank You Your Majesty."
Liu Changhai nodded. Liu Mei also smiled, "Terimakaish for helping me back then. If you weren't around, then maybe now I wouldn't be here anymore."
Wang Chen replied to Liu Mei with a smile.
"Well, since now our business is done here, now we're gone." Feng Ying turned around and turned her back to Liu Changhai. He walked away so casually, as if he had made no mistake in what he was doing.
The soldiers and the 3 Generals looked at Feng Ying angrily. But they did nothing, because Liu Changhai did not order them to stop Feng Ying.
"Yin!" Wang Cheng cried.
Feng Ying, "Come hurry. Our business is done here, now we're gone." He continued walking without turning around at all.
Wang Chen clicked his annoyed tongue. He looked at Liu Changhai with a guilty look, "Pardon the attitude of my friend, Your Majesty. He has already acted impolitely, please have His Majesty forgive him for his attitude."
Liu Changhai wanted to punish Feng Ying because the young man had been disrespectful to him. But considering that Feng Ying was a friend of the one who had helped her daughter, Liu Changhai could not do such a thing. He nodded with an expression of anger. "I understand."
Wang Chen felt uneasy after seeing Liu Changhai's expression. So did Liu Mei. The woman immediately held her father's hand, hoping that what she did could ease her father's emotions.
"In that case, we beg you to resign Your Majesty." Wang Chen bent his body and after that, he turned around to go catch up with Feng Ying.
Nyawn~
Wang Feng appeared to be humbling his body, as if giving a salute. Afterwards, he left following Wang Chen and Feng Ying.
The gazes of the soldiers and Generals were still fixed on Feng Ying. They were the same as Emperor Liu, holding back anger.
***
After being in the somewhat desolate courtyard of the palace, Wang Chen instantly restrained Feng Ying's wrist from behind and made the young man stop. "Why are you even acting like that to His Majesty? Don't you know, your attitude could get us into trouble!"
Feng Ying glanced back, "I don't care. They also look at us with watching eyes. I don't like. Already, don't think too much about my actions just now. I want to get out of this place." He removed the grip of Wang Chen's hand from his wrist. After which, Feng Ying again walked over without caring for Wang Chen.
Wang Chen sighed. He had to budge with Feng Ying. Wang Chen started following Feng Ying's footsteps. Seeing that, Wang Feng followed behind.
Hearing that, all the soldiers stared in the direction that the soldier who shouted earlier looked at.
Wang Chen was surprised to hear the screams earlier. He instantly stopped his steps, as did Feng Ying. Wang Chen and Feng Ying looked at each other. Wang Chen's eyes were round when he saw Feng Ying's face.
The disguised face of Feng Ying had now turned into his real face. His current face with that of 3 years ago looks even more handsome. But when his face was compared to the wanted poster that contained the image of Feng Ying, then he did not look much different. Moreover, the most prominent of Feng Ying's facial features was the mole that was at the end of her nose. So someone else would have noticed the same face as the fugitive Zhang family who was now looking for a lot of people.
"Y-Ying.your real face.." Wang Chen said with a brick. He was also shocked when he saw that Feng Ying's disguised face had disappeared. Whereas before he went to the palace, he had already given Feng Ying a face-changing pill, since the time had almost reached 1 month exactly, which was once every month, then his disguised face would disappear. So before that happened, Wang Chen gave Feng Ying a face-changing pill. Since the pill was only held by Wang Chen.
"A-what's up?" Feng Ying also felt a bit panicked when she saw Wang Chen's expression. He touched his face.
"Really! He's that fugitive! He looks the same!"
"Then, what are you waiting for?! We'll get him!"
Not yet had the three of them responded to what the soldiers were doing, they were already surrounded and were now in the middle of their circle.
Ggrrrr
Wang Feng growled while staring at that person. Seeing that many people were pulling out swords towards their mother, Wang Feng got angry. Because he thought that they wanted to hurt Feng Ying.
"What are you guys doing?!" Said Feng Ying surprised.
"You're a fugitive! We'll catch you!" Said one of the soldiers while raising a sword towards Feng Ying.
"Your disguise is gone Ying, they now know you're a fugitive." Whisper Wang Chen while staring at the soldiers.
Feng Ying was somewhat surprised to hear Wang Chen's remark. "How is it possible?! I took the pill!"
Wang Chen bit his lips and felt hesitant to speak anything. After feeling reassured, Wang Chen finally opened his voice, "S-it looks like I gave you the wrong pill. Maybe what I gave you just now isn't a face-changing pill, but a pill that can remove a disguised face."
Feng Ying immediately looked at Wang Chen with a sharp gaze. "What did you say? How can you be wrong?!"
"But I feel like I'm taking the right pills. For some reason, the pill I gave you could be wrong." Wang Chen hesitated. He felt that he had given the correct pill to Feng Ying. But why is it like this?
Seeing the presence of a soldier who was about to attack Feng Ying, Wang Feng immediately attacked the soldier with a claw suddenly and threw the soldier into a distance of several meters from them.
Graooo Gggrrrr
Wang Feng growled furiously.
"Pardon me, Ying. But I really don't know. I think I gave you the right pill." Said Wang Chen nervously.
Feng Ying clicked an annoyed tongue, "For now, we get rid of this fellow first so that we can leave."
Wang Chen nodded obediently. He also pulled out the sword that was given by his teacher, patriarch Lao. Wang Chen started attacking and resisting the attacks of the soldiers who wanted to attack Feng Ying.

Elsewhere, a soldier who had first shouted about the Zhang family had now almost reached the throne room. He ran away after shouting several times about the fugitive Zhang family. He would tell this matter to Emperor Liu and the others.
But before he reached the throne room, he saw Emperor Liu, Liu Mei and some people following them out of the throne room. "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Liu and the others turned to the source of the voice when they heard the sound of shouting. The soldier who shouted straight away ran quickly towards Emperor Liu. He held both knees as he tired of running from the front yard to the throne room. "Y-Your Majesty!"
Emperor Liu frowned when he saw his hurried soldier, "What's wrong? Why are you running like that?"
The soldier began to stand upright, although his breath was still stung. "Y-Your Majesty.. In-front of the palace grounds.. Fugitives.. Zhang.." His voice sounded broken, but everyone in front of him seemed to understand what he really wanted to say.
"The demon of the Zhang family is in the palace courtyard?" Emperor Liu said in surprise. Liu Mei and the people behind them were shocked when they heard this news.
"How is that possible?" Emperor Liu said as if in disbelief. How could the fugitive be here? What does he want?
"The demon is. is the person who. along with.. Which.. Gloriously.. Huh.. Huh.." Said the soldier with a gasp.
