Mysterious Shender
⁇ : Everything Can Change Within Overnight

Ying Yue was still upset that Xi Wei sounded like he was mocking her. What he said was also a fact. But it seemed that the Princess was too worried in case she herself could not keep her promise.

"Because I promised you, you said something you shouldn't have said to someone like me, I will teach you how to withstand General Wang's attack for up to a hundred moves. No, if it takes up to two hundred moves."

Ying Yue was astonished.

"How can you?"

"I'm His Senior Sister. But, he himself never fought me directly. After all, have you ever seen the most unreasonable person in the world besides me?"

Ying Yue thought for a moment.

"There was. The emperor was the most unreasonable person in this world."

Xi Wei laughed at Ying Yue's innocent statement. The mature brown-skinned youth shook his head.

"You have much to learn about the way of politics, Little Sister. As a Grand Princess Master, you should be able to understand the Emperor's path of thought."

"What do you mean?"

Ying Yue felt that Xi Wei knew many things that even she herself did not know. But the Princess could only hope that the young man would open his mouth and say it honestly to her.

Xi Wei also understood that Ying Yue did not intentionally want to pry information from him. He understood Ying Yue's curiosity and natural instincts.

"Actually, the Emperor did not want his Grand Princess Master to be guarded by the Crown Prince knowing that the Crown Prince would not like her."

Xi Wei explained what was engulfing Ying Yue. Maybe he'll tell me the details too. He felt that the Princess could keep that secret.

"Then from that, he ordered General Wang to watch over Grand Princess Master. That General Wang formed a faction with Prince Ziling without the knowledge of the Palace people. Even so, he still looked neutral and only sided with the Emperor."

Ying Yue squinted after hearing Xi Wei's explanation.

'This person ... is he making up a story?'

"You could think I was making up a story. But, if you've returned to Yongheng, you can ask General Wang directly whether my words―which sounds like a story is true or not."

Xi Wei abandoned her intention to tell Ying Yue that she and Wanqian were still on good terms. She wanted Ying Yue to find out for herself.

"When to go. My flock this one also doesn't like humans lingering in their territory."

Xi Wei got up from his seat, followed by Ying Yue who was trying to balance with the young man's regular big steps.

"Can't you walk slower?"

"You're slow, Little Brother."

"You're too fast, Old Man!"

Ying Yue gave up. He was silent because he really could not catch up to Xi Wei.

"For the speed test alone have you given up like this? It doesn't seem like you're a good fit for me."

"Hey!"

Ying Yue ran after Xi Wei and managed to catch up to the young man who liked to prank himself because he was annoyed with her.

"You must be given a little nudge to move."

Xi Wei slowed down his steps so that Ying Yue would not be left behind again.

"I'll teach you as long as you stay in Chizi."

"I'm only staying for the next three days."

Xi Wei heard something move quickly. However it seemed as if Ying Yue did not hear it. His sensitivity was indeed lacking even though he studied Inner Energy Science.

'Officer General Wang? Seems not. They don't create wild moves like this. Then it seems like there is only one person who might do it.'

Although Xi Wei knew who did it, he did not chase after that person knowing that person was not a threat. He was just a 'wild' resident who had long lived in that uninhabited area.

"A tomb?"

Ying Yue dismissed her gaze at a large enough tombstone that could be identified as the tomb of a person. The tomb looked new.

The curious Ying Yue approached the tomb. He sat down and read the name that was written.

'May Yinghua?'

Ying Yue glared at the tomb and Xi Wei alternately.

"You must know who he is. Poor middle-aged woman."

Ying Yue looked extremely sad and disappointed. He paid his respects in front of the tomb.

"Who can forget the murderer of his own Lady Lady? He even dared to run away from the Palace Warriors on the day of his execution."

Xi Wei let out a long breath.

"You want to execute an innocent person at all? Alright. I misjudged you. I don't know what you've heard out there until you believe he's the killer of the late Consort Li. If Consort Li was still alive she would be very ashamed of having a child with thoughts like yours."

Xi Wei knew that his words were very spicy and unacceptable to the crowd. However she had to say it in order to straighten Ying Yue's gaze towards the late Physician Mei Yinghua.

"I also misjudged you, Mr. Swordsman."

Ying Yue sounded very disappointed.

"You know nothing. Therefore, I want to straighten out your view on all things. You're still very young. If you're an adult, you'll understand why I'm saying you're stupid."

Xi Wei did not care about how much disappointment Ying Yue had towards him, even if Ying Yue decided to marry Huang Luansha even once.

Ying Yue hugged Xi Wei tightly. Sangkin tightly to make himself and the young man with brown skin are equally difficult to breathe. Yet Xi Wei did not resist at all, even when the Princess gripped tightly onto her shoulder.

"What do you know?"

Ying Yue's voice was hoarse. Xi Wei remained silent and let Ying Yue vent her frustration first.

Likes, affection, hatred, and everything can change in the period of not overnight.

"I asked, answer me!"

Xi Wei returned Ying Yue's embrace.

"You'll know if the time is right, Grand Princess."

That was all Xi Wei could say. He did not want to tell the truth to Ying Yue―at least not for that moment.

"Why? Why not just now? You intentionally?"

Xi Wei struck one of Ying Yue's acupoints until the Princess fainted.

"Because this is not the right time. If I find myself, I'll tell you. That was the right time. Also, the Land of Yinying was on the verge of collapse. All that can save this country is one person. Xiao Ziling, you must prepare yourself as soon as possible."

Xi Wei brought Ying Yue back to the inn.
