Mysterious Shender
⁇ : Still Vague

Xi Wei woke up because Maorong woke him up.

"Xi Wei…?"

Xi Wei opened his eyes slowly. Her eye bead changed again into a beautiful sky blue color.

Maorong was shocked to see the change in eye color experienced by Xi Wei, even though he had seen it once yesterday. But still, he was shocked. He's not used to it yet.

Xi Wei, who was aware of Maorong's shock, asked and mocked, "What do you see, Uncle? You seem to have seen a ghost."

"You are a ghost!" maorong exclaimed in annoyance. He had not expected that Xi Wei would inherit his father's annoying nature. He preferred the nature of the young man's mother who was calmer and impressed not in a hurry.

Xi Wei laughed lightly, then said, "I'm not a ghost, Uncle. I am a human. Did Uncle see this change again?"

Xi Wei pointed to his eyes that were still changing color. It turned out that he was also aware of the strange changes that had happened to his eye bead.

"Not to worry. Maybe this will happen often due to the influence of my magic," Xi Wei continued. "Has Father always been like this?"

Maorong shook her head. He replied, "Your Majesty has never experienced it randomly. He can control the color change in his eyes. The two of you are the son of Light—according to the acknowledgement of the Taiyang Holy Temple. The eye color symbolizes an additional magic element that both of you can use."

"What else do you know about this, Uncle?" ask Xi Wei.

Maorong said, "Yahanda you are a great person. Not only is he kind, he also helps his people. He is a man who cannot sit still on the throne while his people are chaotic. He had long since entered the Cultivator God Crane. And, the color of his eyes could turn red: that is, he could control any kind of fire. Since he could control all kinds of flames, he could concoct all pills from the lowest tier to the highest tier."

Xi Wei goosebumps hearing Maorong's story. But one question came to his mind: If Xi Chen is such a great person, why can't he save his position as an Emperor? Why can't he save his whole family?

"And we have neglected to save him" continued Maorong, after a moment of silence. He had a sad expression on his face. "We have neglected to look after the Royal Family! We deserve to die!"

Maorong crazy. He had almost hit his own head against the wall if Xi Wei did not immediately grab hold of his collar and pull him back.

"It's so stupid!" snarled Xi Wei. "What can you fix from killing yourself?! You think a miracle will come from the sky and then everything will be ready again?! Realize Uncle Fool, realize! Nothing's gonna change if you don't want to change it."

Xi Wei's breathing was wheezing with anger he had vented towards Maorong. He did not like the way Maorong wanted to solve his life's problems by killing himself. He said it was completely unrealistic.

Xi Wei pulled the collar of Maorong's shirt and threatened him, "If you dare say you deserve to die again, then I will act and kill you. I swear, Uncle."

Maorong could see there was no doubt in Xi Wei's eyes when saying so. He understood, the things he did would only burden the son of the former Emperor he had served. He naturally did not want to be considered a burden by Xi Wei.

"All right, I understand. I'll try my best so you can live a quiet life. I will never do anything stupid again" Maorong said.

The matter delivered by Maorong made Xi Wei much calmer. The young man certainly did not want any unpleasant things to see. He is still a man who has a disgust and guilt about everything.

Speaking of feelings of guilt, Xi Wei became upset about the words he had said to Ying Yue. He shouldn't have said that in a hurry. But it's not his fault either. He already has this thing all right.

Xi Wei was too absorbed in his own world that he was not aware of being summoned by Maorong.

"Ah…? I'm sorry, did you call me?" ask Xi Wei. He's like a dazed man. He did not know what he should do after realizing from his daydream of trouble he suddenly just stayed away from Ying Yue and Xincai.

Maorong herself became worried about Xi Wei's situation. He could see that Xi Wei was thinking about something incriminating to himself. And, he knew that the problem could only be solved by the young man alone.

"It's time to eat, Xi Wei," Maorong said.

In fact, Maorong was not used to mentioning Xi Wei by name. After all, Father Xi Wei was the former Emperor he had served. It would be difficult for him not to enter the frills when calling Xi Wei's name.

"Right, we haven't had breakfast this morning, yet" Xi Wei said. "Let's eat!"

...***...

Ying Yue closed her eyes and fell asleep shortly afterwards.

Not knowing how Ying Yue could get inside Xi Chen's Dream Mirror. He turned his head here and there and found the figure of Xi Chen sitting while playing with dozens of butterflies that came from the light.

Big brother Xi Wei and his father had their own uniqueness. Their eyes are so beautiful. Not only that, they are also great, Ying Yue thought.

"You've come apparently," Xi Chen said.

"Have you called me to this place?" asked Ying Yue.

Xi Chen stared towards Ying Yue, his eyes slowly turning red. The Great Princess was stunned to see the middle-aged man's bead of eyes change color.

Xi Chen closed his eyes, he reopened them and things turned normal again. He said, "I'm sorry, Great Princess. Sometimes I can't control my anger so it makes people afraid."

Ying Yue instead felt that Xi Chen was deliberately showing off his color-changing bead.

"Master hasn't answered my question yet," said Ying Yue boldly. She did not want to look weak in front of her future in-laws.

"There's no need to rush, miss."

Jialing came out from behind the plum tree with slow steps. He gave off the impression of a person who was not in a hurry. One more thing: she is very graceful and beautiful.

"Greetings to the Madam," said Ying Yue.

"There's no need to be too formal, Grand Princess. Me and former Emperor Yongheng have something to say. So, I beg of you to listen carefully. After that, you can decide on the answer" Jialing said.
