The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 45. A Similar Destiny

"So that's it?" xiao Mingyui asked as he tilted his head to the right slightly, the look on his face looked as flat and calm as ever.

Mo Wanwan, the woman came and asked him to talk about Xie Wanting who he thought was acting strangely, as if he wanted to seize Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Mingyui had never met Mo Wanwan before, she had no idea of the info or what the real Mo Wanwan looked like other than the basic info she knew from history. Both of their fathers were military veterans.

Mo Wanwan frowned. "Why do you look indifferent as if it's not an important issue? Don't you worry your future husband will-"

"What's the business?"

"I'm sorry?" mo Wanwan asked after Xiao Mingyui cut his words just like that.

"What. The order. With the. You?" Xiao Mingyui repeated his sentence by adding a few words and suppressing every word he said.

Mo Wanwan was stunned, he looked a little nervous. But after that he tried to reach calmness and replied, "The Western and Eastern empires have forged closeness and peace for decades. The two powerful people who played a big role in this peace were the late Xiao Wangye, your father. And my father, Mo Talong."

Xiao Mingyui chose to listen to the sentence that Mo Wanwan was going to say, he wanted to know the woman's true intentions and goals.

"If the Eastern Empire had Xiao Wangfu, then the Western Empire had Mo Wangfu. However, Mo Wangfu's current glory was not fine. I was forced to open up the internal problems of the Western Empire to you, but .. This I did for the sake of Mo Wangfu's survival. Our empire is in turmoil due to the succession of thrones. The new emperor attempted to take over Mo Wangfu's army, and now half of it had escaped Mo Wangfu's grasp."

Xiao Mingyui frowned. "Drawn troops? Isn't it that easy?"

Mo Wanwan nodded. "True, therefore the new Emperor gave an excuse that Mo Wangfu was considered already incapable or incompetent anymore to be in charge of taking care of three hundred thousand troops. It was likely that the new Emperor would attempt to take the other half out of Mo Wangfu's hands, even if it hadn't seen his movements yet, but it was only a matter of time."

Xiao Mingyui nodded, her lips smiling faintly. The problem Mo Wangfu was facing was very similar to Xiao Wangfu. Moreover, Mo Wanwan was the only woman of Mo Talong descent. He had one older brother and one younger brother, if their fates were juxtaposed, the two were almost similar. They both fought for the family.

"What happened to Mo Wangye? Why can your new Emperor give such a classic excuse?" xiao Mingyui asked, he seemed to be getting interested in talking longer with Mo Wanwan.

Mo Wanwan slightly lowered his head, but after that he looked back at Xiao Mingyui. There was sadness implied from his gaze. "My father, Mo Wangye, is currently in a long coma since two months ago. This had a huge impact on the survival of Mo Wangfu's forces. My older brother is also lying weakly on the bed, he has heart disease. While my younger brother is still a child, it is impossible to take over Mo Wangfu's power. And I, was the only one left."

"Then what does all this have to do with the reason you told me about Xie Wanting's daughter?" xiao Mingyui asked again, the woman raised her left eyebrow at a glance.

Mo Wanwan clenched his hands together silently, then replied, "Because I need your help, therefore I try to be on your side. Princess Mingyui, I promise to be your reliable partner. But I beg you, help me to defend Mo Wangfu. I want a marriage with your sister, Xiao Wangye."

Xiao Mingyui was stunned, she looked a little surprised.

Seeing Xiao Mingyui's shocked look on the face, Mo Wanwan quickly added, "I understand your shock, you would probably think of me as a lowly woman for shamelessly begging for a marriage like this. But the shame now means nothing to me. I think more about the future of my family. I will not waste this opportunity, because my presence here representing the Western Empire is not something that is easy to get."

Xiao Mingyui was stunned again, the woman's determination.

"Why don't you look for another powerful man? Why should Xiao Wangye?" xiao Mingyui asked, he did not directly agree to Mo Wanwan's touching sentence.

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly, then she glanced towards the sky. Ah ... It was already very dark, but Xiao Jiwang had not come yet. Alright ....

Xiao Mingyui stood up, his eyes staring at Mo Wanwan. "I will try to discuss it with Xiao Wangye, no need to worry. Thank you for your sincere feelings for me, but .. I am also aware of that. But, as long as that woman doesn't touch my family, then I'll still make sure her head is safe until she returns to Southeast Huan. I'm sorry." Xiao Mingyui walked out of the main pavilion, he decided to leave after Xiao Jiwang was nowhere to be seen.

"Your majesty, what can we just think of as friends?" bingbing asked, she deliberately questioned this in order to be careful.

Xiao Mingyui shook his head slowly. "Come, Bingbing. Let's just look and wait, there's no need to make a hasty decision."

Bingbing let out a huffed breath. "In the end the Crown Prince won't come to pick you up, you son of a bitch!"

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly. "Calm down, Bingbing. Maybe he was busy?"

"busy? Just because princess Xie Wanting is the representative of Southeast Huan, your majesty has forgotten about you. After all you are the future Crown Princess of Xiao Wangfu!" Bingbing snorted in annoyance.

Xiao Mingyui was still smiling, until he finally looked straight ahead. The look on his face was very flat and cold, as if a smile had never existed.

When he arrived at the horse carriage, Xiao Mingyui hurried about to board the carriage. But, not yet halfway through, a male voice called out his name.

"Mingyui!"

Xiao Mingyui automatically turned her head, then saw a breathless Xiao Jiwang running towards her. The man looked at her annoyed. "Gosh, I'm looking for you. But all I found was that princess Mo from the Western Empire!"

Xiao Mingyui frowned, then replied, "Your majesty, don't realize that the sky is already-"

"Yes, I know! Look, there was a troublesome incident that made me-"

"I understand. You have responsibilities with both the affairs of the Western Empire and Southeast Huan. No need to explain, I completely understand and it doesn't matter." Xiao Mingyui turned back Xiao Jiwang's sentence.

Xiao Jiwang frowned, he ... somehow felt worried. Xiao Mingyui's face and tone of speech looked and sounded as usual. But somehow he experienced a strange worry in his heart, as if he had made a huge mistake. To be honest, Xiao Jiwang also did not know the exact reason why he cared so much about this. He was even willing to run around looking for the figure of Xiao Mingyui when he saw that women were no longer in the main pavilion, while if he chose not to care as usual he could.

Silent. After Xiao Mingyui blurted out such a sentence, things became silent. Xiao Mingyui and Xiao Jiwang were in their respective positions, until soon Xiao Jiwang decided silence by asking a question that made the atmosphere awkward.

"Are you angry?"

"I'm sorry?" xiao Mingyui asked as he frowned.

"Are you angry?" xiao Jiwang asked, repeating his question. The heart beats when asking this question.
