Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Shen Yuan Zi: A Broken Thing That Has No Purpose in Life
The palace building that does not look like a palace. The damaged part of the roof with half the wall that peels off, this can not withstand the roar of wind or water droplets from outside. The air inside was so humid with pest droppings strewn about. This is a famous cold palace.
In a place like this, the Third Prince of Shen was in prison for twenty-three years of his life.
The sound of footsteps entering the room was not habitable. Several times a week the waiters will deliver leftover food that even dogs would not like to eat.
Just now Ban Xia had set foot into the room. He listened to the complaints.
"Dump it! And, quickly clean up this disgusting place!"
The fingers of Ban Xia who was holding a ceramic bowl with many cracks were slightly loosened. He also could not bear the smell of stale vegetables in the bowl.
The appearance of Ban Xia looked different. He wore dirty and grubby clothes as a slave who did any menial work in the palace.
Taking food to the third prince might include menial jobs that slaves could replace.
Obey orders. For a while later, Ban Xia was busy cleaning up the dirty and smelly room.
"Ban Xia...!" A bored voice called out.
"Yes, chief...?" Ban Xia turned his head and said.
Subconsciously Ban Xia lowered his head when he unintentionally looked into those indifferent eyes that seemed to see unimportant things. It was the eyes of someone who held the right to life and death in their own hands.
Mozi's fingers moved forming a command signal for him to approach.
"Cabin! I want to talk about your job!"
Both of Ban Xia's legs immediately twisted and stepped. He knelt down to take orders.
"I will sleep within the allotted time to suppress as well as gather the power of the demonic aura." Tucked in sharpness in his arrogant tone. "In the meantime, you keep an eye out for Yuan Zi's fools, lest he make trouble and mess up." He continued, "And, in order to achieve the goal, we will approach and go with the current created by that Xiu girl going forward." He grinned enthusiastically like a maniac.
He's slippery and cunning. He acted as if everything he controlled was playing in the palm of the hand.
Mozi lowered his gaze, his face becoming flat as he spoke coldly; "The girl is too smart for this damned place. He will take us to where the dagger that Shen Zhenning has hidden is located. And, until that time comes, I will fall asleep so that he does not realize the power of my demonic aura."
Ban Xia said in a slightly loosened tone; "You mean.., you asked me to improvise with the third prince, Shen Yuan Zi, to draw the Miss close to our side."
The ember-like eyes gave off an endless barren feeling as he said: "Yes, I am sure. That fool would do it with pleasure." He continued, "Sometimes we get tired of playing the same role. So, let the clown play his role perfectly." his tone sounded like he was filled with disgust and contempt for Shen Yuan Zi.
Ban Xia could only hold his breath and slightly quiver, he looked extremely depressed from having to deal alternately with two different masters in the same body.
"What if the Prince can't contribute to the plan? because the prince himself has such a soft nature." Ban Xia said seriously with his eyes that were without faltering.
Mozi squinted his eyes, he laughed coldly. His fingers tapped on the handle of the chair, and spoke a little low; "You can say this...."
Ban Xia's body trembled when he heard the continuation of the sentence that was suppressing ruthlessly. The third prince is very poor!
"It's time, remember all my words, Ban Xia! See you later with a dagger!" Mozi said brutally then immediately walked towards the weathered bed, he slowly lay down with his eyes closed. And,
Patsse...
A reddish glow of fire that was so dark instantly appeared filled the room, this was so hot as it fell from the deepest hell, between the sharp nosediving eyebrows—a symbol of embers looks like a crystal flake coming out of the skin.
His silver hair shone in a terrifying darkness. The moonlight within the slash illuminated his body unrealistically.
It was completely a different eye view from the previous embers. Black eyes that drooped flat without any hope. He just silently pondered without having any spirit. He was truly a different person from the extremely brutal Mozi before.
Ban Xia was a little stunned. Before he put on a polite smile and respectfully said; "Welcome, Prince!"
Listening to his sentence, Shen Yuan Zi suddenly spoke emotionlessly.
"Where's hell?"
Silent. Ban Xia once again could only hold his breath. He was more perplexed at the question full of despair from Shen Yuan Zi.
"We can't open the gate yet. There's something you have to do for it." Ban Xia replied calmly. "Ah, you must be cold. A minute!" Ban Xia immediately moved then opened the dusty supply box. He took a thin blanket for Shen Yuan Zi.
Shen Yuan Zi's lips moved faintly, without staring at him saying: "No need!"
His face seemed to hold so much sadness. Seemed helplessness that resigned from him to stay alive. Such a sight made the heart of anyone who saw it feel pain.
Shen Yuan Zi was indeed so human. But, this man is like a broken object that has no purpose in life. Just look, the first question he raised was the location of hell, as if he wanted to plunge himself alive in the flames. Maybe he just wants to die but he can't.

Three Days Later...
"Hey, wait a minute!" Xiu Qixuan ran with fatigue lifting her skirt. "Su Yiyang's! you're crazy, aren't you?! we're skipping class, but, instead, wandering around like this. Come on, just go shopping!" abugn.
By borrowing clothes and sacrificing their respective escort servants who replaced them to take the class. Su Yiyang who was talented in acting in an unnatural way even went around the palace and chatted with some of the palace maids without fear or awkwardness.
"Qixuan, you're the one who'll get us caught if it keeps getting noisy like this!" Su Yiyang said indifferently in response.
They walked down the crystal clear lake that stretched wide behind the corner of the inner palace, this close and one stream with the hill occupied by the first prince, Shen Minwei. This place was so quiet with only a few guards.
"You are so rash! What if I get caught? Our reputation will be ruined." Xiu Qixuan said furiously.
Obtained. Su Yiyang chuckled by linking brows. "That's weird. Qixuan, you can't think of a reputation if you want to fail in the competition" he said.
Stupefied. Xiu Qixuan confirmed his words. "Yes, you're right. But the competition has not yet begun. Because of who's invitation, I'm making a tantrum now?!" grunts.
Su Yiyang laughed. "Then in return, I replace it with information." He then leaned over to whisper. "The position of the crown princess will soon be empty. The empress will choose one of the prince's consort candidates. Right now they are waiting for the mistake made by Rui Minglan to be used as an excuse to revoke his title."
Xiu Qixuan had already guessed that. But, he was amazed by Su Yiyang's talent which could make people unconsciously talk a lot to him.
Suddenly the roar of the wind carried the sound of footsteps. Xiu Qixuan hurriedly pulled Su Yiyang's hand to walk around.
Sreks...
But he stopped. From a distance, the daytime sun was so sparkling that it hit a figure of beauty that came unexpectedly.
"Well...!" Su Yiyang's amazed voice could be heard beside the ears.
Xiu Qixuan nodded.
