Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The Seamless Summer?
Gazing at the innocent reflection wearing a thin nightgown in the bronze mirror before him, Xiu Qixuan sat quietly letting the skillful Xiao Rou gently comb her hair mane.
"What do you think of the Crown Prince you just met, Miss?" Chao Momo's voice suddenly sounded from behind. The old babysitter was busy warming up the bed and installing incense fragrances to help one fall asleep. "Isn't the Crown Prince really as wise and competent as the honorable man who will succeed the imperial throne?" He continued to babble nonstop, flattering some to look partially good.
Speaking of this, Xiu Qixuan's eyes looked like a number of cold iron that emitted a sharp air, he naturally stood up from his seat. He walked towards the bed and rolled himself up with a blanket. His floating mind was buzzing uncomfortably when recalling something.
"I crave an unexpected miss. To remove the boredom in bringing this rivalry to life, Mother."
It was a sentence he had accidentally heard while eavesdropping on the Crown Prince's conversation with the Empress. At a dinner meeting, the Crown Prince just stopped by for a while and then went back to work. But with the brief impression that the man had given him, Xiu Qixuan was already so confident to be able to label him as a maniac.
Frustrated and tired of being mixed. Screaming. Xiu Qixuan spoke cynically to respond to Chao momo by replying to the question with a question: "Tch, why are you making such a useless judgment? Wasn't it obvious that there was nothing sane between them? " His voice had pressure gagged as he covered his face with a blanket. "Hmph, I'm tired. You can back off now!" Dismissed.
Xiao Rou who had very well understood the master in the condition of wanting a little privacy space immediately bowed to leave without saying much more.
On the other hand, Chao momo let out a rude sigh, staring fixedly at the bed Xiu Qixuan was in to speak sharply: "Try to be enthusiastic, not grim, Miss." There was a slight pause in his words as he resumed, "Then I will retreat, please rest comfortably!" Turning off the candle and closing the bed nets, after confirming his task, Chao momo and Xiao Rou immediately turned around.
Xiu Qixuan heard their increasingly faint footsteps as they slowly moved away.
And the sound of the door leaf coming back in a tight lid, the atmosphere became so quiet. The soothing aroma of incense makes people feel drowsiness. However, Xiu Qixuan who was lying on the bed immediately jumped up while making sure only he was left in this room.
"Taot! You can get out!"
Taking up his coat and wearing it on his shoulders, Xiu Qixuan quickly moved on.
Krasakk...
Tapps...
The wind made a gust of waves as the young bodyguard landed to the surface from his rapid cat-like leap behind the pillars of the roof frame.
"What makes you nervous, miss? Speed up my call to hurry to meet you." With his pleasant voice, Xiao Taoli commented lightly. "You're not the least bit worried that I'll be caught by the palace guards, are you?" Said complaining.
"That means I trust your ability to not get caught." Within this scope, Xiu Qixuan put on a serious look. He took out a thin scroll of documents that he had hidden behind his sleeve. And, then threw it at Xiao Taoli for capture.
Xiao Taoli's face remained calm. However, his eyebrows furrowed when opening the scroll containing a file of information on the names of people who were deported abroad.
"Third recruit, fifth row. Mu Xiaonuo's. Find all the details related to him."
Xiu Qixuan's fingers in a minimalist gesture, poured tea into a cup and gave it to Xiao Taoli. "You've already placed trusted people all over the disaster deployment point that occurred in the Mo Empire, right?"
Receive a cup of tea and sip it slowly. Xiao Taoli nodded. "I did it carefully. Our side will soon receive a report sooner if something bigger happens in the Mo Empire." He spoke with conviction and confidence.
With all this, Xiu Qixuan massaged her temples riled up. He was immersed in deep thoughts.
The calamity in the Mo Empire was too strange if it was only mentioned due to natural factors. And, in the report that Duan Bian Jian gave at his request last. All shows that what happened in the neighboring country, in accordance with the words of Lao Yong and Baijin Hu related to several monsters and small demon herds that will gradually rise.
Asking his people to stand guard in a place of disaster might mean nothing but in his speed of reaching for information. His brain was dead-end to figure out how to deal with the rise of the demon herd. Immediately finding that supreme natural-powered dagger was probably one move that only he could take now.
"No—, Miss!!" Xiao Taoli's touch was hard on the ears to disperse his musings.
Scrubbing his ears with the gesture of a slacker. Xiu Qixuan clucked. "Tck, noise! You can get caught by the palace guards like this!"
"Yes, that's because you didn't hear me!" Xiao Taoli protested with a frown on his face.
"You can talk. But, if nothing else matters, you can go." Xiu Qixuan spoke casually without guilt in her cruel sentence of expulsion.
Increasingly wrinkled, as if exhausted through torture. Xiao Taoli complained: "How can you put on an angelic face when the words coming out of your mouth are so piercing?" For a moment he let go of the formalities of superiors and subordinates.
Xiu Qixuan's lips twitched as she held back the wide smile that slowly appeared. "It's called the balance side. Because nothing is perfect in the world." Said Xiu Qixuan with his voice that sounded satisfied.
Snorted. Xiao Taoli slowly lowered her gaze, her face turning serious and heavy as she said: "The witches' human union is still nowhere to be found. The investigation of them continued to end in vain."
The witch humans Xiao Taoli was referring to were humans who wielded demonic aura power. Xiu Qixuan had them look for him since a few months ago when after they returned from the Northern Xia, but the results were always nil. He could not explain the details regarding the power of the aura to Xiao Taoli nor anyone else. So, in exchange for making it easier in his denunciation, Xiu Qixuan said they were witches.
Surprisingly, the users of that demonic aura turned out to be more organized and neat in camouflage form to remain hidden in the depths.
The currently ignorant Xiu Qixuan, the leader of those demonic aura users was close to him. The guild they were referring to was an organization that was under the leadership of the legendary Asura Star, Mozi.
For some reason, it feels like this summer will not go smoothly...
