Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Princess Li Wei 3: Breaking the Night Clock

Li Jun stared fixedly at Li Wei as his sister unhesitatingly accepted the challenge. It made her pull her lips to smile. However, he did not really believe in Li Wei's potential in the Night Hunt.

"The Empress will be worried about you, Li Wei. Don't do anything that will hurt you, "the advice of Li Jun who is part of it is bullying.

But Li Wei replied with a smile. "At least I'm more worried about embarrassing big brother."

Zhang Yuwen clearly felt a little clumsy with the situation, whereas Wei Wuxie looked calmer. Plus they shouldn't listen to these two father brothers fighting insinuations. Power competition is obviously a common thing to happen.

Wei Wuxie who understood immediately switched the conversation. "Prince Li Jun, what made you come to the City Center? If we can help if the Prince is on duty here."

Actually Li Jun had already finished his training. Li Wei's first brother was already dabbling within the High Court. As Wei Wuxie had said, it was clear that Li Jun was on his duty right now.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that the heavy rain yesterday left some parts of the City Center submerged. I only closed the water flow that was heading towards the City Center so as not to cause flooding," explained Li Jun who this time turned his eyes to Wei Wuxie.

Behind Li Jun were several soldiers. Obviously this guy has been out of work. However, hearing his explanation Li Wei frowned. "Close flow? Does it mean to cover the water flow with a bulkhead so that the flood does not come to the City Center?" li Wei asked to be sure.

"That's right. It was like holding back water to get inside the city," Li Jun briefly replied.

^^^Detention of flooding to come. That's a good thing for the City Center. But can anyone guarantee if the symptoms of this nature can be withheld?^^^

"Don't that guarantee a bigger disaster?" asked Li Wei who slightly disapproved of her brother's opinion.

Li Jun looked at Li Wei with a sinister expression. "It was a decision in the High Court, Li Wei. What made you disagree?"

"Holding back the flow of water is not like locking up a cow. Even cows sometimes can not be locked in a low fence. The water was easily tidal and receding, and it made the water currents also change. If the water flow is even more swift, the coming to the City Center is not just flooding anymore, but a storm-like water blow," said Li Wei who tried to explain his point.

If the overflow of heavy water is held, and then the retaining is not so strong, then it could be that when the retaining is destroyed, the flow of water will be even more swift. That was what Li Wei meant. Although the possibility is quite small, but failure is something that must be watched out for by the kingdom. So this method felt Li Wei rather risky.

"That possibility is very small, Li Wei. After all, the flood barrier was made very strong. The water won't be able to hit it" Li Jun strongly denied.

Zhang Yuwen scratched his neck from feeling unregarded here. Moreover, his thoughts were a bit lacking to what was discussed. He looked at Wei Wuxie to reprimand her. All of this was because of Wei Wuxie who asked about Li Jun's work. That's why this debate arises.

"I think we should be right back, Prince. We left the training room too long." In the end Zhang Yuwen could only break this debate.

"Li Wei, getting into Cloud Training doesn't mean you can just argue. You just studied there. The knowledge you have is still nothing" Li Jun said, warning Li Wei.

It made Zhang Yuwen tired himself. He hoped that he could escape from this situation. Even as he wanted to leave quietly, Wei Wuxie had already caught the collar behind him. Arresting Zhang Yuwen who wanted to stay away, and finally Zhang Yuwen could only smile for the sake of politeness.

"But all possibilities must be at stake in this, Brother. Like preventing an impending loss." It seemed like Li Wei really disliked the decision of the kingdom.

"Then, what do you think should be taken? Who knows, I can talk about it with Your Majesty," Li Jun challenged.

This man simply wanted to laugh at Li Wei's decision. In the eyes of Li Jun, however, Li Wei was only a handful of new leaves. He did not feel like he wanted to listen to Li Wei's opinion, although like what he said earlier, the possibility that Li Wei mentioned could have happened.

But that's just a small possibility. Moreover, Li Jun believed in the flood retaining buildings they had made at the sea estuary near the City Center. With regard to this action can also be a precaution for the future. Maybe the flood won't come in the next four to five years.

What makes his job wrong? This was just as Li Wei was dubious about their performance in making flood barriers.

"Letting that flood hit the City Center," Li Wei replied quickly without thinking anymore.

It made Li Jun laugh softly from feeling victorious. I don't know why he thinks that. Wei Wuxie and Zhang Yuwen were also somewhat clueless about Li Wei's decision. However there is no 'action', and obviously it cannot be called prevention.

"You must be joking," said Li Jun who felt like he wanted to continue laughing at Li Wei.

Isn't this sister spending more time playing, so it is considered to overcome royal affairs as well as playing at home?

However Li Wei looked confident in his own answer. "Sister, can humans resist the will of Gods? If there is a flood, let it come. After all, if the most important action is government assistance to its people in the face of this flood. Think about this, if the water pressure suddenly increases or the waves crash harder due to water or underwater shocks, the amount of water will be firmer into the City Center. Even people who can swim will be washed away in the rushing water" Li Wei said, trying to make Li Jun understand.

Zhang Yuwen began to understand what Li Wei meant. So he asked, "Is it because of the strong winds that often occur lately?" zhang Yuwen asked who remembered that the rain had continued to hit the Li Kingdom in the past few days.

Li Wei nodded her head quickly, but Li Jun looked increasingly irritated. "Li Wei, what you're afraid of is very unlikely. Don't complicate the kingdom with such ridiculous thoughts. After all, even if a strong wind comes, but it's never more intense than what you're afraid of."

Li Wei sighed as he felt that this debate felt useless. Especially when there is no determinant here. Plus he's nobody now. She is even a princess, who despite her talent, her opinion is only considered part of emotional. Perhaps this was what Wei Wuxie meant about 'job title'.

Well, I think any cow can be famous if it's called constantly.

So if Li Wei wanted her opinion to be heard by others, then she should have a name. Not that Li Wei wanted to patronize, but there were times when he thought that there were some decisions that required the opinion of others. Although sometimes painful, but advice from others sometimes better if the purpose to improve.

Li Wei paid tribute to her brother with both hands representing her. "Sorry if Li Wei interferes with big brother's busyness."

Well, just pray if the possibility that Li Wei mentioned would never happen.

***

Li Wei was like spending too many days reading all the royal policies and regulations. He began to think that all these things were more fun if learned in practice. His head even felt like he could no longer think so tired.

During Cloud Training, Li Wei obviously could not go home before she finished training. He had to stay in the Training Palace, but in a different room to the other disciples. He lived in a private room specially prepared for him.

Believe me, there is nothing better than being grateful for what he has right now.

"G ... The coldness," said Li Wei who was tightening the cloth he used to give warmth to his body.

This time Li Wei decided to take a walk around the Training Palace. That was clearly in violation of these Cloud Training rules. However, Li Wei could not fall asleep for what reason. Perhaps he was too enthusiastic about the Night Hunt that was about to begin tomorrow.

Back again to the rules of the Training Palace.

The rules here are rather strict regarding curfews. Usually they cannot get out of the resting place during the break. That is because their training requires good stamina, and sleeping late at night will make the body will be disturbed. There are many more types of rules in Cloud Training, such as not sneaking around at curfew, getting up early in the morning, and practicing. They must not riot at night, and must not quarrel with fellow disciples. Huh ... Li Wei was suddenly lazy to mention it again because it was already as much as Zhang Yuwen owed Wei Wuxie. After all, because of the many rules, Li Wei was confident that he would have five grandchildren and only then could he succeed in obeying all the rules.

But here Li Wei ... Breaking the curfew at the Training Palace.

Because, he is now walking through a very quiet Training room. In fact, he was very less able to count his footsteps when walking. He counted about a hundred thousand steps, and he reached where Zhang Yuwen had once told him.

Stone Wall Application.

He hasn't written anything there. Zhang Yuwen said, if you want your request granted, then I need to write it down there. Then, miraculously your wish will come true on the last day of Training. That was the thing that the disciples in Cloud Training believed.

Li Wei would not even be surprised because of the large amount of writing there. He followed the inscription that was scratched with the stone with his index finger. The request of the students here is very diverse. There were some who were serious about asking the Gods, and some of them were just playing around. Like writing down a rather silly desire like, wanting to take a walk with a cow, or rolling around like a worm in the mud. Or even want to see a fish blink. I don't know there's a lot of weird things to see on that wall.

Even ...

"Walphaahh ... A ghost!" Li Wei was suddenly frightened when he saw the figure crouching in front of the Stone Wall of Application.

That made Li Wei fall over, but before he fell to the ground someone caught him. Then, push it to the ground. It was only a split second until a hand smothered his mouth.

Am I being kidnapped? There are ghosts that can touch humans. Another way I can touch from a different world.

Realizing that, Li Wei fought back as hard as he could. His hand gripped the sturdy arm that was smothering his mouth. Twisted the arm to escape his mouth. It happened, and made the man who was pressing down on him slightly stretch out his hand. After which, Li Wei raised her waist slightly so that she could jump up and immediately stand up while she was still lying down.

SRETT!

Li Wei twisted and immediately stood up. If indeed this man was a thief, then Li Wei would have to catch him. Until one day the man turned his five fingers back to Li Wei's throat. He began to recognize who this figure was. Because, the long and fast fingers were once almost hit in his direction.

"You ... Hua .." said Li Wei while retreating to avoid the hand blow.

He would definitely faint if this Hua hit him. What's Hua's man doing these nights at the Stone Wall of Application? Does he want to do something, or is this guy a spy? I don't know.

It could also be that this man was just taking a walk. Just like Li Wei. But because Hua's self-defense was too high, she always became wary. Li Wei wanted to talk immediately, especially when he saw the torch visible from a distance.

Night vigil!

This could be dire if Li Wei was caught wandering outside at night. Not to mention if he was with Hua. It was definitely not good news for the public to consume.

Later it was thought that I was having a meeting with Hua on the topic of "How to beat up everyone who annoys others?"

"Yes ... This ..."

SRAPS!

Eh?

The man's hand smothered Li Wei's mouth a little hard. Even this man had no intention of treating Li Wei gently. He smothered Li Wei and brought Li Wei to stick to the stone wall. However due to Li Wei's overly violent movements in rebelling, Hua had to be slightly slammed when clinging to the stone wall.

"Don't talk" Hua whispered as she smothered Li Wei's mouth.

Don't you talk!? You try it if you want to take me into hiding it's fine. Not smothering like this!

Because Hua rarely spoke so Li Wei did not understand his meaning. Hua had only intended to bring Li Wei into hiding from the night watch. Because, if Li Wei was captured, then he would be punished by the Training Teacher.

SRETT!

The night guards were already approaching towards them. Li Wei could hear the sound of his own heart, especially when their position was attached to this. Even so, Li Wei realized that this Hua did not panic in the slightest.

The torchlight approached, and Hua pressured Li Wei to get closer to her.

WHAT THE HELL!

Throughout Li Wei's life, he had never been defeated by anyone else. Especially until it is smothered like this. He had never been so close to a man.

"Hey, your hairpin is stuck in my clothes" whispered Hua who realized something.

Li Wei shouldn't have used such a complicated hairpin! Even her makeup could get stuck in Hua's all-black outfit. Even the red gem looked quite striking when it was clinging onto Hua's clothes.

What situation is this!
