Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Princess Li Wei 4: Promise and Absence
What kind of classic scene is this?
Why is it like one of the stories at the Palace show?
Li Wei clearly felt itchy as her hair was pulled towards Hua. Not to mention Hua's height that was different from her. That made him have to tiptoe to save strands of his hair. Li Wei obviously refused to be bald.
Not to mention with the night guards still roaming around them. Li Wei could not act recklessly let alone kick this man. They might be found out.
BUGH!
"Shut up" Hua ordered, which still smothered Li Wei's mouth.
Trust Li Wei now breathing trouble. Already he was forced to stick with Hua, and Hua firmly covered his breath. If Li Wei wasn't patient enough, he would bite this guy.
A TAP!
A TAP!
Li Wei's heartbeat now collided with the sound of the guards' footsteps. He could even hear a knock from the footsteps due to this precarious situation. Not to mention Li Wei was unfocused due to Hua's warm breath on her neck.
How's this?
Li Wei sharpened his ears to find out the situation. Then, he heard the sound of footsteps moving away. It made Li Wei sigh in relief. After being unheard, Li Wei started to release himself.
Unfortunately ...
"Ow ... My hair ... My head. You're gonna take my hair off with a single pull?" li Wei's nagging response from Hua.
"I cut it."
SRING!
Just that short sentence, and without Li Wei's approval the man had already drawn his sword. Li Wei became panicked if one of these men would cut off his head for them to come off. That made Li Wei rebel even harder.
THE CRUTCHES!
Eh?
Hua encouraged Li Wei to come out first from the crack beside the Stone Wall of Application. Looks like what this guy meant was to cut his hairpin. So Li Wei let out a sigh of relief while holding her hair that had gone out of her way.
If there was anything to regret, then Li Wei regretted for pinning her hair. Li Wei should have tied him up with a ribbon as usual. Today felt very unlucky for Li Wei.
Just as Li Wei wanted to file a protest, the Hua man had already walked away without saying anything. Li Wei obviously did not accept with all the losses that hit him.
The girl ran and blocked Hua's path. "Hey, you! Nothing you want to tell me?" Li Wei no longer even mentioned this man with a respectful call.
Come onl. Understand Li Wei who was ignored since yesterday!
GREPS!
Hua held onto the tip of Li Wei's head and turned Li Wei's gaze to the right. Then, the man started walking again by avoiding Li Wei who was standing in front of him. He just didn't expect that this girl was so noisy and there were no traps.
Li Wei rubbed the man's hand on his head. I don't know why Li Wei did it. It's just that he feels if this guy has enough memory. Is that guy feeling uncomfortable right now?
"You promised to teach me if I win tomorrow. I hope you're keeping it!" shouted Li Wei who seemed to have forgotten if the guards might still be around him.
It was only a split second until Li Wei remembered, and he covered his own mouth with a palm. When she did that, Hua finally turned her body to stare coldly at Hua. Either this guy remembers her or he doesn't.
Because he did not want the man to see him afraid of being discovered, the girl took off her silence. He then folded his arms around his chest while giving a cynical feigned look. Although Li Wei actually did not understand how to act cynically.
Men seem to have facial paralysis. He did not even react to anything, even when being stared at cynically by Li Wei. Emotions are a little bit like that, Li Wei meant. He felt he was doing something in vain.
"You won't win" said the man flatly.
Li Wei was getting itchy wanting to kick this man. It's just that out of ability, he would definitely be easily strangled by this man. Therefore, Li Wei did not want to use violence.
After all, I'm a good kid who never hits anyone else.
"I'm gonna win. Take it easy don't worry" said Li Wei who sometimes had a bit of confidence.
"I'm not worried."
The pain. It's chilly.
Li Wei ignored the neglected souls within him. He was clearly more focused on getting this man to talk. He looked back to be sure, and smiled to mock this man.
"Why did you go to the Stone Wall of Application? Did you write a wish there?" li Wei asked who remembered if he had met while Hua was crouching in front of the stone wall.
Hua said nothing. He even walked over without looking at Li Wei again. The somewhat rowdy Li Wei obviously did not accept Hua's unfriendliness. Finally, he followed Hua from behind while talking again.
"Let me explain to you ... He said, if you write a plea ..."
SRETT!
Hua viciously twisted Li Wei's body to turn around. That made Li Wei's speech stop. However, when Li Wei wanted to nag again, the man instantly disappeared in the dark.
What kind of speed is that?! This man must be talented in escaping debt. I must have Zhang Yuwen learn from him.
"Who's there?" someone shouted from a distance.
He's busted!
Li Wei quickly put on the head covering of his robe to escape. Or, he'll get punished. Not to mention Zhang Yuwen's violent voice mocking him later. Inevitably Li Wei had to return to his room in this Cloud Training.
HAP!
Li Wei jumped up to climb onto the roof, and ran quickly. He heard the footsteps chasing him. Li Wei finally rolled down the descending roof. After which, he jumped up with several turns, and stood upright on the ground.
He opened the window of his room, and entered quickly. Luckily he slept alone in this Cloud Training. So that he does not need to smother the mouth of his roommate or even bribe him.
Li Wei unfolded his large robe, and immediately lay down under the blanket. His hand grabbed the small stone he had taken from the previous Stone Wall of Application. Then, use it to turn off the candles in the room.
SRETT!
His bedroom is now dark.
Be safe!
***
GECK! GECK! GECK!
"Mother, I'm still sleepy" Li Wei said as she tidied the blanket tighter.
He slept late last night, so he couldn't wake up easily. However, the sound of that knock this time came with an annoying voice.
"Daughter, you'll be left behind if you don't come out now." The first voice was still somewhat calming. Wei Wuxie's voice wouldn't be so presumptuous and rude.
But ...
"If the Princess is still alive, come out! You should have died saying so, "reproved Zhang Yuwen, who was always at will.
Li Wei started to get irritated and got up from his bed. "Come in! Before I pull your head to be carried with the cow."
THE CLUCK!
Hearing Li Wei's licensing it was clear these two people entered and directly stormed into Li Wei's room. Zhang Yuwen was even more disinclined. He immediately stood up and folded his hands together to nag.
"Look, are you a real or artificial beauty? Where there is a Princess who is as messy as you are. Especially! His Majesty has only one Princess. It must be a disaster!" zhang Yuwen said excessively.
This guy's mouth must have been chewing on a knife too often. How honest!
"Consider your speech, Zhang Yuwen. The Princess better get ready soon as the Night Hunt is about to begin," Wei Wuxie replied as she cleared the Princess's room that seemed to have been hit by a storm.
Even Li Wei's huge robe was still lying spoiled on the floor.
"You! Prepare the Princess's clothes," Wei Wuxie's orders were to lay down a clean cloth for Li Wei to use later.
It was now sweeping under Li Wei's bed, and Zhang Yuwen could only stare at Wei Wuxie in bewilderment.
Since when did they turn into servants of this Messy Princess?
"What?" wei Wuxie asked with a flat face.
"Are you the Princess's nanny?" zhang Yuwen asked who was still staring uncomprehendingly at the cloth in his hand.
It seemed like Li Wei forgot to let go last night. Moreover, strangely this hairpin does not feel anything. And, Li Wei began to understand the reason.
It was because her hairpin had lost her makeup. This hairpin has silver makeup, and a red gem attached there. Li Wei scratched his head in confusion, and finally recalled if the Hua man had cut his hairpin last night. Maybe her hair has fallen out or broken.
It's just a hairpin.
Li Wei finally snatched the cloth that was in Zhang Yuwen's hands.
"Wait me! I prepared faster than you took a breath" Li Wei said as she grabbed the clothes she had prepared to wear today.
Zhang Yuwen sighed as he pitied Li Wei's wasted beauty. "This rowdy kid must have a hard time getting a companion."
"You will die if Your Majesty hears you," replied Wei Wuxie who was leaning quietly against the wall.
That made Zhang Yuwen turn his gaze toward Wei Wuxie. In just an instant Wei Wuxie had already finished cleaning the post-storm room belonging to this only Princess of King Li. Zhang Yuwen directly kneeled towards Wei Wuxie.
"I'm not getting married, Wuxie. Make me your life companion, then my life will be assured" Zhang Yuwen said with a laugh he was ready to let out.
BRUK!
But the laughter did not allow him to let out as Wei Wuxie quickly threw Li Wei's large robe into Zhang Yuwen's face.
"Hanging it properly," ordered Wei Wuxie who could not stand Zhang Yuwen's silliness.
I don't know why these three people can be friends.

A DUG!
A DUG!
Early in the morning they had already lined up in the Central City square. Li Wei, Zhang Yuwen, and Wei Wuxie were already standing in succession. Usually the Night Hunt should begin with a reading of the rules that often differ with each period.
Li Wei saw His Majesty sitting on his throne seat. Li Wei hadn't seen her father in a long time. On the other bench were some people Li Wei could know. To the right of his father was Counselor Wang, and Li Wei's mother was to the left.
Li Wei waved her hand to greet the mother, but her mother could only pat her on the forehead when she saw her daughter in the line. As usual, her mother was worried about Li Wei, but could do nothing. Moreover, with Li Wei's stubborn nature, her daughter would definitely still participate in the Night Hunt.
Then, there was Master Ling Xiao who had many titles in this Kingdom. Aside from being a Great Imperial Clairvoyant, Ling Xiao was also a teacher at Cloud Training. Li Wei had seen Ling Xiao several times in the palace because at any time Ling Xiao would be asked to foretell. About the future of the Li Kingdom, predictions about the next Heir to the Throne, and so on. It was a bit strange when Ling Xiao until now had not conveyed who the next heir to the throne was. Though usually the prophecy will appear faster just so that the Heir to the Throne can be trained faster.
Also, there was Li Wei's first brother, Li Jun.
From a distance alone Li Jun was already staring at Li Wei full of challenges. Inevitably Li Wei pretended to pat the mosquitoes for lack of work. Even he deliberately patted Zhang Yuwen on the back of the head in order to have some work done. It made Zhang Yuwen only resigned because Li Wei was relapsing indistinctly.
After all, amidst the royal people here where could Zhang Yuwen strangle Li Wei. Could die he was torn apart by the Royal people. Because, although Li Wei did not look like a princess, she was still the son of King Li.
A DUG!
A DUG!
A DUG!
It seems like the drum to open the Night Hunt has still not started. Then, they were called out one by one to ensure the members. Before long the name stopped on someone called the Hua clan.
Unfortunately, Li Wei did not know why they had only written Hua's name for the man. There is no last name for this guy. Even so, they already knew who this Hua meant.
And, Hua's not on the hunt tonight.
Didn't he keep his promise?
Wei Wuxie looked towards Li Wei to confirm her expression. "Daughter, haven't I warned you about this? Don't deal with that Hua. He's caused a lot of bad things."
However this was not like Li Wei cared about it. It's just ...
"Daughter, I know that Princess feels sorry for him. However, there are some people who do not like to be pitied. The best way is to stay away from him" Wei Wuxie explained again.
Zhang Yuwen also simply nodded his head as he agreed with what Wei Wuxie had said. Obviously Li Wei did not dare to tell about the incident last night, or these two friends would nag. Even so, Li Wei did not want to respond to more.
More than anything ... Li Wei could not imagine what it would be like to be part of a hated person. Has no one by his side. The people around her always thought Hua was a villain. Li Wei who lived as a Princess clearly did not understand. Because, Li Wei always had people protecting her. Maybe that was what Hua had experienced.
That guy probably doesn't trust anyone.
I just wish that I'd never experienced that loneliness.
(T_T Bentar, why would I cry because of this Li Wei prayer. Because, anyone who reads this story must know Li Wei's destiny.)
"Is Hua not here?" asked Master Ling Xiao who got off his seat.
It seemed that Ling Xiao cared enough about this Hua. However, as you already know, Hua is not here.
Was that guy late waking up as well as Li Wei since they both broke the curfew?
I don't know.
Li Jun got up from his seat. "Didn't I disagree with the man's presence at Cloud Training from the start?"
Eh?
Zhang Yuwen rewinded his body slightly to whisper to Li Wei. As usual, Zhang Yuwen was always at the forefront of the affairs of rumors and whispered neighbors. Even when his Uncle remarried, Zhang Yuwen was the first to know. Then, for some reason after that the news spread. Without even mentioning Li Wei already knew who the spreader was.
"This princess is what I'm calling about the party that disapproves of Hua's entry in Cloud Training. The princess must have known that Cloud Training was usually only reserved for the nobles in the Li Kingdom. Many Officials disagreed with Hua's inclusion in Cloud Training, and that led Teacher Ling Xiao to raise Hua as a child. Though Hua was originally just a young man that Master Ling Xiao had found," Zhang Yuwen explained excitedly.
We already know where Zhang Yuwen is going.
Wei Wuxie nodded her head. It seemed like this matter had already become a big rumor in Cloud Training. It was just that Li Wei was lacking in connection, let alone that he had also just entered Cloud Training. It was precisely Li Wei who was one month late from the other disciples.
"The worse thing was that Prince Li Jun as the supervisor of Cloud Training disliked it. It's like maintaining the purity of the blood for the quality of the family heir. So Prince Li Jun made a rule if Hua had to fight him to test Hua's worthiness. And as a result, Hua was able to defeat Prince Li Jun," Zhang Yuwen explained ending this story with vigor.
No one dared to discuss this story in front of Li Wei. Everyone thought that Li Wei was the younger brother of Li Jun, so they were afraid that Li Wei would be offended. But unlike these two friends, Zhang Yuwen clearly did not hesitate to speak to Li Wei.
Also, it was fitting that Li Jun was so wrathful and looking around for trouble, it was about his pride.
Li Jun realized that many were talking to each other within the ranks. The man shouted, "No one is talking!"
Li Wei was silent. Not because he was afraid, but he did not want to fight with his brother. As much as possible there should be no internal rift within the royal family. It could make the appearance of instigators and spies.
Ling Xiao displayed a face full of smiles as usual. Li Wei realized that Ling Xiao had a little mystery behind his friendly smile. Sometimes you must be confused by a friendly face that is a bit awkward.
"He is indeed a bit unfriendly, but he is also looking forward to the Hunt Tonight, Prince," Ling Xiao said with his usual smile.
Li Wei frowned when imagining this word 'waiting' on Hua's face. He could not see the facet of waiting on Hua's face that was flat like the surface of the lake. Not to mention his rude attitude. Almost Li Wei's lips thinned from being smothered by the Hua man.
Li Jun folded his hands behind his back. The man walked in his haughty manner to head before Ling Xiao. "You can't keep a beast in the house, Seer Ling."
Isn't that rude?!
Li Wei looked disapproving, but from the front King Li shook his head. As usual, King Li did not want Li Wei to be involved in political affairs. However, this action of Li Jun had clearly gone too far.
Therefore, Li Wei could only remain silent. As King Li once taught Li Wei, sometimes it takes more careful thought before speaking. It was a pity that King Li did not teach Li Jun the same. Wasn't that brother overemphasizing self-esteem?
The reason her brother was now nothing more than enforcer of his pride for being defeated by Hua before.
"It's a little strange," Li Jun continued later.
Perhaps the strange thing is the head of this dear brother. What's the problem if Hua doesn't participate in this training?
This actually has no impact on anyone. If Hua doesn't come, then there's no value to her. Done it. No business for anyone, and it won't hurt anyone. Except for the promise with Li Wei, and after that Hua's presence or absence had no effect on anyone. So that it will not affect
"Why did you suddenly raise a child, Seer Ling? It's not like you look so lonely that you want a child. Moreover from a family that died in a mysterious way," Li Jun said as he stared fixedly at Ling Xiao.
Died mysteriously?
