Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Black Princess 2: The Devil Tree

"Welcome General Wei," greeted Ling Xiao with a faint smile.

Li Wei immediately grabbed his own headgear. Wei Wuxie had taken it from nowhere, but this head covering was indeed quite compatible with Li Wei's head. So Li Wei decided to keep it later. At least Wei Wuxie would definitely not charge Li Wei a price.

There was also a good thing about being friends with Wei Wuxie. A lot of money, and not as stingy as Zhang Yuwen.

It was not that Li Wei was not moneyless. He was just the type of person who came out without bringing any money. Usually he has a waiter who carries his money bag. The main problem was that Li Wei was forgetful, and not good at saving money. The money will go everywhere. Understand the King's son, no matter how much money fell, his life is still stable. Been tired of talking about the amount of wealth of this messy Princess.

If in the future he knew his own fate, he might cry on the roll if he remembered how ungrateful he was. (Remember Yi Hua in the future the dhuafa -_-)

Never mind.

Back to their current condition. Li Wei was standing next to Zhang Yuwen, who was also dressed as a soldier. Perhaps Zhang Yuwen had also bought in the market, because he knew that the clothes of corrupt officials like Zhang Yuwen would definitely not be cheap.

Never tell Zhang Yuwen if Li Wei calls him corrupt. Li Wei only referred to it as ridicule. What Li Wei meant by corruption was about time.

He even recalled that Zhang Yuwen chose to practice playing music in the love house instead of going to the High Court. Li Wei would definitely not be surprised if Zhang Yuwen was later visited by a child who claimed to be his son. Never mind. Why does he now speak of the disgrace of others?

Though Li Wei is a good person who rarely tells the ugliness of others.

Li Wei seemed to be daydreaming until he did not realize that Ling Xiao was watching him. When Li Wei turned to Ling Xiao, the man's gaze was still on him. Until Li Wei lowered his head like he was paying respect. It would not look strange to him, as he was now disguised as a person of a lower level than Ling Xiao.

More than anything, has Li Wei ever said that Ling Xiao's smile has always been mysterious?

It's as if you feel Ling Xiao knows what you're thinking.

Wei Wuxie who was aware of Li Wei's discomfort immediately stood up to hide the girl. Obstructing Ling Xiao's point of view.

"I'm sorry for this sudden visit, Seer Ling. I came to look around at the disciples," Wei Wuxie said with a faint smile.

Ling Xiao nodded his head. "Is the kingdom giving orders?" ask without any intention of accusing.

Inevitably Wei Wuxie turned to look at Li Wei who was standing on his left side. If they lied now, then it would be referred to as falsifying the King's edict. Zhang Yuwen had also been sweating coldly by himself.

However, this time it was Li Wei who replied, "Well, that's how it is."

May the Eye of the Eagle no longer be suspicious!

However as expected by Li Wei, Ling Xiao simply nodded his head without making things difficult for them anymore. Whatever came before him now was the Great General. Refusing Wei Wuxie's arrival was tantamount to humiliation.

"I was just wondering if today was so special that I had another big guest today" Ling Xiao continued, gesturing for his guests to enter the Cloud Training building.

After a few years had passed, not much had changed from Cloud Training. Li Wei noticed the surrounding buildings at a glance. In the building next door is a learning room. Where they could see the disciples who were copying the rules of the kingdom.

Li Wei remembered the time he was in that position, and felt tired himself. He even wrote while sleeping because he was tired. Well, at least make it part of the life experience. However, he also stayed here until his training was completed.

But, another big guest? Li Wei's focus was back on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao walked first to direct the path. The man walked over while continuing the conversation without being asked again. "Prince Li Jun and Consort Mo also came today. Now they're in the training room."

Wei Wuxie glanced at Li Wei who looked thoughtful. However he had already made sure that this was not the time for Li Jun to conduct the examination at Cloud Training. However, her brother came, and even brought her beloved Concubine, Mo Jiao.

For the record, Li Wei had only met this Consort Mo Jiao once, which was when Mo Jiao was brought to the palace to be made a concubine by the First Prince of Li Kingdom, Li Jun. After that, Li Wei never met him again. Especially if the future ascendant is not Li Jun, then this Consort Mo Jiao will only be jewelry in the Prince's residence.

Li Wei immediately nudged Wei Wuxie's arm slightly to signal. Wei Wuxie easily understood it. He immediately spoke to Ling Xiao who was walking in front of him.

"Vigilant Ling, we were about to go to the cloud library first before greeting Prince Li Jun. After all, the Prince is probably busy right now" Wei Wuxie said.

Ling Xiao frowned, "I can entertain you guys in my room."

"No need, Seer Ling. Go back to the initial activities, as we are just visiting," Zhang Yuwen replied impatiently.

Not that he wanted to go to the library, but this kind of disguise made him a little amused. Moreover, he grew even more afraid that this Ling Xiao would provoke them even more. Regardless of Ling Xiao knowing about their disguise or not, but this man definitely knew if their arrival was not like wanting to keep an eye on.

However Ling Xiao was Ling Xiao. If there were the most creatures following the groove in this world, then it was Ling Xiao. Perhaps Ling Xiao was just someone whose heart was so close to the Gods that he always believed everything was arranged. Only human beings are left to make the choice to continue to advance on this arranged path.

Therefore, Ling Xiao walked to the library until they passed by Consort Mo Jiao and her servant.

Already avoided, and keep meeting this woman -_-.

It had been said before, instead of Li Wei not liking Mo Jiao. It's just that the fewer people encountered in this disguise must be the better. Moreover, Li Wei was quite easy to recognize, because other kingdoms even knew Li Wei easily.

Well, the risk of becoming a famous person Li Wei said.

It made them pay their respects to Consort Mo Jiao, and the woman replied with her thin smile. This woman's face is quite beautiful, and looks like it can be loved by anyone.

However, Li Wei did not think that this woman could be familiar with him.

Especially with his graceful attitude. Even her sweet smile could make anyone think that this woman might be her heavenly angel. More than anything, this woman always makes the first impression that you are so lacking compared to her. This woman looks like ... Wanting to look perfect, and trying to lure others from his gaze.

And, Li Wei disliked Consort Mo Jiao for some reason. Perhaps Li Wei was simply lacking in hanging out with this woman.

Concubine Mo Jiao bowed her body gracefully, "I'm taking a walk in this pleasant place, Seer Ling."

"Do I need to drive Concubine Mo?" ling Xiao asked only because of the limits of politeness.

Yet Consort Mo's gaze was more directed at the three guests behind Ling Xiao. Of course because they're only visible now. Wei Wuxie gave her thin smile, and Mo Jiao replied to her with her sweet smile.

Li Wei only hoped that Wei Wuxie would not get drunk because of that smile.

However, Wei Wuxie's face was still flat as usual. Like Wei Wuxie was not so impressed with Mo Jiao's face. This reminded Li Wei of someone he had barely forgotten.

Is correct.

If he hadn't come to Cloud Training again he probably wouldn't have remembered the man.

Wei Wuxie gave a little face to Consort Mo Jiao, "The beauty of Consort Mo adds to the fun in this place," Wei Wuxie praised not for her sincerity, but rather about her respect.

Then, Mo Jiao laughed softly while covering half her face with her hands. Suddenly Li Wei became sultry on her own with this elegance. He felt very far from graceful boundaries.

CRINGS!

The sound of silver blowing in the wind was heard by Li Wei. This made Li Wei set his eyes on a man in his all-black clothes. The man turned his head on the bamboo building in this Cloud Training. Li Wei remembered that another door of this bamboo building led to the Stone Wall of Application.

Didn't that guy pass the Cloud Training course after all this time?

It was not about his striking clothes, but indeed the face of the man was extremely eye-catching. Not only Li Wei, but others would turn their heads more than once if they saw his face. Although only from the side, somehow Li Wei knew him.

"I'm sorry I couldn't talk to Consort Jiao for long. Suddenly our colleague was possessed by a cow, and wanted to reconcile himself by reading a book," Li Wei said as he embraced Wei Wuxie and Zhang Yuwen's arms at once.

After Ling Xiao nodded, though there was still a confused look on his face, but the man gestured in favor. Moreover, he could not even digest the speech from the 'soldier' with his head covering. Especially when Li Wei was strong enough to drag two people bigger than him.

And again, how could the two taller men just comply.

Concubine Mo Jiao also stared at the direction the three people were heading in, and frowned. This made Ling Xiao immediately reopen the conversation. "Did Consort Mo not want me to go around?" ling Xiao asked with the hospitality he did not lack to give.

"Actually I don't want to be alone, Seer Ling."

Believe ... If anyone says where the beginning of the problem is, then everything can start from anywhere. Even if it started from something that Li Wei had never known.

The beauty ... Not as long as it's pretty.

***

This Zhang Yuwen and Wei Wuxie who were being pulled around were actually tired. However, Li Wei was so eager to pull him off. Until finally they had been far away, only Li Wei let go.

However, Li Wei seemed to turn around here and there to pay attention around.

Did I just look wrong? If it's an apparition, is there really if it's in the afternoon like this?

Plus the figure also disappeared so quickly. Or maybe just looking wrong.

"What's up, Princess?" wei Wuxie asked who was aware of Li Wei's disappointed gaze.

Li Wei immediately shook his head, "No. Only earlier did I feel less comfortable with Consort Mo Jiao. He's staring at you two too much. Or, I just think too much."

Actually Li Wei simply switched the conversation. But what he said was what he saw. However Consort Mo looks like ... Woo?

Or, was it Li Wei who was too bad-minded? I don't know.

"We better go to the library," said Li Wei who immediately headed towards the library.

However Zhang Yuwen caught the collar of Li Wei's clothes. Not because he was disrespectful, but because he reflexively did so. Therefore, Zhang Yuwen immediately let go. Even Zhang Yuwen laughed to himself as he saw Li Wei rebel like an insect flipping through his body.

"Not in that direction, Princess. But there," pointed Zhang Yuwen in the opposite direction from Li Wei.

Li Wei fixed his collar with an irritated face. "I know! I usually if you want to turn the direction must go forward a few steps forward. Only after fitting, and I will head in the direction specified," replied Li Wei who did not want to lose.

Basic of beauty. Blamed unwilling, but if someone else wrong his mouth will be agile to talk.

Of course Zhang Yuwen was unwilling to say directly. He still wanted to live quietly without being pushed by Li Wei into the abyss. Just know if Li Wei had come out strangely, then it could destroy human peace.

***

When they entered the library, it was quiet there because it was now in training time. If anyone was there it might just be the ones who broke the rules. Li Wei guessed like that, because he himself often did it. Sttts ... No need to talk about it anymore.

"So, what are we supposed to do here?" zhang Yuwen asked as he opened the paper scroll randomly.

The part he opened was about the art of music. It was not that Zhang Yuwen had deliberately chosen, but this piece of art was on the front of the wooden shelf in the library.

Li Wei carried the letter sent to her through the chicken. He flipped through the paper to read from various angles. Unfortunately, he did not find any bright spot other than the writing there. Even though the writing is still not known to be implied or indeed ordered as such.

Now they've come to Cloud Training, and ...

Devil's Tree?

"Have you ever heard of the Devil Tree?" li Wei asked Zhang Yuwen who was reading.

At that time Li Wei thought Zhang Yuwen might be possessed and read in detail.

But the one who answered was of course a person like Wei Wuxie. A walking book that Li Wei could listen to her knowledge. "The Devil's Tree was once told in the Prince's Preface story."

The prince again???

Either the curse is inherent in human life, but now the Stone Labyrinth has been broken. Imagine that!!!

Originally the Stone Labyrinth was like a stone wall lined up to form a circle. However, now it is like a flat land with a pile of rocks. Everything was destroyed because Hua destroyed the sword. Perhaps the foundation of the Stone Labyrinth was the Prince's Prefect's sword.

Then, now there it has started to fog and dust. Like there's a pretty strong wind there. Maybe in the next few years sand and dust storms will probably occur there.

"In the folklore of the Li Kingdom, the Prince Cleric once asked the Devil Tree for help. It's just ... The Devil Tree he cannot control. This is what makes the prince a sinner. He killed many people and almost became a demon. In the midst of his consciousness he decided to commit suicide" explained Wei Wuxie who explained about the folklore about this Prince Cleric.

Li Wei sighed. He had heard about the story before, but he never thought it would be related in the present. Whether original or not about the story, but slowly the story seems to appear on the surface. Although it has been more than a hundred years, and the story began to be discussed again.

The problem is that every folklore is usually anonymous. It is unknown where or who told it. Who should they ask when they find out about the story?

"Then, where did the Prince Claimant know about this Demon Tree?" asked Li Wei who was getting curious.

Unfortunately, this story is not written. The story is just spoken of by word of mouth. That's why no one can guarantee the truth.

"The "Demon Tree was in one of the small villages inhabited by the Bao clan. It was a small village that was not tied to any kingdom. There was a strange power guarding this Bao clan. So that the original descendants of this Bao have great fighting abilities. It was a natural thing because of their blood being given power by the Demon Tree," explained Zhang Yuwen who turned out to also know about this story.

It made Li Wei feel strange, "You know that too?"

Zhang Yuwen answered nothing. The man looked uncomfortable when asked. Maybe this guy is really possessed by a cow. Li Wei was unwilling to argue with Zhang Yuwen.

"Unfortunately, the Bao clan no longer exists. Even in the time of this Prince, the Bao clan only had a few people left. Others say that the original blood of the Bao clan is usually not long-lived. Their blood is too strong for humans to have. Even he said that the blood could drive away wild beasts. If humans couldn't smell it, but for animals that had strong eyesight and smell, they would be afraid of the blood" Wei Wuxie explained in a slight gasp. He doesn't usually talk this whole time.

Moment ... Isn't Hua ...? Li Wei did not dare to call it. Especially when Hua herself did not know about her. I don't know his past or anything like that.

"Not to mention the Bao family is usually difficult to have children. If there was a child born from that clan, then it might be ten years or more away from the last birth. That is, it's like they die easily, and their birth is very low. That is why many people think that this is just a story. Does the Princess not know if such a story is exaggerated? Where there is such a human being," Zhang Yuwen said.

Wei Wuxie nodded. As well as agreeing with Zhang Yuwen's opinion. The human mindset from age to age changes. Clearly the thought of man a hundred years ago is even more ancient than it is now. Therefore, the story of the Prince Claimant, or the Tree Demon mentioned in the story was also probably a high-level imagination.

"That's why the Prince Claimant can't control the Demon Tree. He was not the owner of the Demon Tree. In the end, it was as told. The prince committed suicide. Not only for the sake of clearing the name of the royal family, but also for not being able to withstand the curse of the Devil Tree," Wei Wuxie said as she showed a book.

So, Wei Wuxie did not know about that story. He only opened a book that discussed about the Demon Tree. It was a little strange when the story of the Prince Claimant was only mentioned by word of mouth, but about the Tree Demon was mentioned in some books.

"Has this Devil Tree ever been seen by humans?" li Wei asked at last.

"On Mount Hua." The one who replied was the one standing outside the Cloud Library.

This made Li Wei panic overshadow his own head again. Because the one who entered the library was Ling Xiao. Where did this fortune teller hear their talk?

And, Mount Hua?

It was a mountain not far from the Li Kingdom. The mountain was called 'Hua' because it was filled with flowers.

^^^*Hua has many meanings, but this 'Hua' leads to the meaning of flowers. Sorry if the wrong thing is not the language itself -_-.^^^
