Chapter 26.1

Ever since Wen Chi came to this world, it was hard to even tell the difference between weekdays and weekends, let alone remember these festivals.

Hearing Eunuch Zhu say this, a long-lost sense of joy surged through his heart. As if by looking at the lively scene on the street, he could also smear a little bit of happiness on himself. At least because of this Dragon Boat Festival, the picture he saw before his eyes was no longer the cold East Palace or the Bamboo Flute Residence with only a few people.

Wen Chi looked fascinatedly at the busy street outside the window.

At this time, Shi Ye's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Want to go out and have a look?"

Wen Chi snapped back to his senses and when he turned his head, he saw Shi Ye holding his chin in one hand, staring at him calmly. Wen Chi's slightly confused expression reflected in his dark eyes. Shi Ye didn't seem to be interested in the hustle and bustle outside, on the contrary, Wen Chi's fascinated look made him feel quite interested.

Hearing this, Wen Chi was alarmed.

According to his experience, if this dog prince is so active it means nothing good will happen.

So Wen Chi refused without thinking: "Your Royal Highness, it's getting late. Let's leave early and go back to the palace."

It's a pity that Shi Ye was not only unmoved but patiently tempted: "You rarely go out of the palace and it's so lively outside. Do you really not want to go out and see?"

Wen Chi said firmly: "I just want to return to the palace as soon as possible."

AD

Shi Ye said, "No, you want to."

Wen Chi said, "I really don't want to …."

Shi Ye didn't speak any more but took away his hand supporting his chin and his eyes gradually became colder when he looked at Wen Chi. He tugged the corners of his mouth into a soft smile but the corners of his eyebrows were tint with a bit of coldness: "Bengong will ask you once again. Do you want to go out or not? Think clearly before telling Bengong."

Wen Chi: "…"

How could he smell a strong threatening aura from Shi Ye's words? He seriously suspected that it was Shi Ye who wanted to go out for a walk but didn't want to lose his face, so he backhandedly put his hat on his head.

He really doesn't want to go ah woo woo woo…

Even if he wanted to go, he didn't want to go with Shi Ye ah!

Although Wen Chi didn't want to agree, after struggling for a while, he still succumbed to this dog prince's authority: "I… I want to go…"

Shi Ye chuckled softly and narrowed his long and narrow eyes. He looked like he was smiling, but he didn't know how much of that smile in his eyes was true or false. He said in a pleasant tone: " Let's go."

After listening to Shi Ye's instructions, Eunuch Zhu, who was standing beside him, methodically took out a half-face mask from his cuff, knelt on the ground and carefully put the mask on Shi Ye's face.

Wen Chi wondered if Eunuch Zhu put a very bag in his cuff. How could everything come out of the cuffs?

After Eunuch Zhu finished, he stood up and prepared to push the wheelchair.

Seeing this, Wen Chi also hurriedly stood up and prepared to follow behind Shi Ye's wheelchair.

Unexpectedly, before Eunuch Zhu's hand touched the wheelchair, he was stopped by Shi Ye's wave: "Zhu Xian, you stay here."

Eunuch Zhu hesitated for a moment: "But Your Royal Highness…"

Shi Ye ignored Eunuch Zhu and directly turned his attention to Wen Chi, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb: "Come here."

When Wen Chi was called, his heart trembled and he subconsciously wanted to refuse. But when he lowered his eyes to meet Shi Ye's calm gaze, the words of refusal were all blocked in his throat and he quietly swallowed them and reluctantly walked over to grab the handle of the wheelchair.

Shi Ye said, "Let's go."

AD

Wen Chi glanced at Eunuch Zhu, who looked lost but didn't dare to say anything. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for both of them. He sighed secretly and pushed the wheelchair out of the private room.

The wheelchair under Shi Ye looks bulky but it was very cleverly designed. Not only can it be controlled by Shi Ye himself but it was not hard for Wen Chi to push the wheelchair, no wonder that thin maid named Zuo Zhi has been pushing the wheelchair.

After leaving the restaurant, there was a lively marketplace.

Wen Chi looked around and was dazzled. He didn't know which way to go, so he had to ask Shi Ye, "Your Highness… Young Master Shi, where do you want to go?"

Shi Ye still lacked interest and said, "Just walk around."

Since Shi Ye had said so, Wen Chi walked around aimlessly. Since he was still pushing Shi Ye, he didn't dare to join in the fun, so he could only walk in the middle of the street in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, the atmosphere in the market is very lively. And even if you just walk around, you can still feel the festive atmosphere from the sound of laughter around you.

Wen Chi saw an aunt selling rice dumplings1 in front of a vendor.

The ancient rice dumplings were slightly different from the modern ones. The ancient rice dumplings were smaller in size and it was not glutinous rice but millet rice wrapped in leaves. Those rice dumplings were steamed by the aunt and placed in piles in bamboo baskets and they were steaming hot.

Wen Chi was a little moved when he saw it and he couldn't help but stop. He tilted his head and asked Shi Ye, "Young Master Shi, do you want to eat rice dumplings?"

Shi Ye glanced at that aunt who was shouting loudly and said in a low voice, "No."

"Oh, okay." Wen Chi's excited tone despondent all of a sudden, but he quickly realized that he had failed to hide his emotions just now and hastily added with a smile, "Then let's go ahead and take a look."

Shi Ye suddenly said, "If you want to eat, you can go ahead and buy it."

Wen Chi was stunned for a while, then got excited again: "Really?"

"When have I ever told a lie?" Shi Ye tilted his head and said casually, "Go, I'll wait for you here."

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember something, he raised his hand, spread out his palm, on which there was a silver ingot.

"Young Master Shi, no need." Wen Chi hurriedly said, "I have money."

Before he came, the original owner had saved a lot of private money and the palace would also give him silver every month. He had almost nowhere to spend it except to take care of his servants and finally he could take them out and use them today.

When Shi Ye heard what Wen Chi said, he didn't force him and took his hand back.

From Wen Chi's point of view, he could just see the half of Shi Ye's face that was not covered by the mask. The interlaced red and yellow light on the street plated a layer of light on his cold white skin, but still gives rise to a kind of cold emotion that is unapproachable.

For some reason, Wen Chi felt that Shi Ye was preoccupied tonight.

Chapter 26.2

While he was thinking like this, Shi Ye turned around and frowned impatiently: "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Okay." Wen Chi instantly put away those messy thoughts and slipped away, "I'm leaving."

Wen Chi bought four rice dumplings, which were still a little hot. The aunt wrapped them in lotus leaves and tied them tightly with thin threads and handed them to Wen Chi with the end of the thread.

After Wen Chi paid the money, he picked up the rice dumplings and when he walked back, he saw the vendor who was molding a man next to him.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he quickened his pace and ran to Shi Ye's side: "Young Master Shi, can I give you a little something?"

Shi Ye looked at him with a cold expression.

When Shi Ye didn't speak, Wen Chi knew that he agreed. So he immediately pushed Shi Ye's wheelchair to the stall. He took out some money and talked with the stall keeper for a while and asked the stall owner to give him a lump of clay.

Shi Ye watched as Wen Chi happily took the lump of mud and he had a bad feeling: "What are you going to do?"

Wen Chi smiled and said, "I want to use this lump of clay to make a young master Shi."

Shi Ye: "…"

AD

Wen Chi saw Shi Ye's gaze sink, only then did he realize after the fact that he had just taken matters into his own hands and remembered Shi Ye's usual behavior. He suddenly broke into a cold sweat and hid the ball of clay behind him in a hurry. He was so frightened that he even stuttered when he spoke: "Young Master Shi.. Shi, I was wrong, I.. I will just make a small animal."

Shi Ye said, "No need."

Wen Chi was confused for a moment and then cautiously asked, "What does Young Master Shi want me to mold?"

"Mold me." Shi Ye propped his chin up, like a crowd of melon eaters watching the fun, "Seeing how confident you are, I would like to see what you can do with that lump of clay."

Wen Chi, who was instructed, quietly hung the dumplings on Shi Ye's wheelchair and then vigorously kneaded the clay figure.

Although he had never kneaded a clay figurine, he used to be good at playing with plasticine and it was not difficult for him to make plasticine into a realistic version of a man as long as he grasped a few characteristics of that person.

However, Wen Chi underestimated the difficulty of kneading a clay figurine. A clay ball is different from plasticine. The clay ball is not the best, it was very hard and it was not very sticky. Under the guidance of the vendor, he molded out a slightly decent clay figurine.

But….

AD

This clay figurine was so ugly, the eyes did not look like eyes and the nose did not look like a nose…

Wen Chi and the clay figurines stared at each other for a long time and his expressions looked more and more embarrassed.

"Young Master Shi…" Wen Chi remembered his words just now and his guts turned green with regret, "I'm not good at molding so let's let the boss do it."

Shi Ye stared at the clay figurine in Wen Chi's hand which he could barely make out the shape and smiled: "It seems you are no better than that."

Wen Chi lowered his head in shame.

"It's all right." Shi Te said, "Let's keep that."

Wen Chi jerked his head up and his entire face turned red: "No, no, this is too ugly…"

Shi Ye ignored him and raised his chin at the vendor: "Color."

"Okay." The vendor had already seen that the boy in the wheelchair was not an ordinary person, so he chose the latter without thinking between Wen Chi and Shi Ye. He took the clay figurine in Wen Chi's hand and started to color it quickly.

The vendor's technique was much better than Wen Chi's. After the clay figurine was painted, although it was still ugly, it was not so conspicuous.

AD

Wen Chi watched as Shi Ye took the clay figurine from the vendor and held it in his hand for a long time, feeling so ashamed that he wanted to disappear into thin air on the spot.

But Shi Ye finished looking at it and said to him meaningfully: "So I look like this in your heart."

"…" Wen Chi shook his head like a rattle and said tremblingly, "No, no, Young Master Shi, you are handsome and dashing but unfortunately my clumsy hands can't mold your majestic aura. This may be the most regrettable thing in my life."

After speaking, Wen Chi let out a long sigh and looked up at the night sky sadly at a forty-five degree angle.

"Since you said so, it would seem heartless for me not to help." Shi Ye put away the clay figurine with a smile, "I'll ask Zhu Xian to prepare things for you after we go back, so that you can mold every day, lest you regret it for a lifetime."

Wen Chi: "…" That's not necessary.

Wen Chi realized once again what it meant to shoot himself in the foot but what was more hateful is that he can't show his pain after being hit!

Tears flowed down his face and he was struggling with how to turn down Shi Ye's "kindness" when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the corner of his eye.

Wen Chi turned his head to look.

He saw a young man in green being pushed and shoved by a group of youngsters and the young man was hunching his shoulders pitifully, as if he didn't dare to resist and couldn't resist.

Soon, the boy in green was pushed and shoved until a tear-stained and extraordinarily white face was revealed.

Wen Chi was taken aback – isn't that person Wen Liang?

Chapter 27.1

Fearing that he was mistaken, Wen Chi rubbed his eyes and took a second look.

It was Wen Liang.

Even if Wen Chi forgot how he looked, he would never forget the red mole between his eyebrows. Wen Chi had seen several men with moles between the eyebrows in the East Palace but none of them had a mole on the center of his eyebrows that was more conspicuous than the protagonist's.

Others know women by the smell of their fragrance, while Wen Chi recognizes Wen Liang by the mole between his eyebrows

The teenagers who bullied Wen Liang also had red moles between their brows and they had malicious smiles on their faces, pushing and shoving Wen Liang while chattering..

It's a pity that Wen Chi was so far away that he couldn't hear what the teenagers were saying.

He could only see that Wen Liang was very helpless and was crying very sadly.

Wen Liang was already thin and frail and he was only about 1.7 meters tall, half a head shorter than those teenagers. He was even a little unsteady when being pushed around, he was clutching his arms and his lower lip was bitten until it turned white.

Wen Chi's expression was a bit complicated. Although he didn't like Wen Liang, he would feel sorry to see Wen Liang being bullied. He hesitated for a moment and decided to leave.

Out of sight out of mind. Whether Wen Liang is dead or alive has nothing to do with him.

AD

However, Wen Chi turned his head and met Shi Ye's profound expression, and did not know how long Shi Ye had been staring at him like this.

Wen Chi felt guilty inexplicably and he pulled the corner of his lips and said: "Young Master Shi, we'd better go back. There are still people waiting for us in the restaurant."

Shi Ye propped up his chin and put on a posture of watching a good show. He did not respond to Wen Chi's words but pointed in the direction of Wen Liang with his eyes: "Acquaintance?"

Wen Chi whispered, "I don't know him."

As if he couldn't hear Wen Chi's answer, Shi Ye said to himself, "He's being bullied."

Wen Chi didn't know what this crown prince wanted to do, so she could only say, "I really don't know him, let's just go."

Shi Ye smiled slightly at Wen Chi.

Wen Chi: "…" He had an ominous premonition.

The next moment, Shi Ye's palm turned over and a small lump of clay that Wen Chi had just used appeared on it. Before Wen Chi could react, Shi Ye flickered the lump of clay out.

Wen Chi watched as the clay ball scurried out like a bullet and in a flash it had precisely hit Wen Liang's calf.

Wen Liang, who was caught off guard, let out a scream and knelt directly on the ground, startling the teenagers who were still pushing him.

Wen Chi looked at Shi Ye without a word: "Young Master Shi, what are you doing…"

Shi Ye squeezed the mud ball in his palm and said concisely: "It's fun."

Wen Chi: "…"

This dog prince is really a dutiful villain and he never forgets to make things difficult for the main character.

When Wen Chi fell silent, Shi Ye bounced another clay ball out and the clay ball hit Wen Liang's other calf with precision again. Wen Liang, who barely just got up from the ground, fell to his knees again incomparably miserably and several teenagers on the side looked dumbfounded.

Shi Ye was having fun while flickering the clay balls out of his hand, one after another, all hitting Wen Liang and causing him to fall over and over again.

In the end, Wen Liang's face was blue from the pain and he didn't even have the strength to get up from the ground. He lay on the ground and cried miserably.

AD

The gentle cry attracted the attention of many passers-by and the teenagers panicked and ran away.

Wen Chi glanced at Shi Ye, and found that this guy was still addicted to playing and squeezed a clay ball that the vendor had packed for him, pretending to flick it out.

Wen Chi couldn't stand it anymore. It's not that Shi Ye bullied Wen Liang but he was angry at Shi Ye for bullying Wen Liang and dragging him along as cannon fodder. He doesn't want to die under the halo of the male lead so quickly. Can't Shi Ye secretly bully Wen Liang when he doesn't know about it!

"Young Master Shi, it's getting late, we should get going." Wen Chi said and reached out to push the wheelchair.

This time Shi Ye didn't say anything, threw away the clay ball in his hand and sat quietly in the wheelchair.

Wen Chi breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a little sorry for Wen Liang. What happened just now was an unexpected disaster for Wen Liang. However, this sense of guilt was soon forgotten by him – he felt that something was wrong.

"Young Master Shi." Wen Chi whispered, "I feel like someone is staring at us."

Shi Ye said leisurely, "You are right."

Hearing this, Wen Chi panicked for a moment but he quickly calmed down again. He thought of Shi Ye's calm attitude and remembered the scene of Shi Ye strangling Yue Shan with one hand. Suddenly, his sense of security increased exponentially and he walked without fear.

Wen Chi became confident and even began to make plans: "Young Master Shi, who is the person staring at us? Why don't we lure that person into the alley and capture him alive."

Shi Ye tilted his head and the corners of his mouth was raised as if he was smiling: "Are you going to catch him?"

Wen Chi was silent for a moment: "I can only lure the person."

Shi Ye said again: "And there is more than one opponent, there should be more than ten people, are you going to kill them all?"

Wen Chi smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it because you are here…"

Shi Ye sneered: "I'm just a disfigured cripple, do you expect a cripple like me to help you?"

Wen Chi: "…"

Chapter 27.2

What the hell! Why is this dog prince so useless? Didn't he walk so well before? Now he knows how to pretend to be disabled when he is in danger? It's too deep into the play!

Wen Chi was desperate, while pretending to look around, he took a peek from the corner of his eyes.

He found that there was really more than one person following them and just now he only had the feeling that he was being watched but now he could already sense these people were following them – those people were tall and thin, ordinary-looking men, uniformly wearing dark clothes. They did not seem to hide their intention and their sinister eyes were staring straight at Wen Chi and Shi Ye and gradually approaching them.

Fortunately, they were in a marketplace so these people still don't dare to do anything too conspicuous.

Wen Chi quickly retracted his gaze and pushed the wheelchair forward at a quicker pace. It was the first time he experienced this kind of thing and his voice trembled with fright and even called out Shi Ye's name directly: "Shi Ye, what should I do? They seem to be catching up!"

Shi Ye's voice also sank: "Go back to the restaurant."

Wen Chi said yes and pushed the wheelchair and jogged up.

The people who saw their intention to escape and they actually quickened their space. They are after all, not ordinary people who do not know martial arts, running silently, as fast as they can and almost in the blink of an eye, they encircled Wen Chi and Shi Ye from all sides.

Seeing those people getting closer and closer, Wen Chi's breath became more and more rapid.

AD

He was completely panicking and didn't know what to do next.

Obviously, these people took the opportunity when Shi Ye was alone by his side and judging from the behavior of these people, they seemed to be planning to make a move right here at the marketplace.

If they really start to fight, Wen Chi may not be able to beat even one of them, let alone fight a dozen of them at once.

While panting Wen Chi slowly stopped. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an alley where he might be able to escape—if no one around was willing to help them.

At this time, Shi Ye suddenly said, "Go back to the restaurant first."

Wen Chi was surprised: "What?"

Shi Ye said, "Go back to the restaurant to find Zhu Xian first and have Zhu Xian bring someone to find me."

Wen Chi said anxiously, "What about you?"

AD

Shi Ye said calmly: "I'll be fine."

Wen Chi said: "But there are so many of them, you won't be able to escape."

"They won't touch me for now," Shi Ye looked back at Wen Chi, the black half-face mask and the cold white complexion formed a strong contrast. There seemed to be some inexplicable feeling in his eyes but unfortunately it was fleeting, "If you also get caught, who is going to find Zhu Xian?"

Wen Chi was stunned for a moment. He thought about it carefully and found that Shi Ye's words made sense.

"Then I'll go first." Wen Chi is an obedient person. Since Shi Ye said so, he had to do it. "Wait for me, I will definitely find someone to save you!"

Wen Chi had already run a long way before his words fell.

He found the alley he had just noticed and ran into it.

Fortunately, the original owner was quite familiar with this place. With the help of the original owner's memory, Wen Chi didn't have to spend much effort to figure out the route back to the restaurant in his mind.

It should take less than a stick of incense1. As long as he runs fast, he might be able to rescue Shi Ye from those people soon.

But Wen Chi never imagined that before he could run any further, his legs suddenly froze.

AD

This familiar feeling…

A sense of despair arose, Wen Chi widened his eyes in shock and then his legs ran back uncontrollably.

Not far away, Shi Ye was already surrounded by those people. Shi Ye looked at them blankly, without even a flicker in his eyes. But when he turned his head and saw Wen Chi rushing back, a numb expression turned into an undisguised surprise and amazement. He looks at Wen Chi as if he had seen a ghost.

Wen Chi ran very fast and made a clattering sound when stepping on the ground.

The people who surrounded Shi Ye heard footsteps and looked back one after another.

Taking this opportunity, Wen Chi squeezed over, grabbed the handle of the wheelchair and ran wildly again, as if his legs had an engine in it, he ran like hell.

Those behind them were frozen for a moment before they reacted and immediately chased after them.

The originally lively market became chaotic under their chasing battle. The screams came one after another and passersby fled to both sides in panic.

Wen Chi originally wanted to find a shop or a restaurant to hide but after seeing the passers-by's actions as if to avoid the plague, he changed his mind and went into an alley nearby.

While flipping through the memory of the original owner's in his mind, he pushed the wheelchair around in the crisscross alleys.

The wind blew in his ears, mixed with Shi Ye's speechless voice: "What are you crying for?"

Wen Chi burst into tears: "WUuuuuuuu…"

Shi Ye: "Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"

Wen Chi cried and hiccupped: "I couldn't leave! I couldn't leave without you!"

Shi Ye: "…"

Chapter 28.1

Wen Chi's cry had not yet subsided, when he suddenly stumbled and his crying was replaced by a muffled sound of hitting the ground with a thud.

In order to avoid hitting Shi Ye in front of him, Wen Chi turned his body to the side when he fell, which made not only just his waist but his whole body to burst in pain

Wen Chi lay on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.

Shi Ye turned around the wheelchair, came to him and looked at him silently.

Wen Chi caught his breath and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and got up from the ground. He felt that his feet and waist were twisted and the knees, which were the first to hit the ground, were in pain and probably bleeding.

But he couldn't delay, he had to take Shi Ye to find Eunuch Zhu as soon as possible.

"Your Royal Highness, hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon." Wen Chi's eyes were scarlet with tears still hanging in his eyes. With a pale face, he smiled at Shi Ye and reached out to grab the handle of the wheelchair. .

Although Shi Ye's face was expressionless, there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions deep in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Chi's knee: "You are bleeding."

Wen Chi's voice trembled in pain: "I'm fine."

"Are you okay?" Shi Ye sneered and then said, "Forget it, we don't have to leave."

AD

Wen Chi said anxiously, "Those people are going to catch up!"

Shi Ye's voice turned cold: "How far do you think you can go like this?"

"…" Wen Chi was stunned. He was indeed limping when he walked while he also had to push Shi Ye's wheelchair so he could not run much faster, but he can't just let himself and Shi Ye be captured by those people. He said in a deep voice. "I'll walk as far as I can, walk until I can't walk anymore."

Shi Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "They are here."

This is a translation hosted on KnoxT, copies found elsewhere are either stolen or plagiarized. Please support the translator by reading it at KnoxT.

As soon as the words fell, Wen Chi heard a rustling sound coming from all directions, as if someone was walking quickly on the eaves and those sounds became more and more obvious, nearing them by the seconds.

In the blink of an eye, the people who had followed them not long ago turned into shadows falling from the sky, surrounding Wen Chi and Shi Ye tightly.

In this deep alley, those people had no worries at all, staring at Wen Chi and Shi Ye like hungry wolves.

Seeing this, Wen Chi's legs suddenly became weak and he almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, he grabbed Shi Ye's wheelchair in time.

AD

He thought that he could get rid of those people in the alley but he didn't expect that their qinggong1 was so good that they could catch up with them.

This is simply the difference between ordinary players and open players2!

Wen Chi was completely desperate. He saw that all the escape routes were blocked by those people and for a movement he gave up the idea of struggling.

Run but can't escape, fight but can't fight…

What else can he do?

Quietly waiting to die?

Wen Chi was mentally prepared and he was no longer as frightened as before, also there is a dog prince to accompany him to die, so he will not be too lonely on the road to the yellow springs3.

But as soon as he finished thinking this, he heard Shi Ye's cold voice: "You run away, their target is me."

Wen Chi said faintly: "Your Royal Highness, only dead people can keep secrets. I have come this far with you, do you think they will let me go?"

"Run away just like you did before. With me here, they can't catch up with you." Shi Ye said. Even though it was an imminent death, he still had that attitude of not caring about anything, as if he was just greeting a few friends who had come a long way, not being hunted down by a group of people

AD

From the beginning to the end, the only person who was chased extremely badly was Wen Chi.

When Wen Chi realized this, he had tears that were as wide as noodles but when he remembered what Shi Ye said, he doubted again: "Can I really run away?"

Shi Ye said, "Just run away."

Wen Chi hesitated: "What about you?"

Shi Ye said: "Don't worry about me, find Zhu Xian. He will know what to do."

Wen Chi was silent, he calculated the distance between here and the restaurant. If he could successfully escape, then it was not impossible to find Eunuch Zhu to rescue Shi Ye.

It's just that…

He looked at the side of Shi Ye's face that was not covered by the mask, only to see the corners of Shi Te's mouth lightly pursed, long eyelashes casting shadows on the cold white skin. His expression was so cold, clear and bland, as if he saw through everything, not afraid of anything and not even afraid of Wen Chi leaving him to run away.

Somehow, at this moment Wen Chi hesitated.

Before Wen Chi could make a move, Shi Ye suddenly said, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, the black-clothed man at the head sneered and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Royal Highness, our master wants to see you. I'm afraid you have to come with us."

The corner of Shi Ye's mouth held a smile as he said carelessly, "Bengong can go with you but bengong is an invalid. How do you plan to take me away?"

The man in black said, "We have our own way."

After that, he strode forward, as if to grab Shi Ye's shoulders and drag him off the wheelchair.

Chapter 28.2

However, the man in black only took a few steps, only to hear Shi Ye sneer and suddenly move his slender fingertips, a small clay ball popped out from between his fingers.

The man in black didn't even realize what had happened, when he felt his right eye go black and a warm and moist liquid spurted out of his eye, followed by the overwhelming pain, which instantly drowned him.

Wen Chi was stunned, his face ashen as he watched the mud ball being flicked into the black man's eye by Shi Ye, scarlet blood instantly covering the man's entire face and a strong smell of blood soon filled the air.

At this moment, a hand on his waist pushed him forward.

Wen Chi looked back subconsciously, just in time to meet the deep gaze of Shi Ye looking at him, the deep black eyes almost blended with the thick night color overhead.

Soon, those people reacted and the man in black at the head couldn't hide his murderous intent. With blood on his face, he raised his hand to hit Shi Ye.

Shi Ye controlled the wheelchair flexibly to avoid the attack of the black-clothed man and popped another clay ball out of his hand again, hitting the black-clothed man's lower abdomen accurately.

The man in black grunted but it didn't stop his attack and his moves became more and more fierce. Although they weren't fatal, every move carried a strong wind, almost killing Shi Ye.

Meanwhile, others joined in.

Wen Chi looked anxious, but at this juncture he couldn't help him. Even if he rushed up, he would only die. The only thing he could do was to hurry back to the restaurant to find Eunuch Zhu.

AD

Wen Chi desperately ran towards the restaurant while praying in his heart—that mysterious force would stop meddling around and controlling him.

Don't come, don't come, don't come!

He didn't want to run back again, then it would not be a matter of being chased, maybe he would die on the spot in the hands of those people.

He didn't know if God heard his prayer. Anyway, the familiar feeling didn't come but unfortunately Wen Chi didn't have time to rejoice when he heard the same familiar rustling in his ears.

The next moment, two people silently landed in front of him.

Wen Chi stopped abruptly and turned around reflexively to run into the alley next to him.

Those two people didn't give him a chance to escape and they landed in front of him again with qinggong. The two people took out a sharp dagger from nowhere and looked at him with indifferent eyes as if they were looking at a dead person – it seems that they have no intention of leaving Wen Chi alive.

"Big brother, spare your life!" Wen Chi was frightened and his survival instincts surged up in an instant, "I promise not to say anything, big brother, let me go!"

AD

The two of them didn't seem to hear Wen Chi's voice and there was no change in their expressions.

Wen Chi was held down by them, unable to move and he closed his eyes in despair.

But the imagined pain didn't come, instead, the force that bound Wen Chi quickly disappeared. One hand wrapped around Wen Chi's waist and the familiar sandalwood fragrance scrambled into Wen Chi's nose.

Wen Chi opened his eyes in confusion and found that he was actually being held in the arms of Shi Ye.

Shi Ye held him with one hand and waved the other hand in midair. The two people who had just climbed up from the ground suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and blood flowed out of their eyes and ears. Before they could even exert the strength to struggle, they fell to the ground without lifelessly becoming two corpses.

Wen Chi has no idea what happened. He instinctively grabs Shi Ye's clothes and leans against him with a strong desire for survival.

There was the sound of rustling from the people who were following them.

"Hold on tight."Shi Ye's deep voice sounded beside Wen Chi's ears, accompanied by a slight wind sound, which was like the sound of heaven for Wen Chi at this moment.

Wen Chi felt an unprecedented gratitude in his heart, like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood to save his life. He didn't say anything but responded to Shi Ye's words by grasping Shi Ye's clothes.

Shi Ye tapped his toes on the ground and he moved back quickly with Wen Chi.

AD

Wen Chi felt a little pain from the cold wind blowing on his face, he put his face on Shi Ye's chest and watched with his eyes wide open in horror as the shadows emerged from the night and rushed towards them with lightning speed.

Shi Ye waved his sleeves again,and the man who had caught up fell to the ground with a thud, becoming a corpse.

Seeing this, those people didn't flinch at all. They were like moths to a flame, rushing in wave after wave and each wave after wave became corpses. It didn't take long for them to lie on the ground along the alley, the strong smell of blood covered almost the whole air.

Wen Chi stared in a daze at this scene and didn't even notice when Shi Ye stopped.

After a while, he turned his head and found that Shi Ye had been looking at him.

Shi Ye is tall and when he stood up, he was more than half a head taller than Wen Chi. The lanterns hanging on both sides of the alley emitted a slightly dim light, which slanted down from behind and sprinkled on Shi Ye from behind, casting a shadow that enveloped Wen Chi's entire body.

Wen Chi said: "Your Royal Highness, are you all right?"

Shi Ye let out a chuckle, half contempt and half disapproval: "They can't hurt me."

Wen Chi froze for a moment and wanted to say something but saw Eunuch Zhu panting and running from not far away. Ten or so dark guards dressed in black fell beside them like raindrops and started to clean up the corpses in the alley.

In a trance, Wen Chi figured out some things. He looked up at Shi Ye, swallowed and said, "Your Royal Highness, did I ruin your plan?"

Shi Ye smiled: "What do you think?"

Chapter 29.1

The more Wen Chi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Not to mention that Shi Ye wanting to go out for a stroll was very abnormal but as Shi Ye's status as the crown prince, even if there were no guard to follow him after leaving the palace, it is impossible not to even have a secret guard to protect him.

Could it be that Eunuch Zhu was rest assured to let him push Shi Ye out?

The most important thing was that Shi Ye is not a powerless person. He not only has his legs intact but can also strangle people with his bare hands. Under such circumstances, how could he let himself become a fish in someone else's chopping board?

At last, Wen Chi came up with only one answer – that is, Shi Ye had anticipated all this and was ready to be captured.

Thinking about it this way, answers to many questions made sense.

No wonder Shi Ye didn't bring a bodyguard when he came out this time, no wonder Eunuch Zhu let him push Shi Ye out by himself despite being worried, no wonder Shi Ye repeatedly told him to leave…

If he hadn't been controlled by that force when he ran away the first time, maybe Shi Ye's plan would have succeeded.

That means…

The problem was with him.

AD

Wen Chi lowered his head in shame.

He was suddenly very annoyed by the setting of this novel and Wen Liang's broken system. Wouldn't it be nice to help Wen Liang reach the pinnacle of his life by being as quiet as a chicken? Why come to embarrass him, the cannon fodder?

The most desperate thing is that he has no ability to change these things.

"I'm sorry, I know I'm wrong." Wen Chi was upset and lowered his head in despair, "If I had known that what happened tonight was within His Highness's plan, I would never have ruined His Highness's plan, but I was too stupid, it was my stupidity that caused this mistake."

Shi Ye put him on the ground and said in a cold voice, "It seems that you still know that you are stupid."

Wen Chi looked down at his toes and slowly and his eyes and nose started to get sore.

He thought about his near death experience and along with the deep sense of powerlessness over fate, the two negative emotions intertwined into a huge net that overwhelmed him in an instant.

Wen Chi blinked and tears flowed out abruptly.

At that moment, a hand reached out and cupped his chin, the cold fingertips slightly forcing him to lift his head.

There were obvious tear marks on Wen Chi's pale cheeks. There were still tears in his eyes and his rosy lips were slightly parted. He didn't have time to retract his sad expression, as he stared blankly at Shi Ye.

Shi Ye lowered his eyes and looked down at him, his expression indifferent without the slightest fluctuation – even as he brushed his other hand up to the corner of Wen Chi's eyes.

"Answer Bengong." Shi Ye said, "At that time you already left, why did you come back?"

Wen Chi replied blankly, "I had to come back."

Shi Ye seemed to be very obsessed with knowing the answer to this question and asked, "Why?"

It was naturally impossible for Wen Chi to tell the existence of the novel and the system. He hesitated for a moment and then said in a formal manner: "You are the Crown prince. If something happens to you, I won't be able to live any longer, in that case, I might as well stay with you, whether alive or dead."

Shi Ye's expression still didn't change but Wen Chi, who was facing him, could clearly perceive that Shi Ye's eyes were gradually becoming colder.

"So that's how it is." Shi Ye pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile, but the smile was full of irony no matter how you looked at it, "It turns out that the medicine I gave you worked, no wonder you are such a greedy person who is afraid of death. You are willing to risk your life to come back to protect Bengong… that's right, if Bengong is dead, you can't live any longer."

Wen Chi: "…"

AD

He thought that Shi Ye might have misunderstood something but he didn't want to explain.

"Unfortunately, what's the use of you other than causing trouble for Bengong?" Shi Ye was in a bad mood, his voice became more and more colder and his words became more and more harsh, "If it wasn't to save you, how could Bengong kill them all?"

Wen Chi's face was covered in cold sweat and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Shi Ye's eyes again: "I know my mistake."

Shi Ye snorted coldly and flew away using qingong and the pure white figure quickly disappeared into the thick black night.

It was the first time that Wen Chi had seen some do qinggong so closely.

"Young Master Wen, this servant will take you back to the restaurant to rest first." Eunuch Zhu's tone was rather cold but he still said respectfully, "It's getting late, in order not to disturb others, let's wait until dawn tomorrow before returning to the palace."

Wen Chi agreed in a low voice.

On the way back to the restaurant, Wen Chi limped behind Eunuch Zhu.

He didn't feel anything before but now he felt pain all over his body and it was so painful to walk that it was like walking on the tip of a knife.

Wen Chi gritted his teeth and endured. He raised his eyes and saw the hunched figure of Eunuch Zhu in front of him. He couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch Zhu, who are those people who died just now?"

Eunuch Zhu said: "Enemies."

Wen Chi asked, "Which enemy?"

"This servant also wants to know." Eunuch Zhu gradually slowed down and walked side by side with Wen Chi. He glanced at Wen Chi with meaningful eyes, "His Royal Highness intended to follow them and wait for the mastermind to show up and then kill them all but unfortunately Cheng Yaojin ambushed the enemy1, and the whole plan was ruined."

Wen Chi: "…"

Well, he is that Cheng Yaojin.

Eunuch Zhu continued in a shrill voice: "But His Royal Highness asked the dark guard to deal with those two people who were blocking your way. This servant doesn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince decided to actually kill those people himself…"

Eunuch Zhu's voice became smaller and smaller by the end.

In the end, Eunuch Zhu shook his head helplessly. He couldn't understand why His Royal Highness was so impulsive and gave up the whole plan for the sake of a momentary emotion, it was not like His Highness's style of action at all.

After listening to Eunuch Zhu's words, Wen Chi said guiltily, "I'm sorry."

Eunuch Zhu urged: "If there is a next time, don't be so confused. Just do whatever His Highness asks you to do. No matter what His Highness does, he has his reasons."

Wen Chi hummed and after thinking about it, he still found a reason for himself: "I just can't bear to leave His Royal Highness."

"Really?" Eunuch Zhu said coolly, "I saw with my own eyes that when Young Master Wen was still in the market, you were running so fast that you didn't even look back."

Wen Chi: "…"

If he knew that Eunuch Zhu was staring in the dark at that time, he would have performed a Titanic-style farewell..

It means that something unexpected happened. —Cheng Yaojin was the leader of the peasant uprising army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and later joined Wagang Village. After the failure, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks in Xiping made great contributions . This person is honest and upright, holding an axe in his hand, and often squatting in the middle of the road to kill, so there is a saying that Cheng Yaojin kills in the middle of the road. Cheng Yaojin is a well-known fictional character. His original name is Cheng (Cantonese Yin Yao) Jin, later known as Cheng Zhijie . He was a military officer who followed Li Mi , Wang Shichong, etc. at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Later, he followed Li Shimin to pacify the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty. When he arrived at Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he became a general and his eldest son became the Duke of Lu. In the novel, he is a lucky general who uses a pair of axes as weapons. His martial arts are not very good, but his luck is good. In battle, when encountering a weak opponent, the three-axes have already performed their feats; when encountering a strong opponent, after playing thirty-six battles, they still cannot win, so they beat their horses and run away. Now there are also proverbs such as "Cheng Yaojin three axes", "Thirty-six axes", "kill a Cheng Yaojin halfway", etc., which come from this historical novel character.

Chapter 29.2

Back at the restaurant, the boss was not surprised by Wen Chi's tragic appearance and warmly took him to the room that had been arranged long ago and ordered the waiter to prepare hot water for a bath and brand new clothes for him.

Wen Chi's clothes had long been soaked with sweat and because he fell and rolled on the ground, it was stained with a lot of dust. Even he himself smelled a strange smell coming from him.

He doesn't know how Shi Ye held him and ran for so long…

After Wen Chi took off his clothes, he found that his ankles were red and swollen, like a steamed bun and it hurt even when he touched it lightly and both knees were worn out and the blood hadn't clotted yet so it looked bloody.

His waist was also severely sprained and even if he turned his body slightly, it was so painful that he couldn't help suck back several breaths of cold air.

Wen Chi didn't dare to take a bath, so he barely scrubbed his body, then hurriedly lay down on the bed.

He wanted to ask the waiter for some gauze and medicinal wine but after lying on the bed, he found it difficult to even get up, as if all the bones in his body had been torn apart.

It hurts.

He felt nothing but pain.

The pain caused him to sweat and he wrapped himself into a dumpling with the quilt and almost lost consciousness.

AD

He didn't know how long he slept but Wen Chi was still slightly conscious, he could feel someone entering his room and walking upto to his bed.

The person sat down beside his bed and seemed to be staring at him.

Although Wen Chi didn't have the strength to open his eyes, the strong presence of stalking made him unconsciously get goosebumps all over his body.

The person's eyes wandered slowly over him and after a while, a hand touched his cheek and the familiar cold touch spread across his senses.

It was actually Shi Ye.

Wen Chi was surprised, only Shi Ye's hands could be this cold and only Shi Ye would like to touch his face so perversely.

This is a translation hosted on KnoxT, copies found elsewhere are either stolen or plagiarized. Please support the translator by reading it at KnoxT.

When he was thinking like this, Shi Ye's fingertips suddenly stopped at his mouth.

Wen Chi was extremely confused, he really didn't think his charm was so great that Shi Ye came to his room in the middle of the night just to touch his face.

AD

The next moment, Shi Ye pinched his chin, forced him to open his mouth and then put his fingertips into his mouth.

Wen Chi: "…"

Just as he was about to open his eyes, he felt Shi Ye's fingertip swipe sharply on one of his teeth.

A sticky, bloody smell immediately spread in the mouth.

Wen Chi, who was pretending to be asleep, could no longer pretend to be asleep. He opened his eyes in panic and struggled to sit up despite the pain on his body.

However, it seems that Shi Ye was prepared for this and pressed his shoulders and easily pinned him to the bed.

Wen Chi didn't know what Shi Ye was going to do to him. The fear of the unknown filled his mind instantly. He was so frightened that his body was shivering. He held Shi Ye's fingers and said vaguely, "Your highness, please spare my life. I'm wrong. I really know that I'm wrong. woo woo woo woo…"

As he said that, he was so aggrieved that he cried.

He thought he was too unlucky. It wasn't that he wanted to run back, it was the broken system that forced him to run back and now all the blame was on his head.

It's all the fault of the broken system!

AD

Wen Chi was so frightened that he couldn't control his crying for a while, plus he was holding a finger in his mouth, howling like a ghost.

In the end, even Shiye got a headache from his crying and said in a cold voice: "Bengong didn't blame you, why are you crying?"

Wen Chi cried: "I am sad."

Shi Ye couldn't bear it any longer: "Shut up!"

The strong desire to survive stopped Wen Chi's cries abruptly. He tried his best to keep his mouth shut and looked pitifully at Shi Ye's gray-black figure with his almond eyes covered with mist.

The room was dark and only the faint moonlight shone in from the windowsill, barely reflecting a vague outline of what was in the room.

However, Shi Ye's sight is very good, not only can he see the ugly appearance of Wen Chi crying with his finger in his mouth, but also see that even if Wen Chi was silent, big tears were rolling out of the corner of his eyes.

Shi Ye paused and finally suppressed the urge to wipe away Wen Chi's tears. He ordered, "Drink my blood."

Wen Chi didn't dare to disobey Shi Ye's words, so he bit the bullet and swallowed all the blood in his mouth.

The amazing thing is that although Shi Ye's blood also had a fishy taste, it was not as difficult to swallow as one would expect.

Immediately afterwards, the pain in Wen Chi's body dissipated very quickly and he even felt that the wound on his knee was healing visibly.

Heavens …

Wen Chi was shocked beyond words.

What's going on?

Shi Ye's blood turned out to be…

In a trance, Wen Chi remembered what the Grand princess said to Shi Ye. He thought that the Grand princess was worried that Shi Ye's face and legs would not recover, so she tried her best to persuade Shi Ye to see a doctor.

But now it seems that maybe the Grand princess was referring to this ability of Shi Ye.

Chapter 30.1

Since the accident in the Wen family, Wen Liang has not stepped out of the house.

He didn't know exactly what happened. He only learned from his mother and servants that it seemed that Wen Chi had confessed to the Emperor about the Wen family, so that his father Wen Changqing's official position dropped from the third rank to the sixth rank. Not to mention he had suffered from gossip and received countless scorns from his colleagues in the official circle.

Wen Changqing's position was not as easy as before. He was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Punishment and those people are unruly and overbearing. Not only that, anyone who is not close to the Fourth Prince Shi Jin are included in their enemy camp, even Wen Changqing, a neutral faction that belongs to the fence-sitter.

Therefore, when Wen Changqing first took office, things were often deliberately made difficult by those people and even a few people younger than him could ride on his head and exercise authority.

Sometimes mental oppression is more devastating than physical punishment. Wen Changqing couldn't stand it after staying in his new position for five or six days. He even has the idea of resigning and taking his wives, concubines and children back to the countryside to escape for a period of time.

But what made him even more devastated was that he had repeatedly gone to Lord Yin's residence, but was repeatedly turned away by Lord Yin.

Then one day, he was able to squat outside the palace to see Lord Yin who was leaving the court, but he didn't expect that Lord Yin would immediately turn dark when he saw him.

Wen Changqing didn't know why, so he had to ask Lord Yin for the reason.

Lord Yin looked at Wen Changqing with hatred and anger, wanting to say something but finally said: "You know exactly what you have done."

Seeing this, Wen Changqing knew that those things must have reached Lord Yin's ears and his face flushed with shame as he said anxiously: "Lord Yin, I was wronged… If someone hadn't told me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince… "

AD

"No matter what you heard, His Royal Highness is still a royal, how can you and me be able to calculate?" Lord Yin sighed, "The crime of deceiving the king is to be beheaded, if your second son did not plead for your Wen family, your head would have flown out from your neck. There are things that people should dare to do and dare not, since you dare to do such things, in the future you will have to bear the consequences."

After saying that, Lord Yin waved his hand and turned around to leave.

"Lord Yin, I know I was wrong." Wen Changqing crumbled to his knees, tears of remorse spilling out of his eyes, "Can Lord Yin, for the sake of our friendship in the past, put in a few good words for me to the emperor? I beg you, Lord Yin!"

Lord Yin didn't seem to hear Wen Changqing's voice and walked away without looking back.

Wen Changqing returned to the mansion in despair and Madam Xu, who had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, hurriedly greeted him: "Master, what did Lord Yin say? Will he help us?"

Wen Changqing's face was ashen, he turned his head to look at Madam Xu's worried face and remembered a bunch unpleasant things – if Madam Xu hadn't encouraged him, how would he have thought of letting Wen Chi enter the palace instead of Wen Liang?

Now that the Hua family behind the crown prince is in full swing, even the emperor is afraid of the crown prince. Even if the crown prince is disfigured and his legs are disabled, he was treated better than those princes who were not favored. They wouldn't have been at a loss even if Wen Liang got married, if Wen Liang had caught the eyes of the crown prince like Wen Chi, their Wen family would have been like roosters and the dogs ascending to heaven1.

It's all Madam Xu's fault…

AD

An illiterate woman's family dared to give him ideas, causing him to lose his mind. Not only did he miss the opportunity to get close to the crown prince but also led to such a disaster …

Wen Changqing became angrier the more he thought about it and then he flicked his hand and slapped Madam Xu in the face.

This is a translation hosted on KnoxT, copies found elsewhere are either stolen or plagiarized. Please support the translator by reading it at KnoxT.

The slap was extraordinarily crispy.

Madam Xu's head tilted from the blow. She covered her face, looking at Wen Changqing in disbelief, as bright red blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

Wen Changqing was enveloped in anger, raised his hand and pointed to the door: "Get out of here, don't show up in front of me from now on."

Madam Xu's tears streamed down in an instant: "Master…"

Wen Changqing roared, "Get out!"

With tears streaming down her face, Madam Xu turned around and hurried out of the study.

Although Wen Changqing vented at Madam Xu and his servants, he still had to go to the palace the next day and be ridiculed by his colleagues. Wen Changqing was so patient on the surface but inside he was so angry that he almost fainted.

In this way, the entire Wen House was enveloped by a suffocating low pressure, and everyone was afraid of getting into trouble.

AD

Even Madam Xu, the matron of the family was washing her face in tears every day, both resenting Wen Changqing for putting the blame on her and resenting Wen Chi for not giving the Wen family a way to survive. Now that the damn white-eyed wolf has climbed up the crippled crown prince, the sparrow flew up the branch and became a phoenix2, he didn't even spare the Wen family who raised him.

But no matter what happened at home, Madam Xu was not willing to tell Wen Liang about these bad things.

Wen Liang was her only son and he was also the darling of her eyes. In the future, he will marry the most promising young talent in the capital. She doesn't want Wen Liang to focus on these unnecessary things.

With Madam Xu's orders, the servants of Wen's residence also tacitly did not mention these things before Wen Liang.

Although Wen Liang accidentally heard some rumors, he never took the news to heart and continued to live in his ivory tower, the only doubt was that his former playmate suddenly stopped coming to see him.

Wen Liang waited for a long time and finally waited until the Dragon Boat Festival.

He heard that some of his former playmates were going to go shopping at the market outside, so he quietly slipped out of the house and found those playmates.

But Wen Liang never imagined that after seeing him, the playmates who used to be good friends changed their faces and forced him to the corner of the market, bullying him and insulting him…

"Your father is so despicable, he schemed and calculated even his own son."

"My father said not to go with your Wen family, if I did I will get calculated in his schemes."

"Wen Liang, you must have known that your father wanted to give your younger brother instead of you but you still ate and drank with us like nothing happened in those days, your heart is really malicious."

His playmate's malicious words were like a needle in Wen Liang's heart.

" When one person attains the Tao, the rooster and the dog ascend to heaven " is a Chinese idiom, which means that when one person attains the Tao, the whole family, including chickens and dogs, ascend to heaven. It is a metaphor for a person who becomes an official, and those who are related to him also gain power.

Chapter 30.2

Wen Liang couldn't say anything to refute, only tears kept rolling down his face.

In the end, Wen Liang couldn't remember how he got out and he returned to the mansion in a daze.

The two maids who were waiting for him to come back, were poking their heads in front of the courtyard. When they saw his figure from afar, they rushed to welcome him.

"Young Master, you are finally back."

"Young Master, have you eaten yet?"

Wen Liang opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, his mouth was full of the bitter taste of tears.

He shook his head silently and kept walking forward.

The two maids soon discovered that something was wrong with Wen Liang and surrounded him from left to right.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

AD

"Young Master, is something wrong?"

It's a pity that no matter what the two maids asked, Wen Liang kept silent.

It was not until they entered the room, in the light of the candle, that the two maids saw Wen Liang's tears and the scratches on his face and hands.

They were so frightened that they hurried to find gauze and medicinal wine to bandage Wen Liang's wound.

Wen Liang didn't know what happened to him. He was inexplicably hit by something and fell down countless times. His body was covered with bruises and scratches. The two maids worked for a long time to clean up the injured areas.

It was definitely impossible to take a bath in such a state, Wen Liang could only barely scrub his body with warm water.

After finishing everything, he let the two maids retreat and lie on the bed quietly.

At this time, an inhuman voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Find a way to go to the peach blossom banquet."

AD

Wen Liang blinked dully and said blankly, "Now without my father's help, I can't go to the Peach Blossom Banquet."

The system said: "You can go."

Wen Liang asked, "How can I go?"

It was quiet for a moment before the system said: "Go find the son of the Li family, he will be willing to take you there."

"But Li Xu he…" Wen Liang hesitated, his expression seemed reluctant but after some hesitation, he compromised, "Okay, I'll go find him tomorrow."

Seeing that Wen Liang was so obedient, the system put a few images in his mind to encourage him – At the peach blossom banquet, the fourth prince, Shi Jin, was standing gracefully beside a running water, holding him in his arms who was pale from excessive shock.

Wen Liang looked at those pictures carefully and he felt a little hopeful. He said carefully, "Does the fourth prince really like me?"

The system said: "He is the one destined for you."

Wen Liang asked suspiciously, "Why must it be him?"

"Your wish is to stay away from Shi Ye and I was born based on your wish." The system replied in a straight-forward manner, "When you made this wish, I knew the destiny of you and Shi Ye. You have your destined person, Shi Ye also has his destined person, only when both of you complete your respective destiny line, your wish will be truly fulfilled."

Wen Liang was a little hesitant.

The system sensed his emotions and comforted: "The peach blossom banquet is the best time for you to get to meet Shi Jin, don't miss it, with me, everything will go smoothly."

With the system's comfort, Wen Liang's restless mood gradually calmed down. But when he remembered what had happened these days, his eyes were sore again and his voice was unconsciously tinged with sobs: "Wen Chi is too much, he hates me. It's okay to hate my mother but why should he vent all those hatreds on my father? I'd rather he come at me directly…"

Speaking of Wen Chi, the system suddenly fell silent.

As the saying goes, pull one hair and the whole body is affected1, all these changes were caused by Wen Chi. With the existence of Wen Chi, the outcome that the system had long predicted changed little by little.

Why was that?

The system couldn't guess the reason, the only thing it knows is – if it let it go on, then its mission can never be completed.

The next day.

When Wen Chi opened his eyes, it was pitch black in front of him.

He was stunned for a while, only to realize that he was buried in the quilt and he seemed to be holding something in his hand. He subconsciously touched it and felt the well-defined muscles and when he touched all the way down, he touched what felt like the root of the thigh.

Wen Chi: "…"

He suspected that he was hugging a person.

Wen Chi was startled by this guess, he stretched out his hand to push the person he was hugging away but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt his collar was violently grabbed by a hand.

That hand suddenly lifted him upward.

Wen Chi's hands were still against the person's legs, so he was forced to feel his way up and finally touched a face.

A cold and icy face looked at Wen Chi.
