Chapter 14 - Moonlight

The dazzling feature of him, made my eye's unbale to move. We spent the whole night near the shore in silence until dawn. 

When the sun appeared Pei Rang already left all by himself somewhere as nature, sure he don't stick still somewhere much long.

I started to prepare for Xian Camp Sect.

I were pretty nervous to ask Xiao Lin if he is about to leave for somewhere or staying with me. But good grief, he spattered words himself,

I have to stay any guest halls near markets so you can leave me near to any street market.

I insisted,

How come i leave my ally somewhere to stay, when the Xian hall is welcoming guests.

As he agreed, a sudden pleasure felt through my veins.

We arrived at Xian residence, and told to prepare a room for him to my guards.

You must be tired Xiao Lin rest up. I have some work at my court room.

He replied with a disappointment,

The way you call Jing-a little whitey why not call me little Xiao?

I knew he was teasing, i already became red with embarrassment and yelled,

Absurd.

As i was walking toward my official hall ignoring him, he started to following me and kept asking what should he call me.

Cold General, Rude General or Enraged General Jun.

I stopped and looked back at him, but his smiles didn't made my voice shout out loud. I lightly said,

Shut up.

He followed me through the hall. The maid's came with tea and preparing ink drop. He gave them a death glare and they gone out with a shiver. He said,

I will melt ink for you.

I ignored him and he started to scratching the ink. His way made me tease him deliberately,

Sure you were surrounded by maids. It's normal for you, to not have the skills of those little works.

I gave him a teasing smirk and took the ink bar from his hand, and started to grounding it roundly until the powder wet.

He pouted his face and i called one of maid to take him his room.

Without any question he left in anger.

As he left I called another maid from before and asked,

If you don't have a death wish spill that, isn't he the one who took me that day when i were injured? 

The maid got scared,

Don't be indignant you're highness, Sure it's him.

As expected. I said her to leave and started to writing a massage and give my aide to send it.

I was also tired of journey so i replaced my sword with Chen's sword and gone for rest.

When the night came i was feeding little whitey and got the reply massage from the Lord of Luofeng Pavilion. The guess i made was right.

A guard rushed with a news,

You're highness, official's found Ming Rui Jing's dead body at a forest hanging on a tree. They said he seemed murdered and the body condition saying he died almost three days ago.

I remembered, It's the exact day he attacked me, but as i know clearly he ran away before i caught him. 

A sudden realization came through me. I rushed to Xiao Lin's room and he was laying in his bed.

I pinned him up and put my sword pointed at his neck,

Speak, Who are you?

He kept quite, I was already vexed with him and the suspicion became more wider.

Tell me, who are you? Why acting all custodian around me?

Then he started to laugh and said,

As expected, my quick witted general. Even If i tell you who i am, you can't even acknowledge me.

He flipped my blade and grabbed me as I was about to fell.

His eyes darkened and Irish became all blue. He have extreme power his miasma's telling those.

He still said in his sweet voice,

You don't need to find out who i am. Just remember, i care about you and i won't let anyone lay a finger at you. A scratch on you and i will destroy them.

My eyes couldn't believe this sight of him. I couldn't understand how should i react what should i tell him. I started to see blur as i was looking straight at his eyes, and my eyelids felt so heavy that i couldn't keep my eyes pen and passed out.
