Chapter 16 - Archery

I was about to leave from the library and to my surprise Xiao Lin were standing at the entrance, left me shock. As i remember he was unconscious when i left him. His Eyes roaming around the library and teasingly said,

Found anything interesting about me?

I was caught of guard there. I walked toward him and grabbed his throat,

Sure, So interesting that making me kill you.

He laughed out loud like i said a joke to him. I gave him an annoyed look and left for my room.

He started to muttering from behind, 

Don't guess something weird by reading those nonsense history. We are far more better than these immortal's. Just because we revealed their cruelty buried behind, that's what made us notorious.

I ran back furiously to him and grabbed his collar, lifted him high,

Watch your mouth. You saying i am one of them?

He made an worked up face and said,

I never dared. You're so different from them that, it made me choose you.

His words made me more angry that i throw him on the ground. He stand up instant and started to brushing dirt from his clothe. 

My general sure only you can treat me like that. And this bravery guts making me regret for not finding you earlier.

I gave him a death glare and shouted,

Shut up.

I left for my room, so ashamed and felt so confused about what to do. My heart was pounding so fast that i could hear it. It was first time someone giving me that much attention and showing affection toward me. All i have had friends from several clans as junior, senior or childhood friends. All of them just friends in benefits. 

I was so tensed about what to do because left in everything as it is may hurt him too. I was sitting in my bed and staring at my sword. Noticing how flawless and effort given to that. An awkward guilt flowed throw my mind and i rushed to meet him. He was standing outside at that breeze. I was about to go near to him but the scenery made me hold there. The moon was brushing his clothes, sparkling his eyes and shining his hairs as the mist airs kept floating it.

I frizzed and seen a purity in his eyes which i never seen in anyone. As he moved toward me gave a warm smile, it made me realize maybe he is truly someone who really cares about me. Maybe god sent someone as a soulmate to company me, my loneliness.

He came toward me with misty smile,

As usual my general stays in dark to hide from this world. 

I gave him a disgust look and asked,

Xiao Lin, You aware people won't accept you here.

His smile removed in instant and grabbed my shoulder,

Chen Jun, I don't care. And you should too, stop caring. You don't know, all you are doing for them never will make them satisfy. Even if you die few of you're shoulder's may fall few drops of tear. But those peoples who's sleeping out there peacefully at you're blood shredded land, They would even curse you even after you're death for not winning for them. 

A shivering realization gone through my spine. I remembered no one ever gave me that selfless and friendly advise. I looked at him and i felt so comfort in his eyes. I had no words to split, I walked through the breeze and putted high my sword reflecting my eyes on blade.

You know Chen clan always aware of making chaos. because a foreign scientist once said to our clan leader that, Chen means "Chaos" and indeed everyone stays in their history book worth their name. I am the last heir of this clan. My biggest fear is now crashing what i controlled. I can't trust my nature. We were habitually arrogant and less cared.

He pulled the blade a little further to caught his eyes there too,

You should fear what if they snatch you're dearest thing from you, and you create a chaos in three realm. 

I looked at him and a cold breeze gone through my veins. I felt in a moment like, what if it really happens.

Xiao Lin, Don't say something absurd.

As we were talking a guard rushed to me and said,

You're highness, few officials came with warrant and want to take you to court as a suspect.

I got shocked and started to walking through my court room.
