The Princess And The Lord

Mong Ki took Tao Ji Fang and Yang Zhou to the little treasure shop. The location of the shop was indeed quite remote, namely at the end of the road far from the center of the big shops. You could say this shop is not profitable, but Tao Ji Fang knew that this place was deliberately chosen so as not to attract unwanted attention.

They also turned into a small alley behind the little treasure shop, it was very dark at that time and there were no patrols passing through this alley so the atmosphere was very quiet but the thing that made Tao Ji Fang and Yang Zhou nervous is because they could feel the presence of a Shadow guard watching them from the roof shades around them and also from the tree branches, and the closer they got to their destination the more they could felt the presence of the shadow guards as if they deliberately show their presence as a warning for them not to do anything stupid.

Yang Zhou was also very anxious, his heart was pounding uncontrollably, he finally understood why Mong Ki said that if Long Ming wanted to harm his master there was nothing he could do, apparently it wasn't a threat instead he was just relaying the facts.

"We're here!" Mong Ki suddenly stopped his steps in front of a small building that looked very simple and modest from the outside but Tao Ji Fang and Yang Zhou could feel this place being protected by an extremely powerful array that was probably only second from Heaven's Gate Sect's protective Array.

Mong Yi took out a paper talisman from his sleeve and then pressed the talisman against the gate after that he created a symbol with a fast hands movement soon after the array was open but only in front of the door as if it created a hole for the door, then calmly Mong ki opened the gate, after that, he turned around then politely invited Tao Ji Fang and Yang Zhou.

"Please come in" Mong Ki makes a polite hand gesture.

Tao Ji Fang clear his throat to appear cool and dignified before he enter the gate but deep down he was actually in shock knowing that Hei Shen used a double mechanism to enter the array one can only imagine how complicated this array must be and whoever made it must be a rare talent of array master.

And when they entered Mong Yi who was there closing the front gate and immediately the array closed again, Yang Zhou looked back and subconsciously swallowed hard to realize that they could not escape from this place if something happened like a rat in a trap.

Mong Yi saw Yang Zhou's anxious face, he then gave Yang Zhou a friendly smile but Yang Zhou think that Mon Yi's smile was exceptionally scary and very threatening, immediately Yang Zhou's expression became uptight but Mong Yi thought he had made a good job pacifying Yang Zhou.

Moreover, they can be considered to be the young madam's friends so Mong Yi wants to treat them well, unlike his older brother, Mong Yi thinks he is more approachable and friendly so they must be felt calmer after meeting him.

Feeling proud of himself Mon Yi watches Yang Zhou walking in with Tao Ji Fang with a satisfied smile.

Meanwhile, Mong Ki takes them to a not very big garden and in the middle of the garden there is a pond with a pavilion standing on it, and inside the pavilion, a man sits quietly drinking wine leisurely as if he was detached from the worldly matter.

Tao Ji Fang had seen Long Ming's face for a long time before he started wearing his golden mask often by then he was already in awe of his unreal appearance so he didn't blame the woman who was infatuated with Long Ming and dared to take any risks to gain his attention just like a moth flying into a fire, luckily Long Ming now always wore a golden mask to cover his face so few women were harmed since then.

Zhao Li Xin gracefully turned her gaze to Tao Ji Fang, her lazy eyes glanced at Tao Ji Fang then he put his wine cup on the table later Mong Ki approached him while cupping his fists, and bowed deeply, "Milord, Master Tao is here" he said in a polite tone without a trace of the arrogant behavior he had shown to Yang Zhou earlier.

Without even glancing at him, Zhao Li Xin waved his hand to signal Mong Ki to continue while pouring himself a cup of wine. Mong Ki then raised his hand in a polite gesture to Tao Ji Fang "Master Tao please" he invited Tao Ji Fang to enter the Pavilion.

Although Zhao Li Xin's behavior could be said to be impolite yet no one dared to comment, even Yang Zhou had to keep his mouth shut. Previously people known Zhao Li Xin was the strongest person in the Xin Fang continent but after he defeated Wei Zu Tian people started to renown him as the strongest man in the world.

Tao Ji Fang flicked his robes before he sat down, and the two exchanged glances while Mong Ki poured wine. On a cold night, the sound of water filling the wine cup mixed with the sound of ripples from the pond makes the air become intensely tight.

when Mong Ki finished pouring the wine he put the wine flask on the table then bowed and stepped out of the pavilion to give some privacy, Mong Ki then invited Yang Zhou to come with him, after Yang Zhou saw Tao Ji Fang give a nod of approval only then he reluctantly followed Mong Ki.

Tao Ji Fang took a sip of his wine and then muttered "Good wine"

Zhao Li Xin faintly smile "This wine is too strong, only people with cultivation can enjoy this wine" Zhao Li Xin sips his wine before putting down his winecup gently on the table "It seems that your cultivation is higher than the rumors say"

A slow smile spread across Tao Ji Fang's face "You're not the only one who likes to hide your claws, even so, your power right now is....immeasurable" He looks at Zhao Li Xin with cautious evaluation, and soon after his heart was trembling in fright cause he cannot measure how high Zhao Li Xin strength, Wei Zu Tian lost in his hands.

"May I know what you called me here? I believe whatever you want from me must be important, right?" Tao Ji Fang's expression was filled with curiosity before he didn't know what Long ming wanted but now his guts were telling him that Long Ming didn't mean to hurt him.

A faint smile graced his handsome face, he wondered how a smart person like Tao Ji Fang could have a stupid Son like Tao Bing Wen.

"Right, actually I need your help..." Zhao Li Xin leans his head on her fist while showing an indifferent attitude.

Tao Ji Fang was surprised his brows furrowed as he looked at Zhao Li Xin in confusion, "Are you kidding me, with your strength and your  powerful allies on your back why do you need me for?"

Zhao Li Xin expected Tao Ji Fang's reaction so she wasn't surprised, he straightened his back and then formed a tower with his long fingers "nevertheless, I do need you, in fact, I need everyone's help"

Tao Ji Fang narrowed his eyes in disbelief, "Why are you so afraid of Wei Zu Tian?"

Zhao Li Xin's eyebrows suddenly rose and then he burst out laughing until his eyes turn into crescents, it took a while for Zhao Li Xin finally calm down he then chuckled with a sneer, "Wei Zu Tian…"

"I am wrong?" Tao Ji Fang didn't look offended after being laughed at, instead, he became even more curious, "Then who are you really afraid of Lord Long Ming?"

Zhao Li Xin glanced from under his lowered eyebrows, he raised his wine cup and took another sip, there was a moment of silence between them.

Zhao Li Xin tapped the wine cup in a monotone sound with his finger as he immersed in his thought not long after he raised his gaze towards Tao Ji Fang.

"It's not fear...it more like a comprehension" Zhao Li Xin smirked "And is not Wei Zu Tian that I'm worried about…but, it was that woman named Lao Min Na" This was the first time Zhao Li Xin had called out Lao Min Na's full name which meant that he had become even warier of her presence.

Who knows whether Lao Min Na will be happy or sad if she finds out about this but perhaps neither because Lazarus has drained almost all of her human emotions.

"Lao Min Na? Wei Zu Tian, ​​new woman?" Tao Ji Fang was stunned.

"Yes, that one." Zhao Li Xin raised his winecup with a dangerous glint in his eyes, "You should already know that Lao Min Na has made questionable medicines all these years and she has also offered many strange beasts to many influential sects and families that are used as weapons, maybe your sect has also encountered one of those strange beasts."

Tao Ji Fang nodded "Yes, our sect once fought this beast that was sent from our opposing sect, the Iron Horse sect and in that fight, we lost many of our best members but later Lao Min Na's men came to me with a presumptuous offer to sell a beast to me so I can take revenge on our enemies!"

Tao Ji Fang's face turned red in anger as he remembered that day "Lao Min Na's men said Lao Min Na didn't know that the Iron Horse sect would use the beasts to attack us and out of guilt Lao Min Na wanted to give another strange Beast that much stronger one for half price! isn't she nice, when she was the  one who sell these beasts all over the place without care!" Tao Ji Fang hit the table furiously and shout, "That woman must think I'm a fool, huh?!"

"I heard you refused to do any transactions with Lao Min Na after that" Zhao Li Xin glanced at Tao Ji Fang's face with a bit of amusement.

Tao Ji Fang sneered, "Of course, there is something very wrong with that woman, I don't understand why she sells that dangerous Beast to people regardless of what kinda people she sells the Beast to, although many people might think he's just doing business, however, to me, her attitude is like she can't wait to see the world fall apart!"

"Because that's what she wants..." Zhao Li Xin casually said.
