Lan Xiaoyunâ¦
Boom!
Ghastly white in his face, the king rushes to confirm what his son said: âWho did you just say? Lan Xiaoyun? The one from the Liu Huo Kingdom? Not Red Xiaoyun or some other Xiaoyun?â
âI wouldnât be mistaken, itâs Lan Xiaoyun, daughter of Dong Ruolan,â Fu Ru Lin answers affirmatively.
Itâs at this moment that the king felt like the very sky was falling before his very eyes. Staggering backwards like heâs about to tip over, heâs ever so thankfully that thereâs a branch nearby for him to grip onto.
âWho else knows this?â He asks with that trembling voice of his.
That damn wretched woman!
The man was literally hating himself right now because if hadnât went soft back then, he wouldâve expelled that Fu Bao Yun straight out of the Royal House and banned her from the palace for good!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThisâ¦â Fu Ru Lin was stunned. Just as he was contemplating on how to answer his father right now, the third prince was interrupted by a old figure rushing over to their location.
âMaster Wu Lin, is something of the matter that you would be in such a rush?â Pleased to have a change of face, Fu Tian Qi (king) was much better in his tone compared to before.
âYour Majesty, Iâm here to report to you that Princess Bao Yun sought me out two days ago. I was told not to let you know, but after some thinking, I felt it was best you be informed regardless.â
Fu Bao Yun?
Why is it that woman again?
Hearing his heart sinking into the abyss, the king was almost too afraid to ask there: âShe again, what did she do this time?â
He may be an alchemist, but heâs merely a second ranked one, the lowest of the low. Without the support of a powerful shifu (master) or organization to back him, Master Wu Lin here can only rely on the Royal House to maintain his study and work. As such, the threat from the princess was a major sore spot for him. He didnât have the nerve to go against the woman, but that doesnât mean he wouldnât want to inform the king as an act of self preservation.
âFu Bao Yun, she-she knocked Dong Roulan into an unconscious state?â Trembling all over, the king was ready to faint at this point from how green and white his face was. But more than that, it was despair thatâs the most dominant here in his eyes.
âYes Your Majesty,â unaware of why the king looked so horrible, the old master here continues on with his explanation, âThat day Her Highness was trying to force Lady Roulan into betrothing her daughter to the third prince, because she wouldnât, the princess directly attacked the woman in a fit of rage.â
Boom!
Left in daze and unable to think anymore, Fu Tian Qi only had Master Wu Linâs words reverberating in his mind like an echoing effect.
Be beyond help and cannot wake againâ¦..
Cannot wake again!!!
Looking up in astonishment from the ground, Master Wu Lin remains oblivious to what the king meant by that.
âSomeone come! Iâm going to the Dong House to ask for forgiveness!â
