"Hua‌ ‌Cheng!‌ ‌Crimson‌ Whip!‌ ‌D-d-d-don't‌ ‌do‌ ‌anything‌ ‌rash!‌ ‌The‌ ‌burning‌ ‌of‌ ‌your‌ Paradise‌ ‌Manor‌ ‌was‌ ‌an‌ ‌accident!‌ ‌If‌ ‌you're‌ ‌displeased,‌ ‌we‌ ‌can‌ ‌talk!‌ ‌The‌ ‌heavens‌ ‌can‌ ‌pay‌ ‌you‌ ‌back.‌ ‌His‌ ‌majesty‌ ‌isn't‌ ‌that‌ ‌short‌ ‌on‌ ‌cash.‌ ‌Let‌ ‌go‌ ‌of‌ ‌His‌ ‌Highness,‌ ‌and‌ ‌let's‌ ‌talk."‌ ‌what are they- oh! They're putting on an act. brother didn't know at the time, but he would know soon enough.

"Lord‌ ‌Wind‌ ‌Master,‌ ‌you're‌ ‌mistaken.‌ ‌It‌ ‌actually..."‌ ‌brother tried to explain the real reason why Honger and A-song were at the Xianle palace when Honger and A-song cut him off.

"Who said this was about Paradise Manor?" A-song gave a fearsome glare Qing Xuan's way.

"I‌ ‌haven't‌ ‌even‌ ‌counted‌ ‌the‌ ‌whole‌ ‌incident‌ ‌with‌ ‌Jun‌ ‌Wu‌ ‌setting‌ ‌up‌ ‌a‌ ‌spy‌ ‌under‌ ‌my‌ ‌eyes,‌ ‌so‌ ‌there's‌ ‌nothing‌ ‌to‌ ‌talk‌ ‌about."‌ ‌Honger said with an intimidating presence. I tried to hide my smirk, but Feng Xin and my brother could see it already.

"Alright,‌ ‌stop‌ ‌acting.‌ ‌He‌ ‌only‌ ‌came‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌heavens‌ ‌to‌ ‌save‌ ‌me.‌ ‌San‌ ‌Lang‌ ‌had‌ ‌good‌ ‌intentions,‌ ‌so‌ ‌why‌ ‌hide‌ ‌it?"‌ ‌brother spoke up. I glanced back to see Suki and Snake were trying to hide giggles.

‌"No‌ ‌more‌ ‌acting."‌ ‌Shi‌ ‌Qing Xuan‌ ‌replied as i leaned my head into A-song's shoulder. ‌"I‌ ‌already‌ ‌sent‌ ‌those‌ ‌two‌ ‌exchanges‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌communication‌ ‌array.‌ ‌You‌ ‌don't‌ ‌understand;‌ ‌no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌how‌ ‌good‌ ‌the‌ ‌intention,‌ ‌after‌ ‌being‌ ‌passed‌ ‌around,‌ ‌words‌ ‌will‌ ‌always‌ ‌end‌ ‌up‌ ‌becoming‌ ‌negative,‌ ‌so‌ ‌they‌ ‌might‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌be‌ ‌negative‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌start."‌ ‌

‌"You‌ ‌get‌ ‌it."‌ ‌Hua‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌commented. I smiled at him. I saw Feng Xin looking at us like we had just set a shrine on fire.

‌"Of‌ ‌course!‌ ‌Otherwise‌ ‌how‌ ‌could‌ ‌I,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Lord‌ ‌Wind‌ ‌Master,‌ ‌be‌ ‌so‌ ‌popular‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌heavens?"‌ ‌Shi‌ ‌Qing Xuan‌ ‌preached. ‌"General‌ ‌Nan‌ ‌Yang,‌ ‌lower‌ ‌your‌ ‌bow."‌ ‌

‌looking up to him, Feng‌ ‌Xin‌ ‌still‌ ‌had‌ ‌the‌ ‌bow‌ ‌pulled‌ ‌at‌ ‌almost‌ ‌full‌ ‌strength,‌ ‌holding‌ ‌his‌ ‌breath‌ ‌and‌ ‌not‌ ‌saying‌ ‌a‌ ‌word.‌ ‌Shi‌ ‌Qing Xuan‌ ‌smacked‌ ‌him but Feng Xin didn't flinch. ‌"Put‌ ‌it‌ ‌down,‌ ‌can't‌ ‌you‌ ‌see‌ ‌they're‌ ‌close?‌ ‌Nothing‌ ‌bad's‌ ‌gonna‌ ‌happen."‌ ‌

‌"Your‌ ‌Highness,‌ ‌the‌ ‌one‌ ‌next‌ ‌to‌ ‌you‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌'Supreme'..."‌ ‌Feng Xin said swapping between brother and i. Qing Xuan saw how Feng Xin was watching us. "... and the other is a step before becoming one."

Qing Xuan‌ ‌saw the tension still growing in the air, and i could even rays my hand when they suddenly‌ ‌rammed‌ ‌themself‌ ‌into‌ ‌Feng Xin's ‌arm! I stood straight, knowing how he has reacted in the past to a woman going after him like that from Feng Ling. Instantly,‌ ‌Feng‌ ‌Xin's‌ ‌face‌ went ‌pale,‌ ‌worse‌ ‌than‌ ‌a‌ ‌ghost‌ ‌by‌ ‌a‌ ‌million‌ ‌fold. He ‌screamed as ‌the‌ ‌string‌ ‌of‌ ‌spiritual‌ ‌arrows ‌dissipated ‌powerlessly‌ ‌like‌ ‌my sword when it shattered.‌ ‌He‌ ‌opened‌ ‌his‌ ‌mouth‌ ‌and‌ ‌a‌ ‌long‌ ‌string‌ ‌of‌ ‌loud‌ ‌curses‌ ‌came‌ ‌out. I was mortified for him.
