Chapter 14 | Bloody Blade

"Please, Your Majesty! This slave wants to save His Highness and bring him back to the palace!" In the Xuantian Palace, Hong Qui and Ying Ran kneeled on the ground and anxiously begged.

"I said, no." Qi Xutian raised his hand, the golden black coloured sleeve cast a shadow as he waved his hand in dismissal. "Leave, you don't need to mention this matter."

Hong Qui's face was anxious and sorrowful, "Why? Why did Your Majesty let His Highness fall into the hands of Fenghua Palace's people?! This slave knows that the other party is asking for something, even if Your Majesty does not want to give it, you can send a shadow guard to go and rescue him!"

"As light blades, we are willing to bring His Highness back!" Ying Ran also knelt on the ground, although the expression on her face was calm, the resoluteness in her words made people know how much determination she had in her heart.

Qi Xutian felt that it was humorous and chuckled, "It seems that you are really very loyal to him, I really did not pick the wrong people."

"Your Majesty wanted us to serve Master well and now both Hong Qui and I regard His Royal Highness as our true Master. His Royal Highness is young and treats others kindly, but this slave knows that His Royal Highness is highly capable and will surely be involved in some things in the future. Even if His Highness is unwilling, people would be jealous of him and harm him; both of us are ready to follow him. We are ready to follow His Highness in the future, we beg Your Majesty!" Ying Ran looked directly at her original Master, the Emperor - who was in control of life and death, was fickle and unpredictable. At this time, he was smiling as he listened to their words. They didn't know what he was thinking.

Qi Xutian leaned back on the dragon chair and looked at the two people who were kneeling on the ground at a distance. "I am very satisfied. MingEr is really a cute child. He can make you both so loyal to him. In the past few years, you both took great care of him, worrying about him. As long as MingEr comes back this time, you will listen to him in the future and don’t have to report everything to me anymore."

"But this time..." Hong Qui and Ying Ran still wanted to go out to save the child. How could he, a young child, come back on his own?! How could His Majesty be so calm even though His Highness fell into the hands of others?!

Qi Xutian said with a smile, "You don't understand my words?" Displeasure was already revealed in his words.

Seeing this, Hong Qui couldn't help but shed tears in anxiety. "Why is Your Majesty so cruel? Your Majesty always showed so much affection and care towards His Highness, was all that fake?"

"You've said too much, do I still need your permission to make decisions?! It seems that you have been waiting on MingEr for too many years. I'll spare you this time, but if you don't leave, I won't be so lenient anymore." Qi Xutian frowned, his anger and grandeur made people fearful and also made both Hong Qui and Ying Ran pale. Of course, they knew that once His Majesty was really angry, in an instant, he could make them regret living in this world.

"This slave obeys." Both of them clenched their teeth and stood up to retreat in anxiety.

Watching the two go out, Qi Xutian walked towards the bookcase and stared at the night pearl embedded in the wall. While looking at the fluorescent pearl's faint light, he got lost in unknown thoughts.

Chief Liu opened the door and walked in, "Your Majesty, the shadow guards have returned."

In the silent Xuantian Palace, his voice rang in the air. The man who was standing next to the bookcase with his back to him still remained unmoved. He seemed to have fallen into his own thoughts and didn't seem to have heard him.
