The temple is quite and peaceful adoring the pretty moon dancing with the starry skies, the pavilion is left cold and eerie since the people inside is not around why?
of course because their young prince is not around at all? where did he go? he ascaped
the door banged open followed by Shao Qi with a dangerous serious face while pulling Jin's ears
"ouch ouch ouch!!! shūshu I'm sorry I'll never go out again I promise Ahhh!!!" Jin was dragged on the floor kneeling infront of Shao Qi who is about to bite
"explain!" Shao Qi gave an eyebrow and cross his leg
"I-I"
"you!!!" Shao Qi glared
"where did you go!!!"
"Uhh-"
"what Uhh- answer my question!!" Shao Qi slammed his hands on the table, making Jin flinch, Master long who was sleeping came out with a lazy eyes looking for a water
"oh dear you two!! it's midnight everyone is sleeping!!!"
"Master Long-" Jin looked at him and asked for help but he just scratched his ass and left to the kitchen
"Jin'er!!!"
"I went to the hillside and do Taichi!!!" Jin cried hoping not to get any punishment
"Hillside, I have ears at that place and some beast said your not there, your making Ying and Yue's life hard you son of a mud!!!" Shao Qi glared talking about the twin dogs who always follow Jin
"but I really went there-" he cried again and mumbled
"that mouse is so lousy he did not keep it a secret!!!"
"Shènme!!!"
"ah nothing shūshu!!!"
Jin look so handsome as he grows up, his short hair is all over his head standing in salute, his pretty brown eyes are matched with his long lashes and lips are peach and beautiful, he had a muscular figure and is tall like every woman wanted, he wore thin clothes for he is always feeling hot, this is because of the energy in his body that is trapped to create a power so he keep himself cooled down, he mostly wear white and look like a saint royal looking prince but immature in behavior
"then where did you go!" Jin finally sigh and gave up he knew Shao Qi will never let this pass and torture him if he will not tell the truth
"I went-"
"to the market!!!" Shao Qi was about to blow up and pulled a stick to kill him so Jin ran away outside
"ah, shūshu- it's my mistake I'm sorry forgive me please!!!!" it's still midnight and yet people are already awake to read or have some tea, if you are one of them just sigh and forgive Jin and Shao Qi, it's always been like this ever since Jin's eyes turned to a normal brown eyes but time to time if he has a strong Aura his eyes will turn gold, mostly if it is full moon
Jin was asking for forgiveness but a stone dropped beneath his forehead as if heaven is the one who punished him instead
"ouuuccchhhh!!!" Jin cried holding his forehead
Shao Qi looked at the Stone knowing there is something inside, it was some kind of message that the bird dropped right at Jin's forehead
"is it raining stone!!!"
"Shut up- go back inside with me!!!" Shao Qi picked up the stone and dragged Jin back inside
after he scold Jin he made sure he was locked up inside his room guarded by the monks and not the twin dogs, Jin and the twins are already best friends so it's easy for Jin to sneak out, he would often ride the twins and go hunt at the forest
"if he tries to get out again I'll have him swim in ice!!!" Shao Qi commanded the monks
Jin is a sneaky person, he did not only sneaked out when he was 15 but when his eyes turned to normal when he was 20 he always go out and play outside the market, there is also a time that Jin was confronted by rebels they gave him poison and kept him locked up where criminals are kept, Jin absorbed the sins and bad traits of the criminals so the flames of energy gathered around his body and it turned him to a beast killing everyone inside, if Shao Qi did not find him in time it will be worser, after he became a beast Jin thought he will never have a normal eyes again but after a few days it returned to brown, he was even more guilty after he knew what he had done that's why Shao Qi and Master Long is cautious that's why they made him a bead that keeps sin energy around him to keep him from turning into a demon
Shao Qi locked the door and cracked open the stone, inside there is a message and royal seal from the emperor saying a royal messenger will come give a marriage certificate for Jin to sign and marry the princess of Ju state, Shao Qi was gloomy and wanna blow up so he summoned his servants to prepare his horse
at night he drove away towards Fei Xu's mansion and discuss such news from the emperor
a few days ago, the emperor asked a painter to come and paint Jin's portrait, they also asked permission to Shao Qi to pass through the beast forest, luckily Shao Qi is in good mood and let the painter in
Jin was away at that time escaping the temple to play and go on adventure, Master Long and Shao Qi had a better idea and let's the painter paint the young deceased monk Guan, it's to mock and dissapoint his highness, but Shao Qi was not prepared for Jin's marriage or any plan so he drove away with tiger face almost scaring the beast in the forest himself
Jin made a face and opened the window, he wanted to sneak out but the monk stared at him with mad eyes
"Haha, I wanted fresh air!!!" he said and closed them back
"this is so boring!!" says Jin and dropped himself in his bed, he was deep thinking where could his fan be, is the girl keeping it safe, he never told his father about loosing the fan, he even made duplicate but it's not the original
"Han Yunxi?" he spoke and got up, Jin looked at the mirror and examined his face
"Looking normal-" he said getting fascinated with his eyes but as the air change his eyes changed to gold, so he meditated to release some power in his body and return his brown eyes back
Shao Qi arrived at the mansion of Fei Xu 4 in the morning, he had the letter in his hand and distress all over his face
"mister, you cannot get in this is-"
"prince Fei Xu's mansion, I know him let me in!!" Shao Qi glared but the soldiers were Cautious
"it's alright let him in-" Finally Feng spoke not far away from the gate and let Shao Qi inside to meet Fei Xu
"Fei Xu!!!" he yelled stomping towards the study where Xu is doing some paperwork
"Shao Qi- what brings you here?" he got up and prepared him some tea but Shao Qi's face was tiger so he sat down seriously, Shao Qi threw the royal letter so Fei Xu could read them
"what's the meaning of this! do you know?" Shao Qi roared
"it was not my plan it was my brother, he wants to marry Jin off to another country to mock them!!!" he frowned
"that peice of shit!!" Shao Qi gritted his teeth
"definitely- he wants to use my son to mock the Ju empire, that state is one of the high four and the royal family is fairies of full blood healers and they have an army of a thousand not easy to underestimate!!- one thing more thing!? you gave the wrong face to the emperor?" Fei Xu looked at Shao Qi with a blank face not knowing if he will get mad or keep up with Shao Qi's idea of not letting the emperor know what Jin really look like
"ha! you think I'll let that low pheasant emperor see what my Jin look like!!!" says Shao Qi rolling his eyes while pulling a tea to drink his stress out
"so is the marriage gonna happen?"
"Yes!" Shao Qi glared at Xu while gulping his tea
"you can't let Jin get involved in politics do you?"
"of course I don't want to-"
"then why?"
Fei Xu heaved a sigh and let his mind flow at ease
"Jin is already 22-" Xu started
"Xu'er, you Jin and I are different from this mortals!!" he exclaimed
"I'm already old! I'm 42"
"no your not!!!" Shao Qi glared his eyes
"your like me, we're immortals!!" Fei Xu just heaved a sigh and continue speaking
"My real plan is to have an allied kingdom to take down Zhu Empire!!!" Shao Qi had a wide eye and gestured at him
"I promised Jin to take the throne and he wanted me or him to rule the kingdom!!" says Xu
"what's gotten into you Fei Xu you are a father of Catastrophe you have the same strength of Jin-" Shao Qi said
"I'm getting weaker Shao Qi- yes I am immortal but my strength and power is not the same as before!!!" Jin explained, Shao Qi frowned and spoke
"so what's your plan?"
"Zhu state is like a devil's Den, a few years ago I investigated the emperor's death and found something strange, I let my spies roam around the castle and found that the new emperor is always with two people who look alike and I sensed that those two are not ordinary people, and since then I felt eyes on me so I am cautious-" says Fei Xu
"two people who look alike?" Shao Qi made a face before deep thinking
"yes, when I was at the throne room, his subordinate Bohai is really diffirent than before, he was always scared and serious about everything before but the one who stand by Lin's side is so different now, the Bohai is taller paler and feirce looking, one thing strange is that Lin has a pet Snake although he is scared at that types he managed to have snakes roaming around his pet cage!!" Fei Xu explained, Shao Qi heaved some air and smelled something bad
"Fei Xu- I told you before that the empire rulers is dealing with the devil?" Shao Qi said
"yes-"
"this must be the start and I have the feeling that Lin is behind your father's death!"
"yes, You are right Shao Qi! my father's tomb is empty!!!" Shao Qi looked at Xu surprised
"what do you mean?"
"I investigated my father and sneaked inside the tomb and found it empty? I believed that it was my father lying inside that tomb, but after an felt uncomfortable I investigate it again a few years later and found the body an illusion- it was empty Shao Qi!!!" Fei Xu said
"like I though Fei Xu this is the start- we need to investigate further, coming here at the capital I sensed something familiar!!" Shao Qi drank the cold tea in his hand and made a face
"Fei Xu, when I take Jin back here I'll help you seek answers but we need to keep Jin away from danger? he is strong but his weakness is when his sword is far away from him, and sins of the people he absorb can make him a demon, I need to pray for answers so the scroll will help me on how to control Jin's demon self!!" Shao Qi explained
"yes! I'll keep that in mind, but before you come here do teach Jin to have the proper etiquette to be a prince, facing his cousins might also be a den of lions!!" Fei Xu bowed and gave him a book of royal discipline, Shao Qi lifted his brow and walked towards the book
"Jin will be married in a few days and still he is not properly matured, Fei Xu, we are immortal we mature slow!!!" Shao Qi grabbed the book and stormed away
