Capítulo 61: The Fourth Prince & Evernight Lord
Li Ming was sipping her tea silently as she looked at the two men who were still busy in glaring at each other.
The tension between these two was clear as day and the cold environment inside the camp was making her dizzy.
She and Ruoshan had accompanied Zhang Yong to his Royal camp which had been set inside a large cave. The cave had at least a dozen room and the one in which they were sitting at the moment was no less than a royal suite. Li Ming was actually amazed to say the least.
Everything was going according to Li Ming's plan, well if you can call it a plan in the first place!
She was still not sure about what Zhang Yong was doing in the Thundering Peaks. But one thing was clear that the disciples from Guixian Land, Zhang Yong and the Moonstone, all of them were related in some manner.
She tried to get some information out of Ruoshan but to no vain. That man enjoyed each and every moment of torturing her!
"What do you think is going on between these two?" Li Ming asked Snowy through their bond.
"I'm not sure. But if I have to guess, then these two are probably lovers who are meeting after many years but then there's you!" Snowy replied as he also looked at the two men who were trying to kill each other with their glares.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Ming asked as she stared at her tea cup in confusion. It was like she was expecting the tea cup to answer her question.
"Don't act like a stupid! Isn't it simple? The Fourth Prince already kinda like you and today he saw you with his old lover. Of course, there will be tension between the two!" Snowy explained with patience.
Li Ming first looked at Ruoshan and then at Zhang Yong. She thought about what Snowy had said but just the image of these two as lovers made Li to shook her head instantly.
"No way! Your imagination is really something! These two can't be lovers, right?"
Snowy heard his Master's words and shook his head as he said while sighing, "Whatever makes you sleep well tonight!"
Li Ming sent a silent message to Snowy which was probably some kind of threat, because the little fluff ball shut up immediately.
She moved her hand up and down, between the two men, trying to finally break their staring contest.
"What the two of you are trying to do?"
Zhang Yong was the first one to take a break. He looked at Li Ming who was sitting there with folded hands, giving both of them a disapproving glare.
"You never told me that you have a bodyguard. If you have told me before, I could have assigned someone more professional!" The Fourth Prince said as he started fanning himself with his Royal fan. (This name was given to the fan by Li Ming)
Li Ming noticed a dark look in Ruoshan's eyes which disappeared in a few seconds.
She looked at Zhang Yong and smiled as she replied, "Your Highness, I don't remember meeting you after I returned to the Imperial City from the Thundering Peaks. I met Ruoshan here coincidentally. And I think he's good in his job."
The last part was actually a truth. From the time he was assigned with the task of her protector, even though it was only for show, he never failed her. Moreover, she didn't need much protection for the time being.
"Yeah! I can see that!" Zhang Yong replied with a smirk as he looked at Ruoshan with venom in his eyes.
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry. I know how to take care of her." Ruoshan said as he looked at Li Ming and gave her a reassuring smile.
Li Ming rolled her eyes at the two men and stood up from her seat as she moved to look at the interior of the cave.
"I heard that you returned back to the Imperial City, then what made you to visit here again?" Zhang Yong asked as he again gave Ruoshan a hard glare.
"Just needed some more herbs. What about you?" Li Ming answered before asking the question that was making her stomach cramp due to curiosity.
But all this time, there was no change in her expressions as she continued to pretend to be busy in observing the room.
"Nothing important. Just a small matter! It's already past midnight, why don't you take a rest." Zhang Yong changed the topic with ease or at least that's what he thought.
"Yeah, sure! Ruoshan, let's go." Li Ming said as she put the incense burner back on the table.
"He's staying here...with me!" Zhang Yong hurriedly said. When he saw Li Ming raising her eyebrows in confusion, he continued "I want to talk to him for a moment. The guard will show you to your room."
Li Ming shrugged at his reply. "Alright!"
But just as Zhang Yong was thinking that she was about to leave, what happened next left him both speechless and fuming in anger. He wanted to kill that Evernight Lord right at the spot.
Li Ming moved towards Ruoshan and before he could react, hugged him. She softly whispered in his ear so that Zhang won't hear them.
"Make sure to keep him engaged till the sunrise. I'll take care of the rest."
She moved back a little and smiled softly as she patted his cheek softly and said in a loud voice, "Don't stay awake the whole night, Alright!"
She didn't give him a chance to reply as she gave Zhang Yong a soft smile and a good night wish before leaving the room.
Ruoshan looked at the little figure as he felt the burning glare coming from the Fourth Prince.
He was not sure whether to praise her for her plan or to cry because now he needed to deal with a jealous Shadow Lord.
Talk about meeting his brother after a long time!
