Capítulo 23: Mo Lichen....

Lin Feng felt powerless and incompetent that he was not able to save his sister from that attack.

That is the thing he wants to know.

Meanwhile, Linxiao came to the ancestor hall with Liu Ying who was standing all time outside the courtyard waiting for her.

When she entered the hall she told Liu Ying to stand outside and then she came inside.

Linxiao was kneeling there and said, "forgive me, for taking someone's place but today I take an oath in front of all my ancestors that I will avenge all of them and make them regret what they did" Said Linxiao.

She did not show any difficulty from leaning in her face and stood still.

Linxiao kneels there the whole night while Liu Ying stood outside of hall whole night waiting for her, and one soul, Lin Feng who came to see Linxiao after hearing that she was kneeling there but he did not come inside or near ancestors hall, he watches standing Liu Ying from afar and knows that Linxiao was inside.

Lin Feng did not try to stop her because he knew that if she made up her mind one time then no one could stop her. so, if all his insisting and pleading to her will go in the vine in the end then why should he go interfere. Instead, he thinks that he should find the culprit behind this and the person who tries to kill her as soon as possible so he can protect her. After that, he left.

Meanwhile,

Someone else is also there who isn't able to get asleep. It felt like sleep never came to him.

Mo Lichen who was sleeping on the bed tried to close his eyes again but only saw a girl begging for help and shouting he could hear her voice whenever he tried to close his eyes.

However, not able to sleep, he stood from the bed and went toward a chamber that was inside his room, where his library was positioned. That chamber looks old and has many sections which are filled with different types of books. A smell of refreshing cool mint was filled inside which was coming from one section and mixed with the scents of old books. That makes the chamber refreshing and calms the mind of a person who is facing the misery of life.

However, it is not worked with Mo Lichen when he opens the door and came inside, his deep eyes wandering around the each section like he wants to ensure something and he went toward sections of different types of books one after another so that he could find a good book to read that would calm him or something. which one he was searching for but didn't find what he wanted. Then, he came outside from the library to the garden wearing a shawl on his shoulder which perfectly covered his upper body and a dagger that was hanging around his well-built waist.

When he walked around the garden that looked like a structure of God came to earth to show off, what is beauty and who is called a beauty….

Mo Lichen entered the garden, looked at the beauty of flowers and glanced above his head, towards the sky like his deep eyes were reading the twinkling stars in the heart of the sky.

However, there is nothing in his mind other than the sweet, feared or at the same time tempting voice that he heard a few days before. He felt that all the things in his mind were a mess, till the day when he heard that pleading cried voice of a girl.

Her voice is something different which makes him want to go towards her, a feeling that tells him and wants to help her.

That voice always came in his dreams like she was haunting him all night for not being able to help her. Whenever he tried to sleep, he only heard her voice because of her, he had spent many sleepless nights.

When Mo Lichen was thinking about his nightmare or what, suddenly he felt the presence of someone in the garden.

Mo Lichen's hand instinct went to his dagger which was hanging around his waistband and he saw a shadow coming towards him.

Mo Lichen heard the slow and subdued sound of footsteps, running breath and puff sound coming from the person who was behind the shadow.

Just when the person came towards him or that person could attack him, Mo Lichen grabbed the neck of the person and that man felt helpless, not able to breathe because of the hard squeeze of Mo Lichen hand.

Mo Lichen didn't lose his grip on prey, then suddenly heard a hoarse mouth preceding voice.".Ma...maas...Master, it is Me..,...cough!cough!".

Just when Mo Lichen heard his voice he frowned and immediately took his hands back from the neck of that man.

"Why did you come here like this?" Mo Lichen asked, staring at that man, he wanted to know why he came to him hidden like this and at this late night.

Otherside, condition of that man did not look right, he immediately put his hands on his neck and chest because he is not able to breathe, his young and handsome dammenor nowhere to be seen instead, his complexion turns to paler and his face looked red like all the blood in his body came upright to his face and his pupils widely starting to his master.

"Cough!...his..highness..I came here to give you information which we received…" said that man.

"I did not ask..this," said Mo Lichen in anger and glaring at the man.

He was angry because if he did not remove his hands-on time maybe he would die. He was disappointed with him and seeing his pale face and the red scars on his neck which occurred because of him.

Without caring for his condition the man bowed to Mo Lichen like a loyal man who never cared for himself when it came to his master.
