CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

550 A Scheme

The White Cloud Clan collapsed. Some of the main buildings were severely damaged by the attack of the Black Water clan and the beasts that came with it. Sang Guan Yi Lu and the clan elders gathered in Chief Sang Guan’s living room to discuss the problems that occurred. Including among them Elder Yi to elder Ou Yang Lu from the Medicine Valley clan. General Po joined in the discussion.

General Po stroked his chin.

“I have ordered my men to cover the area below the White Cloud hill and its surroundings, even up to Xian Yang, to make sure that the creature no longer roams around to injure the citizens. I don’t know where he came from, this Lao old man is known to have a great ability to create such a creature. He used to be the one who helped Prince Wu Yi rebel to resurrect the Wah Ye Palace by all means” said the old General.

Elder Yi nodded.

“That’s true, I heard from Mr Shin Ya that some important elders from the Black Water clan did manage to escape before they were all captured by the Xin Hua palace. That Old man Lao was assumed to be dead when he escaped and fell from a cliff while being chased by palace guards. But I didn’t expect that he could rise up and make such a big scheme”

Sang Guan Yi Lu stroked his chin, thinking hard.

“Hemm, but, this clan is tiny, it takes a long time for them to rise up and dare to attack the other party this carelessly, is it possible that there is a big person to help them from behind?”

The clan leader’s speech made Elder Yi and General Po turn their heads. Soon the Crown Prince and Bei Yau appeared from the door. Immediately Sang Guan Yi Lu and General Po lowered their heads to greet the young man who walked in gracefully. The two hands he folded behind his waist. Luo Xiang stopped his steps to look at the elders for a moment before continuing to walk to the chair in the centre seat that had been prepared for him.

“Your Highness, please,” said Bei Yau.

.....

Luo Xiang threw off the back of his clothes and sat in his chair. Immediately everyone in the room sat down after him.

“Bei Yau’s men found the trail from where the clansmen came in. According to Yo Tang, elder Ou’s disciple, a few days ago there was an attack on one of the clan members and your invitation card also disappeared. These guys know what they’re doing, and it’s all pretty well planned. General Po, you know better than anyone where those people will appear before today, I suspect their movement will not stop just like that. There will still be other unexpected attacks and we all have to prepare for any condition,” said the Crown Prince.

General Po nodded.

“Ready Your Highness, I have placed some men at every city and valley entry point. There is a possibility that not all of the clan members have come, Your Majesty is right, we all have to keep our eyes wide open”

The Crown Prince turned to Sang Guan Yi Lu and the other elders.

“Chief Sang Guan, what do you think the purpose of this attack for? Is there is a possibility that the black clan wants to seize the highest position in the Martial arts world? We would like to know what you think about this, old man, we don’t really understand the rules in the world of martial arts, especially the competition this time, is there maybe another purpose in it?” he asked.

Sang Guan Yi Lu lowered his head. He stroked his beard thinking.

“That is, it is very unlikely that the clan that killed all the other clan members will be accepted as the winner of the annual competition. But this is a common occurrence in the world of martial arts, Your Majesty when the strong will win and the weak will be pushed back. I never guessed before that there was any clan even the dark one would attack openly like this if there was no strong enough reason. I thought, the annual competition, maybe it wasn’t the main purpose of those people to attack”

Hearing that, Luo Xiang clenched his fists tightly.

“So, does that mean there is another motive behind the attack? What, maybe old man Lao really just wanted to finish off Bai Ying with this attack? But, that would be very stupid, what was he thinking? If he thought there is a possibility that he can win?”

Elder Yi nodded.

“Your Highness, I am suspicious, yesterday’s attack should have been just an opening, old man Lao may have received someone else’s order to open the attack with those creatures, then he tried to injure the Young King. The attack may actually be to mess up the martial world by making it look like the Young King was killed in the attack so this would cause even more chaos. With Wah Ye’s strength, of course, the young Kingdom will not remain silent if their King is killed here, all this planning is just the beginning of a much bigger problem”

Luo Xiang nodded.

“Hopefully that’s just an assumption Elder Yi, if that’s the case, who will benefit from this? Poison Valley Clan? Or, the Black Water clan who becomes the loser? Some parties take advantage of the chaotic conditions in the world of martial arts for a greater purpose, but for what?”

Meanwhile, in the garden in the bungalow area for guests.

That morning the very clear and warm air was used by Bai Ying and Chen Ming to enjoy the beauty of the back garden of the White Cloud clan. Although several students of the White Cloud clan were seen walking back and forth in the garden area, they still did not disturb the two, accompanied by Xiao Hong and Bi enjoying the calmness of the air there.

“Wow sister, look at the butterflies, some of them are white, very beautiful” exclaimed Bai Ying.

“Yes Your Majesty, they are all so pretty,” said Bi who always glueing with Bai Ying where ever he walks.

The young man lowered his body to squat in front of a group of flowers where several butterflies were seen coming and flying around him. He didn’t seem affected by what had happened the day before and remained an innocent Bai Ying. Of course, he wakes up with a vague memory of what happened. He even forgot to destroy so many terrifying beasts with his terrible energy.

While Chen Ming sat on the chair looking at his brother who was like a heat worm, back and forth.

“Brother you just woke up, it is better to just sit here, come here sit with me,” said Chen Ming.

Bai Ying smiled endlessly. His glowing eyes disappeared behind his beautiful smile like the bright sun.

“Brother is not cool, why do I have to sit and do nothing there, I feel fine. Oh, yah brother” Bai Ying raised his head to see Chen Ming.

“How did you know I was here? Did you ask the palace people?” exclaimed Bai Ying.

Chen Ming pursed his lips, looking at his brother with narrowed eyes.

“Did you forget that I have a tracking coin, even if you go to the end of the world, I will definitely be able to find you, it’s very easy”

Bai Ying nodded. He closed his mouth.

“Emm, yes, why did I forget that? Then, how can you come with brother Lo Yi? Did you meet him on the way?”

Chen Ming just looked at Bai Ying for a moment then lifted the teacup on the table beside him. Blow the hot steam a little before drinking it.

“We met on the street. Lord Lo Yi looked confused, earlier I saw that he and his friends were being surrounded by people dressed in black who seemed to attack him and his clan. They were surrounded from all directions. And because we know him so I and Xiao Hong got to help him. We thought the people dressed in black were mountain bandits, but they turned out to be people from the Black Water Clan. Finally, we got information from one of the captured men that their colleagues had moved to White Cloud College to carry out an attack. And coincidentally, I felt your presence there, because our direction is the same why not just walk together”

Chen Ming wanted to raise the cup to touch his lips, but he moaned because the still too hot tea touched his lips.

“Akh”

In a flash, Xiao Hong who was not far from him approached and grabbed Chen Ming’s hand, lowering his head to see Chen Ming’s face checking on him from a very close distance. Too close.

“Your Highness, are you alright?”

So close that Chen Ming was stunned. The young bird has been too wary of him lately, the slightest movement has brought him closer from afar, and he has become accustomed to his behaviour during the journey. With Xiao Hong by his side, his never going to be afraid of all the bad things that could happen. The mystical bird always protects him, from anything.
