The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 989 New Allies
Away from the hustle and bustle of Yu Jin city atop the green hills not far from the compound where the Heaven's Gate was located, a man standing alone, his tall muscular body standing straight like a pole the man was fixing his gaze over the wide-area complex where the Heaven's Gate sect was located, his expression was solemn and steady as he examines the transparent barrier that covers the entire complex like a transparent shell.
"Greetings Master Jiang"
Jiang Jin Wei looked over his shoulder and chuckled, "Do you suddenly become formal in front of me Mong Yi?" he was joking.
Mong Yi smiled and then walked toward Jiang Jin Wei he stopped beside him then Mong Yi also dart his gaze in the same direction as Jiang Jin Wei. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
"Is a strong barrier, I wonder who made this barrier before?" even from afar Mong Yi could feel the immense power coming from the barrier that protected the entire Heaven Gate Sect.
"That's because the barrier of the Heaven's Gate Sect was able to grow this strong, as long as they were within the barrier's protection no one would be able to harm them" Jiang Jin Wei muttered in annoyance that had this barrier not existed they would have attacked The Heaven's Gate Sect long ago.
Mong Yi understood Jiang Jin Wei's annoyance because he felt the same way, he stared in silence and then said "Although this barrier is very strong, I believe with milord current strength it is not impossible to destroy this barrier, unfortunately, it will alert the enemy" said Mong Yi.
Jiang Jin Wei stifled a chuckle "Since when did Milord have to worry to alert his enemy?" As long as he remembered no matter what situation they were in, Zhao Li Xin always looked at his enemies from above as if they were ants, only Wei Zhu Tian was the exception but Jiang Jin Wei believe soon Wei Zu Tian would face the same fate as Zhao Li Xin's other enemies.
Mong Yi glanced at Jiang Jin Wei "It's not Wei Zu Tian or Lao Min Na that he's worried about but the demon that resides in it" Mong Yi's voice became heavy.
A deep frown formed in Jiang Jin Wei's eyes, "It's still hard to understand what Young Madam is saying even though I've heard it from Bei Li Yan and the others many times but listening in person still makes me feel…."
"Overwhelmed..." Mong Yi interrupted.
Jiang Jin Wei's expression turned somber he actually didn't know how to describe his feelings, meanwhile, Mong Yi gave him a glance and then averted his gaze again "I understand how you feel, I actually feel the same way maybe everyone feels it like that at first after all of this is not something that can be easily digested in a short period of time, however…I have known Young Madam from the start and we also have watched her for a long time…" Mon Yi's voice deepened and his eyes filled with warmth.
"I've never asked this before, but why did both of you and Mong Ki accept Young Madam so easily at that time, if I remember that you and Mong Ki never let any woman get close to our Lord before, then what is so different with Young Madam?" Jiang Jin Wei made a questioning look.
"It's simple… because it was Milord who looked for Young Madam first" Mong Yi replied curtly, he then shrugged nonchalantly, "Whether out of love or curiosity, it's nice to see Young Master finally attracted with something other than spill blood"
"So it's 'the beauty saving the hero' situation, huh?" Jiang Jin Wei rubbed his chin.
Mong Yi heard and laughed "Perhaps that is the easiest way to describe it but….this is our Lord we are talking about" Mong Yi narrowed his eyes, "Do you think he is the type of guy who will move easily just because someone save him once or twice...you've probably forgotten what kind of man our Lord was?"
Jiang Jin Wei looked at him with a dry smile, of course, he knew what kind of man Zhao Li Xin was. Many men are cold but to most people, it is just to cover up their weaknesses however, Zhao Li Xin is different, the coldness comes from a lack of interest in anything and is sometimes like a guessing game between Wu San Bo and Bei Li Yan about who can incite Zhao Li Xin interest first.
Since then they sent all sorts of items to Zhao Li Xin from rare paintings, unique musical instruments, jewelry, strange trinkets, weapons, and even gather humans with rare talents but things like that only caught Zhao Li Xin's attention for not more than three days before he got bored again.
Mong Yi saw Jiang Jin Wei's embarrassed face he looked into the distance and then suddenly said: "I thought my master was a pitiful person, maybe this is a presumptuous thing to say for a lowly servant like me however, that's how I've always felt…" Mong Yi smiled wryly, "When I first met my Lord, I thought he was very pitiful because he was alone in the Imperial palace with no one to care if he lived or died, I pity him because even though he has a high status he is treated worse than a lowly servant, I also feel bad for him because he always in pain.." Suddenly the anger that he had suppressed for a long time began to surge within him.
Mong Yi closed his eyes and then took a deep breath to calm himself down before continuing, "But as my Lord grew older, he eventually became stronger, more powerful, and has wealth beyond our imagination to the point where he is able to overthrow the emperor's government and take over the kingdom any time he wants. I want to, but strangely she still looks pitiful in my eyes… for me, Milord is like a kite without a string, there was nothing that could hold him down...well, I guess he still has his pride to keep him going alas other than that Milord has nothing...nothing at all, as if he only exists without truly alive...and nothing I and my brother could do" Mong Yi face was set in a resigned sad line.
Jiang Jin Wei remembered the first time he met Zhao Li Xin he thought 'what a beautiful man' but then another thought followed 'What an empty eye' one look and he knew that this man must have gone through excruciating pain to become like that, Jiang Jin Wei was embarrassed to admit that at that time he felt comforted because he had just experienced a tragedy so seeing Zhao Li Xin made him felt not alone.
"That's why when Milord found Young Madam I was overjoyed, even if that woman turns out to have a bad personality, rude or greedy, I don't care as long as she can fill the hole in Milord's heart but unexpectedly Miss Loy is not only kind, cheerful and warm she also understands pain, loneliness and loss, more than most people, maybe that's why the two of them get along right away because they are both lonely and hurt deeply"
"But, because of Young Madam, Young Master may have to die, do you agree with that?" Jiang Jin Wei said with unwillingness in his eyes, Jiang Jin Wei strong loyalty made him hard to accept the possibility of losing his Lord.
Mong Yi crossed his arms in front of his chest and sighed heavily, "If you ask me, I would rather see Milord fight to the death for something he really loves than waste his life like before and dies at an old age without knowing what life is really like, I don't want to see Milord living such a life ever again..." 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
Jiang Jin Wei understood how Mong Yi felt because after he saw Zhao Li Xin now he also didn't want Zhao Li Xin to live like a dead man like before "I guess I have to agree with you." Jiang Jin Wei let out a resigned sigh, so what if Zhao Li Xin ends up dying we will all die eventually so why not die for something precious.
Mong Yi smirks then he adds, "And if worst comes to worst, I hope that the one who will survive is the young madam!"
Jiang Jin Wei's eyes immediately darkened, "Hey, you can't say that about our Lord, I know you like Young Madam more but you can't..."
"No, it is because I love Milord more so I hope that if there is a choice between who I wish to survive between Milord and Young Madam I will wish for Young Madam because for our Lord losing young Madam would be far worse than death...he could never take it," Mong Yi said with certainty.
Jiang Jin Wei couldn't argue because Mong Yi was right he couldn't imagine what Zhao Li Xin would do if he lost Lory, he was scared because he could only think of the worst.
Suddenly a messenger bird flew toward Mong Yi and then perch on his arms, Mong Yi took the small parchment from the bird's feet. Mong Yi then carefully read the message and one of his brows raised slightly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Jin Wei asks.
"A message from my older brother, it seems someone has read the sign" Mong Yi's lips curved into a sly smile.
"Who?" Jiang Jin Wei's brows furrow.
"Sword Saint Sect" Mong Yi grinned widely.
"Ooh…" Jiang Jin Wei's eyes lit up with interest.
