Zi Yi Ru also feel there's something wrong with the whole situation, she touch her chin lightly with her finger as her brows knitted closely then she lift her head abruptly "Wu Ci, what do you think Lu Xin condition is?"

Sanguan Wu Ci confuses but he answers nonetheless "He looks….fine, his cultivation is ordinary, I couldn't feel anything special from him" 

"That is the problem" Zi Yi Ru face scrunched up, she looks quite anxious "Your aunty said, she gave cold poison when Lu Xin is only a baby then he was given to some noble lady and make her promise to continue poisoned Lu Xin until he eleven years old"

"What poison?" he got curious.

"Thousand years snow moon," said Zi Yi Ru.

Is like a strike by lightning in the middle of the day Sanguan Wu Ci movement was stopped abruptly, he looks at his mother with bulging eyes "The cold poison, you give the baby a cold poison?" he feel a chill running to his spine, he knew how vicious the poison is, some say is better be killed than given the cold poison, it was an endless pained and agony for the whole life, the poisoned have no antidote, once the body absorbed the poison it becomes part of you just like blood, it's impossible to be cured.

If Lu Xin given the poison for ten years since he was a baby is impossible he still alive and well "Are you sure?"

"That what my elder sister said" Zi Yi Ru gives half-shrug "Is not me who asked my sister to give the cold poison, I just said to make that child suffer…." she said nonchalantly without a shred of regret.

"Do you think, Lu Xin is not Father's real son?" 

"I don't know….their appearance is quite similar," She is not sure.

"Why don't we ask aunty?" 

She looks down with a forlorn look "We can't, she was in close door training for two years it's gonna take another six months before she finished her training" 

Sanguan Wu Ci let out a long exhale as he curls his lips "So, waiting is all we can do…for now"

Leaving the scheming Son and mother, at another courtyard Zhao Li Xin sat on the lotus position on the arhat chair when Mong Ki with his usual black uniform appear before him, the loyal servant kneels on the floor when Zhao Li Xin slowly opens his eyes.

"Speak…" Zhao Li Xin said in a monotone voice as usual.

"Master Lu said a lot of high-level beasts disappear lately not only on one place but it happened all over the country" Mong Ki gives his report solemnly.

After the Lu clan disappeared lu Shin Jiu and Lu Jiang Yi his adopted grandfather take over the Lu territory for the sake to rebuilt the Lu family as they were. The Lu clan's main purposed was to live side by side with the beast they have inherited the power of 'the blessed child' which make the beast naturally drawn to them and it also make them more compassionated towards the beast.

After the previous Lu clan abused their power and hurt all the beast that they should protect, Shin Jiu left the underground palace after he finishes his basic training and taking care of the beast that stays at Lu territory with his grandfather. For years he had worked hard to cultivated his power and made the Lu clan territory become a safe haven for the beast.

"This situation alert a lot of people, during our investigation, we managed to find out that a mysterious group of people given a reward to anyone who can provide them with the high-level beast, the beast can be traded with pill, elixir or simply gold tael"

Zhao Li Xin lazy eyes flickered then he tilted his head "That…interesting"

"We also managed to follow this mysterious group into the cave but unfortunately when our people enter the cave no one is returned, we try to send more people the next day but the place already empty so our lead runs cold after that…"

Zhao Li Xin didn't show any expression other than a slight intrigue flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly their discussion is cut abruptly, they could feel someone coming. Mong Ki left the room swiftly without a sound. Zhao Li Xin then nullifies his array in one swoop soon the door opens without permission. Only one person who feel have the right to enter his room is none other than his respective 'Father' 

Sanguan Jin sheng enters the room, his eyes darted on Zhao Li Xin who laze around the couch, he didn't bother to stand to welcome his father, Sangun Jin sheng scoffed inwardly blaming Zhao Li Xin low education for being rude. This is the situation of the pot calling the kettle black, obviously, both of them are equally rude to each other in the sense they truly real father and son.

"You still awake?" he perfunctorily said.

Zhao Li Xin tilted his head and lament to himself 'What a useless question from a useless father'

Mong Liu enters the room nervously, not because he worries sanguan Jin sheng hurt his Lord in fact is the other way around. Zhao Li Xin has a peculiar mood, he is not easy to please and easily provoke.

Sanguan Jin Sheng has test Zhao Li Xin's limit numerous times thankfully the Lord today is much patient than before after he got married, however, the clueless sanguan Jin Sheng has tested his limit again.

He prepares two different ones for Zhao Li Xin and sanguan Jin Sheng, somehow he got an ominous feeling that his Lord needs a very strong liquor for whatever conversation that would follow.

"There something I want to ask" he take a seat on the chair across from Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin swallow his annoyance and leaned his back on the couch feeling tired already. Clueless with Zhao Li Xin obvious expression sanguan Jin sheng continue "You are not married are you?"

Zhao Li Xin raised her head "I…do not" he thought he bite his tongue when he lied. Zhao Li Xin couldn't let the sanguan family knew he already married, base on his experience they would hurt Lory to control him, how could he let that happened.

Sanguan Jin sheng face lit up like a lightbulb "Good, the reason I asked you about this because I want you to meet someone, she is a close friend of our family" he said joyously.

"Oh…" Zhao Li Xin smirked as the furry start to boiled inside him, he hates where this conversation going.

"Do you know about celestial immortal sect?"

"No…" he answers briefly.

Sanguan Jin Sheng nods his head "It's normal if you don't know, the celestial immortal sect is very mysterious but also very powerful. A lot of people try to make a connection with the sect including the imperial family and not only from Yunmo kingdom"

"Oh," Zhao Li Xin gives a bland response.

Sanguan Jin Sheng's expression darkens, this wretched son is so stupid he doesn't understand how great the Celestial immortal sect was. It was the strongest sect in a five continent, many people fear this ancient sect that's been around for hundreds of years. Sanguan Jin Sheng believes that even the Hei Shen sect could win against the Celestial Immortal Sect.

"Your stepmother is the second lady of the Celestial immortal sect leader granddaughter, but she refused to stay at the celestial immortal because she doesn't want to leave me, she is a very kind woman" Sanguan Jin sheng smile proudly which is ignored by Zhao Li Xin.

"Your stepmother has an older sister, she is the next leader of the celestial immortal sect and she has disciple name Xue Bai, she will visit the sanguan manor in next two days, and I want to introduce you to her.

She is a kind, gentle, and very beautiful young woman she might able to help you cultivated faster, what do you think?"

Zhao Li Xin swallows the whole wine in a cup in one gulp to control his emotion. Immediately the hit from the strong alcohol and the sudden bitterness that linger in his tongue calmed his heart down then he smiles calmly at his father "As you wish, father"

Sanguan Jin Sheng guffawed "Good – good, you will thank me after you meet her!" 

Sanguan Jin sheng is a shallow person moreover he is vain and petty. His idea is simple, he wants to use a woman to control Zhao Li Xin although he had no intention to marry a good woman like Xue Bai to his worthless son Lu Xin, once Lu Xin head over heels with Bai Xue he would be desperate to marry her but to marry with someone from great sect like celestial immortal he would need his help, at that time he would give his son a little help with a little price of course. 

Sanguan Jin Sheng leaves Zhao Li Xin's room in a bright mood. Zhao Li Xin gritted his teeth and the winecup broke by his hand. Mong Liu's legs grew limp, he feels the air around him become heavy as a mountain he falls on his knee. It's been a while since he saw Zhao Li Xin this angry, he forgot how scary Zhao Li Xin could be.

"Don't let my wife know about this" Zhao Li Xin warn Mong Liu sternly.

"Yes, milord!" Mong Liu answer quickly.

He doesn't want Lory to know about this matter, not because he thinks about cheating or anything but he doesn't want Lory to be upset and plead him to lead this go, he knows since a long time ago he could never win against Lory. She only needs to blink her beautiful gem-like eyes and he would consent to anything.

The map is very important it only needs one more step before he got the whole complete map then he can get the sword so he would have a better chance to save Lory from her fate.

Lazarus gathers his strength bit by bit and the stronger he gets the more Lory life in danger. Zhao Li Xin realizes despite all the smile and bubbly expression he shows every day, her life is on the edge. Lory lives her life every day like today is the last day.

It took a long time for Zhao Li Xin to understand her fear and sorrow. He determined to set her free, and he would do whatever it takes, even if that means he has to lie a little.
