Zhao Li Xin rest his head on the bathtub then slowly closed his eyes, he heard Mong Yi's footsteps moving away, Zhao Li Xin took a deep breath, he inwardly compared his temperament today with one and a half years ago and he realized a significant difference. two years ago Zhao Li Xin wouldn't accept anyone sudden visits if it wasn't the matter lived or dead, Zhao Li Xin was too lazy and impatient to involved with other people, but after he met Lory he somehow became more tolerant and patient, maybe because he always wakes up with a great mood every day.

A few minutes later Zhao Li Xin came out of the bathroom, Mong Ki helped him dress as usual, and after thirty minutes he was finally ready to meet Mu Jan Ge. In the side hall, Mu Jan Ge had been waiting for Zhao Li Xin for almost an hour, normally people wouldn't let the elder wait for the youngster for this long but everyone knew Zhao Li Xin's antics so no one questioned his behavior, after all, it wasn't like they dared to do it, anyway. 

"Elder Mu" Zhao Li Xin greet with a slight nod.

"Lord Long Ming" he cupped his fist courteously.

"Have a seat," he gestured politely to invite Mu Jan Ge to sit across from him. Mong Ki then came, he brought a set of luxurious porcelain wine set then carefully place them on the table, Mong Ki slowly pours the wine for Zhao Li Xin and Mu Jan Ge.

Mu Jan Ge had never personally spoken to Zhao Li Xin before so he felt a little nervous under Zhao Li Xin's imposing aura, it was hard to believe that an elder like him would be pressured by a young man who was younger more than two decades than him. He thought someone like Zhao Li Xin was born to be a Ruler no matter where he was born.

After Mong Ki served the wine, he bowed his head respectfully and left the room quietly to give Zhao Li Xin and elder Mu privacy. When they were alone, the atmosphere around them suddenly became more intense, Mu Jan Ge's expression stiffened as he began to regret his decision. 

'Is it too late to go home now?'

"Elder Mu, is there anything important that you wish to convey to me?" Zhao Li Xin took her wine cup gracefully.

Mu Jan Ge's expression became a little awkward, "No, this isn't something important…. it's just ... It's about your master " 

"My former employer ?!" he corrected his words calmly. there was no anger or disappointment in Zhao Li Xin's expression just indifference.

Zhao Li Xin's self-control make him chill to the bones, "Yes, your former master ..." she nervously swallowed her saliva. At this time Mu Jan Ge has cursed his old friend hundreds of times in his head, he doesn't know why he agreed to Tian Meng Ji's request? even Li Mo Zhen would never put him in such a difficult position like this, and talking about Li Mo Zhen, he might not be satisfied with his decision. to intercede for Tian Meng Ji and Zhao Li Xin but he had no other choice because the shrewd old man would never leave him alone until he fulfilled his request.

Boredom was clearly visible on Zhao Li Xin's face, he didn't like complicated relationsh.i.p.s and Tian Meng Ji made everything complicated to him, even though Zhao Li Xin knew his former master sort of took care of him when he was a child and he owed Tian Meng Ji quite a lot but his dissatisfaction, suspicion, and prejudice towards Lory made Zhao Li Xin unable to accept Tian Meng Ji around him. People would say he was a cruel and ungrateful Basta*d but breaking his relationship with Tian Meng Ji was the best solution for both of them.

Nobody knows better about his own temperament more than himself he also knows Tian Meng Ji is temperament as well, the old man is very stubborn and he is adamant that Lory is not a good woman for him, it is not hard to imagine Tian meng Ji attitude would be rude to Lory, he might deliberately say something that would hurt her heart and Zhao Li Xin couldn't allow this to happen.

How could he tolerate Lory's sad face, there was no way he would let anyone hurt his beloved princess, It was not hard to imagine that one day he might accidentally kill his former master in a spur of the moment because of Lory matter, however, if he did that the person who would be engulfed with guilt will be Lory, Zhao Li Xin has long understood that Lory has a habit of blaming herself for all the bad things that happen around her whether it's really her fault or not. 

"I know you have a problem with mas .... Your former Master, but you have to understand that he did this because he cares about you, " Mu Jan Ge said with deep concern.

Zhao Li Xin lifted his wine cup, then he took a sip of the wine gracefully, Zhao Li Xin's calm demeanor made Mu Jan Ge feel uneasy, even he had expected it wouldn't be easy to persuade Zhao Li Xin but his indifferent attitude really left him speechless. 

He still hasn't changed his mind about Lory, right? Zhao Li Xin said as he put down the cup calmly.

Mu Jan Ge subconsciously averted his gaze from Zhao Li Xin's overbearing gaze, "That...ehm, no…No he did not" Mu Jan Ge didn't dare to lie or try to sugarcoat his words. 

Zhao Li Xin crossed his legs then leaned his back as he gives impassive looks at Tian Meng Ji "Then, we have nothing to say." he firmly said.

Mu Jan Ge sighed heavily, "Zhao Li Xin, I know your master can be stubborn and petty sometimes, but that doesn't mean he is a bad person, if only you gave him the opportunity to interact with your wife more, who knows what would happen. In the future, it is not impossible that he will be moved by your wife's sincerity, by then isn't this better for all of you? "he persuaded Zhao Li Xin back. 

Tian Meng Ji knew it was difficult to fix Zhao Li Xin and Tian Meng Ji's relationship in a short period of time but at least he wanted to help them repair their estranged relationship first before it got worse. 

"Then what would happened with my wife?" Zhao Li Xin's expression darkens "Should she accept my former master's demeaning words, his disrespectful attitude, do you want her to lower her head and accept the humiliation, for what? Because he is the elder because he was my master because I owed him once? No, that is my own problem, my own debt, I don't want your wife to demean herself for me, NEVER! " Zhao Li Xin slammed his wine cup on the table.

"My wife has been through hell and back, she is suffering more than anyone I know even more than myself, I can't change her past nor I could take away her pain, the only thing I can do is make sure he doesn't suffer even more in the future but there are still other people outside who say disgusting things about her, do you know if it's up to me I will torture and kill every single one of them but I didn't do it, not because I hesitated or scared people would think I'm crazy but because I know Lory wouldn't want that!" he tries to swallow his frustration.

Zhao Li Xin rarely showed his real feelings towards other people so his sudden outburst shocked Mu Jan Ge tremendously. Zhao Li Xin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slowly the hostility around him faded into indifference again, Zhao Li Xin calmly poured herself a cup of wine, in the quiet room only the sound of water pouring from the wine flask could faintly hear.

Zhao Li Xin then gracefully put down the wine flask then he lifted his wine cup, there was no trace of anger left on him as if it was only a dream, he looked at Mu Jan Ge and calmly said: "Trust me, Mister Mu, keeping my former Master away is the best thing I can do for both of us. "Zhao Li Xin took a sip of his wine.

Mu Jan Ge then understand why Zhao Li Xin pushed Tian Meng Ji away, he knew with Tian Meng Ji's anger he would cause trouble with Lory, even though Lory might swallow Tian Meng Ji's rude behavior but consider how Zhao Li Xin spoiled his wife all this time there's no way he would tolerate his own master treating his wife like that, and with Zhao Li Xin's temperament, it wasn't hard to guess what he would do to Tian Meng Ji when his anger flared.

So to make sure no one got hurt whether it was Lory, Tian Meng Ji, or himself, he made an extreme decision to cut ties with Tian Meng Ji even though it looked heartless but that was all he knew to keep the situation peaceful. Mu Jan Ge shook his head, Zhao Li Xin's kindness was hard to understand, no wonder so many people misunderstood him. he eventually understands why his gentle and upright disciple Li Mo Zhen wanted to befriend Zhao Li Xin. 

Mu Jan Ge shook his head, suddenly he felt very old "I understand, I will talk to your former employer later." Mu Jan Ge drank the whole cup of wine, after that he bid goodbye to Zhao Li Xin and left the Manor.

Zhao Li Xin didn't watch Tian Meng Ji left with a calm expression, he was nothing but a decisive man, once he make a decision no one couldn't change his mind except Lory. This was the last thing he could do for his old master, Tian Meng Ji didn't know that Zhao Li Xin didn't want their relationship to turn to the worst, for him as long as Tian Meng Ji didn't hurt Lory he could still treat Tian Meng Ji as one of the people he once respected even if they are no longer teachers and students, but if Tian Meng Ji hurt Lory then it would become the point with no return for both of them.

Even just a little, he wants to save the relationship he had with Tian Meng Ji. Zhao Li Xin could only hope that his old master will not cross his bottom line which is Lory.

Zhao Li Xin drinks the whole cup in one gulped. He raised from his seat then stride out of the door with a calm pace "How the preparation?"  he asks Mong Ki who opens the door for him.

"We all ready to sailed, Milord" Mong Ki replies while walking behind him.

Zhao Li Xin nod  slightly "We leaving in two hours"

"As you wish, Milord" he cupped his fist firmly.
