When she wakes up Zhao Li Xin already left, Lory scratch her head and yawn widely, she awakes very early whenever Zhao Li Xin wasn't here and because of the heavy rain from last night the morning feel colder than usual, Lory touches her neck and realizes her necklace is not there, no wonder she feel freezing.

Lory put another layer on her robes then run towards the dresser then rummaged the jewel box, not long after she found the necklace in the shape bluebell flower clutter with other necklaces, this is the first gift Zhao Li Xin gave to her and also the reason how she survives from Lao Min Na crazy outburst, her mouth curved upward when she remembers how they met and the time they spend together since then, the truth is, Lory, couldn't remember how she lives in this world before she met Zhao Li Xin.

​​

She put the necklace in the box two days ago, Lory decide to depend on her own strength because soon or later she will fight with a cultivator, she can't depend on Zhao Li Xin protection all the time.

After she faces Lazarus again Lory confirmed that it is not only her who got weaken, so is Lazarus. that means both Lazarus and Lory is raced against each other to regain their power and she cannot lose since losing means death and not only her but everyone who is dear for her, so Lory used her past training to honed his strength, for starter she must have the ability to fight against cultivator.

Lory knows the difference between her and the cultivator, Lory body is much weaker than the cultivator who got their body automatically got stronger the higher their cultivation got.

However, from her past experience, Lory notices that cultivator depends solely on their Qi strength, most of them especially the young one like Yang Xi Ying was didn't have experience in a real battle and they never fight against the 'gifted' people like her before so she is confident she could take advantage of it, nonetheless, she still need to prepare because even the dull sword still able to hurt someone.

[What are you doing girl?] Girsha suddenly perches on the dresser while flapping his wings.

She put the necklace back on the box then slowly close the box ten she mutters [Just think about a plan….]

[Uh – oh] he response sarcastically.

Lory squints her eyes in upset [You not even heard about my plan yet!]

[I don't need to know your plan to feel worried, especially when you're not wearing the protective necklace from your man, you know someone is going to be pissed…] Girsha raised his brows knowingly who is that person must be.

Lory rolls her eyes and turns around without giving a reply, of course, she knows Zhao Li Xin would be furious if he knows about it, but she needs to hone her skill Lory was being lucky with her previous fight however soon or later she would meet a stronger and smarter enemy and if at that time Zhao Li Xin or Hei Shen bodyguard is not with her what should she do then, waiting to die? Not a chance!

Lory got out of her room and shout mildly "Mong Yi!"

Lory waiting for three seconds before Mong Yi suddenly jump from the three then land smoothly on the ground, he walks towards Lory then cupped his fist firmly "Your order, young madam!" she respectfully said.

"Morning Mong Yi, I'm gonna need your help" Lory smiles warmly.

"Morning madam, what do you need me to do, young madam?" he bows his head courteously as he waiting for Lory's order.

Lory make apologetic smiles "You might not gonna like it…."

"Huh?"

"I want you to have combat practice with me?" Lory presses her lips together nervously.

Mong Yi's face turn as white as sheet "Can I say 'No' young madam?"

Lory narrows her eyes, he reacted as she expected "What if I used Xin Xen token to give you order?" Lory grinned.

Mong Yi sigh heavily, anyone who had Xin Xen token has the same authority as the Hei Shen Lord, and deep down he knows Lory position at Hei Shen is higher than Zhao Li Xin, if Lory wanted she could take over the whole Hei Shen sect and Zhao Li Xin will support her nonetheless.

"Young Madam, am I going to die…." He helplessly asks if he scratches even a little of her his Lord would chop her like a pig.

Lory only answers him with a laugh.

At the golden swallow Inn, Zhao Li Xin is staying at one of the best room, his identity as a well off merchant allows him to stay in a good room although he did not rent the most luxurious room like he always does because with his merchant status he should not afford to stay in that kinda room.

Zhao Li Xin sits alone in his room, he drinks wine while looking at the window, his expression remains expressionless like he always does but his whole demeanor is gentler and less intimidating as he used to, obviously he has a great mood after he spends his time with his beloved. but then suddenly the door is knocked.

"Yes…" he answers lazily.

Mong Liu appears from behind the door, he closed the door carefully then he kneels on the floor, "Sanguan Jin Sheng and his companion are on the way to this place, Milord" he reported. 

Hei Shen sect has swarmed this city for two weeks before Zhao Li Xin, and his companion came to this city, their job is to assess the safety measurement around the city, they calculated all possible threat, and they work with the influential family like the Wu family to know what other things they need to wary.

It was a normal procedure for the Hei Shen sect to make a primary assessment before their Lord come, so when he came Zhao Li Xin would know how the situation around him.

"How many people came with him?" Zhao Li Xin raised from his chair, then change his black robes to light brown color robes, the green bamboo embroidery make the robes look elegant and vibrant, unfortunately, this robe is not suited his taste, however, he need to create Lu Xin character as rich, arrogant and slightly airhead rich young man so he must put up with it.

While Zhao Li Xin wear his not so compelling robes, Mong Liu report everything he knew to his over-demanding Lord "Sanguan Jin Sheng came with his right-hand man, his name is Chu Tao he served Sanguan Jin Sheng since he was thirteen so he knows about Qin Mu Yi and the Qin family, he is also the one who leads the massacred at the Qin family, Sanguan Jin Sheng trust him very much, Chu Tao is forty this year and he didn't have a wife but he has a long relationship with a courtesan name Su Mi Yi at the Red Magnolia brothel"

"A courtesan huh" Zhao Li Xin mutters while style half his hair into a knotted and secure it with a jade pin, it's the first time Mong Liu saw his Lord like a proper young man, the style does tone done some of his willful and wild demeanor.

"Our informant said Su Mi Yi never entertained other men in her bedroom since she was sponsored by Chu Tao," repeated Mong Liu again.

Zhao Li Xin smirk "The women seem important for him…but if he really cares he should get her out of there, oh well – maybe she not that important" Zhao Li Xin concludes.

However, there is another possibility, perhaps Chu Tao is not allowed by Sanguan Jin sheng to bring Su Mi Yi out of the brothel, no matter what she is a woman from a dirty place if Sanguan family right-hand man marry with a who*e it would implicated sanguan family reputation, then it would make sense why Chu Tao left her there all this time. But for Zhao Li Xin it's only confirmed how shallow Chu Tao's feeling is because if he is Chu Tao he would get his beloved out there even that means he will be abandoned by the Sanguan family.

"The other two men he brings is Sanguan Jin Sheng personal bodyguard, they choose personally and trained by Chu Tao, al of them is on heavenly King level and Chu tao himself is on Emperor level at the beginner stage, they are much stronger than normal bodyguard out there" Mong Liu explained.

Zhao Li Xin narrowed his eyes and Mong Liu immediately correct himself "Of course, they are nothing compare to us, Milord!" 

With an indifferent expression, he takes a sip of wine no one could guess what he is thinking. Mong Liu has served Zhao Li Xin for three to four years but he still can't understand his Lord's mind.

"is that it…?" Zhao Li Xin asks with a bored expression.

Mong Liu feel a bit hesitated but he says it anyway "Sanguan Wu Ci also coming with his father" Mong Liu look down in reflex, he was there when Sanguan Wu Ci send the young madam to the front gate of Ping Yi villa, as a man he could feel Sanguan Wu Ci have a weird look when he stares at the young madam, he not dare to assumption but he is certain his Lord would not like it.

One of the corners of Zhao Li Xin's mouth lifts slightly "Is he?" there something vicious flash in his eyes when he smiles.

Instantly Mong Liu feel the hair behind his neck raised "Yes, Milord"

Another knocking came from the outside "Milord, they are coming" another shadow guard alert them.

"Send them in," Zhao Li Xin says calmly.

"Yes, Milord!" answer the person outside the door.
