Ling Yiyao led Shi Rong into a nearby tea house to rest from the long journey. He sat close by her side with an expressionless gaze as Shi Yan took a seat on the opposite side along with Xiandi and Lin Shaoze.
Shi Yan fanned her delicate red little face while Xiandi poured her a cup of tea. He stared indifferently at Shi Rong and sneered, "Little girl must you attract negative attention everywhere you go? Do these good-for-nothing and selfish humans not know you're the imperial princess."
Shi Yan took a small sip of her tea and looked up with her soft delicate eyes.
"Elder sister was never shown publicly by father, only the eldest princesses and fourth sister are known."
Xiandi scoffed and sat down in his seat and shook his head disapprovingly. "It seems I have a troublesome master indeed with such a face you are bound to catch attention along with your cultivation talents but the fact you are the third imperial princess is bad enough, but at least that's the least of my troubles considering your status is hidden from the world. But I can't help but wonder if a savage beast like you with an equally savage demon by your side has a thirst for power and fame?"
Xiandi glanced at Shi Rong with a cold questioning gaze as she slowly sipped her tea.
"Bao Yi, I wonder if your trying to offend me or question me but be as it may your words are correct I plan on making my name for myself and becoming the most powerful being in the world."
Shi Rong swept her cold clear gaze towards Xiandi as she spoke, "at least to make it safe for my dear sister Shi Yan, but I fear it would be of much difficulty. Of course your allowed to help me obtain this dream and stand by my side as hopefully a dear friend or I can sever your contract and you go your own separate way for I have no intention of forcing you into anything, but..." Shi Rong glazed at Ling Yiyao before looking once more at Xiandi, "I have no promises on the actions Xiao Yao will take upon your decision to leave.
Xiandi's lip twitched as he stared at Shi Rong. "This damn girl is basically threatening me knowing that savage demon of a man would never let me leave!"
Xiandi fanned his hand as he picked up his tea, gulping down the whole cup before he stood up to leave. "I'll be going know to hunt for any information about the Heaven Sect. if my memory is correct they should be targeted by a very dangerous organization who wishes to take over, maybe we can be of service."
Shi Yan watched the man in dark green robes body slowly descend down the crowded street through the window before she turned her soft eyes towards Shi Rong.
"Dear sister should we really trust that vulgar kitten on your quest for greatness?"
Shi Rong stroked her chin elegantly as she gazed out the window. "Yan'er you have nothing to fear BaoYi is of no threat nor will he ever be for his mannerism is questionable indeed but I feel is loyalty is pure." She took a final sip of tea then looked at Shi Yan with a soft expression, "therefore I shall place him by your side as a personal guard until your powers grow stronger."
Ling Yiyao stared at the young girl with an unreadable expression leaving his thoughts unknown.
