Xie Bai sat down observing Su Ying. She had been so quiet since they arrived back. The four of them were eating in Jiu Bao's room. It was unlike her not be quiet during dinner time.
"Su Ying, what's wrong with you? You have been quiet since we came back." Xie Bai said
"Nothing. I am just thinking about that ignorant man we met earlier" Su Ying said
"What arrogant man?" Jiu Bao asked
"When we were coming back, there was an odd man who was heading towards the Raven sect. He didn't look like a demon so we thought maybe he was going to rescue someone and offered our help but he refused" Huiqing said picking up some meat.
"Su Ying, what grudge do you have with him? Have you two met before?" Jiu Bao asked
"No. I have not met him before. I just think he is arrogant" Su Ying said
"Because he didn't accept your help?" Jiu Bao asked looking at Su Ying
"Su Ying is just in a bad mood and is throwing her tantrum. She does it so often. I don't know why you people put so much attention to it?" Huiqing asked scoffing.
Jiu Bao looked at all three of them. Heavens, help her. It will be hard to keep the peace between them in the future.
Meanwhile, Fengge finally arrived at the Raven sect. It wasn't like most people imagined. The sect was built on top of the mountain. Surrounding it was an ancient dark spell as a barrier. Outside, there were seats arranged for cultivation in the middle. Fengge looked up at the main hall. So many steps. He couldn't use his powers to fly because they would immediately find out he was from the heavenly realm. And his father said...
"Father, I am about to depart." Fengge had said wanting to bid his father one last goodbye before leaving
"Remember, you must not use dark arts. When you are there, do your best to find that flower and get it. I don't care what you do, you must not allow the mortal king to get it before you" The heavenly king said
"Yes father." Fengge said
His father had not even worried about his safety. Although this kind of thing was nothing hard for him, hearing his father worry for him just once wouldn't be bad. Suddenly a man appeared. His hair was decorated with gold raven decoration. Even his ear cuff was golden.
He had seen all the three lords of the dark realm. This certainly wasn't Lord Pain. Then why did he resemble him so much? It was as if he was Lord Pain's double. Just as he was about to speak, Fengge started praying in his heart. There was one question that would give him away. "Who are you?".
He was from the heavenly realm. Lying was a big abomination. If this unknown stranger asked him, he would no choice but to tell the truth or it would have bad consequence on his power.
"W..."
Fengge swallowed the little saliva in his throat while looking at him.
"What are you doing here? Why aren't you in your room?" The man asked.
"I was sent from the dark realm to assist you. I am Feng Yu." Fengge said in a rush.
How was he going to survive? He couldn't tell a single lie yet he had been sent to the Raven sect.
Suddenly his heart started burning. Groaning a little, Fengge struggled to bear the pain. He had started feeling the consequence of the lie he told.
" The dark lord sent you? Then I apologize. I am Tingzhe. First disciple of the Raven sect. We should go up immediately. Lord Chaos has to meet you" Tingzhe said
Facing the hall, Tingzhe used his dark powers to fly. Just as he was about to go, he saw Feng Yu still on the ground looking at him.
"What is it? Don't tell me you can't use your powers to fly" Tingzhe said
"Nonsense! Its just that I was ambushed on my way here and got injured. I can't use my powers" Fengge said
Landing down, Tingzhe walked to him feeling his pulse.
"You are badly injured. Come. I will show you your room first so you can recuperate. Tomorrow, you can meet Lord Chaos." Tingzhe said
Using his powers, Tingzhe was able to create a flying sword for him. Inhaling, Fengge clutched his chest in pain. The effect was getting stronger. With Tingzhe's help, Fengge was put into a room. Helping him sit down, Tingzhe sat down ready to transfer some power to him.
"What are you doing?" Fengge said stopping him.
"What do you mean? You are badly injured. I am going to transfer some cultivation to help you heal. I doubt you can still cultivate like this" Tingzhe said
"No. Don't worry. I will cultivate. Can you do me a favor and help me get some medicine?" Fengge said in pain while watching Tingzhe leave the room.
After Tingzhe was gone, Fengge say down summoning his inner energy to heal. Unlike dark powers, good powers took a longer time to heal. Just as the door opened, Fengge kept his powers away.
Removing his shirt, Fengge watched Tingzhe observe his back. His skin felt like being torn again. It must be the effect of lying. The old wound the weather god's whip gave him had appeared again.
"You fought with the weather god?" Tingzhe asked
"Weather god?" Fengge asked in shock.
"This wound.. It was caused by the weather god's whip" Tingzhe said
"Yes. The weather god gave me that injury" Fengge said not lying.
At this point, if he told a single lie, he would faint and his life would be in critical danger.
Pouring the medicine on his back, Tingzhe inhaled. Before Fengge could react, Tingzhe touched his acupuncture point making him stay still.
"What are you doing?" Fengge asked
"Your wound. Its too deep. Normal medicine wouldn't help." Tingzhe said summoning his powers.
"Don't! Don't do it. I can heal myself later" Fengge said
Ignoring him, Tingzhe transferred his powers to Fengge. The wound started closing up. Standing up, Tingzhe sighed and left leaving Fengge in despair. He's dark powers were growing more and more. If his father ever found out, he would definitely be deposed.
Smiling, Tingzhe dropped the medicine tray. Crown prince was adorable and a bad liar. What Fengge didn't know was that he had seen through his disguise. Plus he had seen Fengge when they had gone to greet the nature guardian. He had to protect that naive boy. If he continued lying, he could die.
The next day Fengge was finally on his way to see Lord Chaos. Sweat profusely, Fengge tried his best to hide his anxiousness. Tingzhe smiled instead trying not to laugh. This crown prince was really adorable.
Stopping in front of Lord Chaos's door, Tingzhe announced himself hoping his mother won't be busy.
"Enter" Lord Chaos said
Things had just been going bad in the sect lately. That stupid Bai Lian! Stupid goddess of virtue. She has not stopped spoiling all their plans. Plus that stupid mortal king had not yet found that immortal flower.
"Greetings Lord Chaos" Tingzhe and Fengge said bowing down.
"Whose this?" Lord Chaos asked looking at the unknown man that was with her son. Tingzhe had a habit of exploring new things. Was this one of his new explorations?
"This is the envoy from the dark realm, Feng Yu. The dark king sent him to help us in finding the Orane flower." Tingzhe said
"Really? Why didn't he send a letter to me?" Lord Chaos said
"Because....." Fengge started
"Because the dark king has been busy with the nature guardian. You know Jiayi is not doing well with her mother" Tingzhe said
"You are right. The nature guardian is too much. Personally, I never liked her. I don't know why elder brother (the dark king) actually married her. She's such a snob." Lord Chaos said
"Yes. That's why he didn't have time to contact you." Tingzhe said
Fengge just watched in silence. The three dark lords of the dark realm have always been scary. Lord Chaos was no exception. On her head was a big raven headpiece with its wings spread open to each side of her head. Her eyes were the color of blood. And her clothes looked like it has been made up of raven feathers. Although she looked dashing, she was also scary.
"Okay. Its a good thing you are here. Tingzhe and you can help the disciples in looking for that darned flower. I have not heard anything from the mortal king and I plan to go visit him. For a few days, I might not be here so be bad." Lord Chaos said to Tingzhe who rolled his eyes.
"Yes Lord Chaos. I will do my very best. You can trust me" Fengge said
"Okay. Now leave me alone. I want to be alone" Lord Chaos said.
Noticing Fengge was uncomfortable, Tingzhe dragged him out of the room. He must be suffering the after effect of meeting his mother. Each of the three lords had their own spectacular power. Lord Pain's pain powers were the best in the three realms while Lord Chao's powers could cause anyone's powers to be unable. No matter your level of cultivation. And Lord Sly, his brains were the most dangerous thing he had. He was able to do anything.
Oh this poor crown prince. He was extremely native. Seems like he was going to have to watch over him while he was here. Over time, he would be able to find out just what the crown prince of the heavenly realm was doing here.
