Today, Xie Liao Xuan looked contemplative. Though, he was already prepared in his combat clothes. His gaze was vacant, and that smile, completely absent from his lips. Let alone the spirit to win this battle, the spirit to live did not seem to exist at all on Xie Liao Xuan's face.
Lord Li Qian Long couldn't help but sigh, seeing such a sight of the Crown Prince. Even in his eyes, this atmosphere was not bright with the chirping of the heavenly birds, nor was it with the breeze that dropped the peach blossoms into the river. But what he saw, a black cloud with an unavoidable storm. The sound of thunder rumbled very loudly as if the terrible atmosphere wanted to melt the Crown Prince down.
"Crown Prince," Lord Li Qian Long finally approached. Xie Liao Xuan didn't move, and he was still in the same position as before and with the same gaze as before. Wouldn't this dampen His Majesty's morale in later battles? There is an ancient book that tells of a king about to go to war against his enemy. However, just before his battle, the King looked thoughtful. He was alone, without any sense of spirit. He looked up at the vast sky. I don't know what suffering he is carrying as if his mind can only cover misery.
Until the war came, he was still daydreaming and had no desire to win—the enemy who knows that easily gives misleading whispers. Until finally, the King was affected, then he died in vain at his enemy's hands, with only a knife stabbed into his chest.
Xie Liao Xuan only smiled bitterly in response to that, and then he looked at Lord Li Qian Long.
"Your Highness , may I say something to you?" he said again, but Xie Liao Xuan said nothing. "After this, there will be really tough times and times. Your struggle and rank as a Crown Prince of the pride of the sky will be truly tested here. No mercy, and no mercy. So I implore His Highness, if His Majesty can remain logical until the end. Do not be influenced by incitement, and anger. And always remember, if the eyes are not really the place to be able to see right or wrong. But, use your logic and your heart."
"Lord Li Qian Long, can you stop talking?" said Xie Liao Xuan in the end. Then he took a golden coloured sword on his left side and drew it from its place. "You are a God who rules and knows the destiny of all beings in this universe. So stop saying those things, because I know, you know even better what my destiny will be after this."
"Your Excellency-"
"But I just wanted to tell you, if this is true this is the end of my destiny, and I will either be crushed to ashes or die for several hundred years. I want to leave a message to you, Lord Li Qian Long. Take care of Anqier for me."
"Your Highness, the time has come for His Highness to leave. The Demon Lord had already begun to approach towards the gate of the heavenly palace. If His Majesty doesn't come soon, everything will be in vain," Li Zheng approached.
Lord Li Qian Long seemed to narrow his eyes, and then he glanced back at Xie Liao Xuan.
"Wait..." God Li Qiang Long said. "Li Zheng Xi, aren't you the adviser of His Highness and his most loyal right-hand man, then how come you are still in that beautiful dress of yours and not prepared to take part in this battle?"
Li Zheng seemed to be smiling, half looking down. He flicked the hem of his clothes, and then he walked closer to Lord Li Qian Long with a sharp look.
"I am very sorry, Lord Li Qian Long. However, the King forbade me to help His Highness with this fight. In fact, I had to receive a lash from His Majesty for being deemed incompetent to look after His Majesty until His Majesty found out about the presence of Anqier in His Majesty's life."
God Li Qian Long's hands clenched tightly, and then he glanced at Xie Liao Xuan, who had already left while patting the shoulder of his advisor. Then, the two of them looked at each other with a kind of look that was hard to decipher.
Until it was time for Lord Li Qiang Long to fly, he stopped right in front of Xie Liao Xuan, who was just about to open the gates of the sky kingdom.
"Xie Liao Xuan…," Lord Li Qian Long called without mentioning Xie Liao Xuan's rank. And it seemed that Xie Liao Xuan knew if Lord Li Qian Long had said that, there must be something wrong. Although he wasn't sure what it was either. Or indeed, if he will be completely eradicated and unable to return to the kingdom of heaven. Given who said the news, the reason the Demon Lord dared to attack the sky kingdom was that he already had a single weapon that would crush the sky clan into ashes. So the sky clansmen who died in war could not come back to life—because of that weapon, severing the eternal life of the inhabitants of the sky.
