Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 - Master, I'm Sorry

The interior of Phoenix Suite was very big and beautiful.

It was completely decorated with beautiful silk, flowers, different illusion of fairies dancing around the ceilings, a beautiful waterplay forming different shapes from time to time in the front, and on the floor laid a wide beautiful red rug with flower patterns on it.

There was a wide table made of pure gold in the middle of the room that has different sorts of medicinal fruit placed inside a jade plate on it, and in front of this table sat a beautiful chair with two beautiful engravings of Phoenix on top of its two armrests.

Just some 15 feet away from this seat and table sat a small bed on the red rug, covered with a red quilt.

On this bed laid a white jade Guqin that was emitting chilling air.

Three people were currently in this room, one man and two women.

The only man in this room, a handsome man that resembles an immortal was currently standing elegantly with his arms folded behind him, and a little bit behind him stood a woman who has an expressionless face mask on completely covering her face.

The second woman whose face was covered from the nose downward, and resembled a goddess was currently knelt before this man, with a respectful look in her eyes as she gazed at him.

"Stand up," Li Yu commanded expressionlessly.

All the embarrassment and playboy expression Li Yu was portraying earlier had completely disappeared at this moment.

"Thank You master," Proprietress Tian, the goddess in the heart of every male in the Xuan empire replied respectfully and stood up while giving Little Liu a little nod.

Little Liu also nodded back slightly.

Li Yu looked around the room that was still the same as in his memory…. Well, in the memory that now belonged to him expressionlessly.

He walked slowly and sat elegantly on the only chair in the room, then he placed his two legs on the table made of pure gold and rested his back on the backrest of the table.

He picked up a little pink fruit and took a bit.

"Tian, Little Liu, aren't you two curious about why I acted the way I did earlier," Li Yu asked after he had chewed and swallowed the fruit he bit.

"Of course master, I'm curious," Little Liu answered as a matter of fact before taking off the mask that had been making her feel uncomfortable while proprietress Tian only nodded a bit.

Li Yu looked at the two equally beautiful but contrasting women, then bit onto the fruit in his hand again.

"Tian, it seems there is someone amongst your staff that wants me dead," Li Yu continued dismissively.

"Hun?!"

Both Little Liu and Proprietress Tian both sounded shocked at the same time.

They couldn't help but give Li Yu an oblivious look.

Not looking at the two at all, Li Yu was only focused on eating the fruit with the tiny winy energy in it.

He waved the two to the little bed in the room, as if telling them to go seat themselves down.

The two who were feeling an urgent need to understand what Li Yu was saying hurriedly walked to the bed and sat down.

"The poison that almost killed me some days ago was given to me by someone from here," Li Yu sounded nonchalant as if he was talking about someone else's life.

The two women that were just seated suddenly jumped up when they heard Li Yu's words.

"Ma- master, are you mistaken, how could that be?! Although none of the staff knows who you are, I'm sure they would never dare to try something like that." Proprietress Tian's voice sounded awkward and urgent at this time.

Li Yu who had raised his hand to pick another fruit suddenly pulsed a bit when he heard that, he couldn't help but raise his expressionless gaze to look at proprietress Tian.

"Are you saying I'm lying?!"

"ha!!! No! No boss, I wouldn't dare."

"Okay, great," Li Yu replied dismissively.

Little Liu's little mouth and beautiful eyes were already wide open at this moment due to the shock of what her master just said.

"Tian," Li Yu called quietly.

"Yes, master…"

"I don't know what made you trust your staffs this much, but I can certainly tell you that in this world, everybody would betray once they are paid the price they needed, which could be anything," Li Yu couldn't help but look into the space as he recalled how his so-called best friends had betrayed him in the past due to something he does not even know exist.

Head bowed, Proprietress Tian replied quietly with her beautiful voice that sounded like songs of angels.

"I hear master's teaching him."

Li Yu looked at this stubborn servant of his and couldn't help but shake his head in frustration.

"Do you want to know why I concluded that I had been poisoned here?"

This is exactly what Little Liu and Proprietress Tian had been waiting for all along.

"Yes master," they both replied in unison.

"Little Tian," Li Yu suddenly turned his attention to Little Tian who was busy looking at his face unblinkingly, while also seeming to be... sulking

'Sulking??

Maybe I'm seeing wrongly.'

"Apart from consuming the things you prepared, and of this place, have I ever eaten or drank from another place before?"

"Hun?!"

As if finally understanding Li Yu, Little Tian suddenly turned to face proprietress Tian that was standing beside her with killing intents that were not hidden at all.

As if she could not feel this, Proprietress Tian suddenly entered a deep stupor, then after someone seconds, she suddenly rushed to Li Yu's side and fell heavily on her kneels.

"Master!!! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, master I wasn't aware of this in the least.."

Li Yu shook his head quietly when he saw her scared expression, he continued.

"Tian, it seems like you're confused about something here, I had never said it was your fault at all, okay?"

Li Yu stood up and walked to Proprietress Tian to assist her back on her feet.

"Thank you for trust master."

Li Yu waved to her dismissively,

"I've known since the day I woke up that the poison I had consumed came from here."

Li Yu took some steps back and sat on the edge of the golden table.

"I did what I did today just so I could force the person that poisoned me out. I'm sure the person would report what happened to the person that had sent her to poison me."

Li Yu had begun to emit cold killing intents at this moment, although it was not one percent of the one he emitted in his room a day ago, this one still feels scary.

"I need you to hire some shadow guards to always keep monitor of every staffs in this inn, I can't have anyone that would destroy what I've worked hard for around me."

Li Yu commanded coldly then stood from the table to return to the position he was seating earlier.

He waited for proprietress Tian to savor his command before continuing.

"That's not the main reason I was here though," Li Yu whispered.

"Huh?!"

'Is this reason not enough?'

Both Little Liu's and proprietress Tian's attention was now fully focused on Li Yu.

Then Li Yu began another session of discussion.

But unlike the oppressive atmospheric condition caused by the topic they were discussing earlier, the atmosphere this time was very warm.

Li Yu and the trio began to make plans that would make the start of their debut, and make them known throughout the world, although they don't know yet.

...

"I wonder what young master Liu is discussing with the proprietress.

"One of the attendants that was beside Li Yu earlier, a beautiful girl with small stature voiced out her curiosity.

Few girls were busy gossiping at this moment in a room of the Inn

"I had thought proprietress Tian would ban this young master with how he had behaved, but surprisingly, that did not happen." Another attendant sighed in deep thought.

After Proprietress Tian had excused the attendants earlier, they had all run off and called the staffs that were not busy to gossip everything with them.

Out of this staffs, a particular maid could be seen seated, all quiet while seeming to be in deep thought.

Her face could be seen furrowed together from time to time.

…..

"Master, I would see you soon then," proprietress Tian bowed respectfully for Li Yu, to send him off.

Li Yu and Little Tian who had put back her mask again then exited the suite, while Li Yu resumed back his playboy act.
