"Your student might be a general but you have no right to be here." Han Jiwoo said coldly trying to use her royal power to scare him off, "I'm sorry to inform you your royal highness but his Majesty told me I have the same rights as Bogsu during this war so I have every right to be here with you." Lin Wei responded with the same vigor.
Han Jiwoo bit her lips wondering how her father could do such without informing her of anything leading to such embarrassing moment, the warriors would see her as useless and take it as the fact that her father did not treat her as the heir that was why he did not relay such important information.
"Oh, I did remember father mentioning something like that, I apologize deeply for misjudging you." Han Jiwoo quickly added to rectify her image.
Lin Wei said nothing but stared at her for a while before finally deciding to speak, "About the plan moving by noon time means we get there by dusk how are we sure that the enemy would not have ended theur lives by then?" Lin Wei asked with a straight face.
"We can't move rashly Master Wei." Han Jiwoo said walking towards the edge of the table, "Don't call me master." Lin Wei said plainly, the only person qualified enough to call him that was Bogsu, she might be a bit too much some times but she was his beloved student and in a way his very own daughter.
"Anyways, we have to prepare adequately so that the enemy won't lay an ambush on us like they did the last time because that seems to be their fort." Han Jiwoo elaborated faking concern on her face like she cared for the welfare of the soldiers.
Lin Wei clenched his fists tightly as he kept on pressing hard unto his ring, he was not dumb enough to not know what Han Jiwoo was thinking, he could read her emotions like a book and could tell her whole plan.
The spiteful human by tomorrow noon would then look for another excuse to delay the rescue and it would just so much happen that by the time they get there all three of the captives were dead and no one would blame him because they believed he tried his best.
"The crown prince is right Lin Wei, we can't just risk the lives of soldiers to save three lives." One of the general who has been bribed by Song Minhyun to support Han Jiwoo no matter what suddenly spoke up.
"Those three lives at stake are the ones you pledged your solidarity to." Lin Wei yelled as a burst of energy exploded from him, and an enclave of blue fire surrounding him as he glared at the men in the room.
Haan Jiwoo gulped in anxiousness, it was an open secret that people cultivated in the kingdom but they were very rare as must of them usually go into hiding and come out only when they feel like or when they are needed.
The generals trottled back in fear, indeed they were men of valour but against a cultivator they stood no chance.
Seeing that due to his anger he had unleashed his aura, Lin Wei took in a deep breath and slowly the fire died down.
He sighed glancing at Han Jiwoo with disgust on his face before he turned around and left the tent.
The generals murmured to each other at how amazing it was to have a cultivator in their midst and also figured that maybe Bogsu was a cultivator.
Hearing that, the spring of Jealousy overflowed with Han Jiwoo as she gritted her teeth in anger, there was no way she was going to let Bogsu to be better than her, immediately, Han Jiwoo chased after Lin Wei leaving the generals to themselves in the tent and at the end they were displeased concerning Han Jiwoo's behavior.
"Master please wait!" Han Jiwoo yelled running after Lin Wei panting heavily, Lin Wei frowned annoyed as he turned back wondering what Han Jiwoo wanted from him.
Seeing that she had finally gotten Lin Wei attention, Han Jiwoo fell on her knees and propelled her hands forward, her left hand formed a fist while other one was left open, she placed them together which was a sign of respect, "Please take me as your student." Han Jiwoo asked because she knew this in question was a rare opportunity that presented itself, cultivativators were very few because few people had the spiritual essence to cultivate, of course spiritual essence could be forcefully cultivated in the body but every good thing had a repercussion, if spiritual essence is forcefully imparted, practicing cultivation would be detrimental to the cultivator as it would be slowly destroying all vitality in the cultivator's body.
Lin Wei rolled his eyes at Han Jiwoo, he knew she was only doing this because of cultivators were rare if not she would have never bowed to him.
"Kow tow to me as an apology and I will consider it." Lin Wei said with no emotions in his face, Han Jiwoo looked at his face in disbelief wondering how she, the proclaimed crown prince would now before a mere peasant who amounted to nothing.
Two voices were arguing in Han Jiwoo's head at the moment, one telling her to do it for the sake of cultivation another telling her not to and respect her pride as the crown prince.
"You don't look to eager to learn, I wouldn't take my leave now, see you later your highness." Line Wei bowed prepared to leave, Han Jiwoo did not know if the farewell was a better idea to spite her because hearing the 'your highess' made her feel embarrassed that she was on her knees for a mere commoner.
But seeing that Lin Wei was about to leave for real, Han Jiwoo immediately hit her head hard on the ground that her forehead immediately started bleeding, "Please take me in as your disciple, Master Wei." She yelled trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes.
