60 Trouble is Brewing 2

"Mother, why are they angry?" The five-year-old child asked looking at the people angry faces. Their hands holding torches and weapon.

"They are looking for White Rose." The mother replied while patting her child's head. The child looked up at the dark night sky. He remembered the red eye and white-haired woman who save him. There was blood all over her clothes, she was battered and bruised and her chest heaves up and down like she was experiencing breathing difficulties.

"Mother, are you talking about the white-haired woman? But why are they angry? She saves us." The mother looked at her five-year-old child and squatted to his level. She cupped her son's face and smiled.

There are still kind people in this world. She thought and hugged her child.

"That's because she killed one of their family. They want her to pay the price." She explained.

"We should help her, mother. We should help her. "

"My son, they are powerful, and we are...powerless. We can't take any of these influential people."

"But..."

"I know you're worried about her but if she is strong enough to defeat those 10 people, she will definitely overcome what's coming."

The dark sky is turning red. The Emperor is silent but the wives of those officials were begging to have an open execution for Li Wei.

The Emperor massage his temples. He wasn't planning on moving. She's just a girl, there's no need for him to go.

"Your majesty, what are we going to do?" Min Hei anxiously asked. His father, Min Wen said it before that if she's in trouble the Min Clan should help her.

"I'll deal with this. For the sake of the people, I'll fight her."

Min Hei looked at the Emperor with wide eyes and he hastily said, "Your Majesty, please don't!"

"Don't worry, I won't hurt her but she must defeat me in front of the people. If I hurt her, your father will kill me for sure--oh no, he will break our longtime friendship. We have the same master in the past and I understand his feelings. We miss her. When I saw Li Wei for the first time, I can't believe it, I was seeing my Master in my children's banquet but I realize she isn't our Master because I was the one who told Wen'er that our master is dead." He stood up from the dragon seat and continued speaking, "If your father said she was our master's reincarnation...then I will believe him."

The Emperor waved his hand for the eunuch to receive an order. He ordered for the eunuch to relay his message to the official's wives that he will deal with the matter on his own there's no need for open execution.

Meanwhile, Li Wei on the other hand just sips her tea while watching Mu Yang and Chu Lin walking back and forth.

"Why aren't you panicking, Li Wei? It's getting lively down there. They will find you soon enough." Mu Yang stop walking and nibbling her fingers when she saw that Li Wei is leisurely having a sip of her tea.

"Panicking in this situation is useless. Even if the sky is falling down, I won't escape. No matter what happens, don't turn your back on it. Face it. She taught me that."

'She?'

Chu Lin and Mu Yang stared at her expression. Li Wei had that straight face, however, the two notice that there's bitterness swirling on her eyes.

'Why? Does she think she will die today? Why the bitterness?' Thought Mu Yang and Chu Lin.

Suddenly, Feng An and Meimei burst out from the door. The two have the same expression. Nervousness.

"Young miss...People are coming this way." The cold expression that Feng An always had cracked. His face paled. His lips slightly quivering and his throat dried.

"Fighting without reason to fight for is not a way to live, Li Wei. It's just a way to die." Mu Yang unknowingly blurted out. She stops in her track when she realized what she just said.

"Isn't surviving a reason to fight?" Li Wei looked at Mu Yang as she stood up. Her gaze never leaves Li Wei as her eyes flicker from golden to red.

"That's not what I mean. I just don't want you to die." Mu Yang answered. Mu Yang is afraid that the genuine person she ever knows will die.

"I already thought of you as a friend. I'm afraid...Li Wei I don't want to lose a friend like you." Mu Yang truthfully answers, her eyes brimmed with tears. For three months she was with her, she knows she wanted to venture the world with her. Li Wei wanted to be stronger, so does she.

Li Wei patted Mu Yang's shoulder.

"Fear of death is what keeps us alive. Relax, I won't be killed easily."

"You should go. This is my affair, I'll handle this. I don't want you to be implicated."

"There! That is that girl's house! We always saw her descended this hill whenever she goes to school! I can't believe that she's that White Rose! What a monster!"

Five heads turned to look outside. Li Wei withdraws her hands from Mu Yang's shoulder and takes a step forward to go outside.

"Li Wei! You beast! Get the fuck out of your house!" Nalan Hechan shouted outside. His only daughter is dead and his only son doesn't want to help him take revenge. He was extremely angered that his son is a coward. How can he dote on such a coward child?

"Everyone! Let's barge in!"

Several footsteps punch the iron-like bar gate. When they saw this mansion, it was different from their own home. This house was different that it is more intimidating. They can clearly see what's inside. Red roses to some and white roses to others...
