Though the journey to the neighboring kingdom was rather long, the trip seemed to be moving rather promisingly. Not only did they avoid stopping as much as possible. It seemed that Prince Xiao wanted to rush things. Anytime they had a short break for resting, or sleeping, he would clearly limit the time as much as possible. There had been one time, when they only stopped for a short 20 minutes! Surprisingly enough, not only hadn't the servants complained, but it seemed as they were relieved? It was just Qi Ah who didn't realize that those few breaks other then sleep were rare?

To be honest, other then short 3 hour rests for sleeping, the prince rarely paused during his trips out. The warriors much less the servants found it rather odd. However, none could doubt that clearly their prince was smitten with the 'princess' he'd be wedding. Not only did he wish to return faster so he could marry, but the ruthless man even took time to let his wife to be rest properly! Qi Ah was unaware of this, often asking his system what was happening, while also asking Weizhi if he knew why they were in such a rush.

However, no matter how many times he'd asked, Weizhi would just respond with vague reasons. Such as that the prince was in a rush do to something happening at home. Or that this was normal for the princes actions. Often rushing about or dilly-dallying depending on his mood. Though Qi Ah wasn't confused on this, he didn't really question as to why Weizhi would know how the prince normally reacted. Surly this only meant that Weizhi was originally from the neighboring kingdom? Maybe he was sent to be a spy, but had neglected his duties?! Thus now he was punished by not being allowed to remain with Qi Ah?

Many different thoughts would pass the youths mind as he began to worry. If it was true that Weizhi got in trouble for not following his task, then it was his fault right? He'd caused a flux in the story due to his own selfish actions! How shameful. He was a failure as a senior actor! Clearly his record was nothing but a farce. How would he face his families system once it was time to leave? Clearly this world was doomed to get a failing grade.

Yes, Qi Ah had completely forgotten that he was here only to enjoy his freedom and find himself. His mind had slipped back into the normal mode of wishing to complete the story with a 100% perfect score. This was a habit he always seemed to get after entering a world, wanting nothing more than to do his best to prove he was suited for the system he got. What more could he do ah? He had no memories of anything other than his lovely system. It was the system that raised him!

With Qi Ah thoughts keeping him distracted, the time swiftly passed and the party finally arrived at the city to the Xi Empire. It was at this time that Weizhi who had been massaging his back finally stopped. "Young master, its time I leave now. I wont be able to return. However, there will be someone else able to help with the poison other than me. So you don't need to worry." He stated.

Before Qi Ah could even respond, the masked male vanished from the carriage, not giving the youth any time to talk him into staying. Left alone, Qi Ah could only stare blankly at the empty space as he felt the isolation sinking in. Ah, if only the traveled a bit slower! He wasn't able to talk Weizhi into staying!! Hateful.
