SHE DID SOMETHING TO HIM

"Stop it Tianyao!" Xiao Jun shouted at his brother harshly, he inched closer to him as the sword ready in his hand.

However, Xiao Tianyao didn't do what his brother had told him. His eyes glistened with killing intent and bloodthirsty, and that wasn't a good sign. It was even a worse signal for Xiao Jun.

Xiao Zi had summoned him first into the palace to let him beg for forgiveness for his brother. Prison break was one of the heaviest crimes in the military, he would be sentenced to death, no matter what rank you were.

Under the pretense of discussing the matter about Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Jun and Xiao Zi had been playing with their word with many idioms and hypocrisy involved in their discussion.

The long convoluted conversation only resulted; the emperor would overlook this case and put Xiao Tianyao under house arrest as long as Xiao Jun would represent the Kingdom of Azura to go to the Rockstone Kingdom.

He didn't say it out loud, but the meaning that he wanted for Xiao Jun to grasp was louder than if he said it.

Outsider who didn't understand about the deepest hatred between the two, would say it was a simple punishment that didn't suit the crime that Xiao Tianyao had committed. But, everyone in the palace knew it well.

By Xiao Tianyao was under house arrest, it same like crippled Xiao Jun's strength politically and militarily, it would limit his movement, weakened his power.

Not to mention for sending him out to the Kingdom of Rockstone. It was an open invitation for being murdered.

Xiao Zi had set his eyes on that Kingdom. It wouldn't be exaggerated if one was saying that Xiao Jun would end up like his parents, be murdered outside of their land, and for The Kingdom of Rockstone, they might ended up like Xinghe.

This was the biggest picture of Xiao Zi's offer for Xiao Tianyao's remission.

With this, Xiao Jun only could grit his teeth and bit back his indignation while agreeing with the arrangement.

However, with all that he had done for his brother, Xiao Tianyao was actually would ruin it by openly declared to kill the Emperor!

He would have killed him by his own bare hand if the matter would stop right there, the thing was, it didn't look as easy as it appeared on the surface, and Xiao Zi was only an outer shell of the real hazard.

Within a short span of time, all the palace guards had surrounded them, their sharp blades were pointing at Xiao Tianyao, but no one brave enough to confront him. They looked at their comrades on their left and right, waiting for instruction.

Only when Xiao Tianyao, without any regards toward them, was walking closer to the Emperor's study room, the guards didn't have choice except intervened.

Xiao Tianyao coldly killed two guards with a single strike from his sword. The two dead bodies directly fell on the floor, bathed with blood. He must have gone insane!

Unsatisfied to finish off two guards, he went to the other, emotionlessly killed them too. The two eunuchs who cowered away ran to the gate and called as much guards as they could to help.

Looking the way his brother was killing those innocent people, numbing his mind. Without he realized, he had dashed toward him and stabbed him on his shoulder with a dagger to prevent him committed further damage.

Tianyao, please stop. He begged in his heart. He was the last family member that he had, the only brother that he had. He couldn't afford to lose him too.

Ferociously, Xiao Tianyao made a slashing motion that forced Xiao Jun to back off. Without batting an eye, he pulled the dagger from his shoulder and looked at his brother with killing intent.

From afar, inside the serene study room, behind the slightly opened window, Xiao Zi and Modama was looking at the battle outside, smiling at the two brothers who were fighting with each other.

"Luna did something to him." Modama said leisurely after he saw the look in Xiao Tianyao's eyes.

"It's not in the plan." Xiao Zi replied while sipping his tea.

The two of them chatted away as though the bloody scene with dead body littered on the floor was not existed.

"Kidnapping her, wasn't in the plan either. But, you did it anyway." Modama responded. "Don't forget, women's vengeance is the scariest thing."

"Using him to kill me, but in the other hand, she help us to wrap this plan faster." Xiao Zi nodded in agreement. "Your daughter is indeed impressive young lady." He stated.
