How disappointing

Xu Cheng look at the blood of the guy earlier from his right hand and lick it. Then, within a second sighed.

"Ah~. Here I thought it would taste heavenly."

[How disappointing... But...] He thought expressionlessly and close his eyes, while hearing swords clicking together, sound of blood splashing and their desperate screams.

"This is heaven. My favorite music of all time." He said to himself smiling satisfied and fall into a slumber.

Seconds later, the sounds stopped, and Xu Cheng's snore stops too, replacing it with a groan.

He open it eyes at the same time, Fu Rong entered.

"Is it done?"

Fu Rong nodded respectfully. "Yes, your highness." [That was fast.] he thought looking outside the carriage.

"Let's go."

Lin Che's Side

"Who?"

Wu asked. "The regent? The one wearing a blue robe?" Lin Che nodded. "Ah." Wu rolled his eyes and explained.

"That was your bitched faced of a fiancé , Xu Dong's uncle. Just to clarify, your bitched faced of a fiancé is adopted."

"Adopted?"

Lin Che asked as it took her by surprise. "Yeah, as you know Xu Dong is secretive, but X Cheng, the regent is more than that. Mysterious and merciless."

[Xu Cheng? That was his name?]

Suddenly she chuckled lightly. [ His name should be Xiao Yang. Cheng seems too mature? Instrument, huh?]

[I felt like Yang suits him more... although he's not. It just fits him perfectly.]

Wu close his eyes tightly. "Damn, lady stop it! I can hear you." Lin Che rolled her eyes yet asked.

"Was that Xu Cheng guy, dyed his hair or not?" Wu didn't budge nor speak for a second, before bursting into a huge and loud fit of laughter.

"Please... it's 14th century... My god...! There are still no dye in here... My stomach... I can't... anymore..."

Wu said while giggling like an idiot. "Then don't laugh! You damned balloon big head guy! I have no interest in history." Lin Che said back angrily at his ear, loud enough to hurt him in the ear... on purpose.

However, Wu himself doesn't feel any pain and remained numb.

He was about to laugh again when, when Lin Che tap her katana near the tree next to him, which shock him.

"O- of course..., prince of war is born that way. He is special among his tribe... Take that away from me." Wu said in fear, clearing his throat.

"Oh? He is also titled as Prince of War?"

Lin Che asked in surprise, before smirking. [How odd... He seems... to be fun...]

Wu close his eyes tightly and cried. [Wah!] He imagine Lin Che's satisfied face whenever she kill someone and Xu Cheng's obsession with his opponent's blood and merciless and unconcerned face when he kills someone every time.

[If this damned woman take a liking with that monster, I'm sure it will not end well. I wanted to run and escape this so badly.]

Wu thought, while looking at Lin Che's innocent face later on.

But he knows it was impossible. It was also part of his mission after all. "By the way, Wu."

Lin Che look at him and asked. "You said I can see anyone's past with me by looking at them... By any chance... Do I know him?"

"You... forgot?"

Lin Che tilted her head to look at him confusedly. "That guy... I didn't see him before... in my childhood... before Xu Dong asked me for my power... No..."

"I didn't see him... How is it possible for me to know him...?"

Wu shook his head helplessly. "You really did." He said looking at her blankly.

"You and the regent had a past together. I bet you lose your memory in the future, didn't you?"

"Well, in my present. Yeah... But I'm quite sure... When I saw him, well... Some blurry images appears in my mind."

"Is it because he didn't saw my face clearly?"

"Maybe..."

Wu replied uninterested and yawned before disappearing. "Then why can't I read his mind? No, it was possibly because he appears to be quite cold?"

Lin Che murmured.

Speaking of cold... Lin Che recalled Lin Gong's cold face and how he mercilessly warned Lin Cang.

"If you really have your reasons. Why am I in the cold palace then?" She then clenched her fist tightly. [It must be done by you again. Lin Cang!]
