Chapter 9.1: The Kingdom on the Water, Water Edge


    "I had originally thought that he married those women merely because he wanted to build and consolidate more power after weighing the pros and cons, and as long as he still has me in his heart, I can choose to ignore it all."


    "But, how could he..... fall in love with another woman..... How could he allow that woman to give birth to his children....."


    "I hate him, and I hate that woman, and I absolutely detest those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"


    That was the first time in his twenty over years that he saw such terrifying viciousness on the gentle and benevolent face of his mother. He had never thought that the day woulde that he would see his mother be an aggrieved woman who secluded herself in her chambers.


    He had always thought that that was something that would happen only in the Imperial Pce.


    The gentle and kindly d.u.c.h.ess in his mind, his mother who always had a smile on her face had turned to be someone he felt he did not know.


    He could not ept it, and was unwilling to ept that to be the truth.


    Collecting his thoughts back together, he looked at the young girl before him whose face was filled with worry for him. His heart warmed up, and hisrge hand lightly caressed the young girl’s face. "Little NIng, Big Brother really wish that you will never ever change."


    To never be blinded by the struggles for power, and to never need to change for any man to be a person that was not her at all.


    Thinking about that, Yan Xi Cheng then remembered that his intelligent and beautiful younger sister was engaged to the Crown Prince. "Little Ning, have you and the Crown Prince recently met up at all?"


    "Him? Nope." Yan Ning Luo’s lips stiffened, her face looking like she could not be bothered about that.


    This couple who carried the bond of marriage between them did not seem to be showing any awareness of their engagement to each other.


    They were both direct disciples in the inner circle within the Faint Mist Sect but the Crown Prince Xuanyuan Che was epted two years earlier and was Yan Ning Luo’s senior.


    When they were back among the sect, their heads were always lowered when they encountered each other. With that being the case, Yan Ning Luo did not have any feelings towards this fiance of hers and Xuanyuan Che was also always cold and distant towards her, treating her very much like he would a stranger.


    The two people were tied together by the Imperial Family the moment they were born and they just could not see eye to eye with each other.


    Yan Xi Cheng was also feeling rather puzzled. Although this younger sister of hers was proud and aloof, but she was usually still quite well liked by people.


    A girl with such a countenance and gifted like her, not to mention here in the Green Wave Kingdom, it was considered rare to see even throughout the entirends. But the Crown Prince did not seem the least bit interested in her at all.


    It must be known, that in the whole Green Wave Kingdom, there was almost no man who would note to like Little Ning.


    Could it be..... the Crown Prince likes men?


    Yan Xi Cheng’s eyes bulged wide, shocked by the very thought that came into his mind before quickly pushing that strange thought away.


    Seeing his sister sitting there with her chin casually cradled in her hand, her beautiful eyes half narrowed as she looked outside the window, Yan Xi Cheng could not help but to sigh. "Little Ning, what are you thinking? You really do not like His Highness the Crown Prince?"


    "Why would I like him? I do not even know him." Yan Ning Luo looked at himzily, her expression seeming to say "you’re really very strange."


    "Both of you are in the same sect, and direct fellow disciples as well. How could you possibly not know him?"


    "Doesn’t Big Brother know how strict and stringent the Faint Mist Sect is with their segregation of levels? For someone like me who has been epted into the sect merely three years ago, and just barely be considered to possess some gift, would have no chance of a.s.sociating with core disciples like the Crown Prince who had been part of the sect for seven eight years."


    "....." Yan Xi Cheng did not say anything.


    Little Sister you’ve be naughty. That is obviously just an excuse. Your potential wouldn’t be considered to be all that bad. Which other female are there with great potential like you?


    Even if you don’t want to see the Crown Prince, you shouldn’te up with such a shoddy excuse right?


    You’re making Big Brother think you are an idiot you know?


    Yan Xi Cheng was really worrying his heart to bits for this younger sister of his who was not interested in anything else but cultivation.
