Chapter 43 - 43. The Reason

Third person POV

After getting their kiss, Xu Tingfeng asked Xu Yingjie.

Xu Tingfeng: " So how can big bro knew who the culprit is?"

Xu Yingjie: " It is that useless prime minister. He came here first before he went to that guild."

Xu Yongzheng: " Humph! They can't compare to our Spider Lily. They are so scared of Xu's family elite forces and tried to destroy it by hiring us. But they don't know that we are the elite forces."

Xu Yingjie: " So what are you gonna do to him?"

Xu Tingfeng: " Better to keep him alive. Surround that sc.u.mbag ( The emperor) with useless people, it will be easier to crush him."

Xu Yingjie: " Uhm."

Hong er tried to connect all what they said but she still didn't understand how can Xu Yingjie and Xu Yongzheng still alive. And how can they secretly built Spider Lily? Xu Yingjie noticed Hong er's confused expression.

Xu Yingjie: " Curious?"

He asked Hong er. Hong er looked up and nodded her head. Xu Yingjie sat down on a chair, he lifted Hong er up and put her on his lap.

Xu Yingjie: " Actually, It is not that complicated. I was once a great general like your dad, but I hate communicating and talk rubbish, especially with those rat officials. So in one battlefield, I fought with Wang Guizhi's brother. Both of us was badly injured, it caused the scar on my left eye here. So I just made it like he stabbed my head and I died. I prefer the secluded life like these. We trained our elite forces here and earned some money as an assassin guild."

Hong er earnestly listened to Xu Yingjie's explanation, but she was still confused Xu Yongzheng's death because in the family book, Xu Yongzheng disappeared when he was on a mission. No one could find him as they didn't really know his face. Even though Xu Yongzheng was very playful, he never went out fron the Xu's residence as he always trained with his brothers. Making it easier to fake Xu Yongzheng's death.

Xu Yongzheng: " My story is unexpectedly more complicated than big bro's, yknow. When second elder brother brought Saozi ( elder brother's wife) to our home, he brought Wang ge ( Wang Guizhi) and his fiancée ( Lin Zhenxin) too. Yue er ( Lin Yingyue) followed them too as she was a close friend with Saozi.

But she played hard to get, I met her for the second time when she almost died in a forest. That time I was on a mission to find big bro's main base. I helped her and brought her to here, mah~ after that I kept chasing her heart and I didn't realize that 2 years had gone by. The situation in capital got tense as the new emperor ascended. The new emperor tried to eliminate Xu family, so they just told me to stay here from then on. They faked my death and that's how I died. Ahahahaha."

Xu Yongzheng laughed out loud, he was really proud of his story as Xu Yongzheng's story really was more complicated than Xu Yingjie's. Hong er was dumbfounded by the reason of their death. She wanted to puke blood when she heard Xu Yongzheng's story.

Hong er: ' Now, the last mystery, how can they don't have golden eyes?'

Xu Yingjie: " Are you curious about our eyes?"

Hong er widened her eyes in surprise, ' Can Bo Bo read people's mind?'

Xu Yingjie: " No, I can't read people's mind."

Hong er: ' OMG, then how?'

Xu Yingjie: " I read your expressions."

Hong er: " Oohh~" (°ｏ°)

Xu Yingjie: " It is important for us, the elite forces, to have the ability to read people's expressions. So we can know if they are lying or being honest when we interrogate someone."

Hong er repeatedly nodded her head, she was amazed by her family's abilities. Xu Yingjie slightly lifted his side lip, ' She is very cute' Xu Yingjie glanced at Bai Huiqing and nodded his head. Bai Huiqing nodded her head and chanted a spell. Xu Yingjie, Xu Yongzheng, Xu Yongliang, Xu Yong rui, Xu Zhiqiang, and Xu Zihao's eyes suddenly changed color into golden. Hong er was speechless, ' So they hide their eye color to hide their identity. Now the puzzle is completed. Fiuhh~"

Hong er: " But why did Yu er's ( Xu Zhaoyu) eye color was not hidden?"

Bai Huiqing: " He is still very young and this spell was created by me and Lin Zhenxin. We never tried it on a baby so better safe than sorry."

After they discussed some stuffs, they reluctantly sent Xu Tingfeng, BaiHuiqing, and Hong er off. The three of them went home and took a bath. Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing went to their bed and slept, on the other side, Hong er went to the library as her usual morning routine. Since it had past 3 AM, she couldn't fell asleep so she just did what she usually do.

The sun had risen, Xu Tingeng was preparing for morning court. He rode Xiao Huo to the palace and arrived before anyone else. Xu Tingfeng entered the hall and stood at his position. He waited until all of the officers and emperor arrived. The prime minister was horrified when he saw Xu Tingfeng. The emperor started the morning court and asked for the issues or cases that needed to be solved.

The prime minister was scared and furious, ' How can Xu Tingfeng still alive?!' The prime minister kept glaring at Xu Tingfeng during the morning court but when he made eye contact with Xu Tingfeng, his body froze and shuddered with horror. After 2 hours, the emperor asked.

The emperor: " Are there anything else that needs to be discussed?"

Xu Tingfeng stepped forward and cupped his fist.

Xu Tingfeng: " Yes, Your Majesty. This official will depart from capital city today, please give this official the permission to leave the capital."

The emperor slammed his hand on the arm chair.

Emperor: " No!"
