The Princess And The Lord

The fight ended with the Sword Saint sect's victory but of course, it's because Li Mo Zhen had secretly helped them by interrupting the Iron Horse sect members movement from time to time during their fight as the result the oranges group lost miserably as they were covered in blood and wounds, now they didn't look as arrogant as before while the Sword Saint members stare at them with a mocking look.

Knowing they couldn't win, the leader of the orange group shouted frantically, "Retreat - retreat!"

Listening to the leader's orders like granting them amnesty, they immediately turned around and ran away without hesitation.

"Hey, don't run!" one of the beauties of the Sword Saint sect shouted angrily but who would listen to her?

"Don't chase them!" The older man of the group said, "That's not worth it," he said as he sheathed his sword back into its scabbard, even if they won they were still in Iron Horse territory so they would be in trouble if the Iron Horse sect return with reinforcements.

Since the battle was over, Li Mo Zhen approached and then saluted them, "Heroes, thanks for your help, we don't know what to do if you don't help us?" Li Mo Zhen expresses his gratitude.

'Yeah, we should probably kill them ourselves' thought Lory and the others.

The young man stepped forward with a smug grin on his face, "Don't say that, It's something we have to do!" The young man puffed his chest seemingly very proud of himself.

Lory and Yang Xi Ying exchanged secret glances, it was because they saw that during the fight the young man didn't give too much help, instead, he was protected from left to right by all the Sword Saints members, even the beauties shielded him. Oh well, he is still young so Lory didn't think too much about him. 

They examined Li Mo Zhen's ordinary clothes and they were sure that Li Mo Zhen and his group were just ordinary people, one of the beauties saw Lory, Yang Xi Ying, and Zhao Li Xin stay on the carriage, her expression turning sour. "We already helped you out, but you guys didn't have the decency to come and thank us, don't you know some manners?!" she give reproachful look at Yang Xi Ying and Lory.

Li Mo Zhen sneered inwardly at the young lady's arrogance, he looked in Yang Xi Ying direction then turned his head back towards the Sword Saint members and cupped his fist in grieve "Thousand apologies, young lady, the truth is my wife is pregnant she might be still shaken right now that's why she can't move and my brother-in-law is very sick so my sister-in-law cannot leave him either because she needs to taking care of her husband"

They all saw Zhao Li Xin lean his head on Lory's shoulder while looking tired and pale, he obviously looks very sick, no wonder his wife looks worried.

Li Mo Zhen explanation made The Sword Saint members embarrassed and awkward, they feel petty for asking this pitiful group to show their gratitude after they helped them if people knew about their reputation would be plummeted to the ground, immediately the same older man who talk with Li Mo Zhen gave the young lady a stern glare, being reprimand in front of other people she feels embarrassed she pouts and lowers her head didn't dare to speak anymore, but still, she did not apologize.

"I'm sorry sir, my junior is still young so she doesn't know what to say, please don't take it to the heart," the man apologize sincerely.

Li Mo Zhen was flustered he waved his hand wildly "No, it's fine, we feel very grateful for you and the young miss help!"

Li Mo Zhen's modesty made them even more embarrassed so the man asked again "May I ask what is your name and what happened and why is the iron horse sect bothering you?"

"Oh my bad, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Li Jin, our family wants to go to the capital to seek better treatment for our sister-in-law Lu Xin" explained Li Mo Zhen.

Meanwhile, Lory was surprised that Li Mo Zhen used the pseudonym that Zhao Li Xin used when they infiltrated the Sacred Mountain Peak.

"However on the way we were suddenly blocked by a group in orange clothes he asked us to pay twenty taels of silver to pass otherwise they would arrest my wife and sister-in-law as collateral" Li Mo Zhen shook his head his voice etched with anger and helplessness.

Lory saw Li Mo Zhen acting she convince that Li Mo Zhen acting is the best among them.

"Are you going to Yu Jin city?" asked the young man in surprise.

Li Mo Zhen nodded confusedly, "Yes, young master is there a problem?"

The Sword Saint members looked at each other with gloomy eyes, and the young man continued, "The problem is big, did you know that the Heaven Gate sect was on high alert after he lost the battle with the Hei Shen sect because the Heaven Gate sect is not far from the Yu Jin City so the entire city is being closely watched and because of Heaven's Gate Sect's good relationship with the Cang Lan Kingdom the emperor agreed to give careful inspection to any people who entered the city gate to prevent Hei Shen Sect's spies that might slip among them." The youth scoffed at how excessive the Cang Lan kingdom reaction was just to curry favor from the Heaven's Gate sect.

"See how scared they are with the Hei Shen sect, they always throw their weight wherever they go, just look at Wei Zu Tian's behavior, how many women he takes as his concubine regardless of whether she wants to or not, no one dares to stop him because he was very strong but in my opinion, sects like Heaven Gate sec should not be afraid of especially now, I don't know why no one ook this chance to attack them..." the young man spat our his rage freely until the older man reprimand him.

"Young Master" The man reprimand the young man then his eyes swept around him fearing for others hearing what the young man said, he shift his eyes back o the young man "Young Master even skinny camel still bigger than a horse" he remind the young man.

Li Mo Zhen thought this man is wise on the contrary the young man didn't appreciate the man's warning then he snort in disdain but luckily he didn't talk further.

Li Mo Zhen saw the opportunity here thus he pretended to be overly anxious, Li Mo Zhen look down and muttered in a helpless tone: "Then what should we do know? brother-in-law's illness is very serious if we can't give him proper medicine, he might be.." Grief flashed across Li Mo Zhen's face.

Lory saw Li Mo Zhen's acting, she quickly follow through, Lory suddenly hugged Zhao Li Xin head and wailed, the quick-witted Yang Xi Ying also pretended to wipe her nonexistent tears with her sleeve, and Mong's brother lowered his head in deep sadness but as he looking down Mong Yi just realized that he needed to buy new shoes.

They were all watching Li Mo Zhen group with great sympathy they felt bad for this pitiful group, and suddenly the young man exclaimed "Why don't you come with us?"

"Young master!" the man anxiously tried to remind him even though these people looked harmless but they didn't know anything about them and with the current situation it was necessary to be more careful.

However, the young man didn't understand he casually shrugged his shoulders, "Why not, it's fine we just take them to Yu Jin city to find a good physician for his brother-in-law, is not that hard besides who dares to stop us anyway"

Li Mo Zhen saw the opening but he couldn't be too obvious thus he keep his acting then he waved his hand frantically "No, we can't trouble young master more than this, you are already kind enough to help out if we ask for more than this, we feel very bad"

Li Mo Zhen's words inflamed the youth's ego, his entire face beaming, "It's okay, my grandfather said if we help someone, we have to help them to the end!" The young man laughed heartily.

"Young master is very kind, Shi Jiao knows you the best!" the young girl smiled sweetly, she didn't look like the rude girl before.

"En, Young Master is indeed very kind and I think Young Master is right there is no harm in helping people in need don't they say saving one life is more than building a seven-layer pagoda" Another beautiful woman who looked more mature smiled beautifully to the young man.

Being complimented by the two beauties the youth's nose seemed longer, he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

Having no choice, the older man sighed. The young master was naturally kind but he was so innocent and naive because their madam spoiled their young master too much from a young age, their madam didn't even allow their master to discipline the young master, one scrap on the young master body their madam would cry for two days and two nights.

Facing this situation their master went awry, their Master is a good man he doesn't want to make his wife sad as he loved his wife so much that he did not take a concubine even though madam could only give him one son, as a result, their young master grew up as a weak and spoiled child that was also the reason why was his cultivation stuck at the grandmaster level, but considering their madam's overprotection toward their young master it's amazing that their Young Master could even reach the Grandmaster level.

"Well, why don't you follow us to Yu Jin city" the man withdrew.

Li Mo Zhen expressed his unease but also thanked him and relief on his face, overall, it was top-notch acting that Lory almost give a standing ovation and shouted 'Bravo - Bravo!'

"Many thanks, Sir and Young Master" Li Mo Zhen ended his act with a deep bow.
