(Part 5)
However, the moment she said those words the man gasped in shock, lumping on the bridge dejectedly, "Huh?! Can't remember…?" Xianwu too stood confused yet unable to do anything. Her gaze shifted to Xiao yin for help but it seemed he was really uninterested and kept away. "Did I just step on a landmine…?" she thought to herself. Lianhua sighed, "Don't mind him Crown princess, he is an idiot. Of course you don't know him since you never saw him before.
" The man stood up protesting as if he was wronged, "How cruel of you, Lianhua! Are you even my friend? Crown princess Yue, might not have seen me but she must have heard about me right? I am the Thunder master 'Guang Weixiao'! (One with a light filled smile)." He asked Xianwu with wholesome eyes of belief.
Suddenly Xianwu remembered "Ah! I remember now. I may have not met him in the past but I've read a lot about him, in the books at Yue kingdom's library before. Guang Weixiao a genius prodigy who is one of the nine elemental masters of the Heavenly City…" she thought. "I do remember you." She told. Weixiao smiled wholeheartedly tightly grabbing her by her shoulders. "You do! You do, right?! I knew it! Look, look Lianhua! Princess Yue Xianwu remembers me! Yay! Yippee!!" he laughed jumping up and down happily. Lianhua sighed again trying her best to ignore the childish figure dancing in happiness behind.
Xianwu gazed at them slightly baffled. "Don't take his words to heart. He is aloof. Moving on… what were you doing here?" Lianhua asked. Reminiscing what happened earlier, Xianwu looked around to find Xingchen walking towards the three of them. He kneeled over his knees before others on the bridge speaking, "Lord Thunder master…"
Weixiao gazing back at him walked before him twirling his mace, "Little Mo… I know everything now. Every single soul in the pit and over the bridge now has proof against you that you were the one who cursed your own brother and forced this human eating corpse's incident to a start. Moreover, in the name of solving this incident, you didn't even hesitate and kept holding it for so long not letting anyone else take it and eventually resulting in taking lives of many innocent humans, including even us Heavenly Supremes. Isn't that too much?" He asked.
Xingchen listened silently unable to utter a single word. "Since it is like that now, you know that you won't advance to any higher position than this which you have now and will be judged by the Heavenly Emperor directly." He continued. "Being a clone and deliberately sending the tribesmen into the silent city to turn into human eating corpses just to protect your brother not caring what the human eating corpses do after they have left the forest of no return towards other places harming many of innocent people. It is just a perfect and selfish plan." told Xianwu summing it up.
Weixiao sighed, "For more than a decade you had been toying around with the lives of many people. Do you know how many Heavenly Supremes died or disappeared because of you just to solve this case? More than five. And death and disappearance of Heavenly Supremes is not a joke. Tell me little Mo, how will you explain all this to General Zhou Gonghe?" he asked. Xingchen realising his mistake whispered, "I understand…" Weixiao stood up turning to face Xianwu.
"Now then, moving to you Crown princess Yue Xianwu… what made you come all the way here to the Silent city?" he asked. Xianwu sighed, "After gaining the merits of my first mission. I was told about the incident of human eating corpses by the heavenly Emperor. When I returned back to the mortal world, I suddenly fought the human eating corpses which attacked the village I'm residing in. worried if any more might attack, I thought to visit the Silent city to find out more about it…"
Weixiao smiled, "Without telling the emperor?" Xianwu stood silent. Of course, without telling the emperor. First of all it wasn't even her case to begin with and the condition she was in right now, was just like butting into other people's affairs without their consent. Instantly, Shijei made way in between them "I took the emperor's permission." He told. "I had already told him that I might visit the Silent city with some comrades, yes it's true it wasn't on the exact time however, I still took his consent."
Xianwu stared at him surprised "So he did take permission… but why lie to me, when I asked?" she thought. Weixiao smiled, "Well that's good to hear! I won't have any further problems in telling the Emperor now however, Crown Princess Yue… I think you should forget about this matter now…" Xianwu looked at him seriously, "Are you saying I should forget about this matter? I am already involved in it telling me now not to involve myself in it is not very useful isn't it?" she asked. "Moreover… Since Bingwen is also involved in it. I just can't leave it." she thought.
Upon her comment Xiao yin and Shijei gazed at her seriously. "Well, I understand your concern Crown princess, rest assured since I'll be taking all of them with me including Little Mo, Bingwen, Zhou Gonghe and all those on the bridge with me." Suddenly Xingchen jerked up gazing at Weixiao he pleaded, "No Lord Thunder master! Not Bingwen! He hasn't done anything wrong. If he has any punishment I'll take it for him but please don't take him to the Heavenly realm! I beg of you!"
Weixiao gazed at him eyeing his mace, "But, I don't have a choice Little Mo. He is the main victim of this incident after all, I just can't leave him." Xingchen however buried his head deeper before Weixiao, "Please! Please! As an appeal from an elder brother don't take him…" he begged. Seeing Xingchen throwing a tantrum Weixiao sighed, "Geez… Alright! Alright! I won't take him. Stop hitting your head on the ground."
