(Part 8)
"That's enough!" came a voice. The Heavenly Supremes turned to face the Heavenly emperor who spoke up. "Regarding the case of the silent city, Mo Xingchen's confession was the same as Gonghe's. So the matter regarding the silent city ends here. Moreover, Heavenly Supreme Mo Xingchen from the administrative palace of Zhou Gonghe will be banished form the heavenly realm for five years." He declared.
Zhou Gonghe bowed low before him. His expression seemed not quite satisfied after whatever happened. "Understood your Majesty. However, the marks on the bodies are definitely of the scythe Siwang ren. Thus, I request the heavenly emperor to kindly conduct a thorough investigation on this matter." He requested. Zhijun nodded calmly, "Of Course, I will conduct a thorough investigation on it. No doubt about that. This conversation… let's end it here today." He told. Xianwu looked at him in wonder, "That's it…? Then, what about the matter regarding the dragon pavilion?" she thought puzzled.
Soon everyone started to leave the Heavenly palace one by one. Since the trial on Mo Xingchen had been handled not much was to be discussed now however it was still unclear to Xianwu about the matters regarding the Dragon pavilion. Xianwu looked at the Supremes leaving from the Heavenly palace. Her eyes reaching Zhijun over his throne. Looking at her he spoke, "Xianwu, stay" Hearing his words Xianwu nodded lightly.
Xianwu again turned around to face at the sight dispersing, her eyes instantly meeting Feixing and Fenghuang who walked towards her. "Looks like it all went well right?" Fenghuang smiled while patting her hairs. Xianwu nodded, "Almost…" she responded with a smile. "If it would have gotten any messier, I would've stepped in to take up." Feixing smiled while eyeing Weixiao who waved back at him. Xianwu blinked her eyes in wonder, "Are you both…?" she asked as Feixing nodded.
"The Guang palace and the Wang palace have been close aides for a very long time. So we mostly work together on some cases. Your case which was slightly difficult for him to handle, was shared with me in case he would need some assistance but it looks like it all worked out in the end. As expected from someone as witty as him" he complimented. Xianwu gazed at him in wonder.
"So they planned to help me…" she thought slightly surprised. "I wonder what, is this nostalgic feeling I am having in my heart right now?" she thought with a smile. "Thank you…" she thanked however, from between her and Feixing Senlin walked past her furiously. Not even grasping a wink at her, she left the heavenly palace. Xianwu stared at her back confused.
After her, Shijei passed by. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks and faced her. Feixing and Fenghuang gazed at him seriously. Xianwu who was at a loss of words had nothing to say to him and to tell the truth the aura he left out felt menacing for someone like her to handle at that moment. Shijei looked right and left unsure of what to say. At a moment he would open his mouth to say something and the other he would close it shut. Xianwu who felt confused and awkward had nothing to say as she witnessed him fighting himself just to speak. In the end, frustrated by himself he walked away without saying a single word. Xianwu gazed at his back perplexed as well. "It felt as if he wanted to say something… however he couldn't." told Fenghuang who had already read the awkward atmosphere.
"I thought so as well…" Xianwu replied with an uncomfortable laugh. She turned around to find Weixiao waving her with a mile wide smile, "Crown Princess Yue Xianwu…!" he cheered however General Zhou Gonghe had already caught him with his collar suddenly choking him. "You brat!!" he angered slightly pissed. "For the sake of your fathers reputation hold onto your horses!" he claimed. Weixiao eyed him irritated "What? General Zhou Gonghe, Don't think you could threaten me while using my father's name. I am telling you I am not scared of him at all!" he hissed angrily. Gonghe stared at him with veins popping on his head, "You little!! Because of you Xingchen was punished so dismally. Five years of banishment from the Heavenly realm and its affairs!" he angered.
"Hmph!!" Weixiao shrugged while letting himself go from his grasp. "The banishment of Little Mo has got nothing to do with me! He did all that on his own. You big old scary man!!" he said while leaving the heavenly palace quiet irritated. Xianwu who was watching this display from afar could only smile. "This little brat…!" General Zhou whispered while walking outside the heavenly palace. Xianwu smiled at the sight awkwardly.
. "Feixing…" called a voice as Xianwu gazed behind. Behind her a gorgeous figure stood. Feixing upon hearing his name went towards the figure, "Brother…" Feixing smiled.
Xianwu gasped in awe. The figure before her looked absolutely stunning. Wearing a light blue and white robe with a silver crown resting on his hairs. While, Heavenly runes surrounded him. Upon Xianwu's sight the figure smiled. Xianwu blinked her eyes in a sudden reaction. "Is this Heavenly Supreme… brother Feixing's elder brother by any chance…?" she thought. Feixing instantly eyeing Xianwu introduced the figure to her, "Xianwu, he is my elder brother 'Lan Ge Wang' (Blue dove king) and brother, she is crown princess Yue Xianwu." Xianwu bowed in respect. "Greetings, General Lan Ge wang." Xianwu greeted.
LanGe smiled, "Really… no need to be so polite. Just act in the same way like you act in front of Feixing." He smiled. Xianwu nodded puzzled. Feixing nodded in return. "Such a kind person…" Xianwu thought.
Eyeing Fenghuang behind her, the two of them soon started their conversation. "We'll take our leave now, Crown princess Yue. Hope to see you again." LanGe smiled. Xianwu nodded. "It was a great pleasure to meet you." She told. Soon Feixing and Fenghuang, too left the heavenly palace. In the end, Xianwu was left alone in the once vast crowded room which had instantly turned silent.
