Chapter 14 - 14 - Come Let Us Slightly Break You. (1/2)
Cough
Cough
Snow weakly raised his sleeves as he cover his mouth, his small body shuddering in pain, amber eyes dimming down but remaining calm as always.
Eyes narrowing slightly as he felt a burst of weakness on his body, while lazily laying on a soft couch since he was currently resting in one of his base, a simple residence in the Rong Capital.
Small pink lip curving up, as he glance at the scroll laying on the desk away from where he was laying at, while the cold food on the table remain untouched since Snow doesn't feel a single appetite to eat any food this past few days but as he think of the food that Li Chen has cook before, his stomach couldn't help but make a rumbling sounds.
”Ah... My taste bud has been spoiled by Li Chen.” Snow sighed since Li Chen food are extremely delicious, specially when he taste the leaves of the sweet potato that he has eaten before since this body specially like that vegetable, specially like the sweet potatoes.
Ah, Snow is unable to buy that ingredient even if he want to, since that plant doesn't exist in this world at all.
He could get it in his own trade shop but it was a waste of karma energy point, he will just wait for Li Chen to appear and make him cook his own food again.
And maybe, let the vegetable be planted in the Rong Dynasty, Snow was sure that Li Chen will accept his request if he ask him for it.
Li Chen can just get the seeds on his own system after all.
Ah, such a nice cheat to have and use, it was definitely a good decision when he plan to use Li Chen.
After resting for a while, Snow change his robe into a simple black brocade robe before sitting in front of a mirror as he began to use all kind of items as his appearance began to change into a more normal looking face but still looking adorable, the red tear mark under his eyes completely disappearing, as another small red mark which was dimmer than what he has appeared on his wrist before his amber eyes turning into murky gray eyes.
”Flake make sure that Li Chen system will not be able to detect my presence and locations.”
”Okay! Don't worry about it Snow, I got it all covered up!” Flake boasted with a childish voice while feeling happy that he can be of help to Snow.
Snow flash Flake a smile before leaving the room, with a small bag along with a complicated tools on it.
A minutes later, Snow was sitting on a chair with a small table on his front in a busy market and entertainment place of the Capital while people all around was walking before him as they do their own business.
All kind of people with different background keep passing by the small set up place of where Snow was at, some people sometimes stopping by as they asked Snow some simple question while other times a quite complicated one, the people who stop by payed copper coins, sometimes being given a silver coins after Snow has calculate the answer that they wanted to know.
Yes, Snow was currently doing a fortune telling or divination at the moment and has set it up in one of the places around the busy place in the Rong Dynasty where all different people pass by.
Some are rich second generation,a martial arts men, noble ladies chuckling happily but most of all are the normal civilize people.
There wasn't any suspicious about what was Snow was currently doing because there are also other people that has set up the same thing far away from where he was at.
After two hours, a person with a tall and sturdy body appeared as he walk out a door just a few distance away from Snow location, the man has a handsome appearance with a slight overbearing air around him with his short black hair and a light blue eyes and when he was walking almost near him, Snow raise his head slightly, hands holding a slightly glowing crystal ball with a mysterious rune as he open his mouth toward the now closer man.
”I apologize but Sir, the blue ribbon in your memories seem to have been gone a long time ago.”
As soon as the words was let out, the man suddenly stop and stood till before the air around him seemed to have gone lower as he turned his head around to the person that has just spoken, seemingly knowing that he was the person that the words was meant to.
Murky gray eyes immediately locking with a wide light blue eyes, before it narrowed down dangerously as a deep voice talk to him expressionlessly.
”... What?” a single word without emotion but carried a lingering threat.
Snow remaining calm, as the crystal ball on his hand, glowed more brighter, mysterious rune start to move around as the murky gray eyes, goes unfocused after the person before him has spoken.
”The blue ribbon has change, the red line that has been destined with has mysteriously been cut down... the promise made can no longer be fulfilled... it was not forgotten but because it has change and no longer the same... AH!” a small cry of pain immediately sounded out as Snow words was cut down before his consciousness came back as murky gray eyes become focused and has locked eyes with a disturbed but hard light blue eyes that is currently staring intensely at him.
”Ah.. Sir... I apologize... I sometimes can't tell what I was saying... since I just speak what I was being shown...” Snow humbly bow his head down as he apologize to the person that was currently gripping tightly on his thin arm.
”Can you... please.. release my arm? Sir... it hurts.” Snow weakly asked with a pain voice, causing the man to lessen his grip, light blue eyes still apprehensive about what he just heard.
”Come with me.” the man said but there is a certain authority about him that his word cannot be denied, voice still remaining strong but his handsome face has been turning pale white, showing that he was not unaffected from what he just heard.
He knows that sometimes, the people who does fortune telling are not at all true and cannot be trusted but there has been a key word that has been spoken, he is unable to ignored it.
It was a certain secret that he has only known and the only other person that has known it has long been forgotten about it.
Murky gray eyes flashing with doubt, but knowing that he was unable to run away, uncertainly nodding his head before lowering his head down as he was pulled along by the man to a certain place.
Unknown to the person, Snow murky gray eyes flashing before his lip curving up a little bit.
Got you, Shao Feng.
In the third floor of a restaurant building, two people remain inside the room, while a four strong looking men was currently guarding the door outside the room.
”Explain what you has spoken.”
The man ordered as the light blue eyes flash ominously as he remember the words that he just heard from this fortune telling person, his blue eyes glancing at the slightly dim red mark on the man wrist, knowing that this person has been born a fair.
Fair person has been known for being good in mystic arts, specially has a good talent regrading in divination.
”Yes Sir.” Snow bow his head, knowing that people who does divination has more in depth about what they has just divination and known certain details about it.
Murky gray eyes flashing uncertainly, seeming afraid of what the man reaction will be about his explanation the Feng seemed to has seen the fair person unease thus he spoke to let him relax.
”Do not worry, I will not harm you. I just want to know what you just divine, but if I know that you are lying to me...” the man light blue eyes narrowing down dangerously at his last words in a threatening manner.
Snow frail body shudder before raising his head, murky gray eyes flashing in determination as he make his vow, ”Sir, Please believe me, although this humble person is not that known and famous around this place but I pledge that I have never lied about any of my divination and all the words that I has and will be spoken are all the thing that I have know and saw. There will not be a single lies about it.”
Biting one of his finger, Snow raise his now bloody finger as he raise it up as he spoken his vow before pressing it over his heart, watching as a mysterious rune appear in the air before entering and disappearing toward where Snow heart is.
Shao Feng eyes widened, he knows that vow cannot be broken or else the person will die and their soul will disappear unable to reincarnate, that is why Feng body suddenly goes stiff as deep down there was still a voice that was telling him that all of this person was telling him might not be at all true.
The last hope inside him disappeared causing his body to shudder, as he felt a bad premonition as he watch the person before him began to explain what he has just been divine.
”Sir... when I said that the blue ribbon in your memories seemed to have been gone a long time ago... it meant that person is no longer here in this world...”
”IMPOSSIBLE!” the man couldn't help but stand up and yell when he heard that words, opening his mouth to tell that he was lying before quieting down immediately as Feng remember the vow that this person has just made, and seeing that he was still alive and not dead cause him to be weak on his knees, his hand couldn't help but grip the handle on the chair to keep him standing still.
Snow biting his lip before continuing, secretly sympathizing with this person because although all of this are part of his plan, but all he has been telling are all true after all, there was not a single lie, but Snow knew that it has to be done, this person is necessary and can be use in a long run, specially for this Dynasty as this man is a really talented person, something that the Dynasty can be benefited from.
Rather than being use by his enemies because of a certain false belief, its better for Snow to use him and telling this person the truth no matter how cruel it is was the least that Snow could do and give to this person as equal exchange.
In the future that Rong Xen has died, Shao Feng has never known the truth, believing that the person he has been following all along was the person that he has been in love with, not knowing that the person has been an entirely different person.
”The blue ribbon has change, mean that it was no longer the same person, red line that has been destined with has mysteriously been cut down, meant that Sir and the real blue ribbon are destined to be together in this life but a strong powerful mysterious being has forcefully change your destiny and can no longer be together with the person in your heart in this lifetime... so the promise that Sir and the Blue Ribbon has made cannot be fulfilled since the blue ribbon is no longer the same person and was not the one that Sir has made a promise into...”
