Chapter 1215: Myrth: 185

(Unedited)

…

When Xin Ja arrive at the lobby of the facility lodging, he saw a small figure playing with a familiar old man.

He could not help but smile when he saw the three people.

"Ey! It's Big Brother! Big Brother is here!" the little girl suddenly cried out as she runs towards Xin Ja.

The little girl hugged Xin Ja's neck and then gave him a peck on his cheek as she giggled.

Ever since he works in the 5th fortress base, he has always interacted with little Yenxi as medical master Xiang would always bring the little girl with him as her mother has been gone for a while.

This time, Madam Zhang has arrived and she directly went to Xin Ja.

"Auntie Xin, how was your trip?" Xin Ja said while greeting Madam Zhang.

Madam Zhang looks at Xin Ja with tears in her eyes. She did not know what to say this time and she did not know how to greet the young man before her.

She went to the capital and saw her cousin. The two of them talked for a while and then she suddenly asked her about her past. Her cousin was a proud woman, and she is one of the strongest Ki Adepts in the family. But she did not want to talk about her past as if it was something she did not want to recall.

Right now, she already has her own family and has a son who is also a promising seedling and a daughter. The kingdom of Jimal's royal family is now connected with her cousin's family as there were talks that her daughter has a marriage engagement with a prince of the kingdom.

Although the girl is only 13, once she reaches the age of adulthood, she will become an official princess.

With this… the Tang family in the capital has already a very high standing among the nobles.

Her cousin, Lee Ryoko, is now the main wife of the head of the Tang clan. And she holds great prestige amongst the ladies in the noble houses.

So Madam Zhang knew that her past is something that her cousin wanted to now forget.

But there was a time when she remembered that her cousin was looking for someone, and this is the reason why she visited her cousin.

However, it only caused her to be saddened and dismayed.

She did not know when her cousin has changed, but she almost could not recognize her when she saw her on that visit. She seems… different. The same face, the same voice, but she seems really different like she became distant towards her. And it made her truly sad about what became of her cousin.

Plus her cousin even introduced some noblemen from the capital to her… since she knew that Madam Zhang is already a widow.

Madam Zhang might be a widow but one thing is for sure… she still looks young and very beautiful.

That is the reason why she dare not stay long in the capital and quickly left even without telling her cousin.

She actually really fears what is happening in that place.

And so, as she looks at Xin Ja, she could not help but feel sad for him.

"My trip is really fun… I just missed this place a lot…" she said while wiping her tears.

Xin Ja is feeling a bit confused as Madam Zhang is actually crying while hugging her.

"Mama… are you sad?" little Yenxi asked while looking at her mother.

She extended her little hand and wipes the tears in Madam Zhang's eyes.

"Mama, Yenxi is here… I will not make mama sad… Okay? Yenxi will not leave mama…" she said while pouting.

Tears are already brimming in her eyes.

"Yenxi… Don't cry, baby girl… Big brother has a present for you…" Xin Ja suddenly said as his mind raced on what he could give the little girl so that she would not cry.

He suddenly takes out a visor from his pocket… of course, the visor came from his ring. He then handed the visor to the little girl.

"Eh??? What is this big brother?" Yenxi's attention went to the visor.

Madam Zhang showed a faint smile and has already calmed her emotion down.

"You wear it like this, then push this button here… and… there you go." Xin Ja said after turning on the visor.

This is one of his prototypes that would eliminate the use of those big screens inside the mecha. The visor would now serve as the screen of the pilots. This way, the mecha's shielding would be more efficient and the use of the video imaging crystals would lessen.

As the little girl played with the visor, the group went to the reception hall and calmly sits on the guest seats.

"Auntie, I heard you visited Ogden town… Did… Did you see my father?" Xin Ja suddenly asked.

"Ahh… Yes… Official Xin is very kind and very accommodating…" she said with a smile.

In fact, Madam Zhang not only meets Xin Jong but also told him about her true identity. Xin Jong did not say anything and just treated her really well. They did not talk about her cousin, instead… about the small stuff and about Xin Ja his son.

"Papa is always like that… I already told him about you… So, I hope that he really takes good care of you in the town…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

"Well, anyway… How is your job here? It seems that you are enjoying the military… Oh, I have good news… I think this war is really about to end. You will soon return home, right?"

"Really? Hmm… I guess I'll come back and finish my schooling then…" Xin Ja said as he began thinking.

"Are you going to continue being a soldier in the future?"

"Nope, I wanted to be an alchemist and at the same time, a smithing master…" Xin Ja replied almost immediately.

"Good… good… I just hope that when you get back home you'll still remember us, okay?"

"Auntie, that would take a while… Hehehe… I missed your cooking…" Xin Ja said while rubbing his nose.

"Hahaha… Cheeky brat…"

The group then left the area and went to the Zhang residence.

…

Zhang Residence in the 5th fortress

When they enter the gate, they immediately saw a familiar figure that seems to be waiting for them near the main hall of the residence.

When Xin Ja meets the eyes of Commander Zhang Baguan, there seem to be sparks flying all over the place.

Zhang Baguan frowned when he saw that Madam Zhang is with Xin Ja. He truly did not like this young man who has foiled his plans over and over again.

If he could, he would kill this brat with one strike. But he knew that the brat is a bit tricky. If he made his move, he is sure that would not be able to escape military punishment and even death. With this in mind, he could not even think of hurting the brat and could only glare at him.

The little girl in his arms is also an eyesore.

That little girl made him remember the husband of Madam Zhang. Truly hateful, he truly did not want these people around the woman he has been wanting for a long time.

"Zhang Baguan… Why are you here?" Madam Zhang said with a frown.

"Greeting Commander, sir!" Xin Ja just showed military courtesy due to the man's rank.

The little girl in his arms subconsciously removes the visor and then quickly hid her head in Xin Ja's neck. He could tell that the kid is afraid of this guy.

"Qinxin… I am just here to visit you and ask you how your trip was…" he said with a kind and gentle smile.

His words and action made Madam Zang feel shivers running down her spine.

Especially the way he looks at her, she really did not like it.

She knew that if she continues staying in the 5th fortress, sooner or later, this guy will have his way as this is what he usually does things.

So she needed to get away from this place along with her child and medical master Xiang.

Suddenly, her eyes landed on Xin Ja and an idea came to her mind.

"I am just fine… I feel a bit tired… Sorry that I could not entertain you, Commander…" she said as she walked past him.

The expression of Zhang Baguan turned serious. But he could not help but take a whip of her sweet scent.

Although he did not want to leave, he must because she seems to be not in the mood today.

But before arriving at the gate, he turns around and then muttered to himself while looking at the main hall.

"Someday… you… Liu Qinxin will be mine. And no one can stop me…"

After saying that a glint of determination appears in his eyes as he turns around and left the Zhang manor.

When Commander Zhang Baguan left, Madam Zhang slowly peeks outside and a serious expression appears on her face.

"Little Ja… Can I have a word with you?" she said as she walks back inside the main hall.
