Chapter 956: The Inner Kingdom: Shin Jiao’s Response

(Unedited)

…

Before this trouble began to go out of control, Shin Jiao has already taken Cao Binyu and her family along with Qin and her mother out of the capital city under the noses of the noble houses and the mage towers affiliated with them.

In a small village hundreds of kilometers from the capital city, inside a medium-sized courtyard, a group of people are preparing something for their lunch. This same group of people is exactly Cao Binyu and Qing with their relatives. As people who are commoners and belong to poor families, they haven't lived a luxurious life. Except for Cao Binyu who experienced a good life in the Alto Magus Academy, her parents have lived a poor life in the capital city.

Ever since she became a mage it is her dream to provide her family a wonderful and easy life. However, no matter how hard she tries it is still not enough. And now she has encountered a troublesome matter which she felt sorry for.

But it seems that the troublesome matter is actually a blessing in disguise. Cao Binyu discovered that the young student which her friend Ji Yaolin introduced to her a few days ago is actually a very rich person. He is able to buy this medium-sized courtyard without batting an eye.

At that time before escaping the capital city, they were surprised when Si Ji appears in her house. After he explained what is happening, Cao Binyu was beaded in a cold sweat. She did not expect that the matter would escalate to such a degree.

So with the offer of protection, she and her parents agreed to this proposal. They went out of the city in the cover of darkness along with Qing and her mother.

She was surprised to see things appearing out of nowhere but did not ask any questions.

And now they have been in this village for 2 days already.

So far their lives became peaceful and she for once enjoys a good life away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

"Si Ji, let's eat!" Cao Binyu called as she walks inside a room.

Inside the room, Shin Jiao is checking the pulse of Qing's mother, while Qing is beside her mother preparing her medicine.

"Hmm… Her condition is already good… 2 days and she would be able to live a normal life again." Shin Jiao said after scanning the body of the woman who has already recovered a little of her vitality.

"Thank you, Master Ji… I promise that after my mother is cured, I will serve you with all my heart…" Qing said while bowing her head.

"Hey, I did not do this for any other reason than to help." Shin Jiao said as he stood up.

"Let's have lunch first…" he said as he walks out of the room.

Cao Binyu winks at him and then said in a low voice.

"She is offering you service, why would you deny it. Qing is a beauty, I for one, am envious of her good looks. Ever since you helped them and we came to this place, her beauty became more pronounced… Why not take her as your wife?… Hehe…" Cao Binyu teased.

Shin Jiao just lifted one of his brows, and shake his head while walking to the dining room.

He has a nice lunch that afternoon and enjoyed the rest of the day in this tranquil place.

Cao Binyu knew that trouble is coming for them and that Shin Jiao is not telling them something. But she chooses to trust in him.

Before Shin Jiao left, he gave them two instructions. The 1st is not to go out of the house's vicinity for 3 days, and the next one is to not entertain any guests. 

…

In the royal palace, the king has his brows knitted while reading the report that the student named Si Ji was not found in the academy. He also discovered that the others who are involved in this troublesome matter are also not in the capital.

With a slight frown, he threw the report on the desk in front of him.

"Did the search in the nearby villages started?" the king asked the servant beside him.

"Not yet your majesty… I received news that the princes are not willing to join in this matter. Should we… force them to help?"

"No… Let these haughty noble houses do whatever they wanted. If any prince joins in, let them…" the king said with a slight smirk.

He knew who of his sons wanted the help of the noble houses to get the position of the crown prince. However, if the noble houses truly supported that guy, then the future of the kingdom would be bleak. But he knew of the truth about this world ever since becoming a king.

In this world power and wealth is irrelevant because once a person died, everything they have worked hard for in their life would follow them after their death. They would even forget everything in their life and would go through the cycle and became newborn children in a family.

He learned of this truth in the secret library and what the other kings either from the dark or light religion did. Because of this, they tried to make the lives of the people better, so that when they cycle again, they would live a good life.

But they are unable to tell this secret to others because of the curse, the curse of the kings.

Those who divulge this secret would live a horrible life until their time would come to an end. That is the curse they would get once they enter the secret library of the palace.

As he ponders of the matters in his heart several footsteps could be heard coming to the palace hall.

"Father! I have come to give my aid to the noble houses." A tall and regal-looking red-haired young man enters the hall clad in silver armor.

Beside him are two soldiers, one is a general and one is a Grand Magus. If Shin Jiao is here, he would know that this Grand Magus is the same one whom he fought at that time he killed those young nobles.

"Hmm… Do whatever you want… Just don't come crawling back with your tail under you…" the king said with a stern expression on his face.

"Thank you, father! I will now go… I assure you that I will get honor for our royal family!" the young man said with a huge and proud smile on his face.

This young man is the 2nd prince of the kingdom, Prince Xuanhui Grav.

He is one of the people who are after the position of the crown prince along with the 1st and the 3rd prince of the kingdom. However, unlike the other two princes, he lacks proper contribution and support from the noble houses.

The 1st and 3rd princes have already gotten a proper number of supporters behind them. But in this case, the 1st and 3rd princes did not join visibly and just sent their help secretly. This is because the noble houses have united and some of the opposing faction is involved in this matter. So this is a very troublesome matter for them. If they join, they might lose the support of the other noble faction that has already aligned with them.

However, the 2nd prince was advised by those standing on his side to grab this chance to help the noble houses in this manhunt. This might help him in securing his own noble house faction support.

And so, Xuanhai Grav sets out with a proud gait as he rode his stead outside.

Behind him are a number of soldiers which he gathered in this campaign.

The whole Capital city was informed of the crimes that the young man named Si Ji has committed and the court began to post the wanted list everywhere.

The city's manhunt for the culprit begins and everyone in the city is a bit taken aback at the price that the royal court is willing to fork just to apprehend the man. The amount of the reward is 1,000 mana stones which are equivalent to 100,000 gold coins.

When the people saw this, everyone became doubtful, and has the attitude of wait and see. However, the capital city rats and those in the underground slums began moving their forces to look for Si Ji.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao at this time has already entered the capital city under a new guise. He is wearing a new face which made him look like a young traveling merchant with dark blue-haired.

He already has a plan on his head and he knew that if this plan succeeded, then the capital will be enveloped in a heavy and gloomy atmosphere. People would be afraid of going out at night. Fear would be instilled in their minds, and they would think twice before uttering his name or trying to find him.

As he enters the city he already saw the wanted posters and a slight smirk appears on his face.
