- September 3, 2021 - Wednesday -
Wen Xiyang
My name is Wen Xiyang
The boy trembled a lot as he shakes Yaozui's hand
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
‘You okay?
Wen Xiyang
Huh? O- of course I- I am!
The boy look down and fiddled with his fingers nervously
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
You're trembling a lot though
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
Stuttering too..
Yaozui pointed out how peculiar he is acting
Wen Xiyang
I'm sorry I don't socialize much and I'm here all the time
Wen Xiyang whispered, though loud enough for Jiang Yaozui to hear
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
‘Come with me somewhere
Wen Xiyang
Huh? I- I can't do- do that..
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
‘Don't worry
Yaozui reached out his hand to Xiyang's forehead, he pats his head in reassurance
Wen Xiyang stared at the dazzling boy in awe, no one has treated him so kindly
Crow (S.C. Form)
«Look at this poor boy, my highness! You aren't even doing anything and he thinks you're kind already!»
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«Why is he here?»
Yaozui and crow talked with each other telepathically while he leads Xiyang somewhere
Wen Xiyang
Whe- where are we go- going?
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
Somewhere, I'll show you something
Crow (S.C. Form)
«Your highness this boy has a very huge amount of merit points, although his luck seems very downhill as of now, it's clear he was a good man in his past lives»
The crow informed Yaozui as he skimmed through the boys life in a black panel
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«So? Would that help Lu guy with anything?»
Crow (S.C. Form)
«Merit point is earned by a person all by themselves and the points you'll receive is based on what you've done and your sincerity, but no one else can use it other than the person who earned it himself»
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«If it's not his merit, what is it?»
The two ruled out the possibility of Lu Chen using Xiyang for his high merit points, as he couldn't use it
Crow (S.C. Form)
«As for his luck, it's been so bad that there's no way that's what he's after him for, technically the only thing he has is a body and if Lu Chen needs a body, the boy is a good choice since people with high merit receives healthy body or at least-»
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«At least one that would survive after a soul was switched, unlike other bodies that might die as soon as the switch is done»
Crow (S.C. Form)
«Despite his fragile body his high merit points gives his body a great soul holder power»
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«Lu Chen could only be doing this because he wants to place someone with low cultivation or a non-cultivation soul in Xiyang's body»
The two concluded after a few small talks, Yaozui's face darkened at the despicable plan
Crow (S.C. Form)
«Did that man bring you here because of that too? How dare he covet your precious body, your highness!»
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«Calm down..»
Despite Yaozui's comfort, the crow couldn't help his newfound fury
Wen Xiyang
Are- are you okay? You- your hand is ti- tight, and- ar- are we the- there yet?
Wen Xiyang's stuttering words woke Yaozui from his deep conversation with the crow
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
‘m fine, we'll get there soon, why do you reside here again?
Wen Xiyang
Uh- that- eh- I-
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
I won't tell anyone what you'll tell me
Wen Xiyang
Well, okay, uncle Lu took me here after a long talk with my parents, they didn't what to give me but for some reason I still ended up here
Wen Xiyang explained in whispers, his voice trembling a little with his body
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«Focus on his matter first»
Crow (S.C. Form)
«According to his memory that is indeed true, but there's no real mention of why he is brought here»
Wen Xiyang
Uncle never mentioned why he brought me here and he rarely sees me, if he ever visit me, he'll only look at me before turning away as soon as he can
Wen Xiyang's words overlapped with the crows, he looked down and fiddled with his free hand
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
Mn, have you gotten out lately?
Yaozui asked and then resumed walking with Xiyang further in the garden
Wen Xiyang
N- no, uncle doesn't allow it, he gets mad when I mention anything about going out or home
The boys head dropped once more because of sadness, longing seeped out of him
Crow (S.C. Form)
«The boy only meets a tutor every weekdays aside from Wednesday, and what's more their meeting is only 5 hours every morning, the rest of the day he does school works or idle around»
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«Who else can he meet?»
Crow (S.C. Form)
«The servants but they all actively avoided him if he doesn't need them, all under the instructions of Lu Chen»
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«Mn, thank you for the information, and next time don't peek on someone's memory when it's not your work»
Yaozui nodded inwardly, then sharply reminded the crow
Crow (S.C. Form)
«That's inevitable, this is my job, watching people's life and making sure nothing weird is going around»
The crow retorted anxiously, he didn't want to be viewed as meddlesome, even though he is
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«And yet things still happen around»
Crow (S.C. Form)
«Oh, come-on! I'm only one man, my people is only in the low quantity of 5! My birds sure might be more than a lot but they can only watch and report!»
Crow (S.C. Form)
«My people and I counted as one is only six! How do you expect us to deal with every single cult and weird folks around! There's more than ten thousand realms, your highness!»
Crow (S.C. Form)
«And it's not like we can actively show ourselves or interfere with every cult or weird folk problems, more on if it comes to human cycle or just humans themselves, we have limitations y'know»
The crow explained aggrievingly, his every word contains resentment cause from how tired he is from work
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
«You said too much, bye»
Yaozui once again blocked him from their communication
Crow (S.C. Form)
(You ungrateful ‘highness! Even after I helped you with info! You! You! Fine! I'll leave for now and do my job, big meanie)
The crow pouted aggrievingly before his invisible form completely disappeared
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
We've reached it
Wen Xiyang
This place is..
The two young boys looked at the flowing river and the flowery landscape
Wen Xiyang
..very beautiful
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
Isn't it? I wanted to share you my ice cream so I brought you here
Yaozui pointed somewhere, when Xiyang glanced over, he saw a cooler besides a picnic blanket
Wen Xiyang
You..want to eat with me?
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
Mn, Lu guy said if I make a friend he'll let Jin Ye go so here it is
Wen Xiyang
So you're only doing this because uncle Lu said so..
Wen Xiyang grew disappointed of what he heard, he thought the boy didn't truly like him as he initially thought
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
Don't be sad, I'm also doing this because I like you a lot more than any other person in this place so I chose you
Wen Xiyang's eyes sparkles at his words, a seed of hope started blooming on his heart
Jiang Yaozui (Disguised)
Mn, ‘like you a lot
Wen Xiyang's face beamed with happiness silently, maybe this time around he'll have a real friend..
