Light of the Holy Maiden

The Overbearing Fuxing Chan (5)

Through Joshua's description, Fuxing Longyue was supposed to be a gentle person so Liang Xingbai focused on the warrior like one. However, as soon as he did so, Joshua's killing intent intensifies. Liang Xingbai had cold sweat. Although he could somewhat control Joshua, he couldn't resist if Joshua wanted to kill him. Joshua was significantly older than him after all.

'Don't tell me I got it wrong?' Liang Xingbai could only continue to smile stiffly as Bishop Nathan continued to praise his achievements in front of the two princes.

Suddenly, Liang Xingbai noticed a devious glint in the gentle prince's eyes. He was momentarily surprised before his smile got more relaxed. Now he understood why Joshua was sending killing intent his way. He shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

"Xingbai," Bishop Nathan said, bringing him closer to the gentle prince, "This is Prince Fuxing Chan."

Liang Xingbai's smile was very big that his jaw started to ache. He could only smile and make confirming noises, to tell Bishop Nathan that he understood what he was saying. It was extremely awkward for him, though he liked to maintain his image and stay as an 'obedient little boy' instead. After all, image was the most important thing, especially in the church community.

Fuxing Chan looked at the beautiful boy. The boy's smile didn't quite reach his eyes. It was very interesting... Although his pride took quite a blow, much more than usual (what did he do?). The little boy didn't respect him at all, in addition he was quite sure that the boy held bad feelings towards him. Fuxing Chan just forgot the fact that the boy was only three.

After introducing him to Fuxing Chan, Bishop Nathan brought him to the other side of the loveseat and said, "this is Prince Fuxing Longyue."

The warrior like prince sent a polite nod over. Liang Xingbai thought that there were nothing special about Fuxing Longyue except for his strong warrior-like aura and his handsome features (which he gained from his parents so logically, it's his parents' credit.). The imperial family was a family of dazzling features. Liang Xingbai could feel the killing intent subsiding and a flowery aura...

This was the typical lovestruck fool. It seemed that Joshua's eyes had an instant filter for Fuxing Longyue whenever the man was around. Liang Xingbai understood why so. To Joshua, Fuxing Longyue was his saviouis and the most important person in his heart, so of course he would be framed with beautiful flowers and covered with sparkles (put in a high pedestal).

Fuxing Chan was indeed nothing like his rumours. Liang Xingbai personally thought that Fuxing Can might look like the typical fat leecher or even the dangerous scary looking hooligans. Something like those rich tycoons in his past life. However, he looked more scholarly than he expected. Though, Liang Xingbai believed in his own eyes. He was sure that he had seen the dangerous glint.

He sure didn't expect the 'nice' and 'gentle' Fuxing Longyue to become big and brawny. He had to agree that Fuxing Longyue's pheromones oozing body was indeed the best type for Joshua, the delicate man.

It was true. Liang Xingbai felt that he could actually see those pheromones shooting out of Fuxing Longyue's pores. With only his body, he would be able to  attract three wives and four concubiles (a metaphor of attracting many women). If his abilities were up to par, he might land a powerful position in the military.

"Nice to meet your two honored selves, First Prince Fuxing Chan, Second Prince Fuxing Longyue," Liang Xingbai adressed the two, "we are very honored to receive you two."

For the kind to remember the currently isignificant Star County after all these years, it was indeed somewhat an honor. However, Liang Xingbai didn't really think so. Wasn't it supposed to be the people first, the warriors the second and the monarch the last? The King of Fu Xing was like his father, in a sense.

"So you are the the new...priest...was it? Priest Xingbai," Fuxing Chan said, smiling gently at Liang Xingbai (which honestly was very attractive), "it's a surprise to see a young child such as you being so intelligent and proper...who are your parents? I would like to meet them. They must be dignified people as well."

Liang Xingbai's face darkened. He tugged on Bishop Nathan's sleeve, indicating that he didn't want to answer. His face was ashen and his eyes watery with a bit of tears (an act, obviously.). He looked like a pitiful child. Bishop Nathan knew that Liang Xingbai's identity was a bit...troublesome, so he planned to find connections to help the boy. Marcus, seeing Liang Xingbai's unwillingness and Bishop Nathan's knowing gaze, immediately thought of a plan to throw Liang Xingbai away...stab with someone else's knife.

"I'm sorry First Prince, but Xingbai didn't seem to be willing to disclose personal informations such as his origins," Bishop Nathan said apologetically. Liang Xingbai was very happy that Fuxing CHan didn't inquire more however he could only look at Marcus coldly as the Phase Bishop blabbered things that might create the word 'doom' for Star County's churhc.

"Priest Xingbai is just uncomfortable of his identity as a thrown member of the main church...he...ah, I've said it," Marcus said leisurely, as if he accidentally said a vital information but didn't seem guilty about it at all, "I hope you don't mind, afte all we should be forgiving like the teachings the Father gave us."

Bishop Nathan's face reddened in rage and embarassment, "Marcus! We must not scheme as well! Have you forgotten about yourself after you became greedy for power?"

Marcus sneered, "Bishop Nathan, I am sure that as a Bishop, you have to be fair and just. How can you say that you are not partial towards Priest Xingbai these days? This church does not only consist of you and Priest Xingbai. Perhaps...you are the true father of Priest Xingbai and intended to protect your bastard child?"

Fuxing Chan rose an eyebrow at that. However, what took his interest was the three years old boy glaring at Marcus as if the Phase Bishop had murdered his mother and stolen from his grandfather's grave. To be honest, he knew that Liang Xingbai came from the main church. He was just interested in the rumours.

'It seemed that I got it right! There is indeed a little beauty in Star County,' Fuxing Chan grinned in his heart, 'However...thrown away?'

"Oh, you don't want to admit, Bihsop Nathan?" Marcus' tone became vile. He had lost respect for hte old Bishop since Liang Xingbai was appointed as the nest Bishop-to-be. After all, whoever that opposed to him becoming the next Bishop was equivalent to his daughter's future murderer! His daughter was the most precious thing in his life!

There was no way he would respect such a murderer.
