16 - Being Followed

Chapter 16: Being Followed

Li Wei came back home with the rolled poster in hand. She saw Feng An and Meimei who was about to call her but stop them by putting her finger to her mouth. Mouthing them with an 'shhh.'

She's aware that she's being followed.

"Who are you?!" Feng An loud voice echoed in the mountain.

Grabbing the devil mask inside her robe. She said, "I am White Rose. I'm here to kill a person." she smirks.

"What?!" Meimei said with exaggeration. Her eyes wide as an owl and her mouth agape like a fish wanting some air. Her funny expression almost made Li Wei burst out laughing.

"You can't lay a hand with my lady! Over my dead body!" Feng An was a good actor. His facial expressions look natural. Li Wei would never know that, inside Feng An's heart, he was really embarrassed.

"Loyal servants?" she snorted "Do you wish to die? Protecting a waste like her is not worth it."

Right now, Meimei is angry! She was imagining that the cloaked person is not Li Wei but another person. What she heard from her made her mad!

"My lady is not a waste! Just you wait! She'll definitely kick your ass!"

"Ah~ this made my day. Kick my ass? Let see. I'll be waiting for her. Give this message to her, get stronger and will come face to face soon." She said and disappeared.

Meimei looked at Feng An questioningly.

"Feng An, what are we doing this?" She asked scratching her cheek.

"Our young lady is being followed. Someone must be suspicious that she's White Rose. If they saw her entering this mansion, someone might send people to capture our miss and execute her."

"With these many white roses as evidence, I'm afraid that they will go suspect our miss."

"Then, let's cut the roses and throw away the evidence!"

"Silly, do you think our young miss will agree to cut her favorite flower and throw them away?"

"N-no, then what should we do?"

"Then...let's create an illusion to deceive them!"

"Great idea! But Feng An, our magic power will reduce. You know we're not that powerful. That cunning witch restricts our training in magic."

"It's no problem. We just have to rest. Do you prefer for our young lady to get in trouble?"

"No! Of course! not Let's get it ready!"

Then the two servants started working to create an illusion using their magic.

Meanwhile, Li Wei runs towards the inside of the forest. The black-clothed man followed her. She throws three roses at the same time, the man dodges them. 

A dagger appeared in her hands. Li Wei throws five pieces of roses, and sneakily throw the dagger.

The man didn't notice the dagger and when he turned to look back at her, he saw a light glint, the dagger grazes his shoulder.

He saw her smile.

'This girl is scary.'

He was a 7th-star cultivator and for the past years, no one has ever made a cut from his body except his master. Then, what he heard earlier. This White Rose and that young lady aren't one? They're different people.

'I must report this to Master.'

Li Wei throws several daggers and roses as she leaps up in the air. Her cloak fluttered, spreading like wings.

The black-clothed man grabbed his sword and deflect the daggers and cut the roses in two.

'Even if it was just a normal rose, the attack speed is really sharp and solid just like the daggers. How did she do that? And to a normal flower?'

Suddenly, while following her, the man instantly changes course. Li Wei followed the man, but she doesn't see the black-clothed man anymore.

She frowns.

"Did he grew tired from chasing me?" She asked puffing his cheek.

**********

In the Prince home, in his bedchamber. A black-clothed man kneeled in one knee to the man sitting domineeringly.

"My lord, miss Li Wei and White Rose are not the same people. Earlier, White Rose came to her house wanting to take her life but her servants stubbornly didn't want that to happen."

"Really? Speak more."

"Yes. White Rose even called the lady a waste and her two loyal servants protecting her is not worth it. But, White Rose seems to be amused by the two servants and pass a message to her. White Rose said to be stronger and they will face each other soon."

The Prince rubbed his chin in thought. 'They are different people? Why can't I accept this piece of news?'

"Are there no suspicious action?" He asked.

"There are no suspicious action my lord."

"Okay. You may leave."

Prince Liu Xu looked outside his window.

A cold smile form into his lips.

"Li Wei, are you playing games with me? Or is it really you two are different people?" His sword like brows knitted his brows. The bright moon showed his cold and handsome face.

"This time, I'll watch your every move."
