Chapter 7
Chapter 7 — Beauty B/Illness? With one kick I will kick away the Lord of War
Me and Ve Chieu once again locked the target on Thien Co Cac. Let's analyze together. If the Crown Prince can cooperate with Thien Co Cac, then the evidence used to slander my father is very likely that Thien Co Cac helped him fabricate. We just need to find the owner of Thien Co Pavilion and get evidence of the transaction between him and the Crown Prince. Then we can return our father's innocence. The owners of Thien Co Cac seem to have evaporated from the human world. From then on it never appeared again. We investigated for a very long time. But still couldn't find any useful clues. Time passes day by day. The day of the Three Companies Jury is getting closer and closer. I'm as impatient as an ant lying on a hot pan. Ve Chieu is much calmer than me. He hugged me, softly comforting me.
“If the car reaches the mountain, there must be a road.”
The night before the trial. We still haven't found any useful leads. I was almost desperate. Right at that moment. A secret guard suddenly delivered a secret letter. On the letter, there is only one correct address. Along with some time. The signature part... It's someone I didn't expect at all. I hold the letter in my hand. My hands trembled non-stop.
“It's a person!”
I said excitedly.
“It's the master!”
Ve Chieu received the letter, bowed his head and looked through it.
“It seems…”
“Her master has always been silently watching over her.”
“He asked us to meet.”
I look at him.
“This evening.”
We follow the address listed on the letter. Go to a ruined temple outside the city. In the temple. An old man with white hair and beard is facing us. I just called out. Tears immediately fell. The old man slowly turned around. See me. He just sighed softly.
“Dien Nhi.”
“You have suffered.”
It's my master.
“Where have you been all these years?”
I asked chokingly.
“It's a long story.”
Master shook his head slightly.
“Later I will slowly tell you about it.”
“Today I came here…”
“It's to tell you two something.”
He looked at Ve Chieu. The eyes are extremely complicated.
“Master Ve Marquis.”
“Actually…”
“I have long known your true identity.”
Ve Chieu did not say a word.
“You are a man of…”
“Hidden Dragon Guard.”
“Is that right?”
Hidden Dragon Ve? I immediately turned my head to look at Ve Chieu.
"Hidden Dragon Guard is the most mysterious force in the Emperor's hands, specializing in handling matters that cannot be brought to light." Master slowly explained. “Their leader has the codename ‘Dragon Head’.”
He looked towards Ve Chieu and said: "And you, are the Dragon Head of this life." I looked at Ve Chieu in surprise. And yet... he's the Emperor's man?
“Not wrong.” Finally, Ve Chieu admitted. “In the beginning, I intentionally approached her because I wanted to investigate Thien Co Cac.”
My heart feels half cold.
“So what about… your feelings for me…”
“It's true.” He looked straight into my eyes, his eyes were so sincere that there was no trace of deception. “Hoa Dien, I love you.”
This is the first time. He told me those three words. My tears refused to listen. Quietly falling.
“Okay, now is not the time to talk about these things.” Master spoke, interrupting us. “Masters... are almost here.”
“Masters?” I was stunned. “He... why did he come here?”
"To be I asked him to come.” Master replied calmly. “I use something to trade with him.”
“Treasure map of Thien Co Pavilion.”
Just finished speaking. A dark shadow appeared like a ghost right in front of the temple door.
“Have you brought the things?” The Lord's voice was still as hoarse as before.
“Brought.” Master replied. “But before I give it to you, I need you to help me with something.”
“Hand over the evidence of the transaction between you and the Crown Prince.”
The owners were silent. A long time later. He just laughed coldly.
“Do you think... just because of a treasure map, I will betray my employer?”
“You will.”
Master said calmly.
“Because…”
“That treasure map is fake.”
The master's whole body shook strongly.
“As for the real treasure map… only I know where it is.” Master looked at him and then slowly spoke. “If you want it... then bring proof in exchange.”
The masters stared at the master. His eyes seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. Right at that moment. Suddenly there was a series of rapid footsteps outside. Is the Crown Prince.
