Both of the two boats could not start now, which meant that Feng XIII could not leave via the waterway. And because of the humid air and the muddy road, even if Feng XIII was strong, he had to leave some tracks behind, let alone that he had a man on his shoulder, the one with God’s blood.
Xiao Bing had never believed in the myth of the so-called “God’s blood”. Although there were some who had reached the Invincible Realm like a god, they all died eventually, for example, Zhang Sanfeng, the master of Wu-Tang Clan, and Dharma, the Shaolin Monk. So Xiao Bing did not believe one word about it.
However, this kind of blood from the people who had red pupils could increase human power several times in an instant. Although it was said that the subjects died because they could not withstand this power, no one could explain why.
Feng XIII inevitably left some footprints on the ground, and it could be discerned that Feng XIII had headed for the deep mountains.
According to Feng XIII’s cunning personality, it was not a coincidence that he stopped here. He must have had a thorough plan, otherwise, why would he drive a speedboat here? And if he had not headed straight here, Xiao Bing might not have been able to catch up with him. Feng XIII had no need to in such a desperate situation.
If everything was planned, Feng XIII would have thought of everything, even before Xiao Bing was tailing him. What happened next would not be as easy as Xiao Bing expected.
The good thing was that after two days of recuperation, Xiao Bing’s injury had almost healed. Even if he had to fight against Feng XIII face to face, Xiao Bing would definitely win. As long as he was not trapped in the impasse as he was in the Kokyo, basically no one could kill him.
At this moment, forty-eight hours had passed since the night when Xiao Bing left the Kokyo.
Princess Nami had already returned to her own manor. Iza Kawatani was on his way back to Jingdong City. His Majesty had known that the person who took away the man with God’s blood was Feng XIII, and it was started by Princess Nami’s man. Of course, he also knew that Princess Nami was innocent and had been deceived, but the person with God’s blood had been taken away, which was a heavy blow for the entire Country R. The emperor ordered Princess Nami to reflect in her manor, and she was grounded for a month.
Princess Nami had rarely been punished like this, since her childhood, but compared to the loss of the country this time, the emperor’s punishment was very slight. It seemed that the emperor was still as fond of Princess Nami. Iza Kawatani was not angry with Princess Nami when he came back, and he blamed Feng XIII, who had taken away the man with God’s blood, for everything. The important thing at present was to find Feng XIII, but no one knew if they could take back the man with God’s blood.
The Prime Minister had known about this. He was very angry, but he could not vent his anger on the princess or Iza Kawatani. Although he had the supreme right in Country R, if he wanted to punish Iza Kawatani, he would be condemned, not to mention that the other person was a royal princess. If this matter was dug into deeper, the emperor had responsibility, so the only thing that could be done for accountability was to do nothing, but find a way to salvage the situation.
The prime minister had given an order immediately: search for Feng XIII across the country. Without notifying Iza Kawatani, Feng XIII had become the top wanted criminal in the country.
Although Princess Nami had been severely punished and could not leave her manor for a month, she did not care about it at all. She had been absent-minded these two days. Actually, she was thinking about Xiao Bing every day. Yes, Xiao Bing, not the man named Aoki Ichiro.
Xiao Bing deceived her. She thought she would hate him, but she could not.
She had always faced a fake mask. She thought that she would change her mind after seeing Xiao Bing’s true face, but she did not.
It was not until Xiao Bing left that she understood that what she really loved was Xiao Bing’s real face behind the mask.
In the past two days, she did not seek fun as usual, disregarding the feelings of others. She stayed in her room every day, unable to think of anything. Tonight, she could not sleep, so she suddenly got out of bed and called the chief executive.
After hanging up, the chief executive rushed over, after a while.
He walked into Princess Nami’s room and asked, like an elder caring about his child, “What’s wrong? Why are you not asleep yet?”
Princess Nami sat by the window, sighed, and said, “I’m in a bad mood.”
“Is it because of Aoki Ichiro?” The chief executive seemed to have seen through everything, “Well, I did not expect that he would approach you with a purpose. It was my responsibility. After all, I recruited him. I want to apologize. Your Royal Highness can also punish me at will. In addition, I have started the investigation into Fukuda for more details. There should be no problems with him.”
Princess Nami said quietly, “I did not mean that.”
“Then what does Your Royal Highness mean…” In fact, the chief executive had already seen through Princess Nami. She missed Xiao Bing. But he did not say it out. In his opinion, there was no way that Xiao Bing and Princess Nami could be together. The chief executive also heard that Xiao Bing had defeated a lot of masters in the Imperial Palace. He had almost overwhelmed the other nine elders, except for the Great Patriarch in the entire elders group. Even if he and Princess Nami became a couple eventually, it was not a shame for Her Royal Highness. It was even a good thing. After all, a master of such strength, even the upper-level characters in the country, should be considered.
But the key problem now was that Xiao Bing had offended the royal family totally, and he had some ulterior motives. So no matter how good and powerful Xiao Bing was, it was impossible for him to be with Her Royal Highness. In this case, why had he bothered mentioning it? Wouldn’t it be better for Her Royal Highness to forget him earlier?
The chief executive was deliberately pretending to be confused. Princess Nami thought for a moment, and suddenly turned around to the chief executive, and giving him a serious look, said, “Chief executive, you watched me grow up from a young age, like my elders and my family. I can definitely trust you, right?”
The chief executive said solemnly, “I live to serve Your Royal Highness.”
Princess Nami said, “Then I want to ask a favor. It can only be done by you.”
The chief executive answered, “Your Royal Highness, what is it? You can give the order directly. In front of me, you can ask for anything.”
“Well, you are the only one I can ask, because it is too big a task. I want you to help me to investigate a person.”
“Oh?” The chief executive asked curiously, “Who?”
“He’s a Huaxia person. He is called Xiao Bing. I want to know his identity and where he lives. And everything about him.”
What a clever man the chief executive was! Princess Nami had already made herself clear, and how could he not know? Looking at Princess Nami, he felt sorry and pity for her. With a bitter smile, he said, “The original name of Aoki Ichiro is called Xiao Bing? And he is a Huaxia person? With all due respect, Your Royal Highness, I still think that if you are destined, you may still have a chance to be together. Although Aoki Ichiro has offended the royal family, his strength is really too powerful. He is stronger than anyone, but your grandfather, in the country. As long as he is willing to safeguard the country, even if he has done something wrong, the government will definitely consider it. They may let bygones be bygones, and he can be your grandpa’s future successor.”
“But… but he is actually a Huaxia man. If that is the case, let alone being blameless, he is still the enemy of our country. How terrible it will be if he is from another country? He is a huge threat to our country, unless he is willing to change his nationality and be a Country R’s citizen. But it will be a burning shame for someone at his level. We all know what kind of man he is. He won’t do this anyway. So he can only be our enemy. The stronger he is, the more impossible your grandpa, the emperor and even the prime minister, will allow you to be together. Your Royal Highness, do you understand?”
“I don’t understand,” Princess Nami said, “I just want you to investigate him. As for the rest, it’s up to me. Chief executive, I promised not to reveal his identity, so I can’t leave this matter to others. Only you have the power to do it in the entire Sakura Manor. If you don’t help me, or you leak out his identity, I will die in front of you.”
The chief executive froze for a moment. Then he finally shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Princess Nami, you have become a little different from the old you. Why do you have to do that?”
Princess Nami said, “Yes, I have become a different person. Then could you tell me whether I became a good person or a bad person?”
“It’s not that simple, but generally speaking… it’s good for you.”
“That’s right.” Princess Nami smiled sincerely, “but it’s all because of that person, the man who was called Aoki Ichiro.”
The chief executive was stunned. He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, Aoki Ichiro… no… Xiao Bing has changed you after all, and you have become a better person. Since Your Royal Highness has said that, then I’ll do it tomorrow. Rest assured, I will not tell anyone else.”
Princess Nami looked at the old man, bowed deeply, and said solemnly, “Thank you, chief executive.”
The chief executive looked at Princess Nami blankly, muttering to himself, “Perhaps, he really has changed you.”
