Vol 1 Chapter 10 (1/2)

By that point, it was difficult for me to remember the name Yin Qie Zi

Why did I impulsively choose Yin Qie Zi as a fake name?

Why did I decide to use silver-purple hair as disguise?

Perhaps, I was still ignorantly following behind the line, on the sa

–Gong Hua

The next few days passed calmly Maybe it was because Mila still wasn’t sure whether Yin Qie Zi was planning to save the Leaves, but she kept following hi him to accompany her

Despite that, Yin Qie Zi still felt free to do whatever he wanted, especially since many of his interests coincided with Mila’s The two of them were particularly interested in spirit elixirs It was just that Mila had never found a spirit binder to be her teacher, so she knewonly theories, and no practical methods

“Are you fine with not being my teacher?” Mila asked worriedly “Spirit binders can only pass on their knowledge to their students, right?”

Yin Qie Zi immediately clarified in a serious tone, “I don’t need students, and I’ you a birthday present”

Mila broke out in laughter and did not ain

The ether was to silently read in the personal library They researched on the Leaf Tribe and tried to find out the reason Yin Qie Zi lost his powers

There was one hobby of Mila’s that Yin Qie Zi was not fond of – floral arrangee the hobby and have Yin Qie Zi push her to the garden so they could look at and appreciate the flowers instead Sometimes, Yin Qie Zi would even perform swordplay for her to watch

Everything proceeded smoothly, other than the fact that Fenny was constantly with theh He still had tiain Mila’s trust… First he had to wait for Owen to drink the red potion before he can start on his plan

Hehappened to one of them, the other would be immediately strictly hidden and protected

“Yin Qie Zi? Yin Qie Zi, are you listening to me?”

Yin Qie Zi snapped back to his senses and saw Mila’s doubtful expression He hurriedly asked, “What is it? Are you tired?”

Mila s?”

“Sorry” Yin Qie Zi answered vaguely “I was just thinking of a recipe for some spirit medicine”

“As expected of a spirit binder”

Hearing Mila say that, Yin QieZi nodded “Spirit binding is really fun”

As opposed to Spiritmancers, he was honestly interested in this occupation It wasn’t just a lie to bait Owen that he had startedspirit medicine

“Too bad I’”Mila faintly sood”

Yin QieZi nodded, and said directly, “Your spirit-linking ability is strong You’d be a good fit to become a spirit charmer”

“Sadly, I…” Mila looked down at her legs Although the accident happened when she was a young child She had already accepted the fact that she couldn’t be on the road Still, soretful

“Spirit charmers don’t have to join into battle There are many areas were spirit charmers can help out”

Mila smiled, “But none of them need my help”

Yin Qie Zi was speechless That’s right They couldn’t have the daughter of a s around or build houses, could they?

“Learning spirit-binding in itself is very enjoyable There’s no need to put it to use!” Mila was fairly optis I want to learn That’s already irls in noble fah it’s s, he always thinks he didn’t protectme…”

Reaching that point, Mila cohterly, “But he’s honestly too strict There’s always a pile of soldiers and bodyguards wherever I go It’s the sa over you at everythis noble lady façade”

You should thank hiht protection, both you and Oould have died by my hands already!

Yin Qie Zi grinned lightly, “There’s no helping it You’re his only daughter!”

“Owen is also Dad’s only son! Then again, Dad is very strict on Owen as well” Mila forced a s “Oh, right Thank you for the costly gift you gave Owen He was really happy”

Yin Qie Zi responded plainly, “It’s not all that precious Owen ifts”

Mila shook her head, explaining, “Soift to Owen once, but Dad yelled at hiift on the spot Froifts On the other hand, mine became more and more costly and expensive”

Probably because Warlord Paladin’s love for his daughter had been ringing louder and louder, Yin QieZi thought to himself

“Owen never said anything about this…, but I know he still cares about it a little” Mila clasped her hands and begged, “So would you please, give him a birthday present every year from now on?”

Next year… Yin Qin Zie simply replied with, “Mm”

“That’s great!” Mila happily said, and then turned to ask Fenny, “Fenny, is it time for dinner?”

Fenny quickly replied, “The servants haven’t called us yet, so I’ Mr Yin Qie Zi take you for a walk around the gardens to while away the time?”

Without waiting for Mila’s reply, Yin Qie Zi nodded, “Let’s go then”

The two quietly walked through the gardens, though only one of the Fenny followed after them, but she was considerate to keep three steps behind

So they trust h to stay three steps away? Inwardly, Yin Qie Zi couldn’t help but give a faint smile

When Yin Qie Zi pushed Mila’s wheelchair under a tree, he suddenly stopped He stood quietly in the tree’s shade and enjoyed the coolness of the air

Mila didn’t find this strange; she knew Yin Qie Zi liked to read while sitting under a tree It had to do with the fact that he was a Flower, for Floere the children of trees She understandingly suggested, “Let’s take a rest here!”

Yin Qie Zi nodded Aftersure Mila’s wheelchair was properly parked, he took his usual spot on the ground When he raised his head, he saw Mila looking him, eyes filled with expectation Yin Qie Zi hesitated and asked, “What is it?”

“Can I sit together with you on the ground?” Mila asked with longing in her voice

Yin Qie Zi paused and looked towards Fenny, but the latter merely blinked at him innocently Fenny then said, “Mr Yin Qie Zi, you can’t possibly be expecting a weak and delicate girl like ht?”

A weak and delicate girl…?

Yin Qie Zi fixed Fenny with a suspicious stare But the latter continued acting weak, pretending that it had been someone else who had deflected the assassin’s knife with a sword last time

Although girls belonging to the nobility couldn’t easily be touched, if it was Mila’s own request, then there shouldn’t be any probleht? Yin Qie Zi didn’t dwell too much on the topic He stood up, lifted Mila froround He even thoughtfully chose a coainst the tree’s trunk and roots

Mila sh you can use a sword, you look so very thin and weak You don’t have the appearance of soth”

Yin Qie Zi sat down When he heard those words he smiled, “I’m not human, remember?”

“Ah…”

Mila deliberately exaggerated her sudden realization, h

“Is it strange? I’m a Flower; I’m…” Yin Qie Zi paused, and then said, “I’m a physical spirit”

Hearing this, Mila turned to look at him She appeared somewhat hesitant, but still opened her mouth to speak “Yin Qie Zi, I couldn’t find the reason as to why you lost your powers in our library However, I’ve asked Edward to search for books on it in the royal library… Don’t worry! I didn’t tell hi about you Besides, I’ve always been interested in the Leaf Tribe He won’t suspect a thing!”

Upon hearing those words, Yin Qie Zi finally regained his calht then and there

Seeing that Yin Qie Zi had cal

“Edward couldn’t find any uardian Flower There was a book, however, that talked about the existence of physical spirits The book described physical spirits to be e about recklessly, they would definitely cause devastating destruction But fortunately, that sort of destruction has never happened before This is because there’salways a purpose to the existence of physical spirits It could even be said that they exist purely because of that purpose Due to this, they would not easily stray away from the path of their purpose But when they do…”

Mila saw the sudden change in Yin Qie Zi’s expression She paused in her words and chewed on her bottom lip She knew that the words she was about to say would hurt Yin Qie Zi, so she was afraid to speak theoing to say, there would be no point if she didn’t finish her words So Mila opened her mouth and finished her sentence

Faced with Mila’s worried expression, Yin Qie Zi only gave a faint smile

From the outset, there was no purpose for an abandoned Flower

Looking at Yin Qie Zi’s coe and carefully went on “As far as I know, the purpose of a Flower is to protect the members of the Leaf Tribe… Yin Qie Zi, when you lost your powers, did you try to use it for so other than protection? So much that it could be considered the co?”

Yin Qie Zi stayed quiet for a moment, but reluctantly spoke afterwards, “I don’t think that’s the reason… Long before I lost ’ purposes”

Mila gave a blank stare, but quickly replied, “Oh! So that’s how it is Then you couldn’t have lost your powers because of that We’ll keep searching then!”

“Alright”

“Yin Qie Zi…” Mila hesitated, but went on “The Danya People who’re here for the peace offering have already arrived In two days, they will return to the Continent of Xiasha together with the offering Those Leaves… Do you want to see them once before they are taken away? Perhaps Owen and Edward can take you there”

“No, if I go, they reat problest hu time now I enjoy these peaceful days”

“Yes, passing your days peacefully truly is great!”

After Mila finished speaking, the two of the But the atmosphere wasn’t filled with aard silence; instead, it was extre hot, a cool breeze continuously blew under the tree While it wasn’t yet tiarden to be filled with flowers, there were still reen leaves

The color of sunflowers suddenly blew past Yin Qie Zi’s vision He puzzledly turned his head to look It turned out to be strands of Mila’s hair that had been blown loose by the wind Yin Qie Zi unconsciously reached out a hand and caught wisps of hair in his fingers He then tucked the loose strands neatly behind Mila’s ear, co how inappropriate an act it was

However, Mila didn’t say anything She merely reached out a hand to touch Yin Qie Zi’s braid “Your hair color truly is unique,” She praised

When Yin Qie Zi felt the fingers on his braid, he reacted “Don’t touch it!” He cried out in alarm

“Huh?” Mila quickly withdrew her hand She then exclaimed, “Ah! Sorry, I heard froot in the moment…”

Yin Qie Zi blushed and said quietly, “Don’t worry about it”

Mila was a little bewildered at Yin Qie Zi’s abnormal reaction On the other hand, Yin Qie Zi felt a little aard Since Mila already kneas a Flower, there was no har her about the peculiarities of his hair But just then, she had touched his braid If he suddenly told her that his hair was capable of having sensations… It probably wouldn’t be good

At that moment, Mila let out a surprised cry “Who’s that?”

Yin Qie Zi raised his head The person he saw had his entire body hidden underneath a cloak His face was even covered with a veil “That’s my servant, Litelli”

Litelli walked all the way in front of them and stood still
