Chapter 117 - MYSTERY NOTIFICATION (2/2)

The crown prince finally glanced at Luo Yan before returning his gaze to Shen Ji Yun.  ”This prince understands.  Then go and take this young lady to this prince's courtyard.  This prince will talk to her later.” Then he said to the guards, ”Detain everyone from Yuexing Pavilion.”

”Yes, Your Highness,” replied the guards.

”No, please, Your Highness, we didn't know anything about this,” one of the girls pleaded.

”Y-yes, Your Highness, please…”

Luo Yan no longer heard what's next because Shen Ji Yun already lifted him up.  Actually carrying him princess style!  He thought his embarrassment wouldn't get any bigger, but no, right at this moment, it just did.  Shen Ji Yun ran out of the banquet area while carrying him in his arms, carefully not letting anything collide with Luo Yan's wounded arm.

”You don't need to carry me, I can still walk,” he said.  When he didn't receive any reply, he raised his head.  He only saw Shen Ji Yun staring straight ahead.  ”Brother Ji Yun?”

This time, Shen Ji Yun gazed down.  When their gazes collided once again, Shen Ji Yun immediately looked away as if burned or something.  ”En,” he simply said.

That's it?  He wasn't even surprised that he recognized him?  ”Brother Ji Yun, you can put me down.”

”It's faster this way.”

”But—”

He didn't manage to continue what he's saying because of the pain from the stab wound on his arm.  He felt that his whole body was slowly becoming weak.  He checked his Status Window and saw that his HP was slowly decreasing.  He even started to feel dizzy.

Shen Ji Yun quickly noticed that.  ”What's wrong?  Does it hurt?” This time, his cold voice was layered with worry.

”My HP is decreasing.”

After he said that, Shen Ji Yun dashed forward, almost moving as fast as the wind.  Soon, they arrived at a big courtyard.  Just one look and one could tell that it's grander than other courtyards in the manor.  That's probably why it was given to the crown prince as a temporary residence while he's here.

Guards were about to stop Shen Ji Yun but once they saw the jade card hanging on his belt, they let them enter.  It's probably a sign given by the crown prince and only people he trusted could have it.

Shen Ji Yun brought him to one of the empty rooms and then gently put him down on the bed.  He removed the mask covering the lower part of his face, revealing a face that was seven or eight points similar to his original face.

”What role was given to you, Brother Ji Yun?” Luo Yan asked, staring at Shen Ji Yun's face that was familiar yet not.  Although there was a bit of difference on how he usually looked, but because of his inherent temperament, no one would mistake him for anyone else.

”I'm one of the crown prince's dark guards,” Shen Ji Yun answered.

Dark guards?  If Luo Yan remembered correctly, those were elite secret force.  They protected their masters in the shadows and do everything their masters ordered.

”How do you feel?” Shen Ji Yun asked.

Although his voice was filled with worry, he was still not looking at Luo Yan.  Something that Luo Yan found very novel.

”I'm dizzy,” he said honestly.  ”And I think my HP is still decreasing.”

”Just wait a bit.  I'll bring that godly doctor here to cure you.”

But before Shen Ji Yun could leave, Luo Yan heard another notification sound.  Then a screen appeared in front of him.
