Chapter 1138: The Kingdom of Sa Er (3) “Your Highness, your sentiments are much appreciated by everyone, but you must be more careful. There are some words which are better off not spoken out loud.” The guard had no choice but to caution him.Long Xi frowned. “None of our current officials dare to speak up. If Chi Tong was still around…”“Your Highness!” The guard’s face changed the moment he heard the name Chi Tong.Long Xi also looked like he just realized something. He gritted his teeth as he swallowed his unfinished words. One of his hands was resting on the handle of his chair and without batting an eyelid, he cracked the wooden handle.

“If Chi Tong was still around and saw you doing your best to help the citizens, he would be very proud.”The amused voice of a female suddenly rang out.Long Xi instantly stood up and looked around. His guard remained beside him, his face fully vigilant.A petite figure strolled out leisurely from the back part of the room.Long Xi gave an involuntary gasp when he saw who it was.A teenage girl of about 16 to 17 years of age was standing before him. The most astonishing thing about her was her looks. Even someone as eloquent as Long Xi could not find the proper words to describe her. Follow current on novel-online.com

Beautiful, elegant, but with a sense of otherworldliness. That delicate face was flawless and was like a gift from heaven.“Who are you?” Her looks astounded long Xi, but quickly he regained his composure. How did this adolescent girl appear in his room?The girl walked up to Long Xi with unhurried steps. She couldn’t help smiling as she looked at the armed guard shielding Long Xi. Under the astonished gazes of the two, she nonchalantly sat down a chair in front of them. She propped up her chin with a fair hand and grinned at the two wary men.“I am the person who’s going to help you.”“Help me?” Long Xi narrowed his eyes. He just felt that this girl gave off a peculiar energy, which contrasted with her fairy-like aura.The girl smiled but didn’t say another word. She just raised her hand and placed a steel nameplate about half the size of a palm on the table. Follow current on storynovel.net

Long Xi was shocked when he saw that nameplate. He stared in disbelief before suddenly turning to glare at that girl.“I don’t care who you are. You better explain to me the origins of this nameplate. Otherwise, don’t even think of leaving my residence today!”“The origins of this nameplate?” The young girl raised her brows slightly, as an intriguing smile played upon her lips.“I think Your Highness should know better than me about the origins of this nameplate? After all, this was something which you gave away that time.”The word “Chi” was carved on that nameplate.Long Xi was all-too-familiar with that thing. On the day before Chi Tong first donned his armour, Long Xi had someone custom-make that nameplate, and then personally presented it to Chi Tong. When Chi Tong met with that tragic incident and his body went missing, the nameplate likewise could not be found.Long Xi never imagined that he would once again see it.Observing Long Xi’s stunned gaze, the girl didn’t intend to continue keeping him on tenterhooks. She explained, “General Chi wanted me to give this to you.”
