Legend of the Flute Swordsman

Canceling Marriage

“Dad, stop. Yang Fei told me that he doesn't love me. It's no use if I marry someone who doesn't love me, ‘kan?” li Xing Mi asked as she tried to persuade Li Yi Cheng not to force Yang Fei to marry her.

“Mr Princess, the rules cannot be changed as we please. If the Princess wishes to annul your marriage to Lord Yang Fei, then you should be able to give a reasonable excuse to the people of the Western Kingdom. Meanwhile, the reason that Master Yang Fei was a disciple of Xuan Zheng Mountain would not be accepted by the people. Therefore, if Princess and Master Yang Fei do not want to marry each other, then we should look for other reasons that are more reasonable and acceptable to the people, he said,” said Shi Ming reminded.

“So, do you think, what is the reason that can be accepted by the people?” li Xing Mi.

“In my opinion, we just say that Lord Yang Fei was poisoned by King Wang Duan and the poison is incurable so we cannot marry the Princess to Lord Yang Fei. What do you think, Princess?” shi Ming asked with a smile.

“Alright, just do as you said earlier if it can cancel my marriage to Yang Fei,” Li Xing Mi replied.

”Good, Princess. I will tell the people now.” Shi Ming saluted then left the Xiang Ping Hall.

“Greetings, Your Highness,” greet Shi Ming while saluting Li Yi Cheng.

“Shi Ming, why did you tell Xing Mi there was another way instead of persuading Yang Fei to stay here?” li Yi Cheng asked curiously.

“Your Highness, Princess and Master Yang Fei do not love each other. Moreover, Master Yang Fei was also a disciple of the Xuan Zheng Mountain Sect. Master Yang Fei could not marry because the rule for martial disciples was to eliminate worldly feelings and emotions, especially the feeling of love. If their marriage is annulled, both parties will profit. The Princess will not suffer and Mr. Yang Fei will not have to break the rules of her sect,” Shi Ming explained.

“You're right, but I think Xing Mi already loves Yang Fei. He was even willing to go to Mount Zhou to save Yang Fei. I'm worried that if this marriage is canceled, Xing Mi will feel sad,” Li Yi Cheng said.

“I'll take care of this. Please Your Highness take it easy,” Shi Ming said with a smile.

“Alright, I trust you.” Li Yi Cheng let out a long sigh.

“Thank you very much, Your Majesty,” Shi Ming said as he bowed respectfully. Then, he left the Xiang Ping Hall to meet Li Xing Mi. However, in the middle of the journey, he passed Yang Fei.

“Shi Ming,” call Yang Fei.

“Yes, Mr. Yang Fei. Do you need anything?” ask Shi Ming.

“No, I just want to say goodbye to you and Your Majesty,” replied Yang Fei.

“You want to go now?” shi Ming was shocked.

“I will be leaving tomorrow morning,” Yang Fei said with a smile.

“Ago fast. Master Yang Fei, don't you want to stay any longer?” reply Shi Ming.

“I still have to find my brother. I can't ride here too long either,” Yang Fei said.

“By the way about your sister, I've been investigating her. His last location was in Chang An City. After that, the traces of him could no longer be found anywhere,” Shi Ming explained.

“Thank you for helping me, Shi Ming.” Yang Fei smiled and patted Shi Ming on the shoulder slowly.

“Sama-sama, Mr. Yang Fei,” Shi Ming said as he saluted.

“What's up, Shi Ming?” li Xing Mi asked as she opened the door of her room.

“Nona Hua Xiang, how are you doing? Has your wound improved?” shi Ming asked as he stared at the scar on Hua Xiang's right arm.

“Already, thank you,” said Hua Xiang with a smile.

“Are you here just to ask Hua Xiang? You take it easy, he's been well taken care of here. If there is nothing else, please leave,” Li Xing Mi chirped tightly.

“No, Princess. I'd like to take you for a walk and relax in the garden of the Palace,” Shi Ming said. Li Xing Mi accepted the invitation so she walked out of her room and went to the park with Shi Ming.

“Tumben once you want to take me for a walk in the park. Usually you are always busy,” Li Xing Mi said with a smile.

“Sorry, Princess. I am usually busy and can not accompany the Princess, it is indeed my fault.” Shi Ming lowered his head as an apology.

“Hey, we're both friends from small. Now that my father isn't here, why are you still so formal with me? You make me uncomfortable talking to you,” Li Xing Mi said as she shook her head.

“Well, right now I will try to be more familiar with you,” Shi Ming said.

“Xing Mi, how do you feel?” asked Shi Ming worriedly.

“What do you mean? What feelings do you mean?” Li Xing Mi immediately turned her back from Shi Ming's face.

“Your feelings when it comes to marrying Mr. Yang Fei and finally today it is you yourself who want to cancel it,” Shi Ming explained.

“Ah, the, yes. I don't care about that unclear marriage. From the beginning, I didn't want to get married. Father who wants me to get married soon, I don't want to marry anyone,” Li Xing Mi said nervously.

“Oh, yes? In that case, why did you go to Mount Zhou to save him when there were three other warriors who could save Lord Yang Fei?” asked Shi Ming who pretended not to know.

“I just want to thank him for saving the Western kingdom from the Southern kingdom. Rather than me being forced into Wang Duan's fifth concubine, I better save Yang Fei, ‘kan?” reply Li Xing Mi in a high tone.

“So so. In that case, say goodbye to Lord Yang Fei now,” Shi Ming said.

“What? Yang Fei wants to go now?” li Xing Mi asked in surprise.

“Not now, but in a moment,” replied Shi Ming.

“Are you sure? Where is he going?” li Xing Mi said as she looked at Shi Ming's eyes to make sure that he was not lied to by Shi Ming.
