Mad Crown Princess
Chapters. 17 - Seven Secrets
Moments earlier, Tao Sonyun rode his horse to get into the forest that he thought was the place of criminals. However, when they reached the middle of the forest, the horse suddenly stopped and did not want to continue its journey.
”People in the village say that this place is full of wild animals. But this place is also a nest for criminals. Come onl. The villagers are very hopeful for both of us. We must continue the journey.” Tao said Sonyun while stroking his horse's hair. However, his horse remained motionless for fear of what was already in front of his eyes.
Tao Sonyun sighed because he felt unsure that he could seduce his horse. He finally came down from his back and walked into the forest in front of him. With a sword that had slipped out of its sheath, he stepped slowly without a sound as he entered it.
Dark shadows are all around it. The snoring sound of a sleeping savage beast, was clearly heard in his ears at this moment. The soil is moist and filled with puddles of water, making Tao Sonyun's steps feel heavy and making a slight sound. Even so, he was very sure that the hearing of the ferocious beasts here was sharper than human hearing.
And sure enough, as he stepped in the middle of the tall moist grass, there was the sound of a snake hissing nearby. He immediately dodged and stayed away from the sound. With the extremely tall grass, it was impossible for him to see how many snakes were attacking him.
Without thinking, he immediately ran back into the forest and away from the tall grass there. He probably managed to avoid the attack of the caterpillar. However, this move of his carried him before a black-robed young man who was smiling smirked towards him.
A second later, five large wolves surrounded him from all directions. His attention was ceaselessly staring at the face of the black hooded young man who was the cause of the appearance of the beasts around him.
Once he found out, Tao Sonyun immediately drew his sword and dashed towards the young man standing there. However, a wolf appeared in front of him and immediately threw him down to make him push back. Not getting there, Tao Sonyun threw some dagger at the wolf. However, this attack could not hurt him.
”Your Highness the seventh Prince, Tao Sonyun. Nice to meet you.” said the young man while greeting him.
Tao Sonyun looked at him seriously and asked, ”Who are you? Are you the one who called these beasts?”
The young man smiled and replied, ”I can't tell His Majesty for now. Your majesty probably won't believe my words.”
Tao Sonyun clucked in annoyance and asked, ”What do you mean I won't believe it?! Just tell me what really happened! You're the one who's taken the property of the people in Hui village, aren't you?” he said it out loud.
The young man laughed and said, ”That has absolutely nothing to do with me. It seems, Your Majesty has misunderstood me.”
”Then, who are you? There's no way you're not part of the villains in Hui village!”
”Haah, Your Majesty does not understand my words at all.” said the young man as he walked closer to him and Tao Sonyun tried to step back away from him. ”... Let me explain to you, Your Majesty. The world has seven secrets no ordinary person should know. From the youngest. They were the Spring Flower, the Waves of death, the Earth guardian Sun, the Lightning of the heavens, the Winter Flute, the Queen of the gatekeepers of death and the first, Her Majesty the Dragon King. Hearing this, perhaps His Majesty will immediately know that I am the Earth's guardian Sun. And since His Majesty already knew this secret, I was forced to kill you.”
After ending his sentence, the young man immediately pushed Tao Sonyun into the abyss that was behind him. As he continued to stare at his cold face, Tao Sonyun was unaware of the death that had been waiting for him. Then, after that he was unconscious when he landed on the surface of the river.

”If you are awake, quickly open your eyes! Don't make us wait!” snapped at a young man who seemed to be right near him.
Slowly, Tao Sonyun tried to open his eyes. He saw a roof made of brittle wood eaten by termites. In addition, he also had time to breathe the aroma of wheat porridge that had just been cooked. ”... Where's this?” asked Tao Sonyun who looked confused. After that, he looked towards a young man who had a face shining like the sun.
”Thank you first and I will tell you everything!” chirps youth.
Then, suddenly there was the voice of a girl who explained, ”Your Majesty fell from the top of the abyss and was dying. Then, Master Magician saved His Majesty before you actually died.”
Hearing this voice, Tao Sonyun's attention was immediately directed at a 14-year-old girl who was holding a bowl of wheat porridge for him. His expression was shocked after he found out that this girl was Shu Qingzhi who should have been dead. Then, the young man who had previously spoken to him was Shangguan Wei. But at the moment, I don't know him.
Tao Sonyun immediately sat down from his position and asked, ”How did the Princess get to this place? Didn't you fall from the cliff and not survive?”
Shu Qingzhi fell silent and looked at him in confusion. Then, Shangguan Wei pulled on Tao Sonyun's shoulder to make him look at his face directly. ”Do not touch and do not talk to my empress!” he said coldly which made Tao Sonyun immediately stop talking.
From behind, Shu Qingzhi patted Tao Sonyun's shoulder to make her turn towards him. ”... A weak body should be filled with food even a little. Come here.” said Shu Qingzhi while giving a spoon containing his wheat porridge.
Realizing that Shu Qingzhi was trying to feed Tao Sonyun, Shangguan Wei immediately walked up to him and took his porridge bowl. ”Let me do it. You just rest. Anyway, it's getting dark.”
Shu Qingzhi was stunned and directly stared towards Shangguan Wei next to him. ”But, does the Master of Witches know how to treat the sick?”
”He can't seem to, Miss!” tirak Tao Sonyun.
”Of course I can do it. I am a magician who can do everything.” replied Shangguan Wei while covering Tao Sonyun's mouth.
Shu Qingzhi was speechless. A few seconds later, he replied, ”Thank you.” after that he immediately left them both.
”Whatever why, I feel that the man is not a human.” Inner Tao Sonyun who directly looked at Shangguan Wei. However, he never realized that his words were capable of being heard by Shangguan Wei.
While throwing away his spoon, Shangguan Wei irritatedly lifted his bowl up and said coldly, ”Nah! Human boy! Come here! Say Aaa..”
”......”
