Chapter 82: A Brotherly Spat

“Your majesty, what are you thinking about?” Said Lian Jiuhua with a gentle smile, asshe silently crouched beside Han Moze.

Han Moze turned his head and refrained from smiling. “Lian Jiuhua, don’t you know it’s really bad to peep on me as I bathe?” He said chillingly.

Lian Jiuhua smiled helplessly. What does he and the majesty have left to hide? “If your majesty doesn’t welcome me, then I’ll leave,” he said with raised eyebrows.

Han Moze let out a discreet sigh. Why did he have an older brother figure like him? “Why are you here?” He said coldly and helplessly.

“I am your majesty’s first ranking shadow guard, so of course I’m here to protect your majesty,” said Lian Jiuhua unabashedly.

Han Moze couldn’t help but grunt coldly. “I must have been crazy to have appointed you first ranking shadow guard. There aren’t many days in the year when you’re on duty,” he said with a chilling voice.

“Your majesty, you have three second ranking shadow guards, six third ranking shadow guards, seven fourth ranking shadow guards, and nine fifth ranking shadow guards. Then, on top of it all, your majesty’s martial art skills are unrivalled. Do you still need my protection?” Asked Lian Jiuhua in a matter-of-fact way.

Han Moze’s complexion turned instantly glum. This was the first ranking shadow guard that he chose? This person who took his prestige and live a carefree and comfortable life beyond compare?

Lian Jiuhua glanced at Han Moze’s glum expression and grinned. “Don’t tell me that your majesty is jealous of me?”

Han Moze clenched both his hands. There’s no one in this world as brazen as Lian Jiuhua.

“If you’re here to anger me, then you may go back,” he said with a crisp voice after taking a deep breath.

Lian Jiuhua snickered and crossed his arms. “Your majesty, what did you come across on this trip? Do tell me.”

“Why ask when you disappeared when I asked you to escort me?” Han Moze said with a frosty voice and gritted teeth.

“I didn’t know of this,” lied Lian Jiuhua without so much as a blink.

“Lian Jiuhua, do you want me to indict you for disrespecting the Emperor?” Han Moze grunted coldly.

Han Moze gritted his teeth, turned and raised his arm. With a grab of Lian Jiuhua’s arm, he yanked Lian Jiuhua into the water.

*Splash!*

Lian Jiuhua abruptly fell into the water and stood up completely drenched! He used his hands to wipe the water from his face. “Your majesty, there must be a cure for your love of using martial arts,” he said in disatisfaction.

Han Moze looked at Lian Jiuhua all soaked and pulled a wicked smile. This was how one must treat a shameless person.

Lian Jiuhua looked at the incredibly familiar smile on Han Moze’s face and thought back to when they were little. Since Han Moze’s martial arts skills were better than his, he would always mess with Han Moze and get seriously bruised up. Afterwards, Han Moze would reveal that very same smile.

Lian Jiuhua blinked slightly, then swiftly scooped up some water and poured it over Han Moze.

Han Moze conjured ice with his inner breath and instantly froze a radius of one foot all around them.

Lian Jiuhua swiftly flew out of the hot spring. He never imagined that Han Moze had trained his ice inner breath to such an incredible level. He was never this sharp when they were young.

He giggled, as he stood on the edges of the hot spring. “The water all around you has frozen now, so how are you meant to bathe?” He exclaimed, pleased with himself.

Han Moze smirked coldly, then twirled his inner breath. In an instant, the ice all around him cracked into pieces, as he then walked to the other side of the hot springs and continued to bathe.

Lian Jiuhua’s body tensed up. He thought Han Moze would be trapped just how he did when they were young. In his heart, he let out a discreet sigh. He was too naive. Things were now different from before.

Whilst he was daydreaming, many little shards of ice came flying at him. Seriously stunned, Lian Jiuhua immediately dodged, but in the end, he was one step too slow! Numerous ice shards hit his body with a *thump thump thump!*

“Ah ah ah… Your majesty, for the sake of our brotherhood, why didn’t you show some mercy?” Cried Lian Jiuhua in pain, as he reached his hand out to rub the area he was hit.
