Chapter 634 Owe Me An Exnation (Part One)


    Chodak left chicly and resolutely without turning back or hesitating. He was as swift as a breeze


    blowing across theke, raising ayer of ripples, and then in the next moment, peace was resumed


    and he was gone without even a trace.

    Bored to death, Harper leafed through the Buddhist scripture. "Matthew, Chodak…" she mumbled.


    "Chodak doesn''t exist anymore. He died by the side of theke. From now on, the person who is alive


    will be Rndo, the crown prince of the Great Jade Kingdom," Matthew said while dealing with the


    letters he had received. "The emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom is terminally ill. Being the crown


    prince, he can''t stay here any longer."


    "Even though his father is terminally ill, he is only a deposed crown prince…" Harper paused for a while


    as something came to her mind all of a sudden. "Why on earth was he deprived of the title of the crown


    prince in the first ce?"


    "One reason was that he enjoyed high prestige, making his father view him as a threat; another reason


    was that he wanted to look for the Heavenly Books," Matthew sneered. "He is decisive and always


    maintains a low profile. To avoid suspicion, he even shaved his head and became a monk. Nobody


    would look for a former crown prince among monks."


    "So, you know all the things about him," Harper said casually. "Although I am not sure why you had let


    him stay in the Bright Dynasty, I''m quite sure that you must have struck a deal with him."


    "Yes, you''re right. I was poisoned once, and he was the one who saved my life with a pill. So, I


    provided him with a shelter in return." Matthew exined the reason. For him, it was not a bad deal to


    exchange a shelter for his life.


    Suddenly, someone knocked at the door and called out, "Your Highness."


    Harper went for the door, and when she opened it, there was a young monk waiting outside. "What''s


    the matter?" she asked.


    "Your Highness, our grandmaster ordered me to invite His Highness to y a game of Go," the young


    monk said respectfully, after devoutly putting his palms together.


    Hearing that, Matthew put away the letters he still hadn''t dealt with and said, "All right. I''ve long wanted


    to y a game of Go with Master Thubten. Now that I''m not too busy, I''ll be happy toe. Harp, you


    may have a nap. I''ll be back soon."


    "Okay, go ahead," Harper said, nodding her head. As a matter of fact, Master Thubten was highly


    respected and admired bymon people, and enjoyed a higher status than Chodak. Now that


    Chodak had taken his leave abruptly, Matthew had to exin the whole situation to Master Thubten.


    After he left, Harper stretched herself, intending to rx and have a sleep. All of a sudden, a gust of


    wind blew in and extinguished the candle in the room. Harper was alerted, but she didn''t move an inch.


    She narrowed her eyes slightly and tried to figure out what was happening.


    Suddenly, the candle was ignited once again. Harper saw a man in scarlet red sitting at the table. She


    was quick to recognize him as Marquis Scarlet.


    With her eyes half closed, Harper moved her fingers, intending to strike at him. However, Marquis


    Scarlet addressed her before she could get closer, "Dear junior sister, you turned so heartless that you


    even set me up."


    But hearing his words, Harper was astounded. ''Junior sister? Who is he talking with?'' she thought to


    herself. She looked around to see who else was present in the room other than Marquis Scarlet and


    her. But surprisingly, there was none. So, the man was referring to her as his junior sister?


    Despite the confusion in her heart, Harper sat down, maintaining her calm. "I have no idea what you


    are talking about, Marquis Scarlet," she said.


    "Junior sister, I never thought you would be so ruthless. After you went down the mountain, you even


    didn''t recognize me as your ssmate. If you remember, we were ssmates for five years. During


    those five years, we had spent a lot of time learning together. But you seem to havepletely


    abandoned our friendship." As he looked at Harper''s face, Marquis Scarlet suddenlyughed grimly.


    What Francis had said was true. He had been so stupid that he hadn''t found out that the woman in


    front of him was his junior sister.


    Suddenly, Marquis Scarlet made a quick move and rushed towards Harper. However, she was quick to


    dodge his attack, as if she could foresee what he was about to do. After failing in his first blow, Marquis


    Scarletunched another attack, but Harper dodged it again. Marquis Scarlet didn''t use his internal


    force. The two of them exchanged more than a dozen blows by making use of the catch skills that


    Harper was familiar with.


    "Stop!" Harper called to a halt.


    "Your Highness," Fred greeted Harper as he rushed into the room fearing something was wrong. But


    there was no one but Harper in the room. The window was open, and a gust of cold wind was blowing


    in.


    "Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Fred asked.


    "I''m fine. You may leave now," Harper said. She walked to the window and closed it. But she was


    shocked and surprised, wondering what was going on. How could it be possible? How was Marquis


    Scarlet able to use catch skills? Not everyone knew how to use it.


    Harper organized her memories—the memories she had, the broken memories of the original Harper


    from the Bright Dynasty. No matter how hard she tried, she was unsessful in putting those missing


    memories together. She had her memories intact only from those incidents from the ce of execution.


    "What''s going on? Why?" Harper mumbled to herself, stroking her head. She was so distressed and


    felt a headache. She didn''t know whether the original Harper had something to do with Marquis Scarlet


    or she herself had something to do with him. In her faint memory, she had a father and an elder


    brother. But if she had some connection with Marquis Scarlet, what appeared in her memory wouldn''t


    be true.


    As soon as he left Harper''s room, Marquis Scarlet was stopped by Barry. Without uttering a single


    word, Barry brandished his sword at him. Without any fear, Marquis Scarlet fought back against Barry.


    He was no match for Matthew, but his strength was enough to crush Barry.


    Finally, Barry was knocked down by Marquis Scarlet, and then he made a quick escape. With no dy,


    Barry responded by sending a signal re to notify Matthew. Matthew saw the signal blossoming in the


    sky while he was ying the game of Go with Master Thubten. He looked at the master and asked,


    "Master Thubten, monks never lie. Did you really call me here to y Go with you?"


    Putting his palms together devoutly, Thubten said, "Amitabha. Please forgive me, Your Highness.


    Someone asked me to invite you to y Go with you."


    "Good strategy! You were sessful in luring me away from Harper," Matthewmented in a calm


    and collected manner. "You are someone who has been disillusioned with the mortal world, right?


    Then, why did you still get involved in the worldly affairs?"
