“Hm?” Ning Chenxi frowned.
“Her name is Feng Liu.” Once the hardest part was over, Feng Liu had no problem sticking to her lie. “She’s Feng Liu, the sixth daughter of the Feng family in the imperial capital.”
“Thank you.” Ning Chenxi cupped his fists at Feng Liu, then turned around and left.
Feng Liu… Feng Liu… what a nice name. After this was over, he would ask his mother to propose a marriage to her family. Ning Chenxi grinned.
Once Ning Chenxi was out of sight, Feng Yiran’s face darkened!
“Feng Liu!” Feng Yiran glowered at Feng Liu. “Who are you trying to fool with such a lousy lie?! How long do you think you can fool him for?!”
“As long as it takes. The Ning family will have to come to me if they want to thank Feng Wu later, and I’ll just turn them down. I’m not going to let Feng Wu take the credit!” Feng Liu said carelessly.
Feng Yiran didn’t know what to say to that…
Completely absorbed in saving the wounded, Feng Wu had no idea that Feng Liu had taken the credit in her place…
Standing on top of the city wall, Ning Chenxi downed the repellent potion. The next second, he jumped into the densely-packed horde of magical beasts!
As he ran past them, for a split second, the beasts forgot about attacking him!
And that one moment was all Ning Chenxi needed!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ning Chenxi ran at his top speed and wove through the crowd despite the great danger!
Once they began to realize what was going on, the magical beasts chased him frantically while Ning Chenxi rode off as fast as he could on horseback!
As he fled past numerous old trees, the magical beasts kept getting closer and closer!
They were almost on him —
At that critical moment —
“Why, Boss Jun, you were right. There really is a wave of magical beasts —”
If Feng Wu was here, she would recognize that voice right away.
It belonged to none other than Feng Xun, the young lord of the Feng family, himself!
High up on a mountain slope, Feng Xun, Xuan Yi and Jun Linyuan were sitting on horses as they watched the person gallop off on horseback with all the beasts chasing him.
Feng Xun chuckled. “This must be the worst day of that guy’s life. Look at all those magical beasts! If I’m guessing right, he’ll be surrounded in less than a minute…”
Jun Linyuan darted a casual look at Feng Xun. “It’s time for you to save him now.”
Feng Xun rubbed his nose. “Boss Jun, I can’t fight all those magical beasts down there. It’ll be too risky. I don’t want to get myself killed to save him…”
“You’ll regret it,” said Jun Linyuan indifferently.
“Regret? Why? Wait, why does that guy look so familiar?” Feng Xun craned his neck.
Xuan Yi frowned a little. “He looks familiar to me, too…”
“Shit!”
Feng Xun cried out when the teenager was close enough. No wonder he found the guy familiar! It was his cousin, whom he had met just a while ago! No wonder Boss Jun told him to save the guy before he regretted it!
“Chenxi! Ning Chenxi!” Feng Xun dashed off on horseback down the mountain slope!
Ning Chenxi was overwhelmed with consternation at that moment. Who wouldn’t be, chased by so many magical beasts? The closer the beasts got, the more perturbed he became.
Ning Chenxi found that familiar voice the most pleasant sound he had ever heard. Was despair giving him hallucinations now?
