After the war 13 years ago, the Junwu Empire had been keeping a low profile. It was because of Jun Linyuan that the empire gained fame again.
Compared with assassinating Emperor Wu, they would rather kill Jun Linyuan.
“Your body will be in danger.” Feng Wu stared at Jun Linyuan.
The crown prince said, “I know.”
Feng Wu took his hands. “Aren’t you worried?”
Jun Linyuan smiled but didn’t say anything.
Feng Wu asked, “What’s the primary stage? Why did that ninja notice the difference?”
Jun Linyuan said, “You’re too far below that stage now, and it won’t do you any good to know too much. As for why he noticed it…”
He glanced at Feng Wu, but before he could say anything, he was caught in a fit of coughing again.
Feng Wu immediately steadied him. “Your lungs are injured. You shouldn’t be talking.”
The crown prince shook his head. “Because your energy is everywhere when you strike out, but powerful people like me can concentrate their power to a single point. It’s still too early to tell you how to do that.”
Suddenly, white wild geese flew into the sky.
Jun Linyuan looked at the birds and shook his head. “Your worry has just come true.”
Feng Wu asked, “What?”
Jun Linyuan pointed at the wild geese and said, “That’s sign language used by the Dongsang Kingdom. They’re sending a signal.”
Feng Wu had a bad feeling. “What signal?”
Jun Linyuan looked at Feng Wu. “Assassinate the crown prince.”
Feng Wu asked, “What?”
Her prediction was right.
Feng Wu said, “I…”
Jun Linyuan waved at her. “I anticipated this when I switched bodies with you. There’s no need for you to worry about anything.”
Feng Wu looked perplexed.
Feng Wu thought that she was farsighted and prudent, but as it turned out, Jun Linyuan was even more so.
Feng Wu suddenly remembered something, and she cried out.
Jun Linyuan was perplexed.
Feng Wu suddenly remembered the fairy.
Because!
“I was more than ten steps away from Jun Linyuan when I came out to chase the ninja, wasn’t I?”
The fairy said, “Yes…”
Feng Wu’s eyes widened, and blue veins popped on her forehead. “Have I failed the trial?”
Feng Wu was so frustrated that she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her broken star piece, her beautiful master… Feng Wu felt that she had been struck by lightning, and she thought that her head was going to explode.
Her ears were buzzing so loudly that she almost passed out.
Jun Linyuan’s pupils contracted. What was wrong with her?
Luckily, the fairy said, “Hey! Calm down! You didn’t fail!”
Seeing that Feng Wu didn’t respond, the fairy raised her voice. “I’m here, aren’t I? That means that you haven’t failed the 12 Trials of Love! You can still find the broken star piece! Wake up!”
For a moment, the fairy thought that Feng Wu’s soul was going to leave her body!
