Feng Lianqing laughed. “How is that possible? The deeper region is dangerous. Even if there’s a way in, we can’t get too far.”
“So…” Feng Ruqing paused. “Why are we going further in instead? Why aren’t we going back where we came from?”
Feng Lianqing was stunned. He stared blankly at Feng Ruqing.
After that, he turned around to look at the direction where they came from.
So…
It was not that someone had removed his markings… but he had gone the wrong way instead?
Feng Lianqing felt his body stiffen a little. He turned to look at the guards of General Manor. “Isn’t this where we came from?”
The guards exchanged glances.
“Young Master Lianqing, after you’ve saved the young prince, you started walking forward without turning back.”
Feng Lianqing’s expression immediately changed. “Why didn’t any of you say so earlier?!”
The guards behind him felt aggrieved with sorrow clear in their eyes. “Young Master, you’ve said before that we only have to follow you and listen to your orders. If you walk this way, we won’t dare to walk the opposite way or remind you.”
Feng Lianqing was speechless. He turned stiffly to look at Lianyi. “And why didn’t you remind me?”
Lianyi regained her senses and chewed her lip. “I didn’t notice.”
Her gaze was fully focused on Nan Xian, so how could she have any attention left to pay to trivial matters like this?
At that moment, Feng Lianqing felt like burying himself in a hole. This was just too embarrassing! His handsome face was all red as he said sheepishly, “Truth be told, I usually never make such a dumb mistake. It must be because I fell and hit my head earlier.”
“Oh,” Feng Ruqing calmly replied, obviously not buying it.
Feng Lianqing was flustered, but he dared not vent his frustrations on Feng Ruqing, so he slapped the guard beside him on the back of his head.
This slap made the guard stumble forward, and the little prince on his back was tossed away.
The chubby body rolled down like a ball and finally stopped after hitting a tree.
Silence…
The spirit beast mountain fell into sudden silence.
The guard was dumbstruck. His face was now ghastly pale as he fell to his knees with a loud thud.
“Young Prince, please forgive me, please forgive me! I didn’t do it on purpose.”
The little prince held the back of his head, feeling dizzy, and stood up. His steps were wobbly, and he almost fell again.
Just then…
A leopard rushed over from beside, picked the little prince’s chubby body up in its mouth, and dashed away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Feng Lianqing was stunned. Everything happened so quickly. It was so sudden that he did not have a chance to react.
“Big Brother Feng.” Lianyi’s face was as pale as a sheet, looking flustered. “What do we do? The little prince has been taken away by a leopard.”
Feng Lianqing’s expression looked a little sickly as well. But he did not have time to spout nonsense like Lianyi as he rushed in the direction where the little prince had disappeared to. In an instant, he, too, was gone…
“Miss Lianyi, what do we do now?”
The guards did not possess such speed and could never catch up to them, so they looked at Lianyi with panic in their eyes. Especially the guard who had tossed the little prince away just now, he could now barely stand. His eyes were filled with fear. If anything happened to the little prince, His Highness would never forgive him…
It was over. His life was completely over!
