“Yeah…” Lianyi forced a smile. “I’m not worried. After all, I’m from General Manor. His Highness might forgive me out of mercy for the general. I just happened to be traumatized by the spirit beast mountain’s incident and have yet to regain peace of mind.”
“Oh.” Feng Lianqing understood. “So that’s what it is. Then, you have to get more rest. I will also get some rest.”
After that, Feng Lianqing walked away.
For some reason, he felt as if the guards who had followed him to the spirit beast mountain wanted to tell him something with their eyes. Yet, when he asked them, none of them gave him any answers…
Feng Lianqing frowned but thought not much of it. The reason being that he could never imagine Lianyi pushing all the responsibility of that incident to Feng Ruqing.
He also could not imagine his childhood friend, the girl he had grown up with, to be such a vicious and heartless woman.
It was exactly because he did not know this side of her, he had missed the best opportunity to ask…
At the foot of the spirit beast mountain, Feng Ruqing was glaring at the guards surrounding them. She cocked an eyebrow. “State Preceptor, our journey hasn’t been peaceful at all.”
“Yeah.” Nan Xian was calm as a breeze and aloof as the cold moon. “Let me take care of this.”
Soon after he had spoken, Nan Xian dashed into the crowd like a gentle gust of wind.
These men were skilled fighters, but there was still a limit to their capabilities. In an instant, they all fell into a pool of blood and stopped breathing.
Feng Ruqing was mildly stunned. “Nan Xian, don’t you find these people suspicious? Why did they surround us for no apparent reason?”
Nan Xian frowned. “That’s true.”
“Why didn’t you leave one alive? I want to know who’s behind this.”
“I didn’t think of that.”
Nan Xian squatted down to rummage through the dead bodies before finding two tokens. ‘Wu Shang City’ was written on one of it while the other only had one character – Imperial!
“Coming from Wu Shang City must mean they’re related to the little fatty.”
The little fatty?
Feng Ruqing narrowed her eyes. “I saved that little fatty out of kindness but is he trying to return my grace with revenge? I must have been too lenient when punishing him. I should’ve whipped him to the point where he wouldn’t dare to have any thoughts about harming me.”
Although the little fatty was a tad arrogant, he was a child. She had thought that he was not that bad, but… Hah! He was thoroughly rotten!
“Mother, are we going to Wu Shang City?” Fu Chen turned to Feng Ruqing and asked.
Feng Ruqing smirked. “Of course! I’m going to get back at that little fatty! What’s more, if I don’t go, these people will keep coming after us. It’s too annoying.”
“Mother.” Xiao Qing nibbled the tiny carrot in its hands. “That little fatty is nasty despite his appearance. He must still hold a grudge against you and wants to take revenge. Mother, why don’t we look for that fatty now in secret and give him a nice whipping?”
“Yeah, that works too.” Feng Ruqing rubbed her chin. “But there are many skilled fighters in the palace, so we better be careful after all. Fu Chen, why don’t you guys stay in the medium for now?”
With a lift of her arm, she returned the two little beings into the medium.
“State Preceptor, I wanted to leave the mountain immediately, but I’ve changed my mind.”
“Hmm?”
“Let’s go find the leopards after all, and adopt a few abandoned spirit beasts on the way.” Feng Ruqing narrowed her eyes. “Whoever dares to attack me, I’ll make them bleed no matter the cost!”
