Besides His Highness, she thought that he had been the most handsome man she had ever seen. He even rescued her. There would obviously be some anticipation in her heart.
“If you didn’t remember it wrongly, then the one who saved you should be one of the Supremacy.” Feng Tianlan had no intention of hiding the identity of the man from her. Since they had met before, Yunzhu would definitely remember him.
“Uh…” Luo Yunzhu froze for a moment. After a while, she a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. “Could it be the Supremacy that we saw at the Spiritual Foods Restaurant?”
At that time, she had only been thinking about how to make Tu Xiupei suffer, so she had not noticed the Supremacy. She just thought that he was handsome—but not as handsome as the man who had saved her.
Feng Tianlan nodded gently.
Luo Yunzhu let out a disappointed sigh. “Then forget it. I hate clueless men.”
What a shame!
How could such a handsome man be so blind? Why would he help Tu Xiupei?
She lost her opportunity to acquaint herself with a handsome man for no good reason and found herself feeling quite disappointed.
Feng Tianlan didn’t know what to say to her. She wanted to advise her that liking Brother Jin was not a good idea, but she thought that she had no right to do so. Besides, she knew that Brother Jin was not a bad person, he was just easily persuaded. He would trust someone else very easily. Besides, he already had someone in his mind—if she were to like him, it might be extraordinarily hard for her.
“Tianlan, what is going on? Why were we almost killed that day? It was an assassination right?” Luo Yunzhu quickly changed the subject from her benefactor to the circumstances that had impaired them. “The attack happened so quickly that day. I almost couldn’t react to it.”
The assassination attempt had happened almost in an instant. If they had not been looking out to sea and missed the ship entirely, they might not even have known they needed to react. Besides, Feng Tianlan’s Phoenix Soaring Above Nine Skies was indeed shocking.
“It was Qi Hongan. He wanted to kill us and purposely lured me out from the island,” Feng Tianlan said in a deep voice. It wasn’t hard to guess who had ordered this assassination.
She was a great-grandmaster at the Flying Frost Pavilion now. Furthermore, Pang Tai was there. It would not have been easy for Qi Hongan to kill her himself. He might even expose himself in the process.
So, when Brother Jin and the others were arriving, he used the excuse of welcoming the Supremacy to send Yunzhu and the others out to sea. Since she would naturally worry about them and become suspicious, she would have followed as well. After that, he had the assassins pose as pirates to kill them. If she were to die at the hands of pirates, he wouldn’t have to take any of the blame for her death.
This explained why Tu Xiupei’s ship was following them so far behind and did not stay close by.
They followed from behind?
Feng Tianlan squinted her eyes slightly. Was she thinking of taking her Cinnabar field for herself after the assassins killed her?
Luo Yunzhu felt the air turn chilly. She pushed Luo Yunzhu away immediately when she realized her expression turning frigid like that of a refrigerator. “Tianlan, what are you thinking?”
“Nothing.” Feng Tianlan regained her senses. She looked at Luo Yunzhu who was now alive, full of energy. “He was intimidated by your Galaxy Whip. Besides, we had offended him on the day of the discipleship induction, so he was desperate to have us killed.”
“We were lucky this time. I am afraid that next time…” Luo Yunzhu was very worried. Even though she had no idea what level of power the assassins had, she knew they were not a force to be trifled with and definitely not weak. They had killed so many of the other disciples of the Flying Frost Pavilion in an instant. Besides, Feng Tianlan had to resort to using her Phoenix Soaring Above Nine Skies.
They were lucky to have evaded such an assassination attempt. If it were to happen again, she was afraid that…
“I don’t think it will happen anymore,” Feng Tianlan said. Hiring assassins from the Solemn Killing Order had cost him tens of thousands of Spiritual Crystals. Qi Hongan wouldn’t have any more money to hire another group of assassins.
If he wanted to kill them, he would probably do it himself this time.
“Why is His Highness here, by the day?” Luo Yunzhu gave her another ambiguous smile. “And in such a short time, you two have…” She made a gesture showing two people becoming a couple as she spoke.
The embarrassed blush that had vanished from Feng Tianlan’s face reappeared once more. She admitted her relationship with Si Mobai somewhat tacitly.
