Chapter 99: The Sixth Prince’s Doomsday
Translator: 549690339
He retracted his palm and looked at the sleeping her. There was still some time before she woke up.
He took out a coat and draped it over her body to block out the light from the outside. He then placed the Golden Light Sword and the Misty Rain Umbrella by the side. He did not stay any longer and turned to leave. However, he did not go far either. He guarded her in the dark and waited for her to wake up before moving.
He took out the waist token that she had dropped. It was golden in color and seemed to be made of a special material. The two words “Demoness” were engraved on the front and “Shocking God” was engraved on the back. Zhang Ronghua frowned and his eyes sparkled.”Demoness?”
What a pity!
If she hadn’t offered up her cultivation, she would have been captured and interrogated. However, if she offered up her cultivation, she would have died by the time her true essence was exhausted.
Why did she want to kill Ji Xueyan? Could it be that he was instructed by the mastermind? Who was it?
He speculated for a while, but there were too few clues, so he could not guess.
She put away the token and went to the Eastern Palace after she woke up. Perhaps the Crown Prince could find something from this token.
He looked into the courtyard.
His heart was complicated again. Fate seemed to be playing a joke on him. He didn’t want to have anything to do with her and insisted on pulling them together. From the time he escorted her back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, they were deeply entangled.
He could feel this.
Yesterday at the Grand Tutor’s Residence, although she seemed normal, he still noticed something. Ji Xueyan looked at him with a strange gaze, which was different from normal good feelings.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
He thought about the green dudou he saw earlier. Although it was just a quick glance, he could still see the mandarin duck pattern embroidered on it
“Phew!”
Zhang Ronghua let out a breath and forced himself to stop thinking about it. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself!
At this moment.
A figure rushed out of the room. Seeing that she had woken up, Zhang Ronghua’s anxious heart relaxed. He did not stay any longer and left silently, rushing towards the Eastern Palace.
In the courtyard.
Ji Xueyan looked around, but she couldn’t find the person who saved her. She held a black coat in her left hand, and the masculine scent of a man wafted from it. She held the Golden Light Sword in her right hand. The dress she was wearing had already been changed, and her body was no longer exposed. Her jade-like feet touched the ground and landed on the roof. She looked around, but she still couldn’t find any clues.
Her shapely eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her exquisite and beautiful face was locked. She guessed,”Who saved me?”
He looked at the coat in his hand. As long as he found its owner, he would know who it was.
However, the capital was so big. How difficult was it to find someone through a piece of clothing? Not to mention her, even if the Xia Emperor gave the order, he would not be able to do so.
A gust of night wind blew, and the smell of soap powder on her coat entered her nose-the smell of willow catkins.
Remember this smell and follow this trail. We’ll definitely find it!
He put it and the Golden Light Sword into his pouch. This was a Sumeru Pouch that contained space and could store inanimate objects.
He used his movement technique and rushed towards the Grand Tutor’s Residence.
The attack tonight was in the capital, her base camp. No matter who did it, they would have to pay a huge price.
In the Eastern Palace.
A commander led the Flood Dragon Guards on duty. When he saw Zhang Ronghua, he was puzzled. His Excellency had come so late at night. What was the matter?
He hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fists.”
Zhang Ronghua nodded and rushed in.
He stopped outside the bedroom.
Qing ‘er and Shuang’ er stood guard at the door and stopped beside them.””ls His Highness asleep?”
“Yes.”
“Please inform them that I have something urgent to do!”
“Wait a moment!”
Qing er pushed open the door of the palace in a low voice and controlled her footsteps to enter. Very soon, the lights lit up and the door opened again. She nodded at him, indicating for him to enter.
They entered the palace.
The crown prince sat on the main seat with his coat draped over his shoulders. His eyes were very bright, and it seemed that he had woken up a lot.
He took out the waist token of the Demoness and handed it to Qing ‘Er, asking her to pass it to him.
He took the waist token.
The Crown Prince sized it up seriously and his gaze turned cold. He held it tightly and asked,””Did you catch the girl?”
“He’s already dead!”
Zhang Ronghua told him the prepared words. After sending his parents back, he met a severely injured witch on the way. Before he could make a move, she was already dead. He obtained this from her.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“It’s my duty.”
“It’s already very late. Go back and rest early. I’ll order someone to investigate and inform you as soon as there’s news.”
After he left.
The Crown Prince handed the token to Qing ‘er, asking her to find the mastermind as soon as possible.
He stretched out two fingers and tapped on the table, muttering, ‘”What is your cultivation level?”
Just as he was about to get up and go back to his bedroom to rest, the Green
Girl returned and stopped in front of him with a solemn expression.”Your Highness, Miss Ji has been assassinated!”
“What happened?”
“There’s news from the Grand Tutor’s Estate that Miss Ji was ambushed by a Heaven Tier elite on her way back. After a brief exchange, she realized that she had a deep foundation and couldn’t be taken down in a short period of time, so she fled.”
“Pass on my orders. Order the Flood Dragon Guards to search. We must find this!”
“Yes, sir!”
Just as the Green Girl was about to leave, the Crown Prince’s voice sounded again,” “Stop!”
She turned around and looked at him in confusion.
‘You said two things. Could there be a connection? Assuming that the murderer who intercepted Xue Yan was the Demoness, she fled after seeing that the assassination had failed and was then killed by Zhang Ronghua.”
The Green Girl blinked and tried to hold back her laughter. She said seriously,”How old is he? He had just been crowned, and he was from the Imperial Army. Although such a family background was not bad and belonged to the lower middle class, he had no resources or cultivation techniques. Even if he hid his cultivation, he would at most be a Great Grandmaster. How could he be in the Celestial Realm? If so, then wouldn’t his talent be heaven-defying? Beating up the young generation of the capital, where would the pride of those great factions be put?”
The Crown Prince also felt that it was reasonable. No matter how Zhang Ronghua concealed his cultivation, his age was obvious. He was probably at the limit of a great grandmaster. It wasn’t that he was looking down on him. Talent was important, but resources were also indispensable. Even Ji Xueyan, Yang Hongling, and the others had only just broken through to the eighth level of the Great Grandmaster Realm. He was completely clean. How could he break through to the Celestial Realm?
Even Xu Xirou, who was born in a poor family and had shown great potential in Changqing Academy, was only on par with Ji Xueyan and the others with the support of the resources of Changqing Academy, as well as her talent and hard work. She couldn’t surpass them, so how could he, a member of the Imperial Army, do it?
He shook his head.
He threw this unrealistic thought to the back of his mind and ordered, “Order someone to prepare a carriage. I will go to the Grand Tutor’s residence to visit
Xue Yan now.”
The Green Girl quickly left and carried out his orders.
Returning to the home of the Vermillion Bird Lane
As soon as he arrived at the artificial lake, he heard footsteps. A purple shadow rushed out of the lake and looked back at him. He was shocked and rushed back to his room without looking back.
Zhang Ronghua’s face darkened. He looked at the man-made lake and saw that all the fish were gone. He was furious and shouted,”Come here!”
Seeing that it did not stop, he grabbed at the air. A terrifying suction force grabbed it and lifted it by the back of its head in the air.
“Delicious?”
“Meow!”
The purple cat shook its head and acted cute, indicating that it was wrong and would not dare to do it again..
