Translator: 549690339
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wang Qingci fell silent.
Indeed, even if she went out and told everyone that the North Prince wasn’t useless, it was unlikely that anyone would believe her.
After all, the image of the North Prince as a good-for-nothing had deeply rooted itself in people’s hearts, compounded by the fact that since he arrived in North City, he had done nothing of significance and spent every day seeking pleasure in the North Prince Mansion.
Now there were constant rumors in North City saying that the North Prince kept many beautiful maidservants in his mansion and mixed with these maidservants all day long, indulging in hedonistic pleasures.
However, Wang Qingci was somewhat puzzled, why did the North Prince think she would definitely not speak out?
Did he trust her so much?
Didn’t he know that after he had committed such an outrage against her, she had been thinking of revenge all along?
Just then, Lu Chen let go of Wang Qingci’s delicate body, rose from the bed, and as he dressed himself, said, “Alright, you can go back now.”
Hearing this, Wang Qingci looked at Lu Chen somewhat incredulously.
“You really intend to let me go?” she asked.
Lu Chen gave a slight smile, then said, “Do you think this Prince is someone who likes to joke around?”
Wang Qingci didn’t continue the conversation, and she too began to get dressed.
After a while, Wang Qingci carefully stepped out of the Prince’s Mansion.
Standing at the gate of the mansion, she still somewhat couldn’t believe it; she turned her head to look at the plaque of the mansion, her heart a mix of emotions.
She had just left like this?
Had the North Prince really not laid a hand on her?
Wang Qingci quickly checked her own skill, and indeed, her skill had returned.
If the North Prince had not intended to let her go, he wouldn’t have removed the seal on her internal skill, especially since she was a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, and capturing a Ninth Grade Martial Artist was no easy task.
Afterward, Wang Qingci turned her head, her heart filled with trepidation, and quickly made her way back to Hundred Flowers Tower.
All the way, she paid close attention to her surroundings, afraid that the North Prince would attack her en route.
However, she made it back to Hundred Flowers Tower without anyone laying a hand on her, or even following her.
Back at Hundred Flowers Tower, Wang Qingci stood on a pavilion, looking towards the North Prince Mansion and couldn’t help thinking that it seemed the North Prince was serious.
She hadn’t expected the North Prince to have such great boldness.
Wang Qingci sighed. The more magnanimous the North Prince acted, the more it proved his strength was formidable.
The fact that the North Prince wasn’t afraid of her disclosing his affairs showed that he no longer feared the consequences his exposed power might bring, and it also indirectly indicated the North Prince might already be fully fledged.
Wang Qingci’s emotions were complex. What should she do now?
Could it be that she should truly betray Misty Pavilion, betray the Wang Family, betray Prince Lu Shuyun?
Sitting on the pavilion, Wang Qingci quietly gazed into the distance, the breeze upon her face, when the figure of Lu Chen once again emerged in her mind.
Immediately after, the scenes of what had just occurred replayed in her mind, and for a moment, her body became incredibly hot and restless.
Wang Qingci sighed.
She had already found out that she seemed to have become addicted to the feelings she experienced when cultivating a relationship with the North Prince.
Although there had only been two instances, the sensations this time had engraved themselves deep in her heart.
She found it difficult to imagine how she would calm her restless body should the North Prince die one day.
She didn’t know how the North Prince had managed it, but none of that mattered anymore; what was important was that she could no longer be without the North Prince.
And after thinking it over, even if she cooperated with Blood Moon Tower to kill the North Prince, she would still be nothing more than a tool in Prince Lu Shuyun’s eyes.
After all, she was just an assassin raised by the Wang Family, without a notable identity, so whether she was by Prince Lu Shuyun’s side or the North Prince’s side, there actually wasn’t much difference.
Moreover, considering the North Prince had somehow made it so that her body couldn’t be without him, becoming the North Prince’s woman was indeed her best choice.
Wang Qingci then looked toward the direction of North Prince Mansion and said softly, “Prince, you have won.”
As her words fell, the pressure on her seemed to dissipate instantly.
She also understood why the North Prince was so confident in letting her go.
She couldn’t help feeling that the North Prince was a terrifying man.
Fortunately, she was a woman, for if she were a man, she likely would have been dead already.
Just at that moment, an old woman appeared in the pavilion.
“Saintess, Blood Moon Tower sent a message, asking us to find out as soon as possible whether the Mysterious Grandmaster is still in North Prince Mansion. They will arrive in Yan County in five days.”
Wang Qingci said expressionlessly, “1 know. I’ll go to North Prince Mansion myself tonight and test them out.”
In the still of the night, a black figure appeared at the entrance of North Prince Mansion.
The black figure easily bypassed the Prince’s Mansion’s trusted aides and swiftly entered the inner courtyard.
The outer courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion didn’t have too many skilled martial artists, so it wasn’t surprising that someone could sneak in, but the inner courtyard wasn’t somewhere just anyone could enter.
As soon as the black figure reached the inner courtyard, before she could even enter, she was blocked by a woman dressed in white.
Chu Yuqin looked at the person in black and said coldly, “Not anyone can just enter the Prince’s Mansion!”
As her words fell, Chu Yuqin thrust her sword toward the woman in black.
The figure in black dodged easily, avoiding Chu Yuqin’s thrust.
Chu Yuqin’s brow furrowed, and a sense of unease quickly took hold in her heart.
A Ninth Grade martial artist?
It appears she’s here to assassinate Chen’er.
Just as Chu Yuqin got ready to continue her assault, the woman spoke up, “Madam Chu, I have urgent matters to discuss with the Prince; please allow me to pass.”
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin scoffed and said, “Urgent matters to discuss? I’m afraid you’re here to assassinate him!”
Madam Chu did not recall when Lu Chen ever mingled with any Ninth Grade martial artists other than herself, and even though the woman’s voice sounded familiar, Madam Chu still couldn’t let her guard down and had to treat her as a female assassin.
Madam Chu then swept her sword towards the woman in black again, but the woman in black didn’t seem to have any intention of engaging directly with Chu Yuqin, continuously dodging instead.
Before long, Lu Chen in the main courtyard heard the commotion outside, and he immediately came out.
Lu Chen had a system that could quickly identify a person’s identity, even if they were dressed in black and veiled.
Seeing that the woman in black was Wang Qingci, the corners of Lu Chen’s mouth lifted slightly, and he then said to Chu Yuqin, “Madam Chu, she’s one of mine. Let her in.”
At Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin was stunned.
She didn’t understand when Lu Chen had acquired a Ninth Grade martial artist as a subordinate, let alone a woman.
She certainly hadn’t heard or seen any other Ninth Grade martial artists around Lu Chen before.
But soon, Chu Yuqin let go of her concern, as there were too many things about Lu Chen she did not know.
Madam Chu then stepped aside, but still threatened Wang Qingci, “If you dare do anything against the North Prince, then you won’t be able to leave North Prince Mansion!”
Wang Qingci ignored Madam Chu’s threat and went straight into Lu Chen’s room.
Once inside the room, Wang Qingci removed her veil.
At that moment, Lu Chen took a glance at Wang Qingci’s entire body. Dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, her curvaceous figure was perfectly accentuated, giving her an extraordinary allure.
Lu Chen asked with a smile, “Having left the Prince’s Mansion less than four hours ago, you come to find me again. Could it be that you wish to engage in marital affairs with this prince again?”
Wang Qingci smiled seductively and said, “The Prince jests. 1 am not as capable as you, my lord.”
“I came to tell the Prince that Blood Moon Tower’s assassins will arrive in Yan County in five days, and this time, to kill you, they have dispatched five Ninth Grade martial artists, and even the Vice Tower Master has been mobilized..”
