C20 Hunting Crisis(7)

That person was South Vanquisher, Lee Mingde.

Lee Mingde took off his strange mask. Under the silver moonlight, his brows were elegant, and his eyes were deep and frosty. However, when he looked at the departing figure, an imperceptible warmth appeared in his black eyes. "There's no need." The plan remained the same."

"Master..."

Lee Qing did not give up. After feeling Lee Mingde's cold gaze, he gradually lowered his head and respectfully left.

Hua Xiangrong, who had escaped death, was running crazily back through the dense forest. She did not care if she was scratched by a tree branch.

With great difficulty, she escaped from the forest. The sense of danger gradually dissipated. She took a deep breath, and still felt a chill behind her back.

She was so close to death. That man's martial arts were obviously better than hers. If he didn't let her go on purpose, she would have become a corpse.

The Royal Hunting had never been a small matter. It was just that Hua Xiangrong did not expect that this time, she seemed to have stumbled upon a huge secret, and this secret seemed to be related to Lee Mingde.

Hua Xiangrong was thinking about whether or not she should tell this secret, when a cold wind blew from behind her, causing her entire body to tremble. She secretly cursed herself for still thinking about these lousy things, the more she knew, the more she would tell, the faster she would die.

She did not dare to stay here any longer. She stood still and tried to find her way back to the emperor's side. After taking two steps, someone suddenly jumped out and patted her shoulder, "Hua Xiangrong, I've been looking for you for a long time. Why are you here?"

It was the Fourth Prince, Lee Mingyi!

Hua Xiangrong had a pretty good relationship with Lee Mingyi. Lee Mingyi usually took good care of her, because Lee Mingyi was a year younger than her, and she had always treated Lee Mingyi as her own brother. Now that she met Lee Mingyi at this critical moment, she didn't know if it was on purpose or coincidence.

Hua Xiangrong looked at him in a daze, sighing in her heart. The people of the royal family were never as simple as they seemed.

She restrained her emotions and patted his hand away as usual. She said with a smile, "Hunting, what else can I do? I was unlucky today and didn't manage to catch much. How about you? Give me half of it?"

"No problem. If you get the reward from my father, don't forget to give me half."

Lee Mingyi thoughtlessly pulled her back, "Let's go. We should hurry back."

The bright moonlight elongated their shadows, and the wind rustled the trees beside them, deepening the shadows that hid them in the night.

After the woman left, Zhao Qi, who was hiding in the dark, revealed his figure and said respectfully to Lee Mingde, "Master, are we letting her go just like that?"

The man looked at the woman's back as she left. There was a mixture of emotions in his eyes, and he hesitated for a long time before finally nodding. "There's no need to say anything more."

"If we let her go, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Qi still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Lee Mingde, "Zhao Qi, you are the same as Lee Qing, you have crossed the line."

Zhao Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Please punish me, Master."

Lee Mingde's face was pale, but his gaze was still sharp. When it landed on his body, it felt like a knife was cutting him into pieces. Zhao Qi did not dare to say anything and waited for Lee Mingde's verdict.

After a long while, he sighed helplessly. "Let's go."

"Yes."

The group of people disappeared into the dark night as if they had never appeared.
