C21 Hidden Murderous Intent
"What?" Kunwu Jiongnuo was astonished when he heard this. He would rather accept the name of Fire Demon that he had casually teased than to be called Prince Lin?! Above all others, everyone yearned for a throne that no one else could hope for. Not only did he disdain it, he even loathed it …
At this moment, Kunwu Jiongnuo was very curious in his heart. What exactly did he go through? And that weird martial arts … Was he like himself?
Xin Cangqu turned around and suddenly saw Kunwu Jiongnuo looking at her thoughtfully. She quickly took two steps back with a cautious face. "What's Prince Jiong looking at the book like that for? "Could it be …"
Kunwu Jiongnuo smiled. His eyes were filled with a charming light as he took two steps forward. "Didn't Lord Cang fall for This King's face early in the morning? Is This King as you wish?"
Xin Cangqu also slowly approached after hearing these words. A bewitching light smile appeared on her lips. Her bright red eyes were like a sea of fire, and within the sea of fire was the jade face of the ice sculpture.
Kunwu Jiongnuo's heart skipped a beat for no reason, but he still didn't move an inch as he waited for Kunwu Jiongnuo to get closer … As far as he could remember, he had never seen a person so clearly before, but this person …
When there was only an inch between the two of them, Xin Cangqu's expression suddenly changed. With a wave of the jade fan, a wave of raging flames separated the two.
Kunwu Jiongnuo instinctively took two steps back. When he looked again, the red figure had already walked forward confidently.
"Although I like your looks, I don't have the habit of dividing up your sleeves. If Prince Jiong is really that kind, I might as well give Miss Weiluan to me!"
Kunwu Jiongnuo chuckled and followed, "Lord Cang sure knows how to joke. How can Miss Weiluan be a free gift?"
"I knew Prince Jiong would be reluctant to part with it." Xin Cangqu humphed in an indifferent manner as she walked forward.
"Is Lord Cang going back to the Wu Steel Manor?"
Xin Cangqu glanced at Kunwu Jiongnuo, who had followed along, and said with a mocking smile, "Where are you going? What do you want to do with Prince Jiong?"
"Hey, since Prince Lin is still in my Kunwu, how could he not do something related to me?" Kunwu Jiongnuo lightly waved his folding fan and said intentionally as a provocation.
"Prince Jiong, are you trying to remind us to pay attention to our identities?" Xin Cangqu narrowed her eyes and laughed dangerously.
"That's not the case. Wu Steel Manor is at Kunyang City, and this duke also wants to return at that time. You and I are coincidentally on the same path, that's why this duke has the question." Kunwu Jiongnuo had a surprisingly good temper today. Facing Xin Cangqu's open marksmanship and sneak attack, he was not angry at all.
"So you're saying, Prince Jiong is going to regain his Kunyang City?" Xin Cangqu suddenly stopped, a look of curiosity sweeping past her eyes. This profound Evil Ghost who never revealed himself always liked to deliberately mystify things, why would he suddenly want to regain his Kunyang City?
"This King should be asking Lord Cang if they are going back to the Liu Steel Manor?" Kunwu Jiongnuo's icy eyes flashed. He also stopped and asked a question instead of answering.
"Since Prince Jiong has already asked, it seems like this dungeon has to go back!" Xin Cangquyan walked on after finishing her sentence.
"..."
When Lu Chengnan saw the two of them off and returned to Lu Weiluan's yard, he saw from a distance that the figure was still standing under the peach tree, which, reflecting the moonlight in the water, had actually said, "Weiluan, you're in Lake Lian."
Lu Chengnan approached and said, "Prince Jiong has also left, why aren't you resting?"
"Don't talk about me, didn't you sleep as well?" Lu Weiluan turned to look at her brother.
Lu Chengnan smiled and stood beside her under the peach tree. "Is there something on Weiluan's mind?"
"Big Brother, you said …" Was my choice right? " Lu Weiluan suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask?" Lu Chengnan looked at her.
"I just don't know the path ahead. I don't know if my choice today will cause any negative effects to the Lu Family Villa or to my father, brothers, and uncles, and I also don't know if the Lu Family Villa will be in danger because of me in the future. I even more so, I don't know …" Lu Weiluan was about to continue, but was interrupted by Lu Chengnan.
Lu Chengnan lowered his eyes and stared into the water, "Although my Lu Family Manor is one of the Six Great Sects, Weiluan, you should know very well that the reason the Six Great Sects are able to dominate the Jianghu is because the five nations are busy biting each other. No one will waste any energy to regain the influence of the Jianghu. "That being the case, one day, when the five nations unite, will there still be a place for us to stay?"
"If the five empires can unify, then the entire world will be unified. At that time, the new hegemon will not allow the martial arts faction to dominate it!" Lu Weiluan answered.
Lu Chengnan nodded, patted his sister's shoulder, and consoled her: "So even if you don't make a choice today, our Lu Family Villa can't rely on our own power to safely exist under the heavens, and if we don't want it to be destroyed, we can only rely on a single country!"
"I understand what you mean, big brother, but …" "If I choose the wrong person …" Lu Weiluan held her sleeves tightly and looked at Lu Chengnan worriedly.
Lu Chengnan held her hand and said with a doting smile, "Weiluan, since you said that, then I will ask you this. If Father wants you to marry someone else today, would you be willing?"
"I refuse!" Hearing him ask this, Lu Weiluan answered firmly without thinking, and only then did she realize that she was too nervous, and too determined. She slowly lowered her head and said, "It's the first time Weiluan has seen Prince Jiong, and she has already decided that he will never marry anyone else! Otherwise, I would rather die! "
"Okay, okay. I know what you are thinking, and I know what you are worried about." "Weiluan, you are the apple of everyone's eyes. No matter what choice you make, Lu Family Villa will support you. Even if you choose the wrong person, at worst, the winner will king and the loser will rob the thief, no one will blame you!"
"Big Brother, thank you!" After listening to his words, Lu Weiluan's heart finally felt a lot more at ease.
"But then again, if Prince Jiong loses to you and causes you to be wronged, you must tell him. Even if he can't do anything, at least he can bring you away."
Lu Chengnan's seemingly joking words made Lu Weiluan smile. "I already knew that you can't bear to see me suffer."
"But... He was a king, his lord. He would definitely have many women in the future. Weiluan, you … Are you really ready? " Lu Chengnan was still worried.
"The heart is already his, what need is there to be prepared?"
Lu Weiluan's confident and determined gaze shocked Lu Chengnan. He raised his head to look at the peach blossoms on his head and said indifferently, "Alright! From today onwards, my Lu Family Hall is linked with Prince Jiong of Kunwu! "
"..."
The next day, when Ji Chongfeng and Ding Kuo returned to the Pear Blossom Forest, Ding Kuo looked around vigilantly. Although he did not find anything out of the ordinary, he still could not relax. He simply pulled out his sword.
