C35 Knowing Self and Knowing the Enemy

"Thank you, Lord Cang, for your guidance. However, Jiu is extremely annoyed with me at the moment, so it's best that I don't add insult to injury in front of her." Ruan Tiancong said in disappointment.

Kunwu Jiongnuo closed his mouth, took a few steps forward and looked at Ruan Tiancong playfully, "Young Master Ruan, are you planning to leave?"

Ruan Tiancong nodded weakly and bowed towards Lili and Kunwu Jiongnuo, "Kunwu Jiongnuoson, Prince Jiong, Tiancong, farewell!"

"It's good to leave for the time being. Perhaps, when we meet again, there might be some unexpected benefits." Xin Cangqu said with a smile.

Ruan Tiancong thought he was comforting himself, so he nodded and left in any direction.

"As long as you are sincere, you can do it yourself …" Kunwu Jiongnuo tilted his head to look at the back of Ruan Tiancong as he left, "If it was Lord Cang who faced the person he liked today, would he do this?"

Xin Cangqu chuckled upon hearing this. She answered decisively, "Of course not!"

Kunwu Jiongnuo's interest was piqued even further. He looked at Xin Cangqu with his ice-cold eyes and asked, "Then what will Lord Cang do?"

"There won't be anyone in this world who likes you, so where did you get the idea to do that?" Her scarlet eyes were ignited with the flames of a prairie fire. That was the magnificence of looking down at the world, the radiance of a demonic Xinzhou, at the same time, it was also the cold-blooded and merciless that could captivate people's souls. "I don't know about this answer, is Prince Jiong satisfied?"

Kunwu Jiongnuo's gaze immediately froze. Being roasted by that fire made his heart tighten. Logically speaking, that shouldn't be the case. He was afraid of the fire in his eyes, but why …

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Xin Cangqu was also surprised. She hadn't done anything, so how could he have such a reaction?

"Hello, Prince Jiong?"

Kunwu Jiongnuo stared at him coldly.

Damn it! Damn it! What had happened recently? Why was he so crazy in front of him?

"Why isn't Prince Jiong saying anything?" Xin Cangqu laughed in a strange and mocking manner.

"According to what I know about Lord Cang, if it was Lord Cang, Lord Cang would do whatever it takes to obtain what he wants, regardless of the cost." His tone was firm.

A faint smile appeared on Xin Cangqu's lips as she gave a deep sigh. "Ayaya, Prince Jiong, only now has This King found out that there is actually someone in this world who could guess my thoughts so accurately. This is exactly like that phrase, 'know yourself and know your enemies'."

"Same here!" Kunwu Jiongnuo smiled casually, "But I wonder why Lord Cang wants to enlighten Young Master Ruan like that?"

Xin Cangqu smirked mischievously, smiling very happily, "The reason why I said that was just to let Young Master Ruan see the truth. I guessed that no matter how hard he tried, Sister Su would not spare him a glance!"

So all of this was just a game for him, but for the two of them, this was probably the only thing they wanted to do in this life.

Kunwu Jiongnuo's eyes flashed with a cold light, he casually played with the jade fan, with his lips curled into a cold smile, as though he was a devil from the underworld, his entire body emitted an evil aura, and with a look of watching a good show, he sighed: "Among the two of you, one is Heroine Su, whom the other eight heroes on Nine Heroes Ridge view as the pearl of their palm, and the other is Young Master Ruan, whom the Sect Leader Ruan Mingdong considers as the flesh of his heart, Lord Cang, are you really not afraid that they will come to collect debts from you in the future?"

"Who can say what will happen in the future?" Xin Cangqu replied with a smile and then walked in the direction Su Jiu had left.

Staring at the crimson figure, Kunwu Jiongnuo slowly walked out of his sight and said, "Come out!"

Three figures immediately appeared behind Kunwu Jiongnuo like ghosts.

The three of them held the long sword s and knelt on one knee, bowing to Kunwu Jiongnuo.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Mu Yin pays his respect to Your Highness!"

It turned out that these three people were the Three Soulreaper Swords that caused the martial arts world to tremble in fear. The hilt of the long sword in their hands was engraved with a single character, Wu Tie's sword had the word "Dust" on it, Ye Qiu's sword had the word "Autumn", and Mu Yin's sword had the word "Hidden".

Ever since the Three Soul-Snatching Swords had started their journey, they had challenged the two great monks of Punii Temple, Pu Cheng and Pu Cheng, as well as Great Hero Qin of Qin Zhengshu, Yu Baxia of Nine Heroes Ridge, Black and White Protector of Black and White House and many other top experts of Jianghu to become famous. Then, they suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Moreover, over the years, no one had been able to find traces of these three people, not to mention their masters, sects, and origins. However, they would occasionally hear some rumors about them killing a dog official, slaughtering a thief or someone who was unconvinced and provoked them, causing their tendons, arms, and legs to be severed.

Unexpectedly, the Soul Seizing Three Swords was Evil Lord's person!

Kunwu Jiongnuo slowly turned around, "Stand up."

The three stood up and waited respectfully for the order.

"In a few more days, I will be able to reach the Quiet Bamboo Forest. How are your preparations?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been arranged according to your orders." Gu Chen replied.

Kunwu Jiongnuo nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, then remember this. As long as I can get rid of Fire Demon, I can't harm Su Jiu's life."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" The three of them replied in unison.

Kunwu Jiongnuo waved his hand again, signaling for them to leave.

The three of them bowed and left as if they had come back.

Kunwu Jiongnuo slightly raised his head and looked through the scattered leaves to the blue sky with a cold gaze. A demonic smile appeared on his lips, "Fire Demon, this time, this king wants to see how you will fight against this king!"

"..."

Xin Cangqu slowed down her pace and looked at the sorrowful figure in the forest from afar. Inexplicably, ripples appeared in her heart. He seemed to have seen that sorrowful appearance on his mother's body before …

Unknowingly, he had already walked up to that person. He then mysteriously supported her on his shoulder, as though he wanted to give her a little bit of comfort.

"Didn't I already say that? "If you continue to follow me, don't blame me!" Su Jiu thought it was Ruan Tiancong who came back, so she turned around angrily. She was only halfway through her sentence. When she saw that beautiful face, the other half couldn't help but choke.

"Don't blame me for what happened to you?" Xin Cangqu's gaze was unexpectedly gentle, and her voice seemed to carry a trace of gentleness.

In that instant, Su Jiu's whole heart melted. Suddenly, tears started streaming down her face. She looked at him steadily and said softly, "Lord Cang, how could it be you?"
