Long Xiangluo kept staring at Yun Qianyu. She was certain from Yun Qianyu’s expression that Yun Qianyu did not recognize who Lu Changzhi was. Suddenly, she felt a sense of powerlessness.
“He is skilled in formations. I have only seen one person in the world break his formations!” Long Xiangluo reminded her. It was at that time that she fell in love with that person at first sight!
Yun Qianyu was speechless. She thought that the person was so powerful that no one could break his formations!
“Princess Protector, would you consider my suggestion now?” Long Xiangluo’s gaze fell on Yun Qianyu’s cloak.
At this moment, outside the post station, Sanqiu said in surprise, “Master, it is Lu Changzhi. He is setting up a formation. Will Her Highness the Princess…”
Before Sanqiu could finish his worried words, Gong Sangmo interrupted him, “She can’t be stumped!”
Sanqiu looked at the gradually changing scenery in surprise but quickly returned to calm. On the surface, the inn had not changed at all, but Sanqiu knew that it was already a den of dragons and tigers inside.
Sanqiu glanced back at Gong Sangmo, who still stood with his hands behind his back, his heart unable to calm down for a long time. Did his master have so much confidence in the princess? He had been following Gong Sangmo all along and naturally knew Yun Qianyu from the very beginning. From that disheveled little girl with a horrifying scar on her face to the stunningly beautiful young woman she was now, he had watched her grow over the past three years. Besides knowing her exceptional medical and poison skills, he truly didn’t know she possessed any other abilities. Lu Changzhi was Qing Lingxian’s most prized disciple on Three Immortals Mountain, the only one who had mastered Qing Lingxian’s array formation techniques to perfection. His array formations were even praised by his master. And the princess could actually compare!
Sanqiu was genuinely interested in waiting! He really wanted to see if Yun Qianyu could escape Lu Changzhi’s array formation on her own without his master’s help!
Meanwhile, Yun Qianyu felt there was no need to waste any more time with Long Xiangluo. A few words, a few statements, and she could understand a person’s character and way of handling things; she already knew enough.
Yun Qianyu took out a jade bottle from her sleeve and tossed it to Long Xiangluo.
Long Xiangluo caught the bottle, initially puzzled, then, remembering the shadow outside, smiled knowingly, “The Princess Protector is quite sensible!”
“Princess Luo, have you misunderstood something?”
Yun Qianyu stood up, straightened her clothes, retied her cloak, and walked towards the door.
“Misunderstood?” Long Xiangluo glanced at the jade bottle in her hand. “Isn’t this the antidote for the Shadow?”
Yun Qianyu stopped, turned back, and looked at Long Xiangluo with an expression of utter disbelief. “Princess Luo, can’t you see the bottle is empty?”
Long Xiangluo shook the bottle; it was indeed empty. She uncorked the bottle and looked inside; there was nothing there, but she did smell a familiar scent.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she looked at Yun Qianyu in astonishment, “You really weren’t poisoned? The Beauty-Dispelling Poison fell into your hands?”
Yun Qianyu’s curled eyelashes fluttered, but she didn’t answer.
“You really poisoned Shadow with the Beauty-Dispelling Poison?”
Long Xiangluo had always thought that even if she had poisoned Shadow, it was only a poison Yun Gu had concocted herself. She hadn’t expected Yun Qianyu to actually use the Beauty-Dispelling Poison on Shadow.
“Princess Luo, I want to see the Seventh Prince of Jiuxiao Kingdom return to the inn safely before sunset the day after tomorrow. Moreover, I don’t want the Seventh Prince’s matter to have any connection with Nanlou Kingdom. I think Princess Luo understands my meaning!”
Yun Qianyu stood gracefully, elegant yet noble, her beautiful eyes brimming with confidence!
“You think you can threaten me with Shadow?”
Long Xiangluo moved her hand, and the red-chained snake darted out of her hand, heading towards Yun Qianyu’s neck.
Yun Qianyu waved her slender hand, and a silver needle met the red-chained snake. With a flash of silver light, the red-chained snake was now pinned to the beam. The silver needle pierced the snake’s seven-inch spot. After writhing a few times, the red-chained snake hung motionless on the beam.
“You actually killed it?”
Long Xiangluo stared at Yun Qianyu in disbelief. No one had ever dared to challenge her authority like this before. Moreover, she had spent considerable effort taming this red-chained snake, and Yun Qianyu had killed it just like that!
“I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will surely kill them!” Yun Qianyu’s bright, jewel-like eyes flashed with a chilling light.
Yun Qianyu slowly walked to the door, gently pushed it open, and turned to the still-stunned Long Xiangluo, saying, “Shen Yewu is your mother’s younger sister, isn’t she?”
Long Xiangluo’s eyes narrowed. She actually knew?
“Since we are destined to be mortal enemies, I have no reason, nor need, to show mercy, do I?” Yun Qianyu stared intently at Long Xiangluo.
“Princess Luo likes Xian Wang, but since you’ve known each other for so many years and you haven’t won his heart, I think he really doesn’t like women like you. Think about it, a noble, god-like Xian Wang standing next to a woman as alluring as a fox, do you think that’s a suitable match?” Yun Qianyu said, giving Long Xiangluo a disdainful once-over.
Yun Qianyu’s words were like daggers to Long Xiangluo’s heart!
“What are you so smug about? Do you think he’ll like you?” Long Xiangluo was enraged.
“That’s something I need to seriously consider!” Yun Qianyu’s large eyes were deep and clear, like a mountain spring, shimmering with light! But only she knew that what she had just said wasn’t a joke!
She turned and stepped out of the room, glancing at Shadow and saying, “It seems you really don’t hold a place in her heart!”
Shadow looked at Yun Qianyu with complicated eyes, though his posture seemed strange.
“I’ve always admired those who are absolutely loyal, so I didn’t poison you. In another fifteen minutes, you’ll be free.”
Long Xiangluo, inside the room, was shocked by Yun Qianyu’s words. If the poison wasn’t on Shadow, then who was it on? Remembering Yun Qianyu’s confident tone just now, she was filled with dread. Could it be…?
