Chapter 732 Anger (5)

Pei Lang shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this. He wanted to deny Shen Miao's words, thinking that Shen Miao was still young and didn't understand how important a woman's lifelong event was. She was just being angry at the moment, and would regret it later when she understood the reason and suffered. However, when he looked up and saw Shen Miao's expression, he was speechless.

Shen Miao's expression was serious. She was cold and indifferent, with a faint weariness towards the affairs of the outside world, as if she would subconsciously feel disgusted at the mere mention of them. She truly didn't care.

But how can a woman not care about the person who accompanies her for life?

Pei Lang stared at Shen Miao blankly.

When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, he heard malicious ridicule coming from behind him: "I didn't expect there was such a romantic affair."

Shen Miao suddenly turned around, only to see two masked men in black appear behind her. Both of them were holding long swords in their hands and rushed towards Shen Miao.

Pei Lang hurriedly pulled Shen Miao away, and Shen Miao shouted sternly, "Who are you?"

"Miss Chen, don't blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for blocking someone else's way!" The two men laughed sinisterly, one of them rushed towards Pei Lang, and the other came towards Shen Miao with a sword in hand.

It was a fatal move that left no chance of survival.

Shen Miao thought to herself, "This is bad!" She hadn't expected Pei Lang to find this place, which would make it easier for others to kill and silence witnesses. She pressed the bracelet on her wrist, but it only worked at close range. At the critical moment, two stones flew out of the air, hitting the two men in black squarely on the knees. They screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Swish", two sword lights flashed, and two people suddenly rushed out, stabbing the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand into the other's chest with their backhands.

All this happened so fast that there was no chance for anyone to breathe. The two people who appeared from behind were dressed as palace guards and bowed to Shen Miao.

Pei Lang was about to speak when he saw another person falling from the roof. He was tall and straight, wearing a purple and gold robe, a silver mask, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were as sharp as a knife.

But it was King Rui.

"Your Highness Prince Rui..." Pei Lang muttered. He was naturally intelligent, and with a quick thought, he realized that the two guards before him, dressed like guards, must be Prince Rui's subordinates. And he didn't know who the black-clad men who had tried to silence him were. Although he didn't know the relationship between Shen Miao and Prince Rui, Pei Lang didn't dare neglect it. He was extremely vigilant, but a polite smile appeared on his face. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Rui, for your help."

Prince Rui said nothing, but glanced at him coldly. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly through the half-silver mask, Pei Lang felt that the look was particularly cold, sending a chill down his spine.

Shen Miao frowned, but Prince Rui had already grabbed her arm and turned to walk out. Pei Lang was startled and quickly called out, "Prince Rui, no!"

But the two guards in front of her suddenly blocked her way.

The two guards were both menacing, emitting a murderous aura. Pei Lang was a scholar, not a martial artist, so even if he wanted to help, he couldn't. Shen Miao, on the other hand, was dragged along, stumbling along. But she turned around and said calmly, "Mr. Pei, please go back first. I have some business with Prince Rui."

Prince Rui's pace quickened.

Pei Lang looked at the two disappearing figures. The two guards in front of him looked at him in confusion before leaving.

But there were still two bodies on the ground, and Pei Lang couldn't stay there for long. He didn't know what kind of relationship or fate there was between Shen Miao and Prince Rui, but... his heart suddenly felt a little empty.
