Chapter 70 Master

Ling Qingyan really wanted to roll her eyes at Mu Xianzhi.

Could everyone please stop fighting and killing each other?

Can we live in peace? Wouldn’t it be better to be peaceful?

She would be sad if anyone died, okay?

"Mu Xianzhi, we can't be too confident in ourselves." Ling Qingyan said tactfully, "You're always fighting and killing people, aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?"

Do you really think Ji Yanxing is someone who is easy to kill?

It’s hard to say what the final outcome will be, and even if Mu Xianzhi really killed Ji Yanxing, it would be difficult for him to hide his identity.

It will only hurt both sides, so why bother?

"Your Highness, are you worried about me or him?" Mu Xianzhi's voice was low and his eyes were deep.

Nonsense, of course I'm worried about whoever asks in front of her.

Ling Qingyan pulled his hand over and held his palm. His hand was much colder than hers, but the joints were distinct and quite beautiful.

Mu Xianzhi's expression changed slightly when he felt the warm touch.

I only heard the girl say softly with some doting: "I'm worried about you, okay? Are you satisfied?"

"Master Mu is really jealous and stubborn. Don't you know who I'm worried about?"

"You're always fighting and killing at night, and sometimes I can't sleep because I'm worried~" The girl put his hand on her cheek and rubbed him like a kitten. No one would remain unmoved.

"So, please stop doing dangerous things and don't make me worry, Mu Xianzhi." Her eyes were bright, like stars.

The girl's expression was so alluring that Mu Xianzhi's throat rolled slightly and he wanted to draw again.

"Your Highness, I think..." His voice was hoarse.

Ling Qingyan immediately jumped up, stood in front of him, and covered his mouth with her soft hands.

"You don't want to." Her cheeks were slightly red. The memory of last time had such a huge impact on her that she was afraid that some strange ideas would come out of Mu Xianzi's mouth.

I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it.

Mu Xianzhi sighed, his tone quite regretful, "Alas, His Highness refuses to paint new paintings, so I can only appreciate those two paintings over and over again."

Ling Qingyan looked at him in horror and surprise, her tone rising a bit: "Two?!"

Where did these two pictures come from?

Wasn’t it just the last time?

Then there was the normal painting when I first saw him killing someone.

Ling Qingyan seemed to have realized something and said, "Master Mu, you wouldn't be so perverted as to do something abnormal to a little girl like me whom you had only met a few times the night you kidnapped me for the first time."

She remembered that he painted for a long time that night.

He only showed her one painting in the early morning, and didn't show her the other one. She thought it was his scrapped draft.

Now, we have to look at him with the most perverted speculation.

Mu Xianzhi rubbed her head.

"Your Highness is so smart." There was no emotion of inappropriateness or shame in his eyes, only admiration for the girl.

It was as if she had answered a question in his class correctly and was praised for it.

"Mu Xianzhi is such a pervert." Ling Qingyan retorted.

However, Mu Xianzhi smiled with satisfaction as if he had been praised, "As long as Your Highness likes it."

Ling Qingyan: ...

"But if Your Highness wants to see the painting, you have to go home with me. It's not here." Mu Xianzhi coaxed.

Ling Qingyan inexplicably thought of the big bad wolf in the fairy tale world, who had no good intentions.

"No." Ling Qingyan refused flatly. "Master Mu is such a pervert. Who knows if he will do anything excessive to this princess when we return to your territory."

"Alas." Mu Xianzhi sighed, "Your Highness is really too vigilant. It's not easy to deceive him."

His gaze fell on her fair wrist again, with a faint smile on his face, "This bracelet is really an eyesore no matter how I look at it. How about I help Your Highness deal with it?"

Ling Qingyan subconsciously pulled her hand back and said awkwardly, "No thanks."

“After all, it’s so valuable. Although I can’t repay General Ji’s friendship, I don’t want such a valuable thing to go wrong in my hands.”

"Qingyan is such a kind child." Mu Xianzhi's smile did not reach his eyes.

Marrying Ling Yao, the sixth princess of Ling State, was a foregone conclusion, and Xiao Yuanzhao had to marry her even if he didn't want to.

These days, the Ministry of Rites has been busy with the princess's marriage arrangements.

Xiao Yuanzhao was wandering around the capital of Ling State.

It is indeed much more prosperous and wealthy than Li State, and there are many things that Xiao Yuanzhao has never seen.

On the street, several people were queuing at a fortune-telling stall.

The fortune-teller looked young and had his eyes covered. There were indeed many people surrounding him devoutly.

Xiao Yuanzhao sneered and walked past him, intending to leave.

"This young man from a foreign country has not been having a good time these days." The young man suddenly spoke, and his clear and mysterious voice reached Xiao Yuanzhao's ears.

Xiao Yuanzhao stopped walking. He was followed by two guards. They looked like they were not easy to deal with, so his approach made the people in front of the stall retreat.

Xiao Yuanzhao waved in front of the blind fortune teller.

"You really can't see?" Xiao Yuanzhao felt strange. Even though he couldn't see, he could still know that he was a foreigner. Could it be that this blind young man really had some ability?

"I can't see it, but I know that the young master came to Lingguo for important matters. He is also extremely rich and noble, and is not an ordinary person." Yan Hong smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared on his lips when he smiled.

He clearly doesn't look like a person with any special skills, but his identity actually matches Xiao Yuanzhao's.

"What else do you know?" Xiao Yuanzhao found it interesting and sat down, asking the guards to give silver to the people of Ling State nearby to drive them away.

"I know all this because Your Highness and I have a chance. If I want to know anything else, I will need Your Highness's horoscope." Yan Hong's smile did not diminish.

Xiao Yuanzhao was shocked.

He knows his identity!

He really has some skills!

Xiao Yuanzhao told him his birth chart.

After all, Yan Hong has many years of experience in deceiving people, and he knows what movements and finger-counting techniques are most convincing and can create mystery.

On the busy street, he blindfolded himself, fiddling his rough fingers back and forth, as if he had calculated something. Sometimes he clenched his fists, sometimes he stretched them out. His movements were so well-regulated and smooth that even Xiao Yuanzhao was nervous.

"How is it?" Xiao Yuanzhao's voice was a little nervous.

In the dark, Chen Chuo leaned against the wall of the alley, holding his sword and looking at his friend who was cheating him.

They are getting more and more deceptive.

That prince is also stupid, but it’s better to be a little stupid. It’s better to be a little stupid.

Chen Chuo told Yan Hong a lot of recent information about Xiao Yuanzhao. Coupled with his superb deception skills, the two of them worked together well and it was easy to accomplish the task.

"Hmm..." Yan Hong seemed hesitant to say it.

Xiao Yuanzhao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just speak boldly. Good or bad, I won't blame you, and I will even give you money."

Yan Hong seemed to have finally dared to speak out, saying, "Your Highness has had a lot of troubles lately. He has been plotted against and suffered a lot of grievances. The princess who was married off is not the one Your Highness wanted to marry."

Xiao Yuanzhao was shocked and looked at the young man in shock.

Master!
