Zheng Qing was extremely anxious.
Although the pain felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, he still possessed an iron will.
"Don't take it off! Jiang Qingwan, I'm warning you, you are already the princess bestowed upon Yun Han by the royal family. If you dare to do anything to betray Yun Han, I will haunt you even after I become a ghost."
He turned his head with difficulty, waiting intently for the shadow.
"Kill me! I'm not afraid of death. If you have the guts, kill me. What kind of skill is it to threaten women with me? If I even flinch, I'm not a man."
The branches tightened again.
Jiang Qingwan coldly snapped, "I know what you want! Come out!"
Zheng Qing was about to ask who else was there when suddenly everything went black and he fainted.
Jiang Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the branches around him had receded.
The shadow slowly retreated a step, and Su Weichuan walked out from a corner of the corridor.
"Ninth Princess Consort, how have you been?"
Jiang Qingwan sneered.
"You sent men to ambush me on my way to Xuanling Mountain, and now you've tricked me into coming here. Isn't it all for the Heart of the Sea Dragon?"
Su Weichuan smiled.
"Yes, I have solid information. The Heart of the Sea Dragon is not in the Imperial Mausoleum, so it must be with you. Hand it over, and I guarantee none of you will die."
Jiang Qingwan was curious.
"The Heart of the Sea Dragon is indeed a rare treasure, but it's not something that would make you, Prince Su, go to such lengths to obtain it. What is your purpose in obtaining it?"
Su Weichuan raised his hand.
"The things are mine to begin with, and how I use them is none of the Ninth Princess's business. It is only right to return what is borrowed."
The Heart of the Sea Dragon truly belongs to Su Weichuan.
It is indeed only right to return it after use.
Jiang Qingwan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Prince Su, I can give you the item, but there's something you need to understand. This item wasn't borrowed by me; it was borrowed by the Great Zhou royal family. Also, don't think that just because I'm young, I deserve to be schemed against. When you took me to retrieve the treasure, you only wanted to use me to break the taboo on it, but you never intended to lend it to me. If it weren't for Your Highness saving me, I'm afraid you would have killed me long ago. Therefore, the word 'borrow' doesn't apply. According to the rules of the martial world, whoever snatches the treasure keeps it."
Su Weichuan didn't understand why this girl was arguing about the meaning of the word "borrow".
He was impatient and urged in a low voice.
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the stuff."
Jiang Qingwan put her hands behind her back.
“Since it’s not borrowed, it’s mine. If you want it, I can give it to you, but in exchange. Where is my senior brother? If anything happens to him, you can forget about getting the Heart of the Sea Dragon in this lifetime.”
Su Weichuan didn't hesitate upon hearing this.
He gestured to the shadow.
Soon, Shadow carried Dou Sichen, who was tied to a chair, out of the room.
In Jiang Qingwan's memory, her senior brother was a serious and rigid person.
Except when she gets angry while being forced to study pharmacology, her emotions are extremely stable at other times.
But at this moment, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Su Weichuan, his lips bleeding from biting them in resentment, struggling desperately to pounce on him.
It seems there is an irreconcilable deep-seated hatred between them.
"Senior Brother, are you alright?"
Jiang Qingwan's voice pulled Dou Sichen back from his hatred.
He turned his head, but his gaze held no warmth whatsoever.
"Who sent you? Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Jiang Qingwan was stunned.
I have absolutely no idea what happened to my senior brother.
However, he appeared unharmed and had not been subjected to any methods.
She had no time to think about it.
“Prince Su, release my senior brother. I will offer the Heart of the Sea Dragon with both hands.”
Su Weichuan suddenly gave a sinister smile.
"The methods of the Zhuge Clan are unpredictable and impossible to guard against. Jiang Qingwan, I don't like others playing tricks on me."
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed Dou Sichen in the shoulder.
Metaphysics instantly stained the blue robe red.
Dou Sichen groaned in pain, but gritted his teeth and didn't cry out.
Each profession has its own expertise.
Within the Zhuge Sect, not everyone is like Jiang Qingwan, capable of mastering all the sect's techniques.
Not everyone is like the Third Senior Brother, who can walk on flat ground amidst the turbulent river.
Dou Sichen is a medical prodigy, but his martial arts and Taoist cultivation are both mediocre.
The only thing they can boast about is that their lightness skill is decent.
These methods, which are sufficient for ordinary times, are completely inadequate against Su Weichuan.
Jiang Qingwan was extremely anxious.
"If you dare to hurt my senior brother, I will..."
Su Weichuan raised his knife again, "You're so stubborn, but my knife is faster."
"Okay!" Jiang Qingwan dared not gamble and could only tell the truth.
"It's not that I don't want to give it to you. By chance, during the repair of the Nine Dragons Formation, I absorbed the Heart of the Sea Dragon and it has become one with me. My blood contains the spiritual energy of the Heart of the Sea Dragon. If you release my senior brother, I will stay here and do with him as you please!"
Dou Sichen shouted anxiously.
"Jiang Qingwan, are you crazy? I don't need your help. Just leave, listen to me, leave now!"
By the end, his voice had become pleading.
Jiang Qingwan found it increasingly strange.
The eldest brother in my memory never showed this kind of expression.
What exactly happened?
Or has something happened to Zhuge Men?
Her thoughts were in turmoil, and before she knew it, Su Weichuan was already in front of her.
Just as she was thinking of subduing the person, her limbs were bound again by black tree branches.
Dou Sichen struggled and shouted.
"Don't touch her! You're not allowed to touch her!"
Jiang Qingwan felt a sharp pain in her dantian.
Looking down, she saw Su Weichuan's hand pressed against her lower abdomen through her clothes.
