East Side Hall of Cuiyun Palace
The closer Zong Zheng Xiaoting got, the more he felt the suction of the jade haze ball fragments. When Zong Zheng Xiaoting stopped at the east side hall, he could not see any trace of it. However, the suction was getting stronger and stronger.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned, stared at the palace wall that blocked his way, and blinked.
This gravitational force is not fake. The closer I get to it, the stronger the sensation becomes. Could it be outside the palace wall?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting climbed up the wall, tapped it lightly with his fingertips, and pouted slightly, "If only my arm wasn't injured, it would be fine. It's just a matter of climbing over a wall, how could it be that difficult for me? This is a bad year."
Give it a try!
Zong Zheng Xiaoting was getting more and more frightened and started to run. He saw a goose-yellow figure running towards the gate of Cuiyun Palace in a hurry, then turning nimbly and running back along the palace wall.
At the corner of the palace wall, the sensitivity of the jade became stronger and stronger. However, the rapid running also caused Zong Zheng Xiaoting to feel pain in his injuries.
"It hurts so much." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's brows were twisted into a knot, and his forehead was covered with sweat because of the pain he was trying to suppress.
only……
Zong Zheng Xiaoting endured the pain and squinted his eyes. This feeling seemed to be getting closer and closer!
Zong Zheng Xiaoting covered his wound and suddenly raised his head. His deep blue eyes were like an ocean, making it easy to get lost in them. This look was from the masked man that day!
"What's wrong with you?" Situ Xunxiao looked at the person in front of him. Although the red spots on her face were still there and her brows were slightly wrinkled, it was only a day. What happened to this little girl?
However, his words did not receive a response. The face of the person in front of him became paler and paler, and his breathing became heavier.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's strange look made Situ Xunxiao's gaze move to the area where the shoulder blade was pressed. His eyes suddenly sank. Wasn't that the place where the little girl was injured in suicide that night?
Situ Xunxiao hesitated for a moment, then he stiffened his body, picked up Zongzheng Xiaoting without saying a word, and jumped into the east side hall of Cuiyun Palace which was separated by a wall.
Situ Xunxiao took Zongzheng Xiaoting to the house where he had been hiding that day with ease. Although his face was cold as ice, a hint of nervousness was revealed in his eyes which Zongzheng Xiaoting could not see.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting just frowned slightly. Was this person just wandering around the outer wall? If he hadn't been seriously injured, he wouldn't have thought that he had met him by chance because he was so familiar with the place.
Today, this outfit, no matter how you look at it, is not a simple character. If I remember correctly, the pattern on the sleeves should be a totem that only a prince has, right? Zong Zheng Xiaoting kept searching in his mind for the clothes of various ministers and nobles that he had seen in Luozha State, and his certainty in his heart became more and more certain.
The evil prince?
Blue eyes?
Could it be that eyes like this are an alien existence in this place?
As far as I can remember, the banknotes that this guy named Xiao gave me were clearly from Luozhaguo!
Am I overthinking it?
But, that God of War Prince seems to be called Situ Xunxiao, right?
Xiao? Xiao?
Is it a coincidence?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting was so immersed in his own thoughts that he didn't realize that Situ Xunxiao had already placed him on the bed.
Situ Xunxiao looked at the distressed expression on Zongzheng Xiaoting's face and couldn't help but frown as well.
"Your face?" A deep and magnetic voice interrupted Zong Zheng Xiaoting's thoughts.
"The sequelae of the poison." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's uncertainty about Situ Xunxiao's identity made her defensively keep it a secret.
As Zongzheng Xiaoting spoke in a casual tone, Situ Xunxiao's eyes flashed with displeasure, "Is it worth it?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting naturally understood that the so-called worthwhile thing was for the money. She shook her head, looking frustrated, and then she said softly, "It's not worth it. If I had known earlier, I should have offered a higher price. Next time, I will definitely not suffer such a loss."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed, looking regretful. When he lowered his head, he also saw the jade pendant on Situ Xunxiao's waist.
No wonder I have been feeling the connection, it’s because of this jade pendant!
It is made of the same material as the Jade Haze Ball, and is as transparent as the small fragments on this Soul-Locking Bracelet, with a faint hint of red light hidden within it.
"Or else, will you compensate me for my hard work and sacrifice?" Zongzheng Xiaoting suddenly changed the subject and looked up at Situ Xunxiao with an expectant look on his face.
However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Situ Xunxiao's face show displeasure and disgust.
This person is obsessed with profit no matter what he says or does. Even if he saved me, he still has some ulterior motive. How can I think that this is a cover-up?
"You want so much money, so what?"
"Don't worry about this, young master." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's hopeful eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant. "Everyone has their own aspirations. Even a palace maid can have her own pursuits and plans for the future. How can you young masters understand?"
"Forget it, forget it. Go away. I'll find a way myself." Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed that it was a pity that the jade pendant was right in front of him but he couldn't get it. Without knowing the identity of this person, he should just give up.
However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's pitying gaze remained on Situ Xunxiao's waist.
Following Zongzheng Xiaoting's gaze, Situ Xunxiao also looked at the jade pendant on his waist. So, this was his idea? As if he was suspicious of something, Situ Xunxiao's face suddenly became sinister.
The air around him seemed to grow colder as Situ Xunxiao's attitude changed.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the man in front of him who changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book sensitively, and quickly retracted his gaze. It seemed that this jade pendant was still the scales of this man!
Originally, he stared at it with greedy eyes, just to test it. After all, the jade made from the scraps around the jade haze ball is of top quality. This man is of noble status and spends a lot of money. If he doesn't care about this jade, then he can ask for it. But now, there is such a big contrast. Then, this jade pendant is more than just a jade pendant to him.
"You'd better leave quickly. The princess will be back soon. It's not good for her to stay like this." Zong Zheng Xiaoting took advantage of the situation and quickly hinted to Situ Xunxiao to leave. However, Situ Xunxiao just stared at Zong Zheng Xiaoting without saying a word, as if he wanted to see something.
"If you don't want to raise the price, forget it. Why do you have to act like this, as if we have a deep hatred?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting put his hands on his hips, "I tell you, don't even think about saying in front of the princess that I took your money. If it's something that we both agreed on, you need character and credibility."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked wary and frightened, which made Situ Xunxiao irritated for no reason.
Damn it! What on earth am I doing!
"From now on, there will be no delays or debts between you and me." Situ Xunxiao threw down a stack of banknotes and disappeared in Cuiyun Palace, leaving Zongzheng Xiaoting alone. He touched his chin, looking at the receding figure, thoughtfully.
