Chapter 52 Chapter 52 The one who made the red orb light up...
The banquet came to an end. Sang Ling reluctantly stepped down from the stage. Gou Qiu's hurried figure came towards her.
When Gou Qiu saw her, he immediately handed her a jade pendant, "Someone sent it to Chunming Pavilion and specifically said it was for you."
Sang Ling looked at the jade pendant and didn't say anything. Gou Qiu's anxious voice continued to be heard:
"Many people have sent gifts in the past, but I always feel that this is wrong. By the way, I saw that the demon prince left early. Maybe he didn't recognize you? After all, you are already dead in the fairy world. A dead fairy world white moonlight is an idol in the demon world. No one dares to guess."
Sang Ling stared at the jade pendant, breaking Gou Qiu's fantasy.
"This jade pendant is what I gave him back then."
Of course the demon prince recognized her, but what is unknown now is whether his intentions were good or evil.
Back then, thanks to the cooperation between the fairy world and the demon clan, the two were able to stand together peacefully. Now, she is no longer the eldest sister of the Cangwu Fairy Mansion, and he is no longer the gentle prince of the demon clan.
Sang Ling took the jade pendant, pondered for a moment, and had to think of some countermeasures.
In the compartment of Zuo Qiuyu in Chunming Pavilion, the demon prince was brewing tea as if no one was around. The compartment door was hastily opened, and Zuo Qiuyu walked in eagerly, bowing and saying:
"Your Highness."
The demon prince didn't even look at her and continued drinking his tea.
After a long silence, Zuo Qiuyu spoke first: "Your Highness, I have met many guests recently, but the red orb has not lit up yet."
The demon prince finally looked up at her, but the first thing he said was not about the pearl, but:
"I went to see the Jiaotai Banquet today."
Zuo Qiuyu's expression froze for a moment, and he asked tentatively, "Have you seen Sang's..."
Before he finished speaking, the demon prince smiled slightly and said playfully, "Compared to her, it's not unfair that you lose."
Zuo Qiuyu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness is right."
Rather than winning or losing, what she cares more about now is whether the demon prince will still have the same idea after watching Sang's performance.
Sang's performance seems to have some kind of magic. Most of those who have seen it become her fans, and each of them is sincere.
Will the demon prince also...
The demon prince seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He laughed and flicked his fingertips, causing the teacup to hum. Zuo Qiuyu could not hear his voice clearly, but she heard the most crucial sneer.
That mocking and sarcastic laugh immediately dispelled Zuo Qiuyu's thoughts.
The demon prince was still laughing as he savored Sang Ling's performance.
He touched the corner of his upturned mouth, frowned, and then brewed a cup of tea and pushed it to Zuo Qiuyu, saying:
"As long as you find someone who can make the red orb shine, I will tell you a piece of news."
Zuo Qiuyu took the teacup and asked anxiously without even drinking it, "What kind of news?"
The demon prince's eyes were indifferent: "One will make that Sang lose all the news."
Zuo Qiuyu's chest rose and fell violently, and she heard herself say, "I will definitely let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell me this news."
The demon prince did not react to her answer, as if it didn't matter whether he told her the news or not.
Zuo Qiuyu thought for a moment and asked again, "Your Highness, do you still want to see the dawn of victory that you originally wanted to see?"
Originally, when the demon prince came to her, he mentioned that crushing Sang was a game, and the prerequisite for helping her to defeat Sang was to see the dawn of victory.
Now, she has made all the preparations and is just waiting for the right time.
But today, the demon prince did not mention this at all, and only said that he would tell her the news after the red gem lights up.
Who knows when the red orb will light up, so she can only start her preparations now. Although the devastating news to Sang is enough, she would be more willing to give her some trouble before she is destroyed.
The demon prince looked up at her, sneered, and walked out the door.
Zuo Qiuyu looked anxious, but dared not say a word.
The demon prince went out, and Zuo Qiuyu heard his footsteps going away, and also heard a sentence:
“That gives me hope of victory.”
Only after the Demon Prince walked away did Zuo Qiuyu let go of her anger. Only now did she dare to be sure that the Demon Prince really had no feelings for Sang.
In order to get the news from the demon prince, Zuo Qiuyu increased her workload and welcomed guests in the opening room non-stop. After each guest drank a cup of tea in her compartment, they were asked to leave for the next one.
Such a hurried pace naturally caused dissatisfaction among many guests, but it didn't matter to Zuo Qiuyu. She just wanted to complete the task of the demon prince.
A demon prince is much more meaningful than these ordinary guests.
But the red orb never lit up, Zuo Qiuyu's expression became more and more ugly, and the guests' complaints became more and more.
Today, Zuo Qiuyu finally did not welcome the guests in a grand manner, because today was the day when the prince of the demon tribe was coming.
The demon prince would come here every few days to ask about the red gem.
Now, every time he sees Zuo Qiuyu, his mood becomes more and more fluctuating. The demon prince is now impatient and is implicitly scolding her for being too inefficient. The reason he found her is that she entertains and sees off many distinguished guests, and the probability of finding the person who gets the red gem through her is greater. If she is useless for a long time, the demon prince will definitely replace her.
Zuo Qiuyu is now a little frightened, fearing that the next time they meet, the demon prince will cancel the deal.
He still had devastating news about Sang in his hands.
Zuo Qiuyu was so nervous that she stood outside her interlude for a long time and didn't dare to go in.
But suddenly, the red gem in her arms flashed violently, so bright that it could not be covered by clothes.
Zuo Qiuyu's heartbeat stopped immediately, and ecstasy followed. She raised her eyes and immediately checked if there was anyone nearby. She heard footsteps around the corner.
The footsteps were light, step by step, stepping on Zuo Qiuyu's joy. She finally found the person who made the red gem light up!
The demon prince is in between scenes, and if she knows who made the red orb light up, she will immediately know what the devastating news about Sang is.
Step by step, the person finally turned the corner and came into her sight.
Zuo Qiuyu opened his eyes wide to look, and the moment he saw it, the smile on his face froze.
How could it be——Sang?
She couldn't believe it and immediately touched the red orb, but the red orb became even brighter.
If the red gem was not broken, then the person the demon prince was looking for was Sang.
It remains to be seen whether this result is good or bad for her.
Sang Ling looked at Zuo Qiuyu's changing expression and the dazed look in his eyes as he stared at her, and couldn't help but ask:
"You have something to tell me?"
Unexpectedly, this sentence seemed to touch Zuo Qiuyu, and she reacted very strongly, "What can I tell you?"
Sang Ling frowned and didn't ask any more questions.
She didn't ask any more questions, but Zuo Qiuyu started asking questions.
"Why are you here between scenes?"
Without waiting for Sang Ling to answer, she asked again with an angry look.
"Are you here for the demon prince?"
Her face was filled with anger and nervousness.
Sang Ling looked at her in confusion, not even wanting to argue, and walked away from Zuo Qiuyu's interlude.
She was indeed just passing by, and there was no such thing as her coming for the demon prince. However, Zuo Qiuyu seemed to be very nervous about the relationship between her and the demon prince.
Zuo Qiuyu finally let go of that breath. With Sang Ling's departure, the red gem in her arms lost its glow and returned to its original appearance.
"Why aren't you coming in yet?" The voice of the demon prince came from between the lines.
Zuo Qiuyu was shocked again. The soundproofing between the curtains was very strong and one could not hear anything outside. She did not expect that the prince of the demon clan was so perceptive that he even knew that she had been standing outside for a long time.
Then...Does he know about the red orb?
Zuo Qiuyu didn't dare to think any more and walked into the intermission.
During the intermission, her seat was occupied by the demon prince, so she could only sit in the guest seat, and all the initiative was in the hands of the demon prince.
The demon prince looked up at her, a smile on his lips, and finally asked the question that Zuo Qiuyu least wanted to hear.
"You just ran into Sang outside..."
It's not a question, it's an affirmative sentence.
Zuo Qiuyu pinched her dress tightly and said, "Yes, I just bumped into Sang."
The demon prince didn't react much, as if Sang was just an insignificant passerby to her.
Zuo Qiu's tone was slightly relaxed. After thinking for a long time, she gritted her teeth and asked the question she wanted to ask the most:
"Your Highness, why are you looking for someone who can make the red orb light up?"
She wanted to know whether the demon prince was a friend or an enemy to the person who made the red orb light up, and whether telling him this news would be good or bad for her.
Hearing this question, the demon prince looked up at her with a smile on his face. Although there was no trace of anger on his face, Zuo Qiuyu still felt half cold.
After a long while, the demon prince replied slowly:
"If we find this person, we might even kill him and thank him..."
Zuo Qiuyu was shocked.
The demon prince's eyes turned slightly, and with a smile on his lips he asked her:
"Why, did you find someone who can make the red orb shine?"
Zuo Qiuyu's expression froze, and he quickly said, "Not yet, Your Highness, please wait a few more days."
She suppressed the news that Sang Rang's red orb had lit up in her heart.
It's a 50-50 chance, she doesn't dare to gamble. If the demon prince wants to thank Sang in the end, then all her efforts during this period will be in vain.
She would never tell the demon prince this news unless it was absolutely necessary.
The demon prince didn't show any expression of joy or anger. He just held the cup of tea and watched without drinking.
"Too slow. I wonder if you are up to the task."
Zuo Qiuyu clenched his hands tightly, but his expression did not show.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Just give me some more time and I will definitely find that person."
The demon prince raised his hand and looked at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, "If you can't do it, maybe that Sang can be used by me."
Hearing Sang's name spoken by the demon prince again, Zuo Qiuyu was extremely panicked, fearing that the demon prince had already discovered the truth.
She suppressed her emotions and said calmly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince came to me first instead of Sang. There must be a reason, right? Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry. How could your judgment be wrong? I must be more useful than Sang."
The demon prince chuckled, and it was unknown what emotion he expressed.
Zuo Qiuyu continued:
"Don't you want to see the dawn of victory in this game? Tomorrow..."
"You'll see it tomorrow."
