Although this guy was quite humorous, Xiao Tang didn't have the time to explain so much to him.
"Regardless, I will only give you the Gluttonous Stone you want once you find and give it to me. What do you think of this deal?"
The man chuckled softly.
Although he had just woken up from an illness and his face was somewhat pale, this cold laugh really suited his appearance.
Xiao Tang remained unmoved.
Seeing that she was still standing straight, the man's expression naturally showed more pleasure.
"Looks like you really have guts."
"..." She's spineless, she's a coward, please don't misunderstand, brother.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll just send people to rob you, or even... kill you?"
It's that same excuse again.
Xiao Tang said she's really tired of listening to these things lately.
She was unaware that she had recently heard so many comments from Na Liu urging her to "kill her".
First it was Xiao Yiran and his sister, then the male lead, and now even the Marquis of Dingbei is threatening to "kill her".
Don't these people pose any interesting threat?
She was numb.
"My lord, if I were afraid you would snatch it, I wouldn't be holding it and playing with it in the first place. What do you think?"
She raised her eyebrows, a half-smile playing on her lips.
Even now, Ning Cang's expression was stern and terrifying.
But Xiao Tang remained calm and composed.
After a moment of eye contact, Ning Cang finally chuckled, "Since you've brought it up, I naturally agree. Alright!"
He summoned his guards and quickly ordered, "Go to Jingyin Temple to find this Heartbreak Grass. Buy it no matter how much silver it costs."
The guard responded and left.
"So, are you relieved now?"
Hearing Ning Cang's question, Xiao Tang shrugged slightly.
"Of course, I'm relieved."
After saying that, she turned and left.
"Wait," Ning Cang called out to her again.
"Since Mr. Hao Fang will be staying in Rongzhou these days, why not stay at my residence? I will not treat you badly."
"Hmm?" Xiao Tang raised an eyebrow but did not turn around.
The man then emphasized, "You can rest assured, I will not allow anyone to harm you."
Goodness.
This guy is loyal and trustworthy!
She suddenly felt a bit gossipy: what grudge did this guy have against the Regent?
Judging from Ning Cang's character, he's really not too bad.
“Alright, since the Marquis is so hospitable, I can’t refuse.”
When Di Yanhen learned that "Hao Fang" had actually stayed overnight at the Marquis of Dingbei's residence, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
He really couldn't understand it.
This is the enemy!
...
Xiao Tang had settled down at the Marquis's residence. Just as she was about to blow out the candles and rest, the door was suddenly kicked open.
That idiot Di Yanhen is here.
"Hao Fang, let me tell you, don't think you can fool me with your sweet words just because you can fool the Marquis of Dingbei!"
He glared at Xiao Tang.
His voice was full of sternness.
Looking at Xiao Tang is like looking at a mortal enemy.
Xiao Tang burst out laughing when she saw his angry eyes.
"Seventh Prince, why are you so nervous?"
“Since I made a three-point agreement with the Marquis, I certainly can't do anything to him. But you—”
She glanced at him with disdain and contempt.
"You're living such a carefree life here, I wonder if you still remember your Xiao Rourou?"
The sarcasm intensified; she scoffed, "You're a total jerk."
However, Di Yanhen didn't know what "scumbag" meant; he just subconsciously thought it was an insult.
Clench your fists into your arms at your sides.
"Hao Fang, don't be too smug. I'll make you pay!"
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and abruptly approached Xiao Tang.
"If you want me to spare your life, hand over the Gluttonous Stone, and I'll spare your life!"
It is said that the Taotie Stone is an ancient evil object, but carrying it can bring special power and luck.
Who knows, he might end up with this Taotie Stone and ascend the throne.
The thought alone excited him.
Xiao Tang crossed his arms. "Seventh Prince, I advise you to go back to sleep and dream!"
Di Yanhen glared at her fiercely.
I was just about to reach out and strangle her...
Sudden.
search--
A hidden weapon suddenly flew into the room, knocking Di Yanhen unconscious with perfect accuracy.
The darts on the ground have round heads.
Xiao Tang realized that it was Xiao Yiran's dart and looked up in surprise.
Sure enough, upon seeing the man squatting by the window, they clicked their tongues and said, "This seventh prince of Dasheng is a fugitive now, yet he's still so arrogant."
"How did you end up here?" Xiao Tang asked.
She didn't know why, but when she saw this man again, she felt a sense of familiarity.
Xiao Yiran is a good-looking man.
Especially after the pustules on his face disappeared, his features were surprisingly delicate and handsome.
However, Xiao Tang, who was used to seeing handsome men, was naturally immune to such looks.
The problem is...
She couldn't figure out where this sense of familiarity came from.
Xiao Yiran jumped down from the window. "I was quite worried about you, so I came to check on you. Mr. Hao Fang, the Marquis of Dingbei is also very ruthless by nature, so you'd better be careful."
I never expected that he was worried about me.
Xiao Tang felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Especially after finding out that this man shared the same last name as her...
Her feelings for this man increased dramatically.
"It's nothing, thank you."
It's strange, but when I first thought this man was called "Laughing Madman," I thought he was a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).
