Hmm... After Leng Qingjue said so much, Xia Chao and Wang Ci remained silent for a moment, then turned their gazes to Xuan Yuanfei.
Xia Chao asked, "What brings the Fourth Prince here today?"
"I'm here today only to bear witness for Miss Leng." That's what Xuan Yuanfei thought. If Xia Chao refused to release her or tried to make things difficult for Leng Qingjue, he would have to help her. After all, his status was what it was, and Xia Chao wouldn't be foolish enough to oppose him on the spot.
But Xuan Yuanfei miscalculated, because Xia Chao simply said, "Since she wants to leave, then let her leave."
Xuan Yuanfei, who was about to stand up for his beloved in a cool way, suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Leng Qingjue snorted coldly, "You guys are quite sensible."
She has recently been cultivating her own power, such as establishing the largest assassin organization spanning two countries. Establishing an organization is no easy task, the most important things being funding and manpower. Leng Qingjue is not short of money; she can easily earn a lot by selling a single pill she has refined. Moreover, the general of Nanxiang Kingdom is her sworn brother, and the young and promising emperor of Nanxiang Kingdom is a patient she has cured. On the Mingzi Kingdom side, the fourth prince is her friend, and the young prime minister is her confidant. One of them can play the zither, and the other can play the flute, so they are indeed kindred spirits... and so on. Her friends can be said to be spread across both countries.
Strangely, all her friends were men, and all of them wanted to pursue her.
But Leng Qingjue, a woman of few words and ruthless nature, simply patted each of the men on the shoulder and told them that she only considered them brothers.
This is truly a touching sentiment.
Feng Guang suddenly asked Leng Qingjue, "You caused my illness to flare up that day, haven't you apologized to me yet?"
"Heh, I was merely giving you a taste of your own medicine. Why should I apologize to you?" Leng Qingjue's expression was aloof and cold, possessing an unapproachable nobility.
That's fucking prestigious.
Feng Guang's lips twitched. "When did I make you feel like you were about to die?"
"Since you've brought it up, then let's talk about what happened two months ago when I fell into the water." It was because of that fall into the water that the fool Xia Wuyuan was gone, and Leng Qingjue came.
Feng Guang paused for a second, then asked, bewildered, "What does your falling into the water have to do with me?"
"The moment I fell into the water, you appeared on the shore. Did you really think I would believe I fell in by accident?"
“You said I only appeared after you fell into the water. I heard the noise and went to call for help, okay?” Feng Guang really couldn’t understand whether Leng Qingjue had paranoia. She continued, “Everyone in your courtyard is crazy. They always think I would harm you. Did you hear your maid say that I appeared on the shore and then think that I pushed you into the water? Ask the others now… just say this maid.”
Feng Guang looked at the round-faced maid standing to the side, "You were on the shore that day too. Tell her why she fell into the water?"
“It was the Second Miss who said…” The maid glanced at Leng Qingjue, probably wanting to laugh but holding it back, “The Second Miss said she was going to fish the sun out of the water, so she jumped in herself.”
Feng Guang pouted, "Leng Qingjue, did you hear that?"
"Hmph, why would I say I want to go scoop up the sun for no reason? It's because someone is instigating me behind the scenes."
