Not long after Leng Yan returned to her own courtyard, another servant came to invite her to the reception room. This time, it was Xiao Qingchuan's man.
Leng Yan didn't ask any more questions and followed the servant to the reception room. When Leng Yan arrived, there were already two people sitting in the room. One was Xiao Qingchuan and the other was a beautiful woman. The woman's every move was full of arrogance. It seemed that she held a lot of power.
Leng Yan immediately guessed the woman's identity - the fourth princess of the Demon Realm, Xiao Huan.
Xiao Huan saw Leng Yan come in and looked at Xiao Qingchuan with a smile, but her smile was full of mockery. She said, "So this is the distinguished guest that Fifth Brother mentioned. But if she is a guest, why does she cover her face with a veil? Is it because her appearance is too eye-catching?"
Leng Yan looked at Xiao Huan, and her eyes met Xiao Huan's. Xiao Huan was stunned when she saw Leng Yan's eyes. The expression in Leng Yan's eyes was really too calm. She had met many people, but this was the first time she had seen eyes like the woman in front of her.
At this moment, Xiao Huan's heart was already filled with alarm. This woman was too dangerous and could not be kept alive.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huan looked at Leng Yan with a hint of caution. At this moment, she heard Leng Yan reply, "Fourth Princess, you are joking. I am plain-looking and I dare not offend your eyes, so I wear a veil."
Her tone remained calm, without any humility. Xiao Qingchuan, standing beside her, tried hard to suppress the twitching of his lips. Just looking at Leng Yan's appearance, she actually said she was plain. Even if she dared to say it, no one would dare to believe her.
Even Leng Yan's appearance is considered average, so how many beauties are there in the entire world of cultivation?
But Xiao Qingchuan still didn't expose her. He looked at Leng Yan and said, "Yun Qing, let me introduce you to this: this is my sister, the Fourth Princess of the Demon Realm." Leng Yan walked over and bowed to Xiao Huan, saying, "Greetings, Fourth Princess." Xiao Huan nodded, and then Xiao Qingchuan asked Leng Yan to sit next to him.
After Leng Yan sat down, the Fourth Princess Xiao Huan looked at Leng Yan and asked, "Your name is Yun Qing?" Leng Yan nodded and said, "That's me."
Xiao Huan then turned her gaze away and looked at Xiao Qingchuan, saying, "Fifth brother, do you know who tried to assassinate you this time? Tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Xiao Qingchuan smiled and said, "Fourth sister, you're joking. I was being hunted at the time, so how could I have the time to investigate who sent them?" Xiao Huan continued, "Has Fifth Brother found out yet?"
Xiao Qingchuan shook his head with some regret and said, "Not yet." Upon hearing this, Xiao Huan turned her gaze to Leng Yan who was sitting beside her and asked, "Then where did Fifth Brother meet this woman named Yun Qing?"
Xiao Qingchuan only said: "I was being chased by someone at that time, and it was she who saved me." As soon as these words came out, Xiao Huan's eyes turned unfriendly when she looked at Leng Yan.
Leng Yan lowered her eyes and said, "Fifth Prince, you're joking. Saving you is just a matter of convenience." As soon as these words came out, Xiao Huan's expression eased, but Xiao Qingchuan's eyes became dim.
Xiao Huan understood that Leng Yan meant that she didn't know the person she saved was Xiao Qingchuan, the Fifth Prince of the Demon Realm. She looked at Leng Yan and her tone softened. "Thank you, Miss Yun Qing, for saving my fifth brother. Take this brocade box as a thank you."
Leng Yan's tone remained calm as she spoke, "Fourth Princess, you are too kind. The Fifth Prince has already given the thank you gift."
Xiao Huan insisted on giving Leng Yan a thank-you gift, and in the end it was Xiao Qingchuan who accepted it on Leng Yan's behalf. Then Xiao Huan said goodbye.
After Xiao Huan left, Xiao Qingchuan turned around and smashed the thank-you gift she gave to Leng Yan into powder with a palm.
Leng Yan looked at me and said, "Now your second brother and fourth sister think I'm your weakness. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
Xiao Qingchuan took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand that had touched the box, then threw it on the ground and said, "What compensation do you want?"
Leng Yan looked at him and said, "That depends on how sincere the Fifth Prince is." Xiao Qingchuan was stunned. He didn't expect Leng Yan to be waiting for him here. Then he quickly reacted and said, "I promise I will never reveal your true identity to anyone. In addition, if I really become the Demon Lord, then I will give you anything you want as long as it is in the Demon Realm."
Xiao Qingchuan said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was: verbal promises are the most unreliable, and he still has the final say on what will happen at that time. Thinking of this, Xiao Qingchuan suddenly remembered that Leng Yan's previous promise to help him was just a verbal promise.
In an instant, a trace of vigilance flashed in Xiao Qingchuan's eyes. Although that trace of vigilance did not last even a moment, Leng Yan, who had been watching, still saw it.
Leng Yan sighed inwardly, "How slow he was to react. If she hadn't reminded Xiao Qingchuan, he might not have thought of it yet." However, what she wanted was for Xiao Qingchuan to be wary of her; that would be fun.
Xiao Qingchuan concealed his thoughts and looked at Leng Yan, only to see that Leng Yan looked normal, without any other emotions at all.
Leng Yan saw Xiao Qingchuan staring at her and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" At this time, the alert Xiao Qingchuan's IQ, which had been delayed for two days, finally returned.
He looked at Leng Yan and asked casually, "By the way, I haven't asked you why you helped me instead of others?"
Leng Yan asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Xiao Qingchuan said, "Let me hear the lie first." Leng Yan looked at him and said, "We are destined to meet. I met you on my first day in the Demon Realm." Xiao Qingchuan's mood improved a little.
Then he continued to ask: "Is it true?" Leng Yan: "I came here to fight the Demon Lord."
Xiao Qingchuan: ...What a simple and plain reason! He couldn't find any reason to refute it.
After Leng Yan finished speaking, she stood up and walked out. Xiao Qingchuan called her and Leng Yan turned to look at him. Xiao Qingchuan said, "Don't you want to see Sixth Brother? I'll take you there tomorrow." "Thank you."
