"A weak woman." The Crown Prince stood up and walked over, his gaze fixed on Xie Lingqin, cold and indifferent, sweeping over her from head to toe.
It was like being subjected to the torture of slow slicing.
"A seemingly weak woman could single-handedly kill three assassins, wreak havoc in the mansion, beat the young master of the Vice Minister so badly he couldn't get out of bed, and..."
"Stop." Xie Lingqin raised her hand. "Your Highness, the truth is I didn't ask you to teach me lightness skill, so you didn't need to do this..."
"Do you think I'm idle? You're so useless that you can't even escape. If I ask you to do something, you'll just be a burden to me and irresponsible towards your comrades' lives."
Fuck you.
These words immediately ignited Xie Lingqin's anger.
As the top assassin in her past life, when did she ever get spoken of in such a despicable way?
They also hold others back and are irresponsible for endangering their companions' lives.
“I have no companions, I only need to be responsible for myself.” Xie Lingqin raised her head, uncompromising. “Anyway, I won’t jump. If I jump, it would be irresponsible of me.”
"Are you really not going to jump?" Without the Crown Prince making any move, he had already stood in front of Xie Lingqin.
Fang Lingqin swallowed hard and took a step back. "Your Highness, forcing someone like this is not in line with your noble and precious nature... Ah..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Lingqin caught a gust of wind and trembled all over.
The crown prince actually threw her off a cliff.
Looking at the scenery rushing past on both sides and the endless abyss, feeling the complete weightlessness of her body, Xie Lingqin no longer wanted to die, but wanted to live. She raised her hand and grabbed, not caring what she grabbed, as long as she could slow down her falling body.
But this grab...
Soft, cool, silky to the touch, and this shape...
Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and looked up. What she had grabbed was the Crown Prince's arm.
The prince stood calmly on a very thin branch that stretched out from the edge of the cliff.
This... lightness skill is truly superb.
Her falling body hung suspended in mid-air. She glanced at the endless abyss below, shrouded in mist. Even though Xie Lingqin wasn't afraid, she couldn't help but feel a chill. She quickly looked up at the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, have you finished looking? Can you pull me up now?"
"Suspension a little longer isn't enough."
"What?" Xie Lingqin exclaimed in dismay, "The Crown Prince..."
"Don't you understand yet?" The crown prince lowered his gaze, looking down at her. His robes fluttered in the moonlight and swirling mist, like a deity descending from the heavens. His voice was clear, cold, and distant.
Xie Lingqin's forehead was covered in sweat, whether from the cold or from anxiety, it was hard to tell.
"What do you know?" Xie Lingqin asked, puzzled.
Yuwen Yao was quite patient this time, and as he spoke, he slowly squatted down.
But that extremely thin branch didn't even tremble.
His exceptional kung fu skills aroused Xie Lingqin's envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The Crown Prince flipped his long, slender fingers and instantly grasped Xie Lingqin's hand.
The fingers, filtered by the moonlight, were long and slender with distinct bones. Although beautiful, they were so cold to the touch, the coldness covering her entire hand, making one's mind skip a beat.
Xie Lingqin's starry eyes froze.
In that very instant, the prince had already pulled her back to the edge of the cliff.
She let go and took a step back. Just as Xie Lingqin felt relieved and safe, the Crown Prince suddenly attacked. In an instant, he was already close in, his hand about to slap her face.
Xie Lingqin, on high alert, did a somersault to barely dodge the attack. Just as she was about to retaliate, the Crown Prince stopped, put his hands behind his back, and looked at her with interest. "Your greatest skill is your extremely fast reaction. Even when you are pushed to the brink of death, you can maintain your reaction. Do you understand now?"
Xie Lingqin's eyes were deep and her lips were tightly pressed together.
"You mean I don't need to focus on learning lightness skills, but should instead hone what I'm good at to the extreme?"
"This child is teachable, not too stupid." The Crown Prince's lips seemed to curve into a handsome smile before he turned around and walked slowly.
"If you wish to learn, come here and wait for me at this time tomorrow."
The sound traveled from afar, yet every word reached my ears perfectly.
After a long while, Xie Lingqin slowly stood up from the ground and tightened her grip.
He's skilled in martial arts, incredibly capable, truly remarkable.
That's really... quite remarkable.
One sentence was all it took to clear her mind.
besides……
Wasn't the Crown Prince supposed to dislike her? He just held her hand, and didn't even wipe it with a handkerchief?!
With a sudden pang of anxiety, Xie Lingqin raised her hand and examined it from all angles to make sure there were no signs of poisoning before nervously curling her fingers.
Return home.
...
The moon was as deep as water.
The Crown Prince's residence.
Tingfeng has been standing at the main house door for quite some time now.
The prince had been back for a long time, but he didn't utter a sound. He just stood by the window, staring intently at his hands.
That's really strange.
"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" Tingfeng finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Tinghai Tingyu appeared from the shadows.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
They all looked anxious.
However, the prince gazed out the window at the moon, lost in thought, seemingly...
They heard the rain, they heard the sea, and the three of them exchanged a glance.
They must be seeing things correctly.
The crown prince didn't respond to them; he was actually... daydreaming.
Who is the Crown Prince? How could he be so distracted?
He kept staring at his hands, lost in thought.
And so...
Listening to the wind and the sea, listening to the rain recede, I try to recall.
Tonight, it seems the Crown Prince has arranged to meet someone at the teahouse to discuss some business.
The woman he was meeting was the eldest daughter of the Minister of War...
