Chapter 389 The Hunter and the Prey



Ever since he knew that she was Young Master Lingjun, Jun Xi became even more respectful towards her.

Even Ling Feng found it a little strange.

Although the Seventh Prince is not favored by the Emperor of Xiling, he is still a prince of a country. Why does he treat her so specially?

"Young Master." Qian Jinnian handed an envelope to him before leaving: "The Seventh Prince's mother is still alive."

"Alive?"

"Rather than being alive, it's better to say that he is a living dead." Qian Jinnian coughed, "He sleeps day and night, and occasionally wakes up in a crazy state."

I see.

Ling Feng looked at the content of the letter and found that the Seventh Prince wanted Shang Ruoyi to treat his mother.

But the fact is that he had been Shang Ruoyi's bodyguard before he knew that she was the Divine Doctor Lingjun. For a prince to be her bodyguard, this matter might not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Or did the Seventh Prince know Shang Ruoyi's identity from the beginning?

Her identity...

Princess Ding!

Just then, Shang Ruoyi's voice came over.

"Shopkeeper Qian, I'm sorry to see you!"

Qian Jinnian quickly turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Master Lingjun."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Manager Qian, are you feeling well?"

"Thank you for your concern."

Before Ling Feng left, he said to Shang Ruoyi, "Please ask Master Lingjun to help me detoxify."

"Why?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "When I led the Southern Xinjiang army into the border, I almost made the people of Qingzhou pay the price for my stupidity. How can I atone for my sins if I don't suffer a little? Where do the souls of those who died in this war rest in peace?" She looked at Qian Jinnian and saw that his back was bent. She said without any mercy, "Shopkeeper Qian, after so many years, I don't object to you avenging your family, but you should know who to avenge, instead of thinking that everyone has betrayed you. Your daughter was killed by Emperor Shun and the people sent by you, so you should go to Emperor Shun to avenge him. No one will stop you, instead of dragging the entire country to be buried with your family for your own selfish desires."

Qian Jinnian nodded without saying anything.

"You lost your daughter. Do you know how many people in Qingzhou have been implicated this time? Your daughter died, but what about their daughters? You are still alive without your daughter, but what about those young children who lost their parents?" Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "I can give you the antidote, but I will not forgive you, and neither will the people of Qingzhou."

Seeing the look in his eyes, she continued, "Don't think about dying to apologize. Only cowards would want to die. Your death won't change anything in your life. You might as well think about doing something for those people to make their lives better."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Jinnian, who had been lifeless, suddenly lit up his eyes.

Do something for us.

"Thank you, Dr. Lingjun, for your guidance." 놛's eyes were red and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes: "I know what to do." After he finished speaking, 놛 turned and left.

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that you could mobilize 놛's spirit and energy with just a few words." Ever since Qian Jinnian found out that the targets of their revenge for so many years were wrong, he almost couldn't recover.

Shang Ruoyi pouted: "I'm not helping you, let alone helping you. I just saw that you have a lot of money in Chiyu Villa, so I'll use it to help the people."

"Thanks."

Shang Ruoyi ignored her, waved her hand, and turned away.

After everyone left, Jun Xi walked out from the darkness, staring at the direction Shang Ruoyi left. As expected of the princess consort of Prince Ding, she was indeed a woman who cared about her father.

"Master." A voice came from behind.

Jun Xi frowned: "Didn't I say you wouldn't follow me?"

"Shu 떘, Shu 떘, I'm still worried."

"What are you worried about? This is the territory of Akabane Villa. Who dares to cause trouble here?" He said in a cold voice, "Don't ruin this prince's good deeds."

Seeing that there was no one around, Jun Xi went to his room.

After Wang left, Shang Ruoyi, who had clearly walked very far away just now, slowly walked out of the space. This Jun Xi really had his purpose. He dared to treat her as a prey. It was really embarrassing. Now it was still unknown who was the hunter and who was the prey!

The next day was the auction.

Shang Ruoyi was dressed in men's clothes and did not wear a mask.

"Divine Doctor Lingjun, why are you dressed like this today?"

"Hey!" Shang Ruoyi tapped her palm with the fan in her hand: "Today, don't call me Divine Doctor Lingjun. I'm not wearing a mask and don't want people to know my identity. You can just call me Rujun!"

"Rujun and Lingjun are not much different." Junxi said with a smile, "Then please give me more advice, Master Rujun."

"Master Ye, would you like to go with me?"

"No, no!" Ye Lao shook his head: "It's not worth it for an old man like me to spend money like this. If I go to kill people, I can still be interested."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Senior, if you find something you like, I can pay for it."

"Really?" The old man's eyes flashed, "The old man has very high standards! He doesn't care about ordinary things. The ones he likes must be very valuable."

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

"good!"

They walked into the auction hall holding the token of Akabane Villa.

Compared with the one in Beiling, this auction house is much larger.

"Tsk tsk tsk, just look at this gate, you know it must be full of treasures." Old Ye rubbed his hands: "Looking at so many treasures that I can't take, my hands are itching."

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Master Ye, you told me that you were the number one killer in Southern Xinjiang. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true!"

"But looking at you, there's something wrong with you."

"What's wrong?"

"Now it seems that you are not the number one killer, but the number one thief."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

"How dare you talk like that, little kid?" Ye Lao's face turned red, and he said with his eyes wide open: "I am the number one killer!"

"Okay, okay." Shang Ruoyi saw that he was a little angry, and hurriedly said, "First Killer, First Killer."

"I just killed someone and looted his belongings."

Shang Ruo nodded as if nothing had happened: "I don't know if he killed someone first or if he killed someone for money because he saw their things."

Old Ye glared at her, knowing that he could not win the argument, so he did not want to argue with her.

Ling Feng walked in front, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly. Her ability to use a sharp tongue was still unmatched.

At this moment, a waiter came forward and said respectfully: "Dear guests, would you like to sit at the open table on the first floor or in the private room on the first floor?"
