Wang Yanzhang clutched his chest, groaning in pain. He hadn't even seen how Mu Ling attacked; he was instantly sent flying...
Although I wasn't seriously injured, my whole body ached as if it were being scraped by knives!
"The Crown Prince is indeed the Crown Prince; he doesn't even spare that she-devil Mu Ling..."
Wang Yanzhang couldn't help but mutter to himself!
"Mu Ling, you're Qingqing's master, after all. She's gone missing, you have to help find her..."
Wang Yanzhang, suppressing his discomfort, shouted loudly, but received no response. This frustrated him, and his mind began to wander, with him feeling that the relationship between Li Zhu and Mu Ling was not normal…
In a courtyard not too far from the East Palace!
Wang Riqing and Yuwen Yingying stared at the Sword Pavilion disciples who had surrounded them, their minds racing as they considered how to escape…
"Dear senior sisters, how have you been?"
No one paid any attention to Wang Riqing; they all stared at her with serious expressions, giving her no chance whatsoever!
"Senior Sister Xiyu, it's been so long since you came down the mountain. How long do you plan to stay this time?"
Wang Riqing looked at Xiyu, who was leading the group, but Xiyu remained unmoved despite Wang Riqing's call on her individually!
This left Wang Riqing feeling rather frustrated. These people were so heartless! They were supposed to be fellow disciples, yet they showed her no respect at all!
"Senior Sister Feixing, you've become even more beautiful..."
Wang Riqing praised the woman next to Xi Yu, but she didn't respond at all!
"Sister Qingqing, they're so fierce..."
Yuwen Yingying pouted and said, her eyes still showing a hint of fear!
The two turned around, only to find that there were also disciples of the Sword Pavilion behind them. They had no privacy at all!
"Senior Sister Xiyu, I want to leave the palace..."
Wang Riqing's eyes darted around, clearly indicating ill intentions...
"Let's take care of it right here..."
Xi Yu pointed to the open space next to her and said that in order to prevent them from escaping, Xi Yu and her group had gone to great lengths and did not want the two of them to leave their sight for even a moment!
"Senior Sister Xiyu, isn't this inappropriate? There are so many people here, I...I...feel embarrassed..."
"If you're too embarrassed, just keep it to yourself..."
The drizzle spoke bluntly and without any politeness!
Wang Riqing was also helpless. Mu Ling's personality had seriously affected his disciples and grand-disciples, especially Xi Yu. As the eldest sister, she was deeply loved by her master, who had even said in public that "Xi Yu is like me"...
However, she then looked at her second senior sister, Feixing. Unlike Xiyu, Feixing was more humane and had a good reputation among all her fellow disciples. She was also more popular, but under Muling's pressure, no one dared to show it!
"Second Senior Sister, would you like to come with me to the outhouse?"
Wang Riqing looked at Feixing with pleading eyes, and sure enough, Feixing couldn't stand her gaze, but she didn't agree immediately, only saying helplessly...
"Junior Sister Qingqing, don't blame Senior Sister. We were just following Master's orders. We all know you're full of tricks. If you escaped, we'd be in deep trouble. You know how strict Master is; we wouldn't dare challenge his authority. You'd better bear with it..."
Hearing Fei Xing's words, Wang Riqing felt helpless. She understood the difficulties her senior sisters faced, but she also knew that her master was assassinating her lover. If she didn't get out quickly, and Mu Ling killed Li Zhu, it would become a lifelong regret and pain for her...
"Dear senior sisters, if it's really necessary, please turn around. I'm really embarrassed with so many people here..."
In the end, Wang Riqing could only settle for second best and said:
"Senior Sister, you see, Qingqing really needs to use the restroom, so how about we..."
Fei Xing pointed behind him, his meaning clear: why don't we turn around?
Xi Yu's eyes revealed helplessness. She could only wave her hand to signal everyone to turn around. After all, if everyone formed a circle, no matter which direction Wang Riqing tried to leave from, it would alert one of them. All she needed to do was ensure that Wang Riqing couldn't escape...
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Wang Riqing's lips curled into a smug smile. She and Yuwen Yingying exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly at each other, then tapped the ground...
Soon, a snake poked its head out from where she had just knocked; it was the swarm of snakes that Li Zhu had sent out to search for them!
They knew that Li Zhu could control these snakes, so when they saw snakes appearing in the distance, they knew that Li Zhu must have thought they were missing and sent the snakes to find them…
As the snake poked its head out, flicking its tongue, a slight smile appeared on Wang Riqing's lips...
With so many people surrounding her, she indeed had no way to escape. But now that they've all turned around, she only needs to choose a weak spot and break outwards. Only one or two people can attack her immediately, instead of facing everyone at once. That's the point of turning around. By the time the others react, they'll have already escaped quite far. With the snakes blocking their way, their chances of escaping are very high...
Wang Riqing pointed to one of the weaker senior sisters, meaning that the snake should scare her. Girls have an innate fear of snakes, insects, and rodents. While the senior sister was in a state of panic, the two of them could quickly escape...
The snake bobbed its head up and down, indicating that it had received Wang Riqing's plan, before crawling towards the senior sister...
Wang Riqing and Yuwen Yingying watched the snake crawl towards them expectantly, already prepared to escape...
"Why hasn't it been resolved yet?"
The sound of drizzling rain made their hearts race instantly, giving them the feeling of being caught doing something wrong!
"Senior Sister Xiyu, please don't rush us. With so many people standing here, the psychological pressure is just too much..."
Wang Riqing quickly made up a story, but Xi Yu actually believed it despite its lack of persuasiveness, which prevented him from noticing the snake's presence immediately...
"Oh, there's a snake..."
Wang Riqing watched as the snake stealthily crawled up behind his senior sister, carefully moving up her leg...
Wang Riqing wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he thought he saw the snake twitch a few times when only its tail was left, and it looked extremely lewd...
Moreover, the snake was crawling in a very embarrassing position; by the time the senior female student felt the snake, it had already crawled to her lower abdomen...
Immediately, the senior sister's pig-like screams echoed from the courtyard. Who would have thought that just by standing here, she would be molested by a snake...
This incident will definitely haunt her for the rest of her life. Then she was seen running around frantically, trying to shake the snake out of her clothes. Her fellow disciples immediately came to help, and everyone else's attention was drawn to her...
Seeing that the time was right, Wang Riqing grabbed Yuwen Yingying and made a quick getaway...
