Nangong Yu had a cold face and raised his hand to block the hot water that was poured over him. "Ling Xiang, are you looking for death?"
"Your Highness, you were the one who started this?" Ling Xiang sneered. "We already had an agreement, and this marriage is irrelevant. And now, Your Highness, you've got nothing better to do than to interfere in my private affairs?"
"Ling Xiang, as long as you are my fiancée, your words and actions will represent the words and actions of my future princess. You must not bring shame to the Qin Palace with a single move!"
Ling Xiang secretly rolled her eyes. "If the King of Qin feels that I've slandered you, he can just cancel the engagement with me in advance. Besides, the more others criticize me, the more reasonable it will be for you, the King of Qin, to cancel the engagement. This is a good thing for you, why don't you seize the opportunity?"
"I don't need you to teach me how to act!" Nangong Yu clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger as he spoke in a condescending tone, "You must close the clan school immediately. I will handle the subsequent matters properly and will not let your Zhenguo Hou Mansion suffer too much loss."
Ling Xiang was almost amused by Nangong Yu's self-righteousness: "So, I should thank His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin?"
Nangong Yu thought Ling Xiang agreed, and he felt that she had no reason to disagree: "No need to thank me, as long as you don't bring discredit to the Qin Palace in the future, I can let you go."
"That's not necessary!" Ling Xiang really didn't want to say anything more to Nangong Yu, and directly ordered him to leave.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, the opening of a clan school in my Zhenguo Marquisate is my family's business. It has nothing to do with outsiders, and even less so with you! I don't need to seek anyone's consent to open a clan school, let alone yours! Please leave my yard now, immediately!"
Nangong Yu narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Ling! Xiang! Don't challenge my patience!"
Ling Xiang put her hands on her hips and said, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, please don't challenge my patience! I am not your Princess Qin, and I will never be! I am not someone you can control!"
"This king has no right to control you." Nangong Yu approached Ling Xiang, his eyes filled with rage. "If it weren't for you saving Zhenzhen, this king would kill you right now!"
Ling Xiang raised an eyebrow. "Your Highness, you are right. I am acting so recklessly because you need my help. Moreover, Your Highness, you promised not to harm anyone in the Zhenguo Marquisate. Your Highness is a man of his word and never breaks his promise. Please don't let your reputation be ruined because of me. After all, you came here today for your own reputation, didn't you?"
"Ling Xiang, you're doing very well!" Nangong Yu almost squeaked out the words from between his teeth.
Ling Xiang smiled: "Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty. I am doing very well and will be even better in the future!"
"This is your own choice, Ling Xiang. If you insist on doing what you want, no matter what happens in the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion, I will never care about you!" Nangong Yu suppressed his anger and turned to leave.
If he didn't leave now, he would really lose control and strangle Ling Xiang to death.
"That's great that you don't care, Your Highness. Goodbye, I won't see you off!" Ling Xiang rolled her eyes at Nangong Yu's back.
Suddenly, Nangong Yu stopped and turned to look to the side.
There, there were the two arrows that Ling Xiang had just inserted into the wall.
He walked over, pinched the arrow tail, and pulled hard.
The arrow didn't move at all.
Nangong Yu frowned, circulated his spiritual power, and then pulled out the arrow.
He studied the sword in his hand and the hole in the wall. "Did you shoot this?"
Ling Xiang said nonchalantly, "Whether it is or not has nothing to do with the prince."
Nangong Yu exuded a cold aura that could freeze people to death. He mobilized all his spiritual power and hit the wall that Ling Xiang had just repaired.
There was not a single mark left on the wall.
His Spirit King-level attack couldn't even damage the wall, but Ling Xiang's arrow in his hand did it!
How could he not be shocked!
He held the arrow and stared at Ling Xiang closely: "How did you do it?"
In Nangong Yu's eyes, Ling Xiang saw persistence—the kind that would get to the bottom of things until the very end.
She curved her lips and smiled: "Your Highness, do you want to know? It's simple. Ten thousand spirit stones, and I will explain it to you."
This is simply asking for too much. Anyone with a clear mind would not be taken advantage of.
Ling Xiang wanted to force Nangong Yu to give up on getting to the bottom of the matter.
Nangong Yu took out his storage bag and threw it to Ling Xiang without blinking: "Ten thousand spirit stones, if you dare to fool me, I will make you regret it!"
Ling Xiang hadn't expected Nangong Yu to actually give out the spirit stones. She looked at him in disbelief for a long time, and only after she had thought of a plan did she slowly collect the spirit stones.
"It's simple, just a trick. The same force, acting on a smaller surface, will cause greater damage. In martial arts, this is called breaking the surface with a single point."
In fact, what she wanted to say was that this is called pressure in physics. However, Nangong Yu didn't understand it when she said it, so she changed it to a word that he could understand.
Ling Xiang demonstrated as he spoke.
She first took out a hammer and swung her arm to hit Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu frowned and raised his hand to block Ling Xiang's attack easily and effortlessly.
"Look, I've used all my strength, but Your Highness hasn't suffered the slightest damage. This is because the weapon I'm using has a very large force-bearing surface. But if I use a smaller one, Your Highness, be careful!"
Ling Xiang put on the golden needle and shot it towards Nangong Yu at a rapid speed.
Nangong Yu also wanted to see whether what Ling Xiang said was true or not, so he also greeted her with his palm.
This time, Ling Xiang's golden needle broke through Nangong Yu's defense and pierced into his palm.
Nangong Yu looked at the blood oozing from his palm, felt the difference between the two attacks, and somewhat agreed with Ling Xiang's statement: "You used this principle to shoot through the wall that even I couldn't penetrate?"
