Chapter 90

~5 min read 961 words

"You!" Yan Lingji's voice was soft, and she shook her head, "You are really not serious!"

Looking at Su Xuan's appearance in front of the King of Han, he was always serious and solemn. No one expected that in private, he would be so unserious.

She couldn't help but think of the two bets last night.

She just didn't know which bet would start first.

Was it her master who arrived here first?

Or was it the interception of Su Xuan by that mysterious woman that arrived first?

Yan Lingji suddenly felt that time was passing too slowly.

Of course, another problem was that the feeling of being locked in a cage was really uncomfortable.

Yan Lingji's wait did not last long.

The sun rose and set, and a day passed quickly.

The bright moon slowly rose, and the moonlight poured down. Unfortunately, the fog was thick tonight, and when the moonlight fell on the ground, it appeared extremely dim.

Su Xuan's life was very monotonous.

Since being locked here last night, Yan Lingji had also discovered this.

Every day, it was either refining elixirs and medicine, or taking elixirs and cultivating.

Such a person, if you remove the occasional unseriousness, is really a reclusive person.

However, it was precisely because of that occasional unseriousness that he had a bit more human touch, unlike those pedantic and stubborn old scholars.

That night, Su Xuan, who was in the middle of cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Yan Lingji in the cage and said, "The person you are waiting for has arrived. Are you very excited?"

Yan Lingji was stunned.

She only heard the screams from outside; those were the screams of the guards guarding outside.

Immediately after, a rumbling sound echoed, and the door of the room where Su Xuan was located was brutally blasted open. Broken wood splashed towards the inside, and some flew directly in front of Su Xuan. Just as they were about to fall on Su Xuan, wind was generated, blowing them to the side.

Outside the room, under the dim moonlight, only two figures were seen standing.

One was tall and strong, with his upper body exposed, his muscles like refined iron, emitting a faint luster. His face was ferocious and terrifying, and he was wrapped in iron chains. It seemed that because he had blasted open the door with his fists earlier, the iron chains on his body were moved, and the iron chains swayed, making a slight sound.

After Yan Lingji heard this movement, she immediately looked towards the door.

Her gaze stayed on Wushuang Gui for a while, and then fell on the other person.

Although the other person's figure was not as tall and strong as Wushuang Gui, he could also be called burly. He had disheveled hair, a pale face, and a snake-like tattoo under his left eye.

At this moment, his red eyes also fell on Yan Lingji.

When he saw Yan Lingji imprisoned in the cage, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes immediately.

Afterwards, sharp killing intent swept out from his body, pouring towards Su Xuan, who was sitting beside the cage, without reservation.

A low voice sounded from his mouth, "Are you Su Xuan?"

"I didn't expect the famous Crown Prince Tian Ze to have heard of me. Should I feel honored?" Su Xuan ignored Tian Ze's killing intent and still sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Someone asked me to kill you!"

Tian Ze was concise and stated his purpose.

"It must be Bai Yifei!" Su Xuan pondered for a moment, and combined with the warning Lady Mingzhu gave him last night, he quickly guessed who did it.

A smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of his mouth, and his voice was playful. "It's really interesting. If I remember correctly, during the battle of Baiyue years ago, Crown Prince Tian Ze was defeated by Bai Yifei and then imprisoned by Bai Yifei."

"After so many years, because of your special constitution, Crown Prince Tian Ze became a tool for Bai Yifei to test gu worms. I thought that after you came out, the person you wanted to kill most was Bai Yifei, who had given you endless pain."

"As a result, you actually listened to his orders!"

"Is it years of torture that have worn away your pride? Bai Yifei, has he tamed you into a... loyal dog?"

The words "loyal dog" were spoken.

Tian Ze had already made a move.

He didn't know how Su Xuan knew these things, and he didn't care.

Because the gu worm in his body was restrained by Bai Yifei, it was the deepest pain in his heart and the thing he found most difficult to accept, but in order to survive, he had to choose to compromise.

He chose to compromise, but that didn't mean anyone could mention this matter in front of him and arrange it for him.

The six chains behind Tian Ze seemed to have become living things, cooperating with the snake heads at the ends of the chains. Black-red mist lingered on the chains, like six poisonous snakes waiting to devour people, all attacking Su Xuan together.

A playful smile curled at the corners of Su Xuan's mouth. When the six chains reached in front of him, no one saw how he moved.

He, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly disappeared.

The chains missed at the same time, and Su Xuan's words sounded again, "Did I hit the nail on the head, Crown Prince Tian Ze, and you are ashamed into anger? And you say you are not Bai Yifei's loyal dog?"

Tian Ze turned around and continued to attack in the direction from which the voice came.
