"Ghost Pupil, you've been deceived by her too! This County Princess will now expose her true colors!"
With a swish, she drew the saber from her waist and lunged fiercely at Chu Qianli, who had her back to her.
"Once this County Princess has ruined her face, who will want such an ugly monster!"
Chu Feiyan was known for her petulance and willfulness, something Ghost Pupil had long been aware of. However, he never imagined she could be so foolish!
Assassinating the Empress of Longteng in Beiming – how serious could such a matter be?
"County Princess, stop!"
But he was still some distance from Chu Feiyan, while Chu Feiyan and Chu Qianli were only two steps apart.
Just as the saber was about to strike the back of Chu Qianli's head!
Chu Feiyan's attack was a killing blow!
Meanwhile, Chu Qianli continued to walk forward, showing no signs of defense.
Ghost Pupil's heart pounded in panic as he urgently called out, "Your Majesty the Empress, be careful!"
If Chu Feiyan were to kill Chu Qianli, their Great Prince would be caught between enemies!
Chu Qianli's expression was impassive. Just as Chu Feiyan's saber was about to touch her, she casually flicked her hand.
With a sharp *crack*, the saber was sent flying from Chu Feiyan's grasp by an internal force.
"Ah..." Chu Feiyan cried out in pain, sent flying backward. She then fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
A mouthful of blood spurted from her lips.
Ghost Pupil stood frozen.
His steps, which had been aimed at saving Chu Qianli, now quickly moved to help Chu Feiyan.
Chu Feiyan was still spitting blood.
Ghost Pupil's hand landed on her shoulder, and he immediately channeled his energy to protect her vital organs.
"Bitch... bitch..." Before Chu Feiyan could utter her curses, she spat out another mouthful of blood.
After spitting blood three times, she was on the verge of losing consciousness.
Chu Qianli glanced at her indifferently and then paid her no further mind.
Her slender figure, bathed in moonlight, soon walked away.
"If you dare... come back, I'll..."
"County Princess." Ghost Pupil's expression darkened. Looking at Chu Qianli's retreating figure, his eyes held a new depth of exploration and contemplation.
After helping Chu Feiyan up, he did not look at her again.
His gaze remained fixed on Chu Qianli's back.
The Empress of the Longteng Kingdom... why had her internal energy suddenly surged to such a degree!
However, her abandonment of her own country to come here alone was a testament to her deep affection for Feng Yexuan.
To say she was calm, but in reality, she was also blinded by emotion.
To say she was blinded by emotion, yet upon her return, her handling of the relationship issues with Prince Xuan was so calmly resolved.
What was this woman, so young, truly thinking in her heart?
"Ghost Pupil!" Chu Feiyan, having finally managed to catch her breath, looked up to see Ghost Pupil staring intently at Chu Qianli's retreating back.
Furious, she stamped her foot in anger, "You too? You've fallen for that bitch?"
Speaking too quickly, she choked and coughed, the taste of sweet blood filling her mouth.
Ghost Pupil ignored her.
In Chu Feiyan's eyes, perhaps only matters of romance held any value. She was foolish, willful, and utterly barbaric!
"County Princess, she is the Empress of Longteng, and Longteng's national strength is in no way inferior to our Nanming or Beiming. In the future, if there's nothing important, do not provoke her!"
"But that bitch..."
Chu Feiyan still wanted to say more, but the look Ghost Pupil gave her as he turned back was terrifying!
In an instant, Chu Feiyan bit her lip and fell silent, daring not to speak further.
Ghost Pupil usually indulged her, but when it came to important matters, she was the one who had to listen to him. This was a warning from her father.
Ghost Pupil was her father's man, and even she could not command him to do things!
But she just couldn't stomach it!
Why did Chu Qianli have so much?
