Chapter 616: Phoenix Trap 4 (2/2)

In her mind, Chu Lian thought that this was none of her business at all, she’d rather go home earlier and hug He Sanlang to sleep…

It was as if a bucket of icy water had been dumped over Xiao Bojian’s head, dousing his excitement. His gloomy and slightly feminine face was filled with disbelief.

He couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say?”

Chu Lian pouted, “My mother died so many years ago, I don’t even remember what she looks like, and I’m not interested in that anymore. Now, tell me where Royal Princess Duanjia is.”

A contorted expression suddenly appeared on Xiao Bojian’s face again. It was unknown whether he had become angry from her words, or if he was enraged by the fact that things hadn’t progressed the way he expected. He spoke to Chu Lian with an angry tone, “Chu Lian, this clearly wasn’t what you said back then!”

Chu Lian’s eyes shifted away a little. She wanted to stall for time.

“Everyone changes. Even if I wanted to know about it in the past, I am no longer interested now.”

“You!” Xiao Bojian was seething with rage.

Chu Lian shot a signal at Wenqing with her eyes.

“Lian’er, you’ve changed!”

Chu Lian’s mouth twitched. Xiao Bojian was too slow. It wasn’t just her personality that had changed, she was practically a different person, alright?

“You don’t have to try signalling your servant. With her level of martial arts, she isn’t even a match for my guard.” Saying that, Xiao Bojian glanced back at the shadow-like One.

Two words came out of his mouth, “Take her!”

One moved like a sudden wind. Although Wenqing’s martial arts weren’t bad, there was still an insurmountable difference between her and One who was specially trained as an assassin.

With only a few moves, One had knocked Wenqing unconscious. However, when One was about to grab hold of Chu Lian, he was blocked by a figure who suddenly leapt out of the darkness.

One looked at the man who wielded a sword in front of him, and stared at the man with disbelief.

He Changdi had suddenly appeared with his handsome but grim face and frosty eyes. His chilly gaze fell upon Xiao Bojian, and he spoke with his deep, tantalising voice, “Xiao Wujing, just where are you trying to take my wife to?”

Xiao Bojian gave He Changdi a death stare. He nearly fainted from the force of his fury. His hands which were at his sides turned into fists, and he clenched them so much force that the joints turned white.
