Chapter 72 (2/2)

Following Wei Wei’s movement, the other figure on top of the horse’s back, however, made him feel an indescribable trembling.

It’s the Third Prince?

Why would the two of them be together?

Eunuch Sun also saw Baili Jia Jue. The old one’s eyes gleamed with tears as he threw himself over. “Master, you’ve returned at last, but you’ve truly worried this old servant to death.”

Baili Jia Jue’s pair of eyes wasn’t moved in the least, and only sat on the horse’s back with his eyebrows raised.

The five years old Seventh Prince strode over on his crude legs, eating a meat bun. His cute face looked up. “Older Brother, how are the two of you together?”

“Seventh Prince’s right.” Minister Jing interrupted and came closer, his face wearing a concerned appearance and spoke words which misrepresented Little Bald Head’s meaning.

“Your Highness should’ve found an expert to accompany you. Only that will guarantee your safety. If something had happened to you, I’ll probably die of worry. Fortunately, both of you safely came back.”

After saying that, he turned towards Wei Wei and looked over. “Was it this black flying horse that brought you back? It seems as if it hasn’t been contracted. Why was it willing to carry the two of you?”

Minister Jing also could be considered a senior who had stayed at White Academy for many years, and knew very well that these spirit beasts that lived in Spirit Forest, were actually much more arrogant than those demonic beasts. As long as someone wasn’t contracted with them, no matter how powerful any other person with powerful qi was, they still wouldn’t allow them to ride on them.

Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders and turned around to face Baili Jia Jue with a look that said ‘you’re so smart, let’s turn this over for you to deal with’.

Baili Jia Jue received her message and watched Minister Jing standing below the horse from up high. His pair of deep and clear eyes gleamed and sparkled, mingled within was an indifferent and disaffected cold att.i.tude which seemed like it could emanate an astonis.h.i.+ng martial qi at any time.

Being watched by him like this, Minister Jing’s heart actually trembled. As he looked at Baili Jia Jue again, he saw that his thin lips were as pale as before. The mysterious dark pupils, although hidden in depth, no matter how one looked, still had the appearance of having received a heavy injury…

Minister Jing frowned as he shook his head. Just now, he was just mistaken. He absolutely was mistaken.

Even though everyone had wanted to be under the Third Prince’s command, however, that had already changed. It was a fact that the third prince’s body was already disabled.

A person who was disabled, how could his imposing manner still pressure and make someone who was at gold rank like him tremble in fear.

It must be because Third Prince had occupied a high position for too long a time. Just like yesterday, when he first saw him, he also felt as if chills travelled down his back.

Just as Minister Jing was thinking this in his heart, he suddenly heard Baili Jie Jue’s voice come out of a slightly opened mouth. Contained within that voice was even a trace of a devilishly cold smiling expression. “Since Minister Jing would like to be involved in my affairs so much, then this Highness can say a few words to Retired Emperor on your behalf to have you enter the palace and replace Eunuch Sun’s position in the future.”

In other words, this is the same as cutting out that thing of yours and turn you into an eunuch.

Having heard this, innumerable drops of cold sweat then emerged from Minister Jing’s forehead all at once.

Wei Wei watched that paling face of his and couldn’t help but turn again towards Baili Jia Jue for another glance. She couldn’t help but think that Third Prince truly deals extremely large damage. His four pounds of force able to push aside a ton, hitting exactly where it hurts, one sentence suffocating enough that Minister Jing was forced to be anxious and frightened. To speak of sending him into the palace to replace Eunuch Sun’s position and so on simply was outwardly kind but inwardly evil to the extreme.

No wonder even if he’d lost his martial qi, no one dared to treat him with disrespect.

Because from beginning to end, this man’s body always contained a sense of danger that could make everyone not dare to treat it lightly.

If he was like he was in the past and still possessed that startling martial qi envied by the world, the War Dragon Empire’s current power structure would absolutely not be the way it is.

Truly, Third Prince was also indeed acute enough to know that she didn’t want people to know the things that happened to her in Spirit Forest, and went as far as to not say a single word of it.

“It seems that Master Jing already doesn’t have any other question. Then I’ll leave first.” Wei Wei indifferently took a quick glance at Minister Jing whose face had turned green, and was just about to leave, but the way out was obstructed by a regiment of imperial guards that appeared from who knew where!
