Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Nine – Night Visit (2/2)

He appeared next to the door.

Princess Xin’s eyes were wide as she looked at the heavy armor guard in shock. It was the first time she had seen him react so strongly.

What had happened?

———

“Princess, sleep early.” Zhu Ke whose hair and beard were white looked benevolently at Princess Wan as though she was his own grandchild. As Princess Wan was someone he had watched grow up since she was little, she was like his granddaughter.

“Grandpa Zhu, is there really a Great Peace Treasure Pavilion?” Princess Wan’s eyes were wide and her expression curious.

Zhu Ke couldn’t help but give a smile. His wrinkle-covered face crinkled. “Does Princess like treasure pavilion?”

“Yes yes! It seems very interesting. Grandmaster Shi Zi Ming is so strong, there must be many treasures.” Princess Wan’s eyes were full of longing.

“Haha!” Zhu Ke couldn’t help but laugh. He affectionately caressed Princess Wan’s hair. “If Princess wants it, this old servant will go search and see if there are any when the time comes.”

“Really?” Princess Wan exclaimed happily. “That’s great! Great Peace Treasure Pavilion, it makes people excited just thinking about it! It is much more interesting than eating with those people!”

“It has been hard for Princess these past few days!” Zhu Ke said caringly.

Princess Wan shook her head. “I can help Daddy like this, it is not a hardship!”

“Princess is really mature!” Zhu Ke praised. Suddenly, his hand imperceptibly stilled. He said in a gentle voice, “Princess, go to sleep, it is late.”

An indistinguishable presence spread. Princess Wan’s eyelids became heavy. She yawned and said, “Grandpa Zhu … … I’m sleeping … …”

Before she could finish, she entered her dreams. Zhu Ke carefully tucked the blanket around her. When he slowly turned around, a thread of harshness flashed through his eyes.

———

“Has the matter of the Mo Skill Steles been resolved?” There was no smile on Princess Xia’s smile like there usually was and her tone was harsh.

“Princess, no!” the subordinate trembled and said.

“You trash!” Princess Xia’s face was cold. “How many years has the family stationed you here for? You are unable to solve such a minor matter? And Great Peace Treasure Pavilion! Such a great matter and you did not hear a thing!”

The subordinate did not dare to even breath. Everyone knew if they argued with the princess now, it would end terribly for them!

“What clues are there about the rumors of the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion?” Princess Xia continued to ask severely. “After so many years and no one knows a thing, yet suddenly the whole world knows! There is definitely something going on!”

“This subordinate is useless … …”

Pia, a incense pot landed on this mo’s face and blood instantly flowed. This mo did not dare to move and allowed the blood to drip down his face onto the ground.

“Trash! A group of trash!” Princess Xia panted angrily. Her flushed chest seemed to almost pop out but no one dared to look.

A moment later, Princess Xia’s anger settled. She said coldly, “Xiao Mo Ge? If you say you are still not able to tell me anything, then you can die in front of me.”

This mo hurriedly said, “This subordinate has made a thorough investigation of Xiao Mo Ge! He first appeared in Shattered Stone Jie. One of the women with him is the daughter of the jie master Ceng Yi. Ceng Yi is a white fang snake mo and has cultivated the White Fang mo physique. He had once refused the invitation of Marshal Yu. He also killed one of Marshal Yu’s subordinates. Xiao Mo Ge’s subordinates are Guard Camp who came from a very distant place. Right now, their earliest appearance that we have tracked is in Little Savage Jie which is now in the hands of someone called Shi Dong. This person is not very strong but is a pretty good battle general.”

Princess Xia showed some interest. The subordinate’s investigation was very detailed but it held many strange details. She understood the subordinates well. They might be useless, but if they did not investigate thoroughly, they would not dare to speak.

“What do you think of Xiao Mo Ge?” she suddenly asked.

The subordinate stilled. He hesitated and then gritted out, “This subordinate thinks that Xiao Mo Ge is the most outstanding genius that this subordinate has seen in all these years! He can rank with Qi Diao Yu!”

“Rank with Qi Diao Yu … …” Princess Xia had an amused expression. She waved her hand and said lazily. “Wipe up the blood and leave!”

“Yes!” The subordinates hurriedly retreated as though they were pardoned.

“What do you think?” Princess Xia suddenly asked. The person the question was directed to was her maid. This maid was about forty years old with an average appearance. There wasn’t any presence to her.

The middle-aged maid said, “The Great Peace Treasure Pavilion is real.”

“I know!” Princess Xia raised an eyebrow. “And then?”

At this time, the middle-aged maid’s expression changed. She turned to look towards the window.

At this time, a clear voice came from a distance, “Which coward dares to break into the princess’ residence in the middle of the night? Come out! Beg for forgiveness from the princesses! Do not dirty ye’s hands!”
