Chapter 587 - Shes Posing as Yunyi (1/2)

Gu Yun struggled to get up. It was as if a tonne load of stone was weighing her down. Forget about getting up — even breathing was a chore!

If there was no way to struggle free, one had to stop resisting. Gu Yun raised her eyes and stared right at Si Mobai, as if saying, “What’s the meaning of this, Wargod? We’ve never met each other. Why would you treat me, the princess, like that on our first meeting?”

Why couldn’t he treat her better? Even a little bit better was fine, instead of being so defensive of Feng Tianlan all the time!

Apart from that pretty face, what was so good about Feng Tianlan?

Nothing!

“Lan’er, I’ll leave this to you,” Si Mobai whispered gently to Feng Tianlan in his arms. He did not even spare a single glance at Gu Yun.

Feng Tianlan stared straight at Gu Yun. Seeing her kneel there transported her back to that tragic night where Nansheng pushed her away and fell to the ground right by her side.

“Why did you try to kill me?” Feng Tianlan’s voice was mild and calm, as if she was asking a very common question.

Gu Yun stole a glance at Si Mobai. She, of course, dared not throw her weight around. She could only deny it, “There are no grudges between us, so why would I want to kill you? You were the one who tried to kill me the last time we fought, and so I was forced to retaliate.”

Si Mobai was deeply protective of Feng Tianlan. Should he ever find out that Gu Yun was the one who sent assassins to kill Feng Tianlan, she would definitely suffer a fate worse than death!

“You said that you were Tu Xiupei. I’ve investigated that and found her to be long dead. She died in a small town along the borders, from the Everhigh Poison.” Feng Tianlan looked right into Gu Yun, as if trying to see through the depths of her soul.

Gu Yun kept mum. She was the only one who knew about Tu Xiupei’s death — to think that Feng Tianlan managed to uncover that! Also, with the Wargod standing right here, she would never admit herself to be that battered whore who had slept with countless men.

“Gu Yun, the First Princess of the Beiqi Nation, the Lady Phoenix of Beiqi, and the Evanesce City’s esteemed guest.” Gu Yun looked up at Si Mobai saying, “Surely the Wargod would spare a thought for the South Winds Nation?”

She bore a highly esteemed and honored status. She believed that Si Mobai would consider his actions carefully with the South Winds Nation in mind and would not lay a finger on her rashly.
