C208 First War (1/2)

Chu Xiao stood by Wang Xiaojian's side. Seemingly having sensed Wang Xiaojian's change, he asked aloud, ”Brother-in-law, what happened that time, was there a hidden story?”

Many people knew about the engagement between, the number one heaven chosen of Xia Country, and Princess Ying Wen.

Chu Xiao was no exception.

It was rumored that Wang Xiaojian had offended the princess and thus their engagement was cancelled.

However, looking at it now, there must have been a mistake in the rumors back then. Otherwise, Wang Xiaojian wouldn't have such a reaction.

The truth of the matter must have been different from the rumors.

Wang Xiaojian was startled, he did not expect Chu Xiao to say such a thing.

Then he realized that he had lost his composure.

Wang Xiaojian took a deep breath. He was Wang Xiaojian, but he was no longer the original Wang Xiaojian.

It was true that he had a grudge with Princess Zhaoyang Ying Wen, but a slut was not worth it for him to lose his composure.

Since he was here, he would go with his plan and take revenge.

At that time, the one who would lose his composure would be Ying Wen, not him.

Presumably, once he becomes Prince Consort, Ying Wen would definitely be shocked.

Thinking about it, Wang Xiaojian smiled coolly.

He readjusted his mood, and his face broke into a signature smile.

He opened his mouth, looked at Chu Xiao, and smiled: ”Xiao, there is indeed a secret behind this, and the story within is also very interesting. Later, I will tell you.”

”Yes.”

Chu Xiao nodded, and did not inquire further.

He was also very happy that Wang Xiaojian was able to say such words to him.

Chu Xiao turned to Wang Xiaojian and said, ”Brother-in-law. No matter what, I will support you. ”

Wang Xiaojian looked at Chu Xiao's serious expression and laughed: ”Alright, Xiao. It was not in vain that I pampered you. ”

On the first day of Groom Contest, the princess personally arrived.

The atmosphere of the venue was extremely lively. There were cheers for the princess' thousand years everywhere.

Even the heaven's pride level experts of Son-in-law Mansion were looking at the princess with incomparably adoring gazes.

Hu Rui looked at Ying Wen, his handsome face revealing a smile, as though he was determined to win, as though Ying Wen was his.

The eyes of the core disciples of the Thunder Knife Sect, Tian Hailiang, the Zhao Family Second Young Master s, the Pure Yang Sect Third Young Master s, and the Zhu Family Eldest Young Master s, were all burning with passion.

They all knew that once they became the champion of the Groom Search Competition, they would be able to become a Prince Consort, and become a man of the Third Princess!

And since the First Prince had not returned for many years, and since Second Prince passed away a few years ago, as long as one became a man of Third Princess, he would definitely reach the pinnacle of his life!

Ying Wen sat on the Guest Seat.

Her beautiful face had an air of superiority. Her long, narrow eyes scanned the surroundings, looking extremely fierce.

When Wang Xiaojian's hateful gaze swept over her, she seemed to have sensed something and turned to look in the direction of the battle area.

However, she did not discover the source of her gaze.

A trace of doubt appeared on her face, followed by a frown.

Gui Yuan stood beside Ying Wen and bowed: ”Princess, what's wrong?”

Ying Wen looked at Gui Yuan, shook his head, and said: ”Eunuch Gui, I don't have anything. Did you manage to track down the murderer who set the fire last night? ”

Hearing that, Gui Yuan's face darkened, and said: ”Princess, that person is extremely cunning. It was as if he had vanished into thin air after the great fire, and this old servant had yet to find him. However, this old servant had found some clues about the silver medal bodyguard who was killed. Perhaps we can find the murderer through these clues. ”

Ying Wen's expression was ice-cold as she said: ”Eunuch Gui, this matter concerns our royal family's prestige, and Royal Father values it a lot. I hope you catch the killer as soon as possible. Otherwise, your position as a plant would be seriously affected. ”

”Yes sir!”

Gui Yuan nodded his head. This was the Third Princess, but when he faced her, he felt pressure that was not inferior to that of the Emperor's.
