Chapter 349 (2/2)

“Feng Xing, you’re back!” greeted Ye Lang when he saw Feng Xing, then continued staring at the crystal.

Feng Xing approached Ye Lang, looking at the blurry silhouette, he begged, “Sir, now that you’ve seen it, please help save our Lady.”

Feng Xing looked almost the same age as the Lady. Was there history between them?

“Have you both hooked up before or something?” Ye Lang’s question shook the skies.

“...”

Everyone almost fainted.

Smack!

Ye Lanyu smacked Ye Lang hard.

“Ouch… That hurt!”

“How could you say that? Look at Lord Feng Xing, he’s a gentleman! You should say ‘old flame’!” corrected Ye Lanyu.

Was any better? Didn’t that mean the same thing?!

“Isn’t that the same?” asked Ye Lang

“There’s a huge difference…” said Ye Lanyu solemnly, as if she had to educate Ye Lang about the terms.

“Alright, stop. They were lovers, alright? Can you not make it sound so awful?” huffed the seventh princess.

“Yeah, that sounded awful! No, wait, we weren’t lovers! The Sacred Lady cannot date, and I am definitely not qualified to be with her either,” Feng Xing nodded, then realised the princess also made a huge mistake.

“If you both weren’t lovers then why are you panicking so much? Look around you, they’re all so calm,” Ye Lang gave Feng Xing a look of understanding.

The rest of the riders were very calm- at least calmer than Feng Xing.

“Oh fuck, I care about our Lady, alright? Every follower of the Teachings cares,” raged Feng Xing, cursing out of anger.

Ye Lang didn’t care. “Feng Xing, I have a question.”

“What?” he asked.

“Do you know each other?”

“We do. Twenty years ago... we were very young, we often…” he answered honestly.

“Oh, childhood crushes!” Ye Lang nodded.

“...” Everyone fell silent.

“Fuck no! The Lady spent most of her time alone, but we often went to the same classes… I’ll never be able to explain myself at this point…” Feng Xing could barely calm down enough to explain himself.

“You don’t have to explain yourself, I understand…” Ye Lang nodded with a smile.

If this conversation continued, this kid would single-handedly destroy the Sacred Lady’s good name…
