Chapter 397 - Huge Temptation (1/2)

This matter had been seen as a crying shame by the citizens of Nan Xia Country for the past ten years, but under the oppressive power of Ding Lin Country, everyone had kept it a secret. Ling Chuxi had occasionally heard of people mentioning it, but they never went into detail.

“Miss Ling, please get into the carriage,” the middle-aged man ignored the envoy and said to Ling Chuxi.

Ling Chuxi remembered the emperor’s words back then and finally understood what he meant. Her performance in the a.s.sessment compet.i.tion had most likely attracted the attention of Ding Lin Country, and now they were here to win her over. She could not avoid them, so Ling Chuxi walked towards the carriage.

“Miss Ling…” The envoy had a worried look on his face as he called out to Ling Chuxi. However, he did not know what to say in the presence of so many people.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Ling Chuxi gave the envoy a rea.s.suring smile and got into the carriage.

The envoy was very anxious. He looked on hopelessly as Ling Chuxi disappeared from sight and the carriage drove away. Ling Yichen patted the envoy’s shoulders and said, “Don’t worry. I know Chuxi well, and I know she will never agree to go to Ding Lin Country.”

“That’s right! Miss Ling is n.o.ble and faithful, there is no way she would she betray Nan Xia Country,” Li Shaoqiu declared pa.s.sionately. Ling Chuxi was so strong and perfect in his mind.

“Yes, I’m overthinking.” The envoy smiled and nodded, but he still had a vague uneasiness in his heart. Wu Feng Hall… What kind of existence was that like? Once you joined them, the good treatment was not something an ordinary person could ever imagine. Could Ling Chuxi really harden her heart to decline when facing such a huge temptation?

Not long after, the carriage came to a stop. There was a huge house with a courtyard before her eyes. It looked quiet and solemn in the dark of the night. Above the door, the words ‘Wu Feng Hall’ looked exceptionally dignified.

“Miss Ling, we have arrived.” The middle-aged man got down and drew open the curtains in the carriage for Ling Chuxi.

Ling Chuxi jumped out of the carriage and followed the man inside. There was not even one guard at the entrance and it was very quiet and peaceful inside. There was not a single person seen along the way, but Ling Chuxi knew that this place had the toughest defense system in Ding Lin Country, perhaps even surpa.s.sing the palace.
