Chapter 574 - The Crown Prince Doesn’t Dare Kill Us (1/2)

Qian’er subconsciously hid behind Gu Bailu, but she only attracted Lu Fenying’s attention by doing so.

The familiar and scary voice made Qian’er shudder in fear while she clung to Gu Bailu’s back.

Gu Bailu even heard her teeth chattering.

What monstrous things had Lu Fenying done to make Qian’er so frightened?

“Your Highness, my disciple grew up on the mountain with me and has not seen any outsiders before this. She’s intimidated by your magnificence.” Gu Bailu stroked Qian’er’s hand to calm her down.

The silly girl didn’t know that the more she hid, the more Lu Fenying’s attention would be focused on her.

However, the deepest dread in her heart couldn’t be eliminated so easily.

“Am I so frightening?” Lu Fenying asked calmly and indifferently.

He stared as if trying to see the person hiding behind Gu Bailu through her body.

Qian’er was too familiar with his gaze. She could sense it even with Gu Bailu between them.

His eyes were like that of a savage beast in the dark. She could barely remain standing.

“I’m scared…” Qian’er barely gasped out the words in a whisper to Gu Bailu.

“Why? We’re here to save someone.” Gu Bailu turned around, gripped Qian’er’s hands tightly, and made Qian’er look at her. “Do you remember why we’re here? We’re here to save someone. We are the last people that the crown prince will kill.”

Gu Bailu spoke loud enough for Lu Fenying to hear.

Qian’er was dazed for a moment, then did her best to get herself under control. That was right! She was here to save Su Muwei. She was the only person in the whole world that could save Su Muwei. She was no longer the lowly servant she used to be.
