Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Breaking Through One by One

The person who appeared was Nan Tianzong, who did not speak, but instead gave a few cold snorts and continued attacking.

“Bastard! You…ugh!”

Zhao Jiong had not yet finished cursing when he was punched in the mouth again, and he was unable to utter another word.

“Hand over Sisi, and I will spare your life! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Nan Tianzong’s words were said through gritted teeth without any room for negotiation.

“You… scoundrel!”

Zhao Jiong was so angry that he glared and wished he could just slap him to death!

“I’ve been a scoundrel for more than a day or two. If you don’t believe me, you can try! Your past grievances have nothing to do with us. I only know that Sisi is my younger sister, that’s enough!”

As his words fell, he punched Zhao Jiong’s freshly bandaged wound, sending him flying several meters away and crashing heavily into a rock. Zhao Jiong spat out a mouthful of blood at once.

“Cough, cough!… Are you trying to commit parricide, you disgraceful scoundrel! Cough, cough…”

Zhao Jiong tried to curse, but the blood in his mouth choked his throat.

Several people guarding Zhao Jiong hurried forward: “Master, the Prefecture Princess has already left the mountain. Didn’t you see her?”

“Sisi has already left the mountain? Is that true?”

Nan Tianzong somewhat disbelieved.

It was not that he was suspicious by nature, but that the so-called Li Sect Leader had already lost his credibility. When he learned that Sisi had gone up the mountain, he was so frightened that his soul almost flew out to the heavens, and he rushed up the mountain immediately without giving it a thought…

The guard quickly replied, “It’s true, Master. The Prefecture Princess had just left the mountain before you arrived, so you may have missed her on the way.”

Nan Tianzong looked back at Zhao Jiong, who coldly snorted and turned his head to the other side without saying a word.

“Fine, I’ll go and see if Sisi has returned home. You guys better not be lying to me! Otherwise, huh!”

Nan Tianzong finished speaking, quickly flew up, and went straight down the mountain without saying goodbye.

Zhao Jiong coughed and coughed in anger: “This scoundrel…”

Even after coming down from Heilong Mountain, Liu Sisi still felt a lingering fear.

“What do you think? Did Zhao Jiong actually get poisoned?”

During their time on the mountain earlier, her last trump card was naturally the four shadows secretly left by His Majesty to protect her.

The four shadows that followed her looked at each other: “The former Crown Prince was famous for his craftiness from an early age. Whether he was actually poisoned or not, we do not know. However, it is true that he did not try to kill the Prefecture Princess earlier.”

“Mm, I felt that too. Let’s go!”

Liu Sisi got into the carriage and casually let the curtain down.

As the carriage swayed, she slowly recalled the events on Heilong Mountain. Zhao Jiong did not try to kill her, probably because he still had feelings for her mother.

However, the trip wasn’t entirely in vain. Firstly, she figured out her true identity. Secondly, she found out that her mother’s remains were not on Heilong Mountain, which was particularly important. Now that she had completely fallen out with the former Crown Prince, it seemed that it was time to let go of the Li Sect’s business.

But it didn’t matter, as the businesses she owned were gradually getting on track. In the future, she could relax and shift her focus to other things, such as taking care of the academy’s opening, as well as several younger ones. YingEr also reached the age where a female tutor should teach her…

As she thought about it, she realized that there were so many things to take care of.
