Chapter 1174 - West Duke’s Real Colors (1/2)

Jun Xiqing stretched her hand out, plucking one of the rosary peas. She suddenly had this crazy idea, was he actually fond of another woman?

Clenching the pea in her hand tightly, Jun Xiqing stepped out of the secret passageway. At the end of the passageway was a place of high altitude. Jun Xiqing walked outside, the cold wind blowing her beautiful face.

She could actually see the entire of Country A standing at that place.

Standing there, almost every part of Country A was so small and insignificant. She felt as though Country A was trampled under her feet.

She could imagine the amount of ambition and greed in Lu Yeming when he stood there. He was really born to be a ruler.

Lifting her eyes, she saw a palace far away. “Ah Da, what is that?”

She pointed at it.

“Master, although the power has been distributed to the four dukes in Country A, there is still an old palace with a king living inside. Although the four dukes have been working hard to increase their sphere of influence, they have never once tried to barge inside the Palace and take over the King.

“It is said that this King is the real power-wielding ruler of Country A. He has a pair of deep-set eyes that could look through everyone’s ambitions even in the dark, making one feel like they have nowhere to hide.”

Jun Xiqing smiled.

She was an atheist who would never believe in such stuff.

“Master, let’s hurry up and leave Country A. The Wuling Iron Steed Troop are already waiting at the pier,” Ah Da said.

Jun Xiqing was a little disappointed. She had been in contact with West Duke, Lu Yeming for quite some time and yet she hadn’t been able to see even one side of his true self. But today, passing through this secret passageway, she somehow felt that she had been able to understand him a bit more.

In Country A, a place with such strong power rivalry, there was still an old, mysterious palace standing. That really was eerie.

Now that Country Z had been taken away by Lei Ze and the Jun family had turned into fugitives, she really was powerless by herself. If she were to be dragged into a battle of power rivalry, she could only be a pawn in this game and couldn’t do anything about it.

“Ah Da,” Jun Xiqing suddenly spoke.

“Master, what’s the matter?”

Jun Xiqing answered, “I have an ominous feeling somehow. I could feel from the very first moment when I stepped into Country A that I wouldn’t be able to leave this place. Put my elder brother down, I’ll go separately from him.”

“Master, what do you mean?”

Jun Xiqing’s eyes gleamed. “I’m going to leave my elder brother in a safe place.”

Then her voice became gentle as she said, “I’ll always have a way of keeping my family safe and united in this chaotic world.”

…

West Palace.

Lu Yeming rushed back with Fan Men and when Fan Men saw the fainted maids, his expression changed. “Master.”

Lu Yeming ran upstairs.

Arriving in front of the door, Fan Men wanted to follow him in but Lu Yeming signalled for him to stop. Fan Men quickly stepped aside and Lu Yeming strode inside.

The door to the secret room was open.

Lu Yeming’s face was somber, stepping inside the secret room.

It was really quiet inside when he stepped inside his footsteps could be heard so clearly. Scanning around with his deep-set eyes, Jun Chulin had indeed gone missing.

But he wasn’t concerned about that, not even raising a brow at his disappearance. With quickened footsteps, he walked over to the rows of red peas.

Looking at the red peas that were all well, only then did he relax a little.

But a stalk of the red pea had loosened soil.
