Tie Linglong’s preparatory work could be considered as very successful for an assassination

She had escaped fro’s residence on the second day after his departure froe slave and sneaked into aclose to the Dragon King for many days but had never been discovered

She continued to lie lohen they had arrived in the Stone Kingdoone to the royal palace to conduct some reconnaissance on the princess As such, she had so of the daily habits of the princess

e to ,” </e, she knew that the Dragon King would eventually be declared the winner of the entire competition Therefore, she decided to make her move

The assassination should have been carried out easily, except that it was Xu Yanho tried to protect the princess by leaping in front of her This gave Tie Linglong a shock and she had no choice but to draw her saber back Even though it was a very slight pause, it gave Guan Shang, as standing watch outside, enough ti in the rooht all the way out of the roo and eventually becairl, but she would never have thought that the person who incited Tie Linglong to assassinate the princess would turn out to be Maid Lotus, the Managing Master of the New Moon Hall

Guan Shang hid the young girl away and lied to the princess that the assassin had escaped However, she was still uncertain; she could not co’s intentions In the end, it was Xu Yanho proved to be the ’s character very well too “She ain It’s all ht her too much nonsensical stuff,” she said

This was the second ti had acted without instructions The first time hen she sneaked into the Golden Roc Fort with Chu Nanping, and it had forced the Dragon King to be passive

As such, Gu Shenwei could not possibly forgive her again It did not oodwill or not; it was harmful to his plans

“I won’t execute you,” said Gu Shenwei He was not angry nor did he castigate her, but his tone was firive you Froon King and a member of the army of the Great Snow looked at the Dragon King in surprise She knew that she would be repriht that the consequences were so serious

Gu Shenas not done speaking yet He continued after a pause, “Return to Shu-lik and look for your brother; he’ll tell you who your ene fu you have now Never appear before ain, unless you believe your long’s green eyes elling up with tears as she spoke “Dragon King, I know I’ve done wrong, but I did it for your own good, in your heart…”

“Then never do anything for ain,” Gu Shenwei cut her off “I need soldiers who can follow orders and not opinionated little girls Get out,” he continued

Tie Linglong bit her lips She could not decide whether to be indignant or to plead with the Dragon King She knew that it was useless to beg him for mercy for he was hard-hearted As such, she lifted her head and turned around to leave, trying hard to control her impulse to break into tears

After she left, Gu Shenwei turned his attention to Lin Xiaoshan and the other 20 or so swordser one of us From now on, all of you are to treat her as you would an enemy if you meet her Anyone who tries to communicate with her secretly will be executed,” he said

All of the’s orders No one dared to try to convince hion King ever being convinced

Tie Linglong wandered around aio to and no idea how long she would be walking for She felt as if so was trapped inside her and missed her saber terribly She was left empty-handed and felt as defenseless as a lion cub who had been declawed

It was soon night ti knew that she would appear sooner or later, and could no longer fight back her tears “The Dragon King doesn’t want me around anymore, he has chased me back to Shu-lik,” she said tearfully

Maid Lotus approached her and looked as she continued crying “The Dragon King chased me away in the past too, but you can see for yourself that I’m now back at his side and have won his trust as well,” she said

Tie Linglong lifted her head to look at Maid Lotus The latter’s eyes were as obscure as thick s in its depths Itintoxicated, and a desire to worshi+p Maid Lotus greithin her She had not sold Maid Lotus out to anyone, even the Dragon King “How did you do it?” she asked

“It was because I perfected so fu techniques and am of a comparable skill level with him He needs me, as I can help him realize his ambitions”
