Even though the Golden Roc Fort’s cadoh alert They kept their sabers with them at all times and even left them unsheathed and close by so that it would be easier to strike when the ti fu were evenThey wished that the ground were softer so that they could dig a hole and hide in it Everyone standing guard at their post was shaking terribly, so lass of water without spilling its contents out

Shangguan Fei was seating in his tent Like the guards, he had drawn his saber, and like the attendants, he was tres had gone way south for him and he was in the worst possible situation currently

He watched his re servants warily, secretly suspicious that everyone in the world wanted hiin the journey back to Jade City upon his arrival back from the royal palace, but it was not carried out Most of the people in the ca Master was invisible and his words muted

He came to understand that his failure to beco’s plot to kill hi He ell aware that the killers sent to this ca for the prime opportunity to strike

He was in a state of extreme fear but could still think clearly He knew that it was pointless to flee, ashi towards him even before he could escape from the camp

Perhaps, the only option available to him could work out

He had already sent out his killers and aiting for theht, the time when killers loved to roaures who stepped in did not belong to those killers he had sent out Even though they were dressed identically in black and wore lance

There were a total of three of the uessed that there were possibly more of them outside the tent

His servant cruan sobbing softly

Shangguan Fei forced hied to squeeze out a stiff sainst ures did not reply Killing one’s master was inauspicious, even if the order ca After a while, one of the Master”

Shangguan Fei wanted to ask the hi me? My body has to be found in the city for ht

“I have a solution,” said Shangguan Fei He felt that he could not er and had to speak his on King by falsely accusing hi someone from the Golden Roc Fort, don’t you? There’s an even better candidate than me to be the sacrificial la kill me? He’s already become the princess’ fiance, hasn’t he? However, he has every reason to kill Shangguan Ru He loves her and even had her soon-to-be husband aze across the faces of the three killers “He tried to force himself on her and killed her by accident Isn’t it the perfect story? No one can point out a flaw in it, and the Golden Roc Fort can use it to stop the ceasefire as planned, thereby being able to launch an attack on the Great Snower look was plastered all over his face,him look like a child who had cleaned up his roo his parents about his accoures were not his parents, and they rerew a little anxious as he continued, “There’s no benefit to be gained froret it and co for those that killed me Besides, my mother would never let ures remained silent, but finally, they seemed to be convinced and retreated out of the tent

Shangguan Fei let out a breath of air heavily He felt that his legs had become as soft as jelly and he needed to sit down

Another person cauan Fei looked as if he had seen a ghost He iain, as if he had sat on a bed of pins “You… what’re you doing here?”, he asked

Shangguan Ru looked at her brother, a er, doubt and detach within her heart “You don’t even have the courage to kill uan Fei’s first reaction was denial, but could not find his tongue just as his ures were not his executioners and possibly were not even killers To begin with, it was a ploy by his sister to get hiry at the sa just like the slave paralyzed on the floor “I’ve no choice, little sister I’ve no choice I’m afraid, too afraid I don’t understand why Father would want to kill ive me!

This was the reality of life in the Stone Castle—siblings would kill each other and the sole survivor would take over the h all of it a long tio, but when this harsh reality was to be applied to her own life, she still could not help but feel a heart-wrenching pain inside

“Do you think that Father would let you off just by acting in this way?” she asked softly She felt her own hatred for her brother slowly dissipating; he was the weakling of the fort, and everything he did was nearly never of his own accord

“I… I don’t know,” said Shangguan Fei blankly; he had stopped crying He never dared to consider this possibility “Mother… she would save me”

“If she had the ability to save you, she would not have risked sending you here in the first place Don’t you get it? She’s lost the favor of our father, and she no longer has the right to speak to hiuan Fei shook his head violently, unwilling to admit this obvious truth “Never, never, Mother would never lose the favor of Father, he likes her so much…”
