C22 (1/2)
Ji Chong Feng turned his head to look at the suspicious Ding Kuo and could not help but be startled. He smiled and asked, ”Kuo, what are you doing?”
”This subordinate is worried that someone might go against the rules. For the sake of your highness' safety, it's better to be cautious.” Ding Kuang replied with a serious expression.
”Haha …” Ji Chong laughed twice as he raised his hand to point ahead, ”There is no need to worry. Even if there really is someone in the forest, what can you do about it?”
”But Your Highness, that day …” Ding Kuang's sword-like eyebrows frowned, but he remained on his guard.
”Don't worry, Cang Qu won't be faster than us.” Ji Chuang naturally knew what Ding Kuo was worried about. He was quite satisfied with this so-called 'growth in intelligence after suffering a setback'.
”Then... It's better to be cautious. ” Ding Kuang said stubbornly.
”Whatever, it's up to you.” Ji Chong Feng's lips curled up as he continued walking forward.
Ding Kuang followed closely by his side, afraid that a letter would appear out of nowhere, ”Your Highness, there is something …” Your subordinate has never been able to figure it out. ”
”What is it?” Ji Chong Feng asked indifferently.
”If Young Master Cang Qu and King Xuan were to truly fight yesterday, it is still unknown who would emerge victorious. Moreover, Young Master Cang Qu has come for Miss Lu, so why did you let go so easily?” Ding Kuo helped him push aside the branches in front of him as he tried to think of the reason.
”Do you even need to think about it?” Ji Chong Feng's tone was very calm, and his expression remained emotionless as he looked at the stage, ”Recall, what did the two of them say on the stage yesterday?”
Ding Kuo recalled for a moment and suddenly said, ”They already knew each other?!”
”Not only have they known each other, they must have fought before!” Ji Chong Feng added.
”What does this have to do with the Groom Search Competition?” Ding Kuo still could not figure it out.
”Recall what happened to Lu Weiluan when she fell from the pavilion.” Ji Chong Feng reminded again.
”Could it be …” Ding Kuang's eyes lit up. ”Miss Lu is doing this on purpose?”
No matter what, Lu Weiluan is still the eldest miss of a martial arts family. Even if her martial arts aren't high, she is still stronger than a normal family's young lady. Ji Chong Feng's black eyes were like a bottomless pool. There seemed to be fragments of light flashing within his eyes. ”And the place where she landed was the closest to Kung Oo!”
”No wonder... She treated herself like a ball! ” Ding Kuang slightly lowered his eyes and tried to make sense of the situation, ”It seems that Miss Lu has long since chosen the King.”
”It seems like this Lu Family Village has long been the object of Kunwu's desire. And this Groom Search Competition is only a pretense. As for his true purpose …” Maybe it's related to Cang Qu. ”
Ji Chong Feng slowly walked forward. Unknowingly, he had already arrived at the place where he met the letter Cang Qu. He looked at the pear blossoms falling from the sky as his mind became increasingly misty …
”Hahahaha …” Why is he so fierce? If you have something to say, then let's talk! ”
”What did you hear?”
”It's nothing much …” I... It's only been a short while, and you've already discovered it! ”
”In other words, if you are not discovered, you will listen to them for a long time?”
”That's the plan!”
”Then... Do you know what happens when you eavesdrop on my conversation? ”
”Hey, hey, hey, you can't be …” You want to kill me to keep my mouth shut, right? ”
”...”
That person's voice seemed to still be lingering in his ears as Ji Chong stood firmly under the Pear Blossom Tree. His lips couldn't help but curl up into an inexplicable smile.
