C179 (1/2)

A wind like arrow shot over, Hong Dan's heart sank, he anxiously retreated a few steps, and immediately leaped into the air, dodging the cold arrow Qi.

But before she could catch her breath, a shining sword was placed on her shoulder. The sharp blade was tightly pressed against the ground of her neck. It was bone-chilling cold.

”Who are you? Why did you barge in here? ”

A girl's voice, that carried a little chill and coldness, rang out from behind him, causing Hong Dan to break out in a cold sweat.

This was not the voice of the Crown Prince, could it be that he made a mistake?

Is this the place where the ancients, as Miss said, live?

”Speak!”

Seeing that she did not say a word, the lady bellowed, the hand holding the sword trembled, the sharp blade immediately cut into Hong Dan's neck, and fresh blood flowed down.

A minute pain hit him, Hong Dan could not help but shiver.

”Miss, I did not intend to barge into this place. Please show mercy.”

Hong Dan tried his best to calm his anxious heart as he gently urged her, afraid that the woman would accidentally end his life.

”Aren't you the maidservant by Xi Er's side? Were you chased down to the river by them? Is Xi Er alright? ”

When Nangong Xuan heard her voice, he strode over and grabbed her arm tightly. There was a tinge of worry in his eyes, as if he was a completely different person.

Hong Dan looked at Nangong Xuan in front of him, his eyes filled with joy, but he did not dare to rashly make a move.

He smiled helplessly at Nangong Xuan and pointed to the sword on his neck.

Hearing that, Nangong Xuan walked up to Qing Zi and smiled, then gently moved the sword in her hand away from Hong Dan's neck.

”Crown Prince, everything is fine with Miss. Ever since you were kidnapped and disappeared by the Qing Zi Godly Doctor, the Emperor has not been able to recover from his illness. Right now, the entire imperial government was being controlled by the Prime Minister Qin, giving off the impression that they were going to establish a king. Young miss was alone and weak, hence she sent me to find the Crown Prince to take charge of the situation. ”

Hong Dan gasped for breath as she finished speaking, after that she felt that the atmosphere was strange, the surrounding air seemed to have condensed, as though they were falling down anxiously. It was cold to the bone, she quickly hugged her arms and rubbed it.

”You all …”

When she turned around, she saw that the look in Nangong Xuan's and the woman's eyes who tried to assassinate her disappeared.

In its place was an endless killing intent and coldness.

”Qin Cangming, this crown prince will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces.”

Both of Nangong Xuan's eyes turned scarlet as he roared towards the sky. His hands clenched tightly as his veins bulged, and a powerful aura of a king level expert pressured down on the entire cave.

He threw a palm at a nearby rock, which instantly exploded into powder.

He blamed himself endlessly, why did he not listen to his father's words and marry the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister Qin, allowing her to become the princess?

This way, the Prime Minister Qin wouldn't force the royal father to rebel, and the royal father could happily wait for his sister's return in the palace.

”How do we get back?”

Qing Zi coldly asked with a straight face.

He had been unknowingly knocked out and poisoned, then thrown into an unknown river.

If not for the fact that she grew up in a medicine jar, had a strong and healthy body, and was fortunate enough to be saved by her benefactor, she would have already been a corpse in the wilderness, leaving behind nothing more than a pile of bones.

”Qing Zi, you're willing to follow me back to the palace?”

Nangong Xuan suddenly pulled her closer, his eyes staring straight at her, not letting go of even the slightest of emotion in her eyes.

”I'm only going back to clarify the rumors and teach the villain who framed me a lesson!”

Under Nangong Xuan's anticipating gaze, Qing Zi coldly said that and pushed him away, turning around to walk into the cave where he usually stayed.

Nangong Xuan looked at his empty hand and a lonely expression crawled into his eyes. He pursed his lips and pulled out a faint smile.

”She is Qing Zi …” ”Then you all …”

Hong Dan inconceivably covered her lips, carefully stating the truth.

It turned out that it wasn't that Qing Zi had captured the Crown Prince and disappeared, but rather the two of them had been hunted down and taken to this mysterious cave.

However, Crown Prince Xuan's martial arts were above theirs, so why didn't he leave this gloomy cave?

Two hours later, Nangong Xuan and Qing Zi paid their respects in front of the crazy old man's stone dance, thanking him for saving their lives. Only then did they reluctantly leave.

”You all … What is this? ”

Hong Dan, who was walking in front, suddenly felt that something was missing. When he turned around, he immediately saw Nangong Xuan and Qing Zi standing at the entrance of the cave.

”Hong Dan, right? Did you feel any resistance from the heat when you went out just now? ”

Nangong Xuan gently extended his hand out, and then retracted it, and carefully asked Hong Dan.

That damned crazy old man had set up a barrier at the entrance of the cave. As long as they got near, they would be burned by the heat wave.
