Xuanyuan Mocheng turned his head to look, it was actually an escape.
”You, you're back?!”
Xuanyuan Mocheng was both surprised and happy. He pounced and grabbed onto his shoulder, his eyes shining with tears. Love is returning, this was the best news for Xuanyuan Mocheng.
Suddenly, something flashed across his mind. Xuanyuan Mocheng, who was originally smiling, lowered his head as he became more vigilant, and subconsciously retreated a few steps as well.
”You escaped? Is Xuanyuan Zhiling's prison that easy to escape from? ”
Xuanyuan Mocheng's vigilant voice immediately caused the hidden face of the person standing in front of him to stiffen.
”What? Master doesn't believe that I'm hiding?”
He smiled, but his smile was very forced.
”How could I not believe you? But as your master, I can't be too careless. I believe you can understand this, right?”
Xuanyuan Mocheng said indifferently, the smile on his face had a trace of complicated emotions.
”I understand. There is evidence that can prove that the evasion is real.”
As he said that, he reached out his hand to roll up his sleeves. Immediately, a scar left behind by a soldering iron appeared on his arm, and on it was carved the symbol of Xuanyuan Mocheng, an eagle.
”Master, no one other than us knows about this insignia. The insignia on everyone's body is different as well. Now, can you believe that the insignia is invisible?”
A trace of a smile appeared on his sneaky face.
Xuanyuan Mocheng pondered for a moment, then laughed: ”Then master must be too petty, for the master will specially arrange a feast for you tonight, to make amends, and personally toast.”
Xuanyuan Mocheng was extremely happy, because once he returned, his safety and prestige would be saved.
During the banquet, Xuanyuan Mocheng sneaked up and sat at both sides of the table, while some of his more capable subordinates also sat beside him.
”It is truly fortunate that my Disappearance this time around has been successful. Otherwise, This King would have lost a good helper.”
After saying all that, Xuanyuan Mocheng raised his wine cup and toasted his concealed cup.
Naturally, he did not dare to hesitate in the slightest as he stood up and accepted Xuanyuan Mocheng's toast.
”Escape? Tell me, how did you escape from Xuanyuan Zhiling's prison? The process should be a bit dangerous, right? ”
Xuanyuan Mocheng's tone was gentle, and did not contain any intention to probe, but the fake form was a guilty conscience after all, so Wen Yahan did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
”Master, you're right, they tortured me and guarded me very strictly. If there wasn't someone helping me, I think I would never have been able to get out.”
As he said this, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh and forcefully gulped down a mouthful of wine as if he was afraid.
”Someone is helping? ”Who?”
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mocheng frowned, there were many powers hiding in the depths of the palace, would they be so kind as to help him escape? Wasn't this their scheme?
The figure nodded: ”This person is the current Princess Wen Yahan of Phantom Fire Kingdom.”
As she spoke till here, Wen Yahan had obviously noticed the deep suspicion in Xuanyuan Mocheng's eyes. However, Wen Yahan had a calm and unhurried expression, because she told herself in her heart that she had to be calm, or else her suspicions would be exposed.
”Wen Yahan? Why would she help us? What benefits does it have to her to go against Xuanyuan Zhiling? ”
Xuanyuan Mocheng frowned and asked.
”Master, the reason why Wen Yahan came back to hide is to explain this to you. Wen Yahan has already been tortured to a pulp by Xuanyuan Zhiling, she sent people to help him escape when she escaped, she wants to join hands with us.”
When Wen Yahan said till here, she seemed to be stunned for a moment when she saw Xuanyuan Mocheng. However, Xuanyuan Mocheng didn't say anything, and only indifferently nodded his head.
”Alright, since she wants to cooperate with us so much, let's give it a try.”
Xuanyuan Mocheng's tone was extremely calm, as if he did not care about this matter. This kind of expression immediately made Wen Yahan's heart tensed up, because she felt that Xuanyuan Mocheng did not seem to believe her words at all.
”Master, do we really want to cooperate with Wen Yahan? Can she really be trusted? ”
Wen Yahan decided to use this to control Xuanyuan Mocheng's thoughts. She had to make Xuanyuan Mocheng believe her words.
”As long as I can trust her, then Master will believe her. I understand why she hates Xuanyuan Zhiling, so why not give it a try?”
Xuanyuan Mocheng's tone was still neither too harsh nor too indifferent. Wen Yahan let out a light sigh.
After the banquet, Wen Yahan sat in her room. Just as she was about to take off her makeup to rest, she realized that she had completely disappeared and she didn't even need to take off her makeup.
It was at this time that a knock on the door sounded out. Wen Yahan had originally been a little relaxed, but at this moment, her heart tensed up once again. She did her best to look as if nothing had happened.
”Master, it's so late. Is there something you need to hide?”
Wen Yahan said indifferently, her eyes were calm, as though she was the real deal.
”The truth is, I always felt that you'd be weird when you came back. In the past, you've always called me prince, so why are you calling me master this time?”
When Xuanyuan Mocheng said this, he did not even spare Wen Yahan a glance before entering the room.
”Master, what's the difference between calling me master and calling me prince? I've suffered a lot in Xuanyuan Zhiling's prison, so even if there's a change, it doesn't matter, right? ”
After saying all that, Wen Yahan gave a faint smile.
”There's no difference, I'm just asking.”
Xuanyuan Mocheng suddenly laughed lightly, the suspicions on his face having disappeared.
”Nothing, I was just casually asking. Don't be nervous about it.”
After hearing what Xuanyuan Mocheng said, Wen Yahan gave a light smile. But one thing was certain, Xuanyuan Mocheng was extremely suspicious of her.
