Chapter 356 (2/2)

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The clanging sound of metals roused Ning Xuemo back to consciousness.

When she opened her eyes, she found that she was dripping with sweat, and still in her training room, just as it had been a moment ago.

She could clearly hear the sounds of men fighting outside.

I dont have any evil intentions, I merely came to see Miss Ning. Ning Xuemo could barely hear the voice of a person.

You are not allowed to see her. A different, cold sounding voice could be heard, it belonged to Xijue. He was currently guarding Ning Xuemo, every time she entered her room in order to undergo cultivation, he would be secretly protecting her to ensure that nobody bothered her.

Ning Xuemo wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and exclaimed, Xijue, let him in. I know him.

The sounds of battle halted at last. A moment later, a black clothed man pushed open the door and entered the room. He clasped his hands towards Ning Xuemo, Miss Ning.

Xijue entered alongside the man, and calmly put himself between the man and Ning Xuemo and coldly responded, She is now the Jingyuan Marquis, and you will address her as Marquess.

The man immediately kowtowed, greeting her once more, Marquess Ning.

Ning Xuemo spoke, Number One, no need to be so polite. What brings you here?

The black clothed man was one of Prince Ji Yunhaos personal Imperial Bodyguards and was a straightforward individual, This humble one came on his own volition to boldly inquire about someone.

Ning Xuemo remained calmed, Who?

Youve already met him; Its Number Two. Previously, when Marquess Ning entered the mountain, he was sent to protect you under our princes order. Currently, Marquess Ning has returned, yet he hasnt. This humble one had searched for him for countless days, but to no avail. I dont know if Marquess Ning knows of his whereabouts?

Ning Xuemo lowered her eyes, not wanting to hide the truth from him, He already died, captured by the golden-eyed eagle on the 9th Peak.
