Chapter 421: White Dress And Red Pipa (2/2)
Potian was naturally their best prodigy, ranked fourth on the upper list.
Cang was ecstatic to hear this: “The demon’s son is dead for sure if Potian joins in.”
He was leaving in excitement but Moshou called him back: “You need to do one thing.”
“What is it, brother?”
“People with bad reputation always cast a shadow of doubts. Tell everyone in the capital that the demon’s son has boundless lust and had captured Fairy Ye. Meanwhile, we are helping the Divine King get rid of this shameless pervert.” Moshou calmly said.
In his eyes, this was killing two birds with one stone. First, it could put all the blame on Feng Feiyun. Second, everyone knew that the demon’s son was the Divine King’s successor. Shouldn’t the master take some blame for not being able to restrain his own disciple?
Moshou’s move would also be a punch aiming straight for the Divine King.
Cang hesitated for a moment: “But if we do that, we can’t take Fairy Ye into the Beiming’s…”
“Hmph! This woman must die along with the demon’s son in order to get rid of all the evidence. This will enrage all those music lovers and they’ll aim their spear at Long Chuanfeng.” Moshou’s voice became colder.
Cang was very unwilling but he didn’t dare to go against Moshou’s order.
In just one night, one news spread across the entire capital - the successor of the Divine King, the demon’s son had been inflicted with Yama’s blood but he is still alive and had kidnapped Fairy Ye Xiaoxiang.
It shocked the entire capital since she had too many fans. All of them became enraged and wanted to find the demon’s son. Some even vowed to kill him at all cost.
Of course, the rumors came from the street but many believed it. After all, the demon’s son had a record of doing such a thing! It wasn’t surprising at all.

The dragon lake at the Jin Gou Clan.
“Why is the demon’s son still alive even with the poisonous blood?” Dongfang Jingyue’s face was covered with a white veil. She sat on a chair made from a tree stump below an osmanthus tree while holding a red pipa. The ground was covered in leaves as the breeze made her black and long hair flutter. White petals dropped from the branches and created a snow-like scene.
A powerful man wearing a rhino-skin armor and a red cloak walked forward. His first words were: “Ye Xiaoxiang wasn’t kidnapped by Feng Feiyun. It must be that Beiming fox’s scheme.”
Of course, he was Dongfang Jingshui.
Jingyue sat there quietly. Her expression remained a mystery due to the white veil; only her pretty yet cold eyes were visible. She nonchalantly said: “What does that have to do with me?”
“Potian had just left the city, under orders to kill him!” Jingshui spoke again.
“How uninteresting.” Jingyue stood up and walked by Jingshui. Her figure was peerlessly beautiful.
Jingshui smiled in response: “Don’t tell me you’re about to leave the city too?”
Jingyue slightly paused but didn’t stop completely: “If you want to leave the city, you can be my company.”
“I don’t care about the demon’s son so why would I leave?” Jingshui was holding his laughter.
“Come with me to laugh at that braggart. I’ve never liked him since several years ago.” Jingyue said.
“There’s no animosity between us so why should I go to laugh at him?” Jingshui asked.
“He said he could defeat you within five years. It’s been four years and five months now but there is still a big gap between your cultivation and his. Don’t you think we should laugh at a braggart like him?” Jingyue answered without showing any emotion.
“Looks like you have been keeping track of the time. If it is as you said, then I guess I’ll come together with you to mock him.” Jingshui finally burst out in laughter. Who knows if he was laughing at Feng Feiyun or at a certain girl?
