Chapter 301 : A Rose Wedding 27 (1/2)
Just as fighting was about to break out, a loud sound came from the corner of the room. Everyone subconsciously looked over.
A glass had been smashed to the ground and its remnants scattered everywhere.
Once they saw the person standing there, everyone fell into a state of confusion. ‘Why are there two Mi Nais?!’
Shi Sheng avoided the shards of broken glass as she made her way to the centre, the red roses embroidered on her black dress swaying in rhythm with her movements.
She was holding a sword and emanating killing intent, so the people in front wisely made way for her.
When Ling Xiang saw Shi Sheng, her expression turned unsightly. ‘Why is she here?! Isn’t she supposed to be trapped by Master’s formation? How is it possible for her to be here?!’
“How lively. Planning to gang up on me, eh?” Shi Sheng didn’t even look at Ling Xiang. Instead, she looked at Du Jue, her lips upturned in a frosty smile. “Mr Du, you’ve grown bolder yet again, ah.”
Du Jue had already known there were two identical Mi Nais from his subordinates.
This was the reason why the elder had tried to stop him earlier.
Du Jue was almost certain the woman with the sword was the Mi Nai that was previously with Xi Yin. It was impossible to duplicate that arrogant gaze.
“Who are you?!” Fei Qi questioned fiercely.
“Are you blind? Is that why you can’t recognise me? Why don’t you go see an optometrist?” Shi Sheng’s gaze coolly swept over Fei Qi.
Fei Qi, “…” ‘This little brat’s pretty arrogant to dare to speak to me like this!’
“Ke Er!” It would be unbefitting to get into an argument with a junior, hence Fei Qi yelled at Ke Er instead. ‘She’s his goddaughter, so he should give me an explanation!’
“What you yelling at?” Shi Sheng suddenly swung her sword in his direction. The swing didn’t appear very powerful—as if she had just casually waved her sword. But a formless force swept over. Fei Qi’s reaction was fast as he nimbly dodged, but the furniture behind him wasn’t so lucky—they all disintegrated.
The people who had just barely managed to escape the same fate stared at Shi Sheng’s sword fearfully.
‘This looks like a normal iron sword, so why does it have so much power? This is simply too…frightening!’
“Was it fun to impersonate me?” Once she’d shut Fei Qi up, Shi Sheng turned to look at Ling Xiang. “Come on, let’s have a chat about life.”
Ling Xiang panicked and couldn’t help but retreat, her eyes searching frantically for a way out. ‘I must’ve already been discovered since the beginning. Else, why would this family have been so cold to me?’
“Dear sister, where do you think you’re going?” Ling Xiang felt a cool breeze behind her as Rui Yi brought two people to block off her path of retreat.
Rui Yi swiftly clamped his hand around her neck. “Who gave you the guts, huh? Even dared to impersonate my lil princess!”
“Wu wu…”
‘They DID know! Yet they played me for a fool!’
“Ke Er, what’s going on?”
The confused crowd also wanted to know this.
‘Weren’t we just discussing whether or not Mi Nai had broken the agreement? How come a second Mi Nai suddenly appeared?’
Ke Er cleared his throat. “This woman impersonated Mi Nai, but I didn’t know what her motive was. Hence, I let her be…”
Ke Er’s was neither slow nor hurried in his speech and his explanation was easy to understand, so everyone soon knew the situation.
“So, just who’s the killer?” Regardless of who the real Mi Nai was, they were all vampires.
“I swear on my honour as a Prince that Mi Nai has nothing to do with this.” Ke Er spoke with a stern expression.
Because swearing using the honour of a Prince was akin to an oath where one would suffer a terrible fate if they broke it, most of the vampires believed his words.
But Fei Qi smiled coldly. “That’s just your one-sided proclamation. Who knows if it’s true? Who knows who the person that broke the agreement truly is?”
“Fei Qi, why are you opposing me so much?” A dangerous glint appeared in Ke Er’s eyes.
