Chapter 1122: Ghost Saint Country 83

ceive clues and spread them around, whitewashing you and reducing the number of assassination attempts against you. However, this still cannot change the fact that there are people behind the scenes m...Dugu Cheng didn't answer, but looked at the fake Ye Mei who was staring at him.

Tell me, what brings you, disguised as Ye Mei, to the Yao Clan's main residence this time

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Xin Shui's face darkened. She wasn't a woman who could just brush things off. Without explaining herself clearly, she wanted to discuss something with him—was this Dugu Cheng taking himself too seriously

Dugu Cheng curved his lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He stood up with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Are all the members of the Ghost Saint Kingdom Ya Clan as domineering as you"

"What do you want, and what's it to you, Prince Chen Best figure out who's territory this is."

The moment the words left her lips, swords drew from their sheaths outside the door, pointed at Dugu City and Ye Xi. Xinshui stood up, gazing at Dugu City, who towered over her by a head.

"I never expected the future clan leader's father to be this handsome. If it weren't for me already having someone I like, I would truly want to compete with Feng Lingxi for you."

獨孤城 impatiently glanced at her.

"You followed me here, you couldn't have just been here to protect Wan'er."

"She is the destined chieftain, how could anything happen to her I came here looking for someone. Prince Chen is exceptionally intelligent; he must know who I'm looking for."

"I don't know."

Dugu City's voice was cold, "Your Yao Clan of the Ghost Saint Nation can look for people, just don't disturb my family."

Xinshui circled around Dugu City, scrutinizing it carefully, and sneered repeatedly.

"Could the Crown Prince be putting on such a show Is he trying to deceive everyone and usurp the throne, waiting for the right moment"

Dugu City remained expressionless, not taking the words of this beloved to heart at all.

"Don't think I don't know, the throne of the Yuan Dynasty should have been yours. Now that Dugu Su has it, wouldn't Prince Chen be dissatisfied"

獨孤城唇邊笑容越發冷，看著心水的自信滿滿的推測，眼神掃過，盯著心水看，“本王倒是佩服水姑娘，本王自己都不知道本王心中不滿，水姑娘是如何得知本王的心意，莫非，水姑娘是本王肚子裡的蛔蟲不成？”

"Prince Chen, let me advise you, it's best to be careful with your words. People say what they do in the Jianghu. Going against me won't end well for you."

Dugu Cheng's eyes turned cold, only to see a flash of cold light, and there was suddenly a sword placed on Xinshui's neck.

"People in the Jianghu abide by its rules. Miss Shui, you better think carefully about what you should and shouldn't do."

Her heart pounded, unable to calm. The sword on her neck was closing in, she could practically feel it grazing her skin. This Dugu City was so swift, before she even knew what was happening, she was held captive.

Taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart, she managed a small smile.

I was just joking with the Crown Prince. No need to be so serious. Let's talk it out properly.

Xin Shui tried to move the sword away with her hand, but the sword on her neck tightened, and blood flowed from Xin Shui's throat. Everyone was frightened and immediately drew their swords, pointing them at Dugu City and Ye Xi.

"Don't...don't be impulsive."

Her heart pounded, she had never been held captive like this before. The martial arts skills of this Dugu City were clearly superior to hers.

"How about a deal I guarantee the King of the East will love it."

Xinshui hastily discussed the terms, she certainly didn't want to die at the hands of this Dugu Cheng.

Dugu Cheng remained silent, his eyes still cold. Xiusui looked at the subordinate pointing a sword at Dugu Cheng and shouted angrily, "All of you, back down!"

Xinshui's tone softened, "Prince Chen, can you put down your sword now You came here not to kill me, but to negotiate terms. Why all this commotion"

Dugu City retrieved his sword, sheathing it. He then sat down.

Xinshui touched the blood on her neck, anger surged within her. However, when she met Dugucheng's gaze, she quickly suppressed it.

Before, I had investigated the identity of King Chen. He sent someone to impersonate Ye Mei, but unexpectedly, he still saw through it.

"Your Highness, Prince Chen, I have something unclear. Everyone in the world says that Prince Chen is afraid of his wife, and that all matters are handled by the Princess Consort. Why is Prince Chen now taking action himself..."

Before she could finish her words, a dart whistled past Xinshui's face, grazing her forehead and drawing blood again. It embedded itself in the pillar behind her. Xinshui was terrified, her body trembling as she stared at Dugu Cheng.

This is real anger.

This Dugu City is even more ruthless than the rumored Shezi Tears in the Jianghu.

But the rumors about Crown Prince Chen weren't as impressive as he seemed now.

"Do you want to continue"

Dugu City's tone carried a warning, and Xinshui hurriedly came to her senses, accompanying a smile and saying, "Your Highness, please calm down, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

"Why would someone impersonate a night demon to elicit sympathy from Xier"

Xinshui walked up to the person pretending to be Ye Mei, and kicked him hard in the chest, lowing growling, "Waste."

Can't get anything done.

Now she still needs to come and give her a closing.

“It seems you think this king’s previous actions were insufficient”

Xin Shui's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly accompanied a smile to explain, "No, actually I just wanted to test if the Princess Consort truly cared about the Crown Prince."

Du Gucheng's eyes turned cold, and Xin Shui hurriedly said, "To be frank with the Crown Prince, I have feelings for Luoli. When the Crown Princess went to Yaozu, the patriarch protected her especially. I was jealous, so I wanted to find someone to test if the Crown Princess really liked the Crown Prince as rumored."

Dugu City remained silent. Xin Shui saw that he wasn't reacting and hurriedly raised her hand to swear an oath.

"I swear, everything I said is true. I was just afraid that the Prince would like the Princess Consort, so I had someone test her out. I really didn't have any other intentions, and I never meant to go against the Prince."

獨孤城's face showed no change in expression, still as cold as ever.

When Xinshui saw this, the more she panicked.

To make sure Dugu City would believe him, he continued:

"Prince Chen probably doesn't know, Brother Li not only brought Princess Chen to live in the Holy Temple, but he treats Wan’er as well as his own biological daughter. No matter what Wan’er does, Brother Li indulges her. That's why I thought..."

"Do you suspect that Xier is not loyal to this king"

Dugu Cheng's eyes turned colder, and Shui was so frightened that he took a step back.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. I only wanted to prove that Brother Li doesn't have romantic feelings for the Princess Consort. I didn't mean any disrespect towards the Princess Consort."

If she were to say yes now, Dugu City would definitely kill her immediately.

Dugu Cheng's handsome face was even colder.

How do you know Night Demon

"Isn't this easier The Night Demon girl from Tianxiang Building, she's quite famous. If you want to see her, just have silver and you can meet her. Think about it, and you'll know." Xinshui said this with some fear, as the owner of Tianxiang Building most despised those who dared to touch his people.

"Luoli wasn't in the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty Shui Gu should know."

Dugu City's cold eyes glanced at him, his heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding swept over him.o one came to congratulate him. Everyone was unhappy with Feng Lingxi, and even some bold individuals went to the county government to propose marriage to Feng Lingxi. After all, everyone knew the rel...
