Yun Qianyu was stunned by Xiao Jiuyuan’s smile. ‘Hmph, how could this as*hole have such a nice smile. The Heavens are really unfair! Don’t they know how disgustingly evil this person is? Why would they give him such a handsome face? Pah!’
Yun Qianyu then said sarcastically, “Your Highness has again taught me something. I never knew royalty were such liars. I wonder if people would gossip about how bad you are.”
Hearing this, Xiao Jiuyuan looked at her coldly and asked in a flat tone, “Do you think anyone dares to gossip about me? Are you trying to trick me into doing what you want? Do you think this Prince would be fooled?”
Wide-eyed, Yun Qianyu looked at Xiao Jiuyuan with disbelief. Assuming that Xiao Jiuyuan would not be giving her a spirit energy evoking manual, Yun Qianyu became extremely mad. She thought, ‘After doing so much for him, this jerk still won’t give me a spirit energy evoking manual! How hateful!’
Thinking of this, Yun Qianyu looked up, glared at Xiao Jiuyuan and said, “Alright, I now know what kind of person your Highness is. Never again will I believe in your Highness’s words.”
After saying that, she walked passed him toward the exit.
However, after taking a few steps, she heard Xiao Jiuyuan’s cold voice. “I don’t think I said I wouldn’t give you a spirit energy evoking manual.”
Stunned, Yun Qianyu quickly turned around and asked, “What do you mean?”
“I only wondered whether I should give you a manual. I didn’t say I wouldn’t give you one. On another note, this Prince welcomes you to try and take revenge after you’ve cultivated your spirit energy.”
After saying that, he put on an arrogant smile, turned around and walked out of the tent casually. It was clear that he did not take Yun Qianyu seriously at all.
Hearing that Xiao Jiuyuan would give her a spirit energy evoking manual, Yun Qianyu couldn’t help but be happy. However, thinking about what he had said at the end, she thought, ‘How arrogant can this person be! Alright, Xiao Jiuyuan, you just wait.’
Feeling a great hatred for the man in front of her, Yun Qianyu followed Xiao Jiuyuan out of the tent.
Just as they walked out of the tent, a group of Dragon Scale Army men came up to them, led by Hei Yao.
Hei Yao immediately started to report when he came up to Xiao Jiuyuan, “My Lord, I investigated the matter and found out that there was something suspicious about the cooks in the barracks. Only they could go out to purchase goods, thus it was highly likely that they were used by the enemy.”
“Where are these traitors?” Xiao Jiuyuan asked in a stern tone while his eyes filled with killing intent.
Hei Yao quickly replied, “My Lord, when I brought some men to capture the traitors, we discovered that they had committed suicide.”
As soon as Hei Yao said that, Xiao Jiuyuan sneered and said, “They think we can’t get to the bottom of it after they killed themselves? Draw up pictures of these traitors and go find out who they had met with. We must find out who is behind the attack, these traitors would not have had the guts to pull off something like this by themselves.”
“General Lin also has something to report.”
Hei Yao backed away, and the man standing beside him came forward. This man was the oldest one in the group and very tall. From a glance, it seemed obvious that this man was a military general who had fought many battles. His name was Lin Dong and he was one of the generals of the Dragon Scale Army.
“Your Highness, I recalled the enemy saying something when we fought them. I didn’t pay attention to it at that time, but now that I think about it, they seemed to be speaking the Bei Di language of the Northern Barbarians!”
“Bei Di?”
