When her soft palms crossed the spearhead, it left a jarring bloodstained cut on her fair skin.
As her blood dripped down along her palm and onto the ground, it was like a blood-red flower blossoming.
Zhan Fei squinted as he could not tell what Ji Fengyan was thinking.
But Su Lingsheng laughed coldly as she thought that Ji Fengyan was scared out of her wits and had wanted to kill herself.
“Considering that you are also a terminator like me, if you hand over the Everlasting Love Flower now and give me this Yang Jian person, I can spare your life,” Zhan Fei said coldly.
But Ji Fengyan replied, “What if I am unwilling?”
“Anyone who defies the commands of the eldest princess shall,” he paused, “die!”
Zhan Fei’s deep voice sounded with a strong murderous intent.
Linghe and the rest who were at the side were already in cold sweat. Even though they knew that they were no match for him, they were all prepared to charge forward to save Ji Fengyan before Zhan Fei took any actions.
Gong Zhiyu’s brows were tightly furrowed and he watched with a complicated gaze at the scene before him.
“Oh? Then you can try to kill me.” Ji Fengyan was neither shocked nor scared and her smile remained on her face.
No one had noticed that the blood-red flower that had formed underneath her feet had silently seeped into the hard marble floor, leaving no trace behind.
“Then don’t blame me for being disrespectful!” Zhan Fei grunted loudly. He quickly drew back his arm that was holding onto the spear as he gathered the energy for a deadly blow to this brat, who did not know that she would be dying soon!
Almost at the same time, Ji Fengyan used her finger that was at the side of her body to draw a circle in the air…
But!
Just at this moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared between the two of them!
“Don’t be disrespectful!” a shout followed the appearance of the dark figure and reverberated in the hall.
The familiar voice made Zhan Fei stop his hand that was about to swing his spear in midair.
Ji Fengyan looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in his black clothes, feeling puzzled.
That was a seemingly 27 or 28-year-old young man. He was wearing a dark green armour and carrying a dark bow on his back.
“The dark guard?” Zhan Fei looked at this man with shock and an uneasy feeling creeped up his body.
The young man who was recognised as a dark guard shot Zhan Fei an indifferent look. “How dare you be so rude in front of the nation’s grand tutor?”
Zhan Fei’s hand that was holding onto the spear immediately shivered.
Su Lingsheng and Lei Min were even more shocked.
Almost at the instant that the voice of the young man had sounded, the three of them had turned back at the same time to see a figure fully clothed in white standing at the entrance of the hall!
The three of them did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down on one knee. Cold sweat broke out on their backs as the sound of their kneel could be heard very clearly.
“Bow to the nation’s grand tutor!
A trembling shout reverberated in the hall.
Ji Fengyan raised her eyes slightly as she looked at that figure that was wearing pure white clothes and her eyes wavered at that instant.
That handsome young man was so beautiful that it made people breathless. He was wearing a long white robe with golden lining at the side that was elegant but not too extravagant. His dark hair seemed even more striking with the contrast of the plain clothes. He stood quietly at the entrance of the hall, as if he had seen everything in the world. He was like the bright moon in the dark night sky and emitted a cold but graceful glow, making people unable to look away.
The nation’s grand tutor, Xing Lou.
In the kingdom, he was the true spiritual leader and even the Emperor had to give way to him.
