Chapter 473 “The Mistress of the Phoenix Manor (p1)”
“Princess, allow me to ask you this, do you think the Phoenix Edict is that easy to steal?”
Earlier she only knew the object was the identification token belonging to the Phoenix Manor due to the brief glance. Therefore, to be reminded that its actually the Phoenix Edict and not just the average kind was like a bomb, exploding within her head.
Regarding this Phoenix Edict, there are quite a few rumors within the palace about it. First would be the extreme security surrounding its safeguard that hardly anyone would be even privy to seeing it, let alone touching the d.a.m.n thing, hence the reason why she would mistake it for another inferior badge.
Why would she have that? Everyone knows only the Mistress of the Phoenix Manor would be honored with the item!
Qing Bi and Feng Shen may be relatives with similar age gaps; however, this princess has no delusion that her cousin held a much higher weight within the king’s eye. In fact, if Feng Shen willed it, every other royalty of North Qing wouldn’t stand a chance against him in the compet.i.tion for the throne. That just goes to show how favored this Phoenix Lord was.
Understanding the danger she was putting herself in, Qing Bi hurried to shut that mouth. Though she’s not speaking no more, those eyes still radiated hatred.
“If that"s the case then there’s no need for us to stick around. Sister Caier, A’bone, Jin Wu Monster, let’s go back to Moon City first to pack up before heading to North Qing.” No longer willing to stay to continue this pointless conversation, Ling Yue didn’t even shoot another glance at the prince when leaving.
She’s not so good tempered that she could just ignore the fact that she’s been robbed.
“Ling Yue, I!” Watching that departing back fluttering away, Xia Hou Qi could do nothing to stop this from happening. In the end, he could only shutter his eyes in pain.
No matter what he too was like the others, a self person at heart. Otherwise, why would he silently accept his father’s decision to exclude Ling Yue from the Star Cave Venture?
He’s afraid, afraid that Ling Yue would be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Feng Shen when they arrive at North Qing – that man gave him an unprecedented level of pressure.
Take that confrontation within the royal palace for example. Though their interaction was but a brief one; however, Xia Hou Qi’s impression of the lad was that of a crouching tiger waiting to pounce, totally different from that frail image he led others to believe.
While the prince was moping over the mistake he himself caused, Lan Caier on the other hand was getting more and more angry while they headed back to Moon City.
In the big girl’s eye, Ling Yue was undoubtedly the most talented alchemist within Da Xia’s younger generation. Therefore, it’s truly infuriating that her younger sister couldn’t get a spot while these cats and dogs could.
“This is the last time,” the small reply actually made everyone go blank for a second.
Ye Ling Yue has finally lost all feelings for Da Xia, her land of birth. This would be her last time helping this nation. Afterwards, anything in the future won’t be of concern to herself.
