Chapter 1471: Someone Has To Take Responsibility II
Lianyi’s expression was dark. She stared coldly at Feng Ruqing with a smirk on her face.
“I think everyone knows how the little prince went missing. When we get back, I will report this to His Highness honestly. Someone has to take responsibility for this matter.”
If Feng Ruqing had not reminded Big Brother Feng that he had gone the wrong way, Big Brother Feng would never have hit someone out of anger.
If it had not been for that slap, the little prince would not have rolled away.
If the little prince had not rolled away… He would not have been taken away by that leopard.
In summary, this responsibility should be entirely shouldered by Feng Ruqing!
“Let’s go!” Lianyi sauntered over to Nan Xian and deliberately softened her voice. “It’s dangerous here, and I have to report this to His Highness. Will you come with me?”
She did not want to part with this man.
But…
Now that Big Brother Feng was gone, there would surely be other trouble if they stayed in the deep region of the forest.
The little prince probably would not make it, so there was no meaning for them to stay. It was better to go back and report this to the emperor so that he can make his decisions.
But…
She still wanted to give Nan Xian one last chance.
If Nan Xian went with her, she would try to speak up for him before the emperor so that Feng Ruqing would not drag him down with her.
Nan Xian briefly lifted his hand. A chill appeared in his eyes mixed with murderous intent.
Feng Ruqing noticed Nan Xian’s actions. She held his hand gently and whispered, “Tang Yin.”
Tang Yin?
Tang Yin again!
Nan Xian’s expression turned cold. Back then, Qing’er had chosen to go with these people because of Tang Yin, which had resulted in them not being able to spend any time alone.
Now, she was stopping him from doing anything because of this Tang Yin again!
Did this Tang Yin… matter so much to her?
Nan Xian felt conflicted, but he recalled his murderous intent nonetheless. With a wave of his hand, a large force crashed into Lianyi’s chest, throwing her a few meters back.
“I didn’t kill her. She talks too much, so I don’t want to travel with her.”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
It seemed like… she really did talk too much.
“Let’s just not travel with them then. We’ll go and find Feng Lianqing.” Feng Ruqing squinted.
Wanting to know Lianyi’s ident.i.ty did not mean they had to probe her directly. Feng Lianqing… seemed easier to get along with. Most importantly, the man was dumb, so they could get more information.
“Yeah.” Nan Xian finally looked more at ease. He remained gentle as the clear moon and calm as a light breeze.
Feng Lianqing… was a man. There would be no problems when traveling with him.
“Ahem! Ahem!” Not too far away, Lianyi got up from the ground, coughing briefly. She looked ahead with a pale face as she watched the white robes disappear slowly, unable to retract her gaze for the longest time.
“Miss Lianyi!” The General Manor’s guard rushed over to Lianyi and asked worriedly, “Miss, are you okay?”
“I’m okay…” Lianyi closed her eyes gently. She felt a dull pain in her heart.
The first time.
This was the first time she had fallen for a man.
But this was the outcome she received…
“And don’t let General know about what happened just now.” Lianyi opened her eyes. “I wanted to help him out of kindness but he has treated me this way instead. If General knew about this, he would definitely get angry. I don’t want him… to face any danger.”
Even if he hated her or was annoyed by her, she did not want this man harmed in any way.
Lianyi wore a bitter smile as she looked in the direction where Nan Xian had disappeared to for the last time. After that, she retracted her gaze and turned to leave.
