Chapter 785: Chapter 278: Confession
Gu Feng had been lurking in the East Bright Temple for several days, and with great difficulty, finally waited until Donghuang Lingling arrived. Alas, the woman he saw was adorned like another man’s wife; Gu Feng watched from the side, his heart aching.
Yet, he remained unyielding, and only when the night grew deep and quiet, assuring himself that Donghuang Lingling was alone, did he stealthily enter.
Donghuang Lingling heard the noise and turned her head chanically.
She looked at Gu Feng, her eyes showing utter calm without a trace of excitent, her gaze upon Gu Feng as if he were a stranger.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into this Princess’s dwelling in the dead of night?"
"Lingling, what’s wrong with you? It’s , Gu Feng," Gu Feng said desperately, wanting to step forward and explain.
"Do not co closer, or I will call for help," Donghuang Lingling said, as skittish as a frightened bird, her face full of wariness.
"Lingling, don’t be alard, what’s happened to you? I ca to find you. You can’t marry the Prince of Later Qin, that man is no good," Gu Feng also noticed that sothing was off with Donghuang Lingling.
Yet looking at her, she was indeed the Lingling he’d been longing for day and night.
Gu Feng had yet to notice the strangeness in Donghuang Lingling and assud she was pretending not to recognize him out of necessity.
Gu Feng had been disguising himself as a little monk in the East Bright Temple, and when Dugu Xiu and Donghuang Lingling’s carriage arrived at the temple earlier, he had seen Prince Dugu Xiu in the crowd.
Gu Feng had also been intimidated by the sheer presence of Dugu Xiu, privately thinking that Dugu Xiu was the most suitable match for Donghuang Lingling.
Just as Gu Feng was about to give up and bid Donghuang Lingling farewell for the last ti, he unexpectedly saw Lady Chi Bi entering Dugu Xiu’s room.
Before long, ambiguous sounds ca from the room.
Although Gu Feng was unversed in the affairs of n and won, hearing that sound, he knew what was happening inside.
Dugu Xiu was actually carrying on an affair with another woman on the eve of his wedding to Lingling.
How could such a man possibly be a worthy match for Donghuang Lingling?
At that mont, Gu Feng was infuriated. If it weren’t for a shred of reason, he would have nearly barged in and confronted Dugu Xiu.
Fortunately, over the years, Gu Feng’s maturity had increased, and he knew that rashness was to be avoided.
His mind was filled with the thought of telling Donghuang Lingling everything, taking her away from there.
"Nonsense. Prince Dugu is an outstanding talent, a dragon among n, a match made in heaven with ," Donghuang Lingling said, hollowly.
"Lingling, wake up, don’t be deceived by that boy’s flowery words," in desperation, Gu Feng stepped forward and grabbed Donghuang Lingling.
However, Donghuang Lingling recoiled, her expression one of extre disgust: "Help! There’s an assassin."
The temple was tranquil and Donghuang Lingling’s cry echoed for miles around.
Just at that mont, Dugu Xiu, accompanied by Lady Chi Bi, arrived outside the dwelling. Hearing the disturbance, they both hurriedly kicked the door open and entered.
"How audacious, where did this assassin co from, daring to break into the Princess’s chamber by night," Dugu Xiu focused his gaze and saw a simple-looking man holding Donghuang Lingling.
"I am not an assassin, I am Lingling’s senior brother Gu Feng, a trainee at the Mainland Magic Elite Camp," Gu Feng, flushed with embarrassnt, still wanted to explain, "If you don’t believe it, you can ask Lingling."
"Princess, do you recognize this person?" Lady Chi Bi asked with a smirk on her lips.
Gu Feng, wasn’t that the love-struck young lad who had written a letter to Donghuang Lingling before?
Alas, he was devoted but to no avail. At this mont, Donghuang Lingling wouldn’t recognize him even if he were her own father, much less a fool head over heels for her.
"I don’t know him," Donghuang Lingling’s cold words sent Gu Feng into the depths of despair.
"Lingling," Gu Feng cried out in agony.
"Drag him out and kill him," Dugu Xiu ordered sternly.
At the word "kill
