Zi Cheng wanted to avoid Ai Lin if possible. At the sa ti she didnt want to offend her either. Therefore she opted for a neutral approach: polite but reserved. As long as Ai Lin didnt antagonize her, she didnt mind maintaining a faade of cordiality.
They were antsy to return to Zhongyong so theyre already gone. We only tead up to do the mission so it wasnt like I could make them co to the vein with , was Ai Lins near instant reply.
Speaking of the mission made Jier and his team feel guilty. Not only had they completed it in record ti, there was also a huge prize for the capture of one of their mbers. Who knew what would happen if anyone found out.
Thankfully Ai Lin changed the topic.
Are you seniors from school? Although Ai Lin already knew who they were, she pretended not to know. This was technically their first eting.
Oh? Do you know us? Luis raised his hand to his chin in thought. Interesting, just t Juniors Jier and Feng Wu, now this new arrival is also a junior.
Oh you seniors are very popular. Many of the freshn girls are secretly in love with you. Ai Lin responded playfully.
Are we really that popular? Luis excitedly sat up, even going so far as to pat his hair down to fix it.
I can believe those girls having a secret crush on Ming Xi, but you guys? Elena bluntly broke in.
Hey! Ming Xi isnt the only male in the group thats hot. Im sure there are girls who like the rest of us! Luis didnt think it was only Ming Xi.. .
Ai Lin was cheerful and easy to get along with so she befriended the seniors in no ti at all.
The trio didnt just idly sit and listen to Ai Lin chatting with Ming Xi and his group. They took the opportunity to eat everything they could on the table, stuffing their mouths and swallowing as fast as they were able.
Feng Wu was behaving strangely. Jier watched on and off. Instead of stuffing herself silly like she always did, she kept glancing at the door and the window. Ming Xi also noticed. She wasnt staring at him as intently as normal.
Xiao Wu, what are you looking at? Is there sothing at the door? Elena was sitting next to her, and she too noticed how Feng Wu kept glancing at the door.
Feng Wu bit her lip and spoke. Its so red outside. She frowned.
Red? Pei Qing repeated.
Xiao Wu, you an to say its dark outside right? Rain thought Feng Wu had misspoken.
Its not black, its definitely red." Of this, Feng Wu was positive.
The world Feng Wu saw had changed. The rain beca blood and the sky turned red.
Red? Everyone repeated in confusion. They swiveled their heads to the door, then the window. It was pitch black. What red? Was there sothing wrong with Feng Wus eyes?
Suddenly an entourage of bodyguards entered. They accompanied a princess and several maids. One maid carried an umbrella shielding the princess from the rain. She herself was soaked, but the princess remained dry.
Though the princess was dry, the hem of her dress was filthy with mud and rain. She had a netted hat covering her face, so they couldnt clearly see what she looked like.
The sudden arrival of the large group filled the inn to capacity.
Princess Nai Nai has arrived. Those not working for the inn should leave imdiately. The maid dressed in red was soaked and sorry looking but she spoke snobbishly to Feng Wu and the group.
Leave? Leave and go where? Do you see the rain outside? Luis smirked at the maid trying to intimidate them just because of her connection to the princess.
How audacious! The princess must shelter here temporarily because of the rain. She cant share the space with unknown commoners, so you need to leave. The guards will escort you out if you wont leave on your own.
First co, first serve. We were here first. Why should we leave? What a bullshit princess, Gerasi thought.
You -! The maid wanted to say more but she was interrupted by a large man in armor.
Enough! Its storming so much outside and you want to drive these people out? The rulers of the country wouldnt treat the common people so callously. The commander reprimanded the maid.
Stop arguing. This princess is exhausted. Prepare a room imdiately. Princess Nai Nai impatiently spoke from behind her hat.
The commander imdiately obeyed and asked the clerk to get things ready.
The owner of the inn didnt dare be slow. He imdiately led the princess and her maid to the best room in the inn.
That commander is a good man.
Yes. Jasmine agreed with Rain. But that princess is not so good.
Jasmine was incredibly arrogant. She only liked those of the sa social rank as her. She disdained any below and hated those above.
Ming Xi called a waiter over and in a low voice requested food, drinks and dry towels for the n that just ca in.
The commander didnt look their way again after nodding to Ming Xi. He sat down and comnced eating at his own table a distance away from them.
As for the princess, how could she dine with so many n. Her al was brought and served to her in her room.
Jier, theres a problem with the princess. Feng Wu abruptly spoke out.
A problem with the princess? Do you an to say shes a fake? Elena asked.
Shes surrounded by female blood and spirits. All of them bear such powerful grudges against her. People will die. Feng Wu said this more to herself than as an answer to Elenas question.
Feng Wu could see things other people couldnt. As soon as the princess ca in, she had noticed the strange aura around the princess.
There were so many grudges around her. Every single one of them wanted her dead. They wailed incessantly and flew at her, trying to attack her. Their attacks were deflected, and in so cases the grudges themselves were even shattered and destroyed. There was sothing on the princesss body protecting her.
