After that soldier took his leave, Yun Wu's eyes swept around the room and with that, at a gentle pace, she walked into the study at the back of this elegant room . The bookshelf in it was loaded with books . Writing brushes, ink sticks, ink slabs and paper were all available .
It seed that this Zhou Feiyu was a man adept in both the pen and the sword .
But all of a sudden .
Yun Wu saw a painting on the desk out of the corner of her eye and was slightly stunned when she caught sight of what the painting presented .
"What do you think? Did I do a good job?" suddenly a solemn voice tinged with amus.e.m.e.nt ca from outside the study .
She turned her head back and saw that Zhou Feiyu in black walked inside . Lips slightly curved, he was looking at her, a faint light glimring in his black eyes .
Any woman would involuntarily be attracted to such a handso man .
However, after giving a glimpse at him, Yun Wu withdrew her eyes .
On the table was a portrait of her, which was of cla.s.sical style . In terms of characterization, the portrait bore a striking resemblance to her .
She must admit that this man's painting skills were pretty good, since he managed to draw such a good likeness of her with rely painting brushes .
"You seem to have violated my portraiture right," Yun Wu said in a deep voice .
However, Zhou Feiyu was stunned after hearing this remark . He didn't quite understand what she ant .
Irrespective of whether he understood her or not, Yun Wu stretched out her hand and took that portrait, which was then abruptly set afire .
Zhou Feiyu knitted his eyebrows together .
"You . . . "
But then he just watched the fla in her hand and the absent-mindedness on her face, a look of amus.e.m.e.nt flashing across the bottom of his eyes .
"It seems that you little woman never cease to surprise . "
After the portrait was burnt to ashes, the fla disappeared .
Then Yun Wu turned her head aside, gave a glance at him and curved her lips in a grim smile, "Speaking of surprises, is there anything more surprising than your ident.i.ty? The Seventh Prince of Zhou Dynasty?"
Zhou Feiyu's surna was Zhou . He had a remarkably high status in this army and also managed to reach Tier VII at such a young age .
Originally, Yun Wu had been rely speculating .
It was not until she saw the stamp on the painting that she beca certain about it .
As far as she could rember, among all those princes of the Zhou Dynasty, there was a Prince Regent who was the youngest and well-known to every household . He fought valiantly on the battlefield at the age of twelve and did a lot of impressive warti exploits . When he was fifteen, the t.i.tle of the Prince Regent was conferred on him, which was a rare exception . In most people's sight, he was second only to the Emperor .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
However, the Seventh Prince's mother ca from a humble family background, which was why he was not allowed to partic.i.p.ate in imperial court affairs, though he bore the t.i.tle of the Prince Regent . He was appointed supre commander of the three armies stationed on the border and was supposed to a.s.sist the Crown Prince in succeeding to the throne in the future .
After that, the Seventh Prince had been staying on the border area and never ca back to the royal palace .
Although this Luo City was not a border city, there were only three cities between it and the border .
So it was not absolutely impossible that this man was that legendary Seventh Prince .
The bland smile on Zhou Feiyu's well-featured face was replaced by coldness when he heard Yun Wu's words and a ferocious look flashed across the bottom of his eyes .
Yun Wu naturally saw it, but she pretended otherwise .
She walked past him to the table in the living room, sat down, poured a cup of tea and slowly took a sip of it, "If you want to kill to keep your secret safe, you should do it now, because if you don't, you might not have another chance . "
He was probably the one who built this secret dostication base . And his purpose was very obvious .
Power, the throne, ambition . . . these things were always related to royal mbers .
If the existence of this secret dostication base was disclosed to outsiders, there would be dire consequences .
Zhou Feiyu took a deep look at Yun Wu with his black eyes, peering at her . The thought of killing her had indeed crossed his mind, but . . .
After quite a while, a smile appeared on Zhou Feiyu's solemn face .
"If you were soone else, I would surely have killed you . But sooner or later, you'll be my woman," there was a.s.sertiveness in his domineering tone .
This tone was always so unpleasant .
Yun Wu's eyebrows furrowed, "These are so quite big words . "
With a solemn smile, Zhou Feiyu said, "I took a fancy to you . No won I took fancy to run away from . "
If these words were said to her by soone she liked, they would have made a pretty good love confession .
But clearly, Yun Wu was sneering at his conceited and unduly positive tone .
She slightly curved her lips in a faint smile, "Is that so? We'll see . "
"Snap!"
At this mont, a knock on the door was heard .
The door was not closed, but seeing that Zhou Feiyu was in the room, the soldier who was carrying a lunch box still knocked .
Zhou Feiyu signaled him to co in . The soldier quickly placed the bowls and dishes on the table and then hurriedly left .
Zhou Feiyu took a bowl of rice and pa.s.sed it to Yun Wu .
"Have so . It's already dark . I'll get you out of here tomorrow if you want to leave . "
Yun Wu glanced at him and took the bowl, but then she returned it to him, leaned over and took another bowl of rice from the table .
This suggested that she was very suspicious of him .
Zhou Feiyu was very embarra.s.sed .
But he giggled, "Little woman, you seem to be very suspicious of . "
Yun Wu raised her purple eyes and coldly looked at him, "Do you think I have any reason to be unsuspicious of you?"
"And my na is Phoenix Wu . If you still want to enjoy this al, you'll have to stop calling that disgusting na . "
Little woman?
Yun Wu felt that this form of address was really disgusting .
After what she did in the Murong family, he would know the na "Phoenix Wu" sooner or later anyway .
"Phoenix Wu?" Zhou Feiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at her . "Your surna is Wu . Are you a mber of the Wu Family?"
The Wu Family?
What was that?
Yun Wu was stunned for a second, ignoring him .
She didn't care whether he misunderstood or not . After the issue of the Murong family was dealt with, she would return to the capital city under the na Yun Wu . And before that, she hoped that that man would be able to find her after hearing about the scene she had made .
Part of the reason why she had made such a scene in the Murong family was indeed because she hoped that that missing man would be able to hear about it and find her .
That torrent had nurous branches which stretched out all over the three kingdoms, and she had no idea where the river had taken him .
Since she didn't have a clue where to find him, she might as well let him co to her .
Seeing that Yun Wu remained silent, Zhou Feiyu believed that his guess was right .
In Longxu Kingdom, near the border .
The Dragon Brook Town was located in the Longxu Kingdom near the Magic Beasts Forest .
Similar to the Dragon Town in the Zhou Kingdom, this town was in a out-of-the-way area but very busy, with an excited coming and going of people .
In a luxurious mansion in this town .
A tall figure slowly stood up in a dicated bath pool . His body was strong with skin firm and whiter than that of won, but red marks could be vaguely seen .
Those marks seed to be left by newly-healed wounds .
"Master, I brought you your clothes," at this mont, a tender female voice ca from the doorway . A coquettish woman carrying a suit of white clothes walked inside .
The man, who had just finished the bath, knitted his pretty eyebrows . A gust of wind blew over and the curtain drooped .
"Put down the clothes and leave," his voice was cold, deep and emotionless .
The woman instantly stopped and watched the man behind the curtain, disappointnt gleaming in her charming eyes .
But soon, a smile appeared on her beautiful face and she said in a tender voice, "Master, your wounds have just healed . Please let Ruo Ling serve you!"
However, before she could take a step forward, that cold voice was heard again, "Lingqi!"
With that, a black figure ca out of nowhere in a flash . She was wearing a black mask and black clothes, revealing only her icy, ruthless eyes which were on Ruoling .
"Miss Ruo, you know what kind of man master is very well . Please give the clothes and leave . "
After saying this in a solemn voice, Lingqi took the clothes from Ruo Ling's hands .
Watching Lingqi in a black mask, Ruo Ling knitted her willow-leaf shaped eyebrows together and gave a glance at the curtain . Eventually, she still didn't dare to disobey . Sowhat reluctantly, she took her leave .
The door was closed .
Then Lingqi sent the clothes into the room, reporting .
"Master, I've got so news of the person you asked to find . "
"Keep talking!"
"I just got a ssage saying that a teenage girl made a scene in the Murong Mansion in Luo City of the Zhou Kingdom, but this ssage is not confird yet . I've already had soone go nonstop to the Zhou Kingdom . "
The curtain was raised . A man in white languidly walked out .
"That's not necessary . I'll go there myself . "
At night .
After everything was done, Zhou Feiyu headed for the guest room .
Two guards were standing not far away from the door of the guest room Yun Wu was accommodated . On the sight of Zhou Feiyu, they bowed in unison .
The lamp was still ablaze in the room . Under the candlelight, a figure could be seen sitting in front of the table .
As a result, the two guards had been standing there unworried .
In an undertone, Zhou Feiyu said to the guard behind him, "Leave, all of you . "
“Yes!”
After hearing his order, the guard who had been following him as well as the two guards near the doorway took their leave .
"Snap!"
Zhou Feiyu knocked at the door .
But after quite a while, there was still no response .
"Miss Wu!" he called .
Finally, Zhou Feiyu realized that sothing was wrong . Without any noticeable movents, he exerted a force on the door which was then instantly opened, as if soone smashed it open .
Zhou Feiyu walked inside and looked around, but n.o.body was in .
Beside the candle, there was an erect paper model, the shadow of which was projected onto the window by the candlelight, bringing about a semblance of soone sitting beside the table .
Zhou Feiyu grabbed that paper model . The look on his face was sowhat cold, but at the sa ti, an intense desire to catch her rose in him .
"Phoenix Wu! You think you can run away from ?"
With a grip, the paper folding model was instantly crumpled into a ball . There was callousness tinged with sternness in his deep voice .
Under the cover of night, a phantom figure retraced the previous route and soundlessly left this magic beast woods .
While it was still dark, she quickly returned to the west wing .
