Night Owl said, “Her purpose is to work with us, isn’t it? So, let’s talk to her.”

What Night Owl didn’t know was that Princess Yan Ling wasn’t that easy to talk to.

When Lord Jing went to see Princess Yan Ling, she said unhurriedly, “Negotiate? Of course, we can do that. But before that, sign this first.” Taking a look at the paper on the table, Lord Jing frowned.

It said that from now on, Lord Jing and Night Owl had to follow her orders. If they defied her, she would reveal Night Owl’s secret.

Even Lord Jing, who had been indulging Princess Yan Ling, lost his temper. He glared at the princess. “That’s an exorbitant price!” Princess Yan Ling said arrogantly, “You don’t say.”

Look at that condescending attitude…

Lord Jing felt that he was only a dog in front of her. In this world where the strong were respected, the princess was only a Spiritual Overlord, but she was so arrogant!

He was also a respected lord of the Dongsang Kingdom.

Lord Jing’s face was livid as he said coldly, “Princess, that’s not a negotiation, is

Princess Yan Ling glanced at him. “Negotiate? Who cares about that? Are we negotiating? Don’t you know who has the upper hand?”

She rose to her feet.

“I’m here on behalf of Dayan.

“We have talented people as well as ancient technologies.

“Now that I know your secret, if it gets out, you’re all dead!

“Do you think Night Owl is the only prince the kingdom has? The king has at least thirty sons, and there will be more in the future.

“Do you believe that I can destroy your son and you with a single sentence?

“You don’t want to sign it? Let’s see what’ll happen!”

Lord Jing’s face went scarlet red.

Princess Yan Ling sneered at him. “I see that you’re not sincere enough today. Come to me when you show your sincerity. Uncle Ma, see him out.”

She threatened Lord Jing with Ma Quanquan again.

Ma Quanquan, the peak Spiritual Saint, was the person that Jin Wang feared the most when facing Princess Yan Ling.

As Lord Jing stormed off, Princess Yan Ling smirked at her maid. “They’re just some dogs raised by my father. Who the hell do they think they are? Tsk!”

She didn’t raise her voice, but Lord Jing could hear her.

Lord Jing clenched his fists, and his face turned livid.

That was outrageous!

After Lord Jing left, Ma Quanquan frowned at Princess Yan Ling. “Princess, don’t overdo it.”

Princess Yan Ling glared at Ma Quanquan.

If I don’t show them some power, they’ll try to be my superior! Who do they think they are?!”

Ma Quanquan had no choice but to try his best to persuade her. “Princess, our priority is more important.”

Princess Yan Ling said, “I know. I won’t sabotage it.”

In Lord Jing’s study.

Thump!

Infuriated, Lord Jing swept everything off the table, and his face went scarlet red.

Lady Jing arrived in a hurry to find the mess.

It was the same as yesterday…

She asked what was going on.

Lord Jing gestured at her to leave.

“My dear husband…” Lady Jing said sadly, “You used to tell me everything. Are you keeping everything to yourself now?”

Lord Jing was so frustrated as he looked at his wife. He let her serve the wine and drank with her.

Lord Jing had been drinking nonstop. In the end, he had gone pale.

Lady Jing was about to put him to bed when Lord Jing suddenly asked, “What will you do if someone threatens you?”

Lady Jing looked at him. “Has someone threatened you?”

Lord Jing shouted, “What will you do if someone threatens you?!” Lady Jing clenched her fists and said, “No one should be threatened.

“If I compromise when threatened, I’ll be no different from a rat hiding in a ditch.

“You think the person threatening you will stop when the opportunity arises, but to that person, all they need to do is threaten you once and they’ll get what they want. Why not do it again? You’re afraid of them, anyway.

“Hiding in the shadows isn’t real life at all!

“My lord, you’re too proud to be threatened!”

Lord Jing’s eyes lit up. “My lady, do you think so as well?”

Lady Jing nodded. “Of course!”

“What do you think I should do?”

“Get rid of the threat, of course. Make sure that there’s no trace left behind!” Lady Jing clenched her fists. freewe(b)novel.com

“You’re right!” Lord Jing smacked the table. “Not only did she threaten me, but she also treated me like a dog! Does she think she’s that amazing?!”

Lady Jing asked curiously, “Who is she?”

Those words woke Lord Jing up from his reverie. “You can leave now.”

After Lady Jing excused herself, she left the study and went to a remote corner. She removed the makeup cream and revealed her true appearance. It was none other than Feng Wu.

Feng Wu knew that after what he had gone through, Lord Jing would drown his sorrows in wine when he got back home. Therefore, she put something in the wine, then disguised herself as Lady Jing and led him in that direction.

To Feng Wu, both Lord Jing and Princess Yan Ling were important chess pieces in the game she was playing.

She had been trying to figure out a way to set off a conflict between Princess Yan Ling and Lord Jing, but as it turned out, the princess was simply too easy a target. Not only did she look down upon Lord Jing and Night Owl, but she also knew their biggest secret and wouldn’t stop threatening them.

Both Lord Jing and Night Owl were proud men, and they couldn’t stand the humiliation.

Therefore, the conflict between the Lord Jing and Princess Yan Ling could lead to friction between the Dongsang Kingdom and the Dayan Empire. It would buy the Junwu Empire a lot of time.

Feng Wu was thrilled at that thought.

Lord Jing had already made up his mind. As his most capable guard, Feng Wu, aka Jing Wei, would definitely be sent out. When that happened…

Feng Wu smiled a little, and there was a cunning look in her eyes.

Lord Jing was a cautious man. He wouldn’t act alone but would consult Night Owl.

But before that…

Lord Jing summoned Feng Wu. “Jing Wei, how have I treated you?”

Feng Wu thought, “Here we go!”

Despite her excitement, she didn’t let it show on her face. She immediately bowed and said, “My lord it was you who helped me to reach the Spiritual Saint stage. You’ve done me a great favor, and I’m all yours now!”

Lord Jing stared at Feng Wu with a stern look on his face. “Do you mean it?”

Feng Wu said earnestly, “Yes, of course.”

Lord Jing nodded and told Feng Wu, “Eat it, then.”

He handed Feng Wu a black pill.

Other people might not recognize it, but Feng Wu recognized it as soon as she smelled it. It was a Bloodthirsty Bone-Destroying Pill, and a Supreme Level one at that. Normal people wouldn’t be able to neutralize it.

Feng Wu was a Semi-divine medicine refiner, so she could make an antidote.

Lord Jing looked at Feng Wu and said indifferently, “Take this pill, and I’ll trust you wholeheartedly. From now on, you’ll be the person I trust the most!”

In fact, only a handful of people in the Jing Manor had become Spiritual Saints.

The Spiritual Saint stage was very rare. Thanks to the fact that Lord Jing was the king’s only brother, he was able to raise a Spiritual Saint subordinate.

In the Junwu Empire, a Spiritual Saint could be the principal of Imperial College.

That was to say, with the help of Dayan, the Dongsang Kingdom was indeed more powerful than the Junwu Empire.

Feng Wu took the pill, stuffed it in her mouth, and swallowed it without hesitation!

Lord Jing looked at Feng Wu in amazement.

The more capable a cultivator was, the harder it was to control them. Therefore, Lord Jing had his suspicions about this subordinate from time to time, but he didn’t expect the man to be so obedient..

“Why aren’t you hesitating at all? Aren’t you worried that I’ll feed you the poison?!”

The look on Feng Wu’s face had never been so serious. “My lord, you’ve done me a great favor, and I feel I was born again. I’m at your disposal now, and this pill is nothing. Even if you order me to stab myself right now, I won’t hesitate!”

Feng Wu was an expert in acting. She almost believed it herself, let alone Lord Jing…

“What a fool,” thought Lord Jing.

However, such a fool was much more reliable.

Moreover, the toxin would kill him after he used it, so there was no need for Lord Jing to kill Jing Wei.

The look on Lord Jing’s face was indecipherable, but Feng Wu could see the ferocity in his eyes.

But soon, Lord Jing smiled, patted Feng Wu on the shoulder, and heaved a sigh. “You’re the best guard in this manor. You’re the one I trust the most…”

Feng Wu cursed inwardly.

But she couldn’t let it show, so she kept her face straight.

Lord Jing said, “Of the four guards, I’ve always considered you the most talented and loyal one. I was right. You didn’t disappoint me.”

Feng Wu played along and looked touched.

Feng Wu said in a serious tone, “My lord, feel free to order me around! I’ll do anything for you

Lord Jing said, “That won’t be necessary. You only need to kill one person.”

Feng Wu said earnestly, “My lord, please tell me who you want to kill. I’ll go fetch their head and present it to you!”

Lord Jing looked pained. “That person has humiliated me and tried to sabotage my plan. I can’t stand it. That person is Princess Yan Ling!”

Feng Wu looked surprised.

Lord Jing said sternly, “Are you afraid?”

Feng Wu said, “There’s nothing I’m afraid of. I’ll even cut off His Majesty’s head, let alone Princess Yan Ling’s.”

Hearing that, Lord Jing smacked the armrest of his chair. ‘Good! Good! I was right about you!”

“Shall I go now, then?”

Feng Wu turned to leave after that.

“Wait.” Lord Jing shook his head. “We’ll have to think about it. Go get ready.”

“Yes.”

Feng Wu went back to her room, leaving Little Phoenix here as her mouthpiece.

No Lord Jing’s plan could fool her.

Little Phoenix stopped nagging about its cultivation because it knew that they were at a critical moment now, and it needed to play along with Feng Wu.

In Lord Jing’s study.

After Feng Wu left, Lord Jing walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

He murmured, “I have to find a way to lure Ma Quanquan away, and I have to make it look like someone else is the culprit. It won’t be easy. Owl is a smart man, and I need to talk to him about it.”

Little Phoenix then saw Lord Jing open the secret door of the study.

“Wait!” Little Phoenix cried out in amazement. “Oh my, this is incredible!”

Sitting cross-legged in her room, Feng Wu communicated with Little Phoenix in her head. “How so?”

Little Phoenix said excitedly, “Didn’t you go into Lord Jing’s study before? You’ve searched the area, haven’t you?”

Feng Wu said, “That’s right.”

Little Phoenix said, “You’ve been in that cultivation room, haven’t you?”

Feng Wu nodded. “That’s right.”

Little Phoenix said, “But you don’t know that there’s a secret passageway!”

Feng Wu asked, “What?”

Little Phoenix said, “Lord Jing is incredible. He really knows how to do it. If we’re not careful, he’ll keep everything from us!”

Little Phoenix told Feng Wu in detail, “The mechanisms in that secret room are deliberately exposed so that if someone found out about it, nothing would happen. However, on the other side, Lord Jing has dug a secret passageway!

“This tunnel is very well-hidden. I wouldn’t have been able to find it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.” Little Phoenix chattered with Feng Wu in excitement. “You don’t say. Lord Jing really knows his stuff.”

Feng Wu asked curiously, “Where does it lead to?”

Little Phoenix shook its head. “I’m following him now. I’d like to see where this passageway leads to.”

About five minutes later.

“Holy crap!”

Little Phoenix’s surprised voice rang out in Feng Wu’s head. “I finally know where this tunnel leads to.”

Feng Wu asked, “Is it Night Owl’s manor?”

Little Phoenix said, “How did you know that?”

Feng Wu said, “I remember Night Owl said that he didn’t want the Dongsang

King to know about his relationship with Lord Jing. However, Lord Jing and

Night Owl are very close, so there should be a secret passageway.”

Little Phoenix said, “Yes. Lord Jing has gone up there and is sitting with Night

Owl in a secret tea room. I think they’re going to discuss how to kill Princess

Yan Ling now.”

Feng Wu said, “Listen carefully, then.”

Little Phoenix said, “Don’t worry. I love to hear other people’s secrets.”

Lord Jin and Night Owl sat opposite each other at the tea table, but they had no idea that a bird was staring at them curiously.

Night Owl asked, “Have you reached an agreement with that lousy princess?”

Lord Jing shook his head and told Night Owl what happened in the princess’s residence.

“Listen to her? Even when I take the throne?” Night Owl smirked. “Does she mean that we’re going to be her servants? Puppets?”

Lord Jin nodded. “But she’ll help you win the throne.”

Night Owl smirked. “I don’t need her help! The throne is mine!”

Lord Jing said, “But His Majesty is still in good health.”

Night Owl clenched his fists and stared at Lord Jing. “I want them dead!”

Lord Jing asked, ‘What?”

Night Owl said, “Can’t we kill Princess Yan Ling and that old bastard?”

Lord Jing suddenly nodded. “It’s doable.”

Night Owl stared at him in disbelief. “What did you say?”

Lord Jing stared at Night Owl. “I think it’s doable.”

Night Owl looked up and let out a breath of relief when he saw that no one was around. He stared at Lord Jing and leaned forward. “You were only joking, weren’t you?”

Lord Jing stared at Night Owl. “What do you think?”

Night Owl was elated.

Growing up, other people only called him smart, and even Mr. Sakiya often praised him. What they didn’t know was that Lord Jing would often come here in the middle of the night to tutor him and teach him a lot of things. That was why he was so smart.

Therefore, to Night Owl, Mr. Sakiya was only sent by the Dongsang Kingdom to keep an eye on him, and Lord Jing was the father he had trusted since he was little.

“Father!”

Night Owl cried out, “So, can we do it? But if Princess Yan Ling dies, won’t Dayan take revenge?”

Lord Jing said, “So, we’re going to kill her with a borrowed knife.

“Princess Yan Ling can die, but it has to be the Dongsang King’s doing. That way, if the Empire of Dayan wants to take revenge, it’ll be targeting that old man. He’ll pay with his own life, and you’ll inherit the throne.

“Therefore, you don’t have to do anything. All you need to do is sit there and wait to inherit the throne.

“When that happens, you can marry whomever you want, and no one can interfere.”

“Yes!” Night Owl nodded. “So, what should we do?”

“How about…’

To other people, they were uncle and nephew, but in fact, they were father and son. They were discussing in low voices.

What they didn’t know was that Feng Wu had heard everything they said.

Feng Wu listened carefully and heard every word.

“So, that’s what Lord Jing is planning…” Feng Wu nodded inwardly. “He’s so malicious. Although, Night Owl was the one who came up with the idea.

However, it was a dog-eat-dog thing, and Feng Wu could just stand there and watch.

Lord Jing only went back after they were done discussing the details.

“Jing Wei.” Lord Jing stared at Feng Wu. “I need you to do something very difficult.”

Feng Wu said, “Yes, my lord.”

Lord Jing enunciated each word.

Feng Wu said, “But Princess Yan Ling has such a capable man with her. I’m afraid…

Lord Jing smirked. “Don’t worry. Someone will stall him! All you need to do is take Princess Yan Ling away. You won’t need to do anything else!”

Feng Wu nodded.

She felt sorry for Princess Yan Ling.

If Princess Yan Ling had listened to Ma Quanquan, Lord Jing’s plan wouldn’t have succeeded.

Lord Jing had been waiting for his chance.

During that time…

Princess Yan Ling flared up again.

“What? He sent someone to the Junwu Empire to propose a marriage? Has he lost his mind?!”

Princess Yan Ling was well-informed and soon learned that Mr. Sakiya had gone to the Junwu Empire. She smirked and said, “Night Owl is nothing! He’s not good enough for me! He doesn’t get to say no!

“He’s just a dog.. Why would I marry him? Don’t make me laugh!

“But why should he fall in love with someone else when I don’t even like him?

“And there’s Feng Wu!”

Princess Yan Ling turned to Ma Quanquan. “Uncle Ma, kill her! ”

Ma Quanquan frowned. “Princess…”

Princess Yan Ling said, “I don’t want to see her alive again! If she’s alive, it’ll affect my mood, and I won’t be able to focus on my cultivation! Uncle Ma, that’s why I haven’t been able to cultivate recently!”

Princess Yan Ling looked into Ma Quanquan’s eyes. “Uncle Ma, please kill her for me and remove her from this world.”

Ma Quanquan frowned. “Princess…”

Princess Yan Ling said, “Uncle Ma, there’s Her Majesty the empress dowager and the imperial princess above me in the Dayan, and my life is so depressing. Can’t I do whatever I want on this continent? Do I have to follow other people’s orders? Uncle…

Ma Quanquan said, “Feng Wu isn’t capable enough, so it’ll be very easy to get rid of her, but that master…

Princess Yan Ling said, “Just lure her out of the imperial capital. I thought that powerful cultivator couldn’t leave the imperial capital. If he could, Huyan wouldn’t have gone to save them! And there’s her family. Apart from Lady Xuanji, kill everyone else.”

Ma Quanquan finally agreed. “Princess, you need to work on your cultivation and reach the Spiritual Saint stage as soon as possible. You’re so close.”

Princess Yan Ling smiled. “Of course! Please wait seven days. I’ll become a Spiritual Saint in seven days!”

Feng Wu didn’t know what was going on with Princess Yan Ling. If she did, Princess Yan Ling would be in a much worse state.

Lord Jing had been waiting for an opportunity, but to his surprise, he received news that Ma Quanquan had left Donglin City.

“Really?!”
