High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 212 - 133: Prince’s Invitation (Double - ) (2)
Leave her more room for thought.
To think about the next steps, in the future... the next move.
...
Liu Qingcheng witnessed the tragedy downstairs from the window of her room upstairs.
Her pupils contracted, and she hugged the white cat in her arms tightly, feeling incredibly fearful inside.
That was Uncle Wang Yang!
In the entire Zangfeng State, besides the Governor, there’s Uncle Wang Yang, whose status, power, and prestige are even the greatest.
The King Jingnan, who has long been neglectful of affairs and retains no military power, was simply not noticed by anyone.
Everyone said that King Jingnan was old and was just a lecherous and weak old man.
But at this moment, the Death Warrior had already declared with a sword and a token.
To everyone that the truth was not so.
King Jingnan was the slumbering lion.
And now, he had opened his eyes, once more baring his maw of fierce teeth and fangs, biting off Uncle Wang Yang’s head!
And Uncle Wang Yang, did nothing, except stand in front of him!
All the status, power, and prestige rolled with that fallen head to the ground, becoming bloody dust.
No matter how arrogant Liu Qingcheng appeared, she was merely an ordinary woman, made of flesh and blood, naturally fearful.
Frankly, that arrogance was merely her protective color.
And Xuni Pavilion also because she did so, ended up being more pursued, only permitted for that reason.
She knew that by doing this, she wouldn’t put herself in danger, allowing her to not feign respect for those dignitaries.
But now, Xuni Pavilion had completely lost its role as an umbrella.
Even if Uncle Wang Yang exerted pressure, it could make Xuni Pavilion teeter on the brink.
Not to mention being able to casually kill Uncle Wang Yang like Wen Chi.
Liu Qingcheng couldn’t help but tremble.
She suddenly realized that she might be doomed to disaster....
Wen Chi wants the Glazed Shadow Lamp.
But she can’t produce it because that lamp was already given to Chen Kuang this afternoon.
How could such a coincidental thing happen?
The reason she gave the Glazed Shadow Lamp was that it was the only wondrous Spiritual Treasure she could present, while other cultivators, even giving gifts, wouldn’t give too strong wondrous Spiritual Treasures, they’re at most quirky trinkets to amuse people.
But the Glazed Shadow Lamp was truly valuable wondrous Spiritual Treasure.
Even if Liu Qingcheng was merely an ordinary person, she could understand the value of this item.
Therefore, she chose the Glazed Shadow Lamp as a gift of apology to showcase her sincerity.
But now, just after she sent this lamp away, people from the Prince’s Mansion came, openly demanding its return.
This was a very unusual event!
Over the years, King Jingnan indulged in lust and befriended scholars, and had given away many treasures, but had never spoken of reclaiming them.
Such behavior not only lowers status but also smacks of being exasperated, with dignity swept away.
If it were sheer annoyance at Liu Qingcheng’s disregard, this reaction wouldn’t be fitting; it shouldn’t be demanded back...
This simply wasn’t King Jingnan’s character!
At this moment,
Liu Qingcheng even thought that King Jingnan might be doing it deliberately.
"No, no... it’s intentional!"
Liu Qingcheng took a deep breath, still unable to restrain her emotions, a chill emerging from her heart.
She was not foolish, and immediately figured out why. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
If Prince Jing’an was intentional, then reclaiming the Glazed Shadow Lamp had no simple purpose.
The lamp, she had given to Chen Kuang.
To want the lamp returned, Chen Kuang must be made to appear first.
And if she couldn’t retrieve it, she could imagine what the guy below, killing like mowing grass, would do...
If she could give the lamp to the other party, it indicated their relationship was good, if Liu Qingcheng faced danger, it might force Chen Kuang out.
The other party’s goal isn’t the Glazed Shadow Lamp, nor Liu Qingcheng.
But the White Dragon True Monarch Chen Ruogu!
Liu Qingcheng took a deep breath.
Yes, only that mysterious and unpredictable White Dragon True Monarch could qualify for King Jingnan to sacrifice dignity for the scheme.
Since the true goal had been found.
Now Liu Qingcheng wants to protect herself, there’s only one way, and that’s to force out that White Dragon True Monarch, or... coax him out.
A brothel woman is nothing but a rootless duckweed.
She now has obtained the Cultivation Technique, and perhaps after today, Xuni Pavilion will not exist.
No need to wait for ransom, as long as she can seize the chance to escape today, then...
The sky is vast and limitless.
The ground floor is too quiet, Yu Xiangsi’s footsteps are clearly heard from downstairs.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Bit by bit approaching.
Each tap strikes inside Liu Qingcheng’s heart.
The woman lowered her eyes, stroked the white cat in her arms, opened the window beside, playfully, carefully letting the white cat out.
Yang Kingdom doesn’t have a trend for raising raccoons nor specialized merchants to tame them as pets.
Liu Qingcheng’s cat was picked up by her from a small alley on the roadside in the past.
Raised for years, still wild and hard to tame, only quiet and obedient in her arms, usually scaring her with daily catches of birds left beside her bedside cabinet.
Yet it’s ultimately a good cat that knows gratitude.
Liu Qingcheng patted the cat’s rear, murmuring softly, "Go... don’t come back after leaving this time, this isn’t home."
The white cat glanced back, then leaped, jumping onto the street below, ran off wildly.
Liu Qingcheng retrieved her gaze, closed the window.
She shut her eyes, called out:
"Elder Bailong?"
"Elder Bailong, are you there?"
Chen Kuang was, of course, there, he was in the room next door, concealing his aura, silently waiting.
When the Grandmaster appeared, Chen Kuang knew things were awry.
Under such circumstances, there’s no other possibility.
It’s definitely aimed at him!
And once the opponent mentioned wanting the Glazed Shadow Lamp, he immediately understood.
That lamp indeed had an issue!
His position and identity might have been exposed!
"Prince Jing’an, Wen Chi..."
Chen Kuang furrowed his brow, repeating the name in his heart, "Why this person? I’ve exposed no flaw anywhere, yet still been schemed against."
"This person is related to the Glazed Shadow Lamp, and can infer my presence here through it, then he should most likely know Su Yu now has become my shadow."
"Among those four potential people, if someone wants to kill me, then..."
Chen Kuang sank into gravity.
Then there’s only one possibility...
The former National Preceptor of Liang Kingdom, Jiang Wuya!
Thinking about this, Chen Kuang felt anger surge forth alongside deep frustration, feeling out of control.
He thought he had faked his death to escape, already evading the calculations of these big figures.
Unexpectedly, he merely jumped from one chessboard to another.
His every move still within others’ control.
From start to finish, never breaking free!
Chen Kuang exhaled a murky breath, thinking he could try to live quietly for a time, wait until he’s strong enough, head to Buddha’s Pure Land to avoid calamity, never to provoke these major figures, leaving their sight.
But he was wrong.
In this world, since awakening from the Celestial Prison, it’s been like duckweed shading the sun, pitch black with no path out!
Next door.
Liu Qingcheng’s voice comes, with relief: "Elder Bailong...if you hear, do not answer, leave quickly."
She softly said, "I can delay some time for you, you are highly skilled, should not be caught."
"If you’re already gone, best... actually the first time I saw you, I knew you weren’t a good person, looking at Xuni Pavilion’s situation, you should immediately know what happened."
"So...leave quickly, the farther the better."
Liu Qingcheng smiled briefly, stood up, took a deep breath, walked to the door, reached, and opened the door.
Chen Kuang sighed.
So it’s like this... all people controlled by circumstance.
She’s like this, I’m like this too...
But in this world, aside from compromise, there’s indeed another option!
