Chapter 17: I didn't mean to take advantage of him.
Su Fengling peeked out from upstairs, about to shout, when she saw this scene downstairs.
He quickly hid behind a pillar, wondering why she had come. Did she know his identity and come to interrogate him?
But even though she and her brother were so close, there wasn't a tense atmosphere. It was just that there was a barrier outside, so they couldn't hear what they were saying inside.
No, he can't go out. How can he explain it if he does? Besides, judging from her men's attire, she must have run away from the palace. I wonder what her purpose is.
He Yuhuan noticed someone upstairs looking over, and she glanced at them too, but didn't see anyone.
Zhongli Yueluo shifted her hand to support her chin, staring at Su Fengjun's handsome face as she continued to ask, "I heard that twins in your Wind Spirit Ghost Clan have special abilities: the older brother can become invisible at night, while the younger brother can transform into his true form as a fierce ghost during the day."
However, Zhongli Yueluo was unaware that the special skills of the twins of the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan were rarely passed on to outsiders.
Moreover, despite their low survival rate and differences in abilities, she was able to describe the two brothers' skills so accurately.
He swallowed hard, feeling that she was dangerous. This was their life-saving technique, yet she had so openly discussed it.
Zhongli Yueluo was still wondering if she had said something wrong, as he was looking at her so warily.
"I wonder where the princess learned this from?" He was beginning to suspect that someone within the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan might have leaked the information.
Zhongli Yueluo also realized that such a secret skill could not possibly be announced to the world so easily.
The fact that she could describe their skills so accurately suggests that her memories from her past life were preconceived!
He quickly explained, "It was mentioned in the marriage selection file. I was just curious and asked. Is it that amazing?"
It turned out he was just curious; his clenched fist loosened slightly. "Princess, there are some things you shouldn't be so curious about," he said, his tone laced with threat.
"Oh, our Taiyuan Prison lost an important prisoner yesterday. I heard from those people that he was struck down by an invisible force. I was thinking you might know about it."
The tone was questioning, but the eyes conveyed certainty.
Su Fengjun didn't know if she really knew or was testing him.
So the prisoner is important to her? But how could a prisoner who has been imprisoned for a thousand years be an important person to a princess?
"I don't understand why the princess is telling me all this." His eyes darted away.
"Don't understand? Sigh, I thought you would have some clues." She braced her hands on the table, bringing her face close to Su Fengjun's, trying to see through him. He stepped back, not daring to look at her.
"we do not have."
"Are you sure you don't know? I feel like your eyes are lying." Zhongli Yueluo was so close that her nose was almost touching his.
He pressed the hilt of his sword against her lower abdomen to support her and prevent her from losing her balance and falling forward again. A barely perceptible blush flashed across his face, but his ears, hidden by his hair, were already crimson.
"It's alright. Since Young Master Feng doesn't know, I won't ask. By the way, where is Young Master Ling?"
His eyes turned cold, and although he said he wouldn't ask, he was trying to find a flaw in his brother's story.
This woman is truly cunning, yet she possesses such an innocent and harmless face.
Looking back now, his brother smelled exactly like the girl.
Could it be that his younger brother came home so late last night because he accidentally went to the princess's courtyard?
No wonder she came straight to their Ghost Clan Inn today; it turns out she's got something on her hands.
So he was lying just now, and she was just laughing at him. He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions, and stared at Zhongli Yueluo.
"Young Master Feng, is that look on your face because you've remembered something?" Zhongli Yueluo smiled playfully, even reaching out to hook his chin with her finger.
Su Fengjun knocked her hand away with the hilt of his sword, but unexpectedly, the hilt loosened its grip on her lower abdomen, and Zhongli Yueluo, having no foothold, fell towards him again.
But Zhongli Yueluo had no intention of taking advantage of him. She quickly placed one hand on his shoulder and the other on his chest.
She twitched her fingers, and his face flushed. He grabbed Zhongli Yueluo's shoulders and helped her up, saying, "Princess!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She really didn't mean to.
Outside the barrier, Su Fengling shook his head; his older brother was just a blockhead.
They had such a good opportunity just now, but instead of getting intimate with the princess, the two brothers could have easily suppressed the Zheng clan!
This meant that their young lord from the Zhen clan had no chance to get close to the princess.
Don't think he doesn't know that the purpose of the young lord of the Zheng clan coming to choose a wife is to use the West Demon Mountain to expand the territory of their Zheng clan. Dream on!
"Alright, I know what I want. Feng Shaojun, please give my regards to Ling Shaojun."
Su Fengjun's expression was cold, but in reality, he was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to continue interacting with the princess, since both of them knew exactly what was going on.
"Princess, take care."
He Yuhuan didn't know what they were talking about, but she was happy to hear that they were leaving.
She disliked people staring at her master with covetous eyes; even if he hid behind a pillar, she could sense it.
With a snap of her fingers, the barrier disappeared. She looked up at the second floor and then at Zhongli Yueluo, but she didn't sense anything.
She was leaving, and Su Fengjun didn't try to stop her. She walked out like that, and Su Fengling watched them walk away before quietly calling out, "Brother."
"Get down." The voice was icy.
Su Fengling transformed into a wisp of smoke and appeared in front of him: "Brother, you simply don't understand women's hearts. You had such a good opportunity to increase your favor with the princess, but you pushed her away. What were you thinking?"
"Did you go to the princess's place last night?" His eyes were cold.
Seeing his serious expression, Su Fengling also dropped her smiling face: "I stumbled in by accident."
"You've given her leverage; it seems she came today for that woman."
"She did it for that woman?"
"And she knows our special skills very well."
Su Fengling's eyes also darkened. Logically speaking, only a few people in the Ghost Clan knew about their special skills, so how did this princess know about them?
Zhongli Yueluo and He Yuhuan walked outside. After walking for a while, Zhongli Yueluo asked He Yuhuan, "Yuhuan, did you sense any aura similar to mine inside?"
"It has your scent, and a scent similar to yours. Why are you asking this?"
"Was it because the aura emanating from that person was stronger, or...?"
"That man just now had a similar aura to yours, but it wasn't yours."
Hearing He Yuhuan say this, she became even more certain that her mother had been kidnapped by the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan, but what was their purpose in kidnapping her mother?
Or perhaps they also knew the secret, but why was the intelligence so accurate? And why did they manage to kidnap her mother so conveniently?
