Feng Xi’s powder, colorless and odorless, was imperceptible.
Most people would have no way to dodge it.
However, Yu Xing already knew that this woman was skilled in poison. As she raised her hand, Yu Xing swept his long arm, using his internal energy to push back the invisible poisonous powder before him.
Feng Xi’s expression changed, and she immediately leaped up, sidestepping to avoid it.
“You!” Feng Xi’s face darkened with anger.
Yu Xing said expressionlessly, “A mere trick, and you dare to act presumptuously before me!”
Feng Ling had not expected Yu Xing to be so formidable.
The Four Killers by Prince Xuan’s side, who usually appeared ordinary, were all top-tier experts.
“Yu Xing!” Feng Ling stepped forward two paces, saying urgently, “She bullied me first…”
“How could a mere maid bully a lady like Feng Ling?” Yu Xing did not believe it.
“She tricked me, she…”
Feng Ling knew that anything she said now was useless. Rather than shifting blame, it was better to admit her mistake directly.
She continued forward, her face filled with anxiety, “Yu Xing, I know I was wrong. Please, don’t tell Ye Xuan about this. Ye Xuan will be angry.”
“Since I know about this, I must report it to the Prince, and to her as well!”
Yu Xing turned back, looking at Feng Xi, who stood by, afraid to speak.
She narrowed her eyes, “Who exactly are you? What is your purpose here?”
It was clear that she was not from Prince Xuan’s household.
Being so close to Feng Ling, could she be someone from the尊主 (Zun Zhu)?
No wonder she felt as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Feng Xi bit her lip and muttered reluctantly, “I just came to deliver medicine to my sister. How was I supposed to know I’d encounter something like this?”
She glanced at the corpse fluid on the ground, which was slowly drying, and stomped her foot in anger.
“I just arrived and hadn’t even seen what happened clearly when my sister asked me to dissolve the body. She is my sister, how could I not obey her?”
“I don’t care what you came for, nor what you did to help her. You can tell the Prince yourselves whatever you need to say.”
Yu Xing did not want to waste words with them, especially this young lady named Feng Xi.
She looked so young, and with a stomp of her foot and a pout, she seemed like an ignorant little girl.
But Yu Xing felt that this woman was very dangerous.
Her eyes appeared clear, yet they always held a sinister glint.
This room felt unsafe, and the matter had to be reported to the Prince as soon as possible.
After all, in this courtyard, besides herself who had tracked this woman in, there were no other companions.
Yu Xing turned and left.
Feng Ling tried to stop her again, but this time, Yu Xing casually swept a palm, pushing Feng Ling aside.
Feng Ling’s legs suddenly went weak, and with a thud, she fell to the ground, “Yu Xing…”
“I won’t fall for your act. Stop pretending before me.”
Yu Xing’s steps did not falter. In a blink, she opened the room door. m..oΓg
Feng Ling never expected her to be so unmoved by both threats and pleas!
She shouted angrily, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Ye Xuan your secret?”
Yu Xing’s footsteps finally paused.
But as she looked back at Feng Ling, her tone had changed to one of casual indifference, “As you wish.”
This so-called secret had made her life so tiring, so very tiring.
Especially after being blackmailed by Feng Ling last time, she felt even more that this secret was too heavy a burden for her.
Perhaps, revealing it wouldn’t be so bad.
If the Prince truly couldn’t tolerate her, then… could she go and seek refuge with Miss Chu?
