Not only could Su Yingxue bring them along to hunt wild beasts, but she could also dash over and embrace Chu Yifeng, who emitted such a sinister aura.
Indeed, she was quite impressive!
Chu Yifeng clicked his tongue. âDonât you find yourself rather heavy?â
Could it be that his younger brother had devoted all his strength to hugging Su Yingxue?
Su Yingxue turned her head in confusion. She cupped Chu Yifengâs face and gently touched his forehead. âYour Highness, whatâs wrong? Normally, you would be displeased if I didnât embrace you.â
Chu Yifengâs lips curved into a faintly mocking arc. âIs that so?â
His brother, always wearing a cold expression, had such an unknown side to him.
Su Yingxue was on the verge of nodding in agreement, ready to respond with a resounding âYes!â
When she didnât hug Chu Yihan, Chu Yihan would subtly release a low pressure, making her realize her lack of closeness to him.
But nowâ¦
Seeing the mockery in Chu Yifengâs eyes, Su Yingxue immediately jumped down. She took three steps back and pointed warily at Chu Yifeng. âYouâre not Your Highness! Who are you?â
Chu Yifeng raised his lips. âYouâve been hugging me for so long, and now youâre just asking who I am? If your Your Highness found out, what would he think?â
For some reason, Su Yingxue felt that this person was very despicable. âIf Your Highness finds out, heâll probably kill you first.â
âIs that so?â Chu Yifeng burst into laughter.
âIgnore him. Let me check on your condition.â
Rong Sheng bypassed the somewhat crazed Chu Yifeng and walked up to Su Yingxue. Rong Sheng reached out her hand, gesturing for her to place her hand in her palm.
Su Yingxue was cautious of strangers.
But the beautiful woman in white before her didnât trigger any sense of danger. She instinctively reached out her hand.
Rong Sheng placed two fingers on Su Yingxueâs slender wrist and gently felt her pulse.
Her fingers were slender and fair like a work of art meticulously crafted by the heavens.
Slightly cool, yet radiating care.
Su Yingxue couldnât help but ask, âDo you know me?â
Rong Sheng nodded gently. âYes.â
This was their first encounter, yet she had already heard about her and envisioned her appearance more than once.
She bore an uncanny resemblance to her most admired senior sister, Long Shuli.
A bright and determined young woman.
After Rong Sheng checked Su Yingxueâs pulse, she was astounded to find her body in nearly pristine condition.
Considering she had been completely drained of blood by her mentor, Wu Dao, surviving was already miraculous. But now⦠she was recovering so well?
âYingxue, did your mother leave something for you?â Curiosity flickered across Rong Shengâs flawless visage.
Su Yingxue nodded. âYes.â
She refrained from mentioning Medicine King Valley, yet she felt no need to conceal it from the woman before her.
There was an undeniable sense of⦠connection.
Rong Sheng nodded. âThatâs not surprising. With access to your Senior Sisterâs medical laboratory, your recovery would be swift.â
âMedical⦠laboratory?â
Su Yingxue heard another unfamiliar term. She sensed it was related to her mother. This woman surely knew her mother.
She could not wait to ask, but she was even more curious about, âWho is he? Why do you resemble Your Highness so closely?â
The face that could make her mistake wasnât just a disguise.
But in this world, who could resemble Your Highness so closely?
Just as Chu Yifeng was about to tease her, Rong Sheng cut in directly, âHe is the elder brother of the Ninth Prince, Chu Yifeng.â
Su Yingxue was shocked.
Su Yingxueâs eyes widened. âIsnât he deceased?â
How could there be a resurrection?
âIf youâre not dead, why should I be?â Chu Yifeng chuckled, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
His mockery lent him an irresistible allure.
Su Yingxue was convinced she belonged to Chu Yihanâs lineage.
Rong Sheng intended to escort her back to the Silver Moon Pavilion and brief her on what lay ahead.
Behind Su Yingxue, Alt Jing timidly called out, âSister Yingxue! Weâ¦â
She was afraid that if Su Yingxue was taken away, they would be locked up here, forced to endure mutual slaughter just to survive.
However, Su Yingxue held Rong Shengâs hand and said, âRelease them, let them live their lives in peace.â
Rong Sheng wasnât one to be ruthless or extinguish humanity, but she looked towards Chu Yifeng. âThis is the domain of the East Pavilion Master, you should ask him.â
Following her gaze, Su Yingxueâs eyes landed on Chu Yifeng.
Chu Yifeng looked at her and smiled.
Su Yingxue found it difficult to conceal her disdain. âHeâs the East Pavilion Master? Why do I feel like itâs you?â
Chu Yifeng exuded a strong aura on his own, but standing beside Rong Sheng, he seemed somewhat weaker, almost as if he deferred to her authority.
