Chapter 1144 Unt.i.tled

“Is the broken star piece that important to you?” Feng Wu smiled bitterly when she heard the question.

Of course the broken star piece was important to her. It was more important than her life.

However, she couldn’t give him that answer.

Jun Linyuan’s eyes were so bright and piercing that she wouldn’t be able to keep any secrets from him.

Involuntarily, Feng Wu looked away, evading the searching look in his eyes.

“What do you need it for?” Jun Linyuan wasn’t going to go easy on Feng Wu.

His beautiful face was breathtaking, and when he leaned over, he was so close that Feng Wu could feel his hot breath on her face.

Feng Wu’s cheeks flushed and her ears heated up. She gave Jun Linyuan a little shove and glared at him. “Are you going to tell me or not?!”

Jun Linyuan looked slightly disappointed.

Intuition told him that it was a very important secret for her, but obviously, she wasn’t planning to share it with him.

Probably because she didn’t trust him enough yet… Deep down, the crown prince was a little upset.

Feng Wu glanced at the crown prince in bewilderment. The guy had looked normal just a moment ago; why did he have a gloomy look on his face all of a sudden?

The crown prince’s temper was so unpredictable.

Feng didn’t witness the whole thing, but he could sense the atmosphere in the carriage.

The old man shook his head with a wry smile. The crown prince usually never let his expression reveal anything, but around Feng Wu, his emotions were written all over his face.

Feng Wu poked him with a finger. “So, what’s the deal with this stone?” Just say something, please.

Jun Linyuan had lost interest altogether. Stuffing the stone back into Feng Wu’s hands, he crossed his hands behind his head and wouldn’t even look at her.

Feng Wu nudged Jun Linyuan, but no matter how hard she tried, the guy wouldn’t talk to her.

Just then, the sound of a galloping horse quickly approached them from behind. Hearing that, Jun Linyuan frowned a little, then sat back up and straightened his back.

A cold voice came from outside the carriage.

The owner of the voice then started a conversation with Feng.

The voice sent a chill down Feng Wu’s spine. How emotionless it sounded! She wondered who the man was.

Lifting the curtain up a little, she stole a peek outside. The man rode a big horse and was covered from head to toe in a black robe with a large bamboo rain hat on his head, giving him a mysterious and unapproachable look.

“His Majesty wants to see His Royal Highness. Now!”

The man showed Feng a token.

It was a color that Feng Wu had never seen before, but she could tell that the atmosphere had turned serious.

Involuntarily, she darted a glance at Jun Linyuan.

She then saw Jun Linyuan raise the curtain of the carriage as he prepared to leave.

“Jun Linyuan…” Feng Wu tugged at his sleeve and looked anxiously at him.

She wondered if Emperor Wu had heard about the incident with Old Master Xuanyuan, and she was worried that Jun Linyuan would be punished for it.

Although the teenager had always struck her as all-powerful, he was still just the crown prince, not the actual emperor.

He had crippled the head of an influential family for no obvious reason, and she couldn’t imagine how big an impact that would have. If the other influential families joined hands…

The more she thought about it, the more worried Feng Wu became. Distress was etched across her face.

Jun Linyuan looked back at her. From Feng Wu’s perspective, the straight line of his nose bridge was breathtaking.

He, on the other hand, found the earnest look on her face rather endearing.

“Silly girl.” Jun Linyuan looked up and rubbed her head. There was a tenderness in his voice that even he wasn’t aware of. “Have you forgotten who I am?”

He was Jun Linyuan, the omnipotent teenager.

Jun Linyuan left Feng with some instructions after he got out of the carriage. He then summoned his mount and rode off with the man in black.
