Chapter 4035: It Wasn t Night Light?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the next few days

Chu Tianxiao was going to see something amazing.

Of course, that hadnt happened yet.

Feng Wu followed Princess Yan Ling the whole time.

For some unknown reason, Princess Yan Ling had been treating Feng Wu much better recently. Instead, she had neglected s.h.i.+jian, who used to be her maid. Hence, Feng Wu could now see how things were going with her directing.

She realized that things had slowed down a little.

After Princess Yan Ling killed Night Light and flaunted her power in front of the Dongsang King, she was taken away by Ma Quanquan.

Feng Wu didnt know exactly what Ma Quanquan had taught her, but judging from how dispirited Princess Yan Ling was, she suppressed her arrogance.

She didnt even mention Night Light anymore.

Feng Wu thought to herself, That wont do.

She had come up with a series of traps. What was the point of sticking here? The death of Night Light wouldnt affect the Dongsang King at all, let alone the entire Dongsang Kingdom.

She had to keep it going until she got Lord Jing, Night Owl, and the Dongsang Kingdom involved. In the end, she might even get her third senior brother involved.

That way, she wouldnt have to look for her third senior brother and could just meet him.

At that thought, Feng Wu stole a glance at Princess Yan Ling.

Right now, Princess Yan Ling was reclining on a chaise lounge with a look of distaste on her face and a malicious look in her eyes every now and then.

Seeing that Feng Wu had come back with some refreshments, Princess Yan Ling glanced at Feng Wu and said coldly, Come here!

Feng Wu carefully walked up to her.

Staring at Feng Wu, Princess Yan Ling snorted. Do you know why I wanted to kill Night Light?

Feng Wu shook her head.

Princess Yan Ling then asked s.h.i.+jian, Do you know?

s.h.i.+jian was about to answer when Princess Yan Ling said indifferently, s.h.i.+jian, you were on duty outside that day. Tell me in detail. What happened three nights ago?

s.h.i.+jian dropped to his knees and looked fl.u.s.tered.

Seeing how fl.u.s.tered she was, Princess Yan Ling frowned. So, you know?

s.h.i.+jian shook her head. I dont know. I really dont

Princess Yan Ling said coldly, Since you know what happened that night, tell me the details. Dont worry. Not only wont I kill you, Ill also reward you. s.h.i.+jian shook her head.

Princess Yan Ling suddenly smiled. Havent you been trying to serve my brother? Hes been asking for you as well. Dont worry. If you help me this time, Ill take you to him. How does that sound?

s.h.i.+jian was elated. She almost asked, Princess, is that true? Luckily, she was able to control herself.

However, she couldnt hide her joy. Therefore, Feng Wu noticed the contemptuous look on Princess Yan Lings face.

However, s.h.i.+jian didnt see it because she had lowered her head.

s.h.i.+jian was about to speak when Feng Wu spoke first. Princess, I have a stomachache and really need to

Princess Yan Ling glanced at her and said indifferently, Alright. Go. Feng Wu left in a hurry.

Princess Yan Ling looked at the s.h.i.+jian and said indifferently, Good. Were alone now. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you say the wrong thing, I promise you that you wont be punished.

s.h.i.+jian looked at Princess Yan Ling in pleasant surprise. Princess, are you sure?

Princess Yan Ling said coldly, Of course, I am. Have I ever gone back on my words? Plus, my brother likes you so much. Why should I hurt you? Youll have to work for me after you become his concubine.

s.h.i.+jian liked the sound of that. After some thought, she said to Princess Yan Ling, Yuexin was on duty in the inner room that day, and I was on duty in the outer room.

Princess Yan Ling nodded.

She had asked s.h.i.+jian before, but the girl wouldnt say anything and only said that she didnt know. Now that Yan Ling had promised to give s.h.i.+jian to her brother, s.h.i.+jian could finally tell the truth.

s.h.i.+jian searched her memory. I didnt know what happened in the room, but I saw a figure come back with a sack.

A ferocious look flickered in Princess Yan Lings eyes!

Apart from herself, who else could it be?

Princess Yan Ling stared at s.h.i.+jian. Then?!

s.h.i.+jian said in a trembling voice, Then I didnt think much of it. I only thought that the person who came back with the sack looked familiar, but I was scared so I didnt tell anyone.

Princess Yan Ling gritted her teeth. Why didnt you tell anyone?!

s.h.i.+jian said, If if that person went out with a sack over his shoulder, I

wouldnt have kept my silence, but that person came in with something over his shoulder So I thought that since it wasnt stealing, I might as well keep it to myself.

But the next day, Sister Yuexin s.h.i.+jian took a deep breath. I was so scared that I didnt dare to say a word So, I lied to you when you asked me the first time.

Princess Yan Ling was secretly frustrated.

However, in order to force more truth out of s.h.i.+jian, Princess Yan Ling fought back her rage and stared at the latter.

Didnt you say that the man with the sack looked familiar? Who was he? That person was the key!

Princess Yan Ling thought to herself, That person should be on Night Lights side.

If that was the case, she would be able to charge Night Light with kidnapping. That way, the Dongsang King wouldnt have anything to say. At that thought, the listless Princess Yan Ling immediately cheered up.

Although I still dont know who he is, Im good at drawing. I can draw a portrait of him.

Princess Yan Ling said, Do it!

She had to have some talent to work for Princess Yan Ling.

In less than five minutes, s.h.i.+jian had drawn the painting and presented it to Princess Yan Ling.

Princess Yan Ling narrowed her eyes when she saw the painting.

That man

Even she found him familiar, let alone the s.h.i.+jian.

However, she couldnt remember who it was.

Who was he?

Where had she met him before?

Crossing her hands behind her back, Princess Yan Ling frowned and walked back and forth into the room.

Princess Yan Lings eyes suddenly lit up!

She had indeed met him in Night Owls manor.

It was him!

Princess Yan Ling immediately locked onto a person.

Hes a guard of the Jing Manor Lord Jing has been taking around. Princess Yan Ling gritted her teeth and stared at the s.h.i.+jian. Are you sure hes the one who brought me back?!

s.h.i.+jian said in tears, Princess, Im telling the truth! Im telling the truth!

Princess Yan Ling frowned. Its dark and windy, and everyone has to cover their faces when they commit crimes. Why would someone show their face?

s.h.i.+jian said, Princess, the person indeed had a black scarf over his face, but Master Ma arrived in time, and that man panicked. When he jumped over a tree branch, he accidentally lifted the scarf, so I saw his face.

What a coincidence. Princess Yan Ling frowned.

Seeing that Princess Yan Ling was suspicious, s.h.i.+jian burst into tears. Princess, Im telling the truth.

Princess Yan Ling was neither angry nor anxious. She only said indifferently, I hope thats the case as well. If you can prove that youre telling the truth, Ill reward you.

s.h.i.+jian said, I still remember which tree. Shall I show you there? Maybe I can detect something on that branch. Princess Yan Ling said, Lead the way.

Soon, s.h.i.+jian led Princess Yan Ling to an old tree that was so thick that ten people could wrap their arms around it.

Princess, its this tree, s.h.i.+jian said matter-of-factly.

Princess Yan Ling examined the tree carefully. At first, she couldnt find anything, but soon, she spotted a footprint.

It was a mans footprint.

Wait a minute..
