Chapter 68: Soaring Dragons and Roaring Tigers
master it.The embroiderer left when the sky darkened but instead of being stunned anymore, she felt humbled. She probably never imagined that someone who was rumoured for being a slacker and illitera...Chapter 68: Dragon Soaring, Tiger Roaring
Nan Lingrui slowly appeared before the Lan family's main gate under everyone's gaze.
In a brocade robe and jade belt, he looked elegant and handsome. His back was carrying a bundle of thorns, but it did not detract from his demeanor at all.
Yun Qianyue watched Nan Lingrui, originally thinking that this brother would give her some leeway; however, now she could see the thorns tightly against his back with no mercy given. Although they were far apart, she could still clearly see the blood from the thorns dripping down his body and staining his clothes, then dropping to the ground, creating a line of red on the bluestone bricks as he walked.
He accepted everyone's gaze calmly.
Yun Qianyue heard the gasps of some young ladies around her; she slightly raised an eyebrow. Nan Lingrui hadn't defiled Lan Yi, but was willing to take on this blame for her today. No matter how angry Lan Yi was from being toyed with by Yun Qianyue, it couldn’t match what a prince would do to show his respect in front of her! Women's hearts were the softest; she just had to see if Lan Yi’s heart could harden or soften.
"This must be Prince Rui. He is different from what I heard!" A young lady whispered softly.
"Yes, he is indeed different! Such a handsome man…" another young lady blushed and spoke dreamily.
"If he dies today, it would be such a pity." Another young lady said.
"It would definitely be a great loss..."
...
The conversation turned from Nan Lingrui’s disdain to concern for his safety as he faced the perilous array of dangers.
"Brother seems to truly like Lan Yi." Yun Qianyue whispered into Rong Jing's ear, lowering her voice.
Rong Jing slightly curled his lips with a hint of amusement in his tone, "Marriage comes with its price. After bringing her home, he can assert himself later. What do you think is more worthwhile: enduring hardships now or maintaining authority for decades to come"
Yun Qianyue was speechless; she turned around in anger. This heartless fox!
"Eh Who's that woman" A young lady suddenly called out softly.
"Oh, how beautiful!" Another young lady also exclaimed softly.
"She must be the woman Prince Rui brought along; she’s walking behind him." Yet another young lady said.
"That should be right…" One of the ladies responded.
...
The topic shifted from Nan Lingrui to the woman who appeared behind him.
Yun Qianyue saw that woman too; she nearly jumped up in shock. She couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at that woman's face. Although it was a distance from Guanxing Pavilion to the main gate, she could still see clearly. Even after a month, there was no way she would forget this woman! Especially since Yun Qianyue had an uncanny ability to remember faces.
How did Luo Yao end up here and why is she following Nan Lingrui
A huge question mark filled her mind; Yun Qianyue withdrew her gaze, turning to look at Rong Jing.
Rong Jing seemed surprised as well, but his surprise was short-lived. Calmly withdrawing his gaze, he leaned over and whispered to Yun Qianyue, "Let's see first!"
Yun Qianyue nodded, her composure returning. Recalling Nan Lingrui’s mention of picking up a celestial beauty mid-journey yesterday, she had laughed at him back then; now, she couldn’t even laugh anymore. What exactly was going on Did Nan Lingrui not know that she, Luo Yao, was the princess betrothed to Rong Jing
Linglian and Yixue behind her drew in a sharp breath; they had accompanied Yun Qianyue to River Valley County, naturally recognizing Luo Yao.
"Indeed, the Prince of Nan Liang is unmatched for his charm. He even brings along a beauty while atoning with thorns!" Night Tianyi chuckled, his laughter clear and carrying a hint of depth.
When he finished speaking, the chattering girls fell silent and no one made a sound.
"Even if this Prince Rui manages to pass through the Dragon Den Tiger Cave Formation, it’s still unreliable! Having such a beautiful woman by his side would surely put Sister Lan Yi at a disadvantage," Cang Ting also chuckled.
After their words fell silent, everyone was speculating about that woman's identity.
"Master Lan has arrived!" A shout came from not too far away at this moment.
The crowd turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw Lan Yi being escorted by a group of people as she slowly walked out of the inner courtyard. She was wearing an elegant dress, somewhat loose-fitting rather than formfitting, seemingly intentionally寬鬆以看不出她腹部的變化,但毋庸置疑她是美人,無論是眉眼還是容貌,在場十大世家無數貌美如花的女子中,她無疑出類拔萃。" translate to "She is undoubtedly a beauty; whether it's her eyebrows or her looks, among the countless beautiful ladies from the ten great families present, she stands out as the best."
Her steps were extremely steady and her beautiful face looked calm. She walked gracefully with a unique charm.
Hua Ming and Lan Hui followed behind her, along with several other women, obviously all of them being part of the Lan family.
In no time, Lan Yi reached the steps leading to the Star Observation Pavilion and started climbing up.
"Beautiful Lady Lan Yi!" Nan Lingrui also circled around the front courtyard at this moment and greeted her with a smile when he saw her.
Lan Yi paused in her step, slowly turned her head towards Nan Lingrui. Seeing that his brocade robe was stained mostly red with blood, her calm expression seemed to flicker slightly. Soon she noticed Luo Yao following behind him and her face grew cold for a moment. She then turned back around without looking at Nan Lingrui again and continued climbing the steps.
"Beautiful Lady Lan Yi is so heartless!" Nan Lingrui said softly.
Lan Yi seemed to ignore him as if she hadn’t heard. Hua Ming and Lan Hui following her behind appeared startled when they saw Nan Lingrui's red blood dripping down along the waistband of his clothes, surprised by both the horror and yet impressed by how he remained handsome and conversational despite it all. Then seeing Luo Yao following closely behind him, their faces showed indignation but none of them said anything as harsh as earlier on the Star Observation Pavilion. They could not say much about this Nan Lingrui.
"All are here to support my princehood today, and I am extremely honored!" Nan Lingrui looked up at the Star Observation Pavilion and suddenly smiled widely, greeting out loud: "Seventh Prince, Young Master Ran! We meet again!"
"Prince Rui is so leisurely," Ye Tianyi waved a smile, looking behind him with deep meaning.
"Nan Lingrui, I thought you had changed your ways of eating ** like a dog. But it turns out you haven’t!" Night Qingran also glanced at the Luo Yao following behind him and snorted indolently: "Bringing a beauty here but wanting to take one back Or trading one for another Taking away one while leaving another In my view, the lady behind you is more beautiful than Master Lan!"
"Sigh, who told me I am so charming and handsome Heavenly beauties are smitten with me; it’s hard to refuse. Wounding a beauty’s heart isn’t something I can do," Nan Lingrui sighed and shook his head.
"Prince Rui, your words seem strange. You don't hurt the ladies' hearts but how did you end up hurting Master Lan's heart Otherwise, why would there be this scene of making amends" Ye Tianyi chuckled and asked.
"How could that be compared I treat Beautiful Lady Lan Yi as family! As for other beauties, they're merely flowers beyond reach," Nan Lingrui smiled nonchalantly. Seeing Lan Yi walk directly up to the Star Observation Pavilion without giving him a second look, he retracted his smile and looked resentful: "Beautiful Lady Lan Yi, are you satisfied with my humble atonement today I calculated that from carrying this cane on my back until now, it must have pierced countless places on my skin. The blood has flowed more than one catty."
"What if I say I’m not satisfied" Lan Yi suddenly turned around and stared straight at Nan Lingrui.
"Not satisfied" Nan Lingrui blinked.
"Then I want you to walk back from the front gate again," Lan Yi said each word clearly.
"Beautiful Lady Lan Yi, you really don’t care about me at all," Nan Lingrui sighed softly.
“You’re unwilling” Lan Yi raised her eyebrows.
"Willing! How could I be unwilling Wait and see, I’ll do it again. You didn’t notice just now; this time you can take a good look," Nan Lingrui answered promptly with no lessening of his smile. After speaking, he turned around while still carrying the cane.
Seeing Nan Lingrui turn, Luo Yao glanced at Lan Yi and followed him as well. Although she was wearing a plain gauze dress rather than the magnificent princess attire that Yun Qianyue had seen her in on that day, it did not diminish her noble and graceful demeanor. That kind of innate nobility could not be compared even to the daughters from hundreds-year-old aristocratic families who were well-fed and nurtured. Lan Yi still fell short when it came to the inherent nobility.
Lan Yi's move surprised everyone, as they all knew how difficult it was for Nan Lingrui to walk with these thick bundles of canes on his back, even in a brocade robe—the thorns were too sharp and easy to pierce through the fabric. Judging from the blood trail, he must be covered in wounds by now. Moreover, every step caused him excruciating pain as the cane pierced into and out of his flesh. It was already hard enough for him to walk from Feng Family to Lan Family’s front gate and then up to the Star Observation Pavilion; it would be even more challenging to do it again.
Especially since he still had to pass through the Dragon Den Tiger Cave Formation behind.
At this moment, everyone on the Observation Tower was watching Nan Lingrui and Luo Yao return without a word.
Yun Qianyue clearly saw Lan Yi seem surprised for a moment. Obviously, she hadn’t expected him to agree so readily despite her harsh treatment, but after just that brief surprise, her expression returned to calm as she turned around and continued climbing the steps. In no time at all, she was back on top of the Observation Tower.
"President Lan is truly impressive!" Ye Qingran praised first.
"Prince Xiao Ran overestimates me!" Lan Yi looked at Ye Qingran and replied calmly.
“This person should be dealt with this way, it’s perfect! This small prince has wanted to deal with him for a long time but had no opportunity. Today, President Lan dealing with him in this manner makes my heart feel much better!” Ye Qingran smiled deeply; both his words and expression showed that he was very pleased.
“I merely reclaimed what he added on me. It’s not about dealing with him.” Lan Yi shook her head.
"This is how it should be, after all, President Lan has his blood inside her." Ye Qingran nodded and smiled, appearing friendly and amiable.
Lan Yi's expression changed slightly for a moment as she lowered her head, her voice suddenly softer. "It’s making everyone laugh at me! Your words truly make me feel very ashamed.”
“Why are you feeling ashamed It’s not your fault, the one who should be ashamed is Nan Lingrui.” Ye Qingran waved his hand and suddenly turned to Yun Shallow Moon who hadn’t spoken since. "Right Lady Chu"
Yun Qianyue thought Ye Qingran's words were interesting. Clearly, he knew that Lan Yi had not been tainted by Nan Lingrui. While these words clearly criticized Nan Lingrui openly, only the actual person involved—Lan Yi—would understand their deeper meaning. She smiled and said coolly, "Yes, Prince Xiao Ran is right. The one who should be ashamed is the Crown Prince of Southern Liang. President Lan has suffered greatly from him; she should have accepted any unreasonable demands made by the Crown Prince."
She deliberately emphasized the word 'unreasonable', and indeed saw Lan Yi's eyelashes tremble slightly.
"You truly are Lady Chu’s perspective! When this small prince first met Lady Chu, I nearly mistook her for an old acquaintance. Now, I feel even closer to Lady Chu upon our meeting." Ye Qingran smiled as he said this.
Yun Qianyue gave a faint smile without responding.
The atmosphere on the Observation Tower was momentarily oddly quiet.
"This is Lady Chu, isn’t it Lan Yi greets you!" Lan Yi looked at Yun Shallow Moon and sized her up carefully.
Yun Qianyue met Lan Yi's gaze; her eyes were as clear as a lake. "President Lan greets you."
"Since Brother Chu started taking over the Chu Clan, he’s returned to the Chu residence very few times each year and I rarely see him. Now that he has returned with his wife, it is quite unexpected." Lan Yi turned her attention to Rong Jing.
Rong Jing raised an eyebrow, speaking in a lackluster tone. "My wife doesn’t like ostentation; hence, I let her be."
"Brother Chu treats his wife so well!" Lan Yi glanced at the women following her—Hua Ming and Lan Hui—and said playfully: "You’ve truly broken many sisters’ hearts now!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Ming and the rest all displayed sorrowful expressions.
"The Crown Prince of Southern Liang is a reformed rogue—priceless. Now willing to bear responsibility for the Chu Clan’s master by risking his life in battle arrays, it shows that he pities President Lan no less than my husband does. President Lan shouldn’t only see others’ happiness and not her own." Yun Shallow Moon glanced at those women behind Lan Yi with a gaze that was neither cold nor harsh but made them feel a chill; she then looked towards Nan Lingrui, who was heading for the door: "The blood he shed is genuine!"
Lan Yi’s expression flickered slightly but quickly settled as she looked directly at Yun Shallow Moon. "How can Prince Nan Rui of Southern Liang be compared to Brother Chu"
"Why not compare them" Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow.
“The Crown Prince of Southern Liang is licentious, while Brother Chu keeps himself pure and untainted.” Lan Yi replied. "Lady Chu wasn’t mistreated; naturally she would say this! I don't believe if you were treated badly, you could still say he's your happiness."
Yun Qianyue suddenly laughed coldly and self-controlled, her tone calm: "How much does President Lan know about the Crown Prince of Southern Liang And how much does she know about my husband What is mistreatment Does the Chu Clan’s master have a deep understanding of these two words If not, I advise him to be more careful with his choice of words."
"Of course I understand! Do you think this small prince doesn’t even know what those words mean" Lan Yi pursed her lips and her voice lowered.
“If President Lan understands, why do I need to repeat myself Time will reveal all things; right and wrong have their reasons.” Yun Qianyue gave a cool smile, her tone slightly cold: “A single heart full of love is not too much. Acknowledging one’s mistakes can also be admirable. How many people possess such integrity From an outsider's perspective, I would like to advise President Lan once. When flowers bloom, pick them; don’t wait until they’re gone and regret it. Having someone who loves you is a happy thing. Don't be too strict or you might lose your happiness. No amount of gold or land can restore what’s lost.”
Blue Ripple was taken aback and opened her mouth, only to meet Yun Qianmo's calm gaze. Suddenly, she found herself at a loss for words.
Yun Qianmo believed that Chu Madam understood this remark well. After all, Nan Lingrui hadn't truly harmed her but was willing to shoulder the responsibility of atoning.
"Indeed, it's no wonder you're the Red Pavilion Lady-in-Waiting! But hasn't Chu Madam forgotten the logic behind forcibly taking someone and doing evil It is well known that the Crown Prince of Southern Liang is a philanderer. The person Chu Madam encountered was the head of the Chu family rather than the Crown Prince of Southern Liang. Isn’t it somewhat presumptuous to talk from a position without experiencing it Don't impose your thoughts on others," Cang Ting's voice suddenly rang out.
"A prodigal son is worth his weight in gold when he reforms. According to Young Master Cang, one no longer has the chance to reform according to your knowledge" Yun Qianmo coldly looked at Cang Ting.
"Reform How well does Chu Madam know the Crown Prince of Southern Liang" Cang Ting sneered, "Everyone knows that the Crown Prince of Southern Liang is a playboy. Although he dismissed three thousand women from his harem, he hasn't reformed. He even brought a beautiful woman with him when atoning for his sins today. If you believe he can reform, it would be better to believe in the red rain covering the whole world."
"He is my brother. Young Master Cang, how well do I know him" Yun Qianmo raised her eyebrows indifferently.
This statement was so calm but like a thunderbolt, it instantly exploded in everyone's hearts. All those who heard it on the Observation Star Platform couldn't believe their ears. This shock wasn't inferior to yesterday when they suddenly learned that the Red Pavilion Lady-in-Waiting was the wife of the head of the Chu family.
The crowd seemed stunned, and Chu Madam said he was her brother What did it mean The Red Pavilion Lady-in-Waiting is a person from Southern Liang.
"Madam Chu makes quite a joke!" Cang Ting suddenly smiled, "Although there are many princesses in Southern Liang, I haven't heard of such a princess as Madam Chu."
"Young Master Cang, do you suffer from tinnitus Must the brother be blood-related An elder brother can also be called a brother. A sworn brotherhood is also considered a brother. And an in-law can also be a brother," Yun Qianmo said coolly.
Cang Ting was stunned.
The crowd's shocked minds were pulled back slightly, but they were still amazed by the relationship between him and the Crown Prince of Southern Liang.
Yun Qianmo didn't speak anymore. Her gaze turned to Nan Lingrui’s direction as he walked towards the front door, slowly turning around to return. Lu Yao followed closely behind him without any action, but their figures seemed oddly harmonious together. She actually saw harmony... she felt like laughing in her heart.
"This prince is also curious! If Madam Chu said so, then the Crown Prince of Southern Liang Nan Lingrui would be Madam Chu’s elder brother Or a sworn brotherhood Or an uncle or cousin-in-law" Ye Tianyi's gaze turned slightly sharp and he looked at Yun Qianmo.
"I’m sorry, this is my personal matter," Yun Qianmo didn't look at Ye Tianyi but calmly rebutted.
"Then this is another strange event of the year!" Ye Tianyi didn’t糾纏, his gaze fell on Rong Jing and he smiled. "The wife of the head of the Chu family is Lady-in-Waiting of Red Pavilion, and Lady-in-Waiting of Red Pavilion and Nan Lingrui, the Crown Prince of Southern Liang are siblings. If this is true, doesn't it mean that the Chu family and Red Pavilion have become the left and right arms of the Crown Prince"
"Young Seventh Prince is indeed smart!" Rong Jing praised with a faint tone, but there was some depth in his praise.
Ye Tianyi's expression turned cold. "The Crown Prince truly has blessings! With such capable sister and brother-in-law like the head of Chu family and Lady-in-Waiting of Red Pavilion by his side, he surely can pass through today’s Dragon Den Tiger Mouth Formation unscathed."
"My brother doesn't need help!" Yun Qianmo answered coolly. Then she turned her gaze to Blue Ripple with a slight shift in tone and suddenly smiled, "If it weren’t for my brother's liking towards Pavilion Lord Blue, I actually wouldn’t hope Pavilion Lord Blue would be my sister-in-law."
Blue Ripple who had been slightly lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking about, suddenly lifted her head to look at Yun Qianmo.
"Pavilion Lord Blue is surprised by this" Yun Qianmo looked at Blue Ripple with a calm and rational gaze. "My brother has an easy-going personality and likes to do as he pleases. I hope that the woman he chooses would be someone who shares his nature or, if not, at least understands him." With these words, she shook her head towards Blue Ripple, "Pavilion Lord Blue doesn't fit my image of a sister-in-law."
Blue Ripple's lips were tightly pressed together. "Madam Chu is really good at psychological tactics,"
"I hope Pavilion Lord Blue won’t be too clever and harm oneself by being too crafty," Yun Qianmo said, feeling that her words had some effect on Blue Ripple’s thoughts. She planned to stop speaking.
"Madam Chu is indeed formidable! Not only in martial arts but also with words. It reminds me of someone." Cang Ting took up the conversation when Yun Qianmo didn't speak. Seeing she remained silent, he looked straight at her, "Does Madam Chu know Miss Shallow Moon from Cloud Manor"
"With Young Master Cang saying this, I also feel like it's familiar. Madam Chu and Yueer indeed look alike," Ye Tianyi also gazed at Yun Qianmo with deep eyes.
Yun Qianmo’s heart tightened but she didn't show any change on her face as she coolly replied, "Miss Shallow Moon from Cloud Manor I have long heard of her. It's not just that I’ve heard of her; it has been like thunder in my ears. To say I know her is inaccurate, but I’m clear about her affairs."
"Oh Madam Chu knows the matters regarding Miss Shallow Moon from Cloud Manor very clearly" Cang Ting raised his eyebrows.
Everyone also looked at her.
"Of course, not only her matters, but I am clear about everyone's affairs here." Yun Qianyue laughed, "My Red Pavilion isn't just for decoration!"
The hearts of the crowd turned cold simultaneously, but then they eased up. The Red Pavilion’s power spanned across the world and was so secretive that not even a drop of water could slip through it. It was said that the Red Pavilion collected secrets from all over the world, and nothing escaped their grasp. But the Red Pavilion had never leaked any secrets to others, causing many people who wanted to buy them to struggle in finding ways to do so. Even when the current emperor ascended to the throne and tried to eliminate the Red Pavilion, he was unable to find a way to do it. As such, the Red Pavilion has continued to exist until today. Although they were not within the sight of ordinary people, they had never been forgotten by them. Just like the Ink Pavilion.
No one in the Observation Star Tower spoke again, and the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.
Yun Qianyue was calm as usual. Since she exposed the Red Pavilion to the world now, there was no need for her to hide anymore. By making public her relationship with Nan Lingrui, it was also a way of telling those who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him that they should think carefully about their actions. She might not stop them at the moment, but if something truly happened, she would definitely not stand by and watch.
"Lady Lan Yi, is everything okay now" Nan Lingrui's voice came from below. After making two rounds with a rod of punishment, his brocade robe was already stained with blood, yet he smiled without showing any signs of weakness.
"Prince Regent Ren seems very comfortable. Could this blood be fake" Cang Ting looked at Nan Lingrui and asked in doubt.
"Does Young Master Cang want to come down and check To see if the blood I am shedding is real or not" Nan Lingrui raised his eyebrows, though he was talking to Cang Ting, his gaze was directed towards Lan Yi. "Lady Lan Yi, why don't you come down to take a look and see if my blood is fake Compared to having Young Master Cang check it, I hope for your inspection."
"No need!" Lan Yi waved her hand and calmly looked at Nan Lingrui. "Below lies the Dragon Den Tiger Trap Formation; you still have time to back out now."
"A gentleman's word is as swift as a horsewhip. Once my golden mouth has spoken, how can I say it's all over" Nan Lingrui shook his head.
"Once entering the Dragon Den Tiger Trap Formation, life and death are determined by one’s fate. Prince Regent Ren must think carefully!" Lan Yi said again.
"I have thought about it long ago. Lady Lan Yi, with your mannerism now, do you worry for me You needn't be concerned; I am not someone who dies easily." Nan Lingrui looked at her as if he was moved to the core and spoke sincerely: "I won't let your child be fatherless!"
Lan Yi's face darkened as she stared at Nan Lingrui.
Smiling, Nan Lingrui gazed back at her with a straight gaze. Although he was covered in blood and there were several equally handsome men sitting on the Observation Star Tower, everyone’s eyes were now fixed on him. At this moment, people truly understood that Prince Regent Ren of the Southern Liang Kingdom wasn't as simple as his charming smile suggested. How many people in the world could still joke around in such a situation
"Someone! Listen to my command and set up the Dragon Den Tiger Trap Formation!" Lan Yi ordered clearly.
"Yes, Master of the Manor!" Someone responded from below the Observation Star Tower.
Following their gaze, Yun Qianyue saw about a hundred young men dressed uniformly jumping out in unison and setting up the formation according to the layout diagram she received from Lord Chu’s residence yesterday. Clearly, this formation had undergone some changes and was somewhat different from that layout diagram, but it still followed the same basic direction with little difference.
The hundred or so people quickly set up their positions.
"Twelve Dragons! Left center door; tail wing contract." Lan Yi called out softly again.
"Yes, Master of the Manor!" Another twelve young men leaped out and positioned themselves in the left center area.
"Twelve Tigers, right center gate. Front wing contract," Lan Yi softly instructed once more.
"Yes, Master of the Manor!" Another dozen young men jumped out to position themselves on the right side.
"Blue Feather! Guard the central door." Lan Yi called out again.
"Yes!" A black shadow leaped into the formation without making a sound; clearly an expert with high martial arts skills.
Yun Qianyue’s eyes narrowed slightly. The middle gate was a live gate, but there was such a highly skilled expert guarding it. This Dragon Den Tiger Trap Formation seemed even more formidable than what they saw on the layout diagram yesterday. She shifted her gaze to look at Nan Lingrui and noticed that he wasn’t looking at the formation at all; his eyes were still fixed straight onto Lan Yi, showing only interest in her. She focused back on Rong Jing as she turned her head.
Rong Jing slightly turned his head and looked at Yun Qianyue before lowering his voice to say: "Don’t worry! He himself said that he is tough enough to survive."
Yun Qianyue couldn't help but smile and nodded. She wouldn't let her brother die here!
"Besides, what if 'dying under the peony is still romantic even as a ghost' applies" Rong Jing's voice carried a hint of amusement.
Yun Qianyue snorted lightly in response.
"Prince Ying, please enter the array!" Lan Yi turned to Nan Lingrui and frowned slightly at his direct gaze.
"Alright!" Nan Lingrui smiled as he turned around and walked towards the Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array that had been set up.
"Brother, untie those thorns! We don't want you to accidentally prick any of the Lan family members when you're inside the array!" Yun Qianyue reminded him.
"That's true! My little sister really cares about me!" Nan Lingrui reached behind his back to untangle the thorns, but since they were tightly bound there, he couldn't reach them. He waved his hand towards someone behind him, "Heavenly Immortal Beauty, come here and help me!"
Under everyone's gaze, Luo Yao stepped forward and easily untangled the thorns for Nan Lingrui without saying a word.
Nan Lingrui didn't say much more, continuing to walk toward the array. However, Luo Yao still followed him closely behind.
"Miss, not everyone can enter the Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array!" Cang Ting called out to stop Luo Yao at this moment.
Luo Yao seemed deaf and dumb, walking directly behind Nan Lingrui.
"Prince Ying, entering the Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array with a lady I doubt that is appropriate," Ye Tianyi raised an eyebrow as he looked at Luo Yao and spoke up in time.
"What can be done about it Since this prince saved her, she swore to follow me wherever I go. No matter where I am, she will always be there. It's impossible for anyone to stop her," Nan Lingrui helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "Her temper is very stubborn; if Seventh Prince and Young Master Cang can keep her outside the array, this servant would appreciate it greatly, sparing me from having to worry about her inside."
"Miss, don't you care about your life The Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array isn't something to be trifled with," Cang Ting's voice was still ringing when he had already flown down in front of Luo Yao and grabbed her wrist. "Come on, let's go up the Observation Star Tower for a cup of tea while we wait for Prince Ying."
"No!" Luo Yao shook her head at Cang Ting.
"You don't have any martial arts skills; Prince Ying will be busy enough dealing with the Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array by himself. Adding you in, isn’t it a death sentence for him" Cang Ting raised his eyebrows.
"I'll still go willingly!" Luo Yao struggled to shake off Cang Ting’s grip but couldn't succeed. She looked at him coldly with her eyes.
“When did Young Master Cang start being gentle and tender” Rong Jing's voice was low and cold, "If I remember correctly, the conditions set by the Lan family didn’t say that no one else could follow Prince Ying into the Dragon’s Den Tiger Trap Array Moreover, it's just a woman without any martial arts skills. Why is Young Master Cang afraid of her trying to test Prince Ying’s real abilities"
"Brother Cang, let her go and allow her inside!" Lan Yi spoke at this moment with a somewhat cold tone.
“This young master does indeed wish to be gentle and tender. It seems no one appreciates it then. Alright!” Cang Ting didn’t糾纏 further and released Luo Yao.
Luo Yao shook her wrist, following Nan Lingrui forward.
Cang Ting did not climb up the Observation Star Tower but rather said with a smile, "I'll stay here to watch; I can see more clearly from down here."
No one else spoke.
Yun Qianyue thought that Cang Ting was mainly trying to test Luo Yao’s martial arts skills. The spot where he had grabbed her wrist was right above the pulse, and it was obvious she didn’t have any fighting ability. In a Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array with over a hundred people inside countless dragon dens and tiger mouths, those who could not withstand it were let alone those without any martial arts skills. Now that he had released his hand, she inwardly sneered: If this woman really is Luo Yao...
In no time at all, Nan Lingrui and Luo Yao entered the Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array.
The moment they stepped in, the array began to spin like a dragon ascending or like tiger roars. Instantly, black fog rolled inside.緊接著,黑霧將百人的大陣包圍,外麵的人再也看不到情形,隻能看到一團不斷翻滾纏繞的黑霧。
