Liu Huo’s eyes narrowed in that instant. A murderous fire ignited in his aloof eyes.
Looking at Ji Fengyan’s back profile, his expression turned extremely hard. Just as he wanted to head over to Ji Fengyan, Ji Linglong suddenly appeared in the yard.
“Fengyan.” Ji Linglong called out.
Ji Fengyan raised her head.
“There’s something you should know…”
Ji Linglong’s arrival brought along the same piece of major news. Just as the Emperor sent word to the Ji family to invite Ji Fengyan to the palace to discuss some matters, Ji Linglong had also secretly discovered something unusual. As such, she had personally come to find Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan was involuntarily shocked at Ji Linglong’s words.
She had just gotten the news from Fourth Princess—she never expected the Eldest Princess to make her move so quickly.
It was obvious why the Emperor was summoning her to the royal palace.
Ji Linglong couldn’t help but worry about Ji Fengyan. Everyone in the palace was just waiting for Ji Fengyan to arrive. It appeared that this was no small matter.
“I will head down for a look.” Ji Fengyan straightened herself. What’s coming will come, there would be no hiding from it.
It appeared the Emperor would not be making the decision on his own—this meant she still stood a chance.
Truly unacceptable…
At most she would give a sound beating to Eldest Princess, Lei Min and Su Lingsheng, before escaping from the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. The world was so wide, could she not easily find another sanctuary?
Ji Linglong patted Ji Linglong’s shoulder before striding toward the gates.
Ji Linglong looked somewhat grim. Passing a sweeping gaze across the yard, she suddenly saw Liu Huo standing under the shadows of a nearby banyan tree. Liu Huo’s eyes had turned cold in contrast to his usual indifference. His expression involuntarily startled Ji Linglong. Before she could regain her composure, Liu Huo had already left.
Walking by the hall, Ji Fengyan passed by Ji Mubai. He had his head down and seemed to not have noticed Ji Fengyan.
Outside the gates, the royal family’s horse carriage had already been waiting for some time. Seeing Ji Fengyan, the royal guards opened the carriage doors without a word and signaled for her to board.
Standing upon Ji family’s attic, Liu Huo watched the horse carriage bearing Ji Fengyan disappearing into the distance. His expression flickered.
“Master.” The guard standing behind Liu Huo felt somewhat anxious. The aura emanating from Liu Huo was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe.
Liu Huo narrowed his eyes, a glint of chilliness flashing across his pupils.
Wheels spinning, the horse carriage soon arrived outside the royal palace. Ji Fengyan alighted from the carriage and followed the royal servants’ lead into the palace.
This was Ji Fengyan’s second trip to the royal palace; it was just as grand as she remembered. The difference was that the first time had been for the Thirteenth Prince’s birthday celebration and the palace grounds were full of people. This time, the massive space only contained her and the silent guide.
Even though she knew today was the day that the Eldest Princess was entrapping her, Ji Fengyan’s spirits rose as she entered the royal palace. They constructed the palace of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon to perfection. God knew how many skilled craftsmen had their hands on it. Every single piece of tile and pillar was full of dense spiritual energy. Ji Fengyan could feel the energy surging into her inner core just by walking inside the palace!
