Chapter 149
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
The canonization ceremony was not over yet . Yu Linglong quietly walked down the tower .
Her magnificent robe was dragged heavily over the steps, and the spring breeze came with a little bit of coldness, but she didn’t pick up any corners of her clothes .
At this moment, she felt that she suddenly had a little more responsibility on her shoulders, but because of this weight, her footsteps became more stable and powerful .
Now that she was involved in the center of this storm, they would fight the storm together!
Next to the red-covered carriage, Yu Linglong held Ling’er’s hand and raised her eyes again to look out of the city, where the sun had completely broken free from the cloud cover, and the sky was full of sun rays .
Slightly squinting her eyes, she suddenly wondered how spectacular it would be to shine on his strong shoulders .
Slowly lifting her foot, she boarded the carriage . Ling’er respectfully lowered the curtain, turned her head, and said crisply, “Let’s go . ”
The carriage rose at the sound, and the sparkling sound resounded on the empty street, which seemed particularly long .
In the luxurious carriage, Yu Linglong sat on the thick brocade mattress, meditating on her next plan .
Lord Xu was canonized as the leader of the nine battalions and twelve guards . This was almost equivalent to completely ruining the prince’s face . How would this prince disguise his reaction with benevolence and filial piety this time?
Without having to think about it, he must have gritted his teeth and hated Lord Xu and would list Lord Xu as his number one enemy for this reason .
This was better . Since he was unkind, he shouldn’t blame others for being unrighteous .
It’s just that, if their plan was to be implemented, it may require careful design . The prince was tolerant for many years and would never do it lightly, let alone give up his position rashly . She would need some time to prepare if she wanted to force him to rebel . Of course, this also required Lord Xu’s plan .
Silently thinking about it, Yu Linglong didn’t realize that at some point, the carriage had turned into a quiet alley, and the sound of the horseshoes against the ground seemed particularly clear in the quiet alley .
The surroundings were empty and quiet, and the carriage was going steadily, but Yu Linglong’s heart suddenly jumped for no reason .
This was almost her instinct . She had a hunch whenever danger was about to come .
Suddenly, the wind screamed around and rolled towards the carriage she was riding in . Yu Linglong first heard the sound of horse hooves steadily moving forward and suddenly messed up . It seemed that the horses pulling the carriage were frightened, and then immediately she heard the call of the coachman: “Who—”
The coachman only spits out one word, then stopped talking abruptly, and went silent, as if he had disappeared out of thin air .
Could it be that someone attacked!?
Ling’er sitting at the door of the car immediately became alert and opened the curtain . Yu Linglong only had time to see a ghostly figure flashing by outside the car, and heard Ling’er exclaiming: “It’s you—”
Before Ling’er had finished speaking, her tiny body was pulled out of the carriage . She only heard a muffled grunt, and Ling’er didn’t move .
As early as the moment the coachman shouted, Yu Linglong had already pulled out her dagger and was ready to fight . She didn’t bring a guard this time, and except for the coachman and Linger, it was only her .
Obviously, the outsider used swift and ruthless means to get rid of the coachman and Ling’er, and then he was going to come at her .
Sure enough, the still trembling curtain was lifted up, and an upside-down face appeared in front of Yu Linglong .
When he came in, he happened to aim at the dagger she had already been holding near the curtain . The shimmering tip of the knife happened to touch the little red dot between her eyebrows .
At this moment, Yu Linglong had a momentary illusion, thinking that the red dot was the blood she shed from piercing her eyebrows .
His long and narrow eyes glanced at the dagger in her hand, but Feng Xuanyuan didn’t have any nervous expressions at all, he just smiled evilly: “Yu’er, we meet again . ”
His smile was so flawless, yet full of wicked evil spirits . Yu Linglong had never seen a man like him in her previous life . He walked secretly, had a perverted temperament, but looked like a ghost, entangled in her .
Yu Linglong’s palms couldn’t help but sweat . Although she had only seen Feng Xuanyuan a few times, she knew very well that his martial arts were really unfathomable, and she was definitely not his opponent .
At this moment, her dagger pointed directly at his eyebrows, but he didn’t care . His eyes looked at her coquettishly, as if she was already a plaything in his palm and had no ability to resist .
Yu Linglong squeezed the dagger in her hand, and said solemnly: “Get out!”
Feng Xuanyuan shook his head regretfully, speaking as if he was coaxing an innocent child: “Yu’er, I found you so easily, how could I just leave like this?”
She unceremoniously sent the dagger in her hand forward, and the sharp tip of the knife had already pressed against his skin, and it seemed that he was about to break into his skin .
Her beautiful eyes burst with anger, and Yu Linglong sternly shouted: “Feng Xuanyuan, are you afraid of death!?”
The next moment, before she could see Feng Xuanyuan’s movements clearly, her wrist was suddenly clenched . Yu Linglong grit her teeth, exhausted all her strength, and stabbed Feng Xuanyuan fiercely!
With a crisp sound, the dagger that pierced Feng Xuanyuan turned around halfway, and with all the strength of Yu Linglong, it pierced the wooden board of the carriage up to its handle, leaving only the handle of the dagger trembling slightly outside .
Yu Linglong’s center of gravity was unstable, and Feng Xuanyuan pulled her into his arms in an instant . Her slender body was immediately held tightly and she couldn’t move at all .
He picked up his chin familiarly and was forced to meet her phoenix eyes bursting with cold light .
“Yu’er, do you really want to kill me?”
Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and said, “Feng Xuanyuan, you let me go! Or I’ll—”
“Or you’ll what?” With long and narrow eyes with a playful smile, Feng Xuanyuan’s big hands were reluctant to leave, rubbing her delicate chin, “Did you bite your tongue?”
Yu Linglong turned her head fiercely and got rid of his hand . She didn’t even look at him, and said coldly: “If you don’t let go, I will kill you!”
The big hand wrapped around her slender waist suddenly tightened . Even with a few layers of clothing, she could still feel the tightness and scorching heat in his palm .
“Do you think he can come to rescue you?” Feng Xuanyuan’s voice emphasized that “he,” obviously unwilling to mention the name of Lord Xu, “You went to see his canonization ceremony . How was it? It was beautiful, wasn’t it?”
Hearing Feng Xuanyuan’s ferocious tone, Yu Linglong was slightly startled, but for a moment she was furious .
He was following her, monitoring her!?
This pervert!
“Why do you care where I go!?”
“Of course I care,” Feng Xuanyuan’s hands tightened, full of domineering and overbearing power, “I know where you went, who you were with, and what you have done!”
Suddenly hearing his childish words, Yu Linglong was a little startled . Was this kid bluffing?
Because she was too tightly held, Yu Linglong had to lift her head to see Feng Xuanyuan’s face .
A strange brilliance burst into his face . His expression was unpredictable, suddenly angry, suddenly dark, and suddenly violent, but his long and narrow eyes were shining, with an incredible edge .
Yu Linglong smiled coldly . Her words like a blade, cold and sharp: “Master Feng, do you remember? I am married to Lord Xu, you saw this with your own eyes! Don’t forget, now I am Princess Xu!”
Agitated by her words, Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes suddenly became bright, and his cold lips were sharply raised, and he burst out manic and tyrannical words: “Do you think I care about whose princess you are!? Even if you are the princess, the empress dowager, or the empress, I only recognize you as mine!”
Seeing him grit his teeth, it seemed that his emotions might get out of control anytime and anywhere . Yu Linglong screamed, but before she could move, the next moment, her neck had already been hit, and her eyes suddenly went dark and she fainted .
The force to stun her was very precise . Feng Xuanyuan looked at the delirious woman in his arms, and the frenzy on her face gradually softened .
After sighing deeply, Feng Xuanyuan gently lifted her and rose into the air .
After jumping a few times, he had disappeared with her, leaving only an empty carriage with a floating curtain and two unconscious people on the ground .
…
At some point, Yu Linglong finally woke up .
As soon as she recovered her senses, she immediately sat up, kneading the neck that had been hit, and looking at the surroundings vigilantly .
This was a huge room, even larger than her bedroom in the Xu Palace . The furnishings were not extravagant, and the simple and practical style was everywhere . However, if she looked carefully, she could find that the beds, tables, chairs, utensils, and decorations in this room were all high-quality with exquisite workmanship . Only the wide blue brocade quilt on her body felt delicate, soft, and thick, and the cover was extremely comfortable .
The door of the room was ajar, and there were a few sounds outside, seeming to be discussing something . Yu Linglong got off the bed without making any noise and walked to the door lightly .
Recalling the scene before she was knocked unconscious, she easily came to a conclusion that at this moment she should have been kidnapped by Feng Xuanyuan, and this place was probably Feng Xuanyuan’s site .
The voices from the outside gradually became clear . They were a few strange voices, some old and some loud, seeming to be arguing about something important .
“…Today’s matter must deal with my disciples! Otherwise, in this peaceful and prosperous world, why set up a military leader?”
“Yes, especially Lord Xu! Even if the people don’t know it, don’t we know? What kind of person is Lord Xu, who has been chasing after us for many years? Last time it was a bloodbath! If it weren’t for this, would we be so badly injured and want to live in seclusion here?”
“Leader Mingjian, if this continues, I’m afraid my many congregations—”
“Okay!” Amidst the noise, Feng Xuanyuan’s voice had a chill that Yu Linglong had never heard before . She heard him say in a deep voice, “Didn’t you forget what happened last time!?”
Yu Linglong couldn’t understand the meaning of this sentence but faintly felt that the matter they were discussing was related to Lord Xu .
Because of Feng Xuanyuan’s words, all the arguing voices were silent . Although she was not immersed in the scene, Yu Linglong could still clearly feel the seriousness and grief in the room .
After a long time, an old voice slowly said: “We will listen to the arrangements of the leader . ”
There was a small commotion in the room, but no one objected .
It seemed that although Feng Xuanyuan was young, his prestige in the Blue Lotus Cult was extremely high .
Feng Xuanyuan’s voice seemed to be magical, faintly revealing a calm and reassuring power: “The last incident was that the Goddess was testing the determination of all the congregations . Those congregants who were affected in the capital can only say that they are insincere . They have been sent to warn them repeatedly, saying that the government will take action to move their families . Thousands of religious people are enough to keep them safe, but they don’t believe it . They only cared about family property and status, and they destroyed their families . ”
His voice fell low . His mood clearly fluctuated, and he paused before continuing: “Although we have lost a lot of members, after that storm, all the church members left today are sincerely converted and serve the Goddess honestly . This is also a good thing for my Blue Lotus Cult . But even so, we should not act rashly, and we must not let thousands of congregations bleed in vain!”
There was silence in the room, but Yu Linglong could feel there was a kind of enthusiasm surging slowly .
There was a sound of footsteps in the room, and it seemed that Feng Xuanyuan had stood up and was walking on the ground .
“The day before yesterday, I observed the celestial bodies and found that there was a small star falling beside the Goddess, the direction is to the east . According to the doctrine, before the Goddess’s death, there must be a saint coming down, so these days, I have been Looking for the saint, if we can get the assistance of the saint, the revival of our Blue Lotus Cult will be just around the corner!”
There was a burst of cheers in the room . Obviously, after hearing Feng Xuanyuan’s words, the Blue Lotus Cultists were all excited, wishing to find the Blue Lotus saint immediately .
Taking advantage of the noise, Yu Linglong quickly checked the room, looking for a way to get out . Who knew this room was so big but there was not even a window . The door to her room was the only way out .
Yu Linglong had to quietly push open the door of the room, trying to see the situation clearly . Who knew that while the door looked heavy, it was very light when she pushed it . When she pushed it carelessly, the door immediately made a soft noise .
Yu Linglong screamed horribly in her heart . Although the sound was not loud, how could she keep it from Feng Xuanyuan? Her push was really completely exposed .
Sure enough, the sound of the room door hadn’t landed yet, and those narrow eyes had already shot over, and seeing her in the dark, the corners of Feng Xuanyuan’s lips made an evil curve .
She had been discovered anyway, and Yu Linglong walked out graciously .
She had just eavesdropped on them . She thought there were only a dozen people outside, but she discovered that the room was full of people when she came out, and the outside of the room was also full of congregants who were watching . The people inside and outside the room were all dressed in blue robes . Among them, there were men and women, old and young, all quiet .
Yu Linglong originally thought that if there were few people, she might even take the opportunity to escape . When she saw the situation in front of her, she obviously couldn’t escape .
Seeing her suddenly walk out of the leader’s room, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Feng Xuanyuan .
Feng Xuanyuan didn’t notice it, and stretched out his hand to Yu Linglong, showing an unclear smile: “Come here . ”
Yu Linglong was on guard and walked towards him step by step, and stopped when she reached him .
Ignoring the complicated gazes around, Yu Linglong only looked at Feng Xuanyuan, and said in a low voice, “When will you let me go?”
Even though she had deliberately kept a safe distance from him, Yu Linglong was still pulled into his long arm and dragged to his side .
His voice rang in her ears as if he was teasing her triumphantly: “Don’t even think about it . ”
Two angry blushes rose on her pink cheeks, and Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and said, “Feng Xuanyuan, stop dreaming!”
Feng Xuanyuan didn’t care at all; on the contrary, he was very happy . Obviously, Yu Linglong by his side was what he was most proud of .
His hand freely reached to her neck, with an affectionate attitude, but his domineering voice sounded softly in her ear: “As I said before, I am tied to you, you are mine—”
Her slender fingertips flicked, but they froze . Yu Linglong was very happy to see Feng Xuanyuan’s face suddenly turn black, and a raging anger rose up .
Grasping her arm tightly, his suppressed voice carried the anger that swept through everything, and he whispered: “Where is the jade necklace!?”
That piece of jade, that piece of jade that was vital to life and death, that piece of jade that he personally put on her neck, claiming that no one but him can take it off in the world, why was it missing!?
Yu Linglong’s lips were slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile . She took out the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to him: “I’m returning your jade pendant!”
Since Lord Xu removed this jade pendant from her neck last time, she has always kept it in the purse on her waist . Lord Xu said that this was a token of the Blue Lotus Cult . She did not want to destroy it easily, and it was another reason to get entangled with Feng Xuanyuan .
Now, this opportunity was just right, and if she paid him back, she wouldn’t owe him anything .
In her slender, white palm, the jade pendant lay quietly, like a magical flame, bursting with agile light .
Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes were sharp, but he was surprisingly silent .
But the others whom Yu Linglong hadn’t noticed looked at each other, and it seemed that after a long time, they finally came back to their senses .
All of a sudden, they knelt down to the ground . Their voices were uniform, but they were deafening like thunder in Yu Linglong’s ears .
“All hail the saint!”
