Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After dreaming for so long, Princess Yan Ling was finally going to make a breakthrough tonight. She couldn’t be more excited.

However, when she opened her eyes, she saw a sword on her shoulder.

Involuntarily, Princess Yan Ling looked up and saw a man dressed in black. He looked rather familiar, especially those eyes, which reminded her of someone she had seen before.

Princess Yan Ling was perplexed. Wasn’t Grandpa Ma guarding the door? How could someone reach her and point a dagger at her?

“Don’t you know who I am?” Princess Yan Ling found the act idiotic. “How dare you point a dagger at my neck? Who are you? Do you have a death wish?”

The person under the black scarf smirked, and there was contempt in his eyes as well. He was looking at Princess Yan Ling as if she was a stupid pig.

Feeling humiliated, Princess Yan Ling flew into a rage out of humiliation. “You must have a death wish! How dare you treat me like this? Die!”

Princess Yan Ling suddenly raised her hand and shot an arrow in the person’s face.

However, she realized that the other party seemed to have come prepared and was very familiar with her behavior. As soon as she raised her hand, the other party pressed her sleeve back down and said sarcastically, “Princess, save your energy. It’s useless to me.”

Princess Yan Ling was furious. “You!”

Since the other party had subdued her so easily, Princess Yan Ling immediately realized that she wasn’t his match.

She was already a Level-I Spiritual Saint, but she still wasn’t his match.

“Grandpa Ma! ”

Princess Yan Ling cried out. She needed Ma Quanquan to save her.

However, Ma Quanquan couldn’t even save himself now.

Princess Yan Ling wasn’t stupid. She knew how serious the situation was when Ma Quanquan didn’t show up after she asked for help.

Princess Yan Ling used her spiritual essence to communicate with the spiritual jade, but she realized that the spiritual essence around her had been sealed, and she couldn’t send out any distress signals.

Only then did Princess Yan Ling realize how dangerous the situation was.

“You!” Princess Yan Ling gritted her teeth and stared at the man. “Who on earth are you? What do you want? I’m the princess of the Dayan Empire. I can give you anything you want.”

The man smirked as if he was amused by Princess Yan Ling.

“You!”

An idea then struck Princess Yan Ling. She suddenly remembered someone, and her face went ghastly pale!

“You! I know who you are!” Princess Yan Ling stared at the man. “You’re Lord Jing! You’re him!”

Seeing that Princess Yan Ling had recognized him, Lord Jing took off his black scarf.

Since he was here to assassinate her, he shouldn’t have done that.

But Lord Jing was so pleased with himself that he thought he had everything under control. Moreover, he wanted to see the astonished look on Princess Yan Ling’s face, so he decided to remove his mask.

“It really is you! ”

Princess Yan Ling gritted her teeth and stared at him. “Are you going to kill me?!”

Lord Jing nodded.

Princess Yan Ling smirked. “You’re just a petty Lord Jing. How can you kill me? Aren’t you afraid that the Dayan Empire will take revenge?!” Lord Jing gave Princess Yan Ling a strange look.

Princess Yan Ling stuck out her chest and glared at him.

“Princess, why do you still not understand?” Lord Jing patted Princess Yan Ling on the shoulder and said in an earnest tone, “As a matter of fact, your life is in my hands now.”

Princess Yan Ling said, “Grandpa Ma is…”

Lord Jing smiled. “Are you still counting on your Grandpa Ma? If he could show up, he would have done so as soon as you called him. Why wait?”

Princess Yan Ling gritted her teeth and stared at Lord Jing. “Who’s behind you? Why do you want to kill me?!”

Lord Jing heaved a long sigh.

He said, “Princess, are you stalling for time? Do you think your Grandpa Ma will come to save you? You’re mistaken. Master Min is a better fighter than your Grandpa Ma. He won’t come back in time.”

Princess Yan Ling said, “How dare you?!”

Lord Jing smiled. “Since I know you’re stalling, do you know why I’m still answering your questions?

“Because I’m sure of my plan, Princess Yan Ling.

“Everything’s been arranged. You can go to hell.

“Don’t worry. If you’re dead, the Dongsang Kingdom won’t be implicated. Even if the Dayan Empire wants to do something, it’ll have to go to the Junwu

Empire.”

Princess Yan Ling took the hint right away.

“So, you’re not the only one who wants to kill me. Night Owl and the Dongsang King want to kill me as well! Without the Dongsang King, you won’t be able to

persuade Master Min to restrain Grandpa Ma!”

‘Yes!”

“Why?!” Princess Yan Ling stared at Lord Jing. ‘Why?! I understand that you and Night Owl want to kill me because Night Owl is your son. If you want to keep it a secret, you have to kill me. But why did the Dongsang King want to kill me? Why?!”

Lord Jing gave her a half-smile. “Do you want to know?”

Princess Yan Ling said, “Tell me!”

Lord Jing chuckled. “It’s nothing, really. If you hadn’t been so aggressive, Princess Yan Ling, we wouldn’t have attacked you. Do you know how difficult it is to set you up?

Princess Yan Ling said, “You set me up? That’s right! You set me up from the very beginning! You took me away on purpose so that Night Light could humiliate me. You then provoked me to kill Night Light after you recorded us. What did you do after that? How did you trick the Dongsang King?!”

Lord Jing suddenly said, “Princess Yan Ling, you must regret that you didn’t tell

His Majesty in advance, right?”

Princess Yan Ling said, “Yes, I regret that I didn’t tell His Majesty that Night

Owl was your son. Otherwise, you and Night Owl would have been dead by now.

You would never have had the chance to act so arrogantly in front of me!” Lord Jing patted Princess Yan Ling on the cheek. “That’s right. You’re kinder than me.’

Princess Yan Ling said angrily, “I’m going to die. Can’t you answer my question?! How did you fool the Dongsang King? Tell me!”

Lord Jing seemed to be magnanimous. “Alright, alright. It’s getting late. I’ll let you know before you die.”

Hence, Lord Jing told them how he and Night Owl had joined hands..
