Chapter 1501 - Leading The Spirit Beasts To Attack The City XXIX
“My dear, let’s wait for the general’s return to decide. Don’t worry. I won’t let Yue’er feel this grievance for nothing. As for this young lady…” Qi Fang paused as guilt crept into his expression. “I will compensate her properly.”
It was due to his deep trust in Lianyi that they had misunderstood this young woman.
Although the empress’s expression was a little sullen, she had other more important things to take care of, so she refrained from arguing with Qi Fang.
She walked over to Feng Ruqing, guilt written all over her face. “I was mistaken…”
Feng Ruqing gave her a cold glance before turning to Nan Xian.
“Let’s go.”
“Sure.”
Nan Xian smiled and caressed Feng Ruqing’s head with a gentle look in his eyes.
After seeing that it was just a misunderstanding, the spirit beasts retreated. However, even though this was a misunderstanding, the fact remained that someone in Wu Shang City was trying to kill Feng Ruqing.
Qi Yue got anxious. “Are you guys leaving just like that?”
Feng Ruqing raised an eyebrow at Qi Yue. “Did you want a beating?”
“I…” Qi Yue glanced carefully at Feng Ruqing before looking swiftly at the spirit beasts beside her. “All of these are my parents’ fault. I’m innocent, so I’d like to come along with you. I want to call you my master.”
His goal of going to the spirit beast mountain before was to seal an agreement with a spirit beast. Even if he failed to do so, he wanted to steal a spirit beast egg at least.
However, he failed and almost died a few times under the claws of those spirit beasts.
Now that he saw how many spirit beasts would follow Feng Ruqing with just a wag of her finger, a resolution slowly formed in his heart.
“I won’t take you.” Feng Ruqing rejected him without consideration.
The little prince was flustered. “I will behave and stop causing trouble. Just take me as your disciple. I will study well and not let you down.”
Everyone in Wu Shang City knew that the young prince, Qi Yue, was arrogant and a bully. He would not even listen to the emperor.
However, this arrogant Qi Yue was now so well-behaved… just so he could worship a woman as his teacher.
Qi Feng was mildly stunned. He finally studied Feng Ruqing’s appearance, perhaps hoping to see what magical powers this young woman had to make Qi Yue behave this way.
“Yue’er…” The empress wanted to say something, but Qi Yue turned and shot her a glare.
“This is all your fault. Why did you guys attack Goddess Sister? She saved me on the spirit beast mountain a few times, unlike that idiot, Feng Lianqing. That man can’t even look after a child and has almost endangered my like.”
Feng Lianqing was speechless.
He could not deny it. After all, what this little prince said sounded like the truth.
“Miss.” The empress looked up sheepishly at Feng Ruqing. “We have misunderstood you just now. Can you…”
“Yeah, like the issue of sending men to the spirit beast mountain to hold us off can be resolved just by calling it a misunderstanding.” Feng Ruqing looked cold and indifferent.
The empress’s expression stiffened. It was indeed their fault in the first place, and now that her son was supporting the outsider, she dared not vent her frustrations.
“What would you like then, Miss? We can compensate you in any way. It’s just that Yue’er, he… would like to have you as his teacher.”
This empress had indulged the little prince to the extent of spoiling him. Whatever the little prince wanted, she would think of every way to get it for him. She would not even ask for Feng Ruqing’s identity so that she could satisfy her child.
