"With the Sword Saint here, surely the Second Prince wouldn't dare slaughter us all, would he?" Yi Xiaofeng asked with a frown.
Qin Qinxue sighed. "What if the Sword Saint leaves?"
Yi Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes.
At present, his greatest support was the Sword Saint.
Although the Sword Saint had not truly accepted him as a disciple yet, having lived two lives, how could he fail to see the Sword Saint's feelings toward him?
The Sword Saint definitely thought highly of him and had always treated him like a disciple.
Their relationship only lacked someone tearing away that final veil.
Ahem...
Put that way...
It sounded a little ambiguous.
"Shan Tiange isn't dead yet. He was only detained by Northern Wei and suffered severe injuries. Shan Tiange seems to have a very good relationship with the Second Prince. Earlier, I heard Zhuo Ye Fortress's patrol disciples mention that Zhuo Ye Fortress had previously been attacked by a group of mysterious assassins. Most of the old Fortress Lord's elite subordinates died. The Second Prince was probably helping Shan Tiange eliminate the old Fortress Lord's confidants." As Qin Qinxue spoke, she scanned the surroundings, afraid someone might come close and eavesdrop.
"I have a plan."
"That is to pledge loyalty to the Second Prince and submit to him. After all, his subordinates must have done evil deeds for him. He can't possibly kill them all. On the contrary, if we pretend not to know anything yet refuse to join him, we'll definitely die."
Yi Xiaofeng fell into thought.
That was indeed a good idea.
But he had a better patron to rely on. There was no need to bargain with a tiger.
"I'll rest for a while first. Otherwise, I'll have trouble even walking," Yi Xiaofeng said with a smile.
