Chapter 605: The Secret is Out Again
Chapter 605: The Secret is Out Again
In the original story, the Young Master was cruel and twisted, toying with Shen Bijun and torturing Xiao Sifang. However, when facing the Carefree Prince, he seemed to have submitted completely.
Reasonably, she should be deeply in love with the Carefree Prince.
However, when the original body struck the Young Master with a hidden sword, she helped Feng Siniang detoxify and expressed her gratitude to the original body, saying that if she had known that death was so easy, why bother living a hard life.
It's quite contradictory.
Lian Chengbi wanted to see the Young Master's reaction upon witnessing the Carefree Prince's death, so after restraining the Young Master, he handed her over to Feng Siniang.
Feng Siniang reached out and groped in front of the Young Master. She nodded and said, "It's a chest binder. She's indeed a woman."
The Young Master giggled, "I'm not only a woman, but I'm also very good at serving men. If you're curious about such things, I can teach you."
Feng Siniang glanced at the Young Master, "What haven't I seen? Do I need you to teach me?"
"For example, how to satisfy a man." The Young Master smiled, "Even if you're not satisfied, pretend to be, that's how you truly satisfy a man."
Feng Siniang pressed a point on the Young Master's neck, rendering her unable to speak, "You should just shut up!"
Xiao Sifang laughed heartily, "Haven't you seen it all?"
Feng Siniang shot Xiao Sifang a sideways glance, "Why don't you let her serve you?"
Xiao Sifang shook his head decisively.
Yang Kaitai asked, "Are we going to look for the Carefree Prince now?"
"Son-in-law..."
A weak voice interrupted Shen Bijun, who was blushing from Feng Siniang and Xiao Sifang's banter. But when she heard this feeble call, her face turned pale.
The speaker was Shen Tianju. Although Shen Bijun's golden needle had incapacitated him, he could still speak softly, as she had not struck a fatal blow.
"Son-in-law..." Shen Tianju's face was full of sorrow, "We... we were forced too. Please, son-in-law, for the sake of the Elder Madam, spare our lives..."
Shen Tianju pleaded for mercy, while Shen Tianzhu kept his eyes closed and remained silent.
"Rest assured, I won't kill you." Lian Chengbi said calmly, "I'll send you back to the Shen family, and whether you live or die will be up to the Elder Madam."
Shen Tianju's face changed as he realized that if Lian Chengbi sent them back to the Shen family estate and revealed the truth, they would still be doomed.
"Son-in-law, we will be loyal and never make the same mistake again. Can you please..." Shen Tianju begged.
"Enough!" Shen Tianzhu interrupted Shen Tianju, "You may have no shame, but I do!"
"I was just..." Shen Tianju was halfway through her sentence when Lian Chengbi struck an acupoint, silencing her. They were then thrown into the carriage next to them.
"Let's go back to Wugou Manor first. I'll send someone to escort them back to the Shen family estate, and then we'll head to the Qinling Mountains." Lian Chengbi smiled, "Finally, we'll get to meet the Carefree Prince."
...
The Carefree Prince was still waiting for news in the Qinling Mountains, and the Young Master, who was out on a mission, had been captured by them.
With no more worries, the group did not rush their journey. They proceeded methodically, departing from Gusu and traveling along the Yangtze River to Hankou. From there, they followed the Han River upstream, intending to enter Qinling through Hanzhong.
However, when the group arrived in Xiangyang and paid a visit to the local swordsman Wan Chongshan, they heard a piece of startling news.
"The Carefree Prince's whereabouts have been exposed!" Wan Chongshan said gravely.
"What?
Everyone was astonished.
They had come to visit Wan Chongshan, mentioning only that they were passing through and not revealing their plan to seek out the Carefree Prince.
Lian Chengbi asked, "Where? How was he exposed?"
"In the Qinling Mountains north of Hanzhong, not far from Mount Taibai." Wan Chongshan replied, "Apparently, a traveler was searching for the Carefree Prince's whereabouts and stumbled upon it by accident."
The group exchanged glances.
Xiao Sifang shook his head. "The Carefree Prince never shows himself to others, and most people haven't even seen him. How could someone discover his whereabouts?"
Feng Siniang added, "And to find out for sure, one would have to enter the Carefree Prince's estate. How many in the martial arts world could walk out of there unscathed?"
Yang Kaitai thought for a moment before saying seriously, "Even if you count the entire martial arts world, there probably wouldn't be more than five."
Shen Bijun asked, "Could it be that someone from the Yin Demon Sect leaked the information?"
Yang Kaitai's eyes lit up. "Like Xie Tianshi?"
"Xie Tianshi?" Wan Chongshan exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't he the new leader of Diancang? I heard he left recently for some reason but then went missing. Some suspect he went to find the Carefree Prince but met his end at his hands instead."
Xiao Sifang scoffed. "They guessed right. He did go to find the Carefree Prince, and he did die by his hand."
Wan Chongshan looked at Yang Kaitai. "But didn't you just say that Xie Tianshi was a member of the Yin Demon Sect?"
Feng Siniang nodded. "Who says a member of the Yin Demon Sect can't go after the Carefree Prince?"
Wan Chongshan paused, then understood, and nodded. "Indeed. Wealth and treasure move people's hearts, but Xie Tianshi was also a bit too ambitious."
Yang Kaitai added, "It wasn't just Xie Tianshi. He went with the Kunlun Twin Swords, Feng Yuzzi and Feng Songzi, as well as Li Fei, Zhao Chengguang, Zhang You, and Wan Qingsong."
Wan Chongshan was shocked. "Zhang You, the Shadow Sword, and Wan Qingsong, the Ten Thousand Willow Swordsman?"
Yang Kaitai nodded. "Yes, them."
Wan Chongshan was left speechless. "With those seven swords together, who in the world could stand against them? Did the Carefree Prince win?"
"He won very easily," Feng Siniang said.
Wan Chongshan was at a loss for words and even a little horrified because he knew that each of these seven individuals was at least his equal, if not better, but for them to join forces...
"Wait, how do you know all this?" Wan Chongshan suddenly realized something.
"Because we were there, watching when the Carefree Prince killed those seven," Feng Siniang said softly.
There was no need to hide it from Wan Chongshan anymore. Lian Chengbi said, "We came here this time to find the Carefree Prince."
Wan Chongshan looked at Lian Chengbi and smiled bitterly. "You're quite bold, but it might be too late by the time you get there now."
"Why?" Shen Bijun asked.
"Because after the Carefree Prince's location was exposed, many people have gone to find him." Wan Chongshan said, "In addition to Ouyang Jiu, the Central Plains Hero, I heard that the Three Spiritual Swordsmen of Wudang and the Four Great Kings of Shaolin have also descended from their mountains."
Once again, the group exchanged glances.
They had thought that their trip was a secret mission, but they never expected that even before they arrived, the news had already leaked, and it had attracted so many experts.
Feng Siniang looked at Lian Chengbi. "Looks like you'll really have to wait for the Carefree Prince to come to you."
Lian Chengbi was speechless. "I hope Ouyang Jiu and the experts from Shaolin and Wudang can take care of the Carefree Prince."
Yang Kaitai shook his head honestly. "That's difficult!"
