"Oh, let’s hear it. What earth-shattering secret is it? I’ll consider a reward after listening," Long Rui frowned, jokingly looking at Xuexue.
Xuexue recounted everything she saw last night to Long Rui without hiding anything.
As Long Rui listened, his expression grew more solemn. He said, "So it turns out that the recent deaths of so many people were all caused by the Fourth Prince."
Xuexue nodded and said, "Yes! I don’t know what evil cultivation he practiced, but he’s beco terror level. It’s like he’s a monster, his eyes and mouth changed color."
Suddenly, Long Rui gravely addressed Xuexue, "My dear, if you see the Fourth Prince, you must avoid him."
"Avoid him, why?" Xuexue still wanted to get closer to him to gather more information!
Long Rui’s expression was heavy. He said, "Don’t ask why. Just rember, now that he has practiced evil cultivation, he is a dangerous person."
The Fourth Prince is her enemy; how can she take revenge without getting close?
Xuexue initially thought the Fourth Prince’s was crippled, not worth considering. As long as she took down the Empress, she could then eliminate the Fourth Prince, and her past life’s grievances would be avenged.
Who would have thought, the world can be unpredictable. She never imagined, even in her dreams, that the Fourth Prince would act so desperately, resorting to evil cultivation for the sake of the Crown Prince’s position.
Long Rui continued, "The Fourth Prince got involved in evil cultivation and will only sink deeper, slowly falling into the demonic path. The Fourth Prince has already embarked on a path of no return, eventually becoming heartless. My dear, you must listen and stay away from him; he’s now a dangerous person."
Long Rui’s concerns were indeed not without reason. The enmity between them and the Fourth Prince was already significant; who knows if one day he might go mad and drag Xuexue down with him?
In short, the Fourth Prince has gotten stronger, making Xuexue the most dangerous person. After all, just recently, the Fourth Prince had ordered the Pri Minister to assassinate Xuexue, but was unsuccessful. Now that he is stronger, will he let Xuexue go easily?
Xuexue nodded obediently, "Understood, Prince."
Long Rui narrowed his eyes dangerously, "If my dear dares to dismiss this ti, next ti I’ll truly punish."
Finally, he intensified his tone, saying, "Punish harshly."
Xuexue’s face blushed, naturally understanding what punishnt Long Rui referred to. She replied softly, "Understood!"
The Fourth Prince’s Mansion, study.
The Fourth Prince wore red attire, sitting on the bench before his desk.
The steward stood below, sincerely reporting to the Fourth Prince...
"Fourth Prince, we don’t know why, but the mansion servants have been disappearing in recent days. Already, more than a dozen have disappeared one after another."
"Hmm."
The Fourth Prince responded absent-mindedly while sipping tea.
The steward sneaked a glance at the Fourth Prince and then bowed his head, saying, "There are rumors outside, saying there has recently appeared a killer demon in the Capital, who has already killed many in nearby villages."
The Fourth Prince glanced at him coldly, chillingly asked, "What does it matter to you!"
The steward replied, "I wonder if the mansion servants were killed by that murderer? They were destroyed without a trace. I’ve heard this murderer is particularly cruel, digging out people’s eyes after killing them."
He then stepped forward, asking, "Fourth Prince, should we report to the governnt office?"
For so reason, as the steward spoke, he felt increasingly cold, like the ambient air suddenly plunged, unsure if it was just his imagination?
