Shisu Town, one of the local royal families, the Cao Family.
"Dad, how am I, is there still any chance for recovery?"
In a certain room, Cao Cong lay on the bed, his lower body wrapped in gauze. The area between his legs was still stained with blood, shocking at first sight.
As Cao Cong slowly regained consciousness, he imdiately struggled to sit up. The movent pulled at his wound, causing him excruciating pain, cold sweat breaking out all over him as he scread hoarsely, "Tell quickly, is there still any chance for recovery?"
Everyone present was silent, one by one averting their eyes, avoiding the gaze of this young master.
"Speak!!"
Seeing this scene, how could Cao Cong not guess the result, but how could he accept it?
From now on, he would beco a cripple, a eunuch?!
"Speak!!"
Cao Cong roared, his face turning deep red, then bluish, his eyes blood-red and seemingly about to spew fire.
"Cong'er."
Cao Cong's father, Cao Jing, stepped forward, sat on the bed edge, and comforted him, "Rest assured, I've already found out that the slut is not familiar with Princess Ling'er, and they even had a falling out at the hotel."
"I've already instructed people to track her whereabouts. I promise you, we'll capture her alive and let you do whatever you want!"
Cao Cong had been castrated by Mu Ling'er, and due to the Cao Family's influence, they naturally didn't dare seek revenge on Princess Ling'er, thus turned all their wrath upon Gu Zhiqing instead.
"Dad, truly, is there really no way at all? Can't you try to save once more?" Cao Cong asked desperately, screaming hysterically.
Cao Jing remained silent, his eyes glowing with fierce light, murderously intent exposed.
He only had this one son, and now he had been disabled by soone—isn't this leaving him without heirs?
"I want to make her wish she was dead!!" Cao Cong said, face showing malevolence and bloodlust, squeezing these words through clenched teeth.
"Don't worry, I will personally bring her before you, and you can dispose of her as you wish."
Cao Jing patted his shoulder, stood up and said, "Rest well."
...
Heavy rains lasted until the morning.
As the sun rose.
The sky was clear and blue.
Two horses walked the clean streets of Shisu Town.
According to Chen Yang's prior plan, they started searching from various hotels, even if they couldn't find Gu Zhiqing, in such a mixed place, they might be able to gather so information about her.
Then, Chen Yang and Yang Hu split up to increase efficiency.
What they didn't know was.
From the mont they set foot in Shisu Town, they had already been spotted by people stationed by Mu Gang all over town and reported to Mu Ling'er.
"Well, you scoundrel, you truly are still alive!"
Mu Ling'er, with bleary eyes, quickly changed her clothes and instructed Mu Gang, "Let's go see this scoundrel today, I must make him submit!"
"If he's still stubborn, you can take him down directly. I refuse to believe it otherwise."
Mu Gang touched his chin, smiling but saying nothing.
How could he not see that the princess was already thoroughly agitated, given the clear will from the City Lord's Mansion.
Even though it seed unlikely that finding Chen Yang would be of any use, she was determined to try again.
For this, Mu Gang could only follow her in her madness.
Ten minutes later.
Chen Yang walked out of a hotel, just ready to head to the next one, when his path was blocked.
A group of highly recognizable Silver Armored Guards was led by Mu Gang and the red-dressed Mu Ling'er.
Chen Yang's brow suddenly arched, showing displeasure.
He truly hadn't expected that, after so long, this willful princess was still entangled with him.
Most crucially, how was he discovered just upon entering Shisu Town?
"Hehe..."
Mu Ling'er grinned, her eyes smiling to slits, "Chen Yang, we've t again. Have you been well lately?"
Chen Yang remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
"Rember last ti in the Northern Mountain, when I shielded you from the Ning brothers?"
Mu Ling'er's appearance now was like a fox eyeing its prey, smiling and saying, "Although I don't know what happened inside the Northern Mountain, you surviving certainly owes a bit to ."
"Now, I have a small matter I need your help with. I think you won't refuse, right?"
Chen Yang was speechless; the princess really spared no ans to force him into compliance.
"Sorry, I'm busy." Chen Yang said directly.
Mu Ling'er froze slightly, then kept her composure, her smile unfaltering, "You can agree first, I can wait for you later."
"Move aside." Chen Yang said.
Mu Ling'er: "…"
"You scoundrel!"
Mu Ling'er was imdiately furious, hands on her hips, eyes wide, "What is my status, Mu Ling'er? I've already lowered my posture again and again today, yet you're still acting like this scoundrel, don't I deserve any face?"
This change of face was faster than flipping a book.
This sudden scene naturally attracted the attention of many passersby; so who had heard of Mu Ling'er finally witnessed the headstrong princess's willfulness.
Not reasoning at all.
"He, he's Chen Yang? My god, he's truly alive?!"
Suddenly, soone pointed at Chen Yang, exclaiming in horror.
"What? You must be mistaken; wasn't he killed along with those people by the Dao Sect in the Northern Mountain?"
"It's really him! Last ti outside the city, I personally saw him fighting with the Biluo Sword Valley people."
"..."
One stone stirred up thousands of waves.
The news that Chen Yang was alive and appeared in Shisu Town spread like a deep-water bomb, tearing apart the morning.
Not only in this area, but the news quickly spread throughout Shisu Town.
While people were shocked that Chen Yang was alive, the most discussed topic was who had killed those people in the Northern Mountain?
To know, among those people, besides over a thousand strong cultivators, were also the Ning brothers, and the City Lord's Mansion's Mu Feng heir.
Even these big figures had died, but why did Chen Yang survive?
A tide of overwhelming discussions, like waves crashing, raised turbulent waters.
There must be sothing amiss with such unusual events.
Ignoring these discussions around him, Chen Yang indifferent remarked, "Move aside."
"You are a scoundrel, not at all receptive to kind intentions, humph!"
Mu Ling'er was enraged beyond belief; when had she ever repeatedly pleaded with soone, utterly ungrateful.
Then, she ordered Mu Gang, "Go, arrest this scoundrel for . Today, if I don't teach him a lesson, does he truly think this princess is a pushover?"
"Chen Yang, forgive ."
Mu Gang admired the young man before him but had no choice; as a servant, he had to obey orders.
"..."
