Princess Xiyun was about to walk out the door when Lin Xiaodong suddenly spoke.
"Hmph, I don't need Qingfeng's face.
Princess Xiyun, I advise you, don’t trust the person next to you too much, be careful if you are taken into a ditch by him, you may die without knowing it.”
Qingfeng showed a fierce look when he snatched his treasure map that day, but now he looks like a good guy. He must have always been pretending like this when around the princess.
Otherwise, the princess would not have regarded him as a confidant and would have given him precious swords frequently.
Among the people present, only Lin Xiaodong had seen Qingfeng's true face. He was so ambitious! If the benefits were big enough, he might even dare to betray the princess.
Seeing that although the princess was extremely unruly, she was not too bad, Lin Xiaodong still warned her.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Xiyun turned around and asked: "Lin Xiaodong, please tell me clearly, why is Qingfeng what you said?"
Lin Xiaodong looked at Qingfeng coldly and said: "In short, I have told you that Qingfeng is not a good person.
As for whether you believe it or not, that's beyond my control."
Princess Xiyun's face changed greatly and she scolded: "Lin Xiaodong, you can't falsely accuse others without evidence. Qingfeng has been a close confidant of mine for many years. He has always been loyal and has never had any second thoughts! Oh, I understand, you are because of
We attack you, so we hold a grudge and want to sow discord between our master and servant, right?
I tell you, stop dreaming, it’s impossible!”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaodong could only smile bitterly. It seemed that Princess Xiyun couldn't listen to her anymore.
"Since you don't believe it, let's just wait and see. There will always be times when you regret it."
This sentence angered the princess even more. Qingfeng quickly stood up and comforted: "Princess, I think Lin Xiaodong is really concerned about your personal safety before he warned you. There should be no malice.
Maybe it's because I attacked him before, so he doubted my character. I don't care..." Princess Xiyun scolded: "Look, how many times Qingfeng has said nice things for you, you don't appreciate it.
That’s it, you still slander him, what a cruel person!”
Lin Xiaodong rolled his eyes and stood aside without saying a word.
Lan Ruo also stood up to break up the fight and said: "Lin Xiaodong, I saw Qingfeng didn't do anything, not to mention you defeated him, right?
He shouldn't be the bad guy you said..." Lin Xiaodong raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and Lan Ruo closed her mouth angrily.
He hasn't told anyone about the fact that the person who came to snatch the treasure map is Qingfeng, he just doesn't think it's necessary.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment. Qingfeng broke the silence first: "Princess, why don't we leave first? Let's pretend that what happened today never happened..." "No, Lin Xiaodong slanders you like this, how can he let it go so easily?"
Qingfeng said sincerely: "Princess! I don't mind what he says at all, as long as you know that I am loyal."
Lin Xiaodong glanced at him and thought that this man's acting skills were really superb.
Princess Xiyun's face softened a little and she said, "You have such a good temper that others would bully you like this! Okay, let's leave first so as not to disturb Mr. Lin's enjoyment here."
Seeing the group of people leaving, Runyu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the two groups of people would make things worse here.
That's a princess! No matter what else, it's just a small thing that her inn can't open anymore, maybe even her head will fall off.
She suddenly realized that since Lin Xiaodong and the others could challenge the princess, they must be from extraordinary backgrounds, and she quickly invited them to rest in the guest room, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
After a while, Runyu asked the chef to arrange a sumptuous lunch, fearing that they would not be satisfied.
Runyu served them the last plate of food and said with a smile: "Guests, please take your time. I won't disturb you. Come to me anytime if you need anything."
As soon as she left the room, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and felt that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
In all the years her inn has been open, this is the first time she has encountered such a terrifying guest.
What she didn't know was that as soon as she left the room, the people in the room started talking and laughing without paying any attention to her.
"Lin Xiaodong, I really didn't expect Princess Xiyun to come here, and I don't think they are following us.
I’m afraid, those mercenaries they hired are really capable, and they can even find this place without a treasure map!”
Lin Xiaodong shook his head and said: "They can find the Sky Burial Mountain, but they may not be able to find the Deep Sea Dragon Palace on the Sky Burial Mountain. Otherwise, the treasures in the Dragon Palace would have been stolen by those mercenaries, so what are they still doing here?
Therefore, the treasure map in our hands gives us an innate advantage. As long as we act more carefully, we will definitely be able to reach the Dragon Palace before them!"
"You are right, then let's rest for one night and set off tomorrow."
The sudden arrival of the princess and her group gave her a strong sense of urgency, fearing that she would be left behind.
Although Lin Xiaodong thought that the other party did not have a treasure map and it would be difficult to find the Deep Sea Dragon Palace, but seeing Lan Ruo being so anxious, he agreed.
"By the way, have you seen Princess Xiyun's expression today? This is the first time I know that a princess can be so rude!"
Lin Xiaodong was not interested in the princess's cultivation and remained silent.
Bai Yuquan responded: "Yes, I have always heard that Princess Xiyun is unruly by nature and is not afraid of heaven or earth. Now I know that these rumors are true.
However, I have heard that the current Holy Emperor prefers her temperament and dotes on her quite a lot.
You must be careful not to really offend her in the future, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Lan Ruo pursed her lips and said angrily: "Aren't you just a princess? She's not as well-educated as her guard named Qingfeng! Lin Xiaodong, don't you think so?"
Such a well-educated man is rare in Qianshui City."
"you ask me?"
Lin Xiaodong paused while picking up the vegetables and asked, "I just said that Qingfeng's self-cultivation is all pretend and cannot be taken seriously."
Lan Ruo frowned and said: "I still can't figure out why you said that about him..." "You can ask Senior Bai, the night before I left seclusion, someone came to snatch the treasure map again, and the tricks used were exactly the same as that of Qingfeng.
.
He first came to snatch the treasure map, and then pretended to be a good guy after he failed. How can I trust his character?"
Lan Ruo explained: "Maybe the princess sent him to snatch the treasure map?
If it’s the princess’s order, it’s not incomprehensible.”
Lin Xiaodong just shook his head. He had never forgotten the murderous intention and cruelty shown by Qingfeng that night.
