Chapter 880: Battle of Wits

Jing Yuan held the rose in his mouth, knelt down on one knee in front of Hong Lian, and held the red rose in front of Hong Lian: "Dear Miss Nangong, I, Ling Ying, will love you for the rest of my life."

Ling Ying?

What the hell...

Everyone was confused. Even the well-informed old housekeeper had never heard of Ling Ying.

With a faint smile on her lips, Honglian took the red rose and said with a cold and arrogant smile: "Brother Ling Ying, get up quickly."

With that said, she turned to the old housekeeper and said: "Butler, let me introduce to you. This is the eldest brother of Phoenix Temple Yinghuang Lingcan, Ling Ying."

"Shadow Phoenix's eldest brother?!"

Everyone was immediately horrified.

"After he learned that his younger brother died in Bai Chen's hands, he hurried back from the mainland, but now he has fallen in love with me, so he will not be foolishly loyal to the Phoenix Temple like his younger brother, he will only become me The patron saint of Nangong Palace!”

As soon as Honglian said this, everyone's expressions changed.

"Um... may I ask, Miss, what is his realm?" one of the maids asked.

Hearing this, Hong Lian turned around proudly and smiled calmly: "Heavenly Dao Realm."

sky……? !

Ignoring those stunned people, Honglian and Jingyuan walked straight out of the garden.

To show off, you need to be thorough.

The words "Tiandao Realm" completely shocked the people in the palace. They had doubts, doubts and uneasiness in their hearts.

However, with their determination to die, they are still more willing to choose trust.

When a life-saving straw appears in the sea of ​​death, how can the dying person care whether the straw can bear their weight?

I'll definitely catch him!

In this way, the Nangong Palace returned to the bright lights of the past, and the matter of having a strong man in the Heavenly Dao realm spread rapidly outwards like a storm, reaching every corner of the Fengyan Dynasty in less than half a month.

In today's Nangong Palace, the fact that Nangong Yiyun has a bodyguard from the Tiandao realm has become the hottest topic in the world.

You know, in the eyes of the world, the only powerful person in the Heavenly Dao realm in the world is Old Xuan!

Now that there is a second person, isn't Feng Shen Temple panicked?

…

Nangong Palace, a spacious main hall.

Honglian glared at the old butler who was bowing his head, blushing and angrily yelled: "It's been half a month, and you still haven't found my brother? I really don't understand why dad used you so much in the first place, you are simply a waste!"

"I……"

The old housekeeper wanted to cry but had no tears.

Now the palace has very few manpower, and the secret guards who used to be responsible for his management are now dying and running away, and not a single one is left.

Even if he wanted to find out the location of Nangong Liucheng, he would still be unable to do so.

But this eldest lady didn't even consider the current situation of the palace, and actually said such hurtful words.

Recalling the prince's clear distinction between rewards and punishments and his compassion for his servants, and looking at the eldest lady now, the old housekeeper burst into tears.

Seeing the old housekeeper so sad, Honglian sympathized with him.

It stands to reason that the old housekeeper who risked his life to return to the palace was already the biggest contributor, but she sympathized with him and had to pretend to be Nangong Yiyun's arrogance.

"Cry, cry, cry, an old man in his forties can cry like a woman in one day, get out! I don't want to see you now!"

Honglian turned around silently, groaned, and cursed angrily.

Hearing this, the old housekeeper burst into tears, bowed to her, and left the hall respectfully.

…

Nangong Prince's Mansion is carefully managed by the old housekeeper. Although there are not many people in the palace, every maidservant is diligent and hard-working, and they can be considered as keeping the Prince's Mansion in order.

Of course, when everyone was sweating and busy, Honglian and Jingyuan acted like normal people, strolling around the palace every day, fluttering with butterflies and flowers, and having a lot of mindless fun.

at night.

Honglian and Jingyuan were the only two people left in the main hall.

Taking off her tired disguise, Hong Lian sighed helplessly: "Those people in Nangong Palace are so pitiful. I can't bear to hurt them."

"Alas! I can't bear it, but there is no other way. We must execute the order and fish out Nangong Liucheng. This is more important than anything else!" Jing Yuan's eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

"Okay! But it's been half a month, and there's been no movement from Nangong Liucheng, and there's been no movement from Phoenix Temple. Could it be that they've discovered that I'm a fake, right?"

"No, the sect master has placed secret guards around the palace. As long as there are suspicious people, they will definitely not escape from the sect master's sight. We just need to wait patiently. I think for the current situation of the palace, the Phoenix Temple and Nangong Liu The city should be more anxious than us."

"You, don't be too naive~" A figure suddenly appeared in the hall like a ghost.

"Sister Qiuyu!" Honglian and Jingyuan were startled.

Looking at Jing Yuan's puzzled look, Yang Qiuyu muttered: "Elder brother, he said that Nangong Liucheng is an extremely thoughtful person, and his strategy is not even inferior to that of the elder brother. If he wants to lure out such an enemy, he will not sacrifice anything." It’s not enough to be patient.”

"Is that Nangong Liucheng really that powerful?" Jingyuan and Honglian were both curious.

They had only heard that Nangong Liucheng was a Heavenly Spirit Walker from Shengtian Academy, but had never seen it with their own eyes.

In this regard, Yang Qiuyu also shook his head: "I don't know, but since the senior brother said that he is a very difficult opponent, then it must be!"

"Okay, then let's compete to see who is more patient!" Hong Lian snorted refusing to admit defeat.

She has never met Nangong Liucheng, but when it comes to patience, she has been indifferent since she was a child and doesn't think she will lose to anyone.

The scholar was able to choose her as the protagonist of this mission because he took a fancy to her merits.

…

Time passes day by day.

Another half month passed in a flash.

It's midsummer and it's a little hotter.

Notices for the palace to recruit servants were all over the streets and alleys of Cangzhou. No matter how high the remuneration was, no one dared to come and answer the call.

The palace seems peaceful, but everyone knows that the enemy is coming!

The spacious gate of the palace has always been kept open. Only one guard with a sword is still guarding the door in front of the scorching sun, dripping with sweat.

The hot ground was already steaming due to the scorching sun. At some point, a figure appeared on the deserted street.

It was a burly man with a bald head and a scar on his face.

When the palace guards saw the big man walking towards them, their eyes were filled with horror.

What he was afraid of was not the man's scar, but the robe he was wearing.

A red robe with a dazzling phoenix pattern printed on it...

"F-Feng Temple people are here——"

The guard came to his senses and ran towards the house, shouting as he ran.
