Chapter 963: Waiting for the Book

Ning Shu dragged Shangguan Qingrou with her as she retreated out of the room. Originally she had planned to let Shangguan Qingrou go and start running, but when she saw how dark Xuan Xiaotian’s expression was—intense murderous intent was radiating off him and his gaze was extremely cold as he looked at her—she knew that he was determined to kill her today.

In this situation, there was no way she could let Shangguan Qingrou go. She revolved her energy, then turned and jumped over the wall with Shangguan Qingrou.

However, Ning Shu felt that Shangguan Qingrou really was a little heavy.

“Pursue.” Xuan Xiaotian’s face was completely cold as he took the initiative to chase after Ning Shu.

“Let go of me!” Shangguan Qingrou struggled nonstop. Meanwhile, Ning Shu was struggling to stay calm as an air of death seemed to close in on her from behind. Her hairs rose on end.

So when Shangguan Qingrou kept causing a ruckus like this, she became pretty annoyed and directly karate chopped her neck to knock her out. Following that, she shifted Shangguan Qingrou onto her shoulder and headed straight for the third prince’s residence.

She could feel that the people behind her were getting closer. The other party’s speed was very fast. Ning Shu revolved the energy in her dantian and increased her speed.

She was still too weak, seriously too weak.

Xuan Xiaotian wanted to eliminate her. He didn’t want any of Xuan Hongyu’s subordinates to be by Shangguan Qingrou’s side. The current Xuan Xiaotian had already come to think of Shangguan Qingrou as his woman, a woman that others should give up trying to get a share of.

The fact that Xuan Hongyu had been able to give Shangguan Qingrou a hidden guard indicated that their relationship was beyond that of normal. If he killed this hidden guard, he could ruin Shangguan Qingrou’s relationship with Xuan Hongyu.

Whenever someone of the imperial clan did something, it always contained hidden motives.

Ning Shu felt like her dantian was about to rip. Wanting to escapefrom the four quite strong hidden guards and the also quite skilled Xuan Xiaotian really wasn’t easy.

Ning Shu did want to set Shangguan Qingrou down to run by herself, but even if she set down Shangguan Qingrou now, the people behind her still wouldn’t let her off, so it was better to keep ahold of Shangguan Qingrou as a trump card.

She saw that she was about to reach the third prince’s residence, so she placed her fingers by her lips and gave a loud sharp whistle.

This was the method the hidden guards from the base used to communicate in pressing situations.

Several black figures immediately jumped out from the third prince’s residence and headed towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu said, “Help me fend them off for now. I’m going to look for Master.”

Ning Shu was relieved to see these people. She carried Shangguan Qingrou into the residence and headed to Xuan Hongyu’s study. His study was still lit.

Ning Shu knew that Xuan Hongyu was waiting for her to bring him the book today. He wanted to know what Shangguan Qingrou did today.

But today, she had brought the actual person.

Ning Shu knocked on the door. Xuan Hongyu said coldly, “Enter.”

Ning Shu pushed open the door and entered. She saw that the ground was covered with papers. The same person was on each page; it was all Shangguan Qingrou. Shangguan Qingrou’s every movement, every glance, every smile.

Currently, Xuan Hongyu was still drawing. He didn’t even lift his head when Ning Shu entered and said coldly, “Tonight?”
