“With whom?” Ji Fengyan was stunned.

Fourth Princess shrank back a little. “Your ex-fiance.”

“Lei Min?”

Ji Fengyan’s eyeballs nearly popped out.

Just how much did the Eldest Princess hate her? She had already executed Lei Min’s father—and Eldest Princess still wanted her and Lei Min to get re-engaged?

Ji Fengyan could clearly see what intentions the Eldest Princess were harboring.

“His Majesty also agreed?” Ji Fengyan asked blandly.

Fourth Princess shook her head. “You are a terminator. and father said that all marriage matters after inheriting the World-Termination-Armour must be discussed with the Grand Tutor first.”

“…” Ji Fengyan thoughts and emotions were in a mess.

“Grand Tutor?”

Why the Grand Tutor again?

If not for the Grand Tutor, she would never have been so targeted by the Eldest Princess.

These two people, Ji Fengyan never wanted to get involved with them ever again.

However…

The more she tried to avoid them, the more deeply entangled she ended up.

Observing that Ji Fengyan was in a troubled state, Fourth Princess asked carefully, “Fengyan, are you not on good terms with your ex-fiance?”

Ji Fengyan gave a weak smile. “I killed his father.”

“…” Fourth Princess was dumbstruck. She had thought it was just the usual lovers’ quarrels between Ji Fengyan and Lei Min. Never would she have imagined… it was actually such a serious and deep-seated grudge.

“Then… then you definitely can’t reconcile with him!”

Ji Fengyan remained silent.

She had never been on good terms with Lei Min to begin with.

“How about… you seek Lord Grand Tutor to discuss this? Although he is quite a distant person, he cares a lot about matters concerning the terminators. If you are unwilling, you can tell Lord Grand Tutor and he might help you out.” Fourth Princess suggested.

However…

Ji Fengyan’s expression did not improve at all.

Seek help from Xing Lou?

Ji Fengyan instantly thought back to that night in the restaurant. Xing Lou’s sudden kiss jumbled up her thoughts all over again.

Unaware of the underlying reason, Fourth Princess thought Ji Fengyan was just intimidated by Xing Lou’s sternness. She continued to persuade her.

Unknowingly, Qin Muyao had overheard their entire conversation. Standing by the bed and frowning in Ji Fengyan’s direction, Qin Muyao’s expression flickered.

“Brother?” Liu Ruse called out softly, having noticed Qin Muyao’s line of sight.

Qin Muyao gazed at Liu Ruse, his brows relaxing a little.

“What’s the matter?” Liu Ruse asked.

Qin Muyao shook his head. “Nothing.”

Liu Ruse had her suspicions but remained silent.

Ji Fengyan was in a fluster, feeling extremely troubled just thinking of how she was the target of Eldest Princess’ anger just because of that Xing Lou. She couldn’t care less about any of the family clans, regardless of whether it was the Lei family or the Ji family, but the Eldest Princess was part of the royal family. Standing right behind her was the Emperor himself. Unless Ji Fengyan was prepared to pack up her things and leave for good, she really couldn’t use force to resolve this dilemma.

However…

Making her enter a re-engagement with Lei Min?

Might as well just order a casket for Lei Min.

Fourth Princess nagged on for quite a while without receiving any response from Ji Fengyan. Worrying over this, she decided to report to the Emperor of Liu Ruse’s recovery and Ji Fengyan’s miraculous skills; All to keep Ji Fengyan by her side and realize her own Terminator dreams.

As a result…. she currently dared not speak another word.
