Chapter 867: Chapter 867: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (9)

Afraid?

Am I afraid of you?

Don’t think you can provoke me and I’ll fall for it.

I won’t!

”If you think so, then it is.” Chuzheng’s indifferent attitude.

”Seventh Imperial Sister.” Ning Yao spoke at the right time, ”Imperial Sister doesn’t want to go, so don’t bother her. Let’s go ourselves.”

”Who’s bothering her?”

The Seventh Princess snorted coldly.

”She’s just a coward!”

The Seventh Princess rode her horse and left like the wind.

Ning Yao shook her head helplessly, glancing at Chuzheng.

She intended to speak to Chuzheng, but the cold demeanor made Ning Yao hesitant.

Finally, she mounted her own horse and left with some people.

Several Scions of Noble Families followed, some were protected by their Guardians and acted alone.

The hunting ground was soon left with only the Imperial Guards.

Chuzheng sat for a while, stood up, and jumped off the platform.

Mu Mian led a horse over, Chuzheng turned over and mounted it.

The hem of her clothes drew a perfect arc in the air, landing on the horseback with a graceful and cool posture.

”Your Highness.”

”Young Master Xu.” Mu Mian curtsied slightly.

The man who came over smiled slightly, ”Greetings to Your Highness.”

Chuzheng tugged at the reins, looking down at the man who resembled a little white flower.

”Would Your Highness take me along?”

Young Master Xu slightly raised his head, revealing a section of his snow-white neck.

Perhaps because he was speaking to Chuzheng, his face showed a trace of blush, a look of pure innocence that women found hard to resist.

His fingers pinched his sleeve, masking his nervousness.

But the more he acted this way, the harder it was to refuse him.

Chuzheng was different.

Chuzheng showed no reaction and coldly refused, ”No.”

Who do you think you are, if you’re not my Good Person Card, why should I take you along?

Young Master Xu: ”...”

Young Master Xu watched helplessly as Chuzheng disappeared, releasing his grip on the sleeves fiercely.

”Young Master Xu, Her Highness has been in a bad mood lately, don’t overthink it.” Mu Mian comforted Young Master Xu while mounting her horse.

This Young Master Xu is clearly here to offer himself.

If Her Highness later finds him appealing, what if she regrets the rejection?

So Mu Mian felt it necessary to explain a bit.

Leave some room for maneuver.

”This... Really, I disrupted Her Highness.” Young Master Xu hung his head, looking somewhat pitiful.

Mu Mian felt awkward, unsure of what to say, she spurred her horse to catch up with Chuzheng.

Her Highness hadn’t been much interested in these noble scions before, but never as cold as now.

How come she’s even reluctant to spare a glance now?

After everyone entered the hunting ground, they gradually spread out.

Ning Yao was together with the Seventh Princess, who shot a deer, and when the Guardian went to pick it up, she urged her horse to move parallel to Ning Yao.

”Third Imperial Sister, don’t you think there’s something off about her?”

”You’re talking about the Eldest Imperial Sister?”

The Seventh Princess curled her lips, ”Who else could it be but her.”

Ning Yao pondered, ”Having been assassinated by an assassin, then coming back to life—it makes sense for Imperial Sister to behave strangely with such experiences.”

Though it’s unclear if these words were meant for the Seventh Princess or for herself.

”She didn’t even argue with you today, don’t you find it odd?” The Seventh Princess hadn’t thought much, ”I provoked her so much, she didn’t react.”

Anyway, the Seventh Princess found it very strange.

Moreover, her own feeling was off.

A bit eerie.

”Third Imperial Sister, do you think she might have actually... been possessed by a ghost?”

With that said, the Seventh Princess shivered.

The wind passed through the forest, rustling the treetops.

The Seventh Princess examined her surroundings, edging closer to Ning Yao.

”Hard to say.” Ning Yao shook her head, expressing nothing.

”Aren’t you usually close to her? Didn’t you notice anything?”

Ning Yao replied helplessly, ”Since she woke up, the times I’ve seen her aren’t that much more than you.”

The Seventh Princess’s eyes twitched twice, ”There’s a Taoist Temple nearby, and we’re staying here for several days. I’ll send someone to invite the Taoist Nun to have a look.”

”You don’t...”

”Come now, Third Imperial Sister, why worry? Just a look won’t do anything. It’ll put our minds at ease, right? It’s decided then.”

The Seventh Princess was confident, she became happy and rode ahead.

Ning Yao’s mouth curled into a mocking smile.

Idiot.

”Follow the Seventh Imperial Sister,” Ning Yao instructed her people behind.

Quickly, only Ning Yao’s people remained in place.

Ning Yao commanded them to leave and walked alone into the forest.

She didn’t realize someone was following her.

Chuzheng was trailing her not far behind.

She had been following Ning Yao for some time.

Ning Yao seemed to just want to walk alone, think about things, without any specific purpose.

Chuzheng took out a bow.

Nocked an arrow, drew the bow...

Swoosh—

The arrow shot towards Ning Yao.

Ning Yao seemed to sense it, sidestepped to avoid, the arrow barely skimming her cheek, embedding in the tree trunk.

Ning Yao’s sharp gaze scanned the direction the arrow came from.

Empty, nothing there.

Who?

Ning Yao dared not lower her guard, vigilantly watching all around, not missing any movement of the grass or the wind.

Just as her nerves tightened, everything suddenly went black in front of her.

”Has anyone seen the Third Princess?”

”Did anyone notice the Third Princess?”

Dusk approached as everyone returned, some with great catch while others empty-handed.

Then came the discovery that Ning Yao was missing.

”No, when we entered, we got separated from the Third Princess.”

”The Seventh Princess was with the Third Princess!” someone remarked.

”Is the Seventh Princess back?”

”Over there.”

Someone pointed towards the woods.

The Seventh Princess burst forth with her people, her face full of triumph, ”Hahaha, look what I got! Tonight, you’ll have a feast!”

Perhaps noticing the odd atmosphere, the Seventh Princess’s smile faded, ”What happened?”

Ning Yao’s people stepped forward, ”Seventh Princess, wasn’t the Third Princess with you?”

”Third Imperial Sister?” The Seventh Princess shook her head, ”We were together earlier, but then we separated. What’s wrong with Third Imperial Sister?”

”We can’t find Her Highness.”

The Seventh Princess was unconcerned, ”The Third Imperial Sister is a grown-up, how could she be lost? She’ll surely be back soon.”

Everyone thought so too.

But as it got darker, Ning Yao didn’t appear.

Even when it was fully dark, surely Ning Yao would know to come back?

The Seventh Princess finally got anxious.

Chuzheng sat on a platform, expression cold, uninterested, indifferent to the commotion.

The Seventh Princess, unable to take it, rushed over, ”Imperial Sister, the Third Imperial Sister is missing, aren’t you worried?”

”What’s the use of me worrying?” Chuzheng posed the question back.

”You...” The Seventh Princess pointed at Chuzheng, ”How can you be so heartless? The Third Imperial Sister always supported you, and this is how you treat her?”

Chuzheng pondered and earnestly nodded, ”I should indeed thank her properly.”

If it wasn’t for this sorry sister, I wouldn’t exist.

The Seventh Princess: ”??”

Speaking nonsense?

Is this the time for thanks?

The Seventh Princess frowned at Chuzheng, inexplicably apprehensive, she turned to shout at the people below, ”What are you standing there for? Go find her! All of you, hurry!”

Everyone was sent out to search for Ning Yao.

They searched all night but couldn’t find her.
