Chapter 61

The State of Shang was prosperous and peaceful, while the capital city was bustling with activity.

At the entrance of the city, there were two princes in white robes and General Leng. Behind them stood a group of guards and some officials.

From far away, he could see the two carriages approaching. Even from afar, he could tell that the carriage was exquisite and luxurious, not to mention that the guards following behind were extremely forceful.

When the carriage came to a stop not far from Shang Wuxin, Shang nodded towards the carriage, “Welcome, my lord, for your journey!” Without the tedious phrasing and fleeting probing, the straightforward and efficient way to make people comfortable.

“Prince Shang, I’ve heard of your great name!” The man’s melodious zither voice faintly rang out, accompanied by a suffocating pressure that suddenly pressed down on the crowd. In an instant, it vanished without a trace, as though it had never existed. But even so, no one dared to underestimate this Prince Qian, and Shang Wuxin did not seem to notice the pressure just now.

Nangong Qian, who was in the carriage, lifted the curtain slightly and looked at Prince Shang, who was sitting on the horse …

He had come to Shang to pick up his younger sister, but he was afraid that something would happen along the way, so he personally came. He had originally planned to return immediately after finding his younger sister. However, he suddenly realized that his younger sister was different. She was much stronger and calmer than his older sister. Facing the crowd, his sister would fearlessly take off her veil, full of confidence and vitality. Such a younger sister made Nangong Qian feel gratified, but at the same time he felt it was strange. After questioning her, he began to recount the last things that he had encountered from the beginning to the end.

After hearing his sister’s narration, Nangong Qian had a trace of curiosity towards Prince Shang. Furthermore, he only had his sister as a relative in this world. When he was young, he had caused his sister to be disfigured by the evil person because he failed to protect her. This matter had always made Nangong Qian feel guilty. However, he was a person who was not good with words. Furthermore, even his younger sister only cared a little about him, which resulted in his younger sister’s eccentric personality. Now, this Prince Shang had not only saved his sister, but had also eased the knot in her heart. No matter what, Nangong Qian had also accepted this debt. Although he was well aware that Prince Shang did not have any good intentions, so what?

He clearly knew from his sister that this young man’s appearance was peerless, and he had his own special qualities. Even though Nangong Qian never paid attention to his appearance, he knew from the praise from the outside world that his appearance was one of the best on the continent. However, even though his heart had already been built, Nangong Qian could not help but praise Prince Shang’s beauty when he saw it!

Prince Shang floated out of the world. His beautiful features did not resemble those of a monster. Instead, he was like a snow lotus at the edge of a cliff. His beauty was noble and elegant. Under the midday sun, the youth’s jade-like face looked incomparably handsome. His pale lips had a hint of an extremely shallow arc. Just by lying there quietly, he seemed as cold and flawless as an immortal in a painting. It was breathtaking.

Nangong Qian’s heart skipped a beat, not because of the youth’s appearance, but because of the pair of eyes. The youth had a pair of bottomless eyes that were cold and distant, without even the slightest bit of sunlight in them. At this moment, Nangong Qian did not know what love at first sight was, but in the following years, he understood that from the first time he saw those eyes, his heart began to sink.

“Prince Shang, the sun is setting outside, let’s go in the carriage and have a chat!” Nangong Lian asked with a smile as she lifted the driving curtain with her veil. She also attracted the attention of Shang Wuxin who was about to look at Nangong Qian.

When Nangong Lian saw Prince Shang, she always felt very friendly. This youth was clearly not a good person, but in Nangong Lian’s heart, he was the best person. If not for Nangong Lian clearly knowing that she was not tempted, she would have mistaken him for loving this young man.

When everyone heard Nangong Lian’s words, they all had different expressions. Although the restrictions on females in the continent weren’t that harsh. However, as a woman, she was still asked to be reserved, and her status was still very low. Now that the princess of a country had invited the crown prince of another country into the carriage under the gazes of the crowd, everyone looked at her dubiously. After all, this was an invitation from a beautiful woman and men normally would not refuse.

Leng Yufeng knew who this woman was just by looking at Nangong Lian. Seeing how shameless she was, the aura around Leng Yufeng became even more displeased. However, he stubbornly looked at the crown prince to see what he would do.

Shang Wuxin looked at the mischievous Nangong Lian and knew that she did not have any ill intentions, but her identity was after all the crown prince of a country. If she got too close with Nangong Lian to marry this princess, Shang Wuxin did not plan to marry her for the time being. And now that the emperor’s brother was here, Shang Wuxin did not want to cause trouble for him, but before Shang Wuxin could refuse, Nangong Qian could no longer bear to watch.

Nangong Qian had always known that his little sister was undisciplined, so he had never cared or cared too much about her. However, Nangong Qian was still a little dissatisfied seeing her do this. After all, his sister’s reputation was very important.

“Royal sister is right. Please enter the carriage and have a chat with me!” As for Nangong Lian, she shrunk her neck and retreated back into the carriage in fear. Brother Huang treated her well, but he had always been strict like her father. Nangong Lian also knew how cold-blooded her royal brother was, so she didn’t dare to disobey him. Did Nangong Lian ever think that such a cold-blooded imperial brother would have a warm day?

Only then did Shang Wuxin look at the rumored Prince Qian. The man was sitting in the carriage with his fingers still holding the carriage’s curtain, but this did not stop Shang Wuxin from seeing the man’s face. The man wore a long robe with a purple border. There were no decorations or flourishes to be seen. He exuded an extremely cold aura that prevented humans and animals from getting close to him. Her ink-dappled hair was simply tied back with a hairpin, just like a strand of top-grade silk. It hung down to her chest, and her long hair was straight like a sword, stuck to her back, extending all the way to her waist. Her indifferent face had a devilish appearance. Her deep eagle eyes revealed a faint sharpness within them. Her tall and handsome nose and tightly pressed and thin lips resembled the Wolf King of the Wasteland. She was domineering and proud.

With just a glance, Shang Wuxin could already feel the taste of her own kind. This man was cold-blooded, while he was unintentional. Shang Wuxin also looked this modest prince in the eye, if they were both enemies, they would definitely both suffer.

Shang Wuxin could not help but wonder if the ancient era was really a place where the wind and water nurtured people. She met a few men who were more powerful than her. They seemed to have extraordinary looks. Even if she didn’t care about their looks, who wouldn’t covet beautiful people?

The guard driving outside was somewhat surprised. After all, the only person Prince Shang’s carriage had ever let anyone in besides the princess. It was also because of Prince Shang’s skill that Prince Shang was so highly regarded by him.

Shang Wuxin was about to refuse, but Leng Yufeng, who was beside him, said, “The Crown Prince’s health is not good. Let’s get on the carriage!” Leng Yufeng thought in this way because he felt that the man in the carriage did not mind and the sun was too strong. He was not unwell, but the crown prince’s face had already turned red from the sun so how could he bear to part with him.

In the years to come, Leng Yufeng regretted his actions today and felt that he was a fool!

Just as Shang Wufei was about to refuse, he could feel the killing intent emanating from Nangong Qian in the carriage. This was the first time he had invited a person into his carriage, but Prince Shang was still unwilling to do so. Regardless of whether it was from his face or his eyes, Nangong Qian felt uncomfortable. As for the people that made Nangong Qian uncomfortable, they did not have a good ending.

Shang Wuxin also felt that her face was itchy because she was exposed to the sun. Thus, after greeting Leng Yufeng, they got into Nangong Qian’s carriage. After Shang Wuxin got on the carriage, the group also headed towards the Imperial Palace.

As soon as Prince Shang entered the carriage, Nangong Qian could smell a faint fragrance that was similar to flowers and fruits. No one knew that Nangong Qian’s nose was exceptionally sensitive, hence, Nangong Qian could not smell anything strange from time to time. However, Nangong Qian looked at Prince Shang and was puzzled. How could a grown man be more fragrant than his own imperial sister? If the fragrance wasn’t too good, he would have thrown Prince Shang down.

As soon as Shang Wuxin entered the carriage, she could feel the blood energy emanating from the man. Anyone with such a man would be cautious, afraid that the man would come and bite you to death at any moment. This man gave Shang Wuxin a sense of danger.

There was still some distance to the palace, so Shang Wuxin was bored and picked up the book on the carriage to read. This book was the only book on how to set up the formation on the battlefield. Shang Wuxin looked at it seriously, but he did not know that a serious’ man ‘was the most attractive.

This book was accidentally acquired by Nangong Qian, and because it was not bad, Nangong Qian had been reading it all along. Now he was looking at a place that he did not understand, and seeing Prince Shang pick it up did not stop him, but when Prince Shang turned to the page that he did not understand, Nangong Qian was shocked.

The higher up one was, the higher one would be able to appreciate experts. And right now, Nangong Qian admired this crown prince. Regardless of whether it was his temperament, looks, or literature, this young man was someone Nangong Qian admired. Although Nangong Qian was cold-blooded, he was not proud of himself. He turned to Shang Wuxin and asked, “Does Prince Shang understand?”

Shang Wuxin nodded and continued to watch. Nonsense, if you don’t understand what she was looking at.

When Nangong Qian heard Prince Shang’s words, he knew that he was going to extend his hand out to ask for advice, but he did not expect that when Nangong Qian arrived, Shang Wuxin was preparing to dodge. This way, Nangong Qian’s hand would hold onto the young man’s small and fair hand instead of the book.
