Chapter 218 The Mysterious Relationship Between the Two

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince has arrived. Please leave."

Upon hearing the servant's words, Nan Yaoxian frowned instantly: "Seventh Prince?"

Shouldn't he have gone insane and been locked up for "accidental murder"? Why is he showing up at this time, and even coming to see her?

Nan Yaoxian felt a sense of doubt and did not get up immediately. She asked, "Where are the other protectors?"

The servant said respectfully, "The guardians have already gone ahead."

Nan Yaoxian felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment. Nevertheless, she stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

As she spoke, she turned the Gu whistle on her wrist, so she could avoid danger in time.

As for the protector she mentioned, he was already—

"The King of Nanyue will not let you go..." Before the last great protector could finish saying the word "de," the man twisted his neck with a sudden force, and he fell to the ground dead.

At his feet—Chu Jiang's feet—lay five identical corpses.

Without exception, their necks were twisted, and their faces all wore complex expressions of shock, anger, and terror.

The method of killing alone shows just how furious Chu Jiang is at this moment.

He single-handedly dealt with so many powerful warriors from the Southern Yue region, leaving his guards without even a chance to draw their swords.

Chu Jiang took the silk handkerchief handed to him by his subordinate and wiped his hands. His expression was cold and gloomy, like a demon in the middle of the night.

As Ye Fan passed by, he pretended to "accidentally" step on one of the bodies' faces, and then accidentally kicked away the other two. His actions were so natural that they were hard to describe.

"Your Highness, everyone else has been brought under control. The only thing that hasn't been addressed yet is the Princess of Nan Yue."

Chu Jiang paused in wiping his hands, then looked up, his handsome face now filled with gloom.

To be precise, it wasn't that no one went, but rather that Chu Jiang agreed to Yu Feixian's request and let her go alone.

"Where are they? Weren't they all supposed to have arrived?"

Suppressing her anger, Nan Yaoxian looked at the empty hall. If she hadn't disarmed herself to see the prince, she would have given the servant who led the way a good beating.

"Did not you say……"

With a loud bang, the doors behind her slammed shut at the same time. Nan Yaoxian's heart sank, and she shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Open the doors!"

Just then, a cold female voice came from behind: "Sister, how have you been?"

Her body stiffened slightly. She turned her head and saw a familiar figure. Her gaze swept over the veiled woman, and a mocking smile appeared on her beautiful face again: "You escaped last time, and you still dare to come back? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Yu Feixian calmly said, "You have never been skilled in your craft since you were a child, and you are inferior to me in every aspect. Now that it is just the two of us, why should I be afraid?"

"Who says I'm inferior to you?"

Having her deepest wound touched, Nan Yaoxian found it hard to control her emotions.

Despite being her father's most beloved youngest daughter, Yu Feixian was recognized as the Holy Maiden by the people of Nanyue.

No matter how hard she tries, everyone only sees her.

It wasn't until she betrayed Nan Yue for a man that she seized the opportunity to become the new Holy Maiden, erasing all traces of her past and ensuring that the people of Nan Yue would remember that from then on, Nan Yue would only have one Holy Maiden, and that would be her, Nan Yao Xian!

Even so, she still felt guilty because she knew that her older sister was more outstanding than her.

"Don't you know it yourself? Or do you want me to review it for you here?"

Seeing the woman's aloof and ethereal gaze once again brought back countless memories of nights filled with jealousy and resentment because she couldn't compare to her sister.

"Shut up! Do you think I don't know you're still injured? Since you insist on coming here to die, this Holy Maiden will grant your wish!"

She turned her hands into sharp claws and suddenly attacked Yu Feixian. "The two protectors and three elders have already been killed by the Seventh Prince. If you don't run now, you won't be able to escape."

Just before the claws touched her chest, Yu Feixian suddenly spoke, and Nan Yaoxian was shocked: "How is this possible? They... uh."

Just as Nan Yaoxian was momentarily stunned and exclaimed in surprise, she suddenly made a move, striking Nan Yaoxian's chest acupoints with an extremely complicated finger technique.

Nan Yaoxian's eyes were wide open, but she was frozen in place, unable to move at all.

This is a special finger technique known only to the royal family of Nan Yue, and it is a method used only to deal with mortal enemies—sealing the twelve meridians in the opponent's body, locking all the Gu worms in her bloodline so that they cannot come out.

Twelve hours later, the victim will die from the excruciating pain caused by the Gu worms attacking their blood vessels, and the Gu worms will also die along with their master.

This is the most cruel and painful method, and it is rarely used unless the enemy is mortal.

Now, Yu Feixian is using it on his own sister.

"Untie it! Untie it now! Yu Feixian, how dare you treat me like this! Father will not let you get away with this! Untie it!"

A shrill, angry scream came from the room, followed by a series of intense South Vietnamese words that outsiders couldn't understand. Although they couldn't understand the words, they could tell from the intense emotions that they weren't pleasant.

Ye Fan frowned as he looked at the tightly closed door and then at the silent prince beside him. Just as he was hesitating whether to open the door, he heard a creak and the door opened.

A stunningly beautiful woman emerged from inside.

It was actually the princess of Nanyue!

Ye Fan's expression changed immediately. He cursed inwardly that the man surnamed Yu was indeed useless. He drew his long sword sharply and shouted, "Stop! Don't come any closer!"

The woman paused, but her gaze passed over him and fell on the tall, silent man behind her: "I have her under control, and all the Gu worms in her body are locked inside. She won't harm anyone anymore."

As she spoke, she held up a uniquely shaped black stone pendant with both hands, bowed her head and said, "This is the pendant from Nan Yue that can make all kinds of Gu submit. Please accept it, Your Highness."

Ye Fan frowned, glancing warily at the Seventh Prince behind him: "Your Highness, she..."

Chu Jiang finally spoke: "Let her come over."

No one noticed that a glint of light flashed in the woman's lowered eyes, only to disappear quickly.

"But she... is."

The head guard, Ye, who couldn't help but back down after being glared at by his own prince, cursed the Southern Yue people as bastards in his heart. He then sheathed his sword and stepped aside to wait for the woman to come over.

Just as they were passing each other, the woman suddenly spoke: "Nan Yaoxian has temporarily fainted. You can take her away now."

Ye Fan suddenly looked up, staring in astonishment at the woman's exquisitely beautiful profile. An unbelievable thought exploded in his mind:

No, no way, "Yu Feixian" looks exactly like the princess of Nanyue?
He couldn't help but look at his prince, only to find him accepting the woman's offering with excessive calm, seemingly without any surprise.

That's right. His Highness personally brought this eldest princess back to the capital and settled her in personally. It's normal that he has seen what she looks like.

It's possible that this person kept their face covered from the beginning, not showing their true face, just for this very moment.

As he pondered this, he called the others to go in and check if the Princess of Nanyue had truly fainted.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, his surprised gaze sweeping back and forth between the equally calm and aloof man and woman behind him.

No, if he remembered correctly, the veiled holy maiden of Nanyue would marry the first man to see their face.

Your Highness and her... No way?

Is it because she has "believed" in His Highness that she is so cooperative, even willing to betray her own country to help His Highness?

If that's the case, then the strange behavior that has been going on all along can be explained.

And His Highness? Did he acquiesce as well?
If His Highness doesn't admit it, she won't poison him, will she?
