Chapter 58: Blood Feast Canyon
Han Moxi and other n.o.ble officials looked back and couldn’t help but laugh in secret. The Third Princess really was extremely unruly!
They truly had no idea how the Emperor of Nanli raised her!
Han Moze furrowed his brows in curiosity. He turned his head and shot a glance back at Ouyang Yaoyi, then scoffed coldly in annoyance.
The word “Moron” was a good match for the Third Princess!
…
It took Liu Rushuang and Qing’Er two days to reach the centre of a wide canyon in North Nanli.
There were cliffs all around the canyon with all kinds of trees and animals on the clifftops.
But besides these, there were also enchanted diversionary circles all around the canyon.
The average person definitely couldn’t simply enter!
Liu Rushuang and Qing’Er entered through the secret pa.s.sageways, avoided various kinds of secret traps, and into the canyons.
Besides a few houses, all the other areas were training grounds.
There were many people dressed in black with embroidered Datura flowers, competing in martial arts, archery, and horse racing…
Most people were orphans with only one objective – to complete their missions.
Liu Rushuang looked over at the people in training and reminisced.
She was originally an a.s.sa.s.sin in her past life, so she left the monastery at five years old just to find this place. However, at the time, this place was impossible for her to find.
One evening, she stopped a silver masked a.s.sa.s.sin and told him that she wanted to be an a.s.sa.s.sin.
That person clearly was unwilling to do so, so she quickly rushed over to that man dressed in black and hugged his legs.
No matter how he kicked her, she never let go.
Finally, that person couldn’t stand it anymore and carried her to the headquarters of Blood Feast.
“Welcome back, milady,” said the four men dressed in black respectfully.
“Rise,” said Liu Rushuang with a cold voice. She had a leader’s air of prestige all around her.
She became the new appointed leader, after she pa.s.sed all kinds of tests two years ago and defeated the previous leader.
As the leader, she could mobilise every person here at will.
“Take me to the dungeons,” she immediately ordered.
“Yes, milady,” replied the man dressed in black respectfully.
“Young Miss, why do you want to go to the dungeons?” Asked Qing’Er.
Liu Rushuang grinned, as her eyes unleashed a murderous aura from her eyes. With one glance at Qing’Er, she smiled wickedly and said, “You’ll know when we get there.”
“Ok,” Qiing’Er giggled in response and followed her.
She figured that there most probably were people from the Minister’s manor locked up there!
When the dungeon gates opened, there were traces of blood everywhere and many a.s.sa.s.sins receiving punishment for having failed to complete their missions.
As they reached the very end, they saw Madam Liu and Mama Zhao locked up in a cell.
The two of them were filthy as can be and asleep on a bed of hay.
“Young Miss, when did you capture them here? This is great!” Exclaimed Qing’Er in joy when she saw the people in the cell.
The two of them often thought of ways to bully the Young Miss, so she wanted to get revenge ages ago.
Madam Liu heard Qing’Er’s voice and immediately sat up, crawled up to the cell gates, and yelled angrily. “Wench! You dare treat me like this? By doing this, aren’t you afraid the minister will bring you to justice? … No… It should be dismemberment!”
Liu Rushuang’s gaze was serene but as cold as ice when she looked at the fl.u.s.tered and hate-filled expressions on their faces. Then, she pulled a wicked smile. This was exactly the result she wanted.
“Bring them out!” Cried Liu Rushuang emotionlessly.
“W-w–what are you doing?” Said Madam Liu who stubbornly tried to stay calm.
Behind her, Mama Zhao’s whole body was already trembling in fear.
What should she do? She was just a servant without any background at all.
Liu Rushuang didn’t bother with Madam Liu’s question, but turned around, walked to the lobby where they interrogated prisoners and sat on the seat of honour.
