The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

For a moment, the yard was somewhat quiet. Mo Lintian also realized that Su Qingning might have misunderstood his evasive action just now, but he didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He could only change the subject and said self-deprecatingly:

"Xiao Ning'er, where did you find this expert? Not only is his cultivation level high, but he's also ruthless. If you had come out a little later, I'm afraid I would have died here tonight."

"I'll explain this to you later." Su Qingning tried her best to ignore the strange feeling in her heart. She looked at Mo Lintian and asked worriedly, "Are you really okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Why don't you drink this bottle of life potion!" Su Qingning took out a bottle of life potion and stuffed it into Mo Lintian's hand.

Mo Lintian laughed helplessly, "I'm really fine."

Although he said this, seeing the worry in Su Qingning's eyes, Mo Lintian still drank the life potion in his hand.

Seeing Mo Lintian drink the life potion, Su Qingning finally felt relieved. She turned to look at the two God King masters and ordered, "Shadow Five, Shadow Six, everything is fine here, you can retreat first!"

"Yes."

Shadow Five and Shadow Six responded calmly, then disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this scene, Mo Lintian became more and more curious about the identities of Ying Wu and Ying Liu. Analyzing from the situation of the recent fight, the opponent's cultivation was much higher than his, and they should be god-level masters.

Although Su Qingning showed great talent and was taken seriously by everyone in the Su family, based on Mo Lintian's understanding of the five major families, he did not think that the Su family would specially arrange two god-level masters to protect Su Qingning.

Therefore, Shadow Five and Shadow Six are most likely the secret guards hired by Su Qingning herself.

However, she had just returned to the imperial capital not long ago, so where did she find such a god-level master?

Mo Lintian was very curious about this.

"Your Highness Prince Lin, when will you come back?" Su Qingning suddenly asked.

Hearing Su Qingning's question, Mo Lintian came back from his thoughts. He smiled and replied softly, "I came back yesterday afternoon, but I was too tired at the time, so I took a nap. I didn't expect to wake up the next night."

"As soon as I woke up, I rushed to see you, Little Ning'er."

Hearing Mo Lintian say this, Su Qingning's previous unhappiness caused by the other party avoiding her instantly disappeared, and a subtle emotion arose.

Su Qingning raised her head and looked at Mo Lintian, and Mo Lintian happened to be looking at her. Their eyes met unexpectedly, and the air instantly became a little ambiguous. It seemed that something had changed in the relationship between them.

Just as the atmosphere became more and more ambiguous, Su Qingning looked away unnaturally. She whispered, "I thought you wouldn't be able to make it back!"

"How could that be?" Mo Lintian chuckled. He raised his hand and gently ruffled Su Qingning's hair, saying softly and lovingly, "I said I would personally see you contract with Suzaku and take the position of Young Master of the Su Family. I will never break my promise. No matter what the cost, I will come back. Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl to you."

Su Qingning could clearly hear the emotion in Mo Lintian's words. If she still didn't understand the other person's thoughts, then she was not slow, but heartless.

However, Su Qingning was not sure about her feelings towards Mo Lintian. She admitted that Mo Lintian was special in her heart, but she didn't know whether this specialness was because of gratitude or something else. She couldn't tell for the time being.

"Your Highness, Prince Lin, I..."

Su Qingning's tone was full of confusion, and Mo Lintian could hear it. He sighed silently in his heart, thinking that he was too anxious!

"Shh..." Mo Lintian raised his index finger and placed it against Su Qingning's lips. He smiled gently and soothed her, "Dear Ning'er, I understand everything. You don't have to answer me so quickly. When you grow up and are sure of your feelings, tell me the answer. I'll be waiting for you."

Looking at Mo Lintian's gentle eyes and listening to his soothing words, Su Qingning's anxious heart slowly calmed down.

She nodded gently and whispered, "Okay."

……

The next morning, the disciples of the five major families were ready. They gathered at the arena with full fighting spirit, waiting for the head of the family to lead them to the secret trial realm.

The Su family, Liu Ruyan and Su Huaiyang came to Yayuan early in the morning. They had been waiting for this day for a long time and were full of expectations for their daughter Su Jingya.

"Ya'er, you must find a way to contract Suzaku in this trial of the five major families." Su Huaiyang looked at Su Jingya and warned her solemnly. At this time, his words no longer smelled foul, so Liu Ruyan and Su Jingya no longer showed unbearable expressions like before.

However, it is also true that the "Fragrant Breath" poison that Su Qingning put on Su Huaiyang was originally time-limited. Now that three months have passed, the "Fragrant Breath" has naturally lost its effect long ago.

Not only now, Su Jingya's hair that was cut off has also grown back after using hair growth medicine for three months and has returned to its original appearance.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely succeed in contracting Suzaku." Su Jingya said confidently.

However, compared to the confidence of Su Huaiyang and Su Jingya, Liu Ruyan was a little worried.

"Ya'er, why is your cultivation still at the eighth level? You have used so many cultivation resources in the past three months, but you haven't broken through to the next level?" Liu Ruyan frowned, full of confusion.

Su Jingya couldn't figure it out either. She shook her head, her face full of confusion. "I don't know what's going on. Every time I practice, I clearly absorb all the spiritual energy, but my body is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much spiritual energy I absorb, it can't be filled. As a result, I'm stuck at the eighth level and it's difficult to move forward."

Upon hearing this, Su Huaiyang and Liu Ruyan both showed solemn expressions, and Liu Ruyan felt vaguely that this symptom was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment, but she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

"How could this happen?!" Su Huaiyang was shocked and asked quickly, "Have you let the Seventh Elder take a look?"

Su Qingning shook her head, "No."

"Nonsense!" Su Huaiyang glared at him, and said anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such a serious problem with your body?"

"Someone, go and invite the Seventh Elder."

Su Huaiyang shouted and was about to ask someone to invite the Seventh Elder over, but Su Jingya stopped the servant who was about to leave.

She looked at Su Huaiyang and advised softly, "Father, today is the day of the five major family trials, and Grandpa is still waiting for us to go to the training ground! Let's not waste time on this matter, otherwise Grandpa will be angry with us again."
