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

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Su Qingning hurriedly ran out of the room and followed him. Xie Yichen wanted to hold her back, but met Manager Xie at the door and was delayed for a while.

When he chased out again, Su Qingning and the man in the black cloak had disappeared.

"Fuck!" Xie Yichen cursed irritably, his face showing a bit of anxiety. "Where did you run off to?"

When Mo Lintian and the other three came out of the Seven Star Auction House, they saw Xie Yichen looking around anxiously in the crowd, as if he was looking for someone. The four of them didn't understand why, so they walked over.

"Xie Fox, what are you looking for?" Qi Runyu asked puzzledly.

Hearing the voice, Xie Yichen turned around. When he saw Mo Lintian and the other three, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and he quickly asked, "Lintian, have you seen Aning?"

The four of them looked at each other, and Tang Jinan asked, "Aning? But that little brother you just recognized, Achen? Didn't he leave with you?"

"That's right, but later..." Xie Yichen recounted what happened after he and Su Qingning left.

After hearing this, the four of them finally understood what was going on.

"So, the man in the black cloak is the one who sent the fox fur, and Brother Aning went after him alone?" Tang Jinan asked.

"Yes." Xie Yichen nodded solemnly. "I'm worried because she's alone. Looking at Aning's appearance, she's only about ten years old, still a child. How can she fight against an adult?"

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but feel a little worried. A ten-year-old child should have just started practicing, and his cultivation level is probably not very high. If he faces an adult practitioner alone, it would be very dangerous.

"Well...actually, you don't have to worry too much." Qi Runyu saw everyone's worried expressions and spoke to them comfortingly, "Didn't Aning just say that? She's a summoner, and her summoned beast is the child of the mythical seven-tailed red fox. Even if her summoned beast isn't a mythical beast, it's at least a sacred beast! It's definitely capable of protecting her."

Qi Runyu thought that his words of comfort would put everyone at ease, but after hearing his words, the worries on Xie Yichen and others' faces did not diminish in the slightest.

"But Ah Yu, have you ever thought about what would happen if that man in the black cloak was really the one who killed the sacred beast Seven-Tailed Red Fox?" Tang Jinan looked at Qi Runyu and asked, "Do you think that someone who can kill a sacred beast can't kill a ten-year-old child and a sacred beast?"

Qi Runyu was stunned by the question. He finally understood why others were so worried, and he began to worry a little now; although it was just a friend he had just met, Xie Yichen had already recognized Su Qingning as his younger brother, so they would naturally treat her as their younger brother sincerely.

Now that their younger brother might be in danger, how could they, as his older brothers, not worry?

"What should we do now? Isn't Aning in danger?" Qi Runyu couldn't help but blame Xie Yichen anxiously, "Xie Fox, since you took Aning away, why don't you have confidence in her? How could you let her chase someone alone? Is there any brother like you?"

Facing Qi Runyu's accusations, Xie Yichen rarely refuted him, nor did he confront him as usual.

Because he felt very guilty now, he suddenly felt a little regretful. Maybe he shouldn't have taken Su Qingning to that room, and he shouldn't have told her who sent the fox fur.

"Alright, stop arguing," Mo Lintian said softly. He raised his head and looked towards the outside of the city. He calmly analyzed, "Aning's goal is to avenge her summoned beast, so she will definitely fight with the other party, but they probably won't do it inside the city."

At this hour, it was the busiest time of the night. If someone rashly took action in the city, it would definitely cause a sensation; but now the city was very quiet and there was no sound of fighting.

Then there are only two possibilities, either they haven't fought yet, or they have left the city.

"I'll go outside the city and take a look."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yichen had already run towards the outside of the city. The others looked at each other and followed him.

At this moment, just as Mo Lintian had guessed, Su Qingning had already followed the man in the black cloak out of the city.

A quarter of an hour ago, Su Qingning followed the man in the black cloak and left the Seven Star Auction House. She did not hide her presence and deliberately let the other party know that she was being followed.

Su Qingning's purpose in doing this was very simple. She just wanted to force the other party to go out of the city so that she could subdue the other party without any scruples and then torture him to extract a confession.

After the man in black found that he could not get rid of Su Qingning no matter what, he did as she wished and walked towards the outside of their city.

In this way, Su Qingning, Mo Lintian and others left the city one after another.

Thirty miles outside the imperial capital is a vast mountain range.

The man in the black cloak ran quickly into the vast mountains and stopped near the center.

"Sir, you've been following me for so long, it's time for you to show up!"

The man in the black cloak turned around, and his eyes hidden under the hood looked coldly at the dark mountains in front of him, his gaze accurately fixed on a tree a few meters away.

A moment later, a thin figure walked out from behind the tree. Su Qingning slowly walked into the moonlight, completely exposing herself to the other person's sight.

When he saw clearly who was following him, the man in the black cloak was obviously stunned.

"Child?" His voice was full of surprise and confusion, with a hint of shame.

The man in the black cloak never expected that the person following him would be a kid about ten years old, which made him feel that his previous nervousness was a joke.

"Hey, little brat, are you looking for death? How dare you follow your grandfather? Believe it or not, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the monsters!" The man in the black cloak cursed angrily.

Su Qingning ignored the other party's insults. She looked at him calmly and said in a cold voice, "I came here... to ask you a question."

"Get lost!" the man in the black cloak said impatiently, "I don't have time to play Q&A with you. If you want to play, go back to your mother and leave me alone!"

Su Qingning seemed to have not heard the words of the man in the black cloak. Her expression did not change at all. She asked, "How did you get that fiery red fox fur at the auction tonight?"

Seeing that Su Qingning ignored him, the man in the black cloak became angry. He cursed viciously: "You little bastard, don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to get out!"

"If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude to you!" After the man in black said this, he rolled up his sleeves in frustration, revealing his thick wrists, acting as if he was going to teach Su Qingning a lesson.

He thought that this would scare Su Qingning, but he didn't know that his behavior was quite childish in Su Qingning's eyes.

"You won't tell me?" Su Qingning narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashed across them, and her voice was as cold as the eighteen levels of hell. "You will be willing to tell me."
