After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

"Give it back to you?" Luo Hanfeng sneered. "Since when did Xie Xing become yours?"

He looked at Jun Lanjin with cold eyes: "If you were the one living in my body, would she still be so indulgent towards you?"

"In the end, you're just taking advantage of your status."

The more Luo Hanfeng spoke, the colder his gaze became. His inner energy surged within him, causing his robes to rustle in the wind.

"Why?"

"Why are you born with everything? Status, appearance, and even she treats you differently."

"Why am I the chosen one, yet I have to endure so much injustice!"

Jun Lanjin looked at Luo Hanfeng with a calm expression: "Judging from your current state, even if I were to stay in your body, I could still make her treat me specially."

Do you think the difference between you and me is merely this face and your status?

"Isn't that right?" Luo Hanfeng couldn't stand it anymore. His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his inner strength surged in his hands.

Now that we've already clashed with Jun Lanjin, let's just let him die right here!

The atmosphere of bloodlust arose in that instant.

It's unclear who made the first move, but the two of them burst forth from the treetops at the same time.

The speed and force were so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone to react in time.

This time, both of them were determined to kill.

The weapons in their hands were no longer effective enough for them, after both of their weapons were smashed to pieces.

The two discarded their weapons and began hand-to-hand combat.

Both of them moved with incredible speed, their powerful internal energy exploding around them.

Upon seeing this, the guards on both sides all stopped and moved away from the two men.

They hadn't expected that their master's martial arts skills were so terrifying, capable of fighting on par with their own master.

Hua An was getting a little anxious.

The prince's injuries have not yet fully healed; using such powerful internal energy might only worsen his condition.

but--

Where is Miss Xie?

Hua An turned around and searched around, but couldn't find Xie Xing.

Finished!

Miss Xie has disappeared.

Hua An quickly found Qi Yu, who was secretly searching for Xie Xing, and said, "Quickly, use your Gu, let's go find Miss Xie."

Qi Yu quickly released his Gu.

Meanwhile, when Jun Lanjin and Luo Hanfeng truly clashed, both were astonished at how powerful the other's internal energy and martial arts were.

But soon, Jun Lanjin discovered that Luo Hanfeng also had injuries.

He distanced himself from Luo Hanfeng, stepped onto the ground, and slammed his toes into the earth. He channeled his powerful inner force into the ground, and the airflow rippled outwards from Jun Lanjin, instantly blasting Luo Hanfeng away.

Luo Hanfeng was unable to dodge in time and crashed heavily into the tree behind him.

It knocked down several trees before finally collapsing to the ground like a rag.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of black blood onto the ground.

As soon as Jun Lanjin lifted his toes, Luo Hanfeng's bodyguards all stood in front of him, protecting him behind them.

Jun Lanjin paused, his hands behind his back. He looked at Luo Hanfeng with cold, merciless eyes and said, "I will say it again: return Xie Xing to me."

"Cough cough cough." Luo Hanfeng was helped up. He clutched his chest and laughed, "Does she know how you put on this pretentious act in front of her?"

"Everyone knows that Prince Jin is ruthless and has countless lives on his hands, yet he pretends to be a gentleman in front of her."

"You look disgusting."

"The way you act in front of her is just a setup, to gain her sympathy, to make her think you're harmless and a good person. In reality, you're someone she would never dare to let her know what you're like behind her back."

“Luo Hanfeng.” Jun Lanjin looked at Luo Hanfeng as if he were a dead man. His lips were pressed together and his fists were clenched. After a while, he laughed: “No matter how much you pretend, I am still willing to put in the effort for Xie Xing to fall in love with me.”

"Unlike the Seventh Prince, who shed so many tears and pleaded so many times, did he manage to soften her heart even a little?"

"When I slept in the same bed with Xie Xing, holding hands and gazing at each other under the flowers and moon, where was His Highness the Seventh Prince?"

"I'm afraid I can only ever be envious."

Putting aside everything else, Junlan Jin's mouth is always enough to drive people crazy.

At least Luo Hanfeng's internal injuries have worsened due to anger.

He snorted coldly: "Is that so? Then let's see if Prince Jin can still enjoy romantic moments with Xie Xing during this time."

"If Xie Xing were to give birth to my child, would Your Highness still be able to enjoy romantic moments with Xie Xing under the moon and flowers?"

"Hahahaha!"

Luo Hanfeng burst into laughter.

Jun Lanjin's lips curled into a smile. Just as he was about to make another move, the guards beside Luo Hanfeng, seeing that things were not going well, immediately fired a smoke bomb.

The thick smoke instantly blurred everyone's vision.

After the smoke dissipated, Luo Hanfeng and the others could no longer be seen.

The guards around Jun Lanjin tried to rush forward, but Jun Lanjin stopped them with a gesture.

He clutched his chest, let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his lips.

"Even if we chase after them now, we won't be able to find them."

"Your Highness, Hua An has taken Qi Yu to pursue them," the guard beside him said.

Jun Lanjin felt agitated and confused, as if things were out of his control.

He recalled Xie Xing's helpless look at him at the end, and then he remembered the words Luo Hanfeng said before leaving.

He clenched his fists, his anger finding no outlet, and with a final blow, he slammed his fist into a large tree not far away.

In an instant, the century-old tree collapsed with a crash.

Jun Lanjin underestimated Luo Hanfeng's obsession with Xie Xing.

Like Xie Xing, he couldn't understand what Luo Hanfeng was so fixated on regarding Xie Xing.

Xie Xing didn't fawn over Luo Hanfeng the same way he did over him.

This girl claims to like him, but she's really just lusting after his looks. She keeps calling him "Your Highness," but her actions are increasingly audacious.

He has done many things that offended him.

When Xie Xing was around, Jun Lanjin didn't notice anything amiss. He only felt that this girl was somewhat annoying, and that her approach to him was merely a calculated move.

Everything she did was simply to gain his favor so she could go home in the end.

Even so, Jun Lanjin still couldn't help but fall in love with Xie Xing.

I don’t know when.

He either indulged the girl's audacity, listened to her sweet words, or did everything she could to please him.

The first time she lost control of her heart and became agitated was because the secret guard lost track of her for the first time. She ended up going to the battlefield with the army and becoming Chao Le's concubine.

After that incident, Jun Lanjin admitted that he did care about this little girl to some extent.

But that's only a small part; it won't hinder his ultimate goal.

But this time——

Jun Lanjin's eyes reflected an unprecedented killing intent.

Since it's already his, why bother trying to take it from him?
