The Princess Cannot Escape: The Cunning Prince Is Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 306 Dream

"Master!" Mu Chengjun never expected that his plan was about to be completed, but now the Master of the Manor has come to interfere.

Mu Chengjun's expression changed. Wasn't this manor lord in the palace? Now that she wanted to obtain the divine artifact, he suddenly appeared. He had just been appointed; what power could he possibly have?

"I am Elder Gu, the personal guard of the manor lord. I apologize for being late." Lou Yu walked directly to Elder Gu and bowed to him.

"It's alright, I knew you would come back. Xiao Nan wouldn't let anything happen to me," Elder Gu said with a smile. At this moment, he was completely relieved. Now, he only hoped that he could live a good life with Meng Sheng.

Gu Changxi's expression was not good. Although she thought that Elder Gu would definitely make some preparations to protect Mengsheng, she did not expect that the person who came would be Gu Lounan's subordinate.

Just when Xiahou Ying and Yin Quan thought this opportunity was going to be wasted, more black figures suddenly appeared and rescued the kidnapped shadow guards while the others were off guard.

"I knew you wouldn't abandon me. I really don't know where they came from. I was so close to getting them." Mu Chengjun was behaving very strangely at this moment. She seemed to be afraid of something, even more nervous than when her plans were disrupted.

But clearly, there's no one here except the Shadow Guards, and the Shadow Guards are her subordinates, so what is she afraid of?

"You piece of trash! You said you needed time, and I gave you so much time, yet you still can't finish. What use are you to me?" A strange voice rang out in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

Yin Quan felt that the voice was very familiar, somewhat similar to Dongfang Bubai's voice, neither male nor female, sounding like the voice of a ghost crawling out of hell.

It seems there's someone behind Mu Chengjun, someone who's controlling everything and also wants to obtain this divine artifact.

"Master, I have truly not failed you. It's just that the newly appointed lord of the manor is so arrogant and reckless that he's causing trouble. Please give me a little more time, and I will definitely hand over the divine artifact to you." Mu Chengjun's voice trembled, and her body trembled as she spoke to the heavens, pleading.

"A piece of trash is a piece of trash. We shouldn't have shown any compassion back then." The voice stopped abruptly, and then a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared, slamming Mu Chengjun to the ground.

Mu Chengjun lay motionless on the ground, her earlier arrogance long gone. Blood trickled from her mouth, indicating she was seriously injured.

"As long as you leave obediently and don't meddle in other people's business, I won't make things difficult for you." As soon as he finished speaking, the guards who were originally following Lou Yu all ran away.

Only Gu Changxi, Elder Gu, Meng Sheng, and Mu Chengjun, who had already fallen into a coma, remained.

A black figure appeared before them. They couldn't see the person's face clearly, and he exuded an aura of death. He just stood there quietly.

At this point, everyone was confused about the situation. What exactly was going on? Could this be the person behind Mu Chengjun?

But to everyone's surprise, the shadow guards suddenly lined up neatly, and then that person stood in front of them, calling out to Elder Gu, Gu Changxi, and Meng Sheng, "Master!"

Yin Quan's mouth was wide open. What was going on? What kind of melodramatic plot was this?

Xiahou Ying, standing beside him, was also filled with incomprehension. He looked down at Gu Changxi and Elder Gu, whose faces were filled with disbelief.

Only... only Meng Sheng, who had been sitting by the bed resting the whole time, had no expression on his face. Could it be that the true master of the Shadow Guard is Meng Sheng?

When Yin Quan discovered this, she could hardly believe her eyes. Could such a seemingly harmless young man really be the master of the Shadow Guard?

But thinking about it, aren't Chong Sheng and Baili Yuan the same? They look harmless on the outside, but their backgrounds are actually much more complicated than you might imagine.

"Father, I'm sorry." Mengsheng's voice was no longer so innocent and harmless; instead, it carried a hint of coldness.

"Why? Who are you?" Elder Gu didn't want to believe what he was seeing. He just wanted to be with his child and make up for what he had done to him, but fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him.

“You are indeed my father, but I am not as simple and ignorant as you see me. You also saw the Shadow Guard; he is mine.” Meng Sheng stood up, his face showing no trace of the poisoning he had suffered.

"That means she was also arranged by you. Why did you do that?" Elder Gu really felt old. He just couldn't understand why such a thing had happened.

"Let me tell you why." A familiar voice appeared at that moment.

This was the very person who had caused a scene at the banquet on the day of the celebration. Yin Quan had always felt that this person had some connection with Meng Sheng, and this incident confirmed her suspicions.

“It seems that the people you’re helping to find your relatives this time are really someone important,” Yin Quan said, though he thought it was just a coincidence, while Xiahou Ying shook his head.

“No, we were all part of his plan, we all fell into his trap.” Xiahou Ying’s expression was very solemn.

Upon closer reflection, Yin Quan felt a cold sweat break out all over his body. Indeed, if this person was the master of the Shadow Guard, then it seemed that he was the one who caused all of this.

But why all this? Yin Quan didn't understand either. They could have gone to Elder Gu right away, so why did they have to go around in circles?

But no matter how she thought about it, Yin Quan just couldn't figure out why. She could only listen carefully to how the people below explained it.

"Brother Yu, why did you kill so many people?" Elder Gu was somewhat incredulous that his good brother had also participated in this matter.

“Actually, the Shadow Guard was trained by my master, and he taught me,” Meng Sheng said, looking at Elder Gu as if he were looking at a stranger, not his own father.

“I did all this to fulfill my mother’s dying wish. She did ask me to tell you these things, but what she didn’t know was that I was the one who provided this woman with the power of the Shadow Guard.” Meng Sheng said, looking at Mu Chengjun, who was lying on the ground slowly waking up, with disdain.

"My mother told me to tell you about the schemes of the women around you. If it's for me to stop bothering you, why should I let you live so comfortably?" Yin Quan saw that Meng Sheng wasn't as cold as he seemed on the surface. He just craved his father's love so much that he was like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end.

“Mengsheng, I know I was wrong, but I really didn’t know you existed. If that’s the case, I would definitely go to find you.” Elder Gu was filled with self-reproach. If he had gone to find them, perhaps Mengsheng would still be a simple and lively child.

"If it weren't for Meng Sheng, would you not have looked for Wu Niang?" Yu Daxia couldn't help but complain from the side. This old man was really too selfish, still saying such things now.

That's not what I meant!

"No matter what you mean, the fact is that you didn't come to us, and the fact is that we're living a life worse than death every day, so you should repay all of this." Old Gu's words were interrupted halfway through, and Meng Sheng was extremely tired of Old Gu's explanations.

"As for this woman, I only wanted to play with her and use her to get rid of some people. I promised my mother that my injuries would not be stained with anyone's blood, including this woman's." Meng Sheng glared fiercely at Mu Chengjun lying on the ground. She had already regained consciousness, but the current situation was very unfavorable for her.

Mu Chengjun never dreamed that this child was actually the master who provided her with the Shadow Guard force. They were enemies, and now she was doomed to die.

"Child, I believe your mother in heaven wouldn't want you to be like this." Old Master Gu still hoped that this child could stay away from these things and be happier.

"What do you know? To fulfill my promise to Mother, I wandered the streets again. Several times I passed by you, but you didn't recognize me. When I went to find you, you had people beat and kick me." Meng Sheng said, his anger rising. Was this how a father should act?

"Your mother said you were a great hero, but what you did made you nothing more than a coward." Meng Sheng had already lost his mind. Even after experiencing those pains and forging his indifference, he was still just a child.

He also longed to be loved by his father, and it was normal for him to be angry with his father, which meant that he wasn't that bad.

"Do you know what you did? You gave this woman that bottle of poison, Wuya. It was the first poison I ever knew." Meng Sheng's whole body trembled as he said this. When he learned about this, he vowed to destroy it, to destroy the thing he cherished most.

Meng Sheng's eyes were filled with hatred. Old Master Gu couldn't believe it. That day, he had only told his wife that he had obtained a bottle of poison and, just in case, because it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he was keeping it safe.

Unexpectedly, this poison was used to kill the woman he loved most. Old Master Gu suddenly seemed to lose his will to live. He really didn't know how he should repay these debts, how to face Meng Sheng now, or how to face Wu Niang after death.
