Chapter 99: Leaving a Backup Plan

angye in three days."You are of the marquis' bloodline, the marquis has been generous to you. Now it is your time to repay the king's kindness."She had heard people mention the dying prince, saying he...When Nangong Hua heard this, the expression on her face was simply as if she had eaten a fly and was extremely uncomfortable.

He was stalling, but Ling Ruo couldn't hear it!

He knew Ling Ruo very well, after all, her every thought was written on her face.

Now she threatens him to hand over the Wentian Sword. If he truly refuses and chooses to leave, as long as she cries to Nanchuang King about it, relying on Nanchuang King's love for her, then from now on, he will find it difficult to cooperate with Nanchuang King further.

Nangong Huachou frowned, looking at the Zhentian Sword he held in his hand.

Qingxuan's voice came again from the third floor.

Qingxuan: "Since Your Highness has decided not to give me the sword, there's no need for me to stay here now. The auction will continue, and there are many other things I want to bid on."

Qingxuan's voice came from one place, and the maidservant also began to drive away guests.

The maidservant said: “Master, please.”

Ling, seeing the situation, shouted loudly: "Nan Gong Hua, don't you care about the consequences!"

Qingxuan sat by the window on the third floor, seeing Nangong Hua's legs as if filled with lead, standing in place without any movement.

After a moment, Nangong Hua raised her head and looked at her again.

Nangong Hua was still not giving up, she was still thinking of using other things to replace the Wentian Sword.

"Miss, this sword is truly the best in my heart..."

This time, Qingxuan didn't even give Nangong Hua a chance to finish her words.

"Well, since Your Highness has said so, I naturally won't make things difficult for you. A gentleman doesn't take what others desire. Although I am not a gentleman, whether or not to give it is your own free will. Now that Your Highness is unwilling, then let Princess Lingluo suffer some skin and flesh pains, perhaps she will learn her lesson."

As soon as Qingxuan finished speaking, she realized that Ling Ruo was looking at Nangong Hua with the same hatred-filled gaze one would reserve for a person who had slaughtered their entire family.

Nangong Hua saw this and couldn't help but think to herself, "The woman on the third floor is quite cunning."

He originally intended to retreat in order to advance, but unexpectedly, the other party had grasped Ling Ruo's psychology.

Nan Gong Hua's brows furrowed even deeper.

Who is this woman

Why was she able to so easily control Ling Ru's temperament

Could it be that she knows Ling Ruo

However, now no one gives him much thought.

The servant had walked up to him and made a gesture with his hand, inviting him to come forward.

Ling Ru glared at him with red eyes.

In the end, Nan Gong Hua remained still. Under everyone's gaze, she raised her hand and handed the Questioning Heaven Sword in her hand to the servant boy.

Nangong Hua, in order to appease Ling Ruo's current hatred towards him, he painfully said, "The sword is indeed my favorite, but for Ling Ruo sister to suffer, this sword should be discarded."

As expected, the moment he uttered those words, the hatred in Ling Ruo's eyes dissipated somewhat.

On the third floor, Qingxuan feigned surprise: "Your Highness, since she's the apple of your eye, are you really willing to give her up"

Nangong Hua pursed her lips and finally uttered, "Naturally."

Qingxuan: "Then that's good, naturally the King is willing to give it, then there couldn't be anything better. However, this sword can't just be given directly."

Nangong Hua was taken aback. "Miss, what do you mean"

"Today in this black market, Princess Ling from the Rong County and I had a conflict. Now, the King wants to downplay this incident and settle things with the Zihua Pearl and the sword you possess, as compensation for Princess Ling's offense against me. However, that doesn't mean that in the future, the King or Princess Ling won't cause me trouble."

"So, what do you mean"

Qingxuan: "What I mean is that Lord Wang and Princess Ling will have to write a promise. Promising that they won't try any methods or means to retrieve this sword and the Purple Bright Pearl in the future."

Nangong Hua subconsciously frowned.

Why did this kind of thing happen twice today

Nan Gong Hua couldn't help but recall the enigmatic woman she had encountered at Wu Wei Ju. Just like this woman now, that woman had also left a contingency plan to ensure no future troubles.ou Hong, "Ah Hong, there's incense here, quickly cover your mouth and nose!"Qingxuan hadn't taken off her clothes yet. She feigned taking something from her sleeve and took out two pills that could co...
