Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Wait, Wait, I Swear Loyalty!
"Princess Consort, how did it go, how was the communication?"
Xuan Xu saw Long Yue waking up from her meditation state and quickly asked. He was also a bit curious, wanting to see how this Princess Consort measured up.
As someone from the Hun clan of Xue Country, her soul power surely wasn’t weak, and she should be able to communicate well with Little Zhe Wu.
Long Yue replied, "Not bad, I’ve gathered some information."
Long Yue then shared the information she had just learned from Little Zhe Wu with Xuan Xu and Li Qingmu, and instantly, the two of them looked shocked.
"There’s another stone door here, leading to somewhere else? Where does it lead?"
"I don’t know. I asked him, but he didn’t know either. Perhaps we don’t have the capability to understand it yet. A Mu, maybe we should ask my master, though the master..."
If the Duanmu Family guards that entrance, it indicates that the family might know some secrets. As the eldest son of the Duanmu Family, would he know anything?
Thinking about it, Long Yue shook her head again. Ultimately, it was better not to bother the master needlessly. They could research things on their own.
"Let’s go back."
This underground tomb holds too many secrets. Since this Zhe Wu is willing to go out with them, it’s considered a gain. The rest won’t be explored further because Xuan Xu said it would be very dangerous ahead, back then, Qi Yun led them out facing great peril.
As for what kind of peril, it’s hard to say. Li Qingmu thought about whether he should ask the elderly father emperor later?
"Let’s go, there’s still a lot to do."
"Okay!"
Long Yue responded, turned to look at Little Zhe Wu, and petted its head, asking, "Want to go out with us? We’re leaving. This place is too dangerous, can’t stay."
This Little Zhe Wu was still young and quite naive. Hearing the danger, it quickly agreed like a chicken pecking grains: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to go out, I want to leave too!"
Thus, Little Zhe Wu left together with Long Yue and the others.
"Hey, hey, hey, you’re not taking me with you?"
Mier saw them saying they’d leave and left without even calling him. He thought he would be left here, so scared that he jumped high, quickly running after them.
"It’s your own slow action."
Long Yue said a bit speechlessly.
"I’m slow? Gosh, are you wrong? You never told me, how could I be ready?"
"You have no sense!"
Long Yue chuckled lightly, this mockery made Mier almost want to spit blood.
This reason...awesome, so strong, he was at a loss for words!
Alright, it’s his own lack of sense, alas!
Mier was hurt, having trained his whole life, yet still having no sense. If he had sense, he’d please the higher-ups, how could he be abandoned by the Princess, left here to see if these two are dead?
In the end, the couple wasn’t dead, he nearly died instead, what a mess!
"Alas!"
Mier followed Long Yue and the others out of the tomb with a forlorn face. Initially thought the Princess surely would be nearby, ready to capture them and turn his fate around, but...
Where did she go?
Where did the proud Princess go? Where did she escape to?
Mier looked around nervously, and Long Yue noticed, smiling, "Mier, where’s your Princess Consort? Where has she run off to? Ah, didn’t she quickly run when she knew we were coming? Hahaha!"
"I, I..."
Mier choked on Long Yue’s words, feeling uncomfortable, wanting to explain something, but looking at the empty courtyard, this...
If the Princess Consort was here, with her keen ears and senses, she would have known they were back. But no one appeared, she must have left!
Thinking of this, Mier felt sad, clearly in the Princess’s heart, he was worth nothing, alas!
"Where’s your Princess?"
At this moment, Long Yue came to rub salt into his wounds, instantly, Mier felt terrible.
"The Princess Consort, she..."
"What’s up with her?"
Long Yue smiled sweetly, looking warmly at him, asking.
Mier looked bitter: "I...the Princess, she..."
"Hmm? What about her?"
Uh...
Mier was at a loss for words.
The Princess abandoned him, left him here. He couldn’t say how great the Princess was to him, right?
That would be setting up for a slap on the face, wouldn’t it?
That would be awkward!
And he would feel constrained too, right?
"Your Princess, perhaps she’s already left?"
Long Yue hit the nail on the head, Mier felt conflicted, face blushing.
Long Yue smiled slightly, reaching to pat Mier’s shoulder, "Such pity, but don’t be sad, your Princess abandoned you, however, you could work for me!"
Mier paused briefly, then hummed, "In your dreams, a charming young man like me only serves Princess Ying, as for you? Hmph, don’t even think about it!"
"Oh, is that so? Then let’s just kill you to avoid future trouble."
Long Yue said as she was about to act, Mier blanched, quickly waving his hands, "No, no, I’ll serve, I’ll serve, isn’t that enough?"
"Heh!" Long Yue coldly laughed, "You claim loyalty now? But I can’t take you on, you might betray me to your Princess later, wouldn’t I be looking for trouble then?"
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare! Ancestor, Aunt, please spare me, I swear I’ll wholeheartedly be loyal to you, firmly not act foolishly! If I dare violate, let me be struck by heaven’s five thunder!"
He said, putting his hands together and pointing towards the top of his head.
"An oath isn’t reliable, I don’t trust it."
Long Yue said coolly, Mier looked desperate, "Then what would you do? What will make you spare me? Let me tell you, if you don’t give me a way out, I... I might as well die with you! Even if I die, I’ll make you suffer!"
He spoke with such determination.
This was fierce!
If before he said about loyalty, Long Yue didn’t believe it, now she did.
Long Yue squinted her eyes, "Your Princess is clearly unreliable, but I’m sincere and honest. So, if you willingly turn to the light, I can take you on, but if you defect to me, you should offer some sincerity, right?"
Mier instantly turned cautious looking at Long Yue, "Sincerity? What kind of sincerity are you referring to? I think I’ve been quite sincere, right?"
"No, no, no, you haven’t shown any sincerity. Since you want to defect to me, you should sever ties with your original Princess Ying, so you’ll need to tell me some of her unknown secrets. That’s your pledge, then I can trust you."
I...
Mier cursed inwardly, this tactic, truly brilliant!
This was forcing him to completely offend Princess Ying and take sides with hers?
Mier felt conflicted, even though there were some people supporting her within Xue Country, still that was a minority.
Should he really stand on her side?
