Chapter 685 -653: Tiandu Saintess Immortal Mirror Technique (Part 2)
“Ah?” The Seventh Princess’s heart skipped a beat: “This princess is from the Heavenly Capital, isn’t she?”
“Indeed, the Shanling Saintess from the Heavenly Capital!” Fufeng said: “This woman claims she can withstand the Enlightenment Rules, however, that water droplet from my soon-to-be brother-in-law just now is quite significant. Is he really ‘not known for his combat prowess’ Li Chengnian?”
The latter part of the sentence was spoken softly, almost a murmur.
“Courting death!” The figure of Princess Shansheng suddenly intensified. Her regal princess attire fluttered away, revealing the silver armor underneath.
This set of armor appeared amidst the rain and fog.
Her surroundings seemed to split time and space, behind her, seemed like a galaxy of stars.
Qing Ying had just returned from afar and upon seeing this, her expression changed dramatically: “The Heavenly Capital’s ‘Heavenly Battle Technique’, be careful Mr. Li…”
Whoosh!
A figure stepped forward, blocking Princess Shansheng.
It was the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince’s face was extremely somber: “Ninth Sister, what are you doing?”
His eight words were extraordinarily serious.
“Seventh Brother! Move aside for me!” Princess Shansheng said coldly: “This treacherous minister cost my brother his life; how can I forgive him?”
“Nonsense!” The Seventh Prince said sternly: “The Third Prince was captured at the Heavenly Prison by the emperor’s edict, and committed suicide in fear of punishment. What does Mr. Li have to do with this?”
“Without this villain’s influence, would the emperor have been confused momentarily?” Princess Shansheng replied, “Today, I must kill this traitor; no one will stop me!”
“Presumptuous!” The Seventh Prince shouted angrily: “The emperor is wise and mighty; who among the ministers can deceive him? The Third Prince’s crimes are grave and irrefutable! Do you intend to overturn the verdict for this rebellious traitor? Are you not concerned about causing trouble for your empress mother? You insolent fool, be silent!”
His words were righteous and just.
The words were unyielding.
The words carried the battlefield might of the Seventh Prince, who had waged war for ten years.
And it hit a vital point for the arrogant princess.
That point was her mother.
The Seventh Prince clearly told her: You rely on your status as an imperial princess, you rely on being the Tiandu Saintess; even if the dynasty falls, you still have a retreat, as you can enter the Heavenly Capital as the Saintess. But have you not thought that you also have a mother?
Because of the matter of the former Crown Prince, the emperor is already quite displeased with the empress.
If you, as a princess, continue to stir up trouble, do you think the emperor wouldn’t dare to depose your mother?
This wake-up call was effective.
Princess Shansheng’s silver battle clothes gradually lost their brilliance, and her face became slightly pale.
“Does Your Highness understand now?” Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: “Then, you may sit down and have a cup of tea!”
The inner rage of Princess Shansheng surged once more!
This princess specifically sought trouble with you, ultimately resulting in such a severe conflict even with my own brother, yet you leisurely sip tea beside me as if nothing happened. Can such arrogance be excused?
With a surge of anger, her entire battle attire began to emit subtle flashes once more…
The Seventh Prince directly turned and approached Lin Xiaosu: “Mr. Li, my Ninth Sister is young and naive; I apologize on her behalf.”
“How dare I!” Lin Xiaosu replied: “Your Highness, this is freshly brewed new tea; please have a taste!”
He personally held the teapot and poured a cup for the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince accepted it, took a sip, and said “good tea”.
The two seemed to have forgotten all about the princess outside the pavilion.
Only Qing Ying observed coldly. In her anticipation, the princess should have soared and left this awkward place.
However, to her surprise, Princess Shansheng stepped into the Red Pavilion and took a seat on the other side.
Lin Xiaosu smiled: “Qing Ying, pour a cup of tea for the princess.”
Qing Ying quickly stepped forward, offering a cup of tea.
Princess Shansheng lifted the teacup, quietly staring inside. Suddenly, she raised her head slowly.
Her face, at some unknown time, had shed its previous rage, becoming eerily calm.
“Mr. Li!” Princess Shansheng said softly: “Do you rely on the emperor’s protection, thinking I can’t capture you, is that it?”
The Seventh Prince’s expression darkened again, wasn’t this enough?
However, the question was asked calmly; she showed no sign of fury. The Seventh Prince could only frown…
Lin Xiaosu smiled: “My reply might anger Your Highness, yet this is indeed the truth. The emperor is wise and mighty, unlikely allowing the princess to act out and disrupt the dynastic order.”
“If I privately killed you, perhaps it would indeed disrupt the dynastic order!” Princess Shansheng said coldly: “But if the emperor decrees the extermination of your clan, does it count as disrupting the dynastic order?”
“That certainly wouldn’t count!” Lin Xiaosu said nonchalantly: “Unfortunately, Your Highness lacks the ability to prompt the emperor to issue such a decree.”
“Presumptuous!” The nearby maid couldn’t help but shout in anger.
Yet, no one paid attention to her.
Even Qing Ying ignored her.
Lin Xiaosu didn’t even glance at her…
Princess Shansheng said: “Do you know where I come from?”
“The Heavenly Capital!” Lin Xiaosu replied.
“Are you aware of a magic in the Heavenly Capital called ‘Immortal Mirror Technique’?”
“Unaware! Why do you ask?”
“Why do you ask? Hahaha…” Princess Shansheng laughed skyward: “The Immortal Mirror Technique tears apart all worldly illusions! Li Chengnian, you are not Li Chengnian! This… is your true face!”
Her delicate palm struck!
The tea in the cup spiraled into the air, forming a mirror in the void, within the mirror was the Gauze Pavilion, inside the Gauze Pavilion were five people.
The Seventh Prince, her, her maid, Qing Ying…
Apart from them, there was one more person, sitting where Lin Xiaosu was, dressed identically yet the face was completely different, turning into a handsome young man.
Lin Xiaosu stared at the reflection of himself in the mirror, his face changed…
His method of transformation was broken!
The him in the mirror was his true appearance!
