Chapter 88
Was she sent here to be a maid?
When it comes to talking nonsense, Ning Shu felt that no one could beat her.
Anyone can go crazy, but she's always right.
The demon-slaying demon was filled with questions.
"Huh? What did you say?"
I actually witnessed Qian Renxue replacing Xue Qinghe?
"The young master didn't kill you?"
The demon-slaying demon asked in surprise.
His focus is always different from that of ordinary people.
Ning Shu paused, then asked, "Master, if she kills me, will I still be able to appear before you?"
"Can't you wish me well?" Ning Shu retorted.
The demon-slaying monk said, "It's not that your master doesn't want you to be well. I'm telling you, Ah Shu, how could you keep such an important matter a secret?"
"If you had told me this earlier, I wouldn't have needed to bring you to see the young master first."
"..."
Ning Shu: "What's the difference between meeting them first and meeting them later?"
"Yes," said the demon-slaying demon. "At least I don't need to introduce you two anymore."
"I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?" Ning Shu smiled. "But Master, she might not remember me."
"Why?" the demon-slaying demon asked.
How could I forget something so important?
Ning Shu said, "Because I was very young at that time, and so many years have passed now. I look different now, so it would be strange if she could recognize me."
"Hmm, that makes sense." The Demon Slayer said, "However, the young master is not a forgetful person. Since she let you off the hook after you witnessed the truth, there must be a reason."
"Ah Shu, are you really not a member of the Heavenly Dou royal family?"
Are they members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family?
Ning Shu thought for a moment, "I don't remember."
Her memories were hazy, only becoming clear at specific times. Sometimes Ning Shu herself found it strange why memories she had never had before would suddenly appear in her mind.
It's as if memories are being broadcast step by step.
"Don't you remember?"
The demon looked at her and stared for a long time.
If you don't remember, that's fine.
Yeah, she was so young back then, it would be a miracle if she remembered anything.
Perhaps the young master spared her because she was still young?
Then, she was sent out of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace?
Besides this reason, the demon-slaying demon couldn't think of any other one.
After all, if someone witnessed the substitution, the best course of action would be to kill the witness.
After all, only the dead can't speak.
Well, we're already here. The two of them will know the answer when they meet.
With that thought in mind, Jiangmo continued to lead Ning Shu away.
The guards outside the Crown Prince's palace had been replaced by people from the Spirit Hall. They had informed Qian Renxue before Jiangmo came, so the guards outside did not stop Jiangmo and Ning Shu. However, on the way, Xue Beng came out of his palace and saw Ning Shu at a glance.
Through the sparse trees, he stood still, gazing at Ning Shu not far away. The palace maid behind him, seeing this, couldn't help but look in that direction. "Fourth Prince, what's wrong?"
"Is it her?" Avalanche frowned.
"Her?" The palace maid asked, somewhat puzzled. "Does His Highness the Fourth Prince know her?"
"No." Avalanche shook his head. "It can't be her."
After saying that, the person looked away, turned around, and left.
The palace maid followed behind him, slightly puzzled, but said nothing.
"She's going to her older brother's place."
"She actually forgave me."
"Have you forgotten?"
"..."
The Crown Prince's bedroom.
Jiang Mo and Ning Shu went inside one after the other.
Prince Xue Qinghe, gentle and refined, had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness." The demon slayer entered and bowed first.
Xue Qinghe smiled faintly, "Grandpa Demon Slayer, there's no need for such formalities."
Ning Shu then bowed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xue Qinghe looked at her, not recognizing her at first. "You're Ning Shu, the disciple of the Demon-Slaying Grandpa?"
"Yes, Your Highness," Ning Shu replied.
Xue Qinghe extended his hand, gesturing for them to sit down. "Grandpa Demon Slayer, sit down and let's talk."
"Hmm." Jiangmo nodded, looking at Xue Qinghe's expression, it seemed that he really didn't recognize A-Shu.
Ning Shu sat down without hesitation.
Xue Qinghe said, "Grandpa Demon Slayer, regarding the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire that you told me about, I sent people out to search for it these past few days, and there is indeed such a place."
"Really?" Jiangmo glanced at Ning Shu subconsciously.
Ning Shu said, "I told you there were, there are really a lot of good stuff in there."
Xue Qinghe glanced at each of them. "But that doesn't belong exclusively to the royal family. It belongs to a royal guest, Dugu Bo."
"Dugu Bo?" Jiang Mo said, "I vaguely remember him, Poison Douluo, right?"
"Yes." Xue Qinghe nodded, then looked at Ning Shu and said, "Besides, that's not a safe place, Ning Shu. You said there are treasures and good things there, how did you know that?"
How did you know?
Ning Shu: "Would you believe me if I said I traveled through time?"
"Time travel?" Xue Qinghe asked in confusion.
The demon slapped her on the back, "A-Shu, speak properly!"
Ning Shu: "..."
How is she not speaking properly?
"Actually, it was just a dream," Ning Shu said, offering another excuse. "You've never paid attention to that place before, why don't you go check it out? You never know, there might be something good there!"
"..."
I dreamt about it.
Jiangmo looked at Ning Shu and thought, "This girl really knows how to spout off without thinking."
"Alright, I'll take you to see it in a bit." Worrying about this is a waste of time, so Jiangmo waved his hand and explained the real purpose of his visit: "Young Master, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Xue Qinghe asked.
He glanced at Ning Shu subconsciously, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
The demon slayer organized his thoughts and said, "Young Master, A-Shu says she likes you."
Ning Shu: "???"
Xue Qinghe: "???"
What?!
Ning Shu's face twitched.
No, that's too direct?
Xue Qinghe was stunned for a while. After regaining his senses, he coughed lightly and frowned slightly. "Grandpa Demon Slayer, what do you mean?"
The demon-slaying monk said, "Here's the thing. I was worried you'd be lonely, so I'm going to send my apprentice to you. She's quite talented and will definitely be able to help you in the future. In any case, she won't hold you back."
"..."
Send someone here.
Xue Qinghe was silent for a moment. "Is she coming to be a maid?"
Being a maid is not as good as staying in the Spirit Hall to cultivate.
"No," the demon-slaying demon said, "I've prepared an identity for her: Young Master. The Crown Prince is not young anymore; isn't it perfect for him to marry the Crown Princess now?"
Crown Princess?
Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly.
It turned out to be the case.
"She doesn't look very old," Xue Qinghe said. "Grandpa Demon Slayer, being the Crown Princess doesn't allow for much time for cultivation. Are you sure you want to send your beloved disciple to my side?"
"Yes, confirmed." Jiangmo nodded. "She agreed too. Anyway, she's not cultivating properly in the Spirit Hall, so she might as well do something worthwhile."
To prevent it from being snatched away by wolf cubs outside!
