Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(85) A Meeting by Chance and being Seized by a Demonically Charming White Figure

When the curtain of night descended, everybody started preparing to go to sleep.

Chu Qing-Yan opened her eyes, waiting. Ever since she got hurt, Xiao Xu would often come by to check on her before she sleeps. Only after she fell asleep would he return to his own room. He was probably worried that she would have another nightmare again.

While Chu Qing-Yan was quietly waiting, a white figure appeared on top of Prince Ying's manor's walls, his pair of enticing eyes sweeping a glance inside the walls. Then his foot lightly pushed off, and just like a night time ghost, he traveled back and forth inside the manor with an extremely fast speed. It could clearly be seen that his martial arts was very high as he lightly passed through layers upon layers of imperial bodyguards with ease. If you didn't look carefully, his passing felt like a burst of light wind brushing past a person's cheeks.

The white figure's goal was very specific, he headed straight toward the direction of the study. Before coming, he had already gotten hold of a blueprint of Prince Ying's manor's building layout.

However, when he was standing atop of a tree branch in front of the study, he found the room that ought to be pitch-black now was actually brightly lit. Moreover, through the cotton of the window, the figure reflected by the flames, with a perfectly straight back, seemed to be flipping through something in his hand. The white figure narrowed his long and phoenix eyes, if he didn't guess wrong, this person should be Xiao Xu, Prince Ying.

Looked like he came at the wrong time tonight. Just as he was about to leave, the summer wind blew over. It blew a corner of his clothing which coincidentally entered the view of Fire Spirit who had raised his head to yawn.

"Who! Come out!" Fire Spirit coldly shouted!

The white figure smiled evilly and flew towards Fire Spirit. Fire Spirit subconsciously braced himself to block the incoming attack, yet he didn't think that the person would suddenly twist and with flying speed leave in the opposite direction.

Fire Spirit was shocked by this person's flexibility, and it was also by this time that that person had already flown out by several meters. Moreover, he felt that the person seemed to have intentionally played him. When he finally came to the realization, he immediately became angry and used his lightstyle martial arts move to chase after him.

And Xiao Xu, who heard the movement from inside the study quickly walked out. He saw Fire Spirit and others had already given chase, but when he saw the direction of the pursuit, his expression immediately became gloomy.

That direction was towards the inner courtyard.

The somewhat sleepy Chu Qing-Yan had her eyes half-closed. She was about to fall asleep when she sensed that outside seemed to be noisy, even accompanied with some words of "catch the assassin." She couldn't help but pucker up her brows.

And just at this time, Xi Ning pushed open the door and stepped inside with a flustered expression.

Chu Qing-Yan then asked. "What's happening outside that sounds so noisy?"

"I heard that an assassin burst into the manor. Honorable Fire Spirit led the imperial bodyguards and they are currently searching now." Xi Ning saw her family's master was safe and sound before she released a breath of relief.

Chu Qing-Yan was somewhat bewildered. Someone was able to break into Prince Ying's manor that had such tight defenses. Then how outstanding must this assassin's martial arts be?

At this moment, Fire Spirit's voice came from outside the door. "Ninth Miss Chu, this subordinate has orders to catch the assassin, would it be possible to come in and search?"
