The Fourth Princess led Ji Fengyan into Liu Ruse’s room and Yichen was also brought there as a “hostage”.

Liu Ruse turned 15-year-old that year and was slightly older than the Fourth Princess, or the same as Ji Fengyan. She became acquainted with the Fourth Princess on an occasion when she young and was well-liked by the Fourth Princess, hence she was recruited to keep the princess company. As Liu Ruse did not stay in the capital city, she lived with the Fourth Princess most of the time, except that after she was severely ill, the Emperor was afraid that she would pass the illness to Fourth Princess and moved her to a residence in the capital city.

The residence was not huge, but it looked very comfortable. The Fourth Princess was worried about Liu Ruse and arranged many servants and guards to guard the place.

When Ji Fengyan saw Liu Ruse, she was lying quietly on the bed. Her small and pale face had no colouration and there was not even a tinge of red on her lips. Her slightly protruding cheeks and frowning brows showed how haggard and weak she was.

Beside Liu Ruse’s bed, there was a middle-aged man standing anxiously. Opposite him, there was a 15 or 16-year-old young man. The young man was handsome and had slightly pointed-upwards eyes. His gaze was sharp and sinister and did not contain the immaturity that a young boy should have.

“Why are you here?” the young man suddenly berated her upon seeing the Fourth Princess, and he had no sign of respect at all.

The Fourth Princess froze involuntarily after being shouted at, but she quickly regained her composure. She lifted her head and looked at the young man who was almost one and a half head taller than her and said, “I’m here to visit Ruse.”

“Don’t you think you have harmed her enough?” the young man said coldly with his eyes narrowed.

The Fourth Princess shrank her neck as the courage that she pretended disappeared suddenly. She avoided her gaze guiltily and muttered, “I also didn’t want something to happen to Ruse…”

“You don’t want anything to happen to her? If you had not obtained any medicine for her on your own accord, Ruse will also not be in this state.” the young man continued to scold her relentlessly.

It was hard to imagine that there would be someone who dared to be this disrespectful to the Fourth Princess. And what was even more strange was that not only was the Fourth Princess not angry at all, she continued to listen guiltily.

“We don’t need you here, please leave immediately.” The young man gave the order for them to leave.

The Fourth Princess was instantly in a panic. She did not care about the guilt that she was feeling and lifted her head to speak hastily. “Qin Muyao, enough! I know it’s my kind intention that worsened matters, but I have never wanted to harm Ruse. I’m here not to listen to your reprimand but to look at Ruse. It’s up to me whether I want to leave or not!”

Qin Muyao scoffed. He was clearly still a young man but his eyes were as sharp as a dagger, even the noble status of the Fourth Princess did not give him any pressure.

“He is Qin Muyao?” Linghe, who had followed them, looked at the cold and sinister Qin Muyao with his eyes filled with shock.

“You recognise him?” Ji Fengyan whispered.

Linghe nodded and said softly to Ji Fengyan, “He is a part of the Qin family. Qin family was once one of the strongest aristocrat in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon and the strongest terminator had also come from the Qin family…”

Qin family had already existed before the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. The past generations of Emperor had entrusted them with heavy responsibilities and the terminators from Qin family had always been very strong, making them the most revered and respected by the other terminators.

Qin Muyao had inherited the World-Termination-Armour when he was a 13-year-old and became the newly appointed terminator of the Qin family.
