745 Dungeon 2

"Oh? Extremely vicious?" Ji Fengyan raised her brows and glanced at the downtrodden little old man. Her expression was thoughtful.

At Ji Fengyan's glance, the little old man's face suddenly reddened. He said, "Don't look at me. I was wrongly accused."

Before Ji Fengyan could speak, a large man who was locked in the cell on Ji Fengyan's left suddenly laughed coldly. "Wrongly accused? Others might dare to claim to be wrongly accused, but how can the great King of Poisons dare to claim to be wrongly accused? When you poisoned the entire household of three hundred people in Dong City, why didn't you feel you were wrongly accused?"

The little old man glared at the large, powerful looking man. "You better not talk nonsense. I'm just a little old man, how could I have done something so terrible? Someone set me up. Look at me, how could I have taken anyone's life?"

The large man laughed coldly. Clearly he did not take the little old man's words to heart.

The little old man could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He turned to look at Ji Fengyan. "Little girl, I heard what that so-called princess said… asking the prison guards here to treat you hospitably. Let me tell you that there are many implements of torture here in the royal prison. You look so delicate, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand it for long. Whom did you offend, to be treated like that?"

Ji Fengyan laughed wryly. If she knew what was going on, she would not be locked in here.

The little old man was on the verge of saying something else, but suddenly heard footsteps from the corridor. He hurriedly closed his mouth and leaned his head to one side, pretending to be asleep.

The footsteps grew closer. Without thinking about it, Ji Fengyan knew that the sound was headed for her.

But…

When the owner of the footsteps appeared in Ji Fengyan's line of vision, Ji Fengyan was completely shocked.

Besides the two prison guards, an old acquaintance was standing outside the cell.

Qin Muyao stood outside the cell with a cold expression. His sharp eyes swept across Ji Fengyan, who was locked in the cell. Then he said to a prison guard who was standing nearby, "Open the door. I have something to ask Ji Fengyan."

When they heard this, the two prison guards could not help but look uncomfortable.

However, under Qin Muyao's cold gaze, their legs immediately went soft and they opened the cell door without further delay.

Who was Qin Muyao?

He belonged to the family of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon's first Terminator. Further, His Majesty had recently chosen him to be the Green Nightmare Army's general. Right now, his star was rising. Who would dare to offend him?

The prison guards hurriedly opened the door, and nodded and bowed to invite Qin Muyao to enter.

Qin Muyao's face was completely expressionless. His cold gaze swept across the two guards and he said, "Leave us."

"Yes, yes." The prison guards did not dare to argue at all, but hurriedly retreated and left the cell.

Qin Muyao looked at Ji Fengyan, who was shackled to the wall. His expression was calm.

"Brother Qin, why are you here?" Ji Fengyan looked at Qin Muyao laughingly.

Her carefree expression made Qin Muyao frown slightly.

"You are still in the mood for laughter?"

Ji Fengyan shrugged. "Would you rather I cried?"

Qin Muyao's frown deepened. "You shouldn't have come back."

"It was a direct order from the Emperor. Even if I did not wish to return, I had to, or I would be considered rebellious and disrespectful." Ji Fengyan said.

The corner of Qin Muyao's eyes swept across the two neighboring cells. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "His Majesty is prepared to get rid of you."

"Why?" Ji Fengyan had long guessed that it was so, but…

Why?

Why did the Emperor desperately wish to get rid of her?
