He wouldn't use a top assassin for unnecessary sacrifice.

But he didn't expect that Shen Hancheng was actually so much smarter than he thought.

Shen Hancheng had not only successfully lured him out, he even managed to guess that …

She might have thought that he knew of her identity, so she didn't reveal his true strength. She didn't kill those assassins, but instead …

He even jumped off the cliff, causing the entire city to be in an uproar.

He knew that Shen Hancheng wanted to borrow the Royal Family's hands to let the people of the Imperial Family follow the traces of those assassins and find out the clues. In the end, he wanted to find out who the mastermind was.

However …

was arrogant and conceited. Whatever he wanted to do, whoever he wanted to kill, there would be no explanation at all. Furthermore, it would be impossible for him to talk about this matter in front of the ministers.

It was all because of — Shen Hancheng, he … Couldn't be bothered to cause unnecessary trouble!

Thus, when he received the Grand Commandant's reply, he had been careful.

He specially instructed the assassins to kill four hours later in the afternoon. At the same time, he invited Lin Lanqin, the concubine, out of the mansion to watch the lotus blossom bloom, so as to create an alibi for himself.

After all …

A husband who had been enjoying lotus flowers with his wife, a husband who had retired from politics for many years …

Who... Dare to doubt him?!

Even if there were voices of doubt, would his concubine, the Grand Commandant's direct daughter, who had always adored him, really swallow her anger and not defend him?!

After all, he'd been assassinated yesterday as well, and the others didn't pity him. That cute concubine of his was definitely impossible, and wouldn't pity him …

Looking at the situation, Shen Hancheng and Su Jinruo were forced to jump off the cliff.

The Royal Father was furious and wanted to investigate the assassination attempt by the assassins.

And he, not only did he find out what Shen Hancheng knew, he didn't need to worry. Shen Hancheng would make use of what he didn't know and take him down.

He didn't need to worry that the royal family would find out that he was the mastermind, but …

He had lost sixty men in an instant, so his situation wouldn't be any better …

This game, exactly … Who won, who lost?

The aura of the youth behind the screen gradually became cold, and his expression abruptly changed.

In his eyes, his master was no ordinary person, but he did not expect the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng to be his opponent.

In a battle of strength, no one was at a disadvantage and held the upper hand.

"Then what should we do? Our lord's identity is now known to the Seventh Prince.

If he could really return alive, then wouldn't the position of the lord … will become unfavorable?! "

"He has long since known about my identity. I have merely used this opportunity to formally lay my cards on the table with him …"

Since his identity was already known by him, there was no need to hide anymore. It was time to fight in the open!

Shen Fan's burning gaze landed on the Night Pearl in his hand. The dazzling sunlight outside the window completely swallowed the darkness of the Night Pearl.

He smiled, but it did not reach his eyes.

"Although the glow of the Night Pearl will be covered by the bright sunlight, the sun still does not reach any place, and the Night Pearl does not reach any place …"

His gaze was still and silent as he watched Shen Fan slowly close the window. In the room, the darkness had returned back to what it was before.

Without the dazzling light of the sun, the Night Pearl's dim glow gradually grew brighter and brighter.

Immediately after, the owner of the house, Jinruo, laughed lightly.

"Shen Hancheng, this dazzling sun, if he really died at the bottom of the cliff, then he … is also not worthy to be my opponent for this Luminous Pearl. "

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Hancheng sat in the thatched cottage, leisurely reading the notes he had copied down in the past. He waited for an entire morning, but still did not bring Su Jinruo over.

Although he intentionally mentioned Shen Fan in the morning.

It was just that he wanted to tell Su Jinruo that Shen Fan was an extremely vicious and evil person through this assassination attempt. He couldn't just look at his appearance and be bewitched by the gentleness and elegance on the surface.

But who would have thought that Su Jinruo, that stinking brat, would actually feel sad for such a pathetic person?!

At that moment, he didn't know what he was thinking. A sour feeling seemed to surge up from the bottom of his heart, and it was especially strange. It could be said that …

This was the first time that he had experienced such a feeling. Faintly, there was also a trace of anger mixed within.

He was unclear of what was going on, but he did not have the mood to ponder over it.

It was just a random remark. Without any tools and martial arts, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to fish in a deep pond.

Therefore, he sat on the bench in the thatched cottage, and from time to time he would look out for movements, waiting for Su Jinruo to go up and apologize.

With Su Jinruo's special understanding of progress and retreat, as well as his personality, he would never do something that he couldn't do.

He would definitely bow his head to him, and at that time, he would take the opportunity to teach him.

With that thought in mind, Shen Hancheng suddenly frowned.

Since When...

If he wanted to teach someone a lesson, why would he need to find a reason?!

A trace of indescribable light flashed past his pitch-black pupils. Shen Hancheng summed it up as Su Jinruo was someone who did not share his thoughts.

With a reason, reprimanding him would make Su Jinruo a little more obedient.

However …

He had to wait for the whole morning, but he still could not wait for Su Jinruo.

In the end, Shen Hancheng no longer had the patience to wait and put down the notebook in his hands and stood up.

Right at this moment, a cool breeze blew past his face, and a fragrant smell of meat wafted through the air.

Shen Hancheng walked out of the thatched cottage, and stood there looking at it for a long time before raising his leg and walking slowly over to Su Jinruo's side.

The youth wore a green robe, but his body was much smaller. Wearing a wide green robe was always a hindrance.

Thus, he slightly rolled up his sleeves. It was unknown if it was unintentionally caused by the youth to roll up his sleeves, but the exposed snow-white skin was only on his wrist …

Shen Hancheng's gaze fell on Su Jinruo's snow-white wrist, and then looked at the wooden stick in her hand.

He shifted his eyes slightly and his gaze landed on the wild chicken on the wooden stick. His pretty eyebrows could not help but slightly raise.

Su Jinruo flipped the wooden block open, and his eyes revealed tranquility.

She passed over to Shen Hancheng the wild chicken that had always been fragrant and fragrant, Shen Hancheng received it leisurely.

There was no trace of happiness or anger on his face as he said, "This King never said that This King wanted to eat chicken."

Su Jinruo raised his eyes and looked at Shen Hancheng: "Your highness is extremely smart, and naturally you understand that the following officials naturally cannot catch fish, if I were to forcefully fish, I'm afraid that no one would be able to take care of this lunch. I thought about what Your Highness had said to me last night, under the cliff, without any princes or officials, I would be bold enough to go out and capture some wild chickens, and I hope that Your highness won't be angry."

In the past, Shen Hancheng had stayed here for a period of time. He was well aware that although the wild chickens below the cliff were delicious and plump, they were extremely difficult to catch …

Shen Hancheng stared intently at Su Jinruo, "Capturing wild chickens is not easy, how did you do it?"

The expression in his eyes did not change, and Su Jinruo frankly replied: "Your highness has once taught me archery, did Your highness forget? It was a simple and remote place. There were no bows and arrows, but there was no lack of bamboo and wood. This official then casually made a slingshot. Its function was no different from that of a bow and arrow, a wild chicken … It's also what we got. "

Speaking of archery, Shen Hancheng suddenly remembered how he forced the youth in front of him to hurt himself.

In order to probe out his hidden strength …

Shen Hancheng's indifferent eyes faintly flashed with a peculiar expression.

Suddenly, he extended his hand out, and touched Su Jinruo's face.

The two of them looked at each other in silence. As they did not understand Shen Hancheng's intentions, Su Jinruo's eyes flashed and he slightly shrank his neck in an attempt to avoid Shen Hancheng's hand.

But who knew that Shen Hancheng would actually remove the green leaf in the middle of her hair?

Not knowing what Shen Hancheng was thinking, Su Jinruo followed him into the thatched hut.

The two of them sat on the bench together as Su Jinruo lowered his head and nibbled the delicious, slippery chicken meat.

This wild chicken … She cooked it in another place before bringing it back.

The goal was to make things difficult for Shen Hancheng for her again.

In the silence, Su Jinruo felt that he returned to how he was before.

Those days when they ate together with Shen Hancheng, they were all silent and carried their own thoughts.

But...

The current her, however, had become a lot less burdensome and a lot less cautious facing Shen Hancheng.

Perhaps … It was because he was far away from a place filled with schemes and tricks.

Unrestrained days were always pleasing to the eye.

After interacting with Shen Hancheng for so long, Su Jinruo realized that when eating, Shen Hancheng rarely opened his mouth to talk.

Naturally, she had never seen Shen Hancheng eating with the rest.

~ I wonder if Shen Hancheng is able to talk to the others.

But after thinking about it, Su Jinruo did not think that it was possible for Shen Hancheng to eat with the rest.

In Shen Hancheng's words, eating with a bunch of bored people not only humiliated his eyes, destroyed his mood, but also spoiled his mood for eating.

Suddenly, Su Jinruo was surprised by himself, how could he actually think about such a thing, and relax so much?!

At this time, Shen Hancheng who had been silent for a long while spoke:

"After you go back, you are not allowed to mention the matter of the cliff to anyone."

This place was his secret location.

Quiet, peaceful, and aloof from worldly affairs.

He won't allow it, no matter who destroys …

did not need to say these words, for even the likes of Su Jinruo would not spread the news of this matter.

She nodded and replied, "This official understands."

Slightly glancing at the side, Su Jinruo quietly looked at Shen Hancheng.

In the past, there was a type of arrogance in Shen Hancheng's personality that no one could enter his eyes.

But now … However, he had restrained all of his emotions. It was so indifferent, so remote from worldly affairs, Su Jinruo didn't know what kind of thoughts he had.

Some thoughts welled up and words went by without a thought.

"Your Highness once said that there are no princes and officials here, so this official, with an ordinary identity, asked what he thought. With your power and strength, Your Highness, I don't know …" Do you have any plans to become an Ascendant? "
