Yan Lu frowned, a trace of displeasure appearing in his eyes. However, thinking that this girl was related to the Crown Prince, he suppressed his anger and didn't chase her out of the palace.
At the same time, they felt that it was a bit strange. Why did it sound like the couple was quarreling!?
"Princess, where is the Crown Prince?" Yan Lu indifferently shifted his gaze away from Ling'er and clasped his hands as he looked at Qin Yinyue.
Qin Yinyue shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. She was also very curious and wondered what had just happened.
Why did Ling Yun emit such a … Sharp... The sound was like a frightened little white rabbit being targeted by a big bad wolf.
Thinking of this, she wanted to laugh.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Ling'er suspiciously as she frowned.
She kept having the feeling that the relationship between Ling Yun and this young lady whose appearance and temperament were not inferior to hers was not as simple as Ling Yun had described to her.
Perhaps Ling Yun was real, because she did not feel that Ling Yun was lying. There was a need to lie to her, but this young girl Ling'er might have some sort of ulterior motive towards his big brother Ling Yun …
Qin Yinyue snorted lightly. Her red lips pouted and a trace of bitterness flashed across her eyes.
Gritting his teeth, he thought to himself, That guy, his ability to attract bees and lead butterflies isn't bad. In just two days, he actually attracted another one.
If Lingyun knew what she was thinking, he would definitely scream that she was innocent. This girl, even if he wanted to, he could not chase her away!
With such a fiery temper, if he were to marry her in the future, he would definitely suffer!
"He's in this room!" Ling'er did not pay any heed to Yan Lu's gaze as she listened to their conversation. She pointed to the room behind her and said indifferently.
"Hmm?" Yan Lu frowned and looked at her suspiciously. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the room. Qin Yinyue and Cai'Er also wanted to follow him in, but they were stopped by Ling'er's strange expression.
"You …" Qin Yinyue looked at the young girl who had stopped them with a puzzled expression. A faint trace of enmity appeared in the depths of her eyes.
Moments later, Yan Lu walked out with an ugly expression. His expression was somewhat panicked, and he coldly glanced at Ling'er, which was flickering with a dangerous light, faintly revealing his killing intent. "Your Highness is not inside!"
"Hmm?" Qin Yinyue and Cai'Er immediately looked at Ling'Er, who was also in a daze, with an unfriendly expression.
"How is this possible?" Ling'er returned to her senses and said absentmindedly, "He was clearly inside. She was naked just now! "How could it suddenly disappear …"
After he finished speaking, he noticed more than ten pairs of eyes looking at him. Only then did he realize what he had said. A layer of pink mist flew onto his face under the veil. Wasn't this just admitting defeat...
Yan Lu's face twitched as he looked strangely at the young girl in front of him with her head lowered. "Are you sure?"
Even though he was asking, he already believed in his own heart. No woman would joke around with their good name.
Cough cough, to be more accurate, it was their Crown Prince's …
Ling'er ignored him and walked into the room with a reddened face. The room was indeed empty. Ling Yun's figure was nowhere to be seen, and a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
A strand of invisible spiritual will was emitted from between her eyebrows, enveloping the room as she searched inch by inch. She did not want to miss a single place. She did not believe that a living person would disappear without a reason …
Spiritual will was actually psychokinesis formed by spiritual force. It could be investigated and then attacked.
The premise was that he had the strength of a Martial Master, so that the Spiritual Space could communicate with the outside world.
However, he could not just release his spiritual will after breaking through to Martial Master. Eighty percent of Martial Masters were unable to do so because they still needed to have a strong Spiritual Energy to be able to reach Rank 2 Spirit Power.
Yan Lu, Qin Yinyue, and Cai'Er walked to her side. Yan Lu couldn't help but be startled when he sensed the telepathic thoughts being emitted from her body.
His eyes revealed a trace of surprise. What was the identity of this girl? Her spiritual will was not much weaker than his. One must know that his real strength was that of a Martial King.
But what shocked him the most was that the girl's spiritual will was emitting a scorching aura.
One had to know that divine will was formless and had no attributes.
Could it be that she was sent by the Queen, Yan Lu guessed in his heart. Only her family, who were born with a burning sensation in their telepathic thoughts?
Shaking his head, Yan Lu's gaze gradually turned icy. Regardless of the identity of the young girl in front of him, the disappearance of His Highness the crown prince was inextricably linked to her.
Based on the wall and the broken door, he could roughly deduce that there must have been some sort of conflict between the two.
"Someone, come!" Seeing that the girl had not found anything for a long time, Yan Lu's eyes became cold and stern, and he yelled out the door.
Soon one of the guards who had accompanied him ran to his side.
"Ask Vice General Li and Vice General Wang to personally bring a hundred guards to this place to find the crown prince!" At the same time, an invisible spiritual will locked onto the young girl, Ling'er.
Ling'er pursed her lips. How could she not know what Yan Lu meant by looking for Ling Yun? They were probably here to surround her and imprison her!
Gritting his teeth, he cursed Ling Yun in his heart. If he did not suddenly disappear, how could he have ended up like this?
He sighed helplessly, and could not help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seemed that if she could not find Ling Yun, she would not be able to leave this courtyard.
Although her methods were extraordinary, it was obviously impossible for her to escape from the Prince Zhan Mansion, which was heavily guarded. Just Yan Lu alone was giving her quite a bit of pressure.
Of course, she had to pay a price and she could still leave. However, in the end, she still could not avoid the fate of being caught and brought back.
Qin Yinyue and Cai'Er's pretty faces were also filled with anxiety as they looked at her with ill intent.
A few minutes ago, the culprit behind all of this was riding a horse carriage to the palace with a crafty smile on his face.
Lingyun knew that if he left the room, he would definitely be beaten up by that stinking girl.
After changing his clothes, he quietly left the small courtyard through the secret passage and went straight to the palace hall. Then, without notifying anyone, he took a small path and sneaked out of the mansion's gate.
As for why neither Yan Lu nor Ling'er had discovered the mechanism of the secret passageway, it was because he had asked Liu Xian to set up a Spiritual Array to cover it.
Unless one's cultivation reached the Martial Saint level or had a spiritual power higher than Liu Xian's, one would not be able to sense anything amiss.
Clearly, Yan Lu and Ling'er did not possess the qualifications to discover that Spiritual Array.
Inside the luxurious carriage, Lingyun was leaning against the soft couch as he circulated his spiritual energy to heal his injuries. As he ate the spirit fruit, the sound of rolling wheels could be heard.
It was still daytime. There were a lot of pedestrians on the streets. The carriages sped towards the direction of the imperial palace as the pedestrians made way for them.
Astonishingly, around the carriage was a group of elite guards of the King's Manor. They surrounded the carriage, and their leader was a Half-Martial King commander.
Ling Yun actually did not want to attract attention, but he had no choice. This was something that Ling Ao had personally ordered him to do.
The assassination half a month ago and the events of today had caused him to be extremely worried about Ling Yun's safety, even though this was the imperial city.
On both sides of the road, there were countless hidden royal guards.
Right now, a storm was brewing in Lingxiao City, a sense of undercurrents surging forth. One had to be careful of everything, especially the fact that the security of Lingxiao City was still under the supervision of the Wen Yuan Marquis's manor.
Of course, the Ling family did not feel safe leaving Marquis Wen Yuan alone. Other than patrolling and defending, there were also the city guards who were under the control of the Duke of Qin.
