Chapter 408

Mu Mingtang took the lamp from the servants and waved a hand at them, “There’s nothing to do here, so you can return beforehand. There’s no need to alarm the others as the Prince and I will return soon.”

The two servants didn’t have the authority to object, so they merely bowed and replied, “As you command.”

Mu Mingtang approached slowly from the corridor. At this moment, in the martial arts arena, Xie Xuanchen was standing amidst the snow, practising his sword. His moves were wide, swift and fierce and each thrust was extremely ruthless.

It didn’t look like he was practising as it felt more akin to him venting his frustrations.

Mu Mingtang didn’t disturb him but accompanied him silently with the lamp. A sword was considered the gentleman among all weapons, but in Xie Xuanchen’s hands, it carried an indomitably murderous aura, violently being swung around.

It’s no wonder that he denied it when Mu Mingtang asked if the sword was his special weapon. It turned out that he was good at many weapons, but the most unique one was his swordsmanship.

Xie Xuanchen finally smiled when he heard this, “Okay, I’ll keep it for you.”

Xie Xuanchen’s choice of alcohol was a strong wine and Mu Mingtang knew that her tolerance was low, so she didn’t drink with him at all and just sat on the side quietly with him. Seeing that the jars of wine placed here had bottomed out, she felt that it was about enough and said, “That’s enough, stop drinking; any more and you’re going to get drunk.”

Xie Xuanchen threw the empty wine jar onto the snow with a nonchalant expression on his face, “How could I be drunk?”

“We are all mortal beings, why can’t you get drunk?” Mu Mingtang wanted to stop him from drinking again, but she didn’t pay attention to his surroundings just now. Upon standing up, she found a few wine jars scattered behind the opposite stone table, which were all empty.

Mu Mingtang was taken aback and quickly faced Xie Xuanchen, “Before I came, you already drank a lot?”

“Yeah,” Xie Xuanchen admitted honestly, “It’s just after drinking that I wanted to sweat from some exercise.”Expplôre uptodate stories at no/vel//bin(.)com
