Chapter 137 - Ruan Xingzhu

As the wine entered their stomachs, everyone could not help but smack their lips. In the end, the taste of the royal family's wine was extraordinary.

"Prince Duan, are you out to play? Is there something you need? " Ling Xiao knew that Duan Zhengchun was prepared to change the topic, but he would not let him succeed.

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun's face changed, he then sighed, he knew he had to give Ling Xiao an explanation, and of course Duan Zhengchun did not dare show it to him.

Duan Zhengchun didn't directly answer. Instead, he turned around and glanced at Gu Ducheng, and said: "You can go back now.

Gu Ducheng was startled upon hearing this. As Duan Zhengchun's personal bodyguard, when Duan Zhengchun went out, he was responsible for Duan Zhengchun's safety. Naturally, he would not be too far away from Duan Zhengchun.

He didn't think that with just a word from Ling Xiao, Duan Zhengchun would want to send him off. After a somewhat disbelieving glance at Ling Xiao, Gu Ducheng still obediently left. After all, no matter how intimate their relationship was, they were only master and servant, unable to resist.

Therefore, Gu Ducheng left the pavilion and arrived next to the wooden house. There, he could clearly see every movement in the pavilion.

After Gu Ducheng left, Duan Zhengchun looked at Ah Zi with an expressionless face, and then looked at Ling Xiao and said: "Sect Master Ling, this king has just come out to stroll."

"It doesn't look like it. The great King of Dali only took one of her personal bodyguard out to play. That's not the way to play right?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, he knew that Duan Zhengchun must have something that he was hiding from him.

After a moment of silence, Duan Zhengchun lifted his head and looked at Xiao Feng, not saying a word.

Ling Xiao understood, he wanted Xiao Feng to also leave this place.

"Eldest Brother Xiao Feng?" Ling Xiao also turned to look at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng was not an idiot, he obviously understood what Ling Xiao meant, but he wanted to ask Duan Zhengchun a few questions, but taking Ling Xiao into consideration, Xiao Feng nodded his head and left.

Before leaving, Xiao Feng gave Ling Xiao a few meaningful glances, as if there was something he wanted to remind him of. Of course Ling Xiao understood, so he nodded slightly towards Xiao Feng to let him be at ease.

Thus, only Ling Xiao, Ah Zi and Duan Zhengchun remained in the pavilion.

"Alright, everyone has left. If Prince Duan has anything to say, just say it." Ling Xiao drank another mouthful of the wine and laughed as he looked at Duan Zhengchun.

"Indeed, nothing can escape the eyes of Sect Master Ling. That's right, I have matters to attend to here, but this is a private matter, I hope that Sect Master Ling will not interfere in this matter." After Duan Zhengchun saw that no one was related to him and left, he went straight to the point.

Ling Xiao looked at the confused Ah Zi and asked indifferently: What private matter would require the use of the astrologer's disciples to secretly track and capture a weak girl?

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun's face slightly changed, he did not expect Ling Xiao to point it out in front of him.

Hearing this, Ah Zi also looked at Duan Zhengchun with wide eyes, wanting to hear a reasonable explanation from his mouth.

He didn't know what secrets Duan Zhengchun had with him, but he still had a very awkward expression on his face, and seeing this scene, Ling Xiao more or less could guess what it was. This Ah Zi had some sort of unspeakable secret relationship with Duan Zhengchun, and then, Duan Zhengchun didn't want to speak of it in front of Ah Zi, or rather, didn't want to speak of it in front of Ling Xiao.

"Sect Master Ling, there are some things this king should not say." Duan Zhengchun looked at Ling Xiao with a little difficulty, hoping that he would stop talking here.

If it wasn't for the presence of Ah Zi, Ling Xiao really didn't want to meddle in this sort of trivial matter, but the person who had promised Ah Zi on horseback earlier, would have definitely questioned Duan Zhengchun on her behalf.

"But I will not let Miss Ah Zi stay here alone." Ling Xiao looked at Duan Zhengchun, and shook his head.

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun's face turned ugly: "It's not like I'm going to eat her."

"Ask her yourself, then." Ling Xiao indicated with his mouth towards Ah Zi.

Duan Zhengchun sighed, and turned to look at Ah Zi, but the other party had already turned away, this action clearly showed that he was not willing to be alone with Duan Zhengchun.

"Miss, this king indeed has something very important to tell you. If you had not come to the Dali, I'm afraid that you would never know about this matter." Duan Zhengchun looked at Ah Zi, his gaze kind and his tone gentle, yet under these circumstances, he gave others a strange feeling.

Ah Zi felt that Duan Zhengchun's feelings towards him were extremely weird, and actually didn't know what to do, so he could only turn his head to Ling Xiao and ask for help.

"Miss Ah Zi is extremely innocent. If there is anything bad, it is better for Prince Duan to not speak of it, she has already suffered a lot. If Prince Duan wants to be good to her, it is better to think about it carefully before making a decision." Ling Xiao looked at Duan Zhengchun with a profound look, and said with a serious expression.

Ling Xiao had already confirmed his guess, similar to Mu Wanqing from back then, that this Ah Zi was related to Duan Zhengchun by blood!

After Duan Zhengchun found out that Ah Zi had entered the Dali, he wanted to go and reunite with her, but this was after all, the territory of the Dali, and Dao Baifeng's forces were probably all over the place. If Duan Zhengchun had swaggered over to find Ah Zi, he would definitely be discovered by Dao Baifeng, and at that time, there would definitely be big trouble.

"However, I still have to pay back the debts I owed back then." Although he did not say it out loud, Ling Xiao already understood Duan Zhengchun's determination to tell this secret to Ah Zi.

"Then has Prince Duan ever thought of this? "Don't ruin a person's future just because of your own selfishness." Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.

As the atmosphere in the air gradually became silent, Ah Zi also noticed that something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to leave.

Ling Xiao noticed Ah Zi's movements, so he looked at Duan Zhengchun and said indifferently: Prince Duan, you have seen him too, why don't you let this matter go?

Seeing that, Duan Zhengchun wanted to reach out for her, but unexpectedly, a female voice came out of the pavilion.

"Duan Zhengchun, you left me alone in the wooden house, bored to death not caring about it. Instead, you came out to enjoy the cool air, are you even a man?" Everyone turned their heads to look and discovered that it was a woman with outstanding looks. However, judging from the ugly expression on her face, she was probably angry.

Obviously, Duan Zhengchun did not expect that woman to come out, and her expression immediately changed into one of extreme awkwardness.

"Star Bamboo, why are you here?" Didn't they say that they would come and find you when This King is done? " Duan Zhengchun forced out a smile and said to the lady.

But when Ling Xiao thought about it in his mind, he remembered a person, Ruan Xingzhu.
