Chapter 1401: Is There Still Hope for Her? <<<
The dilapidated shack, roofless and deserted, stood eerily silent.
Even many people have not yet recovered from the shock of what just happened.
When they realized, the situation had changed dramatically.
Everyone was looking at Li Chen kneeling on the ground, no one dared to go up at this time.
Footsteps approached.
He is the Prince Ning.
Standing beside Li Chen, King Ning's expression was complicated.
Now he is without the anger he once had.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say condolences, but then he heard Li Chen say, "Uncle Wang, was the assassin who tried to kill me your person?"
King Ning's face changed abruptly.
He clenched his fists and stared hard at Li Chen.
Without a defense, Ning Wang knew that even if he had one, it wouldn't work.
At this point, all he had left was admiration for Li Chen.
What on earth is wrong with this nephew's head?
Just having escaped death, with the woman beside him nearly dying to save him, his first reaction was to frame himself.
"Within three days, this palace wants to see the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders raid Yueya Pass."
Li Chen got up, holding Gong Huiyu in his arms. There was no ripple on his face, and he spoke with an unquestionable celestial decree.
"Otherwise, assassinating the prince and forging weapons, two grave offenses, this palace would even risk crumbling the empire, to drag you down to an eternal hell from which you cannot be reborn."
After this incident, you are still the Prince of Northwest Ning. If you want to fight for something, you have to rely on your own ability. This palace won't bring up old matters again.
Three consecutive sentences left the King of Ning speechless.
He frowned tightly, his eyes on Li Chen filled with displeasure, resentment, but more so, fear.
A man who has just gone through the horror of life and death, and is now bearing the grief of a woman beside him, can make the most favorable choice for himself in such a short time. Such Li Chen is no reason not to make Ning Wang feel terrified.

After a long pause, King Ning slowly relaxed his clenched fist and smiled, saying: "Your Highness... wise."
Li Chen didn't speak again, and walked away holding Gong Huiyu.
Xu Wei and others hurried to follow.
The crowd dispersed, and King Ning stood still, watching Li Chen carry Gong Huiyu away, their steps firm as they disappeared around the corner. Suddenly, he burst into laughter with unrestrained excitement: "Good, good! After His Imperial Brother, this King finally feels that exhilarating sense of having a worthy opponent again. Li Chen, this King's good nephew, you have given me a taste of that long-forgotten fear."
"Each relying on his own abilities? Then come at me! Let's see if I, who haven't lost to your father, can defeat you!"
As he was leaving, Li Chen felt the warmth of Gong Huiyu's body in his arms, as well as her pulse, faint as a flickering candle in the wind. He took a breath, the end of which trembled.
"Xu Wei, come here."
Hearing Li Chen's call, Xu Wei hurried over.
"Your Highness."
Xu Wei responded softly.
"Are you a martial artist? Take a look at her, is she salvageable?"
This was an ordinary sentence, but Xu Wei felt a tremor in his heart when he heard it.
Because, he had actually heard that even when the heavens collapsed his usually unflappable Lord's voice trembled.

After uttering those words, Xu Wei knelt down with a thud and said to Li Chen, "I deserve death!"
That's all.
Li Chen looked down at Gong Huiyu, whose face was gradually paling, and said calmly, "You just told the truth."
