Chapter 79

“How dare you get any ideas about the princess! You deserve to die!”

A slim figure landed in front of General Wang’s dead body, pasted a piece of paper onto his forehead, and leaped away . He had been instructed by the Wargod to watch Feng Xiang and ensure that the princess, Feng Tianlan, was safe . The original plan had been for him to watch over Feng Tianlan secretly . But she was very sharp and would detect him immediately, so the plan had changed to watching Feng Xiang instead .

Early the next morning, Feng Tianlan was calmly meditating in the courtyard when she felt a hostile force coming her way . She opened her eyes and saw a furious Feng Xiang marching over .

“Feng Tianlan, how could you send someone to kill General Wang? You have created another enemy for the Fengs!” Feng Xiang shouted in Feng Tianlan’s face .

“What?” Feng Tianlan looked up in confusion at the angry Feng Xiang . “General Wang? You mean the one who came yesterday?”

Feng Xiang assumed she was pretending not to know and became even angrier . “It’s fine if you don’t like him, but why did you kill him? General Wang is a high-ranking officer in South Winds Nation . Killing him is as good as going against the emperor! Do you think you’re above the law?”

“He’s been murdered?” Feng Tianlan scoffed slightly . General Wang was dead, but that had nothing to do with her .

“You weren’t the one who killed him?” Feng Xiang saw that Feng Tianlan seemed genuinely confused by this matter and started to doubt himself .

Feng Tianlan laughed . “Oh please . Did you think that I, a mere First-stage Spiritualist, could kill an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master?”

She’d already maxed out her skills battling Feng Xiuyu, who was only a Mid-stage Spiritualist . General Wang was an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master, and while she probably could have thrown a few moves at him, it wasn’t logically possible for her to have killed him . Besides, the Wang Residence was heavily guarded .

“Then, who killed him?” Feng Xiang realized that what she said made sense, but he still felt that she was connected to the incident . “Did you hire someone to kill him?”

Feng Tianlan laughed even harder as she pointed to the rundown walls of her courtyard and asked Feng Xiang sarcastically, “You think I have that sort of money?”

She did have money from secretly selling her pills, but that was not the point . Besides, killing a general didn’t require an assasin . Plenty of other things could kill him without her lifting a finger .

Feng Xiang stared long and hard at Feng Tianlan, but he also knew that what she said was true . He let out a snort and said, “We won’t just let this matter go just like that . Your mother and I will find another man for you to marry . ”

Feng Tianlan frowned as she watched Feng Xiang leave angrily, and she called Chuling over to help her find out what had happened . Everyone in town was talking about General Wang’s murder, so it wasn’t hard to get the story . Chuling quickly came back and told Feng Tianlan everything she’d heard .

General Wang’s throat had been slit not far from the Feng Residence, and a piece of paper was pasted on his forehead listing all the reasons why he deserved death along with evidence . This last bit was the more significant reason why news of his murder had spread like wildfire .

“Who in this city could have killed an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master undetected?”

Feng Tianlan immediately thought of Si Mobai . He was definitely capable, but he wasn’t in town, so it couldn’t have been him . Feng Tianlan laughed at herself silently . How could she think that General Wang had died because of her? And how could she think that Si Mobai had killed him? What a joke . Whoever had killed General Wang, his murder had settled one problem for her . At least she didn’t have to bother with this matter anymore .

Just three days later, Feng Xiang brought a man of around twenty-six or twenty-seven years into the courtyard where Feng Tianlan was staying . He happily told the young man with a smile, “Our Tianlan has a scar on her face, but if she gets her hands on a Beautifying Pill, she’ll go back to being a great beauty . Besides, her skin is as fair as porcelain…”
