Chapter 236 - 222: Meet the Ghost King; Hiding in the Palace of Crown Prince 2
Having heard him say so, a chill instantly went down Xie Lian's back, and each of his hairs was raised.
It was as if he could feel what it was like that night Guoshi had snuck into Jun Wu's room and removed that mask, and he heard Jun Wu rise to his feet from the tableside, coming this way slowly.
Hua Cheng was just standing behind the curtains next to the bed! When Xie Lian got onto the bed he had hidden Fang Xin underneath the pillow, and at this moment, the hand on the hilt clenched it tight, waiting for the right moment, but at the same time, doubtful if there really would be the right opportune moment. Yet unexpectedly, Jun Wu didn't go to the curtains, but instead came to the bedside and lifted the cover on his body directly. Xie Lian felt his body go chill and shot up, glaring at him, but Jun Wu only eyed him calculatingly and said quietly, "This robe doesn't suit you."
"..."
Only then did Xie Lian remember that he was still wearing the Brocade Immortal! Although the Brocade Immortal had now turned into a white cultivation robe, but of course Jun Wu wouldn't have missed it. He watched Xie Lian calculatingly for a moment, sighed, and said, "You just wouldn't listen to me. You went out to cause trouble again, didn't you?"
Xie Lian watched him anxiously when suddenly, his eyes swept onto the table, and upon it was a gift box. The gift box was already unwrapped, and inside it was a few cabbages, several potatoes and some carrots.
"..."
So it turns out when the Rain Master stopped Jun Wu just now and said she forgot to give him something, she meant the souvenirs from YuShi Country...
Behind Jun Wu, Hua Cheng soundlessly used a hand and raised a corner of the curtain, revealing his face behind, and met his eyes with Xie Lian's through Jun Wu. His hand slowly rested on the silver scimitar hilt hung on his waist, seeming to be deliberating on whether to make a move immediately. Xie Lian didn't think it was the right moment, and whilst pretending to not want to talk to Jun Wu, he shook his head.
"Where did you hide Ling Wen?" Jun Wu asked.
Of course he couldn't give him Ling Wen. The moment he saw Ling Wen there wouldn't be any need to ask her what was going on; just take a look at her daruma doll form and one could guess Hua Cheng must've snuck into the Heavenly Capital.
