Chapter 929: Stone Eye (1)
Countless eyes instantly landed on Li Xiaofei. When the Grand Princess had interacted with him earlier, many had been surprised, yet few had drawn any deeper conclusions. But at this moment, her attitude toward Li Xiaofei once again stood out from the rest, causing many to realize that their earlier closeness had not been a coincidence.
Zhou Shisan simply could not hold back anymore. “I don’t think he’s quite suitable.”
He continued, “His strength was lacking, his background is unknown, and his status was low. What right does he have to stand beside you, Princess, to showcase the Time Jade to everyone? It would be better if—”
“Are you teaching me how to handle things?” asked the Grand Princess. The smile had vanished from her face, and she suddenly seemed cold and harsh.
Zhou Shisan froze.
“Step aside,” she ordered mercilessly.
Zhou Shisan’s face shifted through several expressions of supreme anger and humiliation. In the end, he lowered his head in anger and reluctantly stepped aside.
The Grand Princess then turned to Li Xiaofei, and a smile like fresh spring reappeared on her face. “I wonder if this gentleman would be willing to give me the honor?”
Li Xiaofei had vaguely guessed the Grand Princess’s intention. Although he did not want to be used as a shield, he could not miss the opportunity to experience the Time Jade.
“Of course,” he replied.
Li Xiaofei took the Grand Princess’s hand. The intimate scene made Zhou Shisan and many others twitch with jealousy. Finally, hand in hand, the two of them passed through the closed formation and arrived before the pillar, now only half a meter away from the Time Jade.
At that moment, as long as Li Xiaofei acted, he could have instantly taken it. But he also wanted to see what exactly the so-called Time Jade was and how it functioned to break formations. It would be a good opportunity to let the Grand Princess demonstrate its use so that he wouldn’t be confused later.
