Chapter 197: First Update
"Why hasn’t he woken up yet?" A person in the darkness grew impatient and turned to ask a man who only reached his shoulder, who was none other than Lan Xing, the most capable guard of the Eldest Princess. Lan Xing was tall and thin, perpetually distant and indifferent to strangers, but he was efficient and decisive in his actions. Now, he had even surpassed the Hidden Guard in status within the Princess Mansion. The only regret was that his face could only be described as passable.
Therefore, as Lan Xing gazed at the youth lying on the bed with eyes tightly closed yet still incapable of hiding his handsome features, he was unsure how to interpret the intent of Zheng Tianxin.
"I should be asking you!" The man in black spoke with an unfriendly tone, moving forward to take a closer look, "Is this the person you mentioned? So unreliable, how could he possibly be the one we’re looking for."
Lan Xing didn’t respond, aware as he was of Master Yin He’s abilities, more so than anyone else. When the Second Prince was still alive, it would have been impossible for him to get close to him.
Zheng Tianxin also once coveted the heart of the deceased Zheng Muyuan, for Zheng Muyuan had relied on the Loyal Warriors of Wen Family and the favoritism of Emperor Jingzhi, even outmaneuvering Zheng Tianxin for some possessions.
"I assure you, the person you’re speaking of, Master Yin He here is the closest match," Lan Xing didn’t ramble. "However, I’m also unsure what has happened to him that has caused him to end up in this state, and his abilities have been damaged, with his memory gone as well."
The man in black turned his skeptical gaze towards Lan Xing, and after another examination of the youth on the bed, fell silent. However, he did not object, as the circumstances Lan Xing mentioned were indeed possible.
"Eldest Princess, why have you come?" Lan Xing heard a sound from behind and turned to see Zheng Tianxin walking in with her maid, Jin Luo.
Lan Xing was slightly startled but quickly had his guards add two more torches, brightening the dungeon somewhat.
