Chapter 189 Disciple, Don’t Quarrel (5)_1
The Emperor’s legitimate son!
Oh, what high status!
Upon hearing that the evildoer was actually a noble prince, Cai Wei’s heart fluttered. She had no idea she had inadvertently saved such an important character and had got merely twenty thousand taels of silver for it. What a loss!
Seeing Cai Wei’s silence, Nangong Yi thought she was frightened by Tianjizi. He comforted her, saying: "Wei’er, there’s no need to be too afraid. I’ve already spoken with Old Li. We’re going to wait for him here. Once he arrives, we’ll deal with him together, then go back to the capital!"
Now, Cai Wei understood her situation. She had unwittingly become embroiled in a fight for the throne. Already in a bind, unwilling or not, the formidable figure—Daoist Master Tianjizi, was coming, most likely for her, possibly to take her life!
The feeling of the enemy lurking in the shadows while she was exposed was awful, especially when the opponent was so formidable. Cai Wei felt that if she didn’t do something and just naively waited for Tianjizi, with his profound Daoist skills, to come and kill her, she would be too passive!
On the way back to the inn, Cai Wei sat in the corner of the carriage, resting her cheek on her hand, lost in thought, contemplating how to deal with Tianjizi. The carriage traveled for a long while without a peep from her.
Nangong Yi silently watched the concentrated girl. He suddenly spoke, "Wei’er, I seem to remember that when I was unconscious, I was in a very good place. Was that place Fu You Island from the legends?"
Cai Wei glanced at him coldly but didn’t say a word.
