Chapter 92: Such Faith
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor:
EndlessFantasy TranslationWere there truly any genuine feelings amongst members of the royal family? Besides the emperor and Consort Li who treated the princess with genuine intentions, the only other people to do so may well be these two secret guards who have always been protecting the fifth princess from the shadows. Rumor had it that the fifth princess was cruel, but was that really the truth? It looks as though it might not be entirely. It was frightening to think that this was the intentional doing of someone. Not much thinking was needed to decipher that someone was slandering the fifth princess and that it was definitely someone from within the royal family. Perhaps it was even someone the fifth princess held dear. Seeing the sincere emotion that poured out from the fifth princess towards the secret guards made Ling Chuxi recall her past. There was also someone in her life who had once protected her without caring about any consequences for doing so. Therefore, how could she let such sincere feelings about other such people be thus devastated?

The fifth princess went from weeping to being stunned. She looked at Ling Chuxi and was struck by her calm expression. The arch of her brows gave off a strong sense of confidence.
“Miss, please don’t be silly! Those two earlier on were probably at least at Battle Qi Level-8! And even they are not equal opponents for a Wind Owl Beast. It is even less so for you,” advised the injured man immediately upon hearing Ling Chuxi’s decision.
“You better stay quiet! If it wasn’t for you, would such a thing even have happened? You’d better duck and roll aside properly!” shouted Ling Chuxi at the injured man. She then turned to the fifth princess and said, “Be obedient and wait for me here, my disciple. Also, dress that idiot’s wounds and don’t let him die. Since we’re giving him such a big hand, he’ll need to reward us. If he’s dead, then we can’t do that. Do you understand?”
The injured man stared at this scene before him, dumbfounded. The fifth princess’ eyes were looking at Ling Chuxi with great faith. Without knowing how or why she believed in Ling Chuxi, the bottom of the fifth princess’ heart was filled with unprecedented confidence in her. She vigorously nodded her head. Don’t worry, master! I won’t let this idiot die. I await your return!”
“Yichen, stay here and protect them.” Ling Chuxi spoke in a majestic tone that could not be defied. It further revealed her strong self-confidence. “Just wait for me here. That would be enough!”
When she was done speaking, Ling Chuxi’s figure blurred into a flash and she disappeared into the night—moving straight ahead to save the two secret guards.
“I’ll wait for you, master! I’ll wait!” The fifth princess clenched her fist and withdrew her gaze from the direction Ling Chuxi disappeared in to glare viciously at the injured man. “Hey, idiot. Didn’t you hear my master? Get your a** over here so I can bandage your wounds. Don’t die on us, because when my master returns, she’ll want to collect her due.”
The corners of the injured man’s lips twitched. Did she just call him an idiot? Although he was unhappy, he hid this fact and obediently went over to the fifth princess. As he made his way to her, he couldn’t help but look in the distant direction of the Wind Owl Beast. Why did that young maiden exude such strong confidence? Did she really have the ability to defeat a Wind Owl Beast and save the two secret guards? Most of all, why did this princess have such unwavering faith in her?
At present, Ling Yichen was sitting quietly with his legs crossed and his hand on his sword. As he slowly closed his eyes, he remained silent and a cool look swept across his handsome face. Such observations made the injured man all the more perplexed. This young man is the young maiden’s companion, no? He is really going to obediently keep guard here and just wait for her to return?
Why exactly did these people have this kind of faith in that young maiden?
...
By the time Ling Chuxi arrived, Wei Xin was already covered in wounds and was lying in a pool of blood, unmoving. However, Ling Chuxi could see his chest moving slowly to the rhythm of his labored breathing so she knew he was still alive. As long as he did not die, everything was easily manageable. Ling Chuxi was confident she could cure him.
At this moment, Wei Dan had also fallen into a bitter bout with the Wind Owl Beast and was clearly wounded rather heavily. When he saw Ling Chuxi arriving, he felt a burst of anger and anxiety. In this moment of distraction, he was sent flying by the Wind Owl Beast. After that, with a casual tilt of his head, he fainted.
The Wind Owl Beast was indeed very strong!
