Chapter 493 “The Plot of Cultivating the Phoenix Manor’s Next Mistress (1)”

In honest truth, Cong Lu truly did not expect his friend to notice his presence, let alone know he’s nearby. To be clear, this wasn’t the royal guard captain looking down at the boy, rather he went the extra mile to hide his own aura to avoid such an outcome.

“Did you forget? This is the Phoenix Manor. Every blade of grass, every tree, all of it was arranged by me.” Making a faint smile, Feng Shen readily reminds his friend of this important fact.

From the surface this place may appear harmless and without danger, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth. Feng Shen was very proficient in traps and strategic formations, making the entirety of the Phoenix Manor a giant mechanical contraption of death.

“Was it you who told her about the Phoenix Edict?”

“I’m sorry, I had intended to stop her from coming.” Issuing out a sigh, Cong Lu admits to the truth by making a guilty face.

“You like Xue Pian Ran, this point I’ve long known about it. But you shouldn’t have allowed her to make a scene in front of Ling Yue’s presence.” Devoid of any harmony in his voice, Feng Shen was a completely different person from his daylight self.

Whenever things involved the girl, the boy would instantly toss away his identity as the leader of the Phoenix Manor and become an overprotective man.

“Feng Shen, you really don’t like Pian Ran at all? But it was you who had her serve you back then.” Its like the boy said, Cong Lu have long liked the Sacred Maiden since he was young.

This man could still vividly remember that day when Feng Shen came down with that intense cold back during their childhood. During that period, the boy specifically pointed at Xue Pian Ran when asked by the king on who to serve him, and it was precisely this reason that the marriage was arranged out of consideration for the boy’s future.

It’s just that whether it be the girl or this man, none was able to see through to the truth. It wasn’t Feng Shen back then who did the pointing, it was Wu Chong!

Because of this incident, the two opposing personalities even went as far as to go through a cold war for a period.

The reasoning for Wu Chong’s argument was very simple: if they need someone to serve then its all the same. Whether it be they are ugly or beautiful, just so long as it’s a woman then its fine, even if it means its Cong Lu’s favored woman.

In that blasted bastard’s viewpoint, there’s no such thing as off limits just because a friend has dibs. He only knows Xue Pian Ran has a lot of value.

As for Feng Shen, the boy only assumed he wouldn’t make it past twenty with his physique, that’s why he didn’t bother to clear things up back then. Well, that was until he met Ling Yue, thus bringing to life his inner greedy desire.

“Second Brother, I will enter the palace tomorrow and dissolve the marriage arrangement.” As a decisive person, there’s no way Feng Shen would allow his woman to suffer the slightest wrong now that he’s set on the girl.

“Feng Shen, if you really want what’s good for her then be more cautious. You know it as well, this is North Qing. The strength and influence of the Dan Palace cannot be underestimated.”

“Cong Lu, the Phoenix Manor has never feared the Dan Palace, not in the past, and not in the future.” The perseverance in Feng Shen’s voice was as solid as a rock.
