Teng Fengge, riding on the left side of Princess Nayi's carriage, followed Nayi's gaze to spot the handsome young man on the side of the street.

The young man's appearance made even the prideful, handsome Teng Fengge feel a bit inferior.

He's too handsome!

That was Teng Fengge's first impression.

The second, the young man was too composed!

Real strong individuals had a keen sense of their own kind.

Though he couldn't figure out the depth of the young man, Teng Fengge had an innate intuition at first glance: This young man…is a formidable opponent!

Meanwhile, his heart felt icy cold, filled with endless rage!

On what grounds!

Why does a Han boy affect you so deeply?

You're the most dazzling pearl of the royal court!

You are the goddess in the eyes of countless citizens of the royal court!

Why would you debase yourself like this?

It would have been acceptable for you to covertly admire Lin Bai, who changed your fate, but why would you lose your focus over a boy on the streets of Chu Kingdom?

For some reasons, the fires of rage in the depths of Teng Fengge's heart were ignited all at once. His eyes instantly became blood red.

How sharp was Chu Mo's perception?

The moment Teng Fengge looked at him, Chu Mo sensed a hint of hostility from him.

However, Chu Mo didn't even spare Teng Fengge a look. He just looked at Nayi who was crying for him, and softly said with a smile, "Nayi, it's been a while…"

"You… surrender your life to me!"

The fire in Teng Fengge's heart completely erupted at the moment Chu Mo uttered 'Nayi.'

What right do you have…to call Her Majesty by her name?

"Ah!" Nayi's reaction was a bit slower, her realm was not that high. However, it was probably the quickest she has ever been.

"Stop!" Nayi shouted sternly.

But it was too late. Could someone of Nayi's realm stop the full force of someone in the Understanding Heart Realm?

Truly, Teng Fengge's attack was aimed at taking Chu Mo's life!

He unrestrainedly struck out!

The whooshing long saber could decapitate not just a head, but could even chop through an iron pillar!

Wang Dafa was exceptionally skilled. The instance Teng Fengge's saber slashed towards them, Wang Dafa instinctively wanted to rush forward to shield Chu Mo.

This fight or flight reaction couldn't be faked. Although Wang Dafa was capable, he was no match for Teng Fengge. He couldn't block this attack.

Nevertheless, he wanted to rush up and block it!

Chu Mo pulled Wang Dafa beside him, and dodged to the side.

Then, as Teng Fengge's earthshattering slash reached Chu Mo, Chu Mo raised his left hand; a Thousand Heavy Hands technique… which hit the saber's side directly.

Teng Fengge let out a loud scream, feeling his entire arm go completely numb; he could no longer hold onto the saber. Immediately loosening his grip…the saber was now in Chu Mo's hand.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes. However, they then saw that the original saber of Teng Fengge was now held by Chu Mo. And then… it was at Teng Fengge's throat.

"I hold no grudges against you, why do you want to kill me?" Chu Mo frowned, looking at Teng Fengge.

"Don't…" From inside the carriage, Nayi, who still hadn't recovered from her shock, cried out, "Don't kill Lin Bai..."

Before she could finish, she realized something was wrong. Then she saw Teng Fengge getting held by Chu Mo at blade point, and was momentarily stunned.

She could hardly believe that after two years, Lin Bai was even stronger than Teng Fengge, who was in the Understanding Heart Realm.

However... even for Nayi, the current situation is quite difficult to handle.

In this matter, the fault unquestionably lies with Teng Fengge. This point is indisputable, and I believe nobody would disagree.

But the issue is, Teng Fengge is the top swordsman of the Prairie Royal Court, loyal to her and her court, hence he shouldn't die.

So, how do we deal with the injustice Lin Bai has suffered?

Nayi would rather suffer the injustice herself than see Lin Bai slighted in any way.

It might seem that she scolds Lin Bai as a deceiver when they aren't together, but just one glance at him had her captivated, with no resentment left in her heart.

In her heart, she was willing to give up the position of queen only to have Lin Bai.

Even though she now knows Lin Bai is Chu Mo, the name that remains in her heart, from beginning to end, is still Lin Bai.

Because only Lin Bai belongs to her.

Not Chu Mo.

Teng Fengge was also taken aback. He'd aimed his blade at Chu Mo's life but had never imagined that not only would he fail to take his life, but his weapon would also be taken from him and turned against him, pressed to his throat!

His arrogant nature simply couldn't bear this. His eyes red with fury, glaring at Chu Mo, he said, "Just kill me, stop beating around the bush."

"Are you trying to show me your tough side?" Chu Mo responded with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Do you think I won't kill you, out of respect for Nayi?"

Teng Fengge's face turned beet red and his lips twitched violently, struggling to speak. In his heart, he really believed this.

Right now, he knew, this young man was Lin Bai, the man the queen missed day and night.

Given this, he believed the queen would not truly harm him. So, he decided not to show any weakness, to keep the queen from looking down on him.

Unfortunately, Teng Fengge had drastically misjudged the relationship between Chu Mo and Nayi. Otherwise, he would not have been so certain.

Chu Mo glanced at Nayi and said, "He wanted to kill me."

Nayi pursed her lips, taking a deep breath.

A deadly silence followed, and everyone held their breath. Everyone's eyes were on Nayi.

Without waiting for Nayi to speak, Chu Mo continued, "Just now, if this had been me from two years ago, even if I could avoid his blow, I would still be severely injured. If it were a weaker person standing here, they would already be dismembered."

Nayi pursed her lips, wanting to blurt out, "Teng Fengge deserves to die!"

But she couldn't say this because she was the Queen of the Prairie!

She was the goddess in the hearts of all the prairie people, their supreme leader!

And Teng Fengge, he was the new hero of the prairie!

If she were to say those words today, then the reputation of the Prairie Royal Court would be ruined.

The fierce men of the prairie would not care who was wrong in this matter.

Even if it's against Lin Bai, the hero!

Because Lin Bai is a Han, and moreover... a hero from the past!

But Teng Fengge... he is the prairie people's own hero!

The current hero!

Therefore, she couldn't say those words, and she dared not say them either!

Chu Mo looked at Nayi, suddenly smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "I understand your predicament now."

As he spoke, he thrust the knife he held into the ground before Teng Fengge, planting it upright in the stone pavement.

Chu Mo glanced at Nayi, smiled lightly, did not say anything, and turned to leave.

Wang Dafa glared harshly at Nayi, lips moved, but ultimately did not say anything, got up, and left.

Nayi stood there stunned, beneath her veil... a trail of tears swiftly flowed down her exquisitely beautiful face. (To be continued. If you like this book, please come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read it on m.qidian.com)
