Several bodyguards went forth to search but after searching all over, they were unable to find Jun Xie. That was because Jun Xie was currently being pinned down by the assassin’s corpse to the point where their bodies perfectly overlapped with one another, leading to the bodyguards’ failure to notice them. A rough looking bodyguard rushed to report to the princess. “Princess, we could not find Third Young Master Jun’s corpse. Perhaps the corpse stood up and ran away by itself.”
Listening to those words, Princess Ling Meng’s face turned black to the point of puking blood! What nonsense is this? You could not find the corpse, so maybe the corpse stood up and ran away by itself? A corpse can run away by itself?
Murong Qianjun’s face turned dark. “What are you talking about?”
The guard panicked and started stammering. “I meant, I meant, we fail to find… Third Young Master Jun’s corpse, maybe it left… nono! I meant…”
“Enough! Stop talking!” Murong Qianjun’s face turned black. “If you cannot find the corpse, that means you cannot say that he is dead! Even more so, you cannot call it a corpse. You should have said, the Third Young Master Jun’s body had disappeared! Understand?”
The bodyguards all complained inwardly: Weren’t you the one who said that he is dead? To think that you still have the face to lecture us. What a despicable person!
Princess Ling Meng felt helpless and said. “Go search again in detail. If you find Third Young Master Jun’s… body, quickly send it to the Jun Family.” Under their influence, Princess Ling Meng almost blurted the word ‘corpse’ herself.
After searching again, they were unable to find anything. Thus, Princess Ling Meng arranged for a bodyguard to report this matter to the Jun Family. Not long after the bodyguard had left on horseback, a grey figure rushed out before them. This figure turned out to be a small, thin and withered looking old man.
Murong Qianjun unsheathed his sword and asked in a stern voice. “Who?”
“I am looking for someone,” The little old man’s face was a mask of depression, as he looked everywhere. His face filled with anxiousness, he turned a deaf ear towards Murong Qianjun’s question.
Murong Qianjun was greatly infuriated and shouted. “Take him!” Considering that an assassination attempt had just been carried out against the princess, this weirdo’s appearance was a very suspicious event.
The surrounding soldiers voiced their affirmation and was about to rush forward when they saw the old man suddenly becoming exulted. “I finally found you! Haha! Why don’t you run now? Your grandmother’s little bastard! You have a sword piercing through you, huh? Let’s see if you still dare to run away again!” He shouted out in a gloating tone.
All they saw was him kneeling down before an assassin’s corpse and was in the process of pulling out a sword.
“He is in league with the assassin’s, take him down!” Murong Qianjun became overjoyed. He felt that this person was really stupid. All the assassins here had already died and yet he chose to enter this place, which was surrounded by the army to find a corpse.
