Chapter 515 The Princess Who Wants to Compilation 12

Liu Rufeng was completely stunned, standing stiffly in the shadows, forgetting even to breathe.

His pupils contracted sharply, and the sarcasm, calculation, and resentment in his eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant like sand and dust swept by a strong wind, leaving only pure, overwhelming shock!

His body reacted faster than his mind. An uncontrollable chill shot up from his tailbone to the top of his head, and all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant!

This... is this Huang Yunchu?! The legendary Sixth Princess who has nothing but beauty?!

He thought he knew her somewhat (though it was just a superficial impression of her being "debauched"), and that he had some information about her. But the scene before him overturned all his understanding!

This is not just fancy moves!

This is not the ordinary sword technique that noble ladies use for fun and to strengthen their bodies!

This is... this is the real killing skill!

It is a peerless swordsmanship that is enough to dominate the battlefield and dominate the world!

Its exquisiteness, sharpness, harmony and boldness were unprecedented in his life!

Even for the guards and instructors that the Second Princess's mansion prided itself on, Liu Rufeng could say with absolute certainty that they would be defeated in less than three moves in the face of such swordsmanship!

He felt as if he had been hit hard in the heart by an invisible hammer, and the suffocating pressure made his hands and feet cold.

An extremely unfamiliar and completely uncontrollable emotion suddenly erupted from the deepest part of his cold heart filled with resentment and humiliation like volcanic magma!

That is... worship.

Extremely intense, pure admiration! The raw awe and yearning for powerful force instantly overwhelmed all his psychological defenses! This was a shocking feeling from the instinct of life, a natural reverence for the pinnacle of skill.

He looked at the figure in the field who transformed the cold sword light into her own domain, looked at her focused and determined eyes flashing with confidence, and the awe-inspiring aura emanating from between her brows. Where was there any sign of debauchery, cowardice, or greed for pleasure?

Noble! Powerful! Unique!

These words exploded in his mind like thunder. These were words he would never have associated with the name "Huang Yunchu" before.

This kind of strength and control that emanated from her bones, this kind of aura far beyond that of an ordinary woman, even… even made him feel a little dazed—

The secret hidden behind this strength, the "ridiculous mask" of her endurance and humiliation, her ambitions and aspirations... are they far deeper and more terrifying than he imagined, or even than what the Second Prince fears?

Just as he was shocked and completely immersed in the storm brought about by the discovery of the shocking secret, something strange happened in the scene!

The guards on guard in the arrow tower not far away obviously also saw Liu Rufeng hiding in the shadows, or they just noticed something unusual (Liu Rufeng's excessive emotional fluctuations might have leaked his aura).

A blunt training whistle arrow (as a warning) came through the air and shot straight towards his hiding place!

The arrow is extremely fast!

Liu Rufeng was so distracted by the shocking secret that he was unable to react for a moment!

It's too late, it's faster than that!

The dazzling sword light in the arena suddenly paused, and Yun Chu seemed to have noticed it. She didn't even turn around, but with incredible flexibility and explosive power, she bent her waist backwards, almost touching the ground, and flicked her wrist backhand at the same time!

"Ding!"

A crisp sound!

Like a poisonous dragon emerging from a cave, the azure blade struck the middle of the rapidly approaching arrow shaft with lightning speed and incredible precision! The fragile training arrow was instantly shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere!

This response was so fast that it was hard for people to keep up!

Before Liu Rufeng even had time to feel the threat of death, the crisis was easily resolved by the man in the field with a sword!

His heart was pounding in his chest, almost jumping out of his throat! The feeling of "admiration" he had just felt was like being poured with a bucket of boiling oil, instantly boiling and exploding!

He froze in place, his eyes fixed on Yun Chu who slowly stood up as if he had just done something insignificant.

Her profile was clearly outlined in the morning light, and her eyes were calm. She just glanced at the broken arrow lightly, and then glanced in the direction where Liu Rufeng was hiding (there was no blame in her eyes, or even no emotion, as if she was just confirming whether an item was intact). Then she sheathed the sword, her breath instantly restrained, and she returned to that seemingly leisurely posture.

But Liu Rufeng's heart was already in turmoil!

Precision! Confidence! Unfathomable!

It's not just the exquisite swordsmanship itself, but also the state of mind that remains calm even when facing a crisis, and the sharpness to instantly perceive danger! This is definitely not achieved in a day, and it is not something that a playboy can possess!

The fear and relief of being rescued in that moment, as well as the awe and admiration that surged over him again and almost swallowed him up, violently impacted his will.

He could no longer stay there, and almost crawled and fled from the shadows in a miserable state. His steps were unsteady and he didn't even have the courage to look back.

But the figure holding the sword in the morning light, the exquisite sword light, and the powerful aura that seemed to be able to cut through all the haze, had been like a red-hot iron, deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul.

As he was fleeing, a thought came to him, bringing with it an unprecedented chill that froze his remaining resentment:

Everyone has been deceived by her... including the Second Prince! What on earth is she planning to do?!

And another voice, faint but persistent, echoed in his frantic heartbeat:

Is this... the real power?

Liu Rufeng almost staggered and fled back to his room almost instinctively.

He closed the door, slid down to the ground with his back against the door panel, his heart still beating wildly in his chest, and cold sweat on his forehead.

The morning light filtered through the window lattice, casting mottled shadows on the ground, but he only felt cold all over, as if he had just crawled out of an ice cave.

That stunning glimpse in the martial arts training ground, the sword light that seemed to be able to shatter the soul, the unfathomable control, and finally the indifference that resolved the crisis with a casual blow... all of this was like a red-hot iron, deeply imprinted in his sea of ​​consciousness, burning repeatedly.

"She is not Huang Yunchu... No, she is! But she is definitely not the Huang Yunchu in the rumors!" Liu Rufeng whispered, his voice trembling with an almost inaudible awe that he himself did not even notice.

The perception of him as a "dissolute waste" was completely shattered, leaving only immense doubt and panic. "Everyone has been deceived by her! Second Prince... Second Prince has miscalculated too!" This thought, with a piercing chill, swept over him.

This secret is too big!

Big enough to overturn the Second Princess's plan!

It’s so serious that he can’t afford the consequences of concealing the truth!

Fear and his long-held awe of the Second Princess instantly overwhelmed the shock in his heart. He had to pass this on immediately!

Liu Rufeng suddenly stood up and rushed to the table.

He didn't dare leave any substantial written traces, as there were spies everywhere in the mansion, and it was too dangerous.

He suppressed his turbulent emotions and tried to recall one of the emergency communication methods he had agreed upon with the Second Prince's secret guards before he was placed in the Sixth Princess's Mansion - a special food box.

He acted quickly:

He took out a box of the uniquely shaped "Nine Treasures Cake" given by the Second Prince.

Carefully picking off a few dried fruits with specific positions and patterns (such as the placement of lotus seeds and the location and number of dried plums), this "code" that only the designated recipient could decipher silently conveyed the message: "Huang Yunchu is a hidden being, possessing astonishing martial power, far exceeding that of ordinary people. Please be vigilant! His disguise is very thorough, investigate immediately!"

He summoned the servant he had brought into the mansion, ostensibly a kitchen helper, and whispered, "Today's kitchen duties are as usual. Send this Nine Treasures Cake to Qingyunzhai. Say it's a gift from His Highness for the shopkeeper to try. Hurry!"

This Qingyunzhai, which is openly a pastry shop, is actually a hidden contact point for the Second Prince in the capital.

The servant hurried away carrying the food box.
