"Woah, what a smart guy~!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in admiration after she heard the Third Prince's story.
"But isn't it easy to detect the already used spirit stones since the spiritual energy stored inside them will be weakened?" Tang Li Xue asked again curiously.
The Third Prince shook his head and replied: "They used a strange trick to make the used spirit stones still look perfect on the surface."
Tang Li Xue pinched her fair chin as she wondered if she could also learn this strange trick and use it to fool the cultivators in Lightwind Continent if she someday returned back to Lightwind Continent.
Right at this time, their carriage had finally reached the Imperial Palace.
"We have arrived at the Imperial Palace. I am sorry, Miss Tang, but can you please wear that [Aura Hiding Cloak] and [Moon Covering Veil] first? It would be troublesome if your dazzling appearance attracted unwanted attention from some annoying people." The Third Prince politely said to Tang Li Xue.
"Oh, okay." Tang Li Xue nodded as she wore the [Aura Hiding Cloak] and [Moon Covering Veil] to cover her fox tails, fox ears, and face.
The Third Prince jumped down the carriage first before he held Tang Li Xue's hand and helped her to get off the carriage too.
Tang Li Xue was currently still sickly and weak after all, so she might slip and fall down from the carriage.
But just when the Third Prince wanted to escort Tang Li Xue into the Imperial Palace, a group of people had already gone out of the Imperial Palace's gate to greet him first.
"Big Brother Yunfei~!" A feminine melodious voice affectionately called the Third Prince. Tang Li Xue saw a beautiful young girl in a pink dress run excitedly toward the Third Prince. This young girl in the pink dress should have been extremely beautiful by the human race standards, but unfortunately, her look could only be said to be average at best when she was compared to the beauties from the Fox Clan.
Of course, it was really unfair to compare them like that since the Fox Clan was known as the most beautiful and charming race.
Despite that, Tang Li Xue did not want to flaunt or compare her looks with anyone, so she decided to stand a few steps behind the Third Prince and lowered her head in a low-key manner.
Because she had already worn [Aura Hiding Cloak] and [Moon Covering Veil], her presence had become even lower, and she was almost completely unnoticeable to everyone.
Just when the beautiful young girl in a pink dress almost reached the Third Prince and spread her hands to give him a hug, the Third Prince suddenly raised his hand to stop her instead.
"Miss Lu Yixin, you are a daughter of an aristocratic family, so can you please act more reserved?" The Third Prince said coldly to the beautiful young girl in a pink dress.
The eyes of that beautiful young girl became teary as if she was greatly wronged by the Third Prince. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Even Tang Li Xue felt that the Third Prince was a bit too harsh to that beautiful young girl. But the beautiful young girl in a pink dress was actually glaring resentfully at her instead! Tang Li Xue: ???!!!
Tang Li Xue looked around her in confusion to check if the beautiful young girl really glared resentfully at her.
'What the heck? Clearly, it was that guy who had said something harsh to her, but why the heck she glared angrily at me instead?! There is definitely something wrong with this girl's head, right?!' Tang Li Xue thought as her expression darkened.
However, the beautiful young girl changed her expression quicker than a blink of an eye right before the Third Prince realized it, and she began to talk to the Third Prince again in a soft gentle tone: "Big Brother Yunfei, who is this person?"
The beautiful young girl's coquettish tone and voice made Tang Li Xue have goosebumps, and her body felt cold.
Her feeling was really unpleasant as if her body was being wrapped and stared at by a poisonous snake.
Tang Li Xue had a strong hunch that the beautiful young girl in a pink dress was deliberately targeting her.
It was not hard for Tang Li Xue to guess the beautiful young girl's reason for that. Tang Li Xue quickly realized that this beautiful young girl should like the Third Prince very much, but the Third Prince suddenly brought another girl who was much more beautiful than her back, so it made sense this beautiful young girl would get jealous because of it, right?
'Oh, wait a minute... How does she know that I am much more beautiful than her? I have already covered myself with (Aura Hiding Cloak] and [Moon Covering Veil], right? So, she should not be able to see my appearance until now.' Tang Li Xue thought while frowning suspiciously.
Tang Li Xue smelled the thick stench of conspiracy behind all of this.
'Sigh... I see, so this should be about the struggle for the throne, huh... What a troublesome thing!' Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Tang Li Xue had seen many movies or novels about this theme in her previous life.
'Three Kingdoms' was one of her most favorite ones.
