Lin Jiangnian's words made Liu Su slightly stunned.
She raised her eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian, her voice gradually becoming colder: "Aren't you afraid of death?!"
"Of course I'm afraid!"
Lin Jiang laughed and asked, "Your leader wants to kill me?"
Liu Su was silent for a moment, her eyes confused: "I don't know."
She guessed the reason why the leader wanted to meet Lin Jiangnian, but she was not sure whether the leader would pose a threat to Lin Jiangnian.
This is also the reason why she hesitated.
She couldn't guarantee...
"You don't know either, so why are you worried?"
Lin Jiangnian saw her worry.
Liu Su remained silent, looking at Lin Jiangnian with a slightly complicated look.
After a while, she took a deep breath and said, "No need... You don't have the Xuanyang Map in your hand, so it will be of no help to the leader. If you meet him, it will be very disadvantageous to you!"
In the end, she gave up the idea.
Perhaps she had already made her choice from the very beginning.
"What about you?"
Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked.
Liu Su's eyes narrowed slightly, but she said nothing.
"Your leader asked you to bring me back. If you can't do it... will your leader punish you?"
Lin Jiangnian asked in a gentle tone.
Liu Su looked away slightly and said, "No."
"really?"
"I am the Saint of the Celestial God Cult. The Cult Master will not harm me."
Lin Jiangnian stared quietly at Liu Su's cold and stubborn face and sighed softly: "Then, how did your mother die?"
Hearing this, Liu Su's delicate body suddenly trembled slightly, and she turned her head to stare at Lin Jiangnian: "You..."
"Your mother was the previous Saint of the Celestial God Cult. You should have guessed how she passed away, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Su, who had always been calm, became slightly excited.
She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
"Your mother is the Saint of the Celestial God Cult. She fell in love with Jiang Cheng, the former governor of Xunyang, and became pregnant and gave birth to you... This is undoubtedly a taboo for the Celestial God Cult."
"It's impossible to know what exactly happened within the Celestial God Cult, but your mother passed away for no apparent reason. Judging from all the signs, she most likely died at the hands of your Cult Leader, right?"
Lin Jiangnian's tone became softer, and there was a hint of regret in his heart.
During the six months that Liu Su had been away, Lin Jiangnian had been searching for her whereabouts. Although he hadn't been able to find any trace of her, he had managed to find out some information about the Celestial God Cult.
At the beginning, Lin Jiangnian learned about the relationship between Liu Su and Zhiyuan from Lin Hengzhong, and also learned that Liu Su's mother was the previous saint of the Tianshen Sect.
Intelligence investigation revealed that Liu Su's mother died of illness!
But Lin Hengzhong mentioned that there seemed to be another hidden story.
How could it be possible that a Saintess of the Heavenly God Religion, possessing remarkable martial arts skills and strong physical fitness, died of illness for no reason?
More importantly, it was said that when the entire Jiang family of Xunyang was executed, Liu Su's mother went to Xunyang City to try to save Jiang Cheng.
I just don't know why it ended up in nothing.
Later, Lin Jiangnian found some clues while investigating the Celestial God Cult. The information about the previous Saint of the Celestial God Cult was not a secret.
Listening to Lin Jiangnian's words, Liu Su's delicate body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared at Lin Jiangnian: "What else do you know?!"
“No more.”
Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: "What I know is the same as what you know, it's just speculation..."
He was just guessing, but Liu Su's reaction just proved that Lin Jiangnian's guess was correct.
At this moment, countless emotions flashed across Liu Su's beautiful and cold face.
Finally, she took a deep breath and said coldly, "That's right!"
"My mother...her death is most likely related to him!"
After meeting Lin Hengzhong at the Prince Lin's Mansion, Liu Su began to suspect that the leader had deceived her.
Liu Su never knew that her father was Jiang Cheng, the former governor of Xunyang. The leader never mentioned it either, and whenever Liu Su asked, he always said he didn't know.
Can……
How could the leader not know?
He lied to her!
Even more...
Lin Jiang asked in a young voice: "What are you going to do? Continue to stay in the Tianshen Sect, or..."
Liu Su lowered her eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, "I came to the capital this time to ask the leader for clarification..."
"Then what?"
"I have no idea."
Liu Su's eyes were slightly cold and a little confused.
She doesn't know either...
Or perhaps, I don’t dare to be clear.
She just guessed that her mother's death was related to the leader.
But if there was a misunderstanding...
After all, the leader raised her.
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian slowly stood up and walked over to Liu Su. Liu Su raised her eyes and stared at him with a slightly cold gaze.
"You actually already have the answer in your heart, but you just don't want to believe it, right?"
Lin Jiang spoke in a young voice, "When the Jiang family was executed, your mother wanted to go find Prince Lin. But you were too young at the time, and she couldn't let you go. Then, a few years later... From all indications, it seems your mother wanted to entrust you to Prince Lin to avenge your father."
"But it was never resolved. And then, when the Lin Palace heard the next news about your mother, she had already passed away..."
“…”
"Of course, it's not ruled out that your mother's death was indeed an accident and had nothing to do with your leader..."
Lin Jiangnian looked at Liu Su quietly and spoke softly.
Liu Su's eyes turned cold, and her bare hands clenched tightly under her sleeves: "If that's the case, why did he lie to me?!"
"Perhaps, he doesn't want you to bear too much hatred after you know it?"
“…”
Liu Su didn't say anything.
But obviously, this explanation is very weak.
"No one knows the truth, but..."
Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "If that's really the case, what are you going to do?"
Liu Su's tone was slightly cold, and she took a deep breath: "He killed my mother, so of course I have to avenge her!"
Lin Jiangnian took Liu Su's hand and said softly, "Then I'll accompany you to meet your leader, how about that?"
Liu Su was slightly stunned, her eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, staring at him for a long time.
Finally, she took a deep breath, and the frost in her eyes seemed to melt slightly.
"good."
“…”
Liu Su left.
He left very decisively!
He came quietly and left in style.
Just like her personality, and just like when they first met secretly in the Prince Lin's Mansion.
However, compared to when I was in Prince Lin’s Mansion, it is somewhat different!
Lin Jiangnian stood there, lost in thought.
He had long wanted to meet this legendary leader of the Heavenly God Religion and learn from him!
This person's identity is mysterious and his origins are unknown.
The purpose is also very strange!
The Tianshen Sect originated in southern Xinjiang, and that area was wiped out by Lin Hengzhong more than ten years ago.
This Tianshen Sect has some connections with the countries in southern Xinjiang. The love Gu that Liu Su knows was even mentioned by Senior Li from Ruyi Tower to be related to certain royal families in southern Xinjiang.
In this way, the origin of the Tianshen Sect is probably clear. But this leader is really elusive, even Liu Su is not sure of his identity.
Liu Su is the Holy Maiden of the Celestial God Religion. If anyone wants her to leave the Religion, they will have to confront this mysterious leader sooner or later.
This time, it’s a good opportunity!
However, Lin Jiangnian was not reckless. The leader's martial arts skills were not weak, and Lin Jiangnian would not really go alone.
Before meeting the leader, he had to make some preparations.
Thinking about this, Lin Jiangnian walked to the door and pushed it open.
Outside the door, the cold winter wind was howling. In the night, snowflakes were still falling from the sky, and the sky and the earth were covered with white.
It’s getting late. I wonder if Zhiyuan has returned?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian left the room and turned to the next courtyard.
However, to Lin Jiangnian's regret, Zhiyuan's room was pitch black and empty.
Not back?
Is she really hiding at her aunt's place?
Realizing this, Lin Jiangnian was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Are you trying to play tricks on him?
They don’t even dare to come back. Are they afraid of his revenge?
Seeing that Zhiyuan didn't come back, Lin Jiangnian had to give up temporarily.
Zhiyuan was hiding at her aunt's place, so Lin Jiangnian naturally couldn't go look for her. If he did, he might even get scolded.
Thinking of this, he sighed and was about to turn around and leave.
In the next room, a crack was carefully opened. Through the crack, a pair of sneaky and clever eyes appeared.
"Your Highness?!"
"Xiaozhu."
Lin Jiangnian saw the little maid sneaking around the crack in the door and asked, "Why haven't you rested yet?"
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Xiao Zhu blinked her bright eyes, glanced behind His Highness, and then suddenly realized: "Your Highness, are you here to see Sister Zhiyuan?"
"Sister Zhiyuan, you haven't come back yet~"
Xiao Zhu's tone was inexplicably relaxed, with a hint of gloating.
"Is Zhiyuan at my aunt's place?"
"OK!"
Xiao Zhu narrowed her eyes into slits and was about to say something when she saw His Highness suddenly walking towards her.
Xiao Zhu seemed to realize something was wrong and hurriedly tried to close the door: "Your Highness, Xiao Zhu is going to rest. Good night!"
As she said this, she was about to close the door.
But it was just halfway closed and could no longer be closed.
Lin Jiangnian blocked the door with one hand, opened it a crack, and then stepped in.
“Ouch!”
Xiao Zhu was squeezed by Lin Jiangnian and fell directly on the carpet in the room, which hurt her butt.
“It hurts!”
Xiao Zhu fell and cried out softly, her tone aggrieved, and she looked at her own prince with a resentful expression.
"Where does it hurt?"
Lin Jiangnian closed the door and looked at Xiao Zhu: "Come, let His Highness help you take a look?"
“No, don’t…”
Xiao Zhu's face immediately turned red, and she shyly refused, struggling to get up from the ground.
But just as he stood up, Lin Jiangnian hugged him and said, "Come, let His Highness see where it hurts and rub it for you."
As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian's big hand skillfully fell on the little maid's perky little butt, stroking it gently.
"Your Highness, no, don't..."
The little maid's petite body suddenly stiffened, and her whole body was embraced by His Highness. The familiar hot breath made her blush and feel shy.
She struggled a little, but soon became weak all over.
Under the scorching body temperature of His Highness and his skilled techniques, she soon became limp all over, breathing rapidly, with a fragrance coming out of her mouth, her eyes like water, and her voice gentle and soft, with a hint of anger.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
Lin Jiangnian held the little maid in his arms and spoke softly.
"Hmm..." The little maid's voice was very soft, as if she had very little strength.
Lin Jiangnian picked up the light-bodied maid, came to the bed, and gently placed Xiaozhu on the bed.
Then, he leaned close to Xiao Zhu's ear and said with a slightly wicked smile: "Xiao Zhu, His Highness has just developed a new move..."
Xiao Zhu's face flushed red, and her eyes, which had been slightly distracted, suddenly became hot and red with shame, and she subconsciously wanted to bury her head.
But in the end, she blushed, bit her lips, nodded nervously, and then...
It’s late at night and everyone is asleep!
Inside the Hibiscus Tent...
Another night of love!
…
early morning.
The heavy snow gradually stopped, and the eaves and yard were covered with a thick layer of snow again.
It’s deep winter and the end of the year is approaching!
Lin Jiangnian got up early and felt refreshed.
After tossing and turning for half the night, the little maidservant was overwhelmed and fell into a deep sleep, sleeping soundly.
Lin Jiangnian didn't wake her up, letting her continue to rest. He got up and left the room. Before Zhiyuan came back, he went to visit his aunt.
As soon as I arrived at my aunt's place, I heard the maid in the yard say that my aunt had left Jiang Mansion early in the morning and went to the palace.
I heard that it was the Queen Mother in the palace who called her into the palace to enjoy the snow scenery.
However, Lin Jiangnian always felt that the Queen was not just enjoying the snow scenery.
When his aunt was not around, Lin Jiangnian saw Zhiyuan in the backyard.
Zhiyuan, wearing a mink long dress, was standing quietly under the eaves, saying something to the twin sisters.
When Lin Jiangnian approached, the sisters were obviously a little nervous and were about to kneel down.
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and came to Zhiyuan's side: "What are you doing?"
Zhiyuan glanced back at him and said nothing.
The girl named Jasmine explained carefully: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Consort is teaching my sister and me the etiquette of the mansion..."
Zhiyuan glanced at the two of them with a cold gaze before saying expressionlessly, "I'm not the Crown Prince's Consort."
"ah?"
Jasmine was obviously stunned and looked a little confused.
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but laugh. Was Zhiyuan saying this on purpose for him to hear?
"Don't listen to what your mistress says, she is!"
Lin Jiangnian said, pointing to the kite next to him, and said to the sisters: "She is your future prince's consort. Her words represent my words. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Although the sisters Jasmine and Fengling didn't understand why, they still nodded respectfully in agreement.
Zhiyuan turned around and glared at him.
Lin Jiangnian chuckled and waved his hand: "You guys go down first."
Jasmine and Fengling were about to leave when Zhiyuan seemed to realize something and looked a little unnatural: "Wait..."
She glanced at the two sisters, then glanced at Lin Jiangnian from the corner of her eye, and said expressionlessly, "Come with me."
With that, Zhiyuan hurried away, leaving the two sisters blinking, not knowing what had happened.
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian knew that Zhiyuan was worried about being alone with her.
He hid at his aunt's place last night and ran away quickly today... It's obvious that he is guilty.
Lin Jiangnian originally wanted to talk to Zhiyuan for a while, but seeing Zhiyuan's guilty look as she hurried away, he thought about it and decided to wait a while.
Thinking of this, he saw the two sisters still looking at him cautiously, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys go ahead. Tell Zhiyuan for me that I need to go out for a while and may be back later!"
"yes."
After finishing the explanation, Lin Jiangnian turned around and left the house!
