1708: C1708 A little bit stronger than you

C1708 A little bit stronger than you

Seeing Murong Li's serious expression, Murong Long City also revealed a smile. Mufei had told him before that when he was born, mufei's milk wasn't enough, and's mufei had been the one to feed him, so the Murong Long City treated Murong Li's mufei with the same respect as her own, but now …

Therefore, he valued Murong Li a lot.

This was the last blood of Chu Tianjiao.

They couldn't afford to lose.

The zither music was melodious and lively, the Murong Long City's eyes were also on Murong Li's body until the end of the song.

"Pa, pa, pa."

Murong Long City clapped her hands and smiled.

"Alright!" He praised, "The zither music is very beautiful and has quite the artistic mood. It seems that the zither arts of the Nine Emperor Sister have truly received Xiao Chen's legacy."

Hearing that, Murong Li's mouth curved into a smile.

"Fourth brother must be joking, I'm still far from being able to play the zither."

Murong Long City's eyes flashed.

"Did Murong Xue find trouble with you?" His voice contained a trace of heaviness, and Murong Li's eyes revealed a sharp glint, before he nodded his head.

"Mm. But it doesn't matter. I've gotten used to it. Even if she doesn't look for me for trouble, I will still take revenge on my mufei and younger brother." Murong Li's voice was cold and unquestionable.

Murong Long City shook her head.

"Xiao Jiu …"

Murong Li looked at Murong Long City and interrupted his speech, "Fourth brother, I know you have loved me since I was young, and treated me as your own sister. You have also treated my mother concubine with respect, but this matter can't be discussed, I will not give up.

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

This matter was the pain in her heart.

Other than the Murong Long City and Xiao Chen, she had never mentioned it.

However, not mentioning it did not mean that he had forgotten.

Murong Long City sighed, raised his hand to wipe her tears, and said softly: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother will take care of you. I won't let you bully me."

After which, ten people appeared behind him.

They were all females, and there was even an old woman. She looked incomparably old, but her aura was incomparably powerful.

Murong Li's eyes flickered.

"I sent them to protect you. Of these ten people, nine of them are at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the semi-sage realm. As for her …" Murong Long City looked at the old lady, his eyes flashing, "Sub-sage realm, they will pretend to be your servants to protect you."

Murong Li's eyes were complex.

But he did not refuse.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother."

"From today onwards, you will protect the safety of the Ninth Princess. If the Ninth Princess has any of the top ten, you will all die." The Murong Long City said coldly.

"Yes sir!"

The ten people nodded with serious eyes.

After chatting for a bit longer, Murong Long City left. Looking at her back, Murong Li revealed a smile.

Afterwards, she continued to practice the zither.

Murong Long City always came to see her secretly.

However, she was satisfied.

She knew that there was still one more person who felt sorry for him, and that was enough.

As for the rest, was that important?

The ten people arranged by the Murong Long City were all Murong Li's personal maids, while the old granny acted as the manager of the princess palace, managing all of the palace's female servants.

Time passed.

Xiao Chen continued his cultivation, and Murong Li did not disturb him.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

However, Xiao Chen did not come out, and Murong Li did not mind. This was because how could he do it on time when he was cultivating in seclusion?

Murong Li, on the other hand, had learned all of the zither music.

Murong Li was incompatible with all the princes and princesses because most of the royal heirs had the support of their families. Only she had no one to rely on, if not, the Immortal Emperor would not turn a deaf ear to the death of her mother.

It was because they didn't have a powerful backer supporting them.

Hence, the princes and princesses looked down on her.

She didn't like being with them either.

Thus, he would often go out in the palace.

At this moment, she was focusing on playing chess. There was a maid guarding her while Xiao Chen walked over. When the maid felt Xiao Chen's aura, she was just about to say something when Xiao Chen gestured for her to keep quiet.

The maid and the rest knew of Xiao Chen's existence and thus did not say anything. Xiao Chen quietly came behind Murong Li and watched her play chess with the old woman. He could not help but frown.

He originally thought that the imperial princess was well versed in the art of chess because she should be, but Murong Li had really changed his perspective.

This was simply a stinky game of chess.

Back then, when Xiao Chen was playing chess with the two chess souls in the Heavenly Region for a few years, his chess skills could be said to be at the pinnacle.

Thus, he started to despise them.

In the end, she could not help but speak up, "You are a princess after all, how can you be so stupid?"

Murong Li was startled, and turned his head.

When she saw Xiao Chen with both his hands in front of his body, looking like he was pointing fingers at everything, she was so angry that her teeth were itching.

"Xiao Chen, you are the smart one!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled, "I do not deserve to be smart, but she is a little stronger than your highness."

"You …"

Murong Li stood up, walked to the old granny's side, and said: "Granny, go down with him, make him crazy."1

Xiao Chen did not allow it.

He sat in his seat and glanced at the old woman before him. Although she had a kind and gentle face, he could feel a sharp aura circulating within her body. It seemed like she was concealing her strength.

This was an expert.

At the very least, it was an existence beyond the semi-sage realm.

"Greetings, Senior. Senior, please hold the fort and go ahead." Xiao Chen said with a smile. His attitude was respectful and reasonable, while Murong Li was extremely angry. This guy had never been this respectful even to a princess like her before.

Really!

The old woman's eyes were filled with a smile as she said, "Alright, then I'll go first."

After that, Xiao Chen played chess with him.

Xiao Chen's chess skills were exquisite, and the old woman's eyes gradually turned serious. This was because she had already been forced into a corner, and it was only the first half!

When Murong Li felt the old woman's change, she could not help but look at Xiao Chen. She could feel the old woman becoming nervous, while Xiao Chen sat upright, neither humble nor haughty.

She couldn't help but be surprised.

Xiao Chen, his chess skills are actually this strong?

And he won't?

Murong Li was thinking about this in her heart. At this moment, the old woman spoke: "Young Master Xiao Chen is indeed powerful. His chess skills are superb.

Xiao Chen stood up and cupped his hands.

"Senior, you flatter me."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he glanced at Murong Li as though she was showing off to her.

Murong Li was even more angry now.

This guy.

However, he had to admit that Xiao Chen was very outstanding.

He was one of the most outstanding heaven's pride experts Murong Li had ever seen, and even Fourth Brother's Murong Long City was inferior to him!
