Chapter 1458: Chapter 1452

Prince Yuan had spoken up himself.

Tu Suxuan could only shut his mouth.

"I’m going out for a stroll, you all do as you like."

Tu Suxuan really couldn’t bear to keep watching, so he left without a word.

"Big Brother, when you go out, remember to have people seal off the entire courtyard. And also, that concubine from earlier—find people to keep a close watch on her. Don’t let her slip away. No one from the Crown Prince Mansion is allowed to leave. If anyone dares try to escape, beat them to death."

As Tu Suxuan stepped over the threshold, Xin Lin casually added a line from behind him.

When Tu Suxuan heard that, his step faltered, and his eyes suddenly turned several shades sharper.

He nodded and quickly walked out.

"Second Brother, bear with it for a bit."

Xin Lin said with a squinting smile.

Prince Yuan slanted a look at Xin Lin and gave a bitter smile.

"Third Sister, how did Second Brother never realize you were this formidable before?"

"Second Brother, what are you saying? I’ve always been me, I’ve never changed."

Xin Lin said sweetly as she set the Corpse Leech onto Prince Yuan’s wound.

The moment the Corpse Leech touched the wound, it instantly turned into a streak of white light and burrowed in.

Prince Yuan’s body went rigid.

Right after that, a shrill scream sounded from inside him.

The cry was like a rat’s—sharp and thin.

Although Prince Yuan had already steeled himself mentally, when he heard that scalp-tingling noise, his face couldn’t help but darken a few more shades.

He struggled to sit up, and just then, a jet of blood shot onto his face.

Immediately after, the Corpse Leech slowly crawled out, its mouth still biting a small insect.

The insect had eight legs, and its round belly was already bloated with Prince Yuan’s Essence Blood. Its eight legs were only as thick as hairs, yet every one of them was covered in backward-facing barbs.

"Heh heh, now this is a nasty little fellow, it’s called a Wolf Spider. You people call it a Level 5 Spiritual Beast, one that many Summoning Masters love to raise. This thing is highly poisonous—it makes a person’s five organs gradually fail, and in the end it gnaws their viscera clean. Fortunately we discovered it early, and this kid’s body is pretty sturdy. A few extra doses of tonics and he’ll be fine."

The Corpse Leech said smugly.

In front of Gui Hu and Xin Lin, it was like a little grandson, but in front of outsiders—especially these insects—it was absolutely a cocky boss.

Just as the Corpse Leech crawled out with the Wolf Spider in its jaws, the door was pushed open.

Tu Suxuan kicked a terrified woman inside with one foot.

The woman’s face was streaked with tears; she was the concubine who had been accompanying Prince Yuan earlier.

"Xuerou, it’s you?"

After the Wolf Spider inside Prince Yuan had been extracted, Xin Lin fed him a few mouthfuls of Jade Pure Spring.

Some color returned to his face, and when he saw the woman being brought in, Prince Yuan’s expression turned very complicated.

"Crown Prince, please save me! Lord Xuan suddenly seized me—Xuerou is innocent."

The woman’s face was full of tear tracks, and she struggled as she tried to move closer.

"Xuerou, is it? You’re a Summoning Master too? Take a look at this Wolf Spider—do you recognize it?"

Xin Lin grabbed hold of the Wolf Spider. The spider wasn’t dead yet; its eight legs were just bound by Xin Lin’s Fu Xi’s Energy, so it couldn’t move for the moment.

Seeing the Wolf Spider, Xuerou’s expression did not change.

She lowered her eyes, her thick lashes trembling, making her look innocent and pure.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m being framed. Crown Prince, save me!"

Xuerou lunged forward, but Xin Lin let out a cold laugh.

As someone who was also a Summoning Master, how could she not know how to deal with another Summoning Master?
