Chapter 1465 - 1459

Chapter 1465: Chapter 1459

At the mention of mercenary missions, Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan exchanged a look, laughter in both their eyes.

They both remembered the scenes from when they were at the Dragon Ancient Tomb.

Although that mission was very short, for the three of them, it was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

"What a pity. The three of us all have important matters on our hands now, especially Second Brother. The situation in Wangjing is hanging by a thread. Otherwise, I’d still be thinking about us three finding a chance to join the Mainland Army..."

Tu Suxuan sighed, a trace of longing in his eyes.

He and Prince Yuan were both sons of noble families, especially Prince Yuan, who shouldered the fate of Fuzhou.

They were destined never to be free and unrestrained.

So just now, when Xin Lin mentioned giving Xuerou a God of Freedom, Tu Suxuan had actually felt a moment of envy.

If Prince Yuan inherited the throne, as his brother, he naturally could not just let him shoulder everything alone.

In this lifetime, it was impossible for them to speak of having freedom again.

Back then, they had joined the Mercenary Army also for a brief taste of freedom.

Thinking of it now, that period of time, for them, was probably something they would never be able to relive.

"The Mainland Army?"

Xin Lin smiled faintly. Hearing this unfamiliar term, she couldn’t help feeling a bit curious.

"The Mainland Army is..."

Tu Suxuan was about to explain, but at this moment, his expression changed slightly and he didn’t go on.

"Why is it you lot again!"

On Sunset Avenue, Zhu Zhiyao walked over with a few people.

Some of them were familiar faces—Liu Chengtian, Bai You, and Sikong Ran.

After what had happened yesterday, Tu Suxuan knew that Noble Princess Consort Zhu and the others had secretly made a move against Second Brother, and he was very resentful toward them.

Zhu Zhiyao felt the same.

When he learned that the plan to assassinate Prince Yuan had failed, he asked about it, but his father wouldn’t explain clearly, leaving him very frustrated.

Seeing Tu Suxuan and his sister, he let out two dry laughs.

"Tu Suxuan, I hear your patron Prince Yuan ran into some trouble on the Haotian Platform last night. Why didn’t you, his lapdog, hurry over to suck up to him?"

Zhu Zhiyao’s words were clearly a probe; no one knew exactly what condition Prince Yuan was in now.

"The Crown Prince ran into trouble? How come I don’t know that? I just came back from the Crown Prince Mansion. All I know is that every single light on the Haotian Platform was lit. Ah, the Crown Prince really works hard, busying himself with the Hao Tian Festival. Not like certain people, who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long with their good-for-nothing buddies."

Tu Suxuan laughed it off.

From Tu Suxuan’s attitude, Prince Yuan really didn’t seem to be in any trouble; otherwise, he wouldn’t be in the mood to bring his own little sister out strolling the streets.

"Who are you calling good-for-nothing buddies?"

Liu Chengtian and the others were displeased as soon as they heard that, and started cursing.

"Whoever spends all day eating, drinking, and having fun, that’s who. Liu Chengtian, have you already forgotten the pain now that your wounds have healed? Have you forgotten what you said in front of the Tu Su Mansion last night?"

Tu Suxuan sneered.

Behind him, Xin Lin’s gaze swept over coolly. She glanced a few times at Liu Chengtian’s hands.

Liu Chengtian immediately felt his scalp tingle.

Now, whenever he saw Xin Lin, he was like a mouse seeing a cat—he didn’t dare act up at all.

"No need to stoop to their level. Miss Bai wants to go take a look at a medicinal shop. Let’s not delay her."

Zhu Zhiyao knew this wasn’t the time to quarrel. His father had been acting strange since this morning; he’d gone into the palace to look for his aunt and hadn’t come back yet. As for how Prince Yuan was doing, they’d have to wait until Zhu Qianjun returned to talk about it.

"Brother Zhu is right. Let’s go check out the medicinal shop."

Bai You found Xin Lin annoying the moment she saw her. Tugging at Sikong Ran beside her, the group finally walked away.
