The Princess of Ning...
Was she kind?
Bartel, who was watching the commotion over at Chu Qing's from afar, asked himself this question.
He was no saint either, but when he saw Chu Qing's methods, the young man couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
Back then... he had actually dared to abduct the Princess of Ning from the Great Yan to Brandor!
Thankfully, he hadn't mistreated her!
Otherwise... his end would have been anything but good!
Meanwhile, Darin, who was also nearby, silently sighed in his heart. He thought it would have been great if he had met the Princess of Ning earlier.
Not only was she extremely beautiful, but she also seemed elegant, gentle, and virtuous on a daily basis. When it came to being ruthless, she didn't show any mercy either.
She would have been the perfect person to accompany him in dominating the grasslands!
However, when he caught a glimpse of Wei Ying, who doted on her, Darin silently dismissed this thought.
He couldn't afford to provoke them.
...
At this moment, Xu Xin felt as if she was constantly shuttling between hell and the mortal world.
Just when she thought she was going to die, Chu Qing would give her a chance to live.
When she "stubbornly" looked at Chu Qing, Chu Qing would push her back into hell.
Now, forget about taking revenge. As long as Chu Qing would give her a quick death, she would die content!
But obviously, Chu Qing was making her suffer worse than death!
"I'm so tired!" Chu Qing pouted and shook the wrist that had been holding the ladle.
Seeing this, Wei Ying immediately took the ladle from her hand and gently massaged her wrist.
"Or should we ask Wei Yi and the others to take over for you?" Wei Ying asked as calmly as if he was asking what they were going to have for dinner tonight.
Xu Xin, who still had some consciousness, gave a violent tremor of her eyelids.
Were these two lovebirds being a bit too much!
She was wrong.
She was really wrong.
From the very beginning, she shouldn't have married into the Prince of Ning's Mansion.
If she hadn't married into the Prince of Ning's Mansion, she wouldn't have had the thought of harming Chu Qing.
She was wrong, really wrong.
But it was too late to regret...
Xu Xin was dragged away, barely conscious. At this moment, she didn't care about her self - esteem, which she had always valued the most.
After seeing Xu Xin being dragged away and locked up, the suffocating aura that Chu Qing had just exuded instantly disappeared.
Seeing that she had returned to normal, Wei Ying squeezed her soft hand and said, "Shall we go and see Bartel and the others?"
Reminded by Wei Ying, Chu Qing just remembered that Bartel and the others should have accompanied Gerile to discuss the matter of the tribal chief.
She wondered if everything had gone smoothly.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing nodded and then followed Wei Ying towards Bartel and the others.
At this moment, Bartel and the others seemed to be waiting for Chu Qing and the others.
"Prince of Ning, Princess of Ning," Gerile spoke first.
When Chu Qing looked over, she noticed that Gerile's expression was much more relaxed than before.
The death of Alana had, to some extent, affected Gerile. Now that she was no longer as silent as before, Chu Qing gradually felt relieved.
Moreover, after hearing Gerile briefly explain, Chu Qing found that the people of the Aqitu tribe had accepted Gerile much faster than she had expected.
Perhaps it was because Gerile had accumulated a lot of prestige on a daily basis, which was why there hadn't been many obstacles when she took over the position of the tribal chief.
However, there were still a few die - hards who had raised objections. In the end... they had all been dealt with by Gerile using force.
After all, on the grasslands, problems were always solved by force.
When they could use their fists, they never bothered to say an extra word.
...
In the following days, under Gerile's leadership, the Aqitu tribe quickly returned to normal life.
And the final duel between Bartel and Darin was about to begin.
This battle would determine the position of the lord of the grasslands for the next few decades.
Although Chu Qing was very curious, she still needed to stay away from the battlefield where swords and arrows were merciless.
Wei Ying had been invited by Bartel to be a referee, so Chu Qing had to stay alone in the tent.
As for Lvluo...
Because Chu Qing had encountered one accident after another recently, Lvluo had been persistently pestering Wei Yi to teach her martial arts for the past few days.
Unfortunately, Wei Yi had inherited Wei Ying's personality. He was always aloof and cold towards people he didn't know well. As a result, even though Lvluo had begged him for several days, Wei Yi still hadn't agreed.
"Your Highness!"
Sure enough, Lvluo returned dejectedly.
Seeing her like this, Chu Qing smiled and asked, "What? He still didn't agree?"
Lvluo pouted and trotted up to Chu Qing. She gently tugged at her sleeve and said, "Your Highness, please threaten him, okay?"
Chu Qing laughed and said, "He won't listen to me."
"Dear Your Highness! Look! If I learn martial arts, I can protect you!" Lvluo still refused to give up.
Seeing that Lvluo was really determined, Chu Qing收起 her smile and said seriously, "But Lvluo, you have to know that it's really too late for you to start learning martial arts now."
Lvluo wasn't like her, with the little meatball to improve her physical condition.
And she couldn't reveal her own secret.
After hearing Chu Qing's words, Lvluo lowered her eyes, and her voice was a bit low. "This... I know. But I don't want to become a burden to you if something happens in the future. I don't expect to be as good as Wei Zhi. As long as I can protect myself and not hold you back at critical moments..."
Hearing Lvluo finally say the real reason why she wanted to learn martial arts, Chu Qing sighed softly.
"Alright, I'll go and talk to Wei Yi myself. If he still refuses to teach you..."
"As long as Your Highness steps in! Wei Yi will definitely agree!" Lvluo immediately beamed with joy.
Chu Qing shook her head helplessly and pulled her out of the tent.
However, just as they took a step out, they saw Wei Ying and his group coming back.
Bartel was following behind Wei Ying, full of energy, while Darin looked dejected.
It seemed that the result was already out!
A smile appeared on Chu Qing's face as she walked towards them.
"Should I congratulate you?" Chu Qing said to Bartel.
Bartel grinned. He glanced at Wei Ying and then at Darin. After seeing that there was no particular reaction on their faces, he replied with a big smile, "Yes, Princess! I won! From now on, the Brandor tribe no longer has to live in fear!"
Darin snorted and muttered under his breath, "I never thought that the Prince of Ning would be your master!"
The fact that Bartel had become Wei Ying's disciple hadn't been spread.
Naturally, Darin didn't know about it.
If he had known...
Alas, Darin sighed silently in his heart.
In the end, it was all because his skills were inferior.
The grasslands needed a truly capable person to lead them.
Wei Ying, surprisingly, comforted Darin a few words, and Darin gradually returned to normal.
After chatting for a while, Chu Qing took Lvluo and continued to look for Wei Yi.
At this moment, Wei Yi and Wei Zhi were in the Black Cloud Army, sparring as usual.
Although Wei Yi and Wei Zhi had similar names, their personalities were a bit different.
Perhaps because Wei Yi had always been a secret guard and walked in the shadows, his personality was more cold and taciturn.
As for Wei Yi... he mostly stayed in the Pohuang or the military camp, so he was a bit more talkative than Wei Yi.
However, it was only "a bit" at most...
When Chu Qing and Lvluo arrived, the two were in the middle of a fierce "fight".
In the past, she definitely wouldn't have been able to tell what was going on.
But now, if she observed carefully, she could tell that Wei Yi had the upper hand.
The appearance of Chu Qing and Lvluo naturally caught their attention. Wei Yi was momentarily distracted, and the sword in his hand was knocked out by Wei Zhi, flying straight towards them.
Seeing the sword coming towards them, Lvluo didn't dare to push Chu Qing away. She could only grit her teeth and rush in front of Chu Qing to protect her.
At this moment, Lvluo closed her eyes in fear.
I don't know how long it had passed, but the expected pain didn't come. Lvluo carefully opened her eyes.
Then...
She met Wei Yi's dark eyes.
