Feng Yunshu quickly recognized the person sitting in the carriage. Her heart skipped a beat.
It was actually him, the Crown Prince Dongfang Qi?
Why was he here? So were all these black - clothed men sent by him?
Why did the Crown Prince send these black - clothed men to assassinate Helan Yanting? Feng Yunshu had no idea what had happened. Although confused, she knew what she should do next.
"Xiaoling, see if there are any demons or evil spirits around here?"
Feng Yunshu used her mental power to transmit the voice to Xiaoling. Xiaoling's pupils glowed red, and then she scanned everything around the sedan chair.
"Master, you're really right! See that big tree next to the sedan chair?"
Feng Yunshu looked in the direction of the big tree as Xiaoling said. "What's wrong? Is there something strange about that big tree?"
"Well, there's a cat spirit hiding under that big tree. But this cat spirit seems quite young. It should have just transformed into a cat spirit not long ago."
Feng Yunshu nodded, her eyes lighting up. She clapped her hands. "Great! I've got a plan! It seems Master is really watching over me!"
"Come on, Xiaoling. Fly under that big tree. I'm going to ask this little cat spirit to do me a little favor."
Xiaoling was puzzled and just felt a chill down her back.
Whenever Master wanted to deal with someone, that person would probably...
Soon, Xiaoling carried Feng Yunshu to the big tree. The cat spirit could see them, so it was startled and immediately scurried into a dimly - lit area and curled up.
"Master, this little cat spirit seems really timid. Are you sure it can help us?"
"Don't worry. As long as your master wants to do something, there's no way your master can't come up with a solution."
After saying that, Feng Yunshu jumped off Xiaoling's back, took out the demon - detecting mirror from her backpack, and walked towards the little cat spirit.
"Little kitty, can you do sister a little favor?"
"Meow..." The little cat spirit looked at the approaching person, shrank in the corner, and backed away a bit fearfully. It looked at Feng Yunshu longingly but didn't dare to come forward.
"Sister is not a bad person. As long as you help sister with this, when sister has spiritual power, she can help you cultivate into a human form earlier. Do you want to become a human?"
"Meow..." The little cat spirit looked a bit hesitant but still didn't come forward.
"If you don't come forward, sister will shine this mirror on you..." As she said, Feng Yunshu waved the mirror in her hand.
Feng Yunshu was very serious, coaxing and cajoling the little cat spirit, completely ignoring Xiaoling's voice behind her.
"Master, stop calling! I don't have enough spiritual power... Master! You're going to be exposed!"
Due to the long - time invisibility and flying, Xiaoling's limited spiritual power was almost used up, and their figures gradually became clear. They were no longer invisible.
Xiaoling wasn't worried about herself. The people in the palace and those who were hunting her had only seen her half - human, half - beast form, not her complete spirit - fox form.
But Feng Yunshu didn't have any other disguises. Once she showed up, she would be caught red - handed by people like the Crown Prince Dongfang Qi.
Xiaoling called out several times and found that Feng Yunshu was immersed in the fun of "teasing the cat" and didn't hear her at all.
Xiaoling got anxious for a moment. She stretched out her paw and patted Feng Yunshu's instep to try to remind her.
However, this time, by the time Feng Yunshu noticed something was wrong on her instep, it was already too late.
"Xiaoling, what are you doing? Your master was about to succeed..." As she said, Feng Yunshu looked at the little cat spirit in the corner again. Just as she was about to say "Right, little cat spirit", she turned around and found that the little cat spirit that was just in the corner had disappeared.
"Little cat spirit?"
Now, Feng Yunshu was really dumbfounded. "Xiaoling, look at you. If you hadn't interrupted me, the little cat spirit would have nodded and agreed to help. Now, it's gone..."
Feng Yunshu turned around a bit complainingly, about to scold Xiaoling, but saw a group of people behind her that had appeared out of nowhere.
The leading man stared at her expressionlessly, his eyes full of killing intent, which caught Feng Yunshu off - guard.
Hey, wasn't I invisible?
Feng Yunshu suddenly looked down at herself subconsciously and found that her figure had completely appeared!
At this moment, the inner wall in Feng Yunshu's heart collapsed with a loud crash!
"Xiaoling, this is—" She was eager to know what had just happened when the leading man in front suddenly spoke.
"Princess Helan, why are you here?"
Feng Yunshu looked at this man blankly, sure that she had never seen him before. She was even more confused. How did he know who she was?
"Who are you?" Since this man looked so fierce, Feng Yunshu became vigilant. She silently hugged Xiaoling in her arms and used her wide sleeves to cover most of Xiaoling's figure.
"Who I am is not important. But since Princess Helan has thrown herself into the net, don't blame us for being rude!"
After saying that, the black - clothed man drew out his long sword and pressed it against Feng Yunshu's neck. "Princess Helan, come with us."
The feeling of suddenly having a cold long sword on her neck... Feng Yunshu had really never experienced it in all her years.
But this experience was not pleasant at all.
"Big brother, um... Are you mistaken? I'm not the Princess Helan. You've recognized the wrong person! And this little girl has neither stolen nor robbed. How can you threaten a good - natured girl like this in broad daylight?"
Now that Xiaoling had no spiritual power and there were so many strong men in front of her, Feng Yunshu didn't dare to act rashly. She immediately put on a wronged look and planned to flatly deny it.
At the same time, her mind was also working rapidly to find a way to escape.
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, Feng Yunshu noticed that the sedan chair that was still parked not far away had disappeared at some point.
Did Dongfang Qi notice her when she showed her figure, so he sent people to arrest her to silence her?
"Princess Helan? If you don't move, we'll have to take direct action."
The leading black - clothed man's tone was cold, looking as if he was about to attack Feng Yunshu the next second.
Feng Yunshu had an idea. She pretended to be panicked, widened her eyes, and stared directly into the eyes of the black - clothed man opposite. "Big brother, this little girl is really innocent... You've really recognized the wrong person... Really!"
As she said, Feng Yunshu tried her best to gather her mental power to attempt to perform hypnosis. It was a desperate attempt!
However, just then, an arrow whizzed over and knocked the long sword out of the man's hand.
"How dare you, audacious villains! How dare you be rude to the Princess!"
Several nimble black - clothed men flew in out of nowhere, rushed forward, and quickly fought with the people in front of Feng Yunshu. The cold light of swords and knives danced constantly.
Feng Yunshu didn't have time to think about who had saved her. Taking advantage of this gap, she hugged Xiaoling tightly and quickly turned around and ran towards the Helan Prince's Mansion.
She must have not checked the calendar before going out today. She was extremely unlucky! She had intended to save someone, but instead, she almost got herself into trouble. Feng Yunshu ran desperately, on the verge of tears.
Unexpectedly, with a "bang", her head hit a "wall of flesh", and her head buzzed with pain.
