Chapter 1167: This Woman Was Trouble

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With that, Wanyan Jin prepared to leave, but he suddenly slowed his footsteps as a thought crossed his mind. He turned and looked sharply at Beitang Rui. “If I were you, Prince Rui, I would search the mansion again for this woman because she is not an ordinary person. Hiding such a woman in your place would only spell trouble and you will find yourself in a catastrophic situation. That’s all I have to say for now. There is no need to see me off. Goodbye!”

Beitang Rui watched as Wanyan Jin left the mansion. He frowned and returned to his seat.

What did Wanyan Jin mean?

Did he stop by today just to say this?

Wanyan Jin was not someone who would do anything so pointless.

Every word he said had a hidden meaning.

He was obviously hinting that there was more to the woman than meets the eye, and if she continued to stay here, it might be the end of the Prince’s mansion.

These words made Beitang Rui feel slightly uncomfortable.

They were talking about one lone woman. What could she do to cause such serious effects?

Unless that woman had a strong backing.

She was brought here by Long Chi from Great Shang, which must mean that this woman was a significant figure there.

Who exactly was she and what was her identity in Great Shang?

Moreover, from what he saw of Wanyan Jin, it seemed he was determined to have her as well.

She was nothing more than a beautiful woman. Why would Long Chi and Wanyan Jin go to such lengths?

One of them had been so anxious that he was going everywhere trying to find her while the other came to his door to threaten him.

How powerful was this woman?

He suddenly slammed the table in a rage.

Long Chi must be hiding something from him.

If she was just an ordinary beautiful woman, all these people would not care about her so much.

Long Chi was invited to the study the moment he returned to the mansion.

Beitang Rui was waiting for him in his seat and when he saw the slightly disappointed look on Long Chi’s face, he knew that the woman remained missing.

Beitang Rui no longer felt surprised by this.

She must not be someone that could be easily handled if he understood Wanyan Jin’s words.

“Is there anything you need me for?” Long Chi asked.

Beitang Rui nodded. “I do.”

“What is it?” Long Chi did not sound interested.

“Wanyan Jin came to the mansion today,” Beitang Rui said abruptly.

Long Chi was intrigued. “Wanyan Jin?” He knew this person but never had the opportunity to meet him in person.

“Yes.” Beitang Rui nodded. From Long Chi’s reaction, Beitang Rui guessed he must not have met Wanyan Jin before and so he went straight to the point. “He was here for the woman.”

Long Chi was taken aback. “For her?”

“That’s right. He told me that she was an old acquaintance of his,” said Beitang Rui. He proceeded to tell Long Chi everything Wanyan Jin had said to him in the front hall.

Long Chi was silent after hearing it.

Did Wanyan Jin know Lu Liangwei?

He recalled the war between Great Shang and Danjue last year when Danjue was forced into submission after they were defeated.

Wanyan Jin had even made a trip to Great Shang afterward for that reason.

It was probably during that time that he met Lu Liangwei.

“Tell me honestly, Long Chi, who exactly is that woman? Why would Wanyan Jin say something like that?” Beitang Rui asked.

A long moment passed before Long Chi gave a bitter smile and replied, “Wanyan Jin must be interested in her because of this.” He took a small ball from his pocket and showed it to Beitang Rui.

The ball was black and was approximately the size of a quail’s egg.

“What’s this?” Beitang Rui asked curiously.

Long Chi did not answer the question but said, “Follow me and you’ll find out, Prince Rui.”

Beitang Rui’s mind was filled with questions. He had no idea what Long Chi was trying to do, but he nevertheless followed Long Chi out of the study.
