Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan stood together, the two of them were a perfect match, the man was handsome and the woman was pretty.
Jiang Xuecheng was especially attentive. As the breeze blew and messed up Su Wan's hair, he still had the leisure to gently tuck the messed hair behind Su Wan's ears.
And this scene of openly displaying affection seems so creepy in the current situation!
It was clearly a tense moment, and it was still uncertain who would win. Could these two people be so relaxed
The guests around were originally very nervous, but after seeing the situation of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, they felt a little relieved.
…
For some reason, Fiennes looked at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan's calm and composed appearance, and suddenly thought of the same situation that day at the racecourse.
Clearly, life and death were hanging by a thread, but Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng seemed to care nothing about anything, with only each other in their eyes.
Fiennes's blue eyes narrowed, he clenched his hands suddenly, veins popped out on the back of his hands!
"Su Wan, I don't know why you openly brought a fake person to slander me!"
Even though most of the people were pointing guns at him, one third of them were still his subordinates!
It is not impossible to fight to the death and get a chance of survival!
Even at this disadvantageous moment, Fiennes kept his back straight and showed no sign of retreating.
He looked around at the noble guests present, his deep blue eyes shrouded in dark clouds.
"There are so many people here today, distinguished guests, are you going to believe the one-sided words of a little girl and a fake?"
Many guests looked at each other in bewilderment. Seeing that Fiennes was using them as guns and forcing them to take sides, they suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Who to choose
Because the prince did not come from any wealthy family, but appeared out of nowhere, the nobles have always had complaints about Jiang Xuecheng.
As for Master Fiennes...
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you stand on the wrong side today, the fate of the entire family may be affected!
Everyone's breathing held slightly, no one wanted to be the first to announce their answer!
I'd rather keep it a little vague and not choose anyone for now!
Seeing those people pushing and shoving, Fiennes' expression became even more stern. He looked directly at Ye Hanwen, the head of the Defei family, who was standing not far away.
"Uncle Ye, you are the most respected elder among the four major families. No one present dares to say that they are older than you. Are you willing to join me in taking down that impostor?"
As the head of the DeFei family, Ye Hanwen was originally on the same side as Fiennes, and the two families had already signed an alliance treaty!
But when he saw Jiang Xuecheng appear so gracefully, Ye Hanwen suddenly realized that they might have underestimated this young man from the very beginning.
Especially after seeing so many guards turning against us!
I'm afraid there are quite a few spies in his family
Ye Hanwen was sweating profusely. He didn't want to be used as a gun so soon!
Fiennes' thin lips were pursed into a straight line, his features were cold and his deep blue eyes were as gloomy as water!
"Uncle Ye, why don't you speak?"
Ye Hanwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally said something reluctantly.
"Master Fiennes, I think there is something fishy about what happened today, but I haven't figured out whether it was the Emperor's son or not, so we'd better not jump to conclusions..."
Before Ye Hanwen finished speaking, he heard Fiennes sneer.
—At this point, Ye Hanwen wants to act like a good guy? !
Ye Hanwen was fully involved in those things back then!
"Do you think that, at this point today, they will let you go because of what you said?"
Who are they referring to? No one knows better than Fiennes and Ye Hanwen!
Ye Hanwen glanced at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng in confusion. The assassins he had trained privately were nearby. Was it too late for him to mobilize them now
Ye Hanwen gritted his teeth, recalled what he had done in the past, and finally pressed the communicator in his hand!
One third of the people present are Fiennes's confidants. If they can hold on for five minutes, his people will arrive!
However, just when Ye Hanwen pressed the communicator, he suddenly discovered something was wrong!
The signal was actually blocked!
Obviously it was useful before!
Why now…
Ye Hanwen was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He was so worried that he even stuttered when speaking!
"No signal! What should I do?"
When Fiennes heard this, his heart sank to the bottom!
Jiang Xuecheng actually cut off his retreat!
Except for the days when he was young and helpless, he had never been as stiff-backed and confused as he was now!
Fiennes stared at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan. His originally azure eyes were now red and bloodshot!
…
Su Wan had long understood Jiang Xuecheng's personality of not taking action unless he wanted to be perfect, so when she heard Ye Hanwen say there was no signal, she immediately burst out laughing.
There were clearly people present with guns pointed at her and Jiang Xuecheng, but ever since Su Wan stood next to Jiang Xuecheng, she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
Wherever Jiang Xuecheng is, even if it is filled with smoke, it is still her home.
Su Wan's eyebrows were curved, and her clear, dark almond-shaped eyes were curved like a crescent moon, so charming.
"Hey, tell me the truth, it was you who did this, wasn't it?"
Su Wan said, and couldn't help but poked Jiang Xuecheng's arm.
Jiang Xuecheng seemed not to care about the formality and stroked Su Wan's hair in a very good mood.
"What do you think?"
Although there was no direct answer, the answer was obvious from the tone of the question.
…
Seeing that Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were still in the mood to joke, veins popped out on Fiennes' forehead.
Facing Fiennes's sinister gaze, Jiang Xuecheng looked back indifferently.
"Give up the defeat, Fiennes."
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his narrow and long phoenix eyes, but the smile on his thin lips faded.
"So what if I don't admit it?!"
A strong anger came over him, and Fiennes smiled contemptuously.
He never admits defeat, nor does he accept his fate, never!
After all, both sides were carrying guns and were eyeing each other covetously, but everyone was afraid of the other and did not dare to act rashly.
Just as they were in a stalemate, everyone suddenly heard a sarcastic female voice and the sound of rumbling wheels!
"Fiennes, do you think you can still win at this point?"
This is?!
Hearing that familiar female voice, all the nobles present shuddered!
Wasn’t it said that the high priest had gone out traveling a long time ago? I haven’t seen her for more than half a month, and now she shows up
Everyone turned around at the same time, expecting to see the gorgeous woman standing proudly, but what appeared before their eyes was a woman sitting in a wheelchair.
However, he was undoubtedly the high priest!
No one would mistake her!
