Could it be that I am the cruel villain?
Chapter 412 - 259: The Capricious Little Princess

Chapter 412: Chapter 259: The Capricious Little Princess

Speaking of it, even Jiang Feng couldn’t help but crack.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, and he shook his head helplessly because these words were spoken by his senior sister in the tone of an old person, obviously not her own bad idea.

It’s very likely King Liang’s lousy idea.

King Liang and his master were old acquaintances, and Liu Tangxi, as the newly succeeded Sword Immortal, was in no way inferior to the Old Sword Immortal. Now that she has opened a school and taken on disciples, with her family’s little daughter also intending to join the sect, they would naturally try every means to send someone in.

In the eyes of others, this marriage is nothing bad, even in the eyes of Liang Yu’s relatives, they haven’t felt anything improper, and they all unanimously think it is Liang Yu who is marrying above her status, and it is her good fortune to do so.

Although the Liang family is of the Imperial Family, they are but the rulers of a small country, marrying a daughter to a disciple of a Sword Immortal could not only win over the Purple Cloud Palace but also learn from them, consolidating the country’s territory. If they could become in-laws, they could rest easy from then on.

But everyone overlooked one point.

That is, what exactly does the little Princess of Country Liang think in her heart?

Is she willing to marry a stranger she has never met? And whether she is willing to join Swordmaster Peak in such a manner? What is she really pursuing, an unfounded title or a genuine opportunity to study and learn as an apprentice?

"Before, I had no idea why you suddenly disappeared, kidnapped by someone."

With an expression somewhat filled with longing, Jiang Feng spoke with an unusually gentle tone, because he understood that this little princess was a victim, and if it were him, he would probably also run away from home.

He stopped not far behind.

"Although I’m not familiar with Imperial courts, to hold a seat in this land of Central Plains, occupying thousands of miles of territory around, one really can’t say my strength is inferior by any stretch."

"In Dongliang City, a mere border city, there are two individuals at the Core Formation Stage, several at the Peak of Foundation Establishment to sit in control, this one state alone has at least seven counties, plus the State City, I’m afraid there are at least three individuals at the Nascent Soul Stage and more than fifteen Core Formation experts."

"With such strength in my homeland, which was just a corner of nowhere, it’s essentially an overwhelming force, starting a sect would be effortless, not to mention the Capital is even more teeming with masters. My senior sister once said, the former emperor of Country Liang and my master were old friends, and when they were young they even traveled together to slay demons and eliminate devils."

"Their strength is clear, and conservatively speaking, it probably starts from the Refining Void realm, and within the Imperial City, there is also the protective great array. Nowadays, unlike more than a decade ago when they would venture out and leave their interior empty, my senior sister mentioned that Old King Liang stayed at home, peacefully taking care of his grandchild."

"In such a scenario, I really can’t think of anyone who could sneak into the Imperial City, and abduct the Princess right under their noses unless it was her own determined decision to leave."

"Princess, am I right in saying this?"

Thinking of this, everyone should know why Liang Yu chose to leave in anger, and after hearing the news about Jiang Feng, even traveled thousands of miles from the Imperial City.

Her fleeting figure appeared right in front of Jiang Feng in just a few breaths’ time.

With her hands naturally hanging down, she was dressed in a pale pink luxurious costume, draped in a white veil, showcasing her graceful neck and clearly discernible collarbones.

Her black hair like carved ebony was simply done up in a Flying Immortal bun, with several round and plump pearls casually dotted among her hair, endowing her with a dignified softness and elegance, with a butterfly hairpin inserted, and a strand of black hair hanging over her chest, even Jiang Feng couldn’t help but sigh.

"Movement graceful, person even more so."

"Young Master Jiang overpraises."

Their gazes met.

With clear eyes free of distractions, Jiang Feng wasn’t the lecherous... ah, a man with desire but no courage. Through those eyes, Liang Yu saw surprise, amazement, admiration, and a bit of kindness.

He had compliments, sighs, but absolutely no lewd thoughts.

Facing something beautiful, perhaps everyone reacts this way. Even if Cen Yueyue were here, Jiang Feng would still offer praise; appreciation for aesthetics needs no hiding. Appreciation is just appreciation; it doesn’t mean that upon seeing a beauty, one must add her to their harem.

He was just amazed by the temperament of this little princess.

"The portrait did indeed have spirit, it looks like the work of a master."

"On the way here, I was wondering why it evolved into this situation, a princess of a nation bizarrely disappearing without a trace, it’s like something from a wild tale. I had my suspicions but dared not verify them."

"Until I saw this painting, to be honest, I think it’s wrong to judge by appearance, but looking at the Princess, I know from one glance that you are not a greenhouse flower. Hidden beneath your gentle demeanor and nobility are pride and sharpness..."

"Just like a well-concealed sharp blade."

"In person, you are a hundred times more beautiful than the painting, no wonder my senior sister asked me to come to Country Liang to find you, Princess."

The man just smiled and did not stand up.

If that Miss Ying Ling who had a scuffle with Jiang Feng last night saw this scene, she’d probably be infuriated to death.

Last night, when arguing, this youngster didn’t say a single nice thing, and now he’s suddenly normal enough to be frightening. If you had complimented me a bit and spoken a few nice words yesterday, would we have ended up biting at each other’s necks for half an hour?

"Young Master Jiang overpraises. I truly didn’t expect our first meeting to be under such circumstances, and I hadn’t anticipated that although it was our first encounter, my little thoughts would be seen through by you in an instant; it’s really..."

She smiled slightly.

It must be said that the Imperial Family truly stands apart, especially in terms of coaching on posture and poise, an expression that’s most perfectly controlled. She didn’t finish her sentence, but Jiang Feng could guess what the Princess’s last words would have been.

It was very likely "even more understanding of me than my father and mother."

At times like this, many would say "Ah, your parents are doing it for your own good, you need to communicate properly with your family" and such nonsense. Jiang Feng considered it equivalent to adding fuel to the fire.
