Chapter 377: 204: Secret Meeting!_3

Suddenly, Turing Duo’s complexion turned pale.

Is this world so cruel? Even one’s own family could be so cold and heartless?

She had merely lost to Suo Lun, and her dignity was trampled like this?

Of course, it wasn’t just her, she had already heard that Zhi Ning’s fate was even more tragic. At least she still had her freedom, whereas Zhi Ning had been imprisoned in a room no more than ten square meters and couldn’t take a single step outside.

Then, she took heavy, icy steps towards her boudoir, just like a piece of merchandise, waiting for a strange man to pick her out.

...

The ball continued, but Gui Qinshu had something on her mind, yet she didn’t know what it was. Could it be that she had heard Turing Chen’s mention of the Annihilate Sauron Secret Meeting?

But if Suo Lun were dead, she should be overjoyed, because Suo Lun was the biggest enemy of her life.

In her dreams, she longed for Suo Lun to die a miserable death.

However, she soon cast everything to the back of her mind; if she couldn’t make sense of it, it was better not to think about it at all. Enjoying the moment was what mattered most.

Enjoy the joyous time at hand, enjoy the adoring, head-over-heels gaze from the nobleman before her.

The man she was dancing with now seemed vaguely to be a prince from the Flame Empire.

The Flame Empire and the Rage Wave Kingdom had sent envoys to each other, and the man with the gentle face before her was one of the envoys from the Flame Empire stationed in the Rage Wave Kingdom.

This man was completely bewitched by Gui Qinshu, unable to tell north from south, unable to utter half a sentence, his heart feeling as if it were about to leap out of his chest, and his eyes not even daring to look directly at her face.

Like Yan Nai’er, Gui Qinshu was so radiantly beautiful that it was hard for people to look directly at her.

"Does the noble envoy know my elder brother?" Gui Qinshu asked lightly, enjoying the other’s panicked and besotted state.

"I, I know..." stammered the envoy from the Flame Empire: "The name of Young Master Gui Qinbi is well-known throughout Yanjing. His literary and martial skills dazzle everyone."

Gui Qinbi, Gui Xingfu’s eldest son and the undisputed heir to the City Lord of Linhai City, was twenty-six years old this year. With his extraordinary talents, he was studying with many royal young masters at the Yanjing Divine Dragon Sanctuary. Additionally, he also served as the chief military officer at the Rage Wave Kingdom’s embassy to the Flame Empire.

Although he was merely a prince’s son, he was able to study alongside Zhi Ning and Zhi Yan at the Yanjing Holy Temple, which showcased his status and talent.

Therefore, even though he was rarely in Linhai City, neither Gui Qinqu nor Gui Qinzhong dared to harbor any ambitions for the Princely Heir’s position.

Just as Gui Qinshu was enjoying the head-over-heels gaze from the man before her.

Suddenly...

The entire ballroom fell silent.

First, everyone stopped dancing, and then the music mysteriously stopped as well.

Then, all eyes turned towards the entrance.

They saw an incomparably handsome man walking in leisurely.

Upon seeing this face, Gui Qinshu’s complexion instantly changed, and her heart clenched fiercely.

The newcomer was, of course, Suo Lun, the current enemy of the world, an outcast among all present, the youngest prince in the world.

Gui Qinshu felt her head go blank and was at a loss for a moment.

Suo Lun walked into the banquet hall, holding an invitation and said, "I have an invitation, in fact, two, I’m not some uninvited scoundrel."

No one responded to him, and there was silence.

Suo Lun smiled and said, "Why has everyone stopped? Please continue, the songs as charming, the dances as lively, just pretend I’m not here."

Then, the music continued to play.

All the people carried on dancing gracefully. It was just that wherever Suo Lun went, the nobles all stepped aside, as if he was plagued, fearing they would not be able to shake him off once touched.

This was forming cliques and exhibiting bias, this was choosing sides.

As an enemy of Zhi Li, these nobles dared not even exchange greetings with him in public.

Suo Lun approached Gui Qinshu and said to her dance partner, "May I have the honor of dancing with the bride-to-be for a song?"

Despite his reluctance, the noble from the Flame Empire was an honest man and very politely said, "Of course."

Suo Lun took Gui Qinshu’s hand directly, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and they began to dance gracefully together.

Gui Qinshu’s entire body was almost stiff, her stunning face devoid of blood.

Tonight was supposed to be the most beautiful and glorious time for her, and the last person she wanted to see was Suo Lun.

Because Suo Lun was her nightmare. What scared her the most was that Suo Lun would reveal some secrets and ruin her moment of glory.

"What are you doing here? You’re not welcome," said Gui Qinshu coldly.

"Yet your fiancé sent me two invitations, insisting I come. I really couldn’t decline," Suo Lun said. "But why aren’t you welcoming me?"

"I wish you were dead," Gui Qinshu said. "You’re as good as dead already. They’re holding a secret meeting right now, plotting how to kill you."

This woman was really interesting; the secrets she had learned just a quarter of an hour ago, she was now spitting out.

Gui Qinshu’s cheeks flushed instantly red, and she angrily exclaimed, "Shut up! You’re like a dog that’s lost its home right now. With just one command, I can have you thrown out."

"You seem quite pleased with yourself tonight, overshadowing Zhen Yan Princess," Suo Lun said. "Do you love Ling Ao?"

"Of course, I love him," Gui Qinshu said.

"No, you love the glory he brings you," Suo Lun said. "You love the feeling of being the center of attention, the feeling of being adored by a multitude. All this, you think Ling Ao has brought to you."

"So what if it is? Within the next few years, Ling Ao will become the foremost subject of the kingdom, while you won’t live to see the spring," Gui Qinshu said coldly. "I don’t care what you’re here for, please leave immediately."

"What are you afraid of?" Suo Lun asked. "Afraid that I’ll reveal our secret? Afraid that I’ll tell Ling Ao that he’s already been cuckolded by me?"

At his words, Gui Qinshu turned deathly pale. Suo Lun had indeed struck at her deepest fear.

Tonight was her most glorious moment, the happiest night.

However, if Suo Lun disclosed her loss of virginity, all of her glory would be destroyed, her engagement to Ling Ao would definitely be off, and she would become a laughingstock.

She could not even begin to imagine the consequences if such a thing were to happen.

"Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone," Suo Lun said. "They say even a brief marriage carries a hundred days of grace. How could I be so heartless to you?"

Gui Qinshu’s face flushed red again; she wished she could spit in Suo Lun’s face and whispered resentfully, "Shameless."

As Suo Lun continued to dance with her, he said, "My dear, I am here for just two things. First, to make you think carefully, are you sure you really love Ling Ao?"

"Shut up," Gui Qinshu said. "Of course, I love him."

Suo Lun said, "Secondly, I want to meet with you tomorrow afternoon at Hua Yu Pavilion, just the two of us, a secret and private rendezvous."

Gui Qinshu’s voice trembled, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course, it’s to continue where we left off. You must come. If you don’t, then I might not be able to keep some secrets any longer," Suo Lun said.

Gui Qinshu’s stunning face lost all its color!
