Chapter 193: Unexpected (3)

One of Bei Chenying's greatest hobbies was bickering with the Crown Prince. Since the Crown Prince had taken the initiative to provoke him, wouldn't it be a loss of Face if he didn't retaliate?

A casual smile played on the corners of Bei Chenying's lips, and his watery eyes glinted with sarcasm. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is certainly not long-winded, but you do things without saying them. You've done every wicked deed imaginable; you'd better be careful that your future son ends up lacking certain… things."

"You're courting death!" The Crown Prince didn't speak, but the guard beside him drew his longsword and thrust it toward Bei Chenying.

However, before the guard could even get close to Bei Chenying, a Black-Robed Person flashed out from behind him, their fingers clamping onto the guard's throat like iron tongs.

In just an instant, the guard's body went limp and collapsed to the ground, eyes tightly shut, body stiff, never to wake up again.

The Black-Robed Person retreated silently back behind Bei Chenying, so faint that they seemed to have no presence at all.

Killing without a trace, killing as if it were nothing… killing like cutting hemp, unbridled and unscrupulous, wild and unrestrained!

Bei Chenying still smiled as innocently and kindly as before, his expression so serene and self-possessed, as if the person on the ground was merely sleeping, not having lost their life.

The Crown Prince's Face flushed red with anger, but he had enough self-awareness to know that everyone behind him combined wouldn't be enough to kill the Black-Robed Person.

Moreover, Bei Chenying's methods were ruthless; he really would kill all of his subordinates without the slightest hesitation.

Su Zian hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over, speaking at length to help the Crown Prince step down from his pedestal and regain a little bit of Face.

Su Luo's gaze fell upon Bei Chenying. She felt a sliver of interest in this Red-Robed Youth who was sometimes a sunny boy and other times possessed by Satan. She was very curious about what shocking thing he would do next that would leave everyone dumbfounded.

"Lord Bei Chen, since you are here to search, can we begin now?" Su Zian said in a cold voice.

Having his Face repeatedly trampled, even if Su Zian wanted to curry favor with Bei Chenying, he inevitably felt terrible inside.

A smile appeared on Bei Chenying's fair, jade-like handsome Face, a smile that held a hint of mystery. He waved his wide sleeves and said casually, "This is the General's residence. When to start the search is naturally up to General Su to decide; how can you come and ask this official?"

Su Zian was almost so angry that he fell over backward.

What kind of person is this! From the moment he entered the Su Residence until now, has he ever acted like a guest? Now, he's actually acting like the host!

Although Su Zian was annoyed in his heart, a smile appeared on his Face. "In that case, let's begin." He wanted to send this star of misfortune away as soon as possible so that the Su Residence could return to peace.

At Su Zian's command, a group of soldiers charged toward the dilapidated courtyard in a mighty force.

A faint, almost imperceptible cold smile appeared at the corners of Madame Su's lips.

She had suffered quite a bit of anger today, but if she could eliminate Su Luo in one fell swoop, what did a little bit of anger matter?

There were a full thirty soldiers who went inside, turning Su Luo's room upside down, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and even digging up the corners of the walls, but—

Soon, the soldiers all came out. The leader, Captain Zhao, clearly did not look well. He walked a few steps to Su Zian, but his peripheral vision met Madame Su's, and he shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Madame Su's expression turned extremely ugly in an instant!

Su Zian did not know about the exchange of glances between Captain Zhao and Madame Su. With a dignified demeanor, he said in a cold voice, "Did you find anything?"

Although Captain Zhao really didn't want to say it, he still shook his head. "Reporting to the General, there are no gold coins in the room."

"Then are there any other valuable treasures?" Madame Su interjected.
