Chapter 287: Coming to the Door (5)

The muscles in Liu Potian's cheeks twitched. Would it kill His Highness the Prince of Jin to speak properly? Every sharp sentence was like a blade, piercing straight into one's heart.

"Your Highness! I advise you to quickly hand over the person and the crystal stone. Otherwise, if this is taken before Your Majesty, I fear it will not look good." Liu Potian sat down again, staring coldly at Nangong Liuyun, speaking with the arrogance of an elder.

This time, Nangong Liuyun ignored this seventh-rank powerhouse entirely. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, casting a faint gaze toward Liu Chengfeng: "Are you certain that the cyan crystal stone is yours?"

His Highness the Prince of Jin's eyes were as sharp as Ice Blades. He looked at Liu Chengfeng nonchalantly, yet Liu Chengfeng felt as if he were placed in an ice cellar. A chill surged rapidly from the soles of his feet, spreading to his limbs and bones, leaving his entire body so stiff he could barely move.

His Highness the Prince of Jin's eyes were too clear, too bright. With just one glance, the darkness in the deepest part of his heart was almost illuminated, as if all his secrets were laid bare before him.

Under the gaze of His Highness the Prince of Jin's indifferent eyes, Liu Chengfeng felt guilty and quietly turned his face away.

"Hmph!" Liu Potian gave a heavy grunt, his eyes seemingly containing flames as he shot a look at Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng suddenly snapped back to his senses!

That's right, Grandfather is now a seventh-rank powerhouse, much stronger than His Highness the Prince of Jin's sixth rank. He has absolutely no need to fear His Highness the Prince of Jin now, absolutely no need!

After mentally preparing himself, Liu Chengfeng suddenly looked up and stared firmly at Nangong Liuyun. His expression was serious, and he spoke word by word: "Yes, that cyan crystal stone is mine. It was cut from a raw stone I bought from Old Chen at the raw material market that day."

"Who can testify to that?" A clear voice came from behind the folding screen. Looking closely, it turned out to be a youth wearing a blue robe.

This youth had ordinary features, completely unremarkable, the type that would be lost in a crowd and never found again. However, that pair of eyes flashed with a unique brilliance, moist and lively, enough to make one forget the mundane.

Nangong Liuyun saw Su Luo in this disguise and silently turned his face away. He had previously guessed that Su Luo sending him away earlier was to prepare this disguise, but he hadn't expected to have guessed correctly.

However, Nangong Liuyun was not very happy with this result.

Why? Actually, it is simple to explain. Su Luo choosing to appear in this way indicated that she did not wish to reveal her true identity in front of others. And since she wanted to hide her true identity, Nangong Liuyun could not openly hold her hand and announce that Girl Luo was his person.

He knew this girl liked to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, and he also knew she had concerns, so he had always indulged and spoiled her, supporting her regardless of whatever choices she made.

In complete contrast to Nangong Liuyun's reaction, Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed to see Su Luo. He jumped out and shouted loudly: "Hey! You shameless thief, you actually have the guts to show yourself? Quickly hand over the cyan crystal stone!"

Su Luo glanced at Liu Chengfeng with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, her expression innocent and confused: "Why should I hand the cyan crystal stone to you? Do I owe you something?"

Although Liu Chengfeng kept telling everyone that the cyan crystal stone was something he had won gambling on stones, both he and Su Luo knew very well that the crystal stone was clearly won by Su Luo, and had absolutely nothing to do with him, Liu Chengfeng.

Therefore, under the gaze of Su Luo's clear, ink-like eyes, Liu Chengfeng's cheeks felt a bit hot, and he felt guilty inside.
