Chapter 67 Jiangcheng 25 Anle's Incident

The next day, Wen Li called Shen Yingsi and the others to the hall, intending to tell them her conjecture.

Wen Li said, "We probably need to leave here quickly."

Wen Mingzhu was the first to retort: ​​"Wen Li, you're just standing by and watching us die! If we leave, who knows how many more people will die! How can we, as demon hunters, give up so easily!"

Xie Xiao also said, "Yes, Wen Li and we promised Miss Anle that we must find that demon."

Wen Li interrupted them: "That demon killed two people, probably just to keep us here. He must have some kind of conspiracy or trap waiting for us."

Zhao Sicheng: "But having such a powerful demon here is a threat to the lives of the people. Even if he wants to harm us, we should see if he has the ability to do so."

"That's right, with Fourth Brother around, we're not afraid of any demons. Right, Fourth Brother?"

As soon as Xie Xiao finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Yingsi.

Shen Yingsi looked up at the expectant eyes of the others and said, "I'll listen to Ali. We'll leave as soon as possible. The rest of you can do as you please."

His words caught everyone off guard.

Wen Li wanted to say something more, but at that moment, a servant from the Zhao family led a burly man in.

Wen Li recognized him; he was a servant from the Anle family, named Da Hu!

"Please, please save my young lady! Please save my young lady!"

As soon as Da Hu entered, he knelt down on the ground.

Wen Mingzhu helped the person up and asked, "What's wrong? Get up first."

"My lords, this morning I went up the mountain with my young lady to gather herbs, but who knew we would encounter a monster so suddenly! I ran fast, and my young lady told me to come here to beg for your help! I don't know how my young lady is now? Please, my lords, go and save my young lady!"

After searching for two days without finding any trace of the demon, everyone became restless upon hearing this.

Everyone stepped forward and surrounded the tiger.

Zhao Sicheng asked, "Where is it? Take us there quickly."

"At Mount Nijin, gentlemen, please follow me."

After saying this in a hurry, Da Hu stood up, grabbed Shen Ying Si beside him, and started to run outside.

Wen Li gripped Shen Yingsi's arm tightly, her eyes fixed on Da Hu, and slowly pried Da Hu's hand open with her other hand.

"It's just a minor demon; Zhao Sicheng and I can handle it. We don't need so many people."

Da Hu met Wen Li's gaze and withdrew his hand in fear.

"Wait at the door for a bit, we'll be there in a minute."

Da Hu glanced at the others: "We don't know how powerful that demon is. If you two are no match for him, it will be too late to find someone! Please, sirs, save my young lady!"

Seeing that Da Hu didn't take her words to heart at all, Wen Li kicked him and said, "Get lost, stop talking so much nonsense."

Seeing Wen Li's fierce expression, Da Hu could only clutch his backside and walk away.

"Shen Yingsi, you stay here and no matter how late we come back, don't leave easily."

Shen Yingsi looked down at Wen Li holding his hand and nodded with a smile.

Shen Yingsi agreed, but Wen Mingzhu couldn't help but ask, "Why? We can only win if Fourth Brother is there!"

“Wen Mingzhu, if you don’t speak up, no one will know you’re an idiot! I’ve already said that the demon has likely set a trap for us to fall into! His target is clearly Shen Yingsi.”

Wen Mingzhu retorted, "So what? Fourth Brother is so powerful, in the end it will be that demon who dies!"

Xie Xiao agreed with this. He had followed his fourth brother for so many years, and no matter how dangerous the situation was, His Highness always managed to escape unscathed.

But Xie Xiao looked at Shen Yingsi and saw that he was staring at Wen Li without moving, so he knew that Shen Yingsi would definitely listen to her.

So Xie Xiao offered, "Then you all go quickly, I'll stay here to protect Your Highness."

Wen Mingzhu glanced at Shen Yingsi and made up her mind: "If Fourth Brother isn't going, then I won't go either."

"Who cares about you?"

Wen Li turned and left. As Zhao Sicheng followed her, he said to Wen Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, I'll be back in a bit, don't worry about me. By the way, don't let my second uncle know, so he won't worry."

Watching Wen Li's departing figure, Shen Yingsi said, "Xie Xiao, go find Aunt Song and tell her that Wen Li and Zhao Sicheng went to catch a demon."

Xie Xiao asked doubtfully, "But will Aunt Song go? She's not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business."

"She will go, just tell her."

After hearing this, Xie Xiao walked towards Aunt Song's courtyard. Then, remembering something, he turned back to Shen Yingsi and reminded him, "Your Highness, you can't abandon me to go find Wen Li. Wen Li told me to protect you."

Shen Yingsi ignored him and left on his own. Xie Xiao saw that Shen Yingsi was heading back in the direction of his own courtyard, and his heart relaxed.

Wen Mingzhu, having finally managed to find time alone with Shen Yingsi, naturally couldn't let it slip away easily.

"Fourth brother, wait for me."

Watching Wen Mingzhu chase after Shen Yingsi's retreating figure, Xie Xiao shook his head helplessly. But it was good, with her following his fourth brother, he probably wouldn't run away.

"Fourth brother, what gift do you want for your birthday this year? This year is different from previous years, because you're coming of age this year, so the gift should definitely be more special than before."

Wen Mingzhu followed behind Shen Yingsi, talking to herself. She always had this ability: no matter whether he paid attention to her or not, she could still happily talk for a long time.

Wen Mingzhu was a pampered young lady who grew up spoiled, but she could always hide her spoiled temper with Shen Yingsi.

"By the way, how about I give you the river lanterns I made for the Lantern Festival? I made so many, you can choose your favorite one."

Wen Mingzhu was talking to herself when Shen Yingsi, who was in front of her, suddenly stopped.

"Wen Mingzhu".

Upon hearing Shen Yingsi's response, Wen Mingzhu was visibly taken aback, then ran to him in delight.

"Fourth brother, I'm here."

Wen Mingzhu tried hard to control her smile, hoping it would sound sweeter.

Shen Yingsi looked down at her, his voice devoid of any emotion: "You like me?"

Shen Yingsi asked so bluntly that Wen Mingzhu was a little shy, but she nodded nervously and forcefully.

"I like your fourth brother, I've liked you since I was little!"

Shen Yingsi ignored her and looked around. In this large Zhao mansion, only the small garden in the backyard was relatively deserted.

It was very quiet around, so quiet that you could hear the intense heartbeat of a young girl.

"Two years ago, do you remember when my mother proposed to arrange a marriage for us?"

Wen Mingzhu said shyly, "I remember."

“I rejected you that day. You said we grew up together, but I’ve been busy with all sorts of things since I was little, and we’ve only seen each other a few times a year. But I’ve never accepted your advances.”

Wen Mingzhu was somewhat flustered: "I, I..."

After searching for a long time, Wen Mingzhu finally found her voice: "But there is no woman in this world who is worthy of you, but I am. Her Majesty the Empress and my mother have both said that we are destined for each other. Fourth Brother, no one in this world likes you more than me."

Shen Yingsi, these three characters are a name that Wen Mingzhu has had etched in her heart since she could remember.

From the first moment she saw him, she had a vague feeling that she was living her whole life for this person.

So no matter how many times he rejected her, she would not give up.

"Fourth brother, I like you."
