C739 Eldest princess invited
Watching Grand Princess leave, Bai Lan relaxed a lot. At this step, she had actually made a bet that the Grand Princess was not the mastermind behind the assassination attempt. And now, Bai Lan had made the right choice. Grand Princess could be considered as an ally for a short period of time.
After settling this matter, Bai Lan's topic shifted to Chen Xiao's strength. Even if he was dreaming, Bai Lan felt that it was impossible for her Three-Star Martial Saint to kill an Eight Star Martial God. Hence, she immediately guessed that Chen Xiao was deliberately hiding his strength.
With regards to this problem, Chen Xiao immediately explained it all using the terms of his secret technique.
Not long after, Chen Xiao carried Xiao Miao to the outside of the palace. Hai Lanxin, on the other hand, stayed behind because she had other things to instruct.
"Daddy, the fragrance of that sister just now was the same as the scent of that assassin." Walking out of the chamber, Xiao Miao, who was on her shoulder, suddenly said to Chen Xiao.
These words surprised Chen Xiao, he did not expect Xiao Miao to suddenly say this. Initially, Xiao Miao had only thought that he had made a mistake, but now it seemed that it was not the case. It was true that Xiao Miao had smelled an aroma that they couldn't, but this fragrance was the same as the scent on Grand Princess's body.
Xiao Miao naturally would not lie to Chen Xiao about anything. But if there was the same smell as Grand Princess right now, would the assassin be arranged by him?
Chen Xiao felt that this guess was not impossible. Given the power of the Grand Princess in the Haihuang Sect, it would not be difficult for them to arrange assassins to approach the hall without anyone noticing. As for why she wanted to assassinate Bai Lan, maybe she really did want to start controlling Haihuang Sect.
But carefully thinking about it, Chen Xiao felt that it was different. When Grand Princess came over, her expression was completely the same as when she had just found out that the Ocean Emperor was not in the sect. Could it be that the Grand Princess had undergone a perfect disguise?
"Xiao Miao, are you sure that the Grand Princess's scent is the same as that assassin's?" Chen Xiao asked again.
Xiao Miao nodded vigorously, "Yes, Miaow. However, the smell on her body is a bit fainter than the assassin's. If you don't smell it carefully, Xiao Miao wouldn't even notice it. "
Less than an assassin? Chen Xiao frowned slightly. If that was the case, then the Grand Princess might really not be the mastermind behind all of this. The correct situation was that she should have come into contact with the mastermind behind the scenes, which was why they had the same taste. As for why it was lighter, it was just that she had not interacted with him too often.
But even though the Grand Princess ruled out the possibility of it being the mastermind, she still had the chance to participate. Furthermore, Chen Xiao was sure of one thing, that the person behind the assassin was definitely a high ranking official in the Haihuang Sect.
Could it be one of the other three princes?
Chen Xiao suddenly thought of this.
Waiting for Hai Lanxin to come out, she accompanied him onto the carriage, but did not return to the border city with him. In order to stabilize the situation in Haihuang Sect, she would have to busy herself once again.
The carriage quickly left the imperial city and arrived before the transmission array. However, just as the driver was about to enter the transfer array, a guard stopped the carriage.
"Young master of the carriage, I am Grand Princess's guard, Grand Princess wants to invite you over, please follow me." After the guard stopped the carriage, he spoke in a normal tone.
Invitation from the Grand Princess?
Chen Xiao didn't mind the guard's tone of voice. Instead, he felt a little puzzled. Was it because he was also sitting beside Bai Lan earlier?
He didn't understand the reason why Grand Princess was looking for him, but Chen Xiao didn't plan to refuse the Grand Princess's invitation. It might not be a bad thing to come into contact with her.
"Lead the way." Chen Xiao replied. The maid said to the coachman and immediately turned around to lead the carriage away. However, the Grand Princess was actually waiting for Chen Xiao at the side of the teleportation circle. This was obviously for Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was even more curious as to why the Grand Princess was looking for him.
The guard pointed to Grand Princess's carriage, then indicated that Chen Xiao should go over there by himself. Chen Xiao did not care about this, carried Xiao Miao and walked towards the carriage. However, when he walked to the side of the carriage, two guards immediately stopped him.
"Stop!" Grand Princess said to only let you go in, the little girl can't. " The guard said expressionlessly.
These words made Chen Xiao let out a 'haw' sound immediately. He came here because of Grand Princess's invitation, and Chen Xiao did not believe that these two guards would not know of it. And the reason they were doing this, was obviously to target Chen Xiao. As for why they dared to do this, even if it wasn't deliberately set up by the Grand Princess, she had tacitly agreed to it.
At that moment, Chen Xiao didn't even say a word as he turned around and left.
To put on airs to him? Hehe, do you really think that the identity of the Sea Clan Princess is so noble?
"Hey!" "Stop right there!" Seeing that Chen Xiao had actually turned around to leave, the two guards rushed forward and stopped Chen Xiao once more, "Grand Princess wants to see you, what is the meaning of this?"
The guards' expressions were not good, as though as long as Chen Xiao said that, they would immediately attack Chen Xiao.
However, Chen Xiao did not plan to wait for them to make a move. As soon as the guard finished speaking, he stepped forward and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the guard. Following that, with an extremely fast punch, the two guards were sent flying!
"That's what it means." Looking at the guard at the end, Chen Xiao said expressionlessly, and then turned his head to look at the carriage, and said loudly, "Grand Princess's invitation is truly special. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come over. "
After he finished speaking, Chen Xiao turned around and once again headed towards his carriage, not even sparing the surrounding guards a glance.
"Young master, please wait. I didn't do this well, I hope Young Master will forgive me. But I did indeed have something to ask of you, Young Master. " Finally, Grand Princess's voice came out from the carriage.
"Hmph." Chen Xiao let out a cold snort. Grand Princess's move could be said to be extremely displeasing to the eye, "Since you have something to say, then shouldn't you come out and tell me? "What are you planning to say by staying in the carriage?"
If he provoked Chen Xiao, he would not be polite.
"How dare you!" How dare you go against Grand Princess! " Hearing Chen Xiao's words, the surrounding guards immediately pulled out their weapons and shouted! But before they could do anything, the Grand Princess's voice sounded once again.
"Stop!" At the same time these words were said, Grand Princess walked out of the carriage.
Seeing Grand Princess appear, the guard naturally stopped in his tracks. But Grand Princess's gaze fell on Chen Xiao. This was the first time she had met someone who dared to reject her invitation in such a manner. Moreover, it was only a Three-Star Martial Saint.
