I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

When Qin Li brought Snake Elder back to the inn in the small town at the foot of the mountain...

The entire Longhu Mountain was already ablaze, with flames shooting into the sky and reddening half of the night sky.

Even in the small town, you can feel the sweltering heat.

Outside the inn, Qin Li met an unexpected person.

Qin Li squinted and asked, "What are you doing here? Why didn't you go inside and wait?"

The visitor was extremely respectful, bowing and clasping his hands in greeting, saying, "This humble one dares not."

Qin Li was completely taken aback when he heard the term "scoundrel".

Su Chen, the proud heir of a marquis's mansion, would actually call himself a villain; it's like the sun has risen in the west.

"Speak, what is it?"

Qin Li asked.

Su Chen didn't even dare to go into the inn, but instead waited outside, so he must have something to ask of me.

Before Su Chen could speak, Elder Snake greeted Qin Li and entered the inn.

After the old snake went inside, Su Chen said, "I beg Your Highness to have mercy and spare my wife's life."

Upon hearing this, Qin Li frowned deeply. Su Chen was so young, where did he get a wife?

Hasn't he always liked Wei Hongying?

However, Qin Li quickly figured it out.

Qin Li laughed and said, "What, are you so afraid that I'll kill Zhang Jianjia?"

Without a doubt, the wife Su Chen mentioned was Zhang Long's daughter, Zhang Jianjia.

During the day, the two are still senior and junior classmates.

That evening, in Su Chen's mouth, the two became husband and wife.

It was Su Chen who did this on purpose, so that Wang Bao's army would not kill Zhang Jianjia.

Su Chen said, "Yes, after I escaped from the border, I thought I would be alone forever, but who knew I would meet my senior sister at the Dragon Tiger Gate."

"My senior sister treats me differently from others. I know her feelings for me, but I've hesitated to accept her advances until today!"

"In this life, Su Chen will never let his senior sister down, or may he be struck by lightning..."

Qin Li had no interest in listening to any of this and interrupted directly, "What, do you expect me to throw you a grand, extravagant wedding?"

"Su Chen, do you know who she is? You should also know that I like to eliminate problems completely and leave no future troubles."

"I killed her father and her second uncle, and I also wiped out the entire Longhu family. She will definitely seek revenge on me in the future, so..."

Su Chen quickly said, "I can assure Your Highness that she will not seek revenge."

"What guarantee do you have?" Qin Li asked.

Su Chen said with unwavering determination, "With this life of mine."

Qin Li couldn't help but mock, "Your life is worthless; it was given to you by me."

"Yes, I understand," Su Chen said. "But Fang Yuan has not yet been captured. I am willing to continue to atone for my crimes and capture Fang Yuan for Your Highness."

"Compared to Fang Yuan, who poses a future threat, what is a villain's wife?"

This is true. Compared to Zhang Jianjia, Fang Yuan poses a far greater threat to Qin Li.

"Your Highness, please grant my request!"

After saying that, Su Chen knelt down.

Qin Li, with his hands behind his back, said, "I can agree, but you must first tell me who let you go at the border."

Su Chen hesitated and refused to reveal the name.

If you tell that person, they'll definitely suffer.

"What, in your heart, Qin Feng is more important than your wife?" Qin Li said.

Su Chen was startled and looked up at Qin Li in disbelief: "Your Highness knows?"

Qin Li sneered repeatedly: "Of course I know. If it weren't for my instructions, even with Qin Feng's help, you wouldn't have been able to escape."

"Answer me, which of the two is more important?"

Su Chen looked pained, unsure how to answer.

But he knew that if he didn't answer, Qin Li would definitely kill Zhang Jianjia.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen said, "If I had to betray someone, I would choose to betray Qin Feng."

Qin Li said with a smile, "I didn't realize that the heir of our Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion is such a vulgar man, forgetting his brothers once he has a woman."

Although Su Chen disagreed with this explanation, he still nodded.

"Alright."

After a while, Qin Feng waved his hand at Su Chen and said, "Consider it an act of mercy from me, and do as you say."

Su Chen immediately became happy and repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness."

After saying that, Su Chen stood up and left, turning back every few steps.

From now on, he will have only one mission: to help Qin Li capture the escaped Fang Yuan.

Even if his strength is inferior to Fang Yuan's, he could very well be killed instead.

But he had to do it to save his wife's life.

After watching Su Chen leave, Qin Li entered the inn.

As soon as they entered the inn, Xia Liu greeted Qin Li with a smile, took his arm, and asked, "Your Highness, would you like to take a bath?"

Qin Li instantly understood Xia Liu's meaning: Bai Zhenzhen had already finished bathing, and once he bathed, the two of them could...

"No rush."

Qin Li asked, "I need to speak with Pei Qingluan. Where is she?"

Xia Liu pointed to a room on the second floor: "Miss Pei has been staying in her room since she came down the mountain and hasn't come out."

Nodding, Qin Li went straight up to the second floor and pushed open the door to Pei Qingluan's room.

Pei Qingluan sat by the window, watching the flames soaring into the sky above Longhu Mountain.

Upon seeing Qin Li arrive, she didn't even get up: "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Qin Li smiled and said, "You are my Crown Princess, where else could I go if not here?"

Pei Qingluan pouted and scoffed, saying, "Your old flame is right next door, what kind of Crown Princess am I?"

Qin Li, being very outgoing, sat down opposite Pei Qingluan.

Seeing two cups of tea on the table, Qin Li frowned and asked, "Were you entertaining guests just now?"

"What kind of guests?"

Pei Qingluan said, "I don't have any guests. Can't I just pour myself two cups of tea and entertain myself?"

Qin Li nodded, stopped asking questions, and watched the firelight on Longhu Mountain with her.

After a while, Qin Li said, "Before you go down the mountain, your father asked me to bring you something."

"Take it away, I don't want it."

Pei Qingluan said.

"You haven't even seen what it is yet."

"I don't want anything, no matter what it is."

Qin Li took out a token from his pocket, pushed it in front of Pei Qingluan, and said, "I heard that this token is the symbol of the Sword Sect. With this token, one can command the Sword Sect. Your father entrusted me to bring it to you."

Pei Qingluan snorted coldly: "Is he trying to back down to me?"

"Your father said he was sorry for what happened back then."

"Then why didn't he come and tell me himself?"

Pei Qingluan roared.

Qin Li remained silent, only taking a sip of his tea before standing up and saying, "I have delivered the token. Other matters are none of my concern. Farewell!"

After saying that, Qin Li left without the slightest hesitation.

Bai Zhenzhen had already finished bathing and was waiting for him; he had no intention of wasting time on Pei Qingluan.

"My beauty, I've arrived..."
