118: Ninth Prince

Seeing this scene, Qin Jiang felt somewhat speechless. Are the brains of the heroines of destiny all this useless?

That's not right either.

Wan'er wasn't this foolish.

A weak woman blocking someone's doorway, although she's asking for an explanation, in this world where strength is respected, isn't this just giving herself away?

Besides, what's the use of just asking for an explanation? It can't bring your father back to life.

The correct choice is to lie low, quietly develop, and when you become strong, directly avenge your father. Even if you don't have much talent, you can at least ambush the old, weak, women, and children, right?

Anyway, killing one isn't a loss, and killing two is a gain.

It's just a pity that the heroine of destiny's actions are truly baffling.

"Did you hear? Get lost quickly!

Otherwise, don't blame us brothers for taking action."

The two burly men spoke unkindly.

The girl shook her head resolutely, her voice slightly choked with a hint of determination:

"I want an explanation for my father!"

"Damn it, what explanation do you want? He almost hit the old madam, killing him is already letting him off easy!

Do you know who the old madam is?

That's the Ninth Prince's grandmother. The most favored prince currently is the Ninth Prince. Perhaps he will be appointed as the Crown Prince in the future, as the heir to the Empire!

Heh, you're just a nobody, and you still want an explanation?"

The burly man sneered, his voice full of mockery.

The girl bit her red lip lightly, feeling a little despair in her heart. She hadn't expected the master of the mansion to have such a noble identity.

Both she and her father were just ordinary people. Their hometown was raided by bandits, so they fled to the Imperial City. To survive, her father found a job in this mansion.

Although it was very tiring, the pay was also very high.

However, not long after, her father's body was thrown back. For her, it was simply like the end of the world.

Especially when she saw the injuries all over her father's body, she almost fainted from crying.

Unwilling to accept this, she dragged her father's body to the entrance of the mansion, wanting an explanation, but was immediately driven away. So she found a corner.

She only hoped that the lord of the mansion would come forward, and at least give her father an explanation.

But now, hearing the identity of the mansion's master, she felt despair.

How could such an existence care about her?

She slumped to the ground, tears falling in drops.

The two burly men were also getting impatient and were about to drive her away, when...

"Stop!"

A shout came, and a young man wearing a brocade python robe walked over with a frown. He looked at the girl, his eyes lighting up slightly.

Immediately, he looked at the two burly men:

"What's going on?"

"Ninth Prince."

The two burly men quickly bowed.

This young man was precisely the Ninth Prince!

Hearing their address, a flicker of panic flashed in the girl's eyes.

The Ninth Prince!

Isn't he the grandson of the mansion's master, and also the most favored prince of the current Divine Dragon Emperor.

The two burly men were just about to explain what happened, when...

Qin Jiang, who was not far away, walked over:

"Let me tell you."

He first walked to the girl's side and helped her up. Her delicate and weak appearance was truly lovable. In his harem, it seemed there wasn't this type yet.

There was one who pretended to be weak.

But this one was genuinely weak, the naive and sweet type. If it weren't for Qin Jiang, she might have fallen in love with her enemy instead.

"What are you...?"

"Silence!"

Before the two burly men's reprimand could finish, the Ninth Prince directly interrupted.

Immediately, he looked at Qin Jiang with a smile:

"So it's Third Brother-in-law."

"You know me?"

"Father Emperor has already distributed your portrait to all the princes and important court officials, specifically explaining your identity and saying that seeing you is like seeing Father Emperor."

The Ninth Prince's posture was very humble.

Qin Jiang looked at him and said with interest:

"So, shouldn't you kowtow to me?"

"Uh..."

The Ninth Prince's expression stiffened, then he gave an awkward smile:

"Third Brother-in-law is joking."

Hearing this, Qin Jiang pursed his lips. This Son of Destiny isn't flexible enough.

He actually wouldn't even kneel.

He lowered his head slightly. The girl seemed a little afraid of the Ninth Prince and was leaning very close to him, her delicate body still trembling slightly.

Qin Jiang supported her, gently patting her back with one hand, and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid."

"Thank you."

The girl came back to her senses. Feeling the intense masculine aura, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

She moved away slightly and said thank you.

Seeing this scene, a hint of gloom appeared in the Ninth Prince's eyes.

This was a Genius-type Son of Destiny. From childhood to adulthood, he had always been surrounded by admirers, and he had never failed to obtain anything he wanted.

But today...

"You tell him exactly what happened."

Qin Jiang looked at the girl and said.

The girl nodded. Qin Jiang stood beside her, giving her some courage. She looked up at the Ninth Prince and explained the cause of her father's death.

After listening, the Ninth Prince's expression darkened slightly.

It actually involved his grandmother. If it were just this girl, it wouldn't matter, but with Qin Jiang here...

"What do you want?"

The Ninth Prince asked.

The girl glanced at Qin Jiang, gathered her courage, and said:

"I want an explanation!"

"An explanation?"

The Ninth Prince was startled.

What's the use of wanting an explanation? Can you eat it?

However, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I'll have Grandmother apologize to you and your father."

"Heh."

Qin Jiang sneered.

The Ninth Prince frowned and took a deep breath:

"Does Third Brother-in-law have any instructions?"

Qin Jiang shook his head and said to the girl:

"Let's first let your father rest in peace."

Perhaps because Qin Jiang gave her support and made her feel a sense of security, she hesitated for a moment regarding Qin Jiang's suggestion, then nodded and agreed.

Qin Jiang waved his hand, and guards appeared, carrying the body from the ground.

He smiled and looked at the Ninth Prince:

"Tell your grandmother to wait. Also...

Get rid of these two guys. Remember to handle it cleanly; I don't like leaving roots."

After speaking, Qin Jiang left with the girl.

The Ninth Prince's expression completely darkened. The burly men beside him were already trembling.

"Ninth Prince, spare... spare our lives!"

The two men immediately knelt down.

The Ninth Prince was already annoyed, and seeing these two guys made him feel even worse:

"Someone, get rid of them. Remember to handle it cleanly, root them out completely."

...

On the other side.

Qin Jiang helped the girl bury her father. The girl knelt before the grave, properly kowtowing three times. Her beautiful eyes were red, and with tears streaming down her face like pear blossoms in the rain, she possessed a delicate beauty.

After kneeling for a while, she stood up, walked to Qin Jiang's side, and bowed deeply:

"Thank you."

Qin Jiang's eyelid twitched. From his angle, he could just see the undulating waves.

Helping the girl up, Qin Jiang asked:

"You just wanted an explanation?

Haven't you thought about revenge?"
