"It's like this. Someone is looking for you," Lord Gou said.
"Who is looking for me?"
"It's not convenient for me to say for now," Lord Gou said.
"What's not convenient?" Linlong's expression turned cold.
Seeing Linlong's reaction, cold sweat broke out on Lord Gou's forehead. He said bitterly, "Young Master Tang, it's not that I don't want to say it, but that person's identity is special. I don't dare to say it."
"His identity is special. At most, he's a prince," Linlong said indifferently.
'Just a prince?' Lord Gou's face couldn't help but twitch at Linlong's words.
"This … I really don't dare to say it. If he finds out that I said it, I won't be able to keep my official robe," Lord Gou said bitterly.
"Since that's the case, I'll go meet him," Linlong said after thinking for a while.
If the other party wanted to deal with him or had something on him, he would have come to him directly. There was no need for him to go through Lord Gou, so he guessed that the other party didn't have any ill intentions.
Or perhaps he didn't.
"That person is in my residence. Please follow me, Young Master Tang." With that said, Lord Gou walked out.
As for Linlong, he followed behind him.
After walking out of the palace, he soon arrived at Lord Gou's residence.
After entering the hall, he saw a familiar face. It was the young lady whose name he didn't know.
Once Linlong arrived, Lord Gou said, "Young Master Tang, you two have a good chat. I'll be leaving first."
With that said, he hurriedly left as if someone was holding a knife to his neck.
"How did you find your way here?" Linlong couldn't help but ask as he looked at the young lady.
"Why? Can't I find my way here?" The young lady snorted.
"Why did you look for me like this?" Linlong asked again.
"Naturally, it's to take revenge!" The young lady said.
"I don't think I've offended you." Linlong was a little speechless. "At most, I'll just snatch one of your beasts. At most, I'll return it to you the next time I enter.
"You still dare to say that you didn't offend me? Who was the one who left me behind and almost caused me to die in that Mystic Realm?" After saying that, the young lady looked angry.
"Speaking of which, you're not anyone to me. Why should I help you deal with those beasts?" Lin Long spread out his hands and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"Don't you dare!" Hearing Linlong's words, the young lady immediately raised her voice.
Could it be that he already knows that my identity is fake? Linlong frowned as this thought flashed through his mind.
Thinking that this woman must have a high status, he immediately said, "Then what exactly do you want?"
"Hmm …" The young girl tilted her head and thought for a moment before she said, "Let's do it this way for now. Come with me first, and we'll talk about it after I figure out how to deal with you."
Linlong thought of something and shook his head. "To be honest, I'm already the vice-captain of the Sixth Prince's personal guards. If I were to leave with you, I'll definitely be punished by the Sixth Prince. So, I can't go with you."
"Sixth … Sixth Prince, then I'll go and tell him to throw you to me." The young girl said with a relaxed expression.
Could it be … Hearing the young girl say it so casually, Linlong couldn't help but think of something.
"Just you wait." With that said, the young girl shouted towards the door, "Someone come in."
Immediately, a maid who was obviously the young girl's subordinate hurried in. "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Immediately go and look for the Sixth Prince. Tell him … Tell him that I want Tang Li. I don't want him to be his vice-captain for now." The young girl ordered.
"Yes," the maid hurriedly replied.
With that said, she hurried outside. It seemed like she was really going to look for the Sixth Prince.
Not long after, the maid ran back. Once she entered, the young girl asked, "How did it go?"
"Miss, the Sixth Prince said that he can give you the person, but you have to be merciful and not make things difficult for Young Master Tang," the maid said.
"Don't worry. Why would I make things difficult for him?" The young girl smiled.
Then, she looked at Linlong and said, "It's fine. Let's go."
"Miss, may I know how to address you?" Linlong didn't leave and asked.
"Just call me Miss An Ruo," the young girl said.
Then, she led Linlong outside. After walking out of Lord Gou's mansion, they walked towards the palace.
When they saw the young girl, the guards at the south gate didn't ask anything and directly let her bring Linlong and the others in.
After entering the palace, the young girl led him to the left side.
Then, they met a few palace maids. When they saw the young girl, they all greeted her respectfully. "Greetings, Seventh Princess."
"Wait …" Even though the young girl shouted those words, it couldn't stop them from saying what they had already said.
Seeing that the young girl was obviously unhappy, the palace maids couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear on their faces. They didn't know what they had done wrong.
"Alright, you guys can leave." The young girl waved her hand gloomily.
The palace maids were the ones who felt as though they had been pardoned.
"I didn't expect you to be the Seventh Princess," Linlong said in surprise.
He had originally guessed that the other party's identity was different and should be a princess or something. He didn't expect his guess to be right.
"This isn't fun. I wanted to scare you, but who would have thought that I would be exposed so early?" The young girl said gloomily.
The few of them quickly arrived at the Anruo Palace where the Seventh Princess resided.
Before they entered, an old eunuch walked out from inside.
The eunuch was about to say something, but when he saw Linlong behind the Seventh Princess, he couldn't help but become extremely vigilant. "Seventh Princess, who is this?"
Linlong could feel the powerful aura of the old eunuch. He was definitely a level five warrior.
"Eunuch Sun, don't worry. This is my new personal guard," the Seventh Princess said.
"Personal guard?" Hearing the Seventh Princess's words, Eunuch Sun couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"That's right." The Seventh Princess nodded.
"Seventh Princess, aren't you being too reckless? How could you just casually accept a guard like this?" Eunuch Sun said as he sized up Linlong, as though he was afraid that Linlong would suddenly take out a weapon to deal with the Seventh Princess.
"Eunuch Sun, don't worry. My guard, Tang Li, used to be the vice-captain of the Sixth Prince's personal guard," the Seventh Princess said.
"The vice-captain of the Sixth Prince's personal guard?" Eunuch Sun asked doubtfully.
He had never heard of such a person in the Sixth Prince's personal guard.
"Eunuch Sun, it's true. Young Master Tang used to be the vice-captain of the Sixth Prince's personal guard," the servant girl from before hurriedly said.
Hearing the servant girl say this, Eunuch Sun finally relaxed a little.
"But, Seventh Princess, this isn't right. This person is a man. How can he be your personal guard?" Thinking of something, Eunuch Sun hurriedly shouted.
"I say, Eunuch Sun, why do you care so much? Do you believe that I won't report you to my mother?" Hearing Eunuch Sun's words, the Seventh Princess couldn't help but say coldly.
"Then … alright." Hearing the Seventh Princess say this, Eunuch Sun could only helplessly compromise.
"Alright, Eunuch Sun, you can leave first. I want to teach Tang Li how to be a personal guard," the Seventh Princess said.
Although Eunuch Sun didn't want to, he had no choice but to leave.
"Alright, from now on, Tang Li, you are no longer the vice-captain of the Sixth Prince's personal guard. You will be the Seventh Princess's personal guard," the Seventh Princess said to Linlong.
Linlong didn't say anything to express his speechlessness.
"What? Do you have an opinion?" Seeing Linlong's reaction, the Seventh Princess frowned.
"Of course not," Linlong replied.
The Seventh Princess nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly said, "Tang Li, if you were the assassin who tried to assassinate me and you were caught by me, what do you think you should do?"
Linlong's mind was in a mess.
The Seventh Princess didn't continue asking him. Instead, she turned to look at the servant girl and said, "Little Chrysanthemum, what do you think?"
"Since … since Young Master Tang is the assassin, then he should be tied up and kneeling on the ground," Little Chrysanthemum said.
"Hmm, then Tang Li, you know what to do, right?" The Seventh Princess immediately smiled as she said to Linlong.
These two must be working together to trick me. Linlong was speechless.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that," Linlong said speechlessly.
"That won't do!" The Seventh Princess snorted coldly.
Seeing that Linlong still didn't give in, she said again, "If you don't do as I say, I'll call Eunuch Sun in."
Thinking of that fifth-level warrior Eunuch Sun, Linlong's face couldn't help but twitch. He believed that if the Seventh Princess called Eunuch Sun in, Eunuch Sun would definitely do as she said.
"Alright, I can tie him up, but I definitely won't let him kneel!" Linlong said sternly.
The Seventh Princess didn't expect Linlong to say that. After a moment of shock, she said, "I didn't expect you to have such backbone. I'll let you off this once."
With that, she looked at Little Chrysanthemum and said, "Little Chrysanthemum, tie him up for me."
"Yes!" Little Chrysanthemum replied and walked to Linlong's side.
Just as Little Chrysanthemum was about to tie him up, the Seventh Princess said again, "Take off his shirt!"
This …
Little Chrysanthemum's face was blank. She couldn't understand when her princess had such a hobby.
Linlong's face twitched again. However, when he thought of Eunuch Sun outside, he gave up.
"Little Chrysanthemum, hurry up!"
Under the Seventh Princess's urging, Little Chrysanthemum could only take off Linlong's shirt.
At that moment, the Seventh Princess was finally satisfied. "Alright, Little Chrysanthemum, you can tie him up now."
Little Chrysanthemum could only do as she was told. Soon, both of Linlong's hands were tied up.
After that, the Seventh Princess began to walk around Linlong.
"That's more like a captive." She nodded as she looked around.
After walking one round, she stopped in front of Linlong. Then, she reached out to pinch Linlong.
No way. Seeing the Seventh Princess's action, Little Chrysanthemum quickly turned around in embarrassment.
'Princess, what are you doing? Young Master Tang's shirt was taken off by you.' She thought to herself.
What she didn't know was that at that moment, outside the door, someone was peeking in through the crack of the door. His eyes widened in shock.
'Heavens, what is the Seventh Princess doing?' This thought buzzed in his mind.
