Chapter 4310: 5.0062 Departure

"How could this be?" Qing Xuexue's breathing instantly became erratic.

It was truly chaotic. When the Corpse Puppets attacked, though they were frightened, their hearts hadn't been in disarray.

But now, even Allure Island's largest Tushan family had rebelled. What chances of victory did they have against Heaven's Will?

"That Young Master Songfeng by your side is precisely Gong Songfeng, the Hall Master of the Heaven's Will's Earth-Burrowing Hall." Qiao Mu delivered another shocking piece of news to Qing Xuexue, leaving her stunned and unable to recover.

Young Master Songfeng? Qing Xuexue couldn't help but feel a pang of disbelief.

Was it that refined young master, as elegant as bamboo, who seemed naturally without temper?

He truly didn't have much of a presence. All day, when following her, he rarely spoke. When Qing Xuexue was engrossed in her fun, she would completely forget about him.

Just like when they went out to the street earlier, she was strolling around with Little Grass, and the man would follow casually beside her, often being left behind after a while.

If Qiao Mu hadn't specifically brought it up, she wouldn't have even remembered him.

Actually...

No one knew that Qing Xuexue suffered from a form of androphobia (fear of men). As the first in line to the throne of the Allure Queendom, she would panic and be terrified when faced with male beauty. Such a matter, of course, couldn't be widely known.

Her Majesty the Queen seemed to have heard rumors of this but simply regarded it as Qing Xuexue's childish nature, not yet fully matured.

Anyway, when the time came, once the Princess inherited the throne, she would certainly have to expand the kingdom's lineage.

Qiao Mu didn't pay attention to Qing Xuexue's astonishment and continued to speak calmly, "This Hall Master Gong had already led people to infiltrate your Allure Island and had dealings with your Tushan family."

"After coercion and enticement, your Tushan family's sudden rebellion, with inside and outside cooperation, is hard to guess, is it?"

"The conditions offered by Heaven's Will must be very tempting," Mo Lian said, nodding.

Qing Xuexue tightly clenched her fists, her eyes reddened as she said in a low voice, "What good is it, no matter how tempting the conditions? When things settle, and they lose their usefulness, their lives or deaths will be unknown!"

"That's true," Mu Xingchen couldn't help but sigh. "The followers of Heaven's Will can betray and bite others at any time."

After all, they needed a continuous supply of fresh people to expand their Corpse Puppet army. How could they possibly create a peaceful and prosperous era for anyone?

Qiao Mu looked at Qing Xuexue. "What are your plans now?"

"Your Majesty!"

"Her Majesty has arrived!"

"Your Majesty!" The female attendants excitedly cried out.

Qing Ye came to her daughter's side, embracing her tightly. "Child, you go with Qiao Qiao and the others."

"Mother."

"Minister He, take the children through the secret passage," Her Majesty the Queen turned to the calm, serene middle-aged woman.

He Luan calmly responded, nodding. "Your Majesty, please take care."

"Mother, aren't you coming with us?" Qing Xuexue looked at Her Majesty the Queen with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"My child, you have grown up. You must learn to be responsible," the Queen said, patting her shoulder with a faint smile. "As Queen, Mother has a mission to bear."

"Even if Allure Island is about to fall, Mother must live and die with her people."

Qing Xuexue cried out in anxious surprise, but Officer Zhao beside her acted very swiftly, knocking the Princess unconscious with a slap.
