Drunken Swordsman: I choose the ruthless way, why are you crying?

Chapter 15: Qin Hao is a spy from the demon clan?
A corner of the imperial city.

The outline of the palace appears even more solemn and mysterious under the moonlight.

The lights in the princess's mansion were bright, but they couldn't hide the gloomy atmosphere.

Shi Luoyan sat in front of the exquisite carved window, the moonlight shining on her beautiful face, but it did not reflect the tenderness and tranquility of the past, but instead was replaced by deep thought.

She gently twisted a string of warm jade beads in her hand, and every time she turned one, she seemed to be weighing a decision in her heart.

"Tian Gang Realm...Are you sure that rubbish has really reached this realm?"

Shi Luoyan's voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty. Even Li Ying, a veteran of many battles, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at this moment.

The princess's strength...seems to have become stronger again.

Li Ying knelt on the ground and said firmly, "Your Highness, I fought Qin Hao for dozens of rounds. I could have killed him, but Qin Hao suddenly became stronger and used strange methods. I was not paying attention and he slipped away."

"It was my fault that I failed to keep Qin Hao here. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Li Ying bowed his head, revealing a hint of helplessness in his words.

I thought that killing Qin Hao this time was a foregone conclusion, but who knew that the other party would suddenly break through to become a strong man in the Tiangang realm, and his cultivation level was almost the same as mine.

Qin Hao's sudden burst of improvement undoubtedly broke his cognition.

Upon hearing this, Shi Luoyan frowned and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She once thought that Qin Hao was just a piece of trash who could be manipulated at will. However, everything she saw before her made her realize that she might have underestimated her former fiancé.

She couldn't believe it. How could a good-for-nothing like him suddenly transform into a genius in cultivation?

Could it be that Qin Hao has some opportunity?
"If this is true, if Qin Langtian learns of this, he will definitely recall Qin Hao back to the Zhan Palace. By then..."

Shi Luoyan's voice stopped abruptly, but the implication of her words was self-evident.

Her engagement with Qin Hao was originally a chess piece set up by her father in order to build a bond with the Zhan Palace and to balance the power of the Zhan Palace.

If Qin Hao is a waste and there is no successor to Prince Zhan's Mansion, he can still try to cancel the engagement.

But if Qin Hao really becomes successful in the future, then the engagement between her and Qin Hao will be a foregone conclusion.

"No! I can't let this happen!"

Shi Luoyan stood up suddenly, emitting an irresistible aura.

"Your Highness, what do you think... is it possible that Qin Hao has practiced the magic arts?" Li Ying frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and expressed his opinion.

When Shi Luoyan heard Li Ying's words, the teacup in her hand paused slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

"Why did Commander Li say that?"

Li Ying continued, "Princess, think about it. Qin Hao's bloodlust and cold-bloodedness are really frightening. Moreover, the secret technique he used is also extremely strange. Just a few days ago, he was just a good-for-nothing waste with no talent or strength to speak of."

"But in such a short period of time, he has transformed himself into a Tiangang-level expert. This rapid increase in strength is really too bizarre. Among the techniques I know, only the legendary demon techniques can achieve such an amazing effect."

"The magic skills of the demon clan are always sinister and vicious. Practitioners often change their temperaments and become cruel and bloodthirsty. Looking at Qin Hao's current performance, he is too similar to those who have been corrupted by the magic skills of the demon clan. Princess, if this is true, then Qin Hao will become a big problem!"

Shi Luoyan's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Yes, the demons have been evil beings that everyone wants to kill since ancient times. If the news that Qin Hao is a spy of the demon clan and practices the demon clan's skills gets out, I'm afraid there will be no place for him in this world!

As for whether Qin Hao is a real spy of the demon clan, who cares? When the demon clan appears, everyone will shout and kill them!
Thinking of this, Shi Luoyan couldn't help but sneer.

"Li Ying, spread the word immediately, saying that Qin Hao is practicing magic and is fond of killing his own people in exchange for improving his strength. Then make up some stories and spread them out to prove that he is a spy from the demon clan!"

Li Ying bowed and said, "I obey your orders."

Shi Luoyan looked at the bright moon outside the window, her expression becoming increasingly cold.

Qin Hao, Qin Hao, as long as it is proven that you are a spy from the demon clan, I will immediately ask my father to cancel the engagement!
You want me, Shi Luoyan, to marry you? That's impossible!

…………

At the same time, in Prince Zhan’s mansion.

The atmosphere was equally solemn.

Qin Qingyue sat in the study, playing with an exquisite jade hairpin in her hand. It was her most beloved item. Whenever she felt upset, she would take it out and look at it carefully.

"Uncle Fu, you said that Shi Luoyan actually sent a Tiangang Realm expert to deal with Qin Hao?"

Qin Qingyue was a little angry. Although she and Qin Hao did not have a deep relationship, they were of the same clan after all. Moreover, Shi Luoyan had already promised her, but now she sent a strong man from the Tiangang Realm to deal with Qin Hao, which was too disrespectful to her.

"What about Qin Hao? Is he still alive?"

Qin Qingyue had a complicated expression.

In her opinion, if the Tiangang Realm expert took action, Qin Hao would definitely die.

Uncle Fu lowered his head and answered respectfully: "Miss, it is said that Qin Hao did not die, but escaped from the hands of the Tiangang Realm expert."

"What did you say?"

The jade hairpin in Qin Qingyue's hand trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise and complexity flashed in her eyes.

Facing a strong man in the Tiangang Realm, Qin Hao was able to escape?

She felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, and the ridiculous image of Qin Hao singing and riding a horse all day long appeared in her mind.

That useless Qin Hao who was once ridiculed by everyone, could actually have such strength? Just because of him? The jealousy and resentment in Qin Qingyue's heart grew wildly like weeds.

"He's still alive?" Qin Qingyue murmured to herself, then shook her head, "How is it possible... Isn't he just a waste? How could he become so strong..."

At this moment, Uncle Fu seemed to remember something important and whispered in Qin Qingyue's ear in a low voice.

Qin Qingyue's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and the jade hairpin in her hand almost fell.

"What? There are rumors out there that Qin Hao is a spy from the demon clan?"

She repeated these words in disbelief, with mixed feelings.

Even though she and Qin Hao had no blood relationship, she knew very well that once such a rumor spread, it would be a disaster for Qin Hao.

It even implicated Prince Zhan's Mansion.

The princes of your Zhan Palace are all spies of the demon clan, colluding with the demon clan. Could it be that your Zhan Palace really didn't realize it at all?
Is it true that your Zhan Palace did not shelter any spies from the demon clan, or even colluded with the demon clan?
Thinking of this, Qin Qingyue suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, and the mastermind behind all this was undoubtedly Shi Luoyan.
