Inside the grand hall.
Wen Shixi sat on a chair, taking a deep breath.
He then slowly raised his head to look at Mr. Gu, who was standing beside him.
After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke. "Mr. Gu, I've been terrified lately. I feel like I could die at any moment."
"Has Jiang Chen really scared me this badly?"
Beneath Mr. Gu's black robe, his face and expression were completely hidden.
Still, a muffled voice emerged from under the hood.
"Your Highness, has there been more bad news recently?"
Instead of answering Wen Shixi directly, Mr. Gu posed a question of his own.
He could guess that the current Wen Shixi seemed to be terrified of Jiang Chen.
After all, Jiang Chen had repeatedly defeated Lord Wen and dealt Wen Shixi a crushing blow at the Alchemy Master Guild.
Coupled with the Guardian Beast's betrayal, this series of shocking events had indeed taken a huge toll on the Second Prince's state of mind.
Wen Shixi gave a bitter smile.
