Capítulo 552: Chapter 552 Alliance Formation

"The Ninth Prince's purpose for traveling south has been attained, and here I am, lying in comfort, eating delicacies, and savoring spicy foods—how is that not a good thing?"

Wenren Pingting choked, her mind whirring into action.

"Could it be that you were truly outwitted by the Ninth Prince? Does he really want to kill you?"

Wenren Pingting quickly conjured up another possibility.

Bai Junjun had pledged allegiance to Yuwen Jun, only to discover that he intended to use her to create the opportunity to travel south, kept in the dark until a shocking upheaval struck in Biluo City. Following that, she found herself on the run.

"Or perhaps, after he escorted you to the Northern Lands, he never left and once again came to your rescue, bringing you here."

Him?

Bai Junjun's eyes flickered—was this person speaking about Li Wenli?

If it was Li Wenli, why not just say the name directly, but instead refer to him as "him"?
