Chapter 548: Defensive Boundary

It would have been better if Shaoyao didn’t mention it, seeing as Qiao Mu’s pitiful heart was now rather perturbed and unsettled.

Qiao Mu tugged at Shaoyao.

This girl was now a seventeen to eighteen year-old tall and voluptuous young lady. She had a rosy oval face and a smiling pair of extremely quick-witted eyes.

“Little Master, don’t hesitate to tell Shaoyao if you have any requests.” Shaoyao said with a grin.

“Shaoyao, can’t I go out for a walk?” Such fine weather was hard to come by, and it was her first time in the royal palace. Yet, she wasn’t even allowed to go outside for a stroll?

Shaoyao shook her head like a rattle-drum. “No can do, Little Master. You’ve already seen how His Highness has already enclosed this bedchamber with several layers of energy. His Highness hasn’t given you permission to pass through it, so you can’t go outside.”

“This is a defensive boundary, right.” Don’t think that she didn’t know what this thing was! Our dear Qiao Mu gritted her small sharp teeth.

She had once seen Fan Qiuhe use this kind of large-scale defensive boundary before. It could instantly enclose several, even a dozen, people inside and resist external attacks.

The effects of a defensive boundary were comparable to that of a defensive mystic weapon.

The difference was that the defensive mystic weapon’s defensive shield could only serve a defensive purpose at best.

On the other hand, it was a whole other matter for a defensive boundary set up by someone.

When you were inside someone else’s defensive boundary, it meant the person who set up the defensive boundary could constantly observe your each and every move, every frown and every smile, so long as they wanted to…

Of course, a person’s defensive boundary was unable to be sustained for a long period of time. Normal mystic cultivators were simply unable to set up their own defensive boundaries, either.

After all, how long it could be sustained, and how strong its defensive power was, were all closely related to the person’s own cultivation.

If the person’s mystic energy was exhausted, the defensive boundary would naturally disappear.

However, the crown prince doing this really made her speechless!

He set up a defensive boundary for no reason just to confine her from leaving. Then, didn’t it consume his mystic energy to maintain the defensive boundary and constantly monitor any of her abnormal movements, all while discussing politics in the southern study?

In addition, the defensive boundary that he set up covered an extremely large area, already enveloping an entire bedchamber. The energy consumed was naturally much greater.

She just didn’t know, regarding his cultivation… how high was it? This action of casually setting up a large-scale defensive boundary was so willful that it raised people’s hackles!

Shaoyao laughed awkwardly, cough cough. She also felt that His Highness was overly anxious.

Little Master was already inside the Eastern Palace. Where else could she run to? You needed an identity tablet to go in and out of the royal palace. How could Little Master go out without an identity tablet?

There were more than ten thousand royal guards, who were definitely not just decorations, patrolling inside the palace. It was close to impossible for Little Master to take advantage of the situation and slip out of the palace.

If Qiao Mu knew what Shaoyao was thinking, she would definitely give her a humph.

As long as this darling used an invisibility talisman, those royal guards wouldn’t notice her even if she were to stroll right up to them! Not everyone’s cultivation was higher than this darling’s! As long as she was cautious and evaded those people with top-notch cultivation, how could normal royal guards stop her?

Just as the two were speaking, Xiao’xi’zi directed a group of people to carry one large chest after another inside.

Qiao Mu stared with widened eyes at Xiao’xi’zi and company.

Xiao’xi’zi and the rest hurriedly came forward to give a bow. He said respectfully, “Miss, His Highness said that Miss can look through these medical books for now to relieve your boredom should you feel so inclined.”
