Quick Wear: Boss, please stop being so high

"Snapped--"

The screen carved with delicate patterns and embroidered with beautiful scenes was smashed into pieces and scattered all over the ground by the force carried by the man in black who suddenly smashed over.

The man in black who fell on the fragments of the screen had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he did not give up. Instead, he tried hard to prop himself up and stood up again.

The empress looked at him, frowned, and didn't say anything. She just stood in front of the man in black, watching his movements.

The man in black held the sword and attacked the empress again.

The empress stretched out her hand, but the next second, the man in black who was about to reach the empress suddenly disappeared.

The empress seemed a little surprised, her pupils shrank slightly, and the man in black took this opportunity to appear behind the empress.

Because the black-clad man's movements were so strange, the empress's back was exposed to the black-clad man without any protection.

Staring closely at the spot in front of him where the Empress' heart was, the man in black stabbed suddenly, but he didn't expect that he would miss - he didn't stab the Empress, but only her afterimage.

This just shows how fast the empress was and how strong her martial arts were. This is not the strength that an empress who stayed in the palace should possess!

The man in black stood there in confusion. He didn't know why, but he felt that this scene was a little familiar. But soon, he shook his head and threw away these messy thoughts.

Before he could think about it, a sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind him.

The man in black turned around quickly and raised the sword in his hand. With a loud clang, the two swords collided and the sword bodies rubbed against each other, making an extremely harsh sound of "chi la chi la".

The man in black looked at the empress in front of him with surprise. The next second, the empress's figure disappeared in front of him again.

"Who... are you and why do you know this trick?!" the man in black looked around vigilantly.

He was very confused as to why the empress knew the same move as him. Unfortunately, now was not the time for him to think about this question.

The next moment, a strange wave suddenly came from the air behind the left side of the man in black.

He turned around subconsciously, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the empress did not appear behind his left, but appeared behind him.

"Shh-"

Some of the bright red blood flew into the air because of the blade and fell onto the carpet in the bedroom.

The other part of the blood flowed down the black-clothed man's body and soaked into his black clothes. Because the cloth was dark in color, if you didn't smell the blood, you might not have noticed that he was injured.

The man in black gritted his teeth, ignored the wounds on his body, and with red eyes, he held the sword again and stood up.

The next second, with a clang, the sword in his hand fell.

The empress held the sword in her hand and stood before him, pointing it at his throat. After a long while, she asked, "Who are you?"

Ling Hanxiao sneered and said, "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. Does it matter who I am?"

The empress raised her eyebrows and looked at the black-clothed man's uncovered eyebrows and eyes and said, "It should be unimportant, but... I found that your eyebrows, eyes, and body movements are really like an old friend of mine."

The man in black snorted and turned his head away, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

The empress keenly caught the emotion in the eyes of the man in black, so she continued: "My old friend's surname is Ling. Ling means lofty ambitions."

The man in black, or rather Ling Hanxiao, was stunned. He suddenly raised his head, stared at the empress and asked: "What did you just say?!"

"really......"

Seeing Ling Hanxiao's reaction, the Empress suddenly sighed, retracted the sword in her hand and said, "You must be Junior Brother's only son."

When the empress said this, she used a declarative sentence rather than a question, which meant that she didn't actually need Ling Hanxiao's answer.

Because she had found the answer she wanted from Ling Hanxiao's reaction.

Ling Hanxiao looked at the empress in bewilderment and said, "What are you talking about?! What little junior brother, what..."

The empress looked at Ling Hanxiao's defensive expression, turned around slowly and said:

"I... before I took that position, I traveled around the martial arts world for a few years... and at that time, my name was - Frost Moon."

After hearing this name, Ling Hanxiao's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly remembered it.

His father did tell him that he once had a very powerful senior sister, but for some reason, she left the world, and the name of that senior sister was Han Shuangyue!

Ling Hanxiao looked at the empress in disbelief and said, "How... is this possible?!"

The empress looked at Ling Hanxiao with a complicated expression, and after a long while she spoke, "Is your father... okay?"

Ling Hanxiao suddenly smiled. He looked at the empress with an unclear expression and asked, "My father?"

Seeing Ling Hanxiao's red eyes, the empress had a bad feeling for some reason. She opened her mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "You...what's your reaction? What happened to Xuanjun?!"

Ling Xuanjun, Ling Hanxiao's father, is also the previous leader of the martial arts world.

Ling Hanxiao looked at the empress and said, "What happened to my father? Don't you know?"

The empress looked at Ling Hanxiao and saw the answer from his eyes. She murmured, "He...something happened..."

Ling Hanxiao asked the empress in return: "Don't you know?"

The empress opened her mouth and suddenly realized that Ling Hanxiao's eyes were full of hatred when he looked at her.

The empress was a little confused. Why did Ling Hanxiao hate her?

Thinking so, the empress asked.

Ling Hanxiao smiled coldly and said, "Why? How dare you ask me this question? You clearly said at the beginning that you would show up as soon as the signal flare went out!"

"You once told my father that you would protect him! But when my father released the flare and exposed his position, where were you? Did you come?!"

Looking at the sorrow and hatred in Ling Hanxiao's eyes, the empress was speechless and didn't know how to explain.

After a while, she just said awkwardly: "I'm sorry..."

Tears just flowed down the corners of Ling Hanxiao's eyes, and he suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

His father lost his life because he believed the empress's joking words.

And what about him?

He is even more stupid than his father...
