When Jiang Ciyuan mentioned that the Dragon King had ulterior motives towards Yan Zhiqiao, his expression immediately changed.

There was disgust and also a hint of unnatural embarrassment.

Fortunately, Yan Zhiqiao did not show any sign of abnormality, and from last night to this morning, she did not vent her anger on him.

Jiang Ciyuan calmed himself and took a breath silently.

"Go and interrogate Shen Yao carefully to see if we can force out more useful information."

Mo Huai would naturally not disobey Jiang Ciyuan's orders.

"Yes."

…………

In the next few days, Jiang Ciyuan became extremely busy and was hardly seen during the day.

But every time it was midnight, he would return to the inn on time to rest with Yan Zhiqiao.

Yan Zhiqiao didn't feel bored staying alone in the inn. He concentrated on tinkering with the jade carving that he was going to give to Jiang Ciyuan.

She never took the initiative to ask what Jiang Ciyuan had done recently. It was Jiang Ciyuan who told her everything.

Seeing that things were going smoothly and he would be able to return to the fox clan soon, he never expected that an accident would happen.

It was just getting dark that day.

Yan Zhiqiao put down the jade carving and carving knife and rubbed his sore eyes.

Just as she was about to get up and move around, a magic bird landed silently at her hand.

Yan Zhiqiao glanced at it, and soon Gui Ning's voice came out of its mouth.

"Master, I have sneaked into the Silver Moon Palace and explored Shen Yao's memory, but I still cannot find the identity of the person who changed Shen Yao's face."

Yan Zhiqiao frowned, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.

However, due to the lack of clues and the fact that it did not have much impact on her at the moment, she no longer persisted in investigating.

"Tell Gui Ning to let her go back."

"Yes."

The magic bird responded obediently, rubbed Yan Zhiqiao's fingers, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

Before I knew it, the hour of Hai had passed.

At this time a few days ago, Jiang Ciyuan had already hurried back to hug her, but today...

Yan Zhiqiao waited for a long time but no one showed up, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

After thinking about it, she decided to go out and find someone.

But just as she was about to leave, the Demon Bird that had just left came back, and then Gui Ning's anxious voice rang out in the quiet guest room.

"Master, come and save Jiang Ciyuan."

In an instant, an overwhelming aura of murderous intent emanated from Yan Zhiqiao, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

A quarter of an hour later, Moque led Yan Zhiqiao to a deserted forest outside the city.

There are no stars tonight, only a bright moon hanging in the night sky.

The bright moonlight shines down, allowing people to see the surrounding situation clearly even without any light.

As soon as he landed, Yan Zhiqiao felt the strong demonic and evil spirits intertwined in the air.

She raised her eyes and looked around, and soon saw corpses scattered on the ground not far away, and Mo Huai who was kneeling on the ground, obviously seriously injured.

Behind him was Jiang Ciyuan who had already lost consciousness.

Yan Zhiqiao's expression was already cold, and after seeing this scene, it suddenly became even gloomier.

Without thinking, she quickly walked to Jiang Ciyuan.

"Miss Yan!"

Seeing that the person coming was Yan Zhiqiao, Mo Huai, who had been alert, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they are not reinforcements from the demon clan!

Yan Zhiqiao ignored Mo Huai. After smelling the strong smell of blood coming from Jiang Ciyuan, he quickly pulled his wrist to feel his pulse.

The pulse is so weak that it is almost undetectable...

If she had come a step later, Jiang Ciyuan would probably have died!

Yan Zhiqiao didn't think much about it and directly input a natural force into Jiang Ciyuan.

With Mo Huai's strength, he is currently unable to sense the existence of natural forces, so in his eyes, Yan Zhiqiao's actions seemed to be her transferring her demonic power to Jiang Ciyuan.

When Jiang Ciyuan's pulse stabilized and he was no longer in danger, she withdrew her hand in time and turned her head to look coldly at Mo Huai.

"What happened? Who hurt him so badly?!"

Facing the furious Yan Zhiqiao, Mo Huai took a deep breath and spoke with some difficulty.

"I received news earlier that there are demons in Longyin City. They may have learned that something happened to the king, so they want to take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"Today, I happened to find some clues. After reporting to His Highness, His Highness brought me and a group of guards to this place to capture him."

"I never thought that those demons were so powerful. We had to fight hard with them before we managed to kill them all."

"Your Highness was seriously injured because he was trying to block a sneak attack from a demon for me... It was my fault that I failed to protect Your Highness!"

At the end of his words, Mo Huai lowered his head in self-blame and shame.

Although it was Mo Huai who caused Jiang Ciyuan to be seriously injured, Yan Zhiqiao was not so stupid as to put the blame on him without knowing right from wrong.

"Demons? Do you know who they are working for?"

Having said too many words at once, Mo Huai had some difficulty clearing his dry throat.

"It was sent by Demon Lord Xuan Yu."

As soon as the familiar name "Xuan Yu" came out, suffocating murderous intent suddenly burst out from Yan Zhiqiao.

Even though Mo Huai had already developed extraordinary courage, he still broke out in a cold sweat at this moment.

Xuan Yu...

Very good!

She hadn't even gone to seek revenge on him yet, but he actually dared to attack her people!

Just wait, she will make sure Xuan Yu is killed without a burial place!

Yan Zhiqiao suppressed his surging anger and raised his hand to transfer some magic power to Mo Huai.

Mo Huai had no time to stop him, so he could only wait for Yan Zhiqiao to withdraw his hand before he could thank him.

"Thank you Miss Yan."

After a pause, he asked again with some confusion.

"But why did Miss Yan suddenly come here? I just asked for help from the palace..."

"I saw that my senior brother hadn't returned yet, so I went out to look for him. Unexpectedly, I tracked his presence here."

Yan Zhiqiao made up an excuse and said no more.

Just in time, the guards came to support.

In today's battle, except for Mo Huai and Jiang Ciyuan who survived, all the other guards died on the spot.

Mo Huai left some people to deal with the bodies, and then took Jiang Ciyuan to the Silver Moon Palace.

Of course Yan Zhiqiao is together.

But before leaving, she suddenly looked towards the dense forest in front of her right.

When everyone left and the forest returned to silence, a sneer sounded in the night wind.

"You'd better pray that the master doesn't find out what you've done, otherwise... hehe."

Silver Moon Palace.

Although Yan Zhiqiao saved Jiang Ciyuan's life, he was helpless against his injuries.

Fortunately, the doctors in the palace are highly skilled and have no shortage of rare medicinal materials.

When they were treating Jiang Ciyuan's injuries in the bedroom, Yan Zhiqiao stood outside the screen with a sullen face, not saying a word.

After a while, the Dragon Queen, who had received the news, hurried over.

She felt very sad to see her own son suffer such a disaster.

Even though the doctor himself stated that Jiang Ciyuan was not in danger of death, her expression did not improve.

In order not to hinder the doctor from treating Jiang Ciyuan's injuries, the Dragon Queen tactfully withdrew.

Then, she met Yan Zhiqiao's eyes.
