Yun Jiusi slowly opened his eyes, just as the sharp sword tip was about to pierce his throat.

Suddenly, a long sword flashing with cold light flashed across like lightning, accurately knocking away the sword that was about to pierce his body.

Yun Jiusi widened his eyes and looked at everything that was happening before his eyes, his heart filled with surprise and confusion.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw was a mysterious figure, covered with a black veil, so his face could not be seen clearly, but from his agile posture, it could be seen that he was very skilled.

The man was standing in front of him, waving a sword in his hand and engaging in a fierce fight with the enemy.

The thrilling scene just now made Ouyang Miaoling, who was being entangled by another guard, turn pale and her heartbeat accelerated.

He nervously watched the battle in front of him, thankful that he was not injured.

However, what shocked her even more was that someone actually came to the rescue at the critical moment and protected Yun Jiusi's safety.

Just as they were fighting fiercely, there was a noise outside, and then a large group of guards broke into the banquet hall.

Faced with so many enemies, the three knew they could not compete with them.

At this time, the mysterious masked man whispered: "Go... It's not advisable to stay here for long!"

After saying that, he quickly cooperated with Ouyang Miaoling, fighting and retreating at the same time.

During this process, the masked man always kept Yun Jiusi tightly behind him to ensure his safety.

When a few people retreated to the door, they were surrounded by guards.

"Go!" a familiar voice sounded again.

Ouyang Miaoling, the masked man and Yun Jiusi leaped up and used their lightness skills to leave the villa.

In order to shake off the pursuers behind them, the three of them ran for several miles in one breath. They stopped only when they were sure that no one was catching up with them.

"Nangong Mingxuan, why are you here?"

Ouyang Miaoling felt that the person who came to help them was very familiar all the way, until just now he confirmed that this person was Nangong Mingxuan.

"You recognized me?" Nangong Mingxuan took off the veil covering his face.

"It's you," Ouyang Miaoling confirmed again.

"How do you know we are there? And how can you come to our rescue at the critical moment? Did you send someone to follow me again?" Ouyang Miaoling asked.

"No... I definitely didn't send anyone to follow you. I just heard that something happened to the Crown Prince of Dayu, so I went to check nearby. I didn't expect to accidentally see you there. I was afraid that you were in danger, so I followed you to see what you were going to do."

"You still said you didn't follow me?" Ouyang Miaoling said angrily after listening to Nangong Mingxuan's explanation.

"I really didn't mean to follow you. I saw Li'er on the street yesterday. She thought you were missing and was looking for you everywhere on the street. I just happened to see you today and was afraid that something had happened to you, so I followed you." Nangong Mingxuan explained anxiously, fearing that she had misunderstood something.

Yun Jiusi, who was standing aside, watched the two of them arguing without knowing what was going on.

"Auntie Ling, who is this?" Yun Jiusi asked in confusion.

Only then did Nangong Mingxuan shift his attention to Yun Jiusi.

"Who is this?" Nangong Mingxuan asked Ouyang Miaoling puzzledly.

Ouyang Miaoling only then noticed that they saw each other, so she decided not to hide it anymore.

"This is Dayu's Crown Prince Yun Jiusi," Ouyang Miaoling introduced calmly.

"This is Aunt Ling's friend. He just passed by and saved you," Ouyang Miaoling explained to Yun Jiusi.

"Thank you for saving my life, hero." Yun Jiusi thanked Nangong Mingxuan for saving his life.

Nangong Mingxuan was indeed stunned where he stood, “Wasn’t he burned to death in the fire?” Nangong Mingxuan stammered as he told the truth.

"You are right, hero. I am the crown prince who was burned to death in the fire. Thanks to Aunt Ling's rescue, I was able to come back to life." Yun Jiusi said and looked at Ouyang Miaoling.

"You were with him during the days you were missing, so is he our..."

Just when Nangong Mingxuan was about to ask aloud the doubts in his heart, Ouyang Miaoling reached out and covered his mouth directly, causing him to swallow what he was about to say.

Ouyang Miaoling quickly gave him a look. Nangong Mingxuan thought of how Yun Jiusi had addressed Ouyang Miaoling before, and seemed to understand something. She nodded at Ouyang Miaoling before she took her hand away.

"My dear hero, what did you just say?" Yun Jiusi asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just... I just found out that you are the son of our good friend." Nangong Mingxuan suddenly had an idea, and the white lie he told was exactly the same as what Ouyang Miaoling had said.

"Oh... I already know this. Aunt Ling rescued me because of her friendship with my mother, and then she accompanied me to find the person behind the scenes." Yun Jiusi looked at Ouyang Miaoling with gratitude.

Nangong Mingxuan was so excited after receiving Ouyang Miaoling's confirming look. He was still sad for losing his biological son the moment before, and the next moment he was excited for finding his son again.

He walked up to Yun Jiusi and looked at him with a fatherly expression, as if he wanted to make up for all the regrets of the past sixteen years.

Yun Jiusi felt a little embarrassed when Nangong Mingxuan looked at him, so he reminded him, "What's this uncle's name?"

Nangong Mingxuan immediately wanted to explain that he was not an uncle, he was his biological father.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Ouyang Miaoling glanced at him and he was so scared that he swallowed them back.

"Nangong Xuan, you can call me Uncle Nangong from now on. Like your Aunt Ling, I will accompany you and help you find the person behind the scenes." Nangong Mingxuan said in a firm tone.

"No..., it's enough for me to have Aunt Ling accompany me, so I don't dare to trouble Uncle Nangong. I will definitely repay Uncle Nangong for saving my life in the future."

"Now I have found out the person who wants to attack me. The next step is to get evidence and bring him to justice," Yun Jiusi said in a firm tone.

"By the way, Si'er, you said you knew that person. Who is that person?" Ouyang Miaoling asked the questions that had puzzled her along the way.

"That man is my second uncle's son, Yun Yi. He has been kept in his fiefdom by my father. This time he escaped my father's spies and ran to this place secretly, which in itself has violated the law."

"Your second uncle, isn't that Yun Mu?" Nangong Mingxuan blurted out.

Yun Jiusi immediately became alert: "How do you know my second uncle's name? Since my father ascended the throne, he has issued a clear order not to mention my second uncle in the court. Now in Dayu Kingdom, few people know my second uncle's name."

"Well...I met your Second Uncle once before, so it's understandable that I still remember him."

Yun Jiusi looked at him in confusion, obviously not buying Nangong Mingxuan's explanation.
