Sure enough, not long after, a guard came to report that someone was bringing Miss Alia to ask to see the eldest prince, and that they were from the Dingbei Palace.

Asek immediately said, "Let them in."

Zi Han came in with Alia, pushed her to the ground, bowed to Chu Yunxi and Asek, and said, "Princess, Prince, this woman was sneaking around and tried to run away, but was caught by my subordinates."

Alia looked at Asek's gloomy face and said in horror: "Prince, I am not..."

Asek said, "No what? You don't want to escape? Then tell me, why don't you dare to go for a physical examination?"

"I..." Alia bit her lip and suddenly made a move, lightly slapping Asek on the chest. Although it seemed powerless, Asek's face changed drastically. He realized that this palm was exactly the same as the one that killed Ali, so he hurriedly retreated. However, Alia's palm was so fast that Zi Han could not save Asek in time. Baiyu and Heimu were even farther away, and Chu Yunxi, who was the closest, did not know martial arts and could not resist.

Just as the palm was about to hit Asek's chest, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind Asek and met Alia's palm. Asek was grabbed by the back and pulled out. He stumbled back several steps before he finally stood firm and let out a long sigh of relief with lingering fear.

Only then did he see clearly that the person who saved his life was an old man. After a palm fight with Alia, he remained motionless, while Alia took three steps back, covering her chest, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

She steadied her breath, then raised her head and looked at the old man in front of her, asking viciously, "Who are you? Why do you know the Tathagata Palm?"

How could she still look like the obedient and weak maid she was when she was a maid? Asek felt that he didn't know the woman in front of him at all, but he wanted to know the identity of this old man, where was he just now, and why did he suddenly appear behind him?

Chu Yunxi was the closest, so she quickly supported Asek and asked, "Prince, are you okay?"

Asek shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He pointed at the old man and asked, "Who is this?"

Chu Yunxi whispered, "We are one family, don't worry, Your Highness."

Asek was relieved. At this time, Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi also came out of the tent after hearing the noise. Xiao Mubei saw Xiao Shan appear and knew that something must have gone wrong. He only heard Xiao Shan say, "Who am I? You are not qualified to know. Let me ask you, where is the Mufeng man?"

Alia said angrily: "How dare you call the master by his name? Who are you?"

Xiao Shan stretched out his hand and waved it. With a crisp "snap" sound, Aria's head tilted to one side, and five finger marks slowly appeared on her face. The man from the Xianle School who was kneeling on the ground couldn't help but shout, "Senior Sister."

Alia was horrified. The old man in front of her had practiced the Tathagata Palm to the point where he could hurt people from a distance. Even her master had not reached this level. She knew that she was completely doomed today, and the man's call of "senior sister" made it impossible for her to hide her identity any longer.

Asek clenched his fists tightly. He still couldn't believe that Alia was a member of the assassin organization. She had been by his side for five years. So, he had been targeted for at least five years. In these five years, he didn't know how many times his life was on the line, and he didn't know how many secrets she had stolen from him.

Alia's mind was all on Xiao Shan at the moment. She looked at Xiao Shan in disbelief and dared not speak nonsense. Xiao Shan did not ask any more questions, but looked at Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi understood what he meant, so she said to Asek: "Prince, the accomplices of the assassin have been found. This old man is the master of the prince. He has some connection with the masters of these assassins. Now he wants to clean up the mess. Can you please be flexible and hand over these two assassins to Master Xiao Shan so that he can wipe out the Black Killing Order?"

Being able to destroy the assassin organization of the Black Killing Order was also Asek's wish. Since Chu Yunxi said so, he had to give Xiao Mubei face no matter what. He walked to a place a few steps away from Alia and stopped, looking at Alia and said: "You have been by my side for five years. How have I treated you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Alia snorted coldly and said, "I came to you just to kill you."

"Then why are you taking so long to act? Who sent you here?"

Alia said, "Don't waste your breath. I won't tell you. We in the Xianle Sect never betray our employers. Now that I've been captured by you, you can kill me or chop me up as you please. Don't even think about getting any information from me."

"Xianle Sect?"

Xiao Shan was a little impatient and said, "Leave them to me. I will tell you who is behind this by tomorrow morning."

Xiao Mubei stepped forward and said, "Grand Prince, Master Xiao Shan has a way. Let's hand the man over to him for trial."

Xiao Shan is also a member of the Xianle Sect. He is very clear about the sect's weaknesses, so it would be much easier to get twice the result with half the effort if he were to be the one to investigate the people.

Asek now has absolute trust in Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. Hearing this, he said, "Okay, you can take them away. But tomorrow, I want to know who is behind all this."

Xiao Shan did not respond. When he heard Asek say that he could take the people away, he immediately grabbed one with each hand and flew up. The two people he caught seemed to lose their ability to move immediately and let him fly away without even making a sound.

The busy morning finally came to an end. Although the two assassins were caught, Asek did not feel relieved. Alia was the maid he relied on the most, and Ali was his personal guard. But now, before they reached their destination, both of them were gone. This made him feel empty inside, and he couldn't describe the feeling.

After asking everyone to go to their respective posts, Asek walked back to his tent with heavy steps. Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi and Chu Zhongxi followed him in. Chu Yunxi saw that Asek was in a low mood and looked at Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei then said, "Your Highness, now that all the assassins have been caught, this is something worth celebrating. Why don't we have a banquet in the tent at noon and invite all the officials in the delegation to come and sit together, just to get to know each other in advance. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Asek was in a state of confusion at the moment, his mind was blank, and he could only believe whatever Xiao Mubei said, so he said, "Okay, then I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the banquet."

Chu Yunxi said slowly, "The eldest prince can spread this matter first and let everyone know. You will host a banquet for everyone at noon so that the traitor can also be prepared."
