A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Xiao Qiannan carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage, then gently lowered it. After a while, she looked through the gap in the curtain again and carefully observed the prosperous scene of Tokyo City.

Ning Sijue sat quietly in the carriage, staring at the arrowhead in his hand, as if it was an incomprehensible puzzle, or as if he was thinking about an old object.

That day, a cold arrow suddenly came from the dark. It looked like an assassination, but it seemed to leave a glimmer of room for defense.

Ning Sijue's lightness skills are unrivaled in the world, however, he could not catch up with the Lord of Cold Arrows no matter what, not to mention Xiao Fan and Jia Xu behind him.

When he chased all the way to the bamboo forest in the mountains, the owner of the cold arrow disappeared like a ghost, but the rusty arrowhead in his hand suddenly flew out from the darkness.

"Sixth brother, you've been looking at this broken arrowhead for several days. Is there anything special about it?"

Xiao Qiannan finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked softly.

Ning Sijue raised his head expressionlessly, looked at Xiao Qiannan, and spoke slowly.

"It's his."

"Who is he?"

Lin Mo's interest was also piqued, so he interrupted and asked.

"Dayan's number one expert, Old Ghost Xue Mo Dao."

Ning Sijue's voice was calm and low.

"Is it your master who wants to kill us?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu blurted out in astonishment.

After all, when he chased to the bamboo forest in the mountains that day, he didn't see anyone. He only saw Ning Sijue standing there in a daze.

"He's warning us."

Ning Sijue's tone remained cold, as if all this was within his expectations.

"What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Fan asked suspiciously, obviously confused about the meaning of this sentence.

Ning Sijue took a deep breath and explained slowly.

"All my martial arts, including archery, were taught to me by him. When I returned to Dasheng, he gave me an arrowhead exactly like this one and warned me that if I ever see it again, it will serve as a warning."

After saying that, Ning Sijue wrapped the arrowhead in cloth and put it into his sleeve.

Then, after a brief pause, he continued.

"Tomorrow morning, Jia Xu, you will take Nan'er and Miss Lin Er with you and set off back to Yinan with the poison doctor."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiannan frowned and asked in confusion.

"Were there still seven or eight days until the date the poison doctor mentioned? Why are you sending us back in such a hurry?"

Lin Mo also seemed a little anxious and interrupted.

"But, Huan'er...Jianing's identity is still..."

Ning Sijue interrupted him, shook his head, and spoke in a firm tone.

"Every day you stay increases the danger. The one in the South City Courtyard is very thoughtful. Don't forget the purpose of your visit. You must not put the cart before the horse."

Lin Mo was not willing to leave like this, she said after thinking for a moment.

"I finally got some news about Huan'er, and I... don't want to leave. No matter what, I want to know if she's still alive. Otherwise, let Ah Xu take Nan'er and the poison doctor back to Yinan first."

Lin Mo said with a choked but firm voice.

"How can I leave if you don't leave?"

Jia Xu looked at his wife in astonishment, as if he had heard the most incredible words in the world. Looking at Lin Mo's red eyes, his eyes were full of heartache.

Ning Sijue naturally understood that Lin Mo would never give up the opportunity to find Lin Qinghuan easily at this moment. He looked around at everyone present, and then said to Xiao Fan beside him.

"Then Jia Xu and Miss Lin will go back to Jinhan with me later. Ah Fan, you and Nan'er will go back to Yinan first to treat Big Brother."

When Xiao Fan heard this, his heart tightened. The purpose of his trip was to protect Ning Sijue's safety. Now he was asked to leave first, so he quickly spoke.

"I can't leave you here."

His tone was extremely firm, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

Ning Sijue said upon seeing this.

"I'm fine. My elder brother is in danger now. It's most important that you and Nan'er go first."

"Hongqi is here too. You can go back with Nan'er and rescue Brother Xiao without worry. We are here to ensure the Sixth Prince's safety."

Jia Xu said quickly, after all, his kung fu was on par with Xiao Fan's.

Xiao Fan was still a little hesitant. After all, he was always worried about Ning Sijue's safety.

However, just when he was about to say something else, Ning Sijue patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile.

"Let's arrange it this way. I know what I'm doing, so you don't have to worry too much."

The carriage entered the palace slowly. The dinner in the front hall was also being properly arranged. All the palace maids and eunuchs were busy doing their own work, just to ensure that tonight's banquet would be held without any mistakes.

Su Jin sat in the queen's bedroom, feeling very nervous.

"Sister, am I going to dance the Green Waist Dance tonight?"
