Jiu Ning had no time to dodge, and instantly summoned his internal strength to meet the palm strike.

Snapped!

The palm winds collided, the internal forces collided, and all the furnishings in the house were impacted, the porcelain shattered, the wooden furniture smashed, and scattered everywhere.

The man in black was knocked out by Jiuning's palm and hit the window.

The loud noise not only alarmed the female guests in the inner courtyard, but also alarmed the guards outside the door.

The man in black didn't care about anything else, got up and escaped through the window.

"Who is it... Come and catch the assassin..."

The guard arrived quickly and as he ran into the inner courtyard, he saw a dark shadow climbing onto the roof and running away.

"Girl, how are you?"

The guard was standing by the door and saw the mess inside the house, so he hurried forward to investigate.

Jiuning was lying on the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he pointed at the window.

"He fled to...there."

After saying this, the man fainted.

The guards did not dare to step forward, perhaps to call for help from Mother Fu. There was a panic in the guest house. The first to arrive were the guards at the palace gate. They surrounded the guest house and searched every room.

Yun Weishan had changed into black clothes and was preparing to go on a night visit. As soon as she left the guest house, it was surrounded. She had no choice but to sneak back in at the risk of her life.

"Who—there—"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was discovered by the guards, so Yun Weishan had to find a room to hide in.

"Come here, search for—"

Jiu Ning had already been moved to another room and placed on the bed. The doctor quickly came over with a medicine box on his back. He shook his head while taking her pulse. This was the future mistress of their Zheng Palace, so she had to be treated seriously.

"This girl has sustained serious injuries to her internal organs. She needs proper care."

Mrs. Fu, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly in assurance. As soon as she finished her examination, the guards came running over and dragged the doctor to another room.

"Doctor, please take a look."

The old doctor was very old and his beard was shaking with fatigue from being pulled around, but when he looked at the girl, he immediately bent down.

What he was looking at just now was the future mistress of their Zheng Palace, and now he was looking at the future Lady of the Blade. Ouch! This was really killing him.

"Hurry, carry it to the pharmacy, otherwise his life will be in danger."

Mother Fu's face was wrinkled so tightly that she could pinch a fly to death. Both of the brides she had just chosen today had met with misfortune in her hands.

"Quick, wrap the person in a blanket and carry him to the pharmacy... Doctor, does Miss Jiang need to be taken to the pharmacy?"

The doctor twirled his beard and could only shake his head.

"That person has internal injuries, so try not to move."

"Doctor, hurry up! There's another poisoned person here."

When she heard that something had happened, Mother Fu wanted to die. What was going on every day?

But she had to cheer up and follow the doctor to another room. As soon as she entered the room, Mother Fu realized something was wrong.

"Guards, where did you find her? Yun Weishan's room is not here."

The guard became alert upon hearing this. After the doctor finished his diagnosis, he also wrapped the man in a blanket and sent him to the pharmacy.

At this time, Gong Hongyu and Gong Shangjiao were sitting opposite each other in the blade holding room. Gong Hongyu had been praising Gong Shangjiao since he entered the room.

"For the past ten years, you have been working hard outside, and the Gong family's financial resources have been growing steadily. This is all thanks to you."

Gong Shangjiao's face, which had been cold for years, finally showed a hint of a smile.

"Over the years, you have always been the one to resolve disputes in the martial arts world. As a result, the prestige of the palace is even greater than before. This is all thanks to you."

The more Gong Hongyu spoke, the more relieved he felt. He looked at the documents on the table that had not yet been stamped, and his heart became more determined.

"As a member of the palace, this is what you should do."

Gong Shangjiao's modesty made Gong Hongyu even more satisfied.

"Don't be arrogant or impatient, good, good!"

After saying that, he stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the seal, and stamped it hard on the document.

"I called you here today because I have something important to tell you..."

At this moment, the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside.

"Father, I have something important to report."

Gong Hongyu was a little annoyed. As the young master, he even forgot the courtesy of knocking on the door before entering. It seemed that his decision was right.

"What's wrong with you? You look so pale."

Gong Huanyu couldn't help it, so he coughed twice and took a deep breath to suppress the blood and energy surging in his chest.

"Maybe you caught a cold. I'll go to the palace to get some medicine later."

Seeing that the two had something to discuss, Gong Shangjiao stood up on his own initiative, intending to avoid suspicion.

"Master Blade, it's already late. I will go back first."

Gong Hongyu looked at Gong Huanyu who was standing still and said bluntly.

"Just tell me what you have to say. Shangjiao is not an outsider."

"Father, the identity of the assassin who infiltrated the bride has been discovered. It's the second daughter of the Hunyuan Zheng family, Zheng Nanyi... ahem... I also discovered this on her."

Gong Huanyu couldn't stop the cough in his chest. While coughing, he hurriedly handed over the note in his hand.

Gong Hongyu reached out to take it, unfolded it and was immediately shocked.

"Infinite Flowing Fire."

"Father, I have brought the person here. Do you want to ask him in person?"

After saying that, he looked at Gong Shangjiao, and Gong Hongyu also looked over.

"Shang Jiao! This matter is of great importance. Remember not to spread it outside. Also, go to the Zheng family and see what exactly happened."

Gong Shangjiao stood up and left, and Gong Huanyu also revealed a hint of triumph in his smile...

In the guest house, Jiu Ning saw that everyone had left and slowly opened his eyes.

It was really hard to pretend to be sick, lying in bed unable to move at all. If she didn't want to be exposed so early, she wouldn't have to suffer this punishment.

But she was injured, so why didn't Gong Yuanzheng come to see her? It was like he was no longer interested in what he had, and after a long time, he forgot about it.

This is really abominable. No, I can't just let it go like this.

[System, if you come out, are you still going to complete the mission in this world?]

【Ding! The system is at your service.】

Don't hesitate...

[Yes! Host, I will rely on it for future transmigratings!]

Jiu Ning chuckled twice, scaring the system so much that it shuddered.

[You go tie yourself to Gong Yuanzheng and give him some difficult tasks. If he fails to complete them, you will strike him with lightning.]

If she remembered correctly, this system could rewind infinitely, so it could handle anything from thunder to meteorites.

The small system trembled even more. It knew the host was cruel, but it didn't expect it to be so cruel. Woo woo woo, what should it do? Even if it destroyed Gong Yuanzheng, it couldn't escape.

[But...but I don't know what mission to post! I don't have any story...]

[It's okay... I'll give you an idea. Go and tie him up first.]

The little system cried, but it couldn't resist.

Knock knock knock!

"Miss Jiang, can I come in?"

Jiu Ning was stunned. He came to see her at this time, to greet her? To show concern? But why didn't Gong Yuanzheng come?

"come in!"

The man was dressed in black and wearing a cloak. It was obvious that he was getting ready to go out, but it was already very late.

"Brother Gong Er!"
