When Tao Yao was hesitating and confused, Chu Huanjun's big palm suddenly touched Tao Yao's back and patted her twice, as if to tell her to be at ease.

Chu Huanjun raised his head and smiled at the man in black, saying, "Oh, I see. You're from Wuyan Pavilion..." He paused, then continued, "I've heard that people from Wuyan Pavilion never leave any traces when they do things. So, why did you introduce yourself?"

The man in black suddenly sneered. Tao Yao's heart moved, and the voice and face of the man she met on the street a few days ago suddenly appeared in her mind.

No wonder the voice of the man in black sounded so familiar, as if they were the same person.

"If I kill you today..." The man in black suddenly released a pair of flying blades from his hands and pointed them directly at Tao Yao. He said, "If everyone is dead, there's no way to tell the authorities who killed you today. Isn't this also a way to leave no trace?"

Chu Huanjun sneered twice, thinking it was ridiculous and not wanting to get entangled with this person any more. He waved his hand and said, "We are just two ordinary people. We have been doing our duty all our lives. There is no need for the masters of Wuyan Pavilion to come and take our lives personally. I have important matters to attend to. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Chu Huanjun grabbed Tao Yao's hand and prepared to leave. But at this moment, a rustling sound of wind suddenly came from behind them, followed by a burst of fast footsteps.

A very familiar groan reached Tao Yao's ears. She subconsciously turned her head, but saw a crowd of nearly dozens of people wearing black robes and black hats surrounding them from behind. Those people were holding hidden weapons in their hands, and among them, there was clearly a hostage being kidnapped.

Tao Yao looked closely and found that the hostage was Song Zhishou.

In an instant, Tao Yao and Song Zhishou's eyes met. Song Zhishou shook his head desperately and shouted, "Leave me alone! Go!"

Chu Huanjun also stopped immediately and turned around to see Song Zhishou being tied up by five big men in black in the crowd. His outer clothes had been stripped off, leaving only a thin undershirt.

Even from a distance, one could vaguely see a few bloodstains on Song Zhishou's clothes. He must have fought with these people, but in the end he was outnumbered and captured by them.

These people from Wuyan Pavilion took Song Zhishou hostage and stood in front of Chu Huanjun to threaten him. It seemed that they must have known something and concluded that Song Zhishou and Chu Huanjun were in the same group.

This incense tasting conference was indeed not simple - Tao Yao looked up at Chu Huanjun in a daze. She could not predict why Chu Huanjun came to this incense tasting conference today.

Going around to buy incense is fake, but intercepting the treasures that Wuyan Pavilion is about to auction off is real. What exactly is Wuyan Pavilion doing?

Chu Huanjun could see Tao Yao's confusion, so he gave her a reassuring look and whispered, "I'll explain it to you."

Tao Yao held Chu Huanjun's hand and said, "Don't worry about me. Go save Song Zhishou first."

Chu Huanjun's expression changed, and he couldn't hide his worry in his eyes: "No, I have to ensure your safety first."

Tao Yao shook her head and said, "It's okay, I have a way."

After she finished speaking, seeing that Chu Huanjun was still unwilling to let go, Tao Yao simply bit his tiger's mouth and then shook his hand away with force.

"Go!" Tao Yao pushed Chu Huanjun hard and whispered, "Do you want to see your long-planned plan come to nothing?!"

When Tao Yao's words reached Chu Huanjun's ears, it was like a thunderclap that made his whole body tremble three times.

At that time, he had been pushed towards Lu Che by Tao Yao. When he turned around, a group of men in black had surrounded Tao Yao.

Tao Yao stood where she was, imitating Chu Huanjun's behavior, and gave him a reassuring smile, then waved her hand and told him to leave quickly.

At that time, the leading man in black flew down from the tree without anyone noticing and put a long knife on Song Zhishou's neck.

The man in black took off the veil on his head, revealing his face. Tao Yao could see his face clearly from a distance and was shocked. It was indeed the man she met at the Longjing tea and pastry stall in Qingshui Town that day.

He turned out to be from Wuyan Pavilion.

Zhong Wuyou met Chu Huanjun's eyes with a wry smile and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi, it's our first meeting. I've long heard of your great name, and seeing you today, I can see that it truly lives up to its reputation."

Chu Huanjun was in no mood to argue with him and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense."

He pointed at Song Zhishou, then pointed behind him and said, "Let him go, and her too."

Zhong Wuyou carefully examined Chu Huanjun from head to toe, scoffed again, and said, "Your Highness, don't you think your request is too greedy? One can't have it all... However, Your Highness is of noble status, so it's not surprising that sometimes you want more. I have a condition. If Your Highness agrees, this matter can have the best of both worlds."

Chu Huanjun certainly knew what Zhong Wuyou meant.

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a huge whip had instantly lashed Song Zhishou's back. Song Zhishou immediately twisted and struggled, shouting, "Your Highness! Don't listen to him! Don't agree to it!"

At that moment, Zhong Wuyou immediately raised his foot and stomped hard on Song Zhishou's head. The black-clad man next to him immediately took out a rag, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Song Zhishou's mouth.

"Shut up!" Zhong Wuyou glared at Song Zhishou, then immediately put on a smiling face. He looked up at Chu Huanjun and continued, "I've long heard that Prince Yi is a peerless martial artist. I've wasted most of my life, and today I finally have the honor of meeting His Highness. It's truly a great blessing."

"You're so long-winded." Chu Huanjun glanced at Zhong Wuyou with disgust, not intending to say anything. "If you want to fight or kill, go find someone else. I don't have the time to play around with you."

"Your Highness, why are you so anxious to deal with that important matter? I'm afraid it's the shipment you seized from me, right?" Zhong Wuyou said with a wry smile. "I don't understand. Your Highness has always been so self-righteous and never liked to meddle in the affairs of us small sects. Why is he so carefree today as to interfere in the affairs of Wuyan Pavilion?"

Chu Huanjun looked at the other side indifferently, fanning the fan in his hand calmly and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Zhong Wuyou sneered: "Hmph, playing dumb?! Your Highness, please let go as soon as possible. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that these ignorant subordinates of mine will do anything outrageous to the girl next to you..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the veins on Chu Huanjun's forehead throbbed, but his face still had that calm smile.
