The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

"Brother Gu accidentally inhaled the tranquilizing incense..."

Zhang Daoxu lowered his head and touched his nose, saying cryptically:

"My brother is just an ordinary person now. Forcibly waking him up would probably leave sequelae."

"It's better to wait until he wakes up naturally."

In his previous life, Xiao Jianxin was a man who had seen the world. Things like calming sandalwood, which were common and available in large quantities, were extremely familiar to him.

Sometimes he would even light a little to relieve stress when he had trouble falling asleep at night.

But...are there any side effects after using the calming sandalwood specially supplied to the royal family?

How come he, the second prince of Yuezhi, didn’t know this?

Xiao Jianxin had a strange look on his face, but he did not insist on waking up Gu Junming.

After all, the seniors from Longhu Mountain and Her Royal Highness the Princess said so.

Can he still refuse to give these two people face?

"I don't mind, but Senior, I have found some clues."

"Time is running out. If we fail to respond before disaster strikes, it will be too late."

In the end, Xiao Jianxin decided to give it a try.

"Well, aren't all the thirteen princesses here?"

Zhang Daoxu tried to change the subject: "She used to be in the underworld with Little Dragon Emperor. If you have any questions or don't understand something, you can ask her for advice."

"What do you mean by 'having been in the underworld'? That's called 'making your way around the world', okay..."

Ji Qianrou felt a little embarrassed, thinking that people from the Central Plains spoke in a down-to-earth way. It was nothing more than the "barbarians" of Nanwu affectionately calling them "ground rats"!

Xiao Jianxin frowned and thought about it, and felt that this was also the case. However, before starting, he carefully tested it:

"Your Highness, is the little princess...really your eldest brother's biological daughter?"

"...Could it be yours?"

Ji Qianrou rolled her eyes and gave him a speechless and annoyed look.

Is this human language?

The Crown Princess gave birth to a daughter after ten months of pregnancy, and she was personally appointed Princess Yongning by the Emperor. Who in the world would have the guts and courage to poach the Crown Prince?

The nine clans don’t want it anymore!

"Uh......"

Xiao Jianxin had something hidden in his heart that he didn't dare to say out loud.

He felt a sense of familiarity with the little princess from the first moment he saw her. It was a resonance between blood and soul.

If Ji Xiaqing is truly a descendant of the last generation of the Moon Emperor, they are of the same lineage, and blood is thicker than water...

It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is his child.

"Well, alright then, I'll try to be brief."

Xiao Jianxin obviously overestimated his ability to express himself in words. The long story he told was a short one, starting from the moment he met the Imperial Master.

Apart from deliberately concealing the true life story of the little princess, Xiao Jianxin went from being a bodyguard to going to Pinglan Manor to catch monsters, and then to the assassin's night attack...

Finally, Zuo Duo turned against them and kidnapped the princess.

Accurate down to every detail.

He talked incessantly until the afternoon.

Xiao Jianxin paused for a short while, but only drank some water to moisten his throat.

Afterwards, he brought them all the way from Liuyun Township and his own speculation about the person behind the scenes.

And the series of things that happened after arriving in Wujiang and sneaking into the imperial city...

I’ve told you everything!

Zhang Daoxu tilted his head back with his mouth wide open, and had already fallen asleep.

Ji Qianrou held her chin with her palm, tried to lift her eyelids, and forced herself to stay awake, but her head was still like a fishing rod, fishing again and again, drowsy...

"I saw the Imperial Master appear at the Imperial Master's Mansion. I suspect he was also involved in this plot!"

Xiao Jianxin said with a solemn expression, tirelessly.

In fact, when Xiao Jianxin was praised as the leader of the righteous path in his previous life, he was far less talkative than he is now.

Even cruel, even more ruthless than Yan Chichun who became a giant in the magic world!

The moon sets without a trace, and the sky is filled with frost;

Hate evil with hatred, only wanting to kill and never save! This is the world's true evaluation of the "Traceless Sword Immortal".

But until the end of life.

Xiao Jianxin then realized that he had been a puppet at the mercy of others from the beginning to the end.

The so-called righteous leader has always been a hypocritical title and no one recognizes it.

In the past, some people had advised him that everything he saw was an illusion, and hoped that he could return to himself and cut his losses in time.

But Xiao Jianxin just wouldn't listen.

He was drunk with false honor.

Taking advantage of others' charity, he neglected his relatives and friends, acted pretentiously, and bullied others...

As a result, he ended up being deserted by everyone.

What is lost can never be regained.

As a result, after living a new life, Xiao Jianxin has become more concerned about the people around him in the pursuit of his ideals.

It was precisely this transformation that made a sword-loving person with a cold nature understand what "human feelings" meant.

In his previous life, he was a man of few words and disdained to associate with others. He felt that he could save the world by himself.

I suddenly woke up in this life and re-examined myself.

But I still feel that as long as I work hard and put my heart into it, I will be recognized by people one day and protect the people of the world!

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Xiao Jianxin stretched out his hand and waved in front of Ji Qianrou, "Are you listening to me?"

"What's the matter?"

Ji Qianrou suddenly shuddered, rubbing her eyes and replied, "Ah... Of course there is. Then, after you met with the Imperial Master, what did he ask you to do?"

Xiao Jianxin said seriously: "Hire me to be the little princess's bodyguard!"

"No, no, no..."

Ji Qiantou raised his hand to signal Xiao Jianxin to wait.

She lowered her head and pinched her brows, racking her brains, trying to recall Xiao Jianxin's words and integrate them. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she asked:

"You mean the Imperial Master asked you to be Xia Qing's bodyguard, but then Zuo Duo turned against you and kidnapped Xia Qing."

"And Zuo Duo is the Imperial Master's man, and you saw the Imperial Master in the Imperial Master's residence, right?"

"Exactly! Exactly, Your Highness!"

Xiao Jianxin immediately looked overjoyed, feeling as if he had finally met a close friend after living for so many years.

Ji Qianrou leaned back, looking hopeless, and said weakly:

"Brother, can I call you brother?"

"In the time it takes to say one sentence, you tirelessly talked for hours..."

"How dare you say time is of the essence?"

Xiao Jianxin couldn't help but frown and fell into a brief moment of self-doubt.

He counted on his fingers and asked uncertainly, "Have I really been talking for a long time?"

"You're even more talkative than Brother Gu..."

"I recognize your strength!" Ji Qianrou gave a thumbs up in admiration and said seriously:

"It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have doubted you. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. You really are Brother Gu's junior apprentice..."

"the student surpasses the master!"

"Hey, hey, hey... Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

Xiao Jianxin touched his nose awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed by the compliments.

"Do you really think I'm praising you?"

"Uh...isn't it?"
