The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

In this moment of complete silence and deep darkness, the entire city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. However, around the ancient and magnificent restaurant, several dark shadows appeared quietly like ghosts.

These shadowy figures moved swiftly and agilely, silently passing through the alleys and shadows surrounding the restaurant like ghosts in the dark night. Every movement was cautious, fearing that the slightest sound would alert any guards or other alert individuals.

Finally, they reached the wall of the restaurant. One of them leaped lightly, clinging to the wall like a gecko, and quickly climbed up. The rest of the group coordinated flawlessly, with some keeping watch while others prepared to provide support. Everything seemed perfectly organized.

Soon, the first shadowy figure successfully reached the roof of the restaurant. He crouched low, carefully observing the surroundings. After confirming it was safe, he signaled to his companions below. Immediately afterwards, the other shadowy figures also climbed up the ropes and then, together, dived towards a certain direction inside the restaurant...

Finding no one in the room, the men in black exchanged a puzzled glance. Where had they gone? Their employer had said that the mother and son were ordinary people without any spiritual powers.

Just as the men in black were wondering where the people were going, a cold and pretty voice suddenly rang out: "Are you looking for me?" Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) leaned against the door and looked at the men in black with a smile on her face. Seeing this, the men in black turned around.

Today, Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) is dressed in white, looking indescribably cool and noble.

The men in black looked at each other and then took out their weapons.

A few minutes later, several men in black fell to the ground.

The leading black-clad man stared at the girl in white with wide eyes, looking at her in disbelief. Didn't the employer say that this restaurant was home to an ordinary mother and son? How could such a powerful force exist? He couldn't tell the true level of cultivation of this girl in white.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) walked step by step towards the black-clad men in the lead, her eyes as cold as ice.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Her voice was calm without a trace of emotion, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

The man in black's lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) frowned slightly, and suddenly a thin silver needle appeared in her hand and quickly pierced into the acupuncture point of the man in black.

The man in black twitched in pain and finally said, "It's...it's the Third Princess..."

A hint of surprise flashed across Xing Xuanli's (Duanmu Li) eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I see..." she muttered to herself, "It seems I have to go and teach this Third Princess a lesson. The lesson I taught her last time wasn't enough."

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) said in a tone that was extremely cold: "You can go to hell now." After that, she swung her spiritual power towards the black-clad man in the lead. The black-clad man in the lead could not die any more.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) took out a bottle of potion from the space and dripped it on several men in black. The corpses instantly turned into a pool of blood.

After dealing with the men in black, Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) took Xiao Muhan out of the space.

When little Mu Han saw the pool of blood on the ground, his face wrinkled slightly.

He raised his little head and asked Xing Xuan (Duanmu Li) in a baby voice, "Mom, are you okay? Who are these people?"

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) squatted down and touched little Mu Han's head, and said softly, "Baby, Mommy is fine. But baby, we have to leave here!

Xiao Mu Han nodded, and the mother and son packed their things.

At the Regent's Mansion, An Yi told Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) everything that happened in the restaurant.

After hearing this, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) clenched his fists, his expression instantly darkening to the extreme. The teacup in his hand shattered into dust with a thud, and the debris fell through his fingers.

"How dare you! How dare you touch my wife and children right under my nose!" His voice was low and suppressed, as if it contained endless anger that could erupt at any time.

An Yi lowered his head, not daring to breathe, knowing that the prince's anger had reached its peak.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) paced back and forth in the room, each step tinged with deep anger and determination. "Go and find out for me who is behind this! I will make them pay a heavy price!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" An Yi responded and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) suddenly stopped An Yi, "Send more people to protect the princess and the young master. If anything goes wrong, bring your heads to me!"

An Yi was shocked and said, "I understand!" Then he quickly disappeared from the spot.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked out the window with cold and sharp eyes, and secretly swore in his heart that he would make those who hurt his wife and children regret coming into this world.

Elsewhere in the palace, the Third Princess paced anxiously in her own palace, eagerly awaiting news from the assassin. However, time passed, and there was no news.

Her expression darkened, her brow furrowed, and her anxiety grew. "It's been so long, why is there still no movement?" the Third Princess muttered to herself, her voice filled with annoyance.

Finally, she could no longer hold back and said to her personal maid, "You, go to the Killer Pavilion to find out what's going on. Come back quickly!"

The personal maid quickly agreed and left the palace in a hurry.

The third princess sat on a chair, tapping the table with her fingers, looking towards the door from time to time, hoping that her personal maid would bring back good news.

The atmosphere in the palace was depressing at this time. The palace maids and eunuchs were cautious and did not dare to make any noise, for fear of angering the third princess who was in a bad mood.

Time seemed to be extremely long, and every moment of waiting was a torment for the third princess.

In the bustling market, Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) and her son walked in the noisy streets.

The vendors' cries echoed one after another, "Fresh fruits, come and try them!" "Sweet cakes, don't miss them if you pass by!"

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) held little Mu Han's hand tightly, a warm smile on her face, and her eyes fell on the dazzling array of goods on the street from time to time.

Little Mu Han looked around excitedly, dazzled by the novel things around him.

"Mom, look, that little sugar man is so beautiful!" Little Mu Han shouted, pointing at a stall.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) looked in the direction of his finger and said with a smile: "Then let's go buy one."

The mother and son came to the stall, and little Mu Han happily chose the sugar figure he liked.

At this time, the girl selling flowers nearby shouted loudly: "Beautiful flowers, buy a bouquet for your loved one!"

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) couldn't help but stop, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

The market is bustling with people, their laughter and chatter interweaving together, creating a lively scene full of life. Amidst this hustle and bustle, Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) and her son enjoy this ordinary yet heartwarming moment.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), standing in the attic, looked past the bustling crowd and fixed his gaze on the mother and son. Seeing them so happy, his heart ached.

His eyes revealed a complex emotion: guilt, longing, and deep helplessness. Once upon a time, he also longed to be by their side at all times, sharing this ordinary yet precious happy time.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) gripped the railing tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning slightly white from the exertion. He wanted so badly to rush downstairs and hug them tightly in his arms, but the constraints of reality prevented him from doing what he wanted.

He just stood there quietly, watching their figures moving through the crowd, silently praying in his heart that they could continue to be happy like this.

A gentle breeze rustled his hair, but it couldn't dispel the sorrow in his heart. He knew that he shouldered too many responsibilities and missions, and in order to give them a stable future, he had to temporarily give up this warmth.

Until the figures of the mother and son gradually disappeared in the crowd, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) still stared in that direction for a long time. The pain in his heart became more and more intense, as if an invisible hand was pulling his heart hard.

At this time, the friend followed Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han) gaze and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) was slightly startled, and quickly looked away, looking a little lonely. He sighed softly and said, "Nothing, I just saw a familiar figure."

The friend raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "A familiar figure? Could it be that some girl has made you so distracted?"

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) shook his head and said with a wry smile: "They are my wife and children."

His friend's eyes widened in surprise. "Your wife, Duanmu Li, have you always disliked her? Don't you hate her for drugging you? Why...

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s face was filled with sadness and he said no more.

Another good friend of Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), Lin Luochuan, said: "He lost the person himself, and now he looks like a fool. I don't know what he did. After all, even if Duanmu Li doesn't practice, she is a beauty after all.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) glared at Lin Luochuan and instantly disappeared from the attic...
