As Ye Shuixiang was frantically running towards Sheng'an City, Jiang Yuchuan had just finished talking with Shangguan Yulong and came out of the study.

Jiang Yuchuan had not expected that the Third Prince would want to recruit him.

Even though Shangguan Yulong showed great sincerity and offered very generous compensation during the conversation, Jiang Yuchuan still chose to refuse.

Whether in his past life or this one, power and status are dispensable to him; he will not waste his time and energy scheming and fighting for them.

Therefore, no matter how tempting the third prince's offer or how sincere his attitude, he would not agree to help him seize the throne.

Not long after returning to his room, Jiang Yuchuan heard hurried footsteps approaching him again.

This time, it was Jiang Jihai who came knocking, his face beaming with excitement.

As soon as Jiang Yuchuan opened the door, Jiang Jihai's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:

"Mr. Jiang, the people from Miaoyin Pavilion and Luoxia Sect encountered assassins from Bixuewu on their way back. Senior Lu Xuan just led his men to provide support. Would you be interested in joining me for some fun?"

Jiang Yuchuan retorted, "If you want to join in the fun, you can come along. Why did you come looking for me?"

Jiang Jihai scratched his head and said, "I would like to go with them, but that would easily expose my relationship with the Lu family and Brother Shu, which would be a complete loss. Besides, with three experts like Senior Lu, Senior Shangguan, and Senior Brother Changfeng taking action, it wouldn't make any difference whether I'm there or not." He then chuckled, "So, I invited you to come along just to watch the show, not to actually make a move."

"Watching the fun?"

Jiang Yuchuan looked at Jiang Jihai, who was nodding wildly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Just then, Lu Jingchen, who was in a hurry, appeared in their line of sight.

"Brother Chen? What brings you here?"

Jiang Jihai looked over in surprise.

"Brother Hai, Mr. Jiang."

After exchanging greetings, Lu Jingchen turned his gaze to Jiang Yuchuan and said somewhat awkwardly, "I've come to see you, sir. There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"I see!"

Before Jiang Yuchuan could answer, Jiang Jihai suddenly realized and asked, "You're worried about something going wrong, so you want to ask Mr. Jiang to secretly accompany Senior Lu and the others, right?"

Lu Jingchen nodded and said, "That's right! I always felt that the appearance of the assassins from Bixuewu was very suspicious, so I wanted to ask Mr. Jiang to secretly follow and keep an eye on them. If anything unexpected happens, I hope you can come to my rescue." He then added, "Whether anything happens or not, we won't let you come for nothing! The Lu family and the Third Prince will thank you handsomely!"

If Lu Jingchen hadn't suddenly thought of the Tianyi Sect's assassination attempt in Sheng'an City after Lu Xuan and the others left, he wouldn't have felt so uneasy and come to ask Jiang Yuchuan for help.

Because Jiang Jihai didn't know the details, he didn't think as much as Lu Jingchen did. Therefore, he felt that Lu Jingchen's actions were somewhat of an overreaction and an overreaction.

However, he did not express his thoughts, but instead observed Jiang Yuchuan's expression from the side.

With Lu Jingchen's request, he felt that the probability of Jiang Yuchuan agreeing to go with him was higher, so he secretly looked forward to it.

As he expected, after hearing Lu Jingchen's request, Jiang Yuchuan only thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"It's nothing, you don't need to be so polite. After all, I've been living comfortably in your home for quite some time now, so it's only right that I lend a hand."

"In that case, thank you very much, sir!"

Lu Jingchen looked grateful and immediately clasped his hands and bowed to Jiang Yuchuan.

It is not too late.

After waking Qi Changqing, Jiang Yuchuan immediately followed Jiang Jihai out of the city.

Qi Changqing, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, was completely bewildered. He had no idea what had happened or where Jiang Yuchuan and Jiang Jihai were rushing to take him.

Seeing Qi Changqing looking completely bewildered as Jiang Yuchuan carried him across the rooftops, Jiang Jihai couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing, he briefly explained the whole story to Qi Changqing.

Upon hearing that he was going to watch a battle between several top-tier masters, Qi Changqing's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

At the same time, a support team of twenty people, led by Lu Xuan, Shangguan Yulong, and Lu Changfeng, arrived at the edge of the forest and encountered Tang Shuwen fighting with two assassins from Bixuewu.

At this moment, Tang Shuwen was covered in wounds, with bloody knife marks all over her body.

Although the two assassins from Bixuewu were also injured, their overall condition was much better than Tang Shuwen's.

"—Senior Sister!"

Upon seeing Tang Shuwen's miserable state, Ye Shuixiang immediately burst into tears, drew her sword, and rushed forward without hesitation.

Qian Feng reacted quickly and immediately stopped Ye Shuixiang from acting impulsively and losing her composure.

Upon seeing Tang Shuwen's reinforcements arrive, the two assassins from Bixuewu immediately withdrew and prepared to escape.

Shangguan Yulong stared intently at the two red figures fleeing frantically, sneered, and vanished from the spot in a flash.

When he reappeared, he had already blocked the path of the two assassins.

Without uttering a single wasted word, Shangguan Yulong raised his hand and struck twice, instantly killing the two assassins.

Lu Xuan left four people to escort the injured Tang Shuwen and Ye Shuixiang back to Sheng'an City, and then immediately led the remaining people to continue deeper into the forest.

After about fifteen minutes, the group finally arrived at their destination and saw Yu Qiu and Du Ya's group fighting with a group of assassins from Bixuewu.

The four people currently being attacked by ten assassins are all injured.

The two attackers besieging Yu Qiu and Du Ya were both mid-stage first-rate experts.

These four were also the strongest among the ten assassins.

The four of them, working in pairs, were not only able to contend with Yu Qiu and Du Ya, both of whom were at the late stage of first-rate level, but also gradually put pressure on them through their tacit cooperation.

Of the remaining six assassins, there are three at the peak of the second tier and three at the late stage of the second tier. They are currently joining forces to besiege Zuo Cheng, who is at the early stage of the first tier, and Gu Miao, who is at the late stage of the second tier.

Exhausted and filled with despair, Zuo Cheng's pale and disheveled face suddenly brightened when he saw Lu Xuan and Shangguan Yulong appear with their men.

This feeling of relief and relief instantly gave him renewed strength. He immediately swung his longsword at the three assassins surrounding him, shouting:

"A bunch of cowardly rats hiding their heads and tails, too ashamed to show their true faces! Tonight, I will cut you all down with my sword!"
