After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Jun Lanjin looked at her with a smile, "Xie Wu, you don't think that just because you can exchange a few words with me, I will help you, do you?"

His words were blunt and hurtful.

Junlan wanted to see Xie Xing's reaction.

However, she appeared normal, with no resentment or hurt on her face.

Even the innermost thoughts are quiet.

She raised her eyes and smiled, "Your Highness is a good man. He's willing to listen to my nonsense here, so he must have something to gain. I am of use to Your Highness, aren't I?"

Jun Lanjin paused for a moment.

Only then did he begin to re-examine Xie Xing.

She actually knew?

She was smarter than he had imagined.

Seeing Jun Lanjin's expression shift slightly, Xie Xing clasped her hands together again, her watery eyes pleading as she looked at Jun Lanjin: "Please, please."

"I'll make a deal with the prince."

"If Your Highness saves me, my life is for Your Highness!"

Xie Xing spoke with absolute certainty.

Her words carried such weight that even the system internally questioned her: "Do you know what you're saying?"

Xie Xing also replied: 【I was just kidding him.】

Jun Lanjin: "..."

People do laugh out loud when they are extremely angry.

At least Jun Lanjin smiled for now.

Xie Xing saw him smile and smiled too.

I thought he would agree.

As a result, Jun Lanjin quickly stopped smiling and decisively refused: "I won't help."

With that said, he turned and left.

Xie Xing: "..."

She paused for a moment, stunned.

Wait, that's not how the story goes!

She had clearly sensed that Jun Lanjin was moved and was about to agree to her request.

Xie Xing was now truly anxious.

She quickly jogged after Jun Lanjin.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Suddenly, a long sword attacked Jun Lanjin from the side.

Xie Xing saw this, gritted his teeth and sped up a bit. Just as he placed his hands on Jun Lanjin's shoulders, intending to push him away, he saw Jun Lanjin suddenly turn around.

Long, slender, white fingers gripped her wrist, lifting her into the air, her pink skirt fluttering in the wind.

Jun Lanjin used a bit of force, pulling Xie Xing's hand to the side, and then raised his right foot to kick the black-clad man who was stabbing at him.

The man in black was kicked away.

Xie Xing was pulled into Jun Lanjin's arms, who held her waist and with a light touch, leaped gracefully onto the roof beam.

Xie Xing gripped the sleeve of Jun Lanjin's clothes tightly.

The icy palms pierced through Xie Xing's skin at his waist, sending a chill through his body, causing him to involuntarily shrink back.

Jun Lanjin's expression changed slightly. He put one arm around the person and looked down at the men in black below.

These men in black came specifically for him.

Seeing that their first attack had failed, they quickly dispersed and charged towards Jun Lanjin again.

It's a killing move.

"Somebody come!"

"He's become an assassin!"

Soon, angry roars could be heard from inside the cabin.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of swords clashing rang out.

Xie Xing was stunned. Wasn't it said that assassins wouldn't get into the cabin?

Where did these people come from?

Jun Lanjin had no intention of fighting these people, so he grabbed them and ran off to another location.

Xie Xing stayed quietly in Jun Lanjin's arms without saying a word.

……

the other side.

Xie Mingzhu and Lai Xiao hid in and out of the cabin, eventually finally taking refuge inside.

Lai Xiao knocked out a dancer named Chun Tao and made Xie Mingzhu change into the dancer's clothes. He whispered, "Princess, your identity cannot be discovered. We don't know if these people are here to target us. Please wear the dancer's clothes for now."

"I will take you away after everything has calmed down. Today is not the time to meet."

Xie Mingzhu had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood. The only time she was in danger was when she was chased and killed by these people at the autumn hunting grounds.

Now that this has happened again, I'm already pale with fright and deeply regret coming out with you.

At this moment, she naturally agreed to whatever Lai Xiao said.

As a daughter of a general's family, if she were discovered to be associating with remnants of the previous dynasty, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So Xie Mingzhu took the clothes and went to change.

But as soon as she changed her clothes and came out, she encountered a drunken rich young man.

The young man, swaying unsteadily, saw Xie Mingzhu walking by in a dancer's costume, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"A beauty?!"

The wealthy young man immediately stepped forward and embraced Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu immediately burst into a scream.

"Let me go!"

She struggled desperately.

But Lai Xiao, who was on the other side, did not hear Xie Mingzhu's cry. Xie Mingzhu was pushed into the room by the rich young master.

Inside the room, the wealthy young master, in a great hurry, began to pull off his clothes and rushed towards Xie Mingzhu like a wolf.

Xie Mingzhu was so frightened that she lost her mind and immediately grabbed a vase from the table and smashed it heavily against the rich young man.

"bump!"

A vase fell on the head of a rich young man.

The rich young master immediately saw stars and collapsed in two moments.

Xie Mingzhu, panting and trembling, walked towards that direction.

But then they saw blood gushing from the rich young man's head.

Xie Mingzhu's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Could she have killed someone?

Xie Mingzhu's heart pounded like a drum. She frantically opened the door to escape, but at that moment, a body reeking of blood splattered at her.

Xie Mingzhu was stunned for a moment.

Pushing the person aside, I saw Luo Hanfeng?

Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin were being relentlessly pursued inside the cabin.

Fortunately, there were many guards inside the cabin, and the men in black were restrained by the guards, so they were not able to catch up very quickly.

Xie Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Nestled in Jun Lanjin's arms, she looked up and said, "Your Highness, tonight will likely be a sleepless night."

"There seem to be people outside the cabin as well."

Junlan adheres to the natural way.

These people are not the same group.

He originally thought the men in black on the deck were the group he was chasing.

In the end, it turned out that the group wasn't the right one.

With his subordinates already searching, Jun Lanjin decided to wait quietly in the cabin for news.

But he never expected that there were assassins here to kill him.

[Everyone has their own agenda in choosing the most beautiful courtesan.] The system said slowly:

The men in black who emerged from the water on the deck were the ones chasing Luo Hanfeng. There were also some other men in black who appeared out of nowhere; they were likely from the recently infamous Ghost Palace.

Jun Lanjin's fingertips trembled slightly when he heard the name Ghost Palace.

His eyes darkened slightly.

This thing knows everything. Could it also know that he is the master of the Ghost Palace?

【Ghost Palace?】 Xie Xing blinked blankly.

[The male protagonist has a Yama's Palace in the martial arts world, and its counterpart is the Ghost Palace.] The system said, [It's said that the Ghost King's whereabouts are unpredictable, and every time he appears, he's opposing Luo Hanfeng. Even at the end, we still don't know who he is.]

Could the Ghost Palace's appearance this time be to hunt down Luo Hanfeng?

It's not something we know everything about.

Junlan was relieved.

However, he really didn't expect Luo Hanfeng to be here as well.

If that's the case—

You could also kill him while you're at it.
