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

After staying here for a few days, Xie Mingzhu finally saw Luo Hanfeng.

At that time, Luo Hanfeng followed behind the man in black robes. He was dressed in black, which outlined his figure. His black hair was tied up high, and his eyes were downcast. He looked like a disappointed and gloomy young man.

Xie Mingzhu saw Luo Hanfeng, stood up, and walked towards him.

"Hanfeng!"

Xie Mingzhu's eyes were filled with tears. She opened her arms as if to hug Luo Hanfeng, but the man in black robes stopped her with his hand.

"Princess, please have some self-respect."

Xie Mingzhu froze and looked at the man in black robes.

"My disciple has just recovered from the poison in his body and is currently very vulnerable. I urge the princess to stay away from my disciple and not to harm him."

Upon hearing these words, tears immediately welled up in Xie Mingzhu's eyes.

She bit her lip, looking helplessly at Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng revealed a pale and fragile face, gave Xie Mingzhu a weak smile, and said, "Mingzhu, don't cry."

After saying that, he made no further comment.

Luo Hanfeng had just crawled out of the Gu pool, and the pain from the insect bites on his body had not yet subsided. At this moment, his body was extremely fragile, and even the slightest touch would make him tremble all over in pain.

Where did I get the mood to be perfunctory with Xie Mingzhu?

Seeing Luo Hanfeng's appearance, Xie Mingzhu gave up her thoughts.

"Thank you, Princess, for bringing my disciple back. It was fortunate that I happened to be here. Otherwise, if my disciple had died from the poison, I don't know how long I would have been heartbroken."

The man in the black robe pretended to wipe away non-existent tears from the corner of his eye.

"After all, Luo Hanfeng was personally trained by me."

"The best seedlings are those raised from a young age."

His voice was somber, and although he spoke words of sympathy for Luo Hanfeng, they sent chills down one's spine.

“Princess, this gentleman is someone we found to help us restore our kingdom. Since he is the Seventh Prince’s teacher, that’s perfect.”

Lai Xiao said with a smile.

With the man in black robes by his side, he felt somewhat relieved about Luo Hanfeng.

Lai Xiao glanced at Luo Hanfeng, then said, "Now that the Fifth Prince of the Southern Kingdom has been driven out of this city, it is not convenient to stay here for long."

Luo Hanfeng moved his dry lips and said, "Leave here immediately."

Lai Xiao paused for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Hanfeng: "Seventh Prince, what makes you say this? Is it because you have some news?"

Grand Tutor Gu added, "Although we had already planned to retreat, the retreat will take three days; we can't leave immediately."

"Does my disciple know anything?"

The man in the black robe slowly turned his gaze toward Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng slightly tugged at his lips.

There is a variable: Xie Xing is here. Xie Xing's original purpose in coming here was to rescue Xie Tongchen. It's hard to guarantee that the location of these people won't be exposed after the two meet.

When Xie Tongchen sends troops to arrest them, they'll wipe them all out, and there will be no future for the restoration of the kingdom.

Luo Hanfeng's voice was hoarse, "They already had clues about you, and now that they've taken over the city, the first thing they'll do is naturally come looking for you."

"If you don't believe me, then stay here."

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Gu's expression changed drastically.

He quickly called out to the people around him, "Quick! Pack your things and retreat now!"

Little did they know, Xie Yuze had already led his men to approach them.

Although Xie Yuze followed the emperor's orders and came out with Jun Lanjin, he was still officially imprisoned in the Xie family.

To appear so blatantly before the army was far too arrogant.

When Jun Lanjin and Xie Yuze arrived, it was not just the two of them.

Jun Lanjin's men searched the city until they found clues about these people and, following the trail, found their hideout.

At that time, outside the courtyard.

Xie Yuze coldly looked at the dilapidated courtyard, waved his hand, and said, "Go, arrest everyone inside, leave no one alive!"

"Not good! Not good!"

Inside the house, Lai Xiao noticed the commotion outside and immediately went back inside to inform them.

"Someone is coming!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed drastically.

They all stared at Luo Hanfeng in shock.

How did this person know?

It's like whatever I say comes true.

The man in the black robe was the first to escape. He lightly touched the rooftop with his toes and ran out.

The remaining people scattered and started running.

Fortunately, they managed to open a secret passage to escape in case anyone came to capture them.

"Princess! Come with us quickly!"

Lai Xiao grabbed Xie Mingzhu's wrist and pulled her into the secret passage.

Luo Hanfeng followed.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Yuze and his men broke down the courtyard gate, and his subordinates quickly ran into the courtyard to capture everyone inside.

Xie Yuze seemed to have discovered something and led his men straight towards the entrance of the secret passage.

He arrived just in time, just as these people were about to enter the secret passage.

The two sides exchanged countless glances.

Xie Mingzhu stared wide-eyed at Xie Yuze in disbelief, her lips trembling, "Third...Third Brother?"

How is he still alive?!

Xie Mingzhu clearly inserted the hairpin into his chest with her own hands, and even checked to see if he was dead.

How could someone who is already dead appear in front of her?

This must be a dream!

Xie Mingzhu closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again to see Xie Yuze's face.

This was the first time Xie Yuze had seen Xie Mingzhu since his rebirth.

Upon seeing this face, Xie Yuze was reminded of Xie Mingzhu's selfish and ugly face from his previous life.

"Who is your third brother?" Xie Yuze asked coldly, scoffing, "You're surprised to see me here, aren't you, Xie Mingzhu?"

"This time, I'm going to kill you with my own hands!"

These words struck Xie Mingzhu like a thunderbolt.

She only felt a buzzing sound, which made her dizzy and unable to believe her ears.

He actually wanted to kill her?!

Xie Mingzhu felt indescribably sad.

Even when they met before, Xie Yuze's eyes showed no murderous intent, only anger, doubt, and accusation.

But this time it's different...

This time, Xie Yuze looked into her eyes, which were filled with murderous intent, a look of wanting to kill her as soon as possible.

Xie Mingzhu found it hard to accept.

Although she was the one who attacked Xie Yuze first, it was a mistake on her part!

She had no intention of killing Xie Yuze beforehand.

Why…

Why are you looking at her like that!

"Princess! Hurry up!" Lai Xiao grabbed Xie Mingzhu from the side and tried to shove her into the secret passage.

"None of you will leave here today!"

Xie Yuze roared, "Men, arrest them all! She—"

Xie Yuze pointed a finger directly at Xie Mingzhu: "Whether she lives or dies!"

Not content with just words, he directly drew his bow and aimed an arrow at the direction Xie Mingzhu was fleeing.
