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

Emperor Chu was shocked and turned to look at the cliff. He saw Luo Hanfeng, Jun Lanjin, and Xie Xing fall off the cliff together.

The Chu Emperor's expression changed drastically: "Zhiheng! Seventh Prince!"

Xie Yuze was also stunned.

Almost the instant he realized Xie Xing had fallen, he was about to jump down after her.

Fortunately, Xie Tongchen stopped him.

"Brother! She fell!" Xie Yuze's eyes were bloodshot as he turned and shouted at Xie Tongchen.

Xie Xing fell because of him!

If Xie Xing hadn't grabbed him at that crucial moment, he would have been the one to fall!

"Calm down!" Xie Tongchen's expression turned slightly somber.

The instant Jun Lanjin fell, several of his Blood Fiend Guards had already jumped down.

But at such a high cliff, a person falling off would certainly die.

Xie Tongchen's feelings were complicated, and his gaze towards the bottom of the cliff was dark and gloomy.

Xie Xing...will she still be alive?

She has such special abilities, perhaps she is a prodigy who can survive on her own?

Xie Tongchen is just deceiving himself.

After spending the past two days together, there is no doubt that Xie Xing is a woman who is completely helpless.

"Second brother." Xie Mingzhu was still terrified. The moment she was pulled up, her bare shoulders revealed a bright birthmark on one of them, which was seen by the attacking assassin.

Xie Yuze saw it too.

His pupils contracted sharply, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched his sleeves.

Mingzhu...is Mingzhu really a princess from the previous dynasty?

In that instant, Xie Yuze felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The so-called plot in Xie Xing's mind was unfolding little by little, and even some things happened that Xie Xing had not expected, which could only be described as worse than originally thought.

Xie Yuze was in a complete mess.

He couldn't help but think that if Xie Xing hadn't grabbed him, he would have been the one dragged down by Mingzhu.

Xie Tongchen immediately took off his clothes and draped them over Xie Mingzhu, then pulled her into his arms and gently coaxed her, "It's alright, it's alright."

Xie Mingzhu, tears streaming down her face, looked down the cliff, her eyes blurred with sobs: "Brother, sister... sister fell down, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Xie Tongchen felt extremely distressed.

He hugged Xie Mingzhu and coaxed her, "It's alright, it has nothing to do with you, it's her fate."

"Your brother won't let you get hurt."

Feeling Xie Tongchen's wholehearted affection, Xie Mingzhu's previously uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.

Could Xie Xing be dead after falling off the cliff?

If she dies, will she be the only young lady left in the General's Mansion?

She is once again the apple of the family's eye.

Although Xie Mingzhu was still pampered by the Xie family while Xie Xing was alive, Xie Xing's existence was a constant reminder that she was not the General's biological daughter.

She stole this identity.

Now that Xie Xing has fallen, everything can be restored to normal.

Xie Yuze felt that Xie Tongchen's words were a bit excessive.

He did indeed like Xie Mingzhu, and he truly treated her like his own younger sister. He even disliked Xie Xing because of Xie Mingzhu.

But that doesn't mean he could just stand by and watch his own sister die, let alone die for him.

Xie Tongchen's words were far too much.

Xie Yuze hadn't thought much of it before, but now, seeing his second brother like this, even he couldn't help but say, "Second brother, what you're saying is a bit too much. Xie Xing is your own sister."

Xie Tongchen pursed his lips.

"Xie Xing won't die," he said confidently.

Xie Mingzhu lifted her head from Xie Tongchen's chest, looking at Xie Yuze with teary eyes: "Third brother, do you blame me?"

Xie Yuze's angry expression froze.

He didn't blame Xie Mingzhu.

But now is not the time to talk about these things.

He didn't speak, but turned to look at the bottom of the cliff.

Several Blood Fiend Guards jumped down, using their daggers to scrape the wall for cushioning as they quickly headed towards Jun Lanjin and Xie Xing.

Luo Hanfeng naturally saw the Blood Fiend Guards as well. During his descent, he glanced at Xie Xing, who was falling rapidly, frowned, channeled some of his inner energy, and sped up to head towards Xie Xing.

Over there, the Blood Fiend Guards quickly forced the remaining forces back.

Reinforcements arrived, and a large number of guards surrounded the people.

The Chu Emperor roared, "Go and bring them back! I want to see them alive!"

bottom of the cliff.

Jun Lanjin was closest to Xie Xing. He reached out and pulled Xie Xing into his arms. Just before they hit the ground, a dagger flashed from his sleeve and embedded itself in the rock wall.

Jun Lanjin embraced Xie Xing, used his lightness skill to step onto the dagger, and used the momentum to rise upwards. He then lightly stepped on the rock wall and landed safely.

"Ugh!" Jun Lanjin groaned.

He landed on his back, and Xie Xing was completely in his arms until they both fell to the ground. Only then did Xie Xing suddenly lift her head from his arms.

Jun Lanjin's handsome eyebrows furrowed, and he looked as if he were about to break apart.

"Your Majesty!"

Xie Xing was shocked. He immediately scrambled off him, sat on the ground, and placed him on his lap.

"Cough cough."

Jun Lanjin coughed twice, the spilled blood staining his pale lips red, which ironically made them appear somewhat striking. His long eyelashes trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"Stay here as a secret guard."

After saying this, Jun Lanjin fainted.

Xie Xing was extremely flustered.

She never expected that at this critical moment, it would be the seriously injured Jun Lanjin who would save her life.

She looked up.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the Blood Fiend Guards were flying down the cliff with remarkable ease, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

Xie Xing's eyes, which were originally brimming with tears, paused for a moment, and her gaze became somewhat vacant.

I almost thought I was about to embark on a cliffside survival adventure, but nothing happened at all.

She couldn't help but mentally complain to the system: "That's a cliff! How could they just jump down like that to save someone?"

The system remained remarkably calm: "Otherwise, what do you think the villain's Blood Fiend Guards are? They're all assassins trained by forces within the martial arts world that specialize in training killers."

[They are suicide soldiers.]

Xie Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Then she doesn't need to rush; she can just wait here.

"Thank you, Xing."

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from beside me.

Xie Xing looked up and saw Luo Hanfeng.

She paused for a moment, then couldn't help asking, "Why did you come down?"

Luo Hanfeng glanced at Jun Lanjin, who was lying weakly in Xie Xing's arms, and said, "He was knocked down."

Xie Xingcai didn't believe him.

She gave a curt "oh" and ignored Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng approached with a smile and said, "Prince Jin's injuries are quite serious. With the Frost Palm technique and internal injuries, he will die if this drags on any longer."

Xie Xing held Jun Lanjin's head and glanced warily at Luo Hanfeng: "You're the one who's going to die."

[He has ill intentions.]

Luo Hanfeng's smile faltered slightly.

Soon, guards came down from there.

Xie Xing immediately stepped aside, allowing the Blood Fiend Guards to help Jun Lanjin up.

The guard took the prince's pulse, and his expression suddenly turned serious: "The prince's internal injuries are severe and cannot be delayed. We must find a renowned physician!"
