Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

"The original owner of this body was harmed by Huo Jingxuan, and my father was Situ Xiaomingyang, who was executed by him for embezzlement."

Xiao Mingyang's crime has implicated his entire family, and I, as the eldest son, am the first to suffer.

In addition to gaining space, I also became bound to the system.

The system requires me to avenge the entire Xiao family and take Huo Jingxuan's place in order to return to my original life!

I discussed with Xie Jiayun that if I could kill Huo Jingxuan, he could help me take over Huo Jingxuan's throne.

Therefore, no matter what, Huo Jingxuan must die!

As she spoke, Longyue raised her hand and shot five poison needles at Huo Jingxuan, who still had a sliver of hope.

Without a second thought, Jiang Xi stepped forward to block Huo Jingxuan.

However, at this critical moment, Huo Jingxuan behind her suddenly stood up and pulled Jiang Xi away.

The five poison needles were forced to hover in front of Huo Jingxuan by his internal force, and then, propelled by his internal force, they changed direction and shot towards Longyue.

Longyue flipped over, dodging the poisoned needles, letting them hit the eucalyptus tree behind her.

Longyue stared in shock at Huo Jingxuan, who was completely unharmed: "You...you're alright?"

Impossible. The illusion he set up could not be broken unless Huo Jingxuan's blood was seen.

Before Huo Jingxuan could speak, his gaze turned to Jiang Xi beside him: "Didn't you also want to kill him? Why did you step forward just now?"

Jiang Xi herself couldn't explain why, but since Huo Jingxuan was alright at the moment, she had to express her loyalty in order to gain his trust.

"I never intended to kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Longyue gave a disdainful sneer.

"My bewitching array is called the Heart-Testing Array. It can reveal your truest thoughts."

Huo Jingxuan asked who you wanted to kill, and you've already answered. What's the point of further arguing?

Jiang Xi was surprised that Long Yue was so cunning. She felt embarrassed and ashamed and subconsciously glanced at Huo Jingxuan next to her.

So Huo Jingxuan actually knew the secrets of this formation? That's why he allowed himself to be harmed?

At the same time, Bei Yinghanchuan and Shang Que also arrived with their people.

They set up their formation, clearly intending to capture Longyue alive.

Longyue smiled dismissively, clearly not taking these people seriously.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Shang Que, who was standing nearby, noticed Huo Jingxuan's injuries and asked him about them with concern.

Huo Jingxuan raised his hand to indicate that it was alright: "Your formation is not very sophisticated. I know I've fallen into your bewitching array."

So they secretly switched the dagger on Jiang Xi beforehand. The one she used to stab me was actually folded; it only went in an inch, drawing just a little blood!

“You…” Longyue felt the same way Jiang Xi had before.

That is, as a modern person, my intelligence is being thoroughly humiliated by a group of ancient people.

But he immediately gave a disdainful laugh: "You think you can catch me like this? Wishful thinking!"

As he spoke, he raised his sleeve to disappear, but Huo Jingxuan was prepared.

With a wave of his hand, the grid formation he had just laid out with stones tightened rapidly like a cage, and the four golden lights acted like four copper and iron walls, trapping Longyue in the middle.

"You overestimate yourself, kid. Don't you know that when my senior brother was in Jade God Valley, besides practicing internal energy cultivation, he also practiced Qimen Dunjia? Otherwise, how could he have been invincible in battle?"

Shang Que revealed the secret.

Only then did Longyue, trapped in the middle of the formation, realize how utterly defeated she had been.

Jiang Xi had previously pestered Shang Que, forcing him to recount everything Huo Jingxuan had done in Jade God Valley, thus knowing Huo Jingxuan's prowess.

At this moment, she felt no sympathy for Longyue, because her own future fate might not be any better than his.

"Lock his limbs with cold iron chains, take him back to the Supervisory Department and hand him over to Jiangcheng. He'll be given a quick death the moment he confesses to Xie Zhuguo!"

Huo Jingxuan gave the order to Han Chuan.

He meant to give him a quick death, implying that Oborozuki was definitely not going to survive, but would just suffer less.

That's true. After all, Longyue's ultimate mission is to kill Huo Jingxuan. As long as he lives, even for a day, he will be a threat to Huo Jingxuan.

Given Huo Jingxuan's personality, it's impossible for him to be allowed to live any longer.

"Yes!" Han Chuan accepted the order and took Long Yue away.

Jiang Xi felt deeply insecure, yet couldn't help but worry about Huo Jingxuan's injuries.

Although the dagger didn't go in very deep, it still damaged the skin and flesh, causing some pain.

"Are you alright? Let's find an inn to get your wound bandaged up first."

Jiang Xi wanted to help Huo Jingxuan, but Huo Jingxuan stopped her by raising his hand.

"I can walk by myself!"

Seeing this, Shang Que had no choice but to step forward and support Huo Jingxuan. Jiang Xi knew he was angry with her, so she could only follow closely behind him.

In the inn's private room, Huo Jingxuan took off his outer robe, revealing his muscular upper body, and let Shang Que disinfect and apply medicine to him.

If the wound is on the chest with the skin and flesh turned outwards, you should first wipe away the surrounding bloodstains with clean gauze before applying medicine to stop the bleeding.

"Xiao Qi, fetch some water for your master!" Shang Que instructed Jiang Xi.

"Oh, oh!" Jiang Xi responded and hurriedly went out, returning shortly with a basin of clear, warm water.

"I'm heavy-handed, you wipe him instead!" Shang Que stepped aside, deliberately creating an opportunity for Jiang Xi.

"Oh, oh!" Jiang Xi responded, put the water on the table, wrung out the towel, and went to help Huo Jingxuan wipe the blood around his wound.

"No need, I can do it myself!" Huo Jingxuan refused coldly, and snatched the handkerchief from Jiang Xi's hand, pressing it against his chest.

"hiss!"

I don’t know where he pressed, but the pain made him let out a soft hiss.

Jiang Xi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she quickly snatched the handkerchief from his hand, saying, "Let me do it!"

As he spoke, he began to wipe it carefully.

Huo Jingxuan had no choice but to let her have her way, but his expression remained cold.

After Jiang Xi finished wiping him, she threw the towel into the basin and then turned to Shang Que and said, "Master, that's enough!"

Shang Que nodded and took over the rest of the tasks.

Jiang Xi then took the basin of water and went out to empty it.

No sooner had Jiang Xi left than Shang Que, while applying medicine to Huo Jingxuan, asked seemingly casually, "You really don't plan to forgive Xiao Qi?"

Huo Jingxuan snorted but didn't say anything.

Shang Que continued to mutter to himself, "Actually, you can't blame Xiao Qi for this. You knew she and her brother depended on each other for survival, yet you still set fire to their house and burned them to death. If I were in your shoes, I would have wanted to kill you too!"

Huo Jingxuan rolled his eyes: "I didn't start the fire!"

Shang Que was taken aback: "What?"

Huo Jingxuan explained expressionlessly, "It was Jiang Zun who released him. He wanted to take Jiang Ji away because he was afraid that if Jiang Ji lived, he would become a stumbling block on Jiang Gu's path to the throne!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Que was shocked: "How can there be such a biased father in the world? Why didn't you explain it to Xiao Qi?"
