I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

"Get out of the way! Where's my wine? Who took my wine?! I still want to beat her!"

The fat man mumbled incoherently as he was carried out of the cave, constantly talking about the unfinished match.

When he was pushed in front of the one-eyed man, he couldn't hold it in and vomited all over the ground.

The one-eyed man remained frozen in place, wary, ignoring the filth scattered on the ground.

The next moment, another howl tore through the air, the sound growing ever closer.

Zhu Luo recognized it clearly; it was the sound of an iron arrow, identical to the sound of an attack on a carriage.

"Get down!" Cang Xu shouted, protecting Xiao Mingyan.

Zhu Luo pulled Banxia down to squat.

"Third Master, don't stop me..." Before the fat man could finish his last word, he was headbutted by One-Eyed Dragon.

The arrow struck him squarely in the heart.

The thugs screamed in terror, "Assassins!"

The blood didn't spurt out immediately after it hit his heart, so the fat man sobered up considerably and stared blankly at the iron arrow piercing his chest.

"Third Master, I... haven't... won yet..."

Before he could finish speaking, his massive body crashed to the ground, blood staining the withered grass red from the corner of his lips.

There was terror all around.

The one-eyed man was panting heavily, muttering to himself, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

Zhu Luo and Ban Xia were blocked by the soldiers and did not see the scene, but they could fully imagine what had happened.

The leaves rustled in the air, startling the birds that were perched there, causing them to scatter in all directions.

It felt as if a net was rapidly closing in on the air.

Xiao Mingyan shook off his robes and calmly rebuked, "His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. Have you forgotten your manners?"

Prince?

Zhu Luo was taken aback.

Is Xiao Jingchi here?

The soldiers held their breath and bowed deeply.

Two rows of imperial guards emerged from the dark woods, forming a circle and surrounding the cave entrance.

Xiao Jingchi, who was in the lead, slowly approached, his laughter preceding everyone else: "As expected, Third Brother's ears are the best; he's always the first to recognize me."

"Brother is too kind," Xiao Mingyan said respectfully, bowing.

The two brothers met and exchanged pleasantries.

The one-eyed man trembled violently, his helpless gaze sweeping around in the air before finally settling on Zhu Luo.

“Miss…Miss…Xuanming…”

The soldiers behind him tightened their restraints on him, and he stamped his feet in frustration.

Fortunately, Zhu Luo heard it and, ignoring Ban Xia's attempts to stop her, quietly moved closer.

“Tell me, what do you know?”

"I don't want to die, girl, save me! I know about the chief and the Xuanming Sword..."

In an instant, a metallic glint descended from the sky, followed by the sound of flesh being ripped open, and a spurt of thick blood gushed out, splattering around Zhu Luo's cheek.

The one-eyed man stared wide-eyed, the light in his eye gradually fading, and blood gushed down his neck.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

"Miss!" Banxia rushed over like a madwoman as she realized what was happening.

Zhu Luo touched the blood on her cheek in a daze, and when she looked around, the one-eyed dragon was gone.

"Your Highness?"

Xiao Jingyan appeared beside her at some point, looking at her with gentle eyes: "Luo Luo, what are you doing here? It was my carelessness that startled you."

Before she could reply, he frowned and sternly ordered the guards, "Hurry up and drag away this harmful thing!"

The guards sheathed their swords and dragged away the one-eyed man, who was now dead.

The remaining bandits behind him were in a panic, shouting "Your Highness, spare us! Your Highness, spare us!" but the guards gagged them all.

Zhu Luo recovered his strength, took a few steps back, and bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Your Highness."

The amount of information she received in that instant was enormous; her current submissiveness was not out of fear of this man who resembled Ji Yang.

She no longer had a headache when she saw him.

It is the Xuanming Sword.

The head of the gang, Tieshan, inquired about the Xuanming Sword from the cook and spy.

The third leader, One-Eyed Dragon, also mentioned the sword, even believing that after revealing the information to him, she could save his life.

Both people who knew the truth were killed, and by the brothers in front of them.

Moreover, when the guards of the Eastern Palace committed murder, Xiao Mingyan's men remained completely still.

This matter is strange and beyond her current capabilities.

Xiao Mingyan's eyebrows curved, but his jade-like face gave off a sinister feeling: "I'm relieved that Luo Luo is alright. Guards!"

The guard stepped forward.

"Take Miss Shen to my car to rest."

"Yes!"

Zhu Luo was startled.

She cannot go with him.

Not to mention that this person has Ji Yang's face, she felt like vomiting just looking at him.

If she gets close to the Crown Prince during the talent show, the situation will become more complicated.

"No, no need." She forced a smile. "My daughter can go down the mountain on her own."

"You?" Xiao Jingchi raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "This is the bandit stronghold of Iron Wolf Village. Who knows how many villains it harbors? How could I bear to let you go down the mountain alone?"

He was right, and Zhu Luo didn't intend to leave alone.

In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, she wasn't some extreme challenger; she valued her life.

Xiao Mingyan, stop standing there and say something!

The mirror trembled and emitted a dim light.

Cang Xu suddenly exclaimed, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Zhu Luo's pupils trembled. Xiao Mingyan, who had been standing there like a stick, suddenly clutched his stomach and bent over, looking as if he was in great pain.

"It's nothing, it's an old injury." Xiao Mingyan steadied himself by clinging to Cang Xu's hand, his body trembling with pain.

Xiao Jingchi frowned and stepped forward to take his hand: "Third brother, is your old injury still not healed?"

"It still hurts, ouch... Brother, I'm leaving things here to you, I can't take it anymore."

After saying that, he leaned unsteadily against Xiao Jingchi.

"Hurry back to the car. Third brother, you're injured, why are you recklessly running into the mountains? Do you still think I'm your eldest brother?"

"How dare I, how dare I, hiss..." Cang Xu took the hand, and Xiao Mingyan shouted even louder.

Banxia whispered, "Miss, wasn't the Prince perfectly fine just now?"

Zhu Luo shook her head; she also felt something was amiss.

Cang Xu said, "Your Highness, the Prince's injuries are so severe that he may not be able to hold on until he can descend the mountain. We must ask the divine physician to treat him as soon as possible."

Xiao Jingchi was taken aback: "Divine doctor? What divine doctor is here?"

Zhu Luo had a sudden inspiration and quickly raised her hand: "It's me."

"You?" Xiao Jingchi looked at her suspiciously.

Zhu Luo had already organized her thoughts: "Your Highness, do you remember that my maternal grandmother, Yao, was a renowned physician? Calling me a divine physician would be an exaggeration, but I am well aware of the prince's injuries. Please grant me permission, Your Highness."
