In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

Looking at this young woman, who showed no fear of the Second Prince of the Dynasty and appeared calm and composed, Si Lili couldn't help but begin to doubt her own identity.

In fact, Tao Jingyang is still a person without a definite identity.

After all, it's too difficult to fake something under Emperor Qing's nose. So, Tao Jingyang is now a "vagrant" who has lost all his memories.

They've truly become refugees, they're truly imprisoned.

Seeing that the two had entered the room and neither of them spoke, Si Lili silently brewed her own tea.

The second prince remained silent as usual, not looking at anyone. It was also rumored that the second prince never frequented brothels, so his aloofness was not surprising.

However... this girl's eyes were burning, staring intently at Si Lili's tea-making movements.

Si Lili:......

Soon, the first cup of tea was ready. Si Lili intended to hand the first cup to Li Chengze, but as soon as she reached out her hand holding the teacup, Li Chengze said, "Give this cup to her first."

The latter replied with lightning speed, "Thank you, Your Highness."

[Is she afraid I'll poison her? But this girl accepted it way too quickly...] Si Lili couldn't help but be suspicious, but she still forwarded it.

After Tao Jingyang finished his tea, Si Lili heard her praise:

"Miss Si Lili brews excellent tea. The tea is rich in aroma and has a graceful, lingering taste. It is truly remarkable."

But before Si Lili could reply with her thanks, Tao Jingyang turned to the Second Prince and asked, "Your Highness, why hasn't that Young Master Fan you invited arrived yet?"

Li Chengze understood immediately, picked up the second cup of tea handed to him, and said, "Perhaps there was a delay."

"Really? Then I'll go out and take a look." He left without lingering.

Si Lili listened intently to their conversation, but in her heart she was thinking:

When would be the best time to escape back to Northern Qi...?

Niulan Street.

By the time Tao Jingyang reached the vicinity of Niulan Street, he had already heard about what had happened there.

To avoid attracting attention and preserve her strength, she suppressed her martial prowess to a level between the fifth and sixth rank in advance.

The crowd was in an uproar, and many people scattered and fled.

Upon seeing this, Tao Jingyang hurriedly headed towards Niulan Street.

When she arrived, Fan Xian and Teng Zijing were already severely wounded.

Just as Teng Zijing was about to charge forward again, ready to protect Fan Xian with his life, Tao Jingyang hurriedly channeled his inner energy and joined the battle.

However, even if a martial artist of around the sixth rank joined the battle, it seemed that he could only barely deal with Cheng Jushu, who was at the eighth rank.

A difference of one grade in quality can lead to a vast difference in quality.

So in just two or three moves, Tao Jingyang adopted a posture of fighting to the death.

To make herself appear more authentic, she deliberately revealed small flaws in order to get injured.

Tao Jingyang listened intently and thought to himself, "It's my turn to perform!" He noticed some cavalry approaching from a distance.

He immediately turned to Fan Xian, who possessed "seventh-grade combat power and third-grade output," and said, "Go back and get reinforcements first. I'll take care of things here!"

Just as Tao Jingyang turned his head, Cheng Jushu suddenly gathered his strength and attacked Tao Jingyang.

Fan Xian was shocked to see this and had no time to tell him to dodge. In his shock and anger, he unleashed his domineering true energy.

To outsiders, Tao Jingyang was still unable to dodge and was struck hard by Cheng Jushu. Cheng then used the momentum to swing an object from the side and smash it back.

At this moment, Fan Xian, who was unleashing his domineering true energy, also took advantage of Cheng Jushu's block and jumped up to deliver a powerful blow.

Cheng Jushu collapsed to the ground, and Fan Xian, also exhausted, spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body fell backward uncontrollably, but he still tried his best to turn around to see the condition of the person behind him.

What came into his view was Tao Jingyang, who was facing him, also spitting out a mouthful of blood before falling forward.

Before Fan Xian could say anything, he lost consciousness.
