But Su Yingxue knew it was too late.

She could almost feel the cold wind brought by the blade behind her and the slight chill of her torn clothes.

“Yingxue, watch out!”

Qin Muyan didn’t even have time to pull her into his embrace. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, just as the blade was about to touch her skin, about to pierce through her…

“Bang, bang, bang!”

A series of loud noises came rushing through, a black shadow passed by, and before anyone could see clearly what it was, all the knives flying toward Su Yingxue were severed!

Saint Ruan’s eyes widened. “D*mn!”

What was that?

Oh, it was a person.

Su Yingxue withdrew her needles and turned around, meeting Zi Wei’s cold, emotionless eyes.

“You’re back?”

Her joy overflowed in her words.

Zi Wei nodded stiffly. “Yeah.”

Where she faced danger, he would be there!

There were still countless soldiers surging towards them from all sides. Su Yingxue took a glance and realized, “They’re the Imperial Guards.”

The emperor’s men!

They were here to kill him.

“The Imperial Guards? D*mn, these people look like they’re here for slaughter. It seems they’re after Chu Yihan’s life!”

Saint Ruan sighed. How did he get involved in this?

It was all Su Yingxue’s fault!

He glared at Su Yingxue. “Your assassin is here. Why aren’t you running yet?”

With Zi Wei’s cover, they could make their escape.

Su Yingxue pushed him towards Qin Muyan. “You, take the Scarlet Flame King back to the Marquis’s Manor’s medicine hut and treat him!”

“Where are you going?”

“Where are you going?”

Saint Ruan and Qin Muyan spoke in unison. They both could tell Su Yingxue didn’t plan to leave with them.

Su Yingxue’s gaze was resolute. “I’m going to find Your Highness.”

“No! These are the Imperial Guards from the palace. Their numbers are overwhelming, and they’re clearly…”

There were words Qin Muyan didn’t say, but Su Yingxue understood.

This wasn’t just about his duel with Chu Yihan anymore.

Someone was trying to take advantage of their duel to cause chaos and seize the opportunity to get rid of Chu Yihan!

“I understand the emperor’s intentions, so Your Highness must stay safe! Otherwise, the Great Wei Dynasty and Great Cheng Dynasty will surely go to war!” Su Yingxue stepped in front of Qin Muyan. “I’ve already stitched up your wounds. Saint Ruan’s medical skills are enough to save your life. Please leave safely and ensure the peace of the border between the two countries.”

“Your Highness, Miss Su is right! How devastated would the Eldest Princess be if she didn’t see you return safely? Your Majesty values you deeply, and she would surely be enraged, sparking a war with the Great Cheng Dynasty. The people would suffer greatly!”

Wei Jue knelt before Qin Muyan, pleading.

Qin Muyan propped himself up with his sword and prepared for battle.

His stern features exuded a commanding presence. “Yingxue, many of your reasons make sense, but I only believe in one principle. Even if I fall in battle, I will protect you!”

His words resonated powerfully, causing everyone to shudder.

Saint Ruan felt a pang of bitterness. “You’re already injured like this, yet you still want to protect me?”

He was indeed a tough nut to crack, not yielding even to a sword!

But it had to be said, that with his determination, he might be able to protect Su Yingxue for a while.

Su Yingxue’s heart trembled for a moment, but only briefly.

She took a deep breath and locked her gaze with Qin Muyan’s. “Your Highness, I appreciate your concern, but would you still protect me if I choose to go to Chu Yihan?”

“I vow to do so!”

“What if I choose to stand by his side, even in death?”
