w to demand answers. If she asks nicely, Qian Si Chen will patiently appease her. But if she presses too hard, he'll likely become annoyed. Once a man starts getting annoyed with a woman, no matter h..."Princess! Are you alright" Wu Chengzong didn't care about propriety anymore, carefully supporting her.

Mu Huan covered her chest, shaking her head in pain: "I'm fine..."

"Who are you I advise you not to interfere with my business, or else don't blame me for being impolite!" The leader of the masked men, wielding a large sword in his hand, was extremely arrogant.

"Princess, please rest here for a moment. I'll take care of this next!" Wuchengzong helped Mu Huan sit down on the side and slowly turned around, staring coldly at the masked man who was making noise: "Did you just injure her"

"So what I advise you not to interfere in my business!" The masked man was still arrogant.

"Then you needn't live anymore!" Wu Chengzong leaped into the air and slapped at the man with a palm strike. This furious blow was imbued with all his strength, but strangely, the masked man actually dodged it.

Wu Chengzong was secretly startled. This ordinary petty thief couldn't possibly withstand his palm strike, yet this person effortlessly resolved it. It seemed his martial arts were not weak at all. Thus, Wu Chengzong immediately became serious.

Mu Huan covered her aching chest, her eyes involuntarily drawn to Wu Chengzong in the midst of the fight. He moved with a lithe grace like a cheetah, nimble and swift. She had never imagined his martial arts skills were so impressive; her liking for him deepened even further.

The masked man seemed to realize that Mu Chengzong was a tough opponent, so he winked at the people beside him, made a feint with his hand, and leaped into the air, vanishing in an instant!

Wǔ Chéngzōng was about to chase after them, but when he turned back, he saw Mù Huán who seemed to be injured. He quickly stopped and said: "Princess, are you alright"

"It's fine, just a minor injury. Go back and rest for a bit. Thank you for your help, young master!" Facing his outstretched hand, Mu Huan instinctively took a step back, avoiding his touch.

Wu Chengzong saw that she actually dodged, a wave of disappointment washing over him: "Having internal injuries can't be endured, what if..."

"It's alright, I'll just go back and have the guards treat my wounds." Mu Huan's tone was still aloof. She wanted to stand up, but the palm strike had injured her badly, making it difficult even to stand.

Wuchengzong seemed a little unaccustomed to her distance from him. Seeing that Xigonggong hadn't caught up yet, he stepped forward and said, "Princess, I apologize for offending you!" Then he bent down and scooped her up in his arms.

"You..." Mu Huan didn't expect him to hug her like this. She was shocked, but also happy. This embrace was strong and warm. If she could be held like this for a lifetime, how wonderful it would be. Unfortunately, he didn't mean it.

"This marquis will personally escort the princess back to the inn."

The princess was a woman, and for him to carry her back like this in public was naturally inappropriate. But at this moment, it seemed he couldn't care less.

After they left, the two masked men slowly emerged from the shadows.

The next moment, Xiao Yuge also walked out with her hands behind her back. The two masked men immediately pulled off their masks and respectfully bowed forward: "Lord!" They were none other than Lei and Tian, the two Dharma Protectors!

Xiao Yu Ge glanced at Mu Huan and the others as they left, nodding at them: "Well done both of you just now!"

“Thank you for the compliments, host!” Lei and Tian, the two protectors, secretly touched their foreheads. They never thought that they, the three and four protectors of the Frost Snow Tower, would one day do such a ridiculous thing. If this got out, they wouldn't even have a place to put their faces.

"But, your two performances just now, they don't seem like acting. You guys couldn't have really been bandits before, could you" Xiao Yuge expressed suspicion.

Alarmed, Lei and Tian, the two Dharma protectors, hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Master, you are indeed wise. We previously..."

"Alright, I was just kidding you! Look at how scared you are. I don't care what you did in the past, but now, you are the guardians of Frost and Snow Tower, my loyal assistants. I always protect my own. As long as from now on, you don't do anything harmful, I will let bygones be bygones."

"Thank you, host!" Seeing the host stop pursuing the matter, Lei and Tian, the two Dharma protectors, secretly wiped their sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. However, thinking back, they had really been bandits before.

“Considering how hard you two worked just now, that business of looking for Old Man Feng can be put on hold for now. Go back and train your people well and be ready at all times! Also, take this opportunity to seriously straighten things out. For those who break the rules of the Frost Snow Tower, there must be severe consequences! And if anyone dares to burn, loot, or kill innocent civilians, they will be killed without mercy!” There have been rumors recently that people under your command have been running amok in the name of the Frost Snow Tower. It seems like a good time to clean house.

"Yes!"

Somewhere, a figure seemed to flash past. Xiao Yu Ge recognized that figure and with a wave of his hand, he signaled Lei and Tian, his two protectors, to step back first. He then followed after that person.

She chased after the figure to a deserted place and instinctively stopped, softly saying, “Come out.” Wasn’t he trying to lure her over She came, what else could he do

"Miss Xiao is indeed an artist with great courage!" Gongzi Wu Yue slowly walked out from behind the tree. At this time, he had already changed into that bright red wedding robe, no different from his usual attire.

Xiao Yuge saw him and was slightly surprised. A slight smile curved her lips, and her eyes sparkled with excitement: "Young Master Wuyue shouldn't be at the wedding ceremony of Qingfengguan and my elder sister, drinking toasts right now How did you find time to come here"

"You know that embroidery ball was meant for you." The young master Wuyue frowned slightly, today he was truly made a fool of by her.

“Really” Xiao Yuge wore an innocent expression: “How would I know There were so many people there at the time. I thought that Young Master Wuyue had long been in love with my elder sister, so he threw the embroidered ball to her out of eagerness. Just now, I was still thinking about how Young Master Wuyue actually became my brother-in-law. What kind of gift should I give him” She was thrilled inside, and she couldn't help but laugh. In one go, she had solved two problems, it was truly delightful!

"You've caused me great trouble, Qingfengguan!" Wuyue Gongzi stroked his forehead. He had calculated everything, but he never expected that the embroidered ball would be received by Xiao Yufu. She was the chosen one for the Crown Prince, a woman of heavenly fate and good fortune. Could he dare defy her That was tantamount to treason, a capital offense!

"You plotted against me first, so getting into this mess is entirely your own fault." Xiao Yuge didn't think she had done anything wrong. If he hadn't been the one to throw the embroidered ball at her in the first place, how could she have set him up

"You!" Wu Yue Gongzi's voice was laced with anger: "I, Qing Feng Guan, have so many people under me. If anything were to happen to them, I wouldn't let you off!" He genuinely had feelings for her, but this current situation made him angry at her as well.he horse sweats, the pepper water will flow into its eyes, causing it to lose control.""This is the royal hunting ground. What kind of person would be so bold as to attempt an assassination on the Emp...
