"Son, you're finally back. Your mother has not failed you in leaving them here for you. If you enter the palace, remember to mention to your father that you want me to come to the palace!"

When the woman saw her son return, she rushed forward to greet him, but was instead kicked away by the man.

"You think you can enter the palace? Don't you even look at yourself in the mirror? Father prefers beautiful women, while you're just a haggard old woman. Entering the palace would only disgust Father. Get out..."

“I am your mother.”

The woman couldn't believe it; the man hadn't said that to her just now.

"Go to hell! I have no mother, only a father, you bastard."

To everyone's disbelief, in full view of everyone, the man pulled a sword from a constable's hand and stabbed the woman viciously.

"puff……"

The woman coughed up blood intermittently.

"Why...why?"

"Because women are all worthless, stepping stones for men. I'm doing you a favor by letting you stall for time. Do you really think I'll take you to the palace to enjoy a life of luxury? Bah, you don't deserve it."

After the man finished speaking, he laughed loudly and pointed at the woman, calling her stupid.

Unable to bear it any longer, "Blood Purple Rose" flicked her finger and shot out a poisoned needle, killing the man instantly.

"this……"

Everyone was terrified. Seeing this, Lieutenant Ouyang Chen stepped forward, wiped the man's breath, shook his head, and gave an order to the officer beside him.

"Go to the palace immediately and tell the Imperial Advisor that the Thirty-Sixth Prince has died a violent death. Ask him how to handle the matter."

"yes."

The official jogged away into the distance, leaving "Blood Purple Rose" and the others speechless.

"The Thirty-Sixth Young Master? Is Qiu Tianxiang some kind of boar? His son is ranked thirty-sixth? Isn't he afraid of dying from excessive indulgence?"

Thinking of this, "Blood Purple Rose" blushed slightly.

"What am I thinking? How did my mind get to that?"

"She is truly a beauty; the Imperial Advisor will surely be pleased."

Gazing at the beautiful scenery before him, Lieutenant Ouyang Chen's eyes also held a lewd glint. He then pointed...

"The death of the Thirty-Sixth Young Master must be related to these people. Seize them for me."

"My lord, this person seems to be the Miss Luo Yun that the Imperial Advisor asked us to find."

A constable whispered something to Ouyang Chen, who then took out the portrait in his hand and gestured towards "Xue Ziwei," his eyes showing even greater joy.

"It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly."

"Girl, run!"

Upon seeing this, the man named Dongzi shouted, but Ouyang Chen stabbed him in the back with a sword.

"How dare you let Miss Luo Yun escape? I'll take your life!"

"kill."

Upon seeing this, Li Mufeng's deep eyes immediately filled with rage.

"Hey! How are you?"

"Blood Purple Rose" quickly helped the man stop the bleeding and bandage him. Seeing that it was only a superficial injury, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Am I...am I going to die? Cuihua is gone, and I don't want to live either. Girls, you are good people, hurry up and leave. That Grand Preceptor is a beast. You must not let him catch you. Go...go find the Sixth Young Master. He...he will save you."

The man spoke haltingly, while "Blood Purple Rose" frowned deeply.

"Isn't this sixth young master Chu Yunmo? Right now he's in the 'Purple Cloud Kingdom,' so I'm afraid he's too far away to reach her."

"Bang."

Just as Xue Ziwei was lost in thought, a burst of dazzling fireworks exploded in the sky, and Li Mufeng spoke in a deep voice.

"Run! That evil Taoist priest will probably get the news and arrive soon."

"Don't let Luo Yun get away. The Imperial Advisor is searching the whole world for her. Whoever catches her will be richly rewarded by the Imperial Advisor."

Lieutenant Ouyang Chen's words caused an uproar not only among the soldiers chasing "Blood Purple Rose" and his group, but also among the city's residents.

"Seize her, seize Miss Luo Yun."

"What exactly happened? How did you become a descendant of Princess Luoxi?"

After killing several people, Li Mufeng caught up with "Blood Purple Rose" and questioned her.

"How would I know! My mother is clearly Wang Shuqing, and she has confirmed that I am not an adopted child. But these people are just crazy and won't let me go."

Especially that sorcerer, who wanted me to use my blood to open some kind of altar, saying only my blood could open it—isn't that nonsense? I admit my blood is special, but it's not a key, so how can I open the altar?

"Blood Purple Rose" was extremely frustrated. What had she done to deserve this? She just wanted to give up, but these people wouldn't give her the chance.

"We'll discuss this later. Let's find somewhere to hide first."

Li Mufeng knew this wasn't the time to talk about this, so he changed the subject.

With more and more pursuers closing in, the three knew they couldn't win and had no choice but to flee.

"Guanyunxuan" is Chu Yunmo's territory.

"Blood Purple Rose" recalled what the man who had just called out to Dongzi had said, and then spoke.

At this moment, inside the "Guanyun Pavilion", Ruxuan gathered everyone in the mansion, holding a brocade box containing rows of bloody fingers.

Qiu Tianxiang was ruthless. He said he would send a part of Ziyuan's body to "Guanyunxuan" every day, and he actually did.

Despite Ruxuan's desperate pleas, Qiu Tianxiang only granted her three days' grace. Now, there were six fingers lying in the box, which terrified Ruxuan. If anything happened to her mistress, she would be held responsible even if she died ten thousand times.

"Sisters, the young master saved us from dire straits, and now that he is in danger, we cannot stand idly by."

The Imperial Advisor kidnapped the Lady in order to force the Young Master to show himself. Now the Imperial Advisor has already cut off six of the Lady's fingers. If we don't rescue the Lady quickly, the next thing the Imperial Advisor might send is the Lady's eyeballs.

The young master taught us martial arts, rewarded us with food and supplies, and even taught us the art of disguise to hide our gender. It's time for us to repay his kindness by carrying grass and rings in our beaks.

"We must rescue the lady from the palace tonight."

Ruxuan held up the brocade box high and spoke with great passion, prompting everyone at "Guanyunxuan" to shout in unison.

"Save the lady! Save the lady..."

"Bang……"

A deafening roar silenced the shouts instantly. Everyone knelt down, trembling with fear.

"Grand Preceptor... Grand Preceptor, spare us! Grand Preceptor... Grand Preceptor, spare us! We...we..."

"You can continue, just pretend you didn't see us."

A clear, melodious voice rang out. Ru Xuan looked up and saw "Blood Purple Rose" and two other men standing in front of her.

"You wretch, it's you! You've come at the perfect time. Tell me, where have you hidden my young master?"

Upon seeing "Blood Purple Rose," Ru Xuan immediately scrambled to her feet, drew her sword, and pointed it angrily.

The others in the courtyard also drew their swords. "Blood Purple Rose" counted them and found there were as many as fifty or sixty people.

"You are all women?"

Li Mufeng parted his thin lips slightly, his deep eyes sweeping over the sword-wielding hands of the men. His words greatly surprised "Blood Purple Rose."

These people in front of him clearly all had male faces, so why did Li Mufeng say they were all women?

Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was puzzled, a commotion arose outside the door.

"Grand Preceptor, she's just ahead. I'm keeping close watch, and Luo Yun is indeed running in this direction."

"Oh no, the evil Taoist priest is here! Can I borrow your place to hide?"

"Blood Purple Rose" patted Ru Xuan on the shoulder, then dashed off towards the inner courtyard.

Li Mufeng and Wang Feng exchanged a glance, then flew up to two towering trees in the courtyard.
