For the sake of a fleeting glance back then, Jiang Qingwan concealed her identity and married into the general's mansion, expending half of her cultivation to help the Qin family change their f...
Qing Sui shook her head.
"Your Highness, if I leave, you will truly have no one to protect you."
Jiang Qingwan waved her hand.
“Wang Hao has a thousand elite soldiers outside, so I will be fine. It doesn’t matter if the Emperor dies, but Mo Yunhan cannot be harmed. Otherwise, it will be meaningless whether we protect the capital or not.”
Qing Sui didn't believe that Zhou Tao could pose much of a threat.
But Jiang Qingwan must have had a reason for doing this.
She bit her lip and knelt on one knee.
"Your Highness, please stay in the palace and wait for our return."
After saying that, he got up and left quickly.
The horse galloped away.
On the highest rooftop in Chang'an District, a young Taoist priest slowly stood up.
He stretched leisurely.
His fair and delicate face still bore traces of burn marks from being struck by lightning.
"Let's see who can protect you this time."
With a light step, he landed steadily on the high wall of the Ninth Prince's mansion's backyard.
The talisman in his hand transformed into a golden compass, pointing towards Lian'er, who was boiling water.
Lian'er felt a sudden wave of dizziness.
He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
The golden compass slowly tightened, converging at the center of her brow.
The young Taoist priest smiled leisurely and contentedly.
"What a coincidence! There's a wood-attribute fire element hidden in the Ninth Prince's mansion, which saves me the trouble of looking for someone else."
Xiao Hua and Xiao Hong, who were eating roast chicken, immediately perked up their ears.
It burst out from the garden, roaring angrily in the direction of the young Taoist priest.
Little Red leaped nimbly into the air and extended its sharp claws to attack.
The next moment, he was struck hard by a gust of wind.
He screamed and fell to the ground.
"You two little beasts, did you enjoy biting me in Weishan? Today, this immortal will take you in for alchemy!"
He released a golden circular talisman that resembled a compass once more.
It flew towards Little Red and Little Flower.
