The carriage hadn't gone far when the clatter of hooves came from behind.

A group of highly trained assassins emerged and attacked the carriage.

Gan Xiuming frowned and leaped out of the carriage.

Tu Longjian sat in the carriage, only hearing the sound of weapons clashing fiercely.

She appeared worried, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and lifted the curtain to look out of the car.

Gan Xiuming was seen leaping and soaring through the air, wielding his sword with effortless skill.

Every slash drew blood, swiftly reaping the lives of the assassins.

She turned around and saw Fang Milu sitting calmly in the carriage.

Tu Longjian feigned panic and cried out, "So many thugs! Young Master Gan, please be safe!"

Fang Milu pulled down the curtain in an annoyed tone, pouting as she said, "Don't curse me."

"Brother Gan has studied under his master for many years and his martial arts skills are superb, far beyond what ordinary people can compare to."

Tu Longjian stared at Fang Milu with shining eyes.

"Master? Is Young Master Gan's master very powerful? I don't seem to know what the relationship is between Miss Fang and Young Master Gan?"

"Of course it's powerful, my master is related to immortals."

"Our martial arts skills, which we learned in elementary school, are already close to those of immortals!"

“I’m his junior sister. We grew up together and have a deep bond.”

She was wary and proud.

"This guy just popped up out of nowhere..."

Looking up, Fang Milu saw a pair of beautiful eyes gazing at her with sparkling light, and she felt as if she had been attacked by beauty herself.

He just couldn't bring himself to say "small fish."

She said, somewhat annoyed:

"...Not just anyone can replace her!"

"Being beautiful isn't an option!"

"Oh? That's amazing! May I witness it?"

Tu Longjian continued to look at her with a smile, hoping to extract more information.

Fang Milu turned her head away, not wanting to look directly at her beautiful face, and hardened her heart, saying:

"You and we are from two different worlds."

"I am going to Huixian Town to participate in the sect's recruitment."

"We are about to enter the world of cultivation to seek the path to immortality!"

"And you... were born in a brothel, of lowly birth. You will never be able to follow us in seeking immortality."

Tu Longjian was not angry, but leaned down and whispered in his ear.

"I came from the mud, and you were born noble, so what?"

"Isn't your brother Gan just like any other ordinary person, unable to resist my honey trap?"

"It remains to be seen who will ultimately prevail!"

His words were sharp and incisive, causing Fang Milu's pupils to shrink slightly.

She pointed at Tu Longjian in surprise and said:

"You...you...you're faking it!"

Tu Longjian crossed his legs and looked at her with an innocent expression.

"How could that be, Sister Fang? It was you who spoke rudely first."

"Can't courtesans have dreams?"

Fang Milu bit her lip and shouted, "No matter what, Brother Gan only likes me, don't even think about touching me!"

"Really? I've seen countless men in brothels, and he seems like a womanizer. Want to make a bet with me?"

"...What are we betting on?"

"I'm betting on whether he falls in love with every woman he meets."

"I'm betting on how many other women he has besides you."

“If he’s a womanizer, I won’t be with him! I won’t be a concubine, not even a secondary wife.”

Tu Longjian's eyes were deep: "Remember what you said today. If he is unfaithful, you must leave."

Fang Milu, embarrassed and angry, retorted: "I don't need you to tell me!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, Gan Xiuming lifted the curtain and returned to the carriage.

There wasn't a trace of blood on him, only a faint smell of blood.

Tu Longjian asked, feigning concern, "Is Young Master Gan alright?"

Gan Xiuming quickly reassured him, "It's alright. With my skills, dealing with these thugs is a piece of cake."

He was pleasantly surprised to see admiration and worship in Tu Longjian's eyes.

Fang Milu glared at her, angrily exclaiming, "You don't know, her weak and frail appearance is all an act!"

Gan Xiuming, however, disagreed and rebuked Fang Milu:

How could you say such a thing about Chunxiang?

Upon hearing this, Tu Longjian paused, glanced at Fang Milu with a hurt expression, and lowered his head.

Upon seeing this, Gan Xiuming hurriedly left Fang Milu to comfort her.

Tu Longjian winked at Fang Milu during the gap, as if to say, "See, I told you so."

Fang Milu snorted, crossed her arms, and hid in a corner to sulk.

A little while later, Gan Xiuming came to coax her again, and the two made up after some playful banter.

Fang Milu looked over defiantly.

Tu Longjian looked back with a half-smile, then nonchalantly began to drink his tea.

Teasing his childhood sweetheart was just a casual thing to do, and he shouldn't have torn her apart from him overnight by a stranger.

It was just to plant a seed in her heart.

Every time a woman appeared in Gan Xiuming's life afterward, it would spur this seed to sprout and grow.

Until she took root and flourished, Long Aotian's harem was engulfed in flames. She beautifully seized the fortune and leveled up to become powerful.

Her real purpose was to investigate Long Aotian's current strength.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Tu Longjian used the excuse of needing to relieve himself to stop the car and enter the woods.

Soon, a dark glint appeared in my peripheral vision.

Hou Qiyun squatted on the tree branch and whispered:

“Miss Tu, one group of people has been wiped out, and five more are on their way here.”

"You...your husband really can handle this all by himself?"

"Of course, didn't you see his strength?"

Tu Longjian said arrogantly, hands on his hips.

She was initially unsure, but now that she knows the details from Fang Milu, she is very confident.

"That's good. Your Highness has agreed to the cooperation."

“We will spread more rumors so that they will think you are a princess, and more assassins will try to kill you.”
