He glanced in the direction Wen Ruyu had run off in, and smirked slightly: "It would be a pity to lose such a maid. Let me bring her back and discuss it with Brother Ling."

After saying that, Xu Suiyan leaped and disappeared into the night.

...

Wen Ruyu ran all the way to Zhuque Street. Recalling Ling Yuxuan's cold attitude when he chased her away, she squatted down under a stone tablet and couldn't help but cry.

Suddenly, a cold wind swept in.

Wen Ruyu instinctively looked up.

In an instant, her neck was restrained by a pair of cold hands.

Who are you?

"Don't speak, you ants!"

The remnants of the Nine Netherworld gang who had kidnapped him seemed very nervous, pulling her backward as if there was something terrifying right in front of them.

Just then, a mocking voice rang out behind him.

"Wow, to see this in the middle of the night in Chang'an is truly astonishing."

"Who goes there!"

Looking back, he saw Xu Suiyan, who had come out of the imperial city, sitting on a stone platform, swinging his wine gourd and looking at him mockingly.

"Don't be nervous, we're all on the same path."

He jumped off the stone platform and slowly approached Wen Ruyu.

"Stop! Don't come any closer! Or I'll kill her!"

"I told you, we're on the same side, I won't say anything no matter what you do."

Xu Suiyan smiled and took a few steps closer, then suddenly turned sideways and snatched Wen Ruyu directly from Jiu You's hands.

With the beauty in his arms, Xu Suiyan smiled confidently at her and gently stroked the edge of her nose.

"What are you doing? You lecher!"

Realizing what was happening, Wen Ruyu cried out in surprise, trying to quickly get rid of the young man's gaze.

However, Xu Suiyan held his waist firmly with her hands, preventing him from moving.

Upon witnessing this scene, the remnants of the Nine Netherworlds immediately began to replenish their strength without saying a word.

The moment he turned around, a sword aura pierced through his chest, and he instantly lost all signs of life.

The next moment, Liang Hao and his two companions made a powerful entrance.

All Liang Hao said to the corpse was, "No matter where you run to, you'll still be completely under my control."

Then he glanced at Xu Suiyan and asked, "Who are you people? Are you also accomplices of these scoundrels?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Suiyan laughed: "You actually dared to kill someone in the streets of Chang'an. You have absolutely no respect for the laws of the dynasty. Do you know... ah..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Suiyan lost control and released his grip on Wen Ruyu. Liang Hao charged forward and pulled him back dozens of feet by the back of his neck.

"Damn it, I'm asking you a question, so you should answer me properly. Who gave you permission to whine and dodge my questions?"

"I'll give you one chance. Let me see if the material of your storage bag is Suzhou embroidery, or you're in for a beating!"

Faced with the threat, Xu Suiyan calmly replied, "Dare to threaten me? I'll put my words here today."

"If I were to lose even a single hair, my father, Xu Rong, the Prince of Bashu, would have the entire city of Chang'an strung with spears from Western Shu!"

Bang--

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Hao pressed Xu Sui to the ground and stomped on him hard.

In an instant, Xu Sui's body sank three feet into the ground.

"Damn it, if you're going to rely on your father's connections, fine, but why hang spears from the Western Shu all over the city? It's just a bunch of bootleg, stitched-together artsy types."

Tonight, I'll show you what the real "Curse of the Golden Flower" is all about!

After saying that, Liang Hao stomped his foot, jolting Xu Suiyan up from the ground, and punched him directly in the abdomen.

puff--

Xu Suiyan was blasted away on the spot, leaving a trail of blood in mid-air.

"The fragrance of incense fills Chang'an, and the entire city is adorned with golden armor!"

"See this? This is the real poetry!"

Liang Hao's unparalleled figure stood tall under the night sky, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.
