Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyun carefully examined the surroundings, not missing a single subtle movement.

A moment later, she smiled and said softly, "Don't worry, Luo Bao, everything went smoothly this time, and there were no abnormal signs."

It's safe around here; no more assassins will bother us.

Qin Qianlu nodded, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she continued watching the TV series, immersing herself in the fantastical and exciting plot, temporarily forgetting the fatigue and boredom of the journey.

Those ministers who could hear her thoughts breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the trip was safe and sound.

Although they were high-ranking officials of the court, experienced many trials and tribulations, and were not afraid of the threat of assassins, it was still annoying to have their mood disturbed by assassins for no reason.

Moreover, no one wants to encounter any accidents or dangers on their way home; returning to Beijing safely is what they desire most at this moment.

And so, the group returned to the capital smoothly.

After paying their respects to the Emperor and Empress according to protocol, the officials returned to their residences to rest, each with their own thoughts on the matter.

The next day, as dawn broke and birds sang, it was a fine time for officials to rest.

Qin Qianluo complied with Yaoguang's earnest request and took her on a journey to the farm outside the capital.

Yao Guang's eyes revealed an unwavering determination, as she was determined to stay by Qin Qianluo's side at all times and protect her safety.

After being defeated by Yao Guang's seemingly casual yet incredibly powerful move, An Yue, filled with shame and resentment, went to intensify her training.

Seeing that Yao Guang's mind was made up and her attitude was as firm as a rock, Qin Qianluo had no choice but to nod slightly in agreement.

Before long, the carriage slowly came to a stop, arriving at the tranquil farm.

As Qin Qian stepped off the carriage, Yao Guang's originally calm gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp, as if she had become a different person.

With a flash, she dashed out like a colorful lightning bolt, creating a gust of wind.

Qin Qianlu was startled, a bad premonition welled up in her heart, and she hurriedly got off the carriage and looked anxiously in the direction Yao Guang had rushed off to.

Yao Guang was already engaged in fierce combat with one person. Under Yao Guang's fierce and unparalleled offensive, the person appeared to be struggling to defend himself and was full of openings.

Yao Guang's swordsmanship was like a dragon emerging from the sea, each strike carrying a deadly danger. In just a few moves, she accurately stabbed the man with her sword.

After being injured, the man pulled out a black sphere from somewhere and threw it violently at Yao Guang.

Yao Guang's eyes narrowed, and she dodged the sudden hidden weapon with a slight sidestep.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the man turned and fled in panic without looking back, quickly disappearing into the woods.

Yao Guang was concerned for Qin Qianluo's safety and worried that there might be other dangerous people lurking in the shadows around them.

She merely glanced coldly in the direction the person had fled, without rashly chasing after them. Instead, she nimbly and swiftly returned to Qin Qianluo's side.

Seeing this, Qin Qianluo was full of doubts, but she did not ask any questions.

After carefully looking Yao Guang up and down and confirming that she was not injured, he led her into the farm.

Meanwhile, Qi Meng, who had fled in a disheveled state, stumbled and staggered all the way back to Linglong Pavilion.

Beneath the jade mask she wore, her face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, overcast and extremely unsightly.

The maid beside her had sharp eyes and noticed that Qimeng's arm was covered in blood, and the wound was gruesome.

I hurriedly ran to get some hemostatic medicine and clean gauze, and carefully bandaged her wound.

The maid was extremely intelligent and knew that her mistress was in a very bad mood. She knew it was not appropriate to ask any questions at this time, but she was secretly puzzled.

After all, in this martial arts world, their master Qimeng's martial arts skills are quite high. There are very few people who can defeat her, let alone anyone who can hurt her. It is almost unheard of.

Today's sudden turn of events is truly baffling, like an absurd nightmare.

Qimeng herself sat down in the chair, her brows furrowed, deep in thought about the problem.

After the maid properly applied the medicine and carefully bandaged her wound, she suppressed the anger that was about to burst forth from her heart.

He instructed the maid to immediately inform Shadow One that when tracking Dark Moon in the future, one must be even more careful and cautious, and must not be negligent in the slightest.

The reason is that a master with unfathomable martial arts skills has appeared by Qin Qianluo's side, like a time bomb hidden in the dark.

This could deal a fatal blow to her plans at any moment, so the maid quickly responded and went to inform Shadow One of the matter.

Qi Meng sat alone in the pavilion, her gaze fixed on her slashed arm, her anger burning fiercely as if it would devour her reason.

She gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "I never expected that there would be such a powerful master hidden in this world."

"Qin Qianluo, you truly surprise me time and time again, always managing to introduce unexpected changes at crucial moments."
