Chapter 173 Qingfeng Comes to the Rescue

Mingyue Qingfeng was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Shen Ruixue became a little anxious, "Look over there!"

Before Shen Pingjin and Yan Jue had gone far, Mingyue and Qingfeng, still half-asleep, also saw them.

"Alright, I'll take you there."

Qingfeng said, "Mingyue, you stay here. I'll be right back. You stay here and protect the Second Prince."

"good."

The bright moon is very grateful to the gentle breeze.

Shen Pingjin and Yan Jue were planning to take advantage of the night to explore the Great Fog Mountain. They had no intention of hiding, since everyone was asleep at the time, but they did not expect to be seen by Shen Ruixue.

"Yan Jue, is this the way?"

Yan Jue wrapped his arms around Shen Pingjin's waist and led her back and forth through the woods.

Fortunately, Shen Pingjin was not afraid of heights, but she still clung tightly to the man's shoulders.

Yan Jue thoroughly enjoyed this feeling. He glanced at the woman in his arms and said, "Mmm."

They are sparing with words.

Chen Pingjin: "..."

Okay, she stopped talking and just lay quietly in the man's arms. That's fine.

Qingfeng and Shen Ruixue were already following closely behind. As bodyguards of Su Xuanmao, the two were naturally skilled in martial arts.

The reason they obeyed Shen Ruixue so readily was because they had observed how Shen Ruixue treated Su Xuanmao.

Sometimes they also felt sorry for Shen Ruixue.

"arrive."

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Jue looked at the surroundings, which were dark yet emitted a faint light, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Is this the Great Fog Mountain?"

Shen Pingjin looked around in surprise and discovered that although this place was called Dawu Mountain, there was actually no fog at all.

"The spiritual energy here seems to be very abundant; perhaps the name 'Great Fog' comes from this."

Yan Jue frowned slightly. He felt as if he and Shen Pingjin had been watched by something the moment they stepped into the misty mountains.

The sticky feeling made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Just then, Yan Jue suddenly pushed Shen Pingjin aside and swiftly drew his sword from his waist:

"careful!"

Between the clash of swords, there is the sound of a sharp sword blocking a sharp weapon.

Shen Pingjin was pushed hard and fell to the ground unexpectedly. She got up from the ground in surprise and was met with a pair of sinister eyes!

"Hahaha, you two are finally here! I've been waiting for you here so long I was almost falling asleep."

Both Lu Qingxiao and Xumi wore veils. If it weren't for the fact that Dawu Mountain was their territory, they might not have noticed the movements of Yan Jue and Shen Pingjin.

Unfortunately, they had already laid an ambush.

"Who are you? What kind of people are you? Why are you attacking us?"

Yan Jue asked the three questions that the protagonist would definitely ask when he was assassinated.

Lu Qingxiao used a voice-changing pill, making his voice unusually soft and feminine. "Enough nonsense, prepare to die!"

Upon seeing this, Yan Jue immediately started fighting with Lu Qingxiao.

Chen Pingjin was powerless and felt a sense of helplessness as she watched Yan Jue wrestle with someone.

If only I knew martial arts!

Xumi also discovered that Chen Pingjin did not know martial arts, and immediately turned his attack on Chen Pingjin.

"Remember this, I want this woman alive!"

Lu Qingxiao spoke up to remind him.

Xumi nodded and immediately flew away.

Knowing she was no match for this man, Shen Pingjin immediately turned and ran.

"Chenping Brocade!"

Seeing another man in black lunge at Chen Pingjin with his blade, Yan Jue immediately shouted.

You can mess with anyone, but you can't mess with his woman!

Yan Jue immediately stepped forward, but Lu Qingxiao blocked his way.

"Oh, what a loving couple you are! Have you forgotten about me, Yan Jue?"

The person in front of me actually knows my name?

Yan Jue's pupils dilated in shock as he pondered the true purpose of their departure.

He had always been portrayed as a useless and incompetent person in the capital, so in theory no one should have seen him as a thorn in their side.

So that's it...

Yan Jue understood. How could he let Shen Pingjin get hurt? He immediately flashed forward, avoiding all attacks.

Qingfeng found a place to hide and put Shen Ruixue down from his back. The two of them naturally saw this scene.

Qingfeng hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, the Regent's wife and the Regent are in danger. Do you think we should lend a hand?"

Shen Ruixue shook her head: "No need."

She wished Shen Pingjin dead.

"But……"

Qingfeng's impression of Shen Ruixue began to change again.

Shen Pingjin is her older sister, yet she didn't even save her. Isn't this kind of woman... a bit too cold-blooded?

He was Su Xuanmao's bodyguard, and he knew that Shen Pingjin was the person Su Xuanmao liked. Su Xuanmao had once said that if Shen Pingjin were in danger, he would definitely go to save her.

With that thought in mind, Qingfeng made a firm decision.

"Your Highness, you must stay here and protect your safety. I was once instructed by the Fourth Prince to protect the Regent's wife, so... I cannot stand by and watch her die!"

"you……"

Shen Ruixue watched Qingfeng leave in disbelief, her eyes filled with deep shock.

I never expected that Su Xuanmao would give such an order to Mingyue Qingfeng.

Just as Xumi was about to kidnap Chen Pingjin, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The hands that were about to be extended were pulled back.

Who are you?

Xumi looked at Qingfeng and was certain that he had never seen this person before.

Qingfeng helped Chen Pingjin up from the ground. "Regent's Princess, are you injured?"

Shen Pingjin thought she was going to die, but when she suddenly saw someone help her up from the ground, she was surprised. When she saw Qingfeng's appearance, she was even more surprised.

"Qingfeng, what are you doing here?"

Shen Pingjin knew this person. In her previous life, after her feelings for Su Xuanmao gradually faded, she became closer to the two experts around him.

Chen Pingjin remembers that Qingfeng was among them.

Therefore, she did not have a bad impression of Qingfeng.

Qingfeng raised her hand in a gesture of respect: "Princess Regent, now is not the time to discuss these matters. I will explain them to you in detail later."

Previously, when Shen Pingjin and Su Xuanmao had a good relationship, the two had some exchanges, and Qingfeng had a good impression of Shen Pingjin.

"Okay. Then I'll leave it to you."

Yan Jue, who was entangled with Lu Qingxiao not far away, naturally noticed this scene as well. When he saw that the person who came was Qingfeng, he instantly understood what was going on.

"Qingfeng, I'm entrusting Pingjin's protection to you. Although you are Su Xuanmao's bodyguard, I can only trouble you with this task now."

Yan Jue was flexible and adaptable, especially when it came to the safety of Shen Pingjin; he always knew how to be flexible and adaptable.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Lu Qingxiao hadn't expected someone to suddenly appear to protect Shen Pingjin. He gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly deal with that man for me!"

If Sumeru can't even defeat a single guard, then he doesn't need to stay in the Phantom Pavilion anymore.
