Chapter 271: Unbeatable

"Why are you doing this?" Zheng Xun sighed, "How could I be so worthy of your attention?"

In the moonlight, Zheng Xun looked at Cui Ruxu carefully. Thinking of what he was about to say, he suddenly felt a little nervous. He didn't know how this woman in front of him would react after knowing his past and what he had done.

This was the first time in his life that he clearly felt the fear in his heart.

"I'm willing!" Cui Ruxu's voice was low, but with unshakable persistence.

"Xu'er!" Zheng Xun swallowed nervously and said, "If...if...if I'm not as upright as you think, what will you do?"

"Brother Zheng!" Cui Ruxu bit her lip and asked, "I just want to ask you, do you have me in your heart...do you have me in your heart? Even if it's just a little bit, a tiny bit?"

"Yes!" Zheng Xun nodded heavily. More than just a little, his heart was now full of her shadow.

He didn't know when it started, but he couldn't let go of the girl in front of him.

Hearing Zheng Xun's answer, Cui Ruxu couldn't help but laugh. This time, no tears fell. Her smile was very sweet. "Well, no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, whether you were a beggar or a prodigal son, I don't care and I won't explore it."

"But I used to..." Zheng Xun said hesitantly.

Before Zheng Xun could finish, Cui Ruxu interrupted him: "The one I met was you as you are now, the Master Zheng Xun who saved me."

"But..." Zheng Xun gritted his teeth and said, "But I lied to you. The robbery you encountered was arranged by me. At that time, I showed up at the right time just to make you grateful to me and fall in love with me. Even so, you don't care?"

After Zheng Xun finished speaking, his heartbeat became even more irregular.

Cui Ruxu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then pursed her lips and asked, "Why?"

"So that you can help me find some things!" Zheng Xun replied.

Cui Ruxu didn't say anything after hearing this, but lowered her head slightly. For a moment, the whole room was silent.

As the suffocating silence settled in, Zheng Xun's heart grew increasingly panicked, sinking deeper and deeper. The uneasiness and fear in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Just when he was about to be unable to bear it, Cui Ruxu's voice rang out, "Now, have you found that thing?"

"No!"

"Then why are you telling me now! Are you coming back to me to continue looking for that thing?" Cui Ruxu asked with some difficulty.

"I give up!" Zheng Xun's voice trembled slightly. "Xu'er, I don't want to use you anymore, nor do I want to desecrate your feelings for me anymore."

"Can I trust you?" Cui Ruxun looked up into Zheng Xun's eyes.

Zheng Xun looked at Cui Ruxu without dodging: "Xu'er, are you willing to believe me?"

"I believe it!" Cui Ruxu nodded slightly.

Zheng Xun was so excited when he heard this: "Xu'er, aren't you afraid...aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you again?"

"Scared! Of course I'm afraid!" Cui Ruxu sighed softly and said quietly, "If I trust you wrongly again this time, it will be my own fault. I can't blame anyone else. If that time really comes, I will find a way out for myself!"

There was a kind of almost paranoid determination in Cui Ruxu's eyes.

"Xu'er, I, Zheng Xun, swear that I will never let you down in this life!" Zheng Xun hugged Cui Ruxu and whispered in Cui Ruxu's ear.

"Okay! I believe you!"

Cui Ruxu's eyes became hot and tears fell again. She hugged Zheng Xun back with a smile on her lips.

"Xu'er, I still have some things to deal with. Once I've finished, I'll come and propose marriage, okay?" Zheng Xun asked softly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Zheng Xun quietly slipped out of the guest house, jumped onto the top of the wall, and was about to jump out of the outer wall of Yuan Mansion when suddenly, a strong wind whistled towards his face.

Zheng Xun's eyes sharpened, and he stepped back quickly, barely avoiding the attack, then looked intently at the person who came.

"You are in a good mood, sir. What are you trying to do by breaking into the general's mansion at night?" The man was Huo Da.

When Huo Da missed his attack, he drew his sword and pointed at Zheng Xun.

"Oh, you are quite skilled!" Zheng Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Da warily. "If I'm guessing correctly, you are Miss Yuan's secret guard. Why, instead of staying by Miss Yuan's side to protect her, you've become the guard of General Yuan's mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Da's expression turned even colder. "How dare you spy on the family of an important official of the imperial court? What's the crime you deserve?"

"Hmph, don't try to show off your authority to me. I won't fall for that!" Zheng Xun said coldly, "Do you think I was brought up by being scared?"

"In that case, then stay!" Huo Da snorted coldly, stepped on the ground, swung the long sword in his hand into a sword flower, and stabbed towards Zheng Xun.

Zheng Xun was not afraid either. He pulled out the software from his waist and blocked it.

With a "clang" sound, the collision of the swords was particularly crisp in the night. Zheng Xun and Huo Da took a few steps back at the same time, and their hands holding the hilts trembled secretly.

Zheng Xun sneered, "It's getting late today, I won't keep you company any longer. Goodbye, see you later!"

After saying that, Zheng Xun jumped off the wall, but before he could stand firmly, a fist wrapped in strong wind suddenly hit his chest.

Zheng Xun was shocked. He had no idea that there was someone outside the wall. He was caught off guard and was hit by the fist.

With a "bang", Zheng Xun's back hit the wall hard. The tightness in his chest made him hold his lapel and cough violently twice.

The injury on his back had not yet fully healed, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

The next moment, the tip of the sword, which was shining with a faint silver light under the moonlight, was against Zheng Xun's throat.

Huo Xifei's voice rang out coldly: "Master Zheng Xun is quite skilled!"

"Oh, Master Huo's skills are amazing!" Zheng Xun seemed not to notice the tip of the sword at his throat. He leaned against the wall and laughed, "But this sneak attack shouldn't be done by a gentleman like Master Huo, right?"

"It seems that Master Zheng Xun is indeed no ordinary person. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, he's also very sharp-minded. However, the word 'gentleman' should be considered according to the target." Huo Xifei smiled and said, "Tell me, what exactly are your intentions in breaking into the Yuan Mansion at night?"

"What if I don't tell you?" Zheng Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Then you can die!" Huo Xifei pushed his sword forward, and the tip of the sword gently drew a faint blood mark on Zheng Xun's throat.

Zheng Xun didn't even frown: "Master Huo, are you planning to deal with me right here?"

"That depends on your performance!" Huo Xifei sneered, "If you're willing to cooperate, there might be a way out, don't you think? Master Zheng Xun, or should I call you Ghost Face, or the Big Boss?"
