Chapter 80 Don’t be afraid, Miss Xiyan, I’m here!

Xiyan didn't expect that not only Helian Feng came to Fanyin Temple, but Chu Jin was also there.

However, at this moment, Chu Jin looked at Xiyan with sparks in his eyes and an unfriendly expression.

Xiyan felt Chu Jin's hostile gaze, and her heart tightened. She didn't dare to stay any longer.

She bowed lightly to Chu Jin again, turned around and left in a hurry, her figure quickly disappearing in the corridor outside the hall.

Chu Jin stared at the slender figure and narrowed his eyes slightly...

After Xi Yan came out of Fanyin Temple, she thought to herself:

Why did Helian Feng and Chu Jin suddenly appear at Fanyin Temple? Could it be that they were coming for him?

But she was just a maid in the Regent's Palace. Even if they had doubts about her identity, it would be enough to send someone to follow her secretly. Why would the crown prince and the imperial teacher mobilize such a large force and come in person?

Also, just now in the hall, her intuition told her that someone was watching her every move in the dark. Could it be the prince's men?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She couldn't help but quicken her pace, wanting only to get back to the Regent's Palace as quickly as possible to avoid any complications.

We were about to leave the Zen forest and step onto the main road.

At this moment, Xiyan only felt a black shadow flash before her eyes, and two masked men in black jumped out from the woods on both sides like ghosts, holding shining long swords, blocking her way.

One of them had a deep and hoarse voice, as if coming from hell:

"Stop, and leave your life behind!"

Xiyan was startled, but did not show any panic:

"Who are you? What hatred do I have against you? Why do you want to kill me?"

"You saw something you shouldn't have seen, heard something you shouldn't have heard, someone wants your life, today, you must die!"

Xiyan's heart skipped a beat!

At first, she thought it was a test from the assassins sent by Chu Jin. However, after hearing what they said, the image of the man who had a secret meeting with the concubine in the dark room suddenly appeared in her mind. When she recalled the concubine's sudden request to return to find the hairpin, a chill could not help but surge in her heart:

Could it be that the Concubine Dowager had teamed up with that man to kill her and silence her? Who was that man that actually made the Concubine Dowager kill someone in her own household?

She suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

At this time, two men in black had already raised their swords and stabbed forward. The wind from the swords whistled and cut through the air.

Xiyan subconsciously wanted to use martial arts to fight back, but she caught a glimpse of a corner of a red robe faintly visible in the jungle beside her, and her heart trembled.

Chu Jin is here too?

If I show off my martial arts here, wouldn't I immediately expose my identity?

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, turn around and run back, shouting for help as she ran:

"Help! Someone help!"

If she ran to the main hall of Fanyin Temple, even if there were people in the temple who wanted to kill her, they would not commit murder in broad daylight, right?

As long as she ran to the palace gate, she would find another way to escape.

Seeing this, the two men in black snorted coldly and chased after him with swords in hand.

As they watched, they swung their swords with great force, almost hitting Xiyan's back.

Xiyan cleverly dodged the attacks while pretending to be a weak woman who knew nothing about martial arts. She staggered, fell, and got up again, continuing to shout for help at the top of her lungs.

The two men in black were also furious. They didn't expect that this weak woman could run so fast!

Just as they were about to catch up, a figure flew up in front and pulled Xiyan into his arms.

Xiyan raised her eyes suddenly and saw clearly that the person hugging her was actually Crown Prince Helian Feng!

"Don't be afraid, Miss Xiyan, I'm here!"

Xiyan didn't expect that Helian Feng would actually come to her rescue. She couldn't tell whether he was sincere or not.

However, she had no choice but to rely on him to solve the dilemma. She pretended to be frightened, clutched Helian Feng's clothes tightly as if asking for help, and said tremblingly:

"Your Highness, please save me! Someone wants to kill me!"

Helian Feng looked at the panic-stricken and tearful beauty in his arms, and for a moment, he was a little dazed.

When the two killers saw that it was Helian Feng, they looked at each other, obviously surprised and flustered. Then they stopped fighting and quickly disappeared into the jungle, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Helian Feng looked at the slightly trembling woman in his arms, his nose filled with the faint floral scent from her body.

There were still lingering tears on the woman's eyelashes, which looked like dew-soaked butterfly wings in the sunlight, causing him to unconsciously tighten the grip of his palm on her waist.

"Your Highness..."

The unfamiliar masculine scent made Xiyan blush slightly, and she gently pushed his chest with her fingertips through the gauze sleeves.

As she ran, her scattered hair became tangled in the intertwined fabrics of their clothes. She didn't dare look up, only hearing the turbulent sound of her own heartbeat, drowning out the rustling of the mountain wind through the pine trees in the distance.

"They have already retreated, you..."

Helian Feng then realized that he was being rude and quickly let go of her hand. When he took a half step back, the flutter of his sleeves created a gust of wind, making Xiyan's hair even more messy.

He looked at her adjusting her clothes, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. The soft touch left on his palm was three times smoother than the newly-earned milk in spring.

"You're frightened! I was just passing by the Zen temple and heard you coming, so I rushed over. Fortunately, I arrived in time. Are you okay?"
