After escaping from the Imperial College, Gui Cangwu was as light as a swallow and like a ghost, climbing over eaves and walls, and rushing towards the south of the city.

"Nalan Qingcheng, this crazy woman!" Gui Cangwu cursed in his heart.

Last night, he suddenly received a mysterious mission: ambush the woman who will go to the dining hall with Bai Yuheng, the teacher of the Imperial College, at noon today, and make sure that only minor injuries are caused and no harsh actions are taken.

What Gui Cangwu never anticipated was that the target of this mission was once again the princess Nalan Qingcheng. Thanks to his quick reflexes, agility, and masterful control of his own martial arts, he was able to successfully injure the opponent without causing her death. Otherwise, he wondered if his great-uncle, several years his junior, would have broken his neck or even pulverized him.

Gui Cangwu thought about it over and over again, and felt that such a strange and unique task could only be thought of by a woman like Nalan Qingcheng... Although he didn't know why she wanted to hire someone to "assassinate" him, but considering the generous reward, Gui Cangwu resolutely accepted the business.

At the same time, in the Imperial College, because the assassin was highly skilled in martial arts and had already escaped, the guards had no choice but to curse angrily and hurried forward to ask if the princess was safe.

"I am fine, but Master Bai is injured. Send him to the hospital immediately." Hua Qingcheng hurriedly supported Bai Yuheng, whose face looked slightly pale, and gave orders to the guards.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The guards responded in unison.

Before he finished speaking, several guards stepped forward to help Bai Yuheng up, but he nimbly dodged to the side.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. There are differences between men and women. They are all women. What's more... what's more, all the doctors in the academy's clinic are women..." Bai Yuheng gritted his teeth and insisted, enduring the severe pain in his back.

In fact, the protection between men and women is secondary. The real reason why Bai Yuheng is so cautious is that he must not let others see the wolf head totem on his chest. This is the key point.

It turns out that the Gongyang royal family of Lengyue Kingdom has always had a tradition: after the birth of a royal descendant, a special person would tattoo a wolf head totem on their body. Women would have the totem tattooed on their backs, while men would have it on their chests.

If the doctors saw the wolf head totem on his body, his true identity would undoubtedly be completely exposed. For this reason, Bai Yuheng would never allow a doctor to treat his injuries no matter what.

Hua Qingcheng glanced at the blood oozing out of the dart-hit Bai Yuheng's back and couldn't help but scold him, "It's come to such a critical moment, and you're still worrying about these things?"

What Hua Qingcheng had never expected was that the man before her would once again risk his own life to protect her. She was just acting; after all, only in a fierce, life-or-death battle would the other man let his guard down.

This way, Hua Qingcheng could take the opportunity to test out Bai Yuheng's martial arts moves. Moreover, she had the precious artifact, the Heavenly Silkworm Robe, to protect her, so she wouldn't be in any danger at all...

"I can go back and bandage it myself. Your Highness, please return to the palace." Bai Yuheng endured the pain, forced a smile on the corner of his mouth, and politely declined the kindness of Hua Qingcheng and the guards.

"How can that be? You were injured while saving me." Hua Qingcheng's beautiful eyes were full of worry. She stared at Bai Yuheng closely, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

"Really, there's no need. It's just a minor injury. It's no big deal." Bai Yuheng's face was as pale as paper, but he still tried to force a smile to comfort Hua Qingcheng.

"Well, since Master Bai insists so much, let's go back and treat the wound early." Seeing Bai Yuheng so stubborn, Hua Qingcheng nodded helplessly, pretending to let go of the arm that was supporting Bai Yuheng, and turned around to leave.

However, just when everyone thought Hua Qingcheng was about to leave, she suddenly turned around, a look of determination and decisiveness in her eyes. She instantly attacked, her movements as fast as lightning, and a sharp knife-handed knife came down fiercely towards Bai Yuheng's neck!

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present, especially the Imperial College guards, who stared with wide eyes in disbelief. Bai Yuheng was caught off guard, too caught off guard to even react; he could only watch helplessly as the fatal blow struck him.

For a split second, time seemed to freeze, and the air was filled with tension. Under the gaze of the crowd, Bai Yuheng's eyes widened in shock, and then his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"What are you looking at? Are you just going to watch Master Bai get injured and bleed to death? Send him back to Anxiang Pavilion right away!" Hua Qingcheng's eyes were sharp and her tone was cold as she scolded the guards of the Imperial College directly.

"Yes, Your Highness." The guards did not dare to delay and responded in unison.

Since Bai Yuheng's injury was on his back, the guards immediately and carefully let Bai Yuheng lie on the stretcher after hearing the order, and then carried him back to the room in Anxiang Pavilion steadily.

"Young Master, Young Master, what happened to you?" Zizhu was horrified to see Bai Yuheng returning injured and unconscious.

Hua Qingcheng glanced at Zizhu leisurely and said meaningfully, "Master Bai was injured by an assassin, but he refused to ask a doctor to treat his wound. I had no choice but to apply medicine to him myself..."

Upon hearing this, Zizhu's body trembled violently, her face turning pale in an instant, and she stammered hurriedly, "After all, the young master is unmarried and still a pure virgin. Naturally, he doesn't like his body to be seen by women outside. Or... or let Zizhu bandage... for the young master..."
