Hearing this, he immediately became furious.

What's the meaning?

Even if someone is handsome, you can't insult them. Just look at their mouth; it ruins their good looks.

Su Muyao immediately kicked him, saying, "Go to hell!"

Nangong Xu was kicked away by Su Muyao.

A group of ministers, accompanied by their female relatives, happened to witness this scene from a short distance away.

Among them, Old Man Nangong wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Nangong Xu never expected that the little princess would suddenly make a move. She looked so small, but he never imagined that she would have such skills.

Before he could dodge, he was kicked away and fell face-first to the ground, his forehead touching the ground.

When he got up again, he saw blood dripping from Nangong Xu's forehead.

After getting up, his anger level soared, thinking that he had never suffered such grievances since he was a child.

He immediately reached out and swiftly slashed at Su Muyao. If this palm strike had actually hit Su Muyao, it would probably have cleaved her in two.

The little girl dodged at a ghostly, tricky angle and quickly returned to Nangong Xu's back. Then, she stretched out a leg and flew out again in a parabola.

Su Muyao thought about how she had been practicing those secret manuals in her spatial dimension for the past three years.

If you get hit by such a half-baked person, wouldn't that be like slapping yourself in the face?

Everyone stared in disbelief, wondering how this person had suddenly taken flight again.

Nangong Xu never imagined that the little girl in front of him could actually dodge his full-force palm strike.

I clearly couldn't sense any internal energy from this girl. Could it be that she's a master of internal energy far superior to me, which is why I couldn't sense it?

But then I thought about it again and realized that wasn't right. I didn't detect any fluctuations in internal energy when this person made a move.

Long Yuan had just changed his clothes in the East Palace when his subordinates reported that someone was making things difficult for the young princess and that a fight had broken out.

Long Yuan used his inner strength to quickly rush towards the palace gate.

As soon as they arrived, they saw a man lying on the ground. They came up to Su Muyao and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Su Muyao nodded.

Long Yuan became anxious and pulled Su Muyao over to examine her from top to bottom.

Su Muyao slapped Long Yuan's hand away: "I'm not physically injured, but my heart is broken. What this person said was disgusting. What do you think should be done with him?"

Long Yuan looked at the man lying on the ground groaning.

He snorted coldly: "Hmph, what audacity! How dare you lay a hand on the Grand Preceptor? Guards, seize him!"

The old man from afar couldn't stand still. He hurriedly ran to the Crown Prince and knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, it is this old minister's fault for failing to educate his son properly. I hope Your Highness can give this old minister some face and let this matter drop. When my son returns, this old minister will certainly discipline him properly."

Long Yuan looked at the middle-aged Nangong and sneered inwardly, "What? Could it be that you, sir, ordered him to do this? Otherwise, how dare he flirt with the current imperial advisor?"

Old Man Nangong quickly shook his head, "This old minister is wronged! This old minister has truly failed in raising his son. Perhaps it is because my son admires Her Highness the Princess that he acted so presumptuously."

The Crown Prince, not wanting to listen to his rambling, turned to Su Muyao and asked, "What is your opinion on this, Yao Yao?"

"He first flirted with me, the princess, and then insulted me."

"Since Lord Nangong also knows that he has failed in his duty to raise his son, then what do you suggest we do?"

Su Muyao directly passed the buck to Old Man Nangong.

After all, before Long Yuan arrived, he had already poisoned Nangong Xu.

This poison is colorless and odorless, but it causes people to start feeling itchy all over after ten days.

It won't heal until the skin and flesh on the body are scratched so badly that it's unbearable to look at, and it takes 15 days of continuous stitches.

Now it's old man Nangong who's in a difficult position.

If I were to speak lightly of this, it would be seen as covering up something, but I love my own son dearly!

"This, this, I do not know."

"Since they don't know, then give them 80 lashes as a warning to others. Otherwise, where will the young princess's dignity be? In the future, anyone can insult the young princess."

Old Man Nangong's eyes widened in disbelief. "Eighty strokes of the cane! My son is practically half dead."

After saying that, he pulled Su Muyao away.

Nangong Xu was dragged away by the guards.

His Highness the Crown Prince has already given the order, so they naturally need to supervise it properly.

Old Man Nangong watched as his son was brutally beaten 80 times, and he fainted from the pain.

When they went back for treatment, the doctor said that the injury had damaged his genitals and he might not be able to...

Old Man Nangong was filled with remorse at home, realizing he had been bewitched and influenced by his wife's pillow talk.

Thinking about it, who is that princess? How could my good-looking but useless son possibly have any designs on her?

Long Yuan led Su Muyao to a pavilion not far away to rest.

Just then, Long Yuan's subordinate came to report: "Master, something has happened over there."

Then the person who came was about to whisper something to Longyuan.

"We're all on the same side, so just say it."

"Yes, there might be someone coming to rescue the hostages in the western suburbs. The people patrolling the valley said that a large force is heading there, so they came to report."

Su Muyao was completely confused. What hostage?

Upon hearing this, Long Yuan immediately got up and was about to leave. Su Muyao probably thought he was going to fight, so she excitedly tugged at Long Yuan's sleeve.

"Take me with you! I've never seen you fight using internal energy before!"

Long Yuan thought that his plan would be sufficient to protect the little girl, so he nodded.

…

When Long Yuan arrived with his men, they could already hear the sounds of swords clashing in the distance.

Su Muyao, on the other hand, was filled with excitement and cautiously followed behind Long Yuan as they approached the front.

From afar, a large group of masked men could be seen flying around, rising and falling, numbering around a hundred.

Those surrounded in the middle were clearly soldiers of the Great Dynasty, and their martial arts skills were obviously not as good as those of the masked men.

Long Yuan arranged for Su Muyao to stay in a secluded spot, and then led the remaining men to surround and attack the group of men in black.

Su Muyao noticed with her sharp eyes that Long Yuan, who had just joined the battle, seemed to have been injured before. His clothes were not torn, but blood was oozing from his abdomen.

It was clear that the men in black had also noticed them, and their attack became even more ferocious.

We will launch a full-scale attack on Longyuan from all directions.

Gradually, it became apparent that Long Yuan had sustained some minor injuries.

Just then, another large group of people appeared from afar. Upon closer inspection, they were dressed the same as the people besieging Longyuan, so it was obvious that they were from the enemy side.

The man in black who had just arrived immediately spotted Su Muyao, who was hiding to the side.

A long sword flew rapidly toward Su Muyao's heart.

Su Muyao never imagined that just watching the excitement would lead to someone attacking her.

Without further hesitation, he immediately pulled out a gun from his spatial storage and began firing in rapid succession.

With a series of rapid bursts, the 20-odd newly arrived men in black, who were leading the group, all fell to the ground dead in an instant.

The bizarre scene here caused the people fighting over there to stop abruptly.

In just a moment, most of the remaining men in black suddenly attacked Su Muyao from behind.
