Bai Lu: "..." Are you trying to kill Sister Lin Shuang?

"Get out!" Shang Xiye's face was gloomy. He glared at the people besides Xique and then finally looked back at Xique. "Tell me in detail what you saw from beginning to end."

Lin Shuang and Bai Lu hunched their shoulders and went out with trepidation.

Xi Que remained unperturbed and casually recounted the events of the evening from the beginning, completely oblivious to the murderous aura emanating from Shang Xiye.

Black Owl chased the boy in green until they reached a large lake near the mountains, where the two jumped onto a small boat one after the other.

The two exchanged over forty blows in a short time. The young man in the blue robe gradually lost ground and was at a disadvantage. Unable to hold on any longer, he began to beg for mercy: "I did save your life, after all. How can you repay kindness with enmity?"

"If you don't have a past relationship with the Ninth Prince's wife, why did you personally bring people here?" Black Owl's men showed no mercy.

Both publicly and privately, the young female bandit is a very important person in his life, and no one should hurt her!

"You...you think those people were brought by me?" The young man in the blue robe was speechless. "If the top assassins under my Donglong Sect were this incompetent, how could they survive in the martial world?"

“I know those people tonight weren’t sent by you, but since you’ve arrived here, it means your people are also waiting for an opportunity to act. To prevent you from harming the Princess, I have no choice but to eliminate this threat first,” Black Owl said, his movements becoming increasingly ruthless.

The young man in the blue robe: "..."

This person is almost losing his mind because of the Ninth Prince's wife. Does he still have any normal judgment?

However, it's good that he's like this.

"Brother Xiao, if I wanted to harm the Ninth Princess Consort, I would simply stay out tonight and watch the show. I could just watch her go mad and die from her internal energy imbalance or become a cripple from then on. Wouldn't that be much easier?"

The young man in the blue robe struggled to parry the attacks, and in a moment of distraction while talking, he was caught off guard when Black Owl grabbed him by the throat.

In a moment of desperation, the young man in the green robe reached out and tightly grasped the pressure point on the black owl's wrist to prevent him from impulsively crushing his own throat, which would have been a huge disaster.

In the chaos, the young man in the green robe tripped over a horizontal oar, his body involuntarily leaning backward, pulling the black owl down with him. The two fell together, causing the light boat to sway from side to side.

Beneath the black owl lay a soft, warm body, while the young man in the blue robe was jolted by the beam inside the boat, letting out a painful cry.

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

Hearing this, Black Owl was puzzled and curiously reached out to lift the white veil that had been loosened slightly from the young man in the blue robe, but was still covering his face.

Who would have thought that beneath the white veil was a smug, smiling mask?

Seeing the slight surprise in Hei Xiao's eyes, the young man in the green robe quickly flipped over and pinned him down, taking the opportunity to strike his pressure points. His smug voice, as clear as a smiling mask, rang out: "You are so reckless. How could you so casually lift someone's veil? Didn't you ever think that if I were a woman disguised as a man, and acted so lightly towards someone, you would be responsible?"

Black Owl snorted coldly, turning his gaze away without bothering to look at him.

Since I'm already under their control, they can do whatever they want with me; I have no reason to waste time chatting with them about these trivial matters.

The young man in the blue robe got up, glanced down at the disheveled Black Owl lying there, and clicked his tongue twice, saying in a roguish tone, "You look quite good in this outfit today, the bright red suits you very well. But you mustn't dress like this to provoke young girls in the future, it's too eye-catching and will ruin a young girl's life."

"If you had no intention of harming the Ninth Princess, why did you accept the job of killing her? Isn't that a contradiction?" Black Owl thought this young man was incredibly wicked, actually doing something that would backfire.
