Shang Beiyu looked at the little bandit girl's bright eyes, white teeth, and radiant appearance;

In a daze, he seemed to see another woman with the same smiling face and innocent charm.

At this moment, she is so similar to her.

they……

Holding a crescent-shaped white stone in his hand, Shang Beiyu couldn't help but step forward and walk towards Ji Fengyao.

Ji Fengyao suddenly felt the hairs on her body stand on end, as if she were being stared at by some ferocious beast.

She instinctively turned to look at Shang Beiyu, and it was as if the world had frozen in an instant, leaving only her and that blurry black figure.

It's him!

Why is he back again?!

Shang Beiyu did not walk to Ji Fengyao's side. He stood five or six steps in front of her, clutching the moonstone in his hand and hesitating.

Just as he made up his mind and took another step forward.

Suddenly, a man in black wearing a ghost mask came down from the mountain and urgently reported to him in a telepathic voice: "Your Majesty! Someone in the capital has appeared who has a reaction to Lingyue Baishi!"

"What!" Shang Beiyu gripped the crescent-shaped white stone in his hand even tighter.

He glanced hesitantly at Ji Fengyao, who was standing three steps away as if facing a formidable enemy, before finally withdrawing his attack and turning back to descend the mountain.

Faced with a formidable enemy, Xiao Jianzi, unsure of how to end the situation, hurriedly called out to Shang Beiyu as he was about to leave, "Your Excellency!"

"Return to the capital!" Shang Beiyu summoned his flying sword as he spoke and soared into the air.

He casually reached behind him and grabbed the little callus that was locked in a fierce battle with Shang Xiye, instantly placing it onto his flying sword.

Shang Xiye's attack missed its mark. Upon closer inspection, the little cocoon had vanished without a trace.

Shang Xiye: "???"

Little Cocoon followed Shang Beiyu away on his sword. The remaining masked men in black also received the order to retreat. They immediately turned back and, just as they had come, mysteriously disappeared, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

On the battlefield, apart from Shang Xiye and his group who were still able to gain a slight advantage, everyone else was being routed by the masked men in black.

Chen Shiyu felt incredibly happy!

He wasn't confident in himself, he was confident in His Highness's people;

With His Highness's men making a move, the Ninth Prince will certainly not survive this day!

But to his surprise, in the heat of battle, all the men in black suddenly retreated!

Chen Shiyu immediately panicked and shouted in alarm, "The Ninth Prince is not dead yet! Where have you been? Come back to me now!"

The masked men in black ignored him, as if he were nothing but air.

Ji Fengyao and the others: "???"

The people who were being beaten to death by the masked men in black just a moment ago were all thinking: "???"

Chen Shiyu: "..."

Everyone turned to look at Chen Shiyu: "???"

Chen Shiyu: "!!!"

I had a bad feeling about this, and I started trembling for no reason.

"bite!"

Ji Fengming's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his arm and shouted: "Friends, this was all a conspiracy by the Chen family. Now that Chen Shiyu's accomplice is gone, let's chop up this little bastard and feed him to the dogs to avenge our fallen brothers!"

His words were a wake-up call to those who had been slaughtered like dogs, and immediately aroused public outrage.

The crowd roared in fury, brandishing their swords and charging madly at Chen Shiyu and the Chen family members:

"Chop up that little turtle from the Chen family and feed it to the dogs!"

"Avenge our fallen brothers!"

"Today, the Ninth Prince may be spared, but not a single bastard from the Chen State Duke's mansion shall be spared!"

Chen Shiyu: "!!!"

I have a million "MMPs" in my head, but I don't know whether I should say them or not!

Why didn't those lackeys give him a heads-up before they retreated, so he could have been prepared?

He felt like jumping up and cursing!
