"But I thought the old man definitely didn't want to see me."
"So I didn't go to Chang'an City."
"But this time, I have no choice but to do it."
Ximen Jie picked up the wine glass and drank it all again.
Yi Suiyun frowned.
"You mean, someone paid a high price to assassinate Xiao Ning?"
"Not only did they invite you, but they also invited so many killers?"
"Are they all top ten experts?"
"Um."
"That's not right..." Shen Qinghe frowned. "Anyone who can offer such a high price is definitely not an ordinary person. But if it's Tian Zhongxun, it doesn't make sense. After all, Tian Zhongxun didn't even know Xiao Ning had joined the Shenji Pavilion at the time, let alone know his whereabouts."

But if he knew the truth, what do you think would happen?" Ximen Jie smiled sinisterly. "But later, Prince Qi Tian Zhongxun led his troops into Chang'an, which may have made Emperor Feng realize that he couldn't get rid of Prince Ning first. In addition, Xiao Ning chose to lie low, which made Emperor Feng temporarily give up this idea. So, Tian Zhongxun indirectly helped Junior Brother!"

Shen Qinghe was suddenly speechless.
How could such a thing actually happen?!
