Ning Qing: So I changed my clothes and just came out for a walk?
The system chuckled: Host…
Ning Qing leaped onto a large, leafy tree and sat leaning against it.
His feet dangled in mid-air, swaying back and forth.
I closed my eyes to rest once again.
As for my wife, the system is keeping an eye on her, so there's no rush.
I'll take a nap first.
Just as Ning Qing was half asleep and half awake.
An anxious voice came from the system: Host, host, something bad has happened! Wake up! The target being protected is in danger.
I'll teleport you there immediately.
Ning Qing heard that his wife was in danger.
Suddenly, she opened her clear eyes.
Opening: Transmission.
(Don't ask why the female lead needs to teleport even though she's already in the palace. Saving lives is urgent, and the palace is just too big to run there in time, so teleporting is the only option.)
Ning Qing felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, followed by a wave of dizziness.
Ning Qing landed under a large tree.
Not far away, flames blazed, accompanied by the clanging of swords.
Looking towards that direction, Ning Qingchao saw a group of palace guards holding torches aloft.
They trapped several people inside.
The people were dressed in different ways; some were dressed as guards, some as eunuchs, and some even as palace maids.
System: Host, the one dressed as a eunuch inside is the target you're protecting. Go there quickly.
Ning Qing stretched out her hand: Give me the little black sword.
The cat system in the space immediately handed over the little black sword.
The next moment, Ning Qing had a black sword in her hand.
Ning Qing swiftly and gracefully flew towards that direction.
They came up behind the group of guards.
He raised his black sword and struck each enemy cleanly and swiftly.
However, after killing two, the guard fell down and let out a wail.
This attracted the attention of those nearby.
Seeing that their companion had fallen, and behind them stood another person dressed in night clothes and holding a weapon.
He shouted, "Who are you?"
They all immediately pointed their swords at Ning Qing.
Ning Qing blinked and deliberately lowered her voice.
"If I said I was from an allied force, would you believe me?"
Guard A spoke up, "Wipe the blood off your sword first, then maybe some people will believe you."
After he finished speaking, the nearby guards raised their swords and slashed at Ning Qing.
Ning Qing wielded her longsword with ease amidst the flashing blades.
Jialan, who was trapped in the middle, heard the commotion from Ning Qing's side.
He took a moment out of his busy schedule to look this way.
Ning Qing moved nimbly, wielding his sword with power, killing one person with each strike, as easily and quickly as slicing cabbage.
He couldn't help but wonder about the person's origins and purpose in being there.
The person killing the guard is clearly not an enemy, but whether they are an ally is debatable.
Jialan saw that Ning Qing killed people extremely quickly.
I couldn't help but increase my speed as well.
Ning Qing fought his way through, creating a bloody path that led them to Garan's side.
When Jialan saw Ning Qing's clear eyes by the firelight, his heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Ning Qing with disbelief.
His attention was entirely focused on Ning Qing, and he didn't notice the large knife coming at him from behind.
Ning Qing leaped up and quickly blocked the blow with her sword.
He raised his foot and kicked the man in the stomach, sending him flying.
As Garan watched this scene, he secretly blamed himself for being careless. How could he be so careless during a battle?
Let's get serious and start fighting again.
