The sword energy struck, destroying flowers and severing leaves with lightning speed, leaving no way to dodge.
Xie Lingqin's face turned deathly pale, and Bai Yu panicked as well.
Clang—
However, at that moment, the man in white suddenly made a move. His palm strike was as sharp as a blade, barely blocking the sword energy that was about to strike Xie Lingqin's hand. He also knocked the man in red's sword to the ground.
It sounds like a lot, but in reality, everything happens in the blink of an eye.
The man in red was clearly angry. He withdrew his hand and turned abruptly to look at the man in white with a mask. "You're meddling in other people's business."
"No."
The man in white shook his head slightly.
"Oh?" The man in red's narrow eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled. "Could it be that you really have taken a fancy to such unparalleled beauty?"
"right."
With a "yes," Xie Lingqin's pupils slowly turned to the man in white. Bai Yu, who was standing to the side, also came to her senses and stepped forward with lingering fear. She was about to reach out to help Xie Lingqin when she stopped mid-air, thinking of something, and asked nervously, "Hey, are you alright?"
Xie Lingqin then turned her head and met Bai Yu's startled face. "It's alright, your hand..."
"Don't hesitate any longer. If you're too scared to do it, I'll do it myself."
Bai Yu then looked at his hand, picked up a sword from the ground and was about to slash when Xie Lingqin raised her hand to stop him.
Then, Xie Lingqin looked at the man in red, slowly raised the hand holding the jade pendant, and then pointed her chin at the man in white, "Demon, it's obvious that he's helping me, and you can't beat him. If you give me the antidote now, I won't destroy this jade. Then, no matter what happens, you'll at least keep the jade."
The man in red stared intently at Xie Lingqin. After a moment, he parted his red lips slightly and said, "Indeed, the most poisonous heart is that of a beautiful woman, ha." The man in red didn't mince words. He reached into his sleeve and pretended to throw a small bottle at her.
"You take it yourself first," Xie Lingqin said quickly.
The man in red paused, glared at Xie Lingqin, and sneered, "There's only one antidote. Take it or leave it."
Unperturbed by the threat, Xie Lingqin replied in a cool and aloof tone, "I think this jade is unique, whether it's flawed or not."
"You... I'll make you wish you were dead." The man in red seemed genuinely angry, and reached into his sleeve to take out another small bottle.
"You submit first, don't tell me there's only one, unless you don't want this jade." Xie Lingqin threatened, holding the jade in her hand.
The man in red sneered, took one pill and swallowed it himself, then looked at Xie Lingqin and said, "I have a hundred ways to deal with people."
After seeing that the man in red had taken an antidote and was fine, Xie Lingqin took the medicine and quickly handed it to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu never expected that there would actually be an antidote. He glanced at Xie Lingqin and immediately took it.
Sure enough, the black aura on his hand dissipated in no time.
Xie Lingqin then looked at the man in red, defiantly saying, "I have a thousand ways to whip a corpse. If you want..." Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, she coldly said, "The Crown Prince of Western Xia... Ha." As she spoke, she threw the jade pendant away.
However, it was as if his identity had been openly revealed.
The man in red was surprised that Xie Lingqin had seen through his identity so easily, but he didn't show much emotion.
"So you are the Crown Prince of Western Xia. I have long admired you." At this moment, the man in white raised his hand slightly, but did not intend to fight again. Instead, he clapped his hands towards the shadows and said, "Please invite the Crown Prince of Western Xia to come to my residence for a chat."
The guards who had instantly surrounded the Crown Prince of Western Xia laughed, "You think these people can capture me?"
The man in white stood with his hands behind his back, his elegant demeanor exuding a chilling aura.
"That jade pendant is poisoned."
The man in white and Xie Lingqin spoke in unison.
Xie Lingqin suddenly looked at the man in white.
He actually... saw through her little trick. The man in red was closer to her and didn't even notice, but he actually discovered it.
That's right. She cut her palm when she was tightly gripping the jade pendant. Since she was poisoned, her blood was also poisonous. When the man in red touched the jade pendant, he was naturally poisoned as well.
Compared to Xie Lingqin's shock, the man in white only glanced at her for a moment before looking away.
Upon hearing this, the man in red's expression changed drastically. When he looked up again, he stared at the man in white in disbelief, seemingly extremely puzzled.
"Yan She... you are so amazing." Bai Yu exclaimed in amazement.
However, Xie Lingqin shook her head again, "It's not that I'm powerful..." because Xie Lingqin saw that the red-clothed man's face was getting paler and paler.
No matter what, the poison on the jade pendant wasn't potent enough to cause such a rapid reaction in the man in red, unless...
The man in white had somehow already tampered with the man in red.
Moreover, the man in white clearly knew that her blood was poisonous.
The identity of this man in white, the suddenly familiar aura, that aloof and pure temperament...
"Your Highness, the matter has been completed." At this moment, Tingfeng appeared, cupped his hands, and reported.
The man in white glanced at him, then raised his hand, removed his mask, and revealed a face so exquisite it put heaven and earth to shame.
His deep, indifferent gaze gradually settled on Xie Lingqin's face.
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, unsure whether to feel relieved or heavy-hearted at that moment.
"Heh, it's actually the Crown Prince of Beirong himself. I accept my defeat." The poisoned man in red sneered, not struggling at all, accepting his defeat with composure, and calmly followed the guards who surrounded him.
Even though he lost, his demeanor remained slow and graceful, without diminishing his alluring charm. However, after taking two steps, he even turned back to look at Xie Lingqin.
"My beauty, I'm interested in you."
Xie Lingqin's brows furrowed, completely indifferent.
