Seeing Xia Sen's worried expression, the Ghost Doctor took several gulps of wine from a gourd and muttered to himself.
"As the saying goes, one fears longing, yet longing has already arrived; when longing comes, there is nowhere to hide, and a trace of it shows between the brows."
"Some people suddenly lose their heart in the heart of someone far away."
"I never expected that such a young boy would fall in love so quickly. It's truly sad and lamentable!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Sen immediately understood that the Ghost Doctor was subtly criticizing him.
"Master, instead of helping me think of a solution, you're just making sarcastic remarks."
"Have I been particularly filial to you these days?"
"Did you find some good medicinal herbs? I'll give them all to you."
"How can you not help your apprentice?"
Gui coughed a few times, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Well... I can't make decisions about matters of the heart."
"The little princess was kidnapped by the Shadow Alliance. Now, aren't the Prince and Miss Xu trying to find a way to save the little princess?"
"Just trust the prince and the others, and stop worrying about things unnecessarily."
Xia Sen looked at the moonlight on the horizon and said, "This matter is different."
"Although the prince and my sister are going to great lengths to search for the little princess, I also want to be of some use."
"I also want to save the little princess; I don't want anything to happen to her."
"The little princess is so delicate and frail. I wonder if she would be afraid if she encountered any danger."
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling a deep self-loathing for his inability to save the little princess.
Seeing how deeply he had fallen into this predicament, the Ghost Doctor sighed helplessly.
"Sigh... If you're so worried, you can talk to Duan Nian and the others and ask them to bring the little princess with them when they go looking for her again."
"Um."
Xia Sen's gaze was deep as he stood still, staring into the distance at the moon on the horizon, as if he had suddenly transformed into the face of a little princess...
Outside the mansion, Pei Xuan and Duan Nian stood opposite the Shadow Alliance members.
"If you're not going to take action, then we will."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to kill us, then come on. We've been tricked by you today, so let's see whose blade is tougher."
The Shadow Alliance members didn't beg for mercy at all; they immediately raised their swords to fight against Pei Xuan and his group.
The two sides immediately got into a heated argument and fought fiercely, with swords flashing and shadows flying everywhere.
As their fight intensified, injuries occurred on both sides, with many wounded lying on the ground, some with their limbs severed.
A river of blood flowed... a sight that was truly shocking.
"The Shadow Alliance is so powerful, your people won't be able to defeat them, will they?" Xu Yuehuai suddenly felt a little worried that Qi Guze's people might let the Shadow Alliance escape.
Qi Guze, however, had great trust in the guards he had trained.
"Don't worry, they will definitely be able to keep the Shadow Alliance members here. After all, they are my right-hand men whom I trained."
"Although the Shadow Alliance members are particularly skilled in the art of killing, their swordsmanship is wide and sweeping, all for offense, and their defense is very weak."
"My men are not only good at attacking, but also particularly good at defending. They will definitely find the Shadow Alliance's weakness and deliver a fatal blow."
"The people from the Shadow Alliance will definitely not escape!"
Xu Yuehuai was relieved after hearing this and stood with Qi Guze on the high building, watching the fight below.
As the struggle between the two sides progressed, just as Qi Guze had predicted, the Shadow Alliance members did indeed reveal a weakness, and they were stabbed by Pei Xuan and his group.
"Your Highness! Just as you said, the Shadow Alliance lost!" Xu Yuehuai excitedly tugged at Qi Guze's sleeve.
"Okay, it seems it's time for us to go down."
Then, Qi Guze put his arm around Xu Yuehuai's waist and flew down with her.
Using his internal energy, Qi Guze suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest; his hands weren't fully healed yet...
Xu Yuehuai, however, did not notice this anomaly.
When they arrived at the mansion, they saw that Pei Xuan and the others had already subdued the Shadow Alliance members in the courtyard.
"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you."
"But don't even think about getting any useful information out of me."
"No matter what you ask us, we will absolutely not tell you."
"If you're going to do it, then do it now!"
The Shadow Alliance members had no intention of betraying their superiors; they only sought death.
Seeing their resolute attitude, Xu Yuehuai sneered.
"You have been lurking in several countries for so many years, just to cause chaos in the four countries."
"Now that your plans have been ruined by us, you want to kill us."
"I don't think it's wrong for you to attack us, but why would you target a young girl?"
"If you don't tell me the whereabouts of the little princess today, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."
As she said this, she took out the whip from her waist.
He walked step by step toward those people and came to stand in front of them.
Those people saw that she was just a little girl and didn't take her seriously.
"So what if we kidnapped the little princess? She's just someone abandoned by the Dark Moon Kingdom; she has absolutely no value."
"If you keep her with you, at most you can send her to another country for a marriage alliance when she grows up."
"Perhaps she's just a pawn in your eyes!"
The people in the Shadow Alliance had no idea what the little princess meant to Xu Yuehuai.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai became furious.
She cracked her whip and lashed it at the Shadow Alliance members.
"Who told you that the little princess is just a pawn in my eyes?"
"She's my sister, one of the most important people in my life."
When she was being framed and plotted against by the people of the Underworld, only the little princess truly believed in her.
When she was almost killed by Ah Dong, it was the little princess who saved her.
To her, the little princess is sunshine, a source of joy.
She would absolutely not allow anyone to harm the little princess, nor would she allow anyone to insult the little princess.
The members of the Shadow Alliance were whipped by Xu Yuehuai until their flesh was torn to pieces.
"Why aren't you telling me where the little princess is?"
"Speak up!"
"If you don't speak up, you're going to lose your lives!"
However, those people still didn't speak.
After Xu Yuehuai had been hitting them for a long time, his hands were starting to ache, and one of them collapsed to the ground.
When Pei Xuan sent people to check, they found that the person had already died.
The guard reported to Qi Guze and the others, "This person is dead."
Xu Yuehuai staggered, but this wasn't the first time she had killed someone, and this time the person she killed was someone who deserved to die. Yet, she still felt somewhat uneasy.
