ticed a thin bamboo tube extending directly from the window to Nangong Ye's bed. There was a curtain blocking the bed, and the bamboo tube went through a small hole deliberately cut out of the curtain...Chang Lingyue's brows furrowed. Chen Zhiqin had already said this much; she couldn't possibly disregard Chen Zhiqin's face for the sake of a lowly servant like this.

But if she agrees to Chen Zhiqin's request, wouldn't that compromise her dignity

Chang Lingyue gave a cold smile and said, “Miss, since Zhiqing has pleaded on your behalf, you don’t have to kowtow. Just kneel down and apologize.”

This Chang Lingyue is so arrogant, she even wants Nan Gong Ye to kneel for her.

This is outrageous! She's so out of line, it's unbelievable!

When Chang Lingyue said this, Qingxuan's hand hidden in her sleeve moved.

She was always ready to take out the anesthetic spray.

Qing Xuan's face grew increasingly ugly, but unfortunately, she was wearing a veil, so no one could notice her expression.

Chen Zhiqin thought that as a servant, she didn't need to bow down. Everyone could take a step back, and it would be the best way to end this.

Who knew that Qingxuan would simply let out a cold snort.

Qingxuan: "Master Chang, don't think that just because this Zhenbao Pavilion is your territory, you can take advantage of people."

Chang Lingyue was instantly furious when she heard this.

Just now, she was giving Chen Zhiqin face by letting this lowly servant not have to bow.

Chen Zhiqin's face darkened: "This young lady, it was Zhiqin who pleaded for you just now, that's why I spared your servant from kowtowing. Now you have the audacity to disrespect me Don't blame Chang Lingyue for being impolite..."

Qingxuan let out a cold snort, she was indeed not polite!

As soon as Chen Zhiqin finished speaking, a sudden burst of water mist came towards her.

"Beware, boss!"

The four assassins who had previously besieged Nangong Ye now charged towards Qing Xuan.

Just as the four assassins, blades in hand, charged toward Qingxuan, Nangong Ye unleashed astonishing speed.

Whoever dares to touch him!

Nan Gong Ye's movements were extremely fast, like a white lightning bolt. He flashed to pick up the dagger on the ground, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

Just as he leaped forward to strike down the four with a single blow, there was a muffled bang, and five people fell to the ground simultaneously.

Besides the four assassins, there is also Chang Lingyue.

Just as the assassin fell, Qingxuan saw Nangong Ye standing behind him, holding a dagger and radiating murderous intent.

NanGong Ye's overwhelming killing intent held Qing Xuan in place. She stared blankly at the man before her, who resembled the King of Hell himself.

Four assassins fell, and under inertia's sway, Nangong Ye nearly pierced Qingxuan's neck.

The tip of the dagger was only about three inches away from Qingxuan's neck.

She... almost died under Nangong Ye's dagger.

A drop of cold sweat slid down Qingxuan's forehead.

The panic and fear that flashed in her vibrant eyes at this moment pierced Nangong Ye's heart.

Is she afraid of him

Just now, he almost hurt Qingxuan.

At this moment, the chilling killing intent on Nangong Ye's body vanished in an instant. He lowered his eyes gloomily, like a loyal dog who had done something wrong.

He feared Qingxuan and therefore disliked her.

A bitterness surged up my throat.

"Sorry..."

Just as Nangong Ye was about to apologize, Qingxuan suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Run!"

If she had martial arts now, she would definitely have jumped out the window with Nangong Ye.

But unfortunately, she didn't. Nangong Ye's legs were only just able to walk and weren't suitable for strenuous exercise, let alone jumping out of windows.

A warmth and softness, belonging to Qingxuan, came from her palm.

Regretful and forlorn, Nangong Ye raised his head in surprise to look at Qingxuan.

Does she, not fear him

However, at this moment, all he saw in Qingxuan's eyes was concern and tension.

Qingxuan: "Hurry! Hurry! It's too late, the government is coming!"

Qingxuan dragged Nangong Ye and was about to run downstairs to the Treasure Pavilion.

However, a young servant was already running up to them.

Qingxuan once again looked at Nangong Ye with worry: "You should be able to handle these little servants, right"

At this time, Nangong Ye's mood was like encountering the dawn and rainbow after experiencing a storm.

He was in high spirits.

Nan Gong Ye clasped Qing Xuan's hand.

Nangong Ye's soft voice sounded in Qing Xuan's ear: "Rest assured, they can't stop me."

A sudden dizziness.

Qingxuan found herself being carried horizontally by Nangong Ye. a familiar and bone-chilling sword energy came charging towards her.Qingxuan saw that Nangong Ye's eyes, one second ago still pleading for a hug like a big golden retriever, changed when he saw the A...
