Xiao Chengjin meant that this was just a small matter, the crown prince was making a big fuss.

Although he did not say this sentence out loud, his meaning was this.

Hearing this, Xiao Chengzhen's face sank, and said angrily: "If I have to punish her, could it be that Sixth Brother will stop me as well?"

"You don't dare?"

Xiao Chengjin slightly smiled, lazily looked outside and said: "If the crown prince insists on punishing him, it's naturally not good for Chendi to ask any further."

"Alright!"

Xiao Chengzhen nodded, and his expression slightly eased up.

If Xiao Chengjin did not want to interfere in this matter, then he would not bother with this little brother anymore.

Hearing this, Mu Qianyu, who was standing beside Xiao Chengjin, looked at him in disdain and snorted.

Since she didn't care, why did he bother to drag her back just now?

He might as well not save him.

Although the snort was extremely soft, it was heard by Xiao Chengjin, who had extremely good hearing.

Xiao Chengjin did not turn to look at her, but only pursed his lips and nodded at Xiao Chengzhen: "Then Chendi will take his leave first."

With that, he left the room.

At the same time, Mu Qianyu turned her gaze outside the window. It looked like she had to jump again.

Unexpectedly, she had not moved, and Xiao Chengzhen had not moved either.

Suddenly, a burst of killing intent came out, it was unknown where the black clothed man came from, the Longsword pointed straight at Xiao Chengzhen.

"Protect His Highness!"

Gu Zhao had reacted almost immediately when the assassin appeared.

The sword at his waist was instantly pulled out, blocking the assassin's attack.

The rest of the guards all pulled out their swords, but did not move, and stood in front of Xiao Chengzhen.

Gu Zhao fought with that person, and then a black figure appeared from within, using the same method to stab Xiao Chengzhen, but the aura he gave off was slightly weaker than the person from before.

Mu Qianyu was extremely close to Xiao Chengzhen, so when the assassin attacked, Mu Qianyu's sharp senses caught onto the assassin's scent.

There seemed to be a faint smell of makeup. If one did not smell it carefully, it would be impossible to detect.

Could it be that the assassin was a woman?

The Assassin seemed to have deliberately lured Xiao Chengzhen away, as he deflected the guard's sword attack, his target was still Xiao Chengzhen.

Xiao Chengzhen had no choice but to take action.

As a result, when he was fighting the assassin, Mu Qianyu easily avoided him and walked out the door.

Xiao Chengzhen only thought of assassins, he had no time to care about her, even if he had time and energy.

Thus, Mu Qianyu safely exited the Lanyue House.

"Do you want to return to the Prince Li Palace?"

In the end, just as she took out her Lanyue House, she bumped into Xiao Chengjin who was standing at the entrance.

Mu Qianyu shot him a glance, did not say a word, and turned to leave by herself.

"Aren't you afraid that the crown prince's men will chase after us?"

Xiao Chengjin's voice seemed to contain a bit of a smile.

Mu Qianyu stopped in her tracks, turned around and asked him: "So what, could it be that Prince Qi is willing to waste my time to send me off."

Didn't this person just leave it at that? What was stopping her now?

But God knows that after Xiao Chengzhen took care of the assassin, he would still not chase after her.

Therefore, if she went back alone, she might really fall into Xiao Chengzhen's hands.

"This King happens to be going to visit Third Brother. If you don't mind, you can go with This King."

Xiao Chengjin continued to laugh.

"Even if we were to travel together, if the crown prince were to come after us, wouldn't you just ignore him like you did before?"

Mu Qianyu raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Hur hur."

Hearing that, Xiao Chengjin laughed again, as though he was in a good mood.

"Little girl, you're really interesting."

It was as if he was praising her.

Mu Qianyu couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, as if she was just a little girl in front of him.

But he's only a few years older than me, what is he pretending to be mature for?

He was only eighteen years old. In the modern world, he was just a young adult.

Mu Qianyu pondered deeply on what a modern 18-year-old boy should look like.

After thinking for half a day, he felt that his memories of the Modern World had become a lot blurrier, to the point where he could not even remember what modern people looked like.

But in short, he did not have as many achievements as Xiao Chengjin.

He was clearly 18 years old, but he looked as if he was 38 years old.

Xiao Chengjin followed him.

Mu Qianyu pursed her lips and did not say anything, tacitly agreeing.

"Master!"

Halfway there, suddenly, two figures stepped down, kneeling down on one knee in front of Xiao Chengjin respectfully.

The ones kneeling on the ground were a man and a woman, both of them around the age of seventeen or eighteen.

The man had delicate features, was spirited, and had a straight posture. Looking at his landing, his speed was extremely fast. It was obvious that his martial arts skills were not low.

The lady was also beautiful, her looks were snow-white, especially the pair of Ming Mou s, which were extremely beautiful.

"Yes."

Xiao Chengjin nodded.

The two of them immediately stood up and followed Xiao Chengjin without saying a word.

The moment the woman walked past Mu Qianyu, he suddenly frowned.

It was a very minute movement, but it did not slip past Xiao Chengjin's eyes.

He turned his head and asked in puzzlement, "Is there a problem?"

Even though he was doubtful, there was certainty in his tone.

Mu Qianyu was surprised, her eyebrows knitted together, this person had such a meticulous observation skill.

"The fragrance of your cosmetic powder has exposed her identity."

Her beautiful eyes moved, and Mu Qianyu kind-heartedly reminded her.

When that girl walked past her a moment ago, the fragrance on her body was still very faint, but she was still able to keenly perceive it.

Moreover, this smell was the same as the smell of the assassin who killed Xiao Chengzhen in the Lanyue House.

Although no one would normally notice such minute details, how could the person beside the crown prince be an ordinary person?

Thus, this method was extremely easy to expose.

Since this person wanted to help him, it was rare for Mu Qianyu to open her mouth, if not she would not bother to remind him.

"Ming Mou?"

Xiao Chengjin's footsteps did not stop as his voice suddenly became cold, "Should be punished?"

"Ming Mou..."

The lady behind her paused, and glanced at Mu Qianyu from the corner of her eyes.

The disgusted look disappeared in an instant as he lowered his head and said, "Ming Mou understands her wrongs."

There was a faint hint of disappointment in his tone.

This emotion was not very clear, but Mu Qianyu could hear it clearly, this woman definitely did not know what she was disappointed about.

Something that Mu Qianyu had already detected, how could someone as sharp as the Prince Qi not sense it?

"Ming Mou, don't think about doing something you shouldn't have done."

Xiao Chengjin's voice once again rang out. This time, the tone was obviously ice-cold, without the slightest bit of emotion.

"Ming Mou." His voice clearly paused for a moment. "I know."

Ming Mou?

In the end, Mu Qianyu could not help but turn her head to look at the girl with the unique skill in her hand.

Ming Mou was like water, clear and limpid without ripples. It was just that she was too cold, and within that coldness, there was even a hint of sorrow.

If Xiao Chengjin also turned his head back, he would definitely see the emotion in the depths of Ming Mou's eyes.

Sensing that the lady in front of him had turned her head, Ming Mou turned to look as well.

The two gazes met, and the sadness in Ming Mou's eyes disappeared for a moment. Instead, a hint of hatred crawled up her brows.

Mu Qianyu turned her head back with an indifferent expression.

This woman was completely baffled …
