Xiao Tianyuan slowly stepped out from the corner of the wall. "South Yulan, where do you think you're going to escape to?"

Nan Yu Lan pointed his sword at Xiao Tian Yuan and said coldly: "Don't force me!"

"I won't force you. I just want to capture you and bring you to justice. You actually dare to poison Ning Wang. Do you know your crime?" Xiao Tianyuan coldly replied.

"We only have our own masters. Why do you have to go through so much trouble to force our hand?" Nan Yulan let out a long sigh. There was a trace of helplessness in her voice.

"Cut the crap, just surrender!" With a "Zheng" sound, Xiao Tianyuan revealed his sword. The body of the sword was clear and bright, and his sword seemed to be transparent.

With a backhand slash of the Southern Yu Lan sword, they blocked each other. Xiao Tian Yuan immediately thrusted out his sword with lightning speed!

Because they were very close, Xiao Tian Yuan swung his sword at the Southern Yu Lan's veil. Where the veil fell, a pair of black and white eyes could be seen, a face as beautiful as water.

Xiao Tian Yuan was stunned. He had seen this face before, and he hadn't forgotten to take a glance at it. Furthermore, he had never thought of the connection between the Southern Jade Magnolia and the female assassin in Lishan. He could not help but be shocked!

Nan Yu Lan was also startled, she didn't think that Xiao Tian Yuan would take off her veil for the second time. Her parents had died when she was young and had been adopted by her master. She had grown up following her teacher out into the world, and in her young heart, she had heard many legends. When the beautiful woman got married, her gentle husband lifted up the phoenix coronet that hung on his beautiful wife's face.

Xiao Tian Yuan's sword lifted her veil. He stood there in a daze, while Nan Yu Lan attacked with her sword. Just as the sword was about to pierce his chest, the sword tip stopped in front of Xiao Tian Yuan's chest.

Xiao Tian Yuan also came back to his senses at the same time. He said with some ridicule, some helplessness, some ridicule, and some calmness, "I've lost. You can make your move."

Nan Yu Lan laughed. She was intelligent and charming to begin with, so when she laughed, she became even more gentle. It was hard for people to imagine that this famous female killer of the imperial court was actually such a gentle and charming woman.

Xiao Tianyuan was shocked, not because of this woman's beauty, but because he was very close to him. Although they had only met for the second time, they seemed to have known each other for a long time, and were very familiar with each other.

"Your life is in my hands now, if I want your life, it would be as easy as turning my hand!" Nan Yu Lan smiled. The man who had lifted her veil was the one who had killed her senior brother. Before this, she was still yearning for revenge, but now … Her sword was placed right in front of his chest. It was clear that one strike would take his life. However, she hesitated!

"Why aren't you attacking?" He was not afraid, but rather felt that she would not kill him. If she wanted to do it, she only needed to give him her sword, but she did not do it. This made him confirm this point, and it made him even more determined.

Nan Yu Lan slowly withdrew his sword, "Today, if I don't kill you, the next time I see you, I will definitely not let you go!" As she spoke, she jumped all the way and disappeared into the passageway with a few ups and downs.

Xiao Tianyuan slowly opened his eyes. His surroundings were completely silent. Where was South Stream Temple now?

They would definitely have a chance to meet again. However, would he be able to be merciful and spare her the next time they met? Xiao Tianyuan pondered, but did not give his own answer.

A few days later, in the study of the Residence of Prince Rong.

The sunlight from the window shone down on Fang Zinan's white clothes, making them shine even brighter. He had his hands behind his back as he stood in front of the window, and he could see that there was an Azure Dragon lying on the ground.

Xiao Tian Yuan was standing not far behind him.

Fang Zinan suddenly turned his head. "You said that Nanyu Lan was the one who tried to assassinate us at Lishan?"

Xiao Tianyuan nodded: "I'm sure."

"That's strange, since both the Southern Wasteland and the Assassin Emperor have the same martial arts, then they should both be Ning Wang's men. How could they poison Ning Wang?"

"I'm afraid this matter really has something to do with King Xuan!"

Fang Zinan muttered to himself, "In fact, I also have my doubts, but we don't have any evidence. How can we be so sure that it was done by King Xuan?"

"I think so too." Xiao Tianyuan replied. This time, the Emperor sent him and Kong You to investigate the culprit together. And since King Xuan was locked in the mansion, he didn't make any move. Even if everyone suspected him, there was no way to confirm it.

Fang Zinan turned his head and looked at Xiao Tianyuan before asking thoughtfully: "With your skills, how did you manage to run away?"

He was clearly Fang Zinan's best friend, but Xiao Tianyuan was unwilling to speak the truth and could only vaguely reply, "I was careless!"

"The Emperor ordered you to apprehend the murderer, and he was extremely furious about this matter. If you don't complete your mission this time, I'm afraid the Emperor will punish you for your crimes!" Fang Zinan started to worry for his good friend.

Xiao Tianyuan smiled, his eyes filled with determination. "You don't have to worry about me. I know what I'm doing!"

Fang Zinan nodded in agreement, "I know you will find a way!"

Xiao Tian Yuan replied with a calm expression.

"Ying Ying, she …" How is she? " Fang Zinan originally didn't want to ask, but he unconsciously asked because after that time, he hadn't seen Ying Ying for almost half a year.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine now!" Xiao Tianyuan glanced at Fang Zinan. "You also know that this girl Ying Ying has been stubborn since she was young and will never change her mind about things that she has decided on easily. But now that you're on such good terms with the wangfei, how could she not understand?"

"You know that Qing Er and I have a good relationship?" There were hidden meanings within Fang Zinan's words.

Xiao Tianyuan glanced at him. "How can I not see your feelings for her?"

"But, you know my body too …" Fang Zinan pondered and didn't continue.

"I feel that your body is much better now! At least... Perhaps the poison in your body has already been cleansed and there is nothing to worry about! "

"You really think so?" He had been worried that there was a relationship between Shang Yiqing and Xiao Tianyuan, but Xiao Tianyuan's words were frank and open, making Fang Zinan suspicious of him.

"Of course, I've always thought that way!" Xiao Tian Yuan replied with a smile. Actually, after meeting Shang Yiqing, he had a good impression of her, but that feeling was only appreciation for her and had nothing to do with relationships between men and women.

Fang Zinan looked at him again and his lips curved into a smile. He was already very satisfied with his current life. If there had not been so many battles in the imperial court, he would have rather remained indifferent, rather than participate in the dispute over the crown prince's position. Unfortunately, there were some things that he truly had no other choice.
