Nalan Xice put her down in the middle of nowhere. In a flash, the two were surrounded by a dozen men in black.
"Where are your people?" Jiuranling asked.
" I didn't ask them to follow me tonight." Nalan Xice stood in front of her." I sent them to do something else."”
"It's dangerous for you to be alone." Jiu Ranling frowned. I only know a little bit of martial arts. It's already good enough that I don't drag you down.”
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. I've already sent a letter to inform them, and they'll be here soon.”
The men in black charged forward. Nalan Xice protected her while dealing with the assassins.
Even though Nalan Xice's martial arts were the best of the best, protecting her while dealing with so many first-class experts was a little difficult. Jiu Ranling didn't care if Nalan Xice's words about his subordinates arriving soon were true or if he was just making it up to make her feel at ease. She finally made up her mind and took out the small tube she carried with her and opened it to the sky.
"Bang!" A huge firework bloomed in the night sky, extremely dazzling. Seeing this, the assassin couldn't help but hesitate. Nalan Xice took the opportunity to kill two more people and turned to look at Jiu Ran Ling with some doubt.
" Nalan Xice," Jiu Ran Ling said, her eyes as firm as a rock." I'm telling you now, you're also in my peace!”
Nalan Xice's breathing suddenly became erratic. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiu Ran Ling, his gaze intoxicating.
Jiu Ranling forced herself to calm down. She caught a glimpse of a person who was about to sneak attack Nalan Xice from the corner of her eye. She raised her right hand lightly and the person fell to the ground.
Following her attack, five men in white jumped over the wall and fought with the men in black.
" That's…" Nalan Xice focused and let go of Jiu Ran Ling.
"The person my brother sent to protect me.”Jiu Ran Ling retreated from the battle circle." You don't have to worry about me anymore. Those people will definitely protect me. Go ahead."
Nalan Xice nodded. The next moment, he drew the flexible sword at his waist and his figure turned into lightning.
The assassins were quickly wiped out. Soon after, Nalan Xice's subordinates also arrived. By then, the five white-robed men had already disappeared.
Nalan Xice and his subordinates were whispering something, but Jiuranling didn't notice. She frowned and stared at the corpses on the ground, feeling even more strange.
The assassins who had tried to assassinate him earlier were different from the previous ones. The previous assassins knew that there was someone in the carriage, but they did not do anything. They were focused on targeting Nalan Xice. It was only after she left the carriage that someone wanted to harm her. But this time, she seemed to have been included from the beginning.
It wasn't easy enough for them to kill Nalan Xice, but they still split their forces to take her life. If they wanted to capture her to threaten Nalan Xice, how would they know that Nalan Xice would be threatened because of her? Moreover, taking hostages didn't seem like the style of a death warrior. Or…was she one of their assassination targets?
Jiu Ran Ling was frightened by her own thoughts. She slowly approached the body of an assassin, trying to find some clues. However, there was nothing unusual about the assassin.
Was she worrying too much? Just as she was about to get up and leave, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind. She grabbed the sword in the assassin's hand and untied the knot on the tassel on the sword. A miniature token the size of a fingernail fell into Jiuran Ling's hand.
Looking at the plum blossom engraved on the sign, Jiuran Ling felt a chill from head to toe!
"What's wrong?" Nalan Xice suddenly stood beside her and looked down at her.
Jiu Ran Ling was shocked and instinctively retreated, but she forgot that she was still squatting and fell to the ground.
Nalan Xice frowned and extended his hand.""Why are you so rash? It's not like you at all. Are you injured?"
Jiu Ranling clenched the plum seal in her hand tightly, causing her entire body to ache. She ignored Nalan Xice's worried gaze and got up to run.
"Ling-er!" An anxious shout came from behind.
Jiu Ran Ling stood by the river.
It was late at night. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and the boat lights in the river gradually disappeared. In this empty night, she had long lost track of where the lamp that belonged to her was. Did it go downstream smoothly, or did it disappear into the water halfway?
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiu Ran Ling turned around and met Nalan Xi's slightly frightened eyes.
She lowered her head and handed over the plum seal in her hand.
" This..." Nalan Xice's tone rose.
"Did Mei Luoxiu do this?" She heard her own cold voice.
"No." Nalan Xice retorted without hesitation.
"Don't forget that he's still a member of the Mei Luo family.”She clenched her fists." And he is also the one who knows your whereabouts. If he didn't inform us, how could we have…"
"It won't!" Nalan Xice interrupted Jiu Ranling, his tone firm and decisive." I believe him. Xiu was different from the other members of the Mei Luo family.”
Jiu Ran Ling glanced at him. Silence.
"As for you, how did you recognize this plum seal? It's the mark of the Meiluo family's sacrifice warrior? How did you find it?"
Jiu Ran Ling smiled lightly. How would Nalan Xice know that this plum seal was a nightmare that she would never forget in her entire life? It was the lamp that brought her and Brother Qing to hell!
She finally met Nalan Xice's eyes and smiled innocently like a child.""Nalan Xice, what if I say that the Thousand Plume is actually a Thousand Miles Snow Plume?”
Nalan Xice's expression changed drastically.
From his reaction, Jiu Ran Ling already knew the answer. She turned her back and remembered the words " You are also in my peace ". Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
It turned out that Nalan Xice already knew Brother Qing's true identity.
It turned out that those thoughts of leaving the palace were just her wishful thinking.
You are also in my peace.
How ironic!
