er footsteps. 。Since you know how to cure this king's poison, I command you, now immediately cure me. 。His tone was icy, carrying an undeniable aura of authority. 。"What benefit does it bring you to c...Su Qingying and the others tacitly surrounded Xuanyuan Rongfei in the middle, never leaving her more than ten steps away.

With a graceful spin, several centipedes turned into two severed parts in an instant. Zhao Tianyu caught the bloody dagger that flew out steadily, and furrowed his brows tightly. He said solemnly, “It’s centipedes! It seems Zhao Ruoqing has returned. Her target is Xuan Yuan Rongfei. Protect her well.”

With the silver needles in her hand, Su Qingying plunged them one after another with pinpoint accuracy. Her brows furrowed, and her eyes glinted like blades as she quickly guessed Zhao Ruoqing's intentions. Her voice was equally heavy: "It seems she has already guessed Nanjiang Huang's intentions and plans to strike first, killing Rong Fei, so that Tianyu can completely sever ties with Ximeng and lose this stronghold."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jinghong's handsome face suddenly turned cold, as if shrouded in a month of frost. A ferocious killing intent shot out in an instant, and the murderous intention towards Zhao Ruqing in his heart soared to its peak.

He had finally gotten his wife, but the next day, someone targeted his newlywed bride. It was no wonder he was furious!

Despite having injuries all over his body, Zhao Tianyu remained composed and reminded in a grave voice: "Be careful! Although they can't directly control the insects like Zhao Ruoqing, they can still use their flutes to command these insects to attack."

"Shoot the horse before shooting the man, capture the king before capturing the thief. Kill those who control the insects first and then we'll talk!" A gleam flashed in her eyes. Having spoken, Su Qingying’s silver needle shot out from her hand towards those few figures in black, the angle was extremely tricky and fierce, leaving them with no way to dodge.

Upon seeing this, a sneer immediately appeared on the black-clothed man's face. His flute music changed, and several centipedes recklessly charged straight at her silver needles!

Su Qingying pressed her brows and narrowed her eyes slightly, refusing to give up. She fired out silver needles again, but as expected, they were all struck by the gu worms themselves!

She couldn't even get close to them with her silver needles, let alone kill the men in black.

"Ugh, no way! There are too many centipedes, we can't even get close to them. This isn't working." A cerulean blue robe, like water flowing, was stained with patches of deep and shallow bloodstains. Besides Su Qingying, others also bore wounds of varying degrees.

Her breathing was a little ragged, Su Qingying panted slightly, her hands moving non-stop. In the blink of an eye, she suddenly remembered the Gu Yueqin she had brought with her, her eyes lit up instantly, “That’s right! The Gu Yueqin!”

"Master, I'll go get it for you!" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei beamed and immediately ran to her room.

Fortunately, her residence wasn't too far from this backyard.

"Be careful." With a reminder, the three of them simultaneously exerted their strength to shield her departure, trying their best to obstruct the tracking of the worm attacks.

"Master, Gu Yueqin has arrived!" Soon, Xuan Yuan Rongfei returned, panting, carrying an ancient qin in her arms.

Seeing this, the hearts of all the black-clad men jumped. They immediately urged their Gu worms to intercept her path.

"Master, continue!" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei took a step back, gritted her teeth, and directly threw the ancient moon qin towards Su Qing Ying.

With a light tap of her toes, Su leapt lightly, cradling the Gu Yueqin in her arms. Her blue robes fluttered in the air as she gently plucked at the strings with one hand while holding the qin with the other.

Jing—

The intangible blade energies rippled outward like waves, instantly eradicating the swarm of insects that had flown around Xuanyuan Rongfei, reducing them to ashes that drifted away with the wind.

With just one strike, she wiped out nearly a hundred venomous insects. The black-clad men were shocked and horrified, their eyes hardened with resolve. They joined forces, urging all the remaining venomous insects to focus their attack on Su Qingying!

She muttered curses under her breath, and Xuan Yuan Rong Fei cried out nervously, "Master! Be careful!"

"Damn, you guys were blowing big time just now, it's our turn to fight back!" A playful smirk graced Su Qingying's lips as her bright phoenix eyes glistened with a dangerous gleam.

Looking at the surging swarm of worms in the sky, she didn't retreat but advanced. Her slender hand moved rapidly back and forth on the crystal zither strings, and a clear and refreshing sound echoed throughout the world.

Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

Countless venomous insects rained down, a dense swarm that was instantly wiped out, not a single one remaining. They all became fertilizer for the Prince's Mansion without exception.

The Black Cloaked Man's greatest reliance was those insects, and now they are all dead at the hands of Su Qingying. Their flutes have become mere decorations.

Seeing that things were going badly, a man in black hurriedly called for his companions to retreat quickly. "Quick, go back and report to the Great Princess."

With a cold snort, Su Qingying's ink-jade phoenix eyes flashed with brilliance, deep and icy, extremely intimidating. "Want to leave Did you ask us Do you think we're dead"

Jīng—

A bloody light flashed in her eyes, and with a flick of her hand, the strings trembled violently.

Several figures in black suddenly stiffened, let out a gurgle, and one by one their heads rolled to the ground. Their faces were still etched with the terror of their final moments.

"Amazing! This is the power of Gu Yueqin!" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei's eyes widened, her admiration for Su Qingying soaring to new heights.

"Zhao Ruqing, you've repeatedly provoked my bottom line. Do you really think I'm a pushover!" Holding her ancient qin, Su Qingying stood proudly against the wind. Her raven hair danced wildly in the night sky, and her deep black eyes glinted with a chilling coldness, sharp to the extreme.

Zhao Ruqing's repeated challenges to her bottom line have thoroughly pissed her off!

"Tian Yu, Shangguan Saobao, you two stay here and protect Rong Fei. I'm going to meet Zhao Ruqing!" I'm leaving Tian Yu and Shangguan Saobao here to protect Rong Fei in case Zhao Ruqing sends more people.

Seeing Su Qingying about to leave with her ancient zither, Zhao Tianyu's brow furrowed. A thread of worry quickly flashed across his heart. He hurriedly chased after her, "Qingying, Zhao Ruoqing is too dangerous. I'll go with you. I can also guide the way."

Su Qingying was taken aback for a moment, instantly realizing how foolish she had been. Oh, right, she had overlooked this question.

"Shangguan Saobao" After a moment of hesitation, Su Qingying turned her head to glance at Shangguan Jinghong as if asking for confirmation.

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Rest assured, if I can't even protect my own Crown Princess, wouldn't that be a waste of life"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying said no more and swiftly followed Zhao Tianyu toward Zhao Ruqing's residence.

With their light kung fu skills, they took a detour of seven or eight official roads before arriving at Zhao Ruqing's Princess Mansion.

I went straight through the wall, effortlessly bypassing all the guards, and headed straight for Zhao Ruqing's main house.

As Su Qingying passed by a corner courtyard, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a white figure in her peripheral vision. Her steps faltered, and she stared in disbelief, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg inside. “That’s… Ari!”

I saw a handsome man, as beautiful as orchids and jade, standing quietly under a locust tree in the distance. He gazed far into the sky at the silver moon like a hook, lost in thought.

The gentle moonlight bathed his face, sculpted like jade, highlighting his delicate features and contours. Especially those ruby-red eyes, deep and alluring, as if a god had descended.

The unparalleled grace of Tsinghua, the peerless handsome features, and the breathtaking elegance, besides Jun Li Ye, who else could it berollably, as if they were about to cramp up."He has more than just sympathy for him now! Really!"... Su Ziyi's forehead was slick with cold sweat, bead after bead."This dead girl is really just spouti...
