It was hard for Xuan Jingchen not to suspect that this little girl had done something bad to her body when she took down Niu Kui.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, narrowed her eyes and said, "Miss Qin, are you being scornful of me?"

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense..."

Qin Huaiyan's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and he shook his head in denial three times in a row.

Quickly retracting her hands to cover her face, she lowered her head and was about to leave.

However, when Qin Huaiyan saw Xuan Jingchen who had now regained the appearance of a woman, he felt a hint of anger even as he was shy.

"Hmph, you liar. You are obviously a beautiful girl, but you pretended to be a handsome young man and deceived me."

"This made me treat you just now..." By the time she said the last sentence, her face was already flushed.

Qin Huaiyan really couldn't talk about secretly kissing Xuan Jingchen.

"cheat?"

When Xuan Jingchen heard this, he felt something was wrong. He glanced at himself and realized that the illusion technique had failed.

His true identity was discovered by the eldest lady of Prince Qin's Mansion.

Xuan Jingchen frowned and was a little confused for a moment.

But she quickly calmed down and her eyes fell on Qin Huaiyan's pretty face.

"Okay, Miss Qin, let me apologize to you first. You shouldn't have used the illusion technique to hide your true appearance."

Xuan Jingchen smiled quietly and his tone was sincere, making it impossible to be picky.

That beautiful smile even Qin Huaiyan, who is also a woman, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She looked at Xuan Jingchen in front of her in confusion and muttered in her heart: "Damn it, why do I feel that Xuan Jingchen has become much gentler and a little... charming after he turned back into a woman?"

But Qin Huaiyan didn't forgive her easily.

"Hmph, don't think that this lady will forgive you easily after knowing that you are a woman. No matter how sweet you talk, you can't get away with it!"

Qin Huaiyan snorted coldly, but his heart softened.

At this time, Qin De, who was forgotten by the two in the corner, looked at the scene where the two seemed to be flirting, and he was even more sure that his eldest lady liked women.

This must be true. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady and this girl have such a deep relationship. They must have been together for a long time.

I'd better not disturb them.

Qin De quietly exited the Secret Treasure Pavilion.

But as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly came to his senses, slapped his forehead with his big hand and said, "That's not right, I still have some important things my ancestor ordered me to do, and I almost forgot about it!"

He hurriedly turned back and ran back to Qin Huaiyan and Xuan Jingchen and said, "Miss, our ancestor has ordered you to take Mr. Xuan to see him in the study."

"Ancestor? What does he want from me and Xuan Jingchen?"

After hearing this, Qin Huaiyan turned his head and looked at Qin De with confusion.

"I don't know, but there must be something important!" Qin De lowered his head and replied.

Qin Huaiyan frowned and said nothing more.

Since it was her ancestor's order, she could only follow it.

"Okay, I understand. Please step back first. I will take Xuan Jingchen over later."

Qin De didn't know yet that the silver-haired girl who was as beautiful as a fairy next to the eldest lady at this time was Mr. Xuan that the ancestor wanted to see, so he thought that Xuan Jingchen was not in the Secret Treasure Pavilion.

Although he was very curious about the Young Master Xuan whom his ancestor wanted to see, the eldest lady had already spoken, so he didn't think much about it and immediately stepped back and left the Secret Treasure Pavilion.

As soon as Qin De left, Xuan Jingchen vaguely felt something was wrong, and asked Qin Huaiyan: "Where did that kid Li Luoxuan go?"

When Li Luoxuan was mentioned, Qin Huaiyan remembered the Lord of the Rings. He immediately looked at the Bull Demon Ring on Xuan Jingchen's finger and said, "You were controlled by this ring just now, and that guy went to find someone to save you. But he hasn’t come back yet.”

"By the way, why are you still wearing this evil ring? Aren't you afraid that it will control your body again?"

Hearing this, Xuan Jingchen raised his left hand and gently touched the Bull Demon Ring on his right index finger, and smiled meaningfully.

"I control the Ring now, not the Ring controlling me. Why should I worry?"

"Besides, nothing can control me, Xuan Jingchen."

"To be able to say such arrogant words, it seems that you are really Xuan Jingchen." Qin Huaiyan said with a cold snort.

At first, she thought that Xuan Jingchen's transformation into such a beautiful fairy-like appearance was due to the evil thing in the Lord of the Rings taking away his body, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

As for Li Luoxuan, whom the two were talking about, he was lying in the grass in the courtyard of Prince Qin's Mansion, covered in blood, with his eyes closed and no breath at all.

There were also several artificially arranged corpses piled up on the left side of his body. Judging from their clothes, these were maids and servants from Prince Qin's palace.

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Luoxuan, who was completely breathless, suddenly coughed violently twice and opened his eyes. The severe pain in his chest made him bend over and arch his back.

"It was such a close call... I almost died. Fortunately, I am smart..." He murmured to himself with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Li Luoxuan, who was seriously injured, quickly took out the healing elixir from his storage bag and took it without saying a few words.

After the pain was relieved a little, Li Luoxuan couldn't wait to cover his bleeding chest, stood up, and walked towards the Secret Treasure Pavilion with a pale face.

He knew that the assassin who had previously attacked him had already started taking action, and he had to notify others immediately.

Not long ago, Li Luoxuan was attacked by a mysterious assassin not far from the Secret Treasure Pavilion. Judging from the fact that the man shot through his chest with one move, he was at least above the Yuan Dan realm.

If Li Luoxuan hadn't used his secret technique in time to withstand the fatal blow and then decisively pretended to be dead, he would have died by now.

Moreover, Li Luoxuan discovered that this assassin was not only extremely fast, but also acted with multiple people.

When he was unconscious, he could vaguely hear the conversations of no less than five people.

Looking at the corpses of several people from Prince Qin's palace in the grass, Li Luoxuan had a bad premonition.

These assassins with unknown origins have probably been acting for a while. He must hurry up and tell the people in Prince Qin's palace the news so that they can be prepared.

When he thought of this, Li Luoxuan immediately rushed towards the Secret Treasure Pavilion, praying in his heart that nothing would happen to Xuan Jingchen and Qin Huaiyan.

At the same time, Qin Huaiyan, who had not noticed anything unusual yet, brought Xuan Jingchen to the study.

Just as he was about to open the door, Qin Zheng's voice came from the study: "Yan'er, just let Mr. Xuan come in alone. You wait outside."

"Ok?"

Qin Huaiyan was stunned when he heard this. After a pause, he turned to Xuan Jingchen and said, "Why does the ancestor want to see you alone?"

"How did I know?" Xuan Jingchen shook his head and said.

Although he was curious, Qin Huaiyan still followed Qin Zheng's arrangement and waited in the yard outside the study.

Xuan Jingchen used his transformation technique again and turned into the handsome young master before he opened the door and walked in.

After all, the ancestor of Prince Qin’s Mansion still doesn’t know his true appearance.

In the study, Qin Zheng was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, closing his eyes to rest.

When Xuan Jingchen saw his appearance, he immediately noticed something unusual about him and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Senior Qin, are you injured?"

Even though Qin Zheng tried his best to regulate his breathing with Yuan Li, Xuan Jingchen was still able to keenly detect the disorder of Yuan Li in his body.
