"Who said the engagement was cancelled?"

"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. How could it be false?"

Speaking of this, Li Siwan felt a little sad.

But he did not show it. Instead, he lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup to hide it.

Xiahou Su noticed it and quickly explained.

"We are still engaged. We broke off the engagement because I only had half a year to live. But after your treatment, I will not die anymore. So after waking up, besides looking for you, the first thing I did was to go to the palace and ask for a new engagement."

After these words came out, Li Siwan was stunned.

"Re-propose? Why?"

Li Siwan's eyes were full of doubt, and within this doubt there was a hint of anticipation.

She had a suspicion in her heart, but she was not sure.

"because..."

Just as Xiahou Su was about to speak, he heard the respectful voice of a maidservant beside him.

"Mr. Su, Miss Wan, you can have dinner now."

His speech was interrupted because there were outsiders present, so Xiahou Su did not continue but stood up.

Li Siwan also followed Xiahou Su, and the two of them went towards the dining hall.

Li Siwan poked and leaned closer, "So... why?"

Seeing Li Siwan so anxious, Xiahou Su curled his lips cunningly.

He leaned over and said, "Because... guess what!"

Seeing Xiahou Su's teasing smile, Li Siwan's face darkened.

Knowing that he would not say anything more, she snorted, walked past him and went into the kitchen.

During dinner, Li Siwan did not see Yanruo and looked at Liu Zeen with some confusion.

"Master Liu, where is Miss Yanruo? Isn't she going to have dinner with us?"

"Yanruo said she was a little tired, so we won't have dinner together and she's going to rest first."

Yanagiseen answered with a smile, but his brows were filled with concern.

Li Siwan always felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

She nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.

After dinner, Xiahou Su was called by Liu Ze'en to play chess.

Li Siwan felt a little tired after walking quite a distance during the day.

So I didn't follow him and prepared to take a hot spring bath.

When passing by the backyard, Xiahou Su noticed Li Siwan from afar.

He looked at Li Siwan's exhausted appearance and felt a little worried.

Liu Ze'en had not returned from looking for the chess manual yet, so Xiahou Su simply followed him.

Because it was late, there was no one guarding the hot spring.

Li Siwan had just arrived outside the hot spring pool and paused when he felt the breeze blowing past.

His expression suddenly changed.

Bloody smell.

The hand that was originally raised to push the door stopped in mid-air, and turned to look at the bamboo door on the other side not far away.

The smell of blood came from over there.

Is anyone in trouble?

Thinking that Yanruo did not come out for dinner, Li Siwan felt a little worried.

There is also a Fangzi steamer.

The smell of blood was everywhere, and all the factors were stimulating Li Siwan.

There was no time to think about anything else at this moment.

Li Siwan quietly put down the things in his hand, held the silver needle and medicine powder in his hand, walked carefully to the bamboo door, and stretched out his hand to push it open.

As the smell of blood became stronger, Li Siwan also saw the scene inside clearly. In an instant, his face turned pale.

The originally clear hot spring pool water had now been dyed red by blood. The man in the pool was lying on his back in the water, his face pale and he was no longer breathing. His wide-open eyes were staring at the direction of the bamboo door.

The one who died was not someone else.

But it’s the Fangzi steamer!

Li Siwan was also frightened by this scene.

There was silence all around, and she stepped back subconsciously, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some movement on the side.

"who!"

The moment he finished speaking, Li Siwan's wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.

She vigilantly drew out her dagger and was about to resist, but the next moment Xiahou Su protected her behind her.

"Wanwan, don't be afraid."

A deep and familiar voice came from the front, and Li Siwan's tense nerves were soothed almost instantly.

She took a deep breath and looked up at Xiahou Su's back.

With him around, I always feel extra safe.

Without waiting for Xiahou Su to check on the condition of Fang Zi Zeng.

A dark shadow suddenly turned over and left from the corner of the wall.

Li Siwan and Xiahou Su both saw it clearly.

"Wanwan, go back and find Liu Zeen and the others first. I'll go after them."

Xiahou Su said this as he gave instructions, and pushed Li Siwan out of the bamboo door.

Worried that the situation inside would scare Wanwan, he deliberately closed the bamboo door.

After Li Siwan came to his senses, he was worried that something might have happened to Xiahou Su.

After all, his injuries had not healed yet. Thinking of this, she turned around and ran towards the courtyard where Liu Ze'en and Yanruo were resting.

Just when I was halfway there, I saw Liu Ze'en and Yanruo hurrying over. They looked hurried, as if they already knew something.

"Miss Wan, have you seen Young Master Fang? We haven't seen him all night, and his disciples are all very worried!"

Li Siwan frowned, "In the hot spring pool, but... he's dead!"

"what?"

Liu Ze'en and Yanruo were shocked and quickly followed Li Siwan towards the hot spring pool.

When they arrived outside the hot spring pool, Xiahou Su just came back.

Li Siwan looked at the man nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had no wounds on his body.

People safe is good.

"What happened?"

"Come in and talk."

Xiahou Su glanced at Li Siwan, and Li Siwan understood. Together with Wu Yu who had rushed over, he took Yanruo to one side.

Xiahou Su and Liu Zeen entered the hot spring pool.

After taking a quick look at the corpse, Liu Zeen looked solemn.

"One sword cuts off the throat."

"Yes, the murderer's martial arts skills are not inferior to ours. I just chased him, but he disappeared without a trace."

"You didn't catch up?"

"This person is very familiar with the terrain of the villa, so..."

"You mean, the murderer is someone from the villa?"

"At least, someone who is familiar with the villa."

Liu Zeen sighed, "This is a big trouble!"

Fang Zizheng is Fang Zhenshan's young master and has an extremely important status.

Now that someone has died here, the villa might be in trouble.

Xiahou Su understood Liu Zeen's worries, "We have to find the murderer as soon as possible, and then we can explain it to Sect Leader Fang Zhenshan when he comes."

As Xiahou Su spoke, he looked at the Fangzi steamer that had been pulled out of the spring.

His body even turned white after being soaked in the hot spring water.

Even Xiahou Su couldn't help but clench his hands when he saw the pool full of blood.

Fortunately, Wanwan is fine.

He was glad that he had just followed Wanwan here.

If Wanwan were to face the man in black alone, something might really happen.

"The most urgent task now is to find clues first. Let's check the surroundings carefully..."

Before Liu Zeen could finish his words, he heard a commotion outside.

The two of them quickly stood up and walked out, only to see more than a dozen men with swords in their hands standing outside, confronting Wu Yu and Li Siwan.

They are the disciples who followed Fang Zizheng to the villa.

The moment the door opened, the leading guard saw the tragic scene inside.

"Young Master...Young Master is dead!"

"You actually murdered the young master. We want to avenge him!"

For a time, the scene was chaotic.

Xiahou's veteran general Li Siwan protected him behind him, and Liu Zeen also protected Yanruo.

"Please listen to me, everyone. Young Master Fang's murder has nothing to do with us. We just discovered it and fought with the murderer, but he ran away. If we quarrel among ourselves at this time, won't the murderer go unpunished?"

"Why should we trust you?"

"Young Master Fang and I have no grudges against each other, so why did he kill me? And he was killed in my villa. Isn't it courting self-destruction to face Fang Zhenshan directly?"

"Why worry about so much? If something happens to the young master, we are all responsible. There are only a few people in the villa. They must have killed the young master. Let's kill them all and avenge the young master. This can be considered as making up for our mistakes. Maybe we can still have a chance to survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp sword pointed directly at Liu Zeen and others.
