Song Yiyan felt something strange behind him and looked back at where that person was.

Xie Jingrui also followed Song Yiyan's gaze and saw a figure flash by quickly.

"You guys stay here, I'll be back soon." Xie Jingrui gave them instructions and followed closely.

Xie Jingrui chased the man and came to a dilapidated Zen room outside Wanfu Temple. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and the outside of the Zen room was covered with spider webs. It seemed that no one had been in here for a long time.

He looked around carefully, then walked to the meditation room.

"Squeak..."

The door of the Zen room was opened from the outside by Xie Jingrui.

Thick dust filled his nose. Xie Jingrui coughed lightly and patted the tip of his nose.

The dust falls.

Xie Jingrui stepped one foot into the Zen room. The things in the Zen room were neatly arranged, and all were placed in one direction. Apart from these, the distances between things were also the same.

It can be seen that the owner of this Zen room before it was abandoned was a person with extremely high demands on himself.

Xie Jingrui walked around the meditation room and didn't find anything wrong.

Just as he was about to leave.

A layer of dust was wiped off the corner, and Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked towards the direction of the beam.

A dart flew fiercely towards Xie Jingrui's eyes.

Xie Jingrui frowned slightly and almost failed to dodge. He turned around and the dart brushed past the corner of his eye.

Before Xie Jingrui could react, the man in black raised his sword and rushed towards Xie Jingrui.

The sharp peaks were aimed directly at Xie Jingrui's heart, and every move was intended to kill him.

Xie Jingrui quickly dodged the opponent's attack and at the same time took out a dagger from his body and slashed the opponent's arm fiercely.

The man in black groaned and covered his injured arm with his hand.

After a while.

He continued to raise his sword and rushed towards Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui narrowed his cold eyes slightly, looking at the other party's posture, he was determined to fight him to the death today.

The opponent's skills were obviously about the same as his own.

After a few rounds, tiny beads of sweat began to appear on Xie Jingrui's forehead.

When the other party saw that the two were in a stalemate, his eyes suddenly became resentful. He quietly took out a few silver needles from his sleeve and shot them at Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui noticed the other party's move early in the morning. He raised his sword to block the other party's silver needle.

The man in black took advantage of Xie Jingrui's unpreparedness and shot a few poisoned silver needles at him.

Xie Jingrui's cold eyes suddenly became bloodthirsty. He dodged and stabbed the black-clothed man's neck with his sword.

Blood gushed out, the man in black's eyes widened suddenly, and then he fell to the ground.

Xie Jingrui took off the other person's mask and looked at his face carefully, and when he saw his face clearly.

A hint of surprise flashed across Xie Jingrui's face, but soon his eyes returned to their previous bloodthirsty and cold look.

The secret guards rushed over at this time, and Xie Jingrui signaled with his eyes to leave the rest of the work to them.

The secret guard nodded in understanding.

He stood up and began to search the room again.

Finally, his gaze fell on an incense burner. He looked at the marks on his face where the incense burner had been twisted.

Xie Jingrui turned the incense burner along the trace.

"Click!" The door of a secret room was suddenly opened.

Xie Jingrui took the fire starter and shone it inside.

The other secret guards also followed Xie Jingrui into the secret passage.

Not long after.

They came from the narrow secret passage to a spacious place.

As soon as he stepped in, the surroundings suddenly became bright, and there were a pile of gold, silver and jewelry placed inside.

Meanwhile, Xie Jingrui spotted a slender female figure in another place.

At this moment, the woman's face was pale. Xie Jingrui's pupils suddenly shrank. He immediately stepped forward and picked up the woman from the pile of things on the ground.

"Yue'er..." In a hurry, Xie Jingrui subconsciously called out the name he had for Liu Yueru.

She saw that Liu Yueru's face was as pale as paper. Her heart sank and she ran outside while holding Liu Yueru in her arms.

Xie Jingrui couldn't hide the panic in his eyes. When he was about to walk out of the secret passage, he stumbled and they almost fell together.

He quickly turned over and used himself as a cushion for Liu Yueru, then he quickly stood up and hugged the woman in his arms.

He whispered hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

The words fell.

Liu Yueru's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She opened her heavy eyelids and looked in the direction of Xie Jingrui.

After seeing who was coming, Liu Yueru's frown finally relaxed a little. She asked Xie Jingrui in a weak voice, "Have you found Yan'er and Hua'er?"

Xie Jingrui nodded and said, "I found them. They are in Wanfu Temple. I'll take you to see them."

"Where are you hurt?" Xie Jingrui asked in a hoarse voice as he looked at Liu Yueru.

At this moment, Liu Yueru was lying on Xie Jingrui's body, with her hands on Xie Jingrui's chest, in a very ambiguous posture.

Looking closely, one can see that Xie Jingrui's face is already flushed, and his ears are also very red.

Liu Yueru came back to her senses and realized something. She struggled to get up from Xie Jingrui.

However, the effect of the drug on Liu Yueru had not completely dissipated. As soon as she propped herself up, she fell heavily back into Xie Jingrui's arms.

Xie Jingrui instinctively reached out and held her in his arms again.

Liu Yueru became even more flustered by her own powerlessness, and was more anxious to get out of Xie Jingrui's arms.

She blushed and hesitantly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

The woman on his body moved more and more violently, causing Xie Jingrui's Adam's apple to roll slightly.

His voice became deeper and hoarser as he spoke: "It's okay."

Xie Jingrui took a few deep breaths and picked up Liu Ruyue helplessly. He helped Liu Ruyue sit beside him.

Both of their cheeks were red at this moment, and the atmosphere was particularly weird.

The secret guards had originally come out of the secret passage. Seeing this, the leading secret guard hurriedly pulled the other subordinates into the secret passage.

The last time the prince fell off the cliff, he consulted the female secret guards, and after their guidance he finally understood why the prince was so cold and harsh to him that day.

He still wanted to live, and he tightened his grip on his subordinates.

The two were silent for a long time. Liu Yueru also felt much better. She replied softly, "It was a drug. I wanted to come out to help find the child. I just sent Ye Tao and the nanny away, and then I smelled a strange smell. Then I woke up and fainted. I don't know what happened next."

When Xie Jingrui saw that she was fine, his expression was obviously relieved.

"It's okay."

Xie Jingrui stood up first, hid aside and brushed the dust off his body.

When Liu Yueru saw this, a faint smile flashed across her eyes.

She then got up from the ground.

Seeing this, Xie Jingrui stopped what he was doing, followed Liu Yueru to his side, and stood beside her with his thin lips slightly pursed.

Xie Jingrui escorted Liu Yueru back to the room where she lived, while he went to take care of the people in Wanfu Temple.

When he asked the abbot about the person who had lived in the Zen room before, the abbot's expression suddenly changed...
