Chapter 151: An Assassination Attempt

another man!” Qian Liye laughed maniacally after finishing his words."You dare!" Qian Sichun gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot with rage. If looks could kill, then Qian Liye would have been kille...“For my whole life, you’ve told everyone that the person you love is your sister. I’ve always been so pathetically trailing behind you two. Now I understand, I don’t love you anymore. I’m letting you and your sister be together. What are you doing like this now” What's unattainable is what men forever yearn for.

"Song'er, I know I was wrong before, give me another chance, okay" He held her face, eager to know her answer, yet afraid of what she might say.

“Qian Si Chen, you said you have feelings for me. When did this start Why haven't I ever felt it” Xiao Yu Ge looked at him calmly, wanting to know just how much truth was in his words.

“It all started when you took that fatal arrow for me. Seeing you lying lifeless in bed, I was truly terrified that you would just leave me like that. When I went to the cliff to get medicine, I prayed constantly that God wouldn't take you away from me. It wasn't until then that I realized how much I cared about you. The moment you woke up, I almost cried with joy. I was grateful to God for hearing my prayers and giving you back to me.”

Hearing his confession, Xiao Yuge's heart did not stir much.

"My dearest... "

Qian Si Chen was just about to speak, but at that moment, he suddenly sensed a strange aura in the air. He instinctively shielded Xiao Yu Ge behind him.

Xiao Yu Ge had long sensed that something was amiss, but she remained composed. Although she could reveal her martial arts now without consequence, it would be better to let Qian Si Chen suffer a setback first.

As expected, several men in black descended gracefully, quickly surrounding them. At a glance, it was clear they were highly trained assassins. The men in black didn't utter a word, but immediately charged towards Qian Si Chen and the others with their sharp swords drawn.

“Ge’er, don’t be afraid!” Qian Sichin shielded Xiao Yuge behind him. He faced the battle with composure and calmness. His martial arts skills weren’t weak, but facing these well-trained assassins who attacked relentlessly, while also having to protect Xiao Yuge behind him, he quickly showed signs of defeat.

"How dare you, attempting to assassinate the Crown Prince!" Qian Sichin was accidentally slashed on his arm, but it only fueled his rage and strengthened his resolve to fight back.

"Kill you, and the prince will get someone else to take your place!" The black-clad man at the front smirked sinisterly, his voice low and deliberately disguised.

"Are you people sent by King Liang" Qian Sichen seemed to have thought of something.

"Once the Crown Prince reaches the underworld, he'll know for himself." The leader of the black-clad men seemed to see Qian Si Chen protecting Xiao Yu Ge. He waved his hand dismissively. "Kill the little girl!"

A chill ran down Thousand Thoughts' spine, and he immediately stepped in front of Xiao Yuge, his voice laced with a threat: "If you dare to harm her in the slightest, this palace will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death!"

"Your Highness should take care of yourself first." The leading figure in black waved his hand, and the assassins all charged at Qian Si Chen and Xiao Yu Ge, each move lethal, every strike aimed at a vital point!

Xiao Yu Ge secretly observed these men in black. Their martial arts moves were very fierce. If she fought head-on, she and Qian Si Chen might not be able to win, but if she added her razor-sharp lockbone knife and poison needles, these people would be nothing to fear. But that way, her trump cards would be exposed, so she was hesitating.

Just as she was distracted, a man in black launched a surprise attack. The blade was about to plunge into her chest, but she feigned fear and let out a loud scream!

"Song!"

The menacing blade wind descended upon her the instant it was unleashed, and Qian Si Chen almost instantly shifted, effortlessly flipping to embrace her. The expected piercing pain seared through his back, drilling deep into his very core. It shook him to his bones, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunate that she had remained unscathed!

"A thousand thoughts and dust!" Xiao Yuge didn't expect him to stand in front of her without hesitation. She was a little surprised. She was wearing the golden silkworm garment sent by Qian Tingxuan. An ordinary broken sword couldn't hurt her at all.

Those in black, seeing Qian Si Chen injured, their morale was greatly shaken and they all rushed towards them. Seeing the opportunity ripe, Xiao Yu Ge waved his hand and threw a smoke bomb, then quickly helped Qian Si Chen to safety!

“The smoke is poisonous!” The leader of the black-clad men realized something was wrong, and quickly held his breath. However, some were too slow to react and fell unconscious from the poison.

"Damn it!" The leader of the black-clad men hadn't expected that just as they were about to succeed, they would be escaped. He roared in anger: "They are injured, they can't run far, chase after them!"

Watching those figures in black disappear, Xiao Yu Ge finally helped Qian Si Chen up. As it turned out, what she had just done was a mere trick to mislead them; she hadn't actually escaped. Only when they were far away did she step out.

"Ugh!" Qian Si Chen was deeply injured, and after only two steps, he almost collapsed.

"You're badly hurt, you need to find a place to heal." Xiao Yuge didn't want to concern herself with his life or death, but just leaving him here, he would definitely bleed out. Revenge hadn't been served yet, she couldn't let him die like this.

"You're really still here!" Just then, the black-clad figure who had walked away suddenly turned back.

"What You guys!" Xiao Yuge was also taken aback. She didn't expect those men in black to come back, they actually didn't fall for it!

“Little girl, you are clever, but you underestimate us too much. You're just a little girl with no martial arts skills. How could you possibly take away the injured prince So, you must still be here.” The leader of the black-clothed men laughed wildly.

"Song'er, I will hold them off, you run quickly, run out of this forest, then you will be safe!" Qian Sichin endured the pain and protected her behind him.

"What are you going to do then" Xiao Yuge didn't expect that even at this time, he would still care about her.

"As long as you're alright, I'll feel at ease! Go quickly!" Qian Sichin urged her to leave.

"No! I won't leave you!" Xiao Yuge was also stubborn. "Qian Si Chen, I told you, I don't accept your feelings, and I won't take on your life!"

"Girl, listen to me! Run out of here, Ling Tian will be at the exit, when you get there, you'll be safe, and he can come back to rescue me too. Go quickly!" Qian Si Chen urged.

"I..." Xiao Yuge looked at those men in black, thinking that if she stayed now, she would inevitably have to fight. If she showed her martial arts in front of Qian Si Chen now, it would probably be very troublesome later on. Anyway, this man wouldn't die for now, so let him be.

"None of you are getting away!" The man in black commanded, and the assassins all surged forward.

"Ge'er, run!" Qian Sichin shoved Xiao Yuge aside and then engaged the black-clad men in battle once more.

Xiao Yuge gritted her teeth, turned around and ran outside. As expected, she didn't go far before seeing Ling Tian arriving with people in a hurry.

"Ling Shiwei, the Crown Prince has been attacked, go save him quickly!"ivating as to drive people to such madness"Old man, are the effects of that divine tea really as magical as they say" He Ming asked again.The old woman nodded. “That spirit tea really does make one fe...
