Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a few moments, a few people dressed in white appeared in front of Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili. They were covered head to toe in white, revealing only their eyes.

The man in the lead scoffed and said, “To think the Prince Regent of Tianxia actually came to Xichu for a woman.”

Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili’s expressions turned cold immediately upon hearing these words.

“You know his true identity?” Yu Yunxi asked, looking murderous.

Feng Yili had always worn his fanged mask in Xichu. Not even Chu Ruishi, the Emperor Emeritus, was aware of his true identity. How could the person in front of them know about it?

“Are you from the Xiao family?” Yu Yunxi continued to ask.

“I’m not from the Xiao family. There’s nothing in this world that I don’t know,” the other party said arrogantly.

“What’s your motive? Why did you use the Xiao family to lure me here?” Yu Yunxi asked sternly.

The other party stared at Yu Yunxi and asked, “Eldest Princess, before I answer your questions, don’t you think you should show your sincerity?”

“What do you want?”

“Feng Yili’s life,” the other party said, shifting his gaze to Feng Yili.

Yu Yunxi chuckled. In the next moment, she drew the soft sword at her waist and stabbed it toward the other party’s vital point.

Feng Yili also moved. His speed was extremely fast, like a ghost following by her side and blocking the danger for her.

The duo did not need to speak, but they cooperated extremely well.

“Ignorant child.”

The man was clearly angry, and he brought his weapon out to block the attack.

In the dark bamboo forest, only the sounds of weapons colliding and wind whistling could be heard.

After exchanging a few moves with the other party, Yu Yunxi’s heart sank. The other party’s skills were far above hers.

‘When did such a powerful person appear in Xichu?’

A muffled thud rang in the air as Yu Yunxi stumbled back. Her chest was hit by the other party’s internal energy.

“You’re still too inexperienced,” the man said mockingly with a sneer, “The Xiao family’s descendants are getting worse and worse…”

Feng Yili was too worried about Yu Yunxi and was distracted. As a result of his carelessness, he was also struck in the chest.

“Feng Yili!”

Yu Yunxi felt as though her heart was going to leap out of her chest at this moment.

“Trash! How dare you call yourself the Prince Regent of Tianxia? Just because the hidden families didn’t step forward, even trash can become a Prince Regent,” the man said contemptuously, laughing.

‘Hidden families? He said that they’re not from the Xiao family. Does this mean that they’re from another hidden family? After all, apart from the Xiao family, there are still other hidden families…

The man stood in front of Feng Yili before he said condescendingly, “Yu Yunxi is still useful. Kill this trash and bring Yu Yunxi back. With this, the task given by the patriarch will be completed.”

Yu Yunxi wanted to stop them, but their speed was faster than hers. In just a moment, the enemies launched their attacks, aiming for Feng Yili’s head.

However, at this time, Feng Yili dodged the enemies’ attacks. He waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept out, hitting one of the enemies on the chest.

Coincidentally or not, the attack landed on the arrogant man. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

“How dare you hurt our big brother?! I’ll kill you!”

The enemies attacked again. However, despite their powerful internal energy, they were easily dealt with by Feng Yili. With this, realization dawned on them. They looked at Feng Yili with terrified gazes.

“You, you, you were pretending to be weak earlier?”

‘Feng Yili’s only so young, but his martial arts are actually so… profound. Given another few more years…’

They did not dare to think too deeply about this.

Feng Yili sneered. “If I didn’t pretend to be weak, how could I get information from you?”

Before those people could react, Feng Yili attacked again.

Blood splattered all over the ground, and those people fell to the ground again, groaning in pain. The tendons in their hands and feet were severed, and they had no strength to resist. However, even on the brink of death, they still dared to threaten Feng Yili.

“If you dare to kill us, the head of the family won’t let you off!”

“I don’t have much patience. Tell me, who sent you here?” Feng Yili asked as he looked at them with a gaze devoid of warmth.

“Give up. We won’t say anything.”

The few of them exchanged a look, preparing to bite the capsule hidden in their mouth to commit suicide. Unexpectedly, they found that their jaw muscles were numb, and they had no strength to bite down on the capsules at all.

Yu Yunxi slowly walked over as she said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to poison yourself to commit suicide. Since you want to suffer, I’ve already poisoned you earlier.”

The group of people widened their eyes in fear.

‘When did she poison us? We didn’t even notice!’

Yu Yunxi walked over and slapped their backs, forcing the capsules hidden under their tongues out. Then, she forcefully stuffed a pill into each of their mouths.

Not long after, the group of people finally regained the strength to speak. “W-what do you want?”

This time, they sounded much more humble. Initially, they thought it would be easy to deal with Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili. Unexpectedly, the duo was so difficult to deal with.

“Which family are you from?” Yu Yunxi asked coldly.

All of them remained silent with no intention to speak. However, in the next moment, they felt a sharp pain in their abdomens. The pain was so excruciating that they wanted to die.

“I don’t have much patience,” Yu Yunxi said lightly.

They did not speak immediately. They groaned and moaned in pain.

‘The pain is too excruciating! Yu Yunxi is really vicious!’

After a long time, someone finally gave up. He panted heavily and said with great difficulty, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk! We’re from the Dongfang family. To be precise, we’re from the side branch of the Dongfang family. We usually help the family deal with affairs in the outside world.”

‘Dongfang family?’

Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili exchanged a glance. They had heard of the Dongfang family before. It was also a hidden family, but it was inferior to the Xiao family.

“Why are you targeting me?”

“Our patriarch knows… knows that the Xiao family is looking for its lost descendant… so he wants us to bring you back. He wants to use you to curry favor with the Xiao family.”

“Then why do you want to kill Feng Yili?” Yu Yunxi asked. Her voice became much sharper than before.

‘Does the Dongfang family also know the Xiao family’s secret?’

“He, he’s always with you. We heard that his martial arts are very powerful and were worried that he’d cause trouble. That was why we wanted to deal with him first.

‘As it turns out, we were right to be cautious… Alas, we underestimated him! He’s simply a demon and a freak! How can he be so powerful at such a young age?,

“Then how did you know his identity?” Yu Yunxi asked again.

“That’s what our patriarch wrote in the letter…”

Yu Yunxi wanted to question the other party more about the hidden families, but he could no longer hold on and died. His companions also followed in his footsteps one after another.

“Are they so weak? I thought they were from a hidden family?” Yu Yunxi muttered with a contemptuous expression on her face.

Then, she checked their pulses. Although they had died, she could still detect something since they had just died. Soon enough, her expression changed. She discovered that all of their internal organs were damaged.

Yu Yunxi looked up at Feng Yili in shock.

‘Just how powerful are his martial arts?’

At this moment, Feng Yili came over and hugged her. He leaned his head against her shoulder before he raised one hand and said, sounding aggrieved, “Princess Consort, my hand hurts.”

Yu Yunxi looked at his hand and saw the ant-sized wound on his finger. For a moment, she did not know what to say..
