f thousands of troops meticulously deployed, they had still lost. His son now held no power nor army, and to think he could save him single-handedly was a fool's dream."Father, I..." Ning Feng was stu..."Wang Ye" Xiao Yuge mumbled in confusion, a name flitting through her mind: "Qian Ting Xuan Qian Ting Xuan..."
"Mhm, Your Highness is the most loving person in the world towards his young lady. The servant knows this well, you must remember His Highness!" Qingluo was overjoyed and cried again.
Just when everyone thought Xiao Yuge would recover her consciousness, Fang Minrou seized the opportunity. She snatched a sword from a guard's hand and stabbed Xiao Yuge in the back: "Xiao Yuge, die!"
"Song'er!" Qian Sicheng hadn't expected Fang Minrou to attack from behind. And Xiao Yuge was so close to Xiao Yuge, the injured man couldn't even react in time to save Xiao Yuge.
“Miss!” Just as everyone, including Fang Minrou herself, thought that Xiao Yuge was about to die under the knife, Qing Luo had already seen the danger behind Miss. Without even thinking, she quickly pulled Xiao Yuge aside, and she herself took the blade Fang Minrou had thrust forward!
"Tch!" Fang Minrou's blade plunged into her body with a fierce force. Thankfully, it was slightly off target, hitting her shoulder instead of her chest, or else she would have been dead.
"Qing Luo!" Qing Luo's blood splashed onto Xiao Yu Ge's face. At that moment, she seemed to regain some sanity.
"Miss, don't worry, Qingluo is fine..." Even though it was painful, Qingluo still endured it. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, but until she fainted, she didn't utter a single sound. She was even a little happy. Before, it was always the Miss who protected her, but this time, it was finally her turn to protect the Miss!
"Qing Luo!" Xiao Yuge quickly sealed the acupoints around Qing Luo's wound. After confirming that Qing Luo was out of danger, she gently placed her on the ground.
Xiao Yu Ge slowly stood up: "Fang Min Rou, who gave you the guts to hurt my Qing Luo!" That furious gaze seemed to want to torture Fang Min Rou. Just as she saw her figure flicker, she appeared in front of Fang Min Rou in an instant, her slender hand almost simultaneously gripping Fang Min Rou's white neck.
“Xiao Yuge, you...” Fang Manrou looked at Xiao Yuge’s almost ferocious appearance. For the first time, she felt that hellish aura of death. She thought she had long since stopped caring about life and death, but when she met Xiao Yuge’s icy eyes, she felt a deep fear.
As her neck was tightened inch by inch, she struggled. She had always considered herself quite skilled, but in the face of this absolutely overwhelming pressure, she couldn't even muster a bit of martial arts!
"Fang Minrou, letting you go time and time again was my mistake! This time, you will have no chance!" Xiao Yu Ge finished speaking, his red eyes turned cold, and with a sudden force in his hand, there was a sound of "crack".
Fang Minrou's long swan neck was, in that instant, brutally twisted by Xiao Yuge. As those slender fingers slowly loosened, Fang Minrou's body went limp and fell to the ground!
Everyone present couldn't help but swallow in fear. No one had expected that a girl of only ten-odd years, so beautiful and charming, would be so ruthless. She didn't even give her victim a chance to beg for mercy. They all secretly thanked their luck that her slender, graceful fingers weren't around their own necks, or they too might have met the same fate.
And Xiao Yuge's pair of blood-soaked, merciless ice eyes at this moment, I'm afraid were deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone present. They were the most beautiful and cruel eyes, able to charm as well as ensnare!
“Grandmaster Guo Shi, it's your turn!” Xiao Yu Ge was somewhat awake now, but her mind was still clouded by hatred. She fought from the Heavenly Prison to this city wall. Although she wasn't seriously injured, she was indeed exhausted. But at this moment, she was controlled by hatred and only wanted to seek revenge on Guo Shi!
The national master's martial arts were unfathomable, while Xiao Yuge had the blessing of the life and death secret art. Their fight was thrilling and terrifying. Those watching were dazzled but dared not step forward to help.
Qian Si Chen really wanted to rush forward and help Ge'er, but he had just been struck by the National Teacher's palm, almost injuring his heart meridian. He knew deep down that if he went up now, he wouldn't be able to help Ge'er at all.
The Emperor watched this scene with a cold eye. He hadn't expected Xiao Yuge to have the ability to fight the State Teacher, it seemed that this chosen daughter of fortune still had many things he didn't know. He believed the State Teacher wouldn't kill Xiao Yuge, so he did not order them to stop. He wanted to see what other surprises this destined daughter of fortune could bring.
"Guardian Princess, you actually have some skill!" The National Master didn't expect that he couldn't even handle a little girl. He felt a bit anxious. He knew Xiao Yuge must be wearing something impervious to swords and arrows, which allowed her to persevere for so long without tiring. It seemed that Qian Tingxuan had used all his ingenuity to protect this girl.
"Grandmaster Guoshi, tell me about the White-Haired Ones," Xiao Yuge reasoned he must know something. Although her mental faculties hadn't fully recovered, certain deeply ingrained things in her heart she wouldn't forget.
"Give me your death secret, and I'll tell you the whereabouts of your mother!" The Grand Master put all his energy into this fight. This was only the second time in his life he had fought with such focus, but he never imagined it would be against a little girl.
"You actually know my mother!" Xiao Yuge was even more excited when he mentioned her mother: "I won't give you my life and death secret! If you don't tell me, I'll beat you until you do!"
Her arrogant tone made the National Teacher frown: “Xiao Yuge, if I’m not mistaken, you just went into a frenzy because of the losing control of the Life and Death Sutra. You should be severely injured now, persisting will only worsen your heart meridian. You are no longer my opponent, admit defeat!”
"Is that so Then give it a try!" He was right, but Xiao Yuge wouldn't just admit defeat. She had to see the Grand Tutor's cards to have a chance of finding the answers later.
The two fought again, this time even more fiercely than before. Both were injured to varying degrees. As the national teacher had predicted, Xiao Yuge's heart meridian was severely damaged. The harder she tried to hold on, the worse her injuries would become. If not for the Golden Silkworm Armor, she would have collapsed long ago.
The Grand Master hadn't expected that despite her grievous injuries, she could still last this long. In a moment of carelessness, she slapped him on the back with a palm strike. The familiar parched sensation surged through him instantly, and he inwardly cursed!
As expected, a streak of white hair appeared at his temples!
“White hair! So you are the white-haired person!” Xiao Yuge now seemed to understand something, and questioned, “Where is my mother What have you done to her” She never dreamed that the white-haired person she had been searching for was actually the National Teacher!
The Grand Master, seeing his disguise had been exposed, simply stopped pretending and let out a chilling smile: “When you reach the King of Hell, you’ll know.”nd the bush: "I'm going to steal your man!" She finished, then threw a wink at Qian Tingxuan who was sitting there."Grab him Do you think you can" Xiao Yuge raised a delicate eyebrow, unconcerned. "B...
