Xiao Yueze's body tensed up for a moment, but soon relaxed.
He answered honestly, "I heard it all."
Shen Luoxi frowned, "What is your purpose?"
As long as Xiao Yueze hesitates in the slightest, she will never show mercy.
But she didn't expect Xiao Yueze to shake his head, and even said firmly: "I will never do anything to hurt you."
Shen Luoxi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
After thinking for a moment, she put the dagger away.
If Xiao Yueze really wanted to attack her, he would have plenty of opportunities, so why wait until now?
She looked Xiao Yueze up and down, "Mr. Xiao, I don't believe that anyone in this world can do something without any purpose, let alone be nice to someone for no reason."
Xiao Yueze met her suspicious eyes, feeling both happy and sad at the same time.
Although he made Shen Luoxi notice him, Shen Luoxi didn't recognize who he was.
He took a deep breath, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his expression suddenly changed.
Xiao Yueze grabbed Shen Luoxi's shoulder and dodged aside, and then several flying knives pierced deeply into the bluestone ground.
Shen Luoxi's face darkened, and he immediately turned his head, and the flying knife with cold light flew towards them from the darkness again.
The two of them ducked aside, looking around with wary eyes.
Shen Luoxi narrowed her eyes. Someone attacked her in broad daylight. Who could it be?
She glanced at Xiao Yueze who was paying attention to her surroundings. The next moment, a sound broke through the air. She quickly dodged and locked the direction of the flying knife, and rushed towards it with a tap of her toes.
The people hiding in the dark realized that they were exposed and no longer hid their strength, but instead threw out more hidden weapons.
Shen Luoxi dodged sideways, but there were too many hidden weapons, and a wound was still made on his body.
Xiao Yueze saw a little blood coming out of her arm, and his expression suddenly darkened.
He glanced around, picked up a stone with his toes and kicked it in that direction, and a man with a sinister look jumped out.
The man's clothes were fat, but he was thin, which showed how many hidden weapons were hidden under his clothes.
When Shen Luoxi saw the man coming out, he reached out and took out a soft sword from the space and slashed at the man.
The man took a step back and threw the concealed weapon at the same time.
Hidden weapons flew towards the two of them like raindrops, but no one could hit them.
But when the hidden weapon dispersed, a long bloody rope suddenly appeared and rushed straight to the door of Shenluo River.
Shen Luoxi frowned and wanted to dodge to the side, but the speed of the long rope was too fast, and she had no time to dodge.
She gritted her teeth and prepared to take the blow, but a huge push pushed her aside.
"Well!"
The long rope pierced Xiao Yueze's shoulder, and the man raised his eyebrows, "Boy, my target is not you. If you leave wisely, you can still survive."
Xiao Yueze saw that the blood that flowed out had turned black, and he knew that the long rope was coated with poison.
He was secretly glad in his heart that fortunately he pushed Shen Luoxi away.
"Who sent you to kill her?" he said coldly.
The man laughed coldly, "This is none of your business. Since you don't want to leave, just be a dead soul under the hook."
"Remember my face well, so you can complain to the King of Hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled up the long rope with all his strength.
Xiao Yueze groaned in pain, and the next moment he saw a flash of cold light, and the long sword cut off the long rope like cutting mud.
The man staggered while holding the long rope. He looked at the long rope that was broken into two parts in disbelief. "How is this possible? My long rope is made of fine steel. It can be chopped with knives and cannot be melted by fire..."
Before he could recover from the shock, the soft sword was placed across his neck.
Shen Luoxi looked at him coldly, "There is nothing in this world that can't be cut off forever, and the next thing that gets cut off is your life."
"Who sent you to kill me?"
The man glanced at Shen Luoxi and suddenly laughed.
"I didn't expect that I had killed so many people, and today I would fall into the hands of a little girl like you!"
Shen Luoxi brought the soft sword closer to his neck, and blood immediately followed the sword.
"I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you, just tell me."
"I don't know, I only know that you are a noble person in the palace." The man smiled and said: "Little girl, you have offended the noble person, and the noble person will never let you go."
Shen Luoxi's eyes flashed, "This is my business."
The man smiled and then slammed into Shen Luoxi's soft sword.
The soft sword cut the man's throat, and he fell to the ground, blood instantly staining the ground red.
Shen Luoxi wiped the blood off the sword and put it away. She turned around and walked towards Xiao Yueze. Seeing that his lips had lost all color, she took out a medicine from the space and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Don't swallow it, keep it in your mouth." She said solemnly: "Take off your top."
Xiao Yueze hesitated a little, but still obeyed obediently.
A layer of pale pink appeared on his bloodless face due to the poisoning. He watched nervously as Shen Luoxi carefully cleaned his wounds. His warm breath hit his shoulders, making him shiver.
Shen Luoxi thought she had hurt him, so she moved more gently and said, "Be patient."
Xiao Yueze nodded, and after a moment, the blood on the wound was cleaned up.
"That man put a piercing on the long rope. Fortunately, you are strong and healthy, and you will be fine if you hold on for a while."
"When the medicine in your mouth becomes bitter, spit it out and the poison will be gone."
Xiao Yueze nodded obediently and spit out the medicine after a moment.
Shen Luoxi looked at the blood that had returned to color and patted the ashes on her body. She rolled her eyes and said, "Master Xiao has been protecting me secretly?"
Xiao Yueze's hand in tying his clothes paused for a moment, and then nodded solemnly, "I came to the capital to make a living. If the girl doesn't dislike it, I am willing to be her guard!"
He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he missed it, he didn't know what would come next.
"May I have your name?"
"Xiao Yueze."
Shen Luoxi was stunned. There was also a person named Xiao Yueze among the people she knew, but his appearance did not match the person in front of her.
"Girl?" Xiao Yueze called softly.
Shen Luoxi looked at him meaningfully and answered in no hurry, "I do need a guard now, and Young Master Xiao's martial arts are indeed suitable."
"It's just that a lot of things happened today, and I really don't have the energy to think about it. I'll give Mr. Xiao an answer next time we meet."
After that, she turned and left.
Xiao Yueze watched her go away and sighed slightly.
At this time, Shen Luoxi returned to the palace as quickly as possible.
After getting off the carriage, she went straight to Cang Yunxuan's study, but she didn't see him.
"The prince hasn't come back yet. Princess, please wait in the study for a while." The guard said cautiously.
Shen Luoxi nodded solemnly, not expecting that today would be such an unlucky day.
She stood by Cang Yunxuan's desk, picked up a military book, and a letter fell to the ground.
