Soon, dusk fell.
Xia Yuhan, after seeing Sun Liuxiang take a short break, busied herself looking for materials and tools because she wanted to create a more exquisite Hidden Weapon Launcher.
Last time she went to Yile Wangfu, if she hadn't prepared in advance, she and Prince Yile would have likely met with disaster by now.
As for who was so eager to eliminate her or them, Xia Yuhan had no way of knowing. In the capital, she had made enemies; anyone who was displeased could come to toy with her.
The only thing she could do now was to better protect herself, and naturally, Prince Yile as well.
This Hidden Weapon was made for Prince Yile. As for why she was doing this, even she didn't know the specifics. For more chapters, please visit.
...
"Second Sister, why haven't you rested so late? If the General finds out, won't he blame Qiao'er again?" Qiao'er saw Xia Yuhan wandering around Xia Manor all afternoon, asking the household for this and that useless item, and wondered what she was trying to do.
Xia Yuhan naturally wouldn't tell Qiao'er what she was up to: "I've slept a bit too much and need to get up and stretch! Qiao'er, it's getting late; you should go rest."
Qiao'er’s attention was clearly drawn to the pile of miscellaneous items behind Xia Yuhan: "Yes, Second Sister, I understand. But Qiao'er doesn't understand why Second Sister is asking for these useless scraps and other random things."
Xia Yuhan answered Qiao'er generously: "They're all useless things; putting them together is naturally pointless. For more chapters, please visit. Alright, Qiao'er, I see your face is a bit pale; you must be tired too. Go on down!"
Especially when she mentioned "a bit pale," Xia Yuhan deliberately took a careful look at Qiao'er before finally focusing her gaze on Qiaoer's abdomen.
Qiao'er felt nervous inside, fearing that her injury would be exposed. She quickly pretended to be obedient and responded to Xia Yuhan: "Yes, Second Sister, I understand!"
After Qiao'er left, a glint flashed in Xia Yuhan's eyes: Would I be foolish enough to let you see me organizing these useless tools?
However, this glint was clearly seen by a hidden figure in black lurking in the shadows.
He had quietly concealed himself before darkness fell and remained undetected by anyone.
Not long after Qiao'er left, Xia Yuhan began to get busy. She moved the items she would need directly onto the bed. After the last experiment with the Hidden Weapon Launcher, she had gained experience this time while making the launcher, and she was determined that it would not make the same "ping pong" sounds as before.
...
Time passed without her noticing, and suddenly the faint candlelight in the room went out. Then, a shadow rushed in and swiftly subdued Xia Yuhan with a quick motion, dragging her to a hidden corner of the room.
The intruder's movements were extremely fast and unexpected, leaving Xia Yuhan no time to defend herself.
Moreover, her acupoints had been sealed, rendering her completely unable to move or speak; even the Mute Acupoint had been sealed!
However, what puzzled her was that the shadow did not immediately attack but seemed to be waiting for something...
At that moment, Xia Yuhan felt it was very strange. Who was this person? Why had they subdued her but not killed her? Or why didn’t they interrogate her?
Xia Yuhan was very nervous, her heart racing wildly as she anxiously sought a way out.
At this time, she seemed to hear a faint sound of a window opening. Following that, a cold wind swept in, and the figure in black nearby began to move.
Xia Yuhan had no idea what was happening in the room or what the shadow was doing.
She only knew that when she opened her eyes again, the candles in the room were lit once more, and bodies lay scattered around; only one tall shadow stood silently there...
"Who are you?" At this moment, the shadow released her Mute Acupoint.
A ghostly voice came from the shadow. It sounded somewhat familiar and reassuring: "Yuhan, it's me!"
Thus, Xia Yuhan looked in surprise as the shadow removed its mask. She incredulously whispered, "Prince Yile? How did you end up here? And how are you so skilled?"
Indeed, his skills were impressive; from entering the room to subduing her had taken almost no time at all. It was even possible he could have killed her without her noticing.
Cang Yile covered his face again and quickly walked towards Xia Yuhan to release all of her acupoints: "Do not reveal anything about my martial arts. If it weren't to save you, this King wouldn't..."
Xia Yuhan pouted in dissatisfaction, jokingly saying, "Hmph, old fox!"
"What did you say?" The ghostly voice came again. This time, Xia Yuhan was not so lucky; as Cang Yile played a trick, she found herself directly falling into Cang Yile's arms.
Xia Yuhan never expected this to happen. Startled, she stepped back repeatedly, "Don't you understand that men and women shouldn't be too close?"
Cang Yile frowned, "Why are you speaking to This King like that?"
"I, Xia Yuhan, only saw a masked person in black; I didn't see anyone else!" Xia Yuhan was filled with anger, not just because of Cang Yile's earlier teasing but also because he had deceived her before!
"I saved your life!"
"I didn't ask you to save me! Did I need anyone to save me?" If it weren't for his earlier mischief, she wouldn't have spoken to him like this.
Cang Yile's deep eyes appeared even more inscrutable: this woman really wouldn't concede an inch! Haha!
"Xia Yuhan, let's get back on track!"
Seeing his angry expression, Xia Yuhan decided to stop but showed no mercy in her words: "Someone was spying and infringing on my portrait rights and human rights first. However, considering that someone risked their life to help me, I won't hold it against you!"
"What Yu Han said earlier was a response to the prince's spying! I hope the prince thinks twice before spying next time!"
Cang Yile finally understood why Xia Yuhan was so angry today and why she kept making things difficult for him. However, some of her words were hard for him to comprehend: "What is portrait rights? What are human rights? Xia Yuhan, what are you talking about? This King prioritized your safety; there may not be any merit, but there is certainly effort involved!"
He was the new generation of Evil Sovereign; anyone who heard his name in the martial world respected him. Yet, after Xia Yuhan learned of his power, why was she not afraid of him?
Xia Yuhan didn't want to explain too much to Cang Yile and issued an eviction order: "It's late; please leave! Remember to take the body you brought with you!"
Cang Yile was speechless! Woman, This King is saving you!
After finishing those words, Xia Yuhan weakly continued climbing onto the bed and busied herself with her Hidden Weapon Launcher. She was almost done.
Curious after watching for a long time from the rooftop and not understanding what she was doing, Cang Yile moved closer: "What is this? I've been watching for a while and still can't figure it out!"
Xia Yuhan held the launcher and stared at Cang Yile, "Does the prince come here to spy every night? That's why you are so familiar with the place, sneaking in without anyone noticing?"
"Is This King that bored?" His serious tone left no room for argument!
In truth, he really did come here every night to enjoy the scenery...
After he realized this, he found it somewhat strange—why did he come every night?
"By the way, Xia Yuhan, on a serious note, regarding the assassination that happened in the royal residence, This King looked into it. Those men in black were not sent from the palace; they are genuine people from the Jianghu. Investigating this will be quite difficult, so you must be cautious. This King cannot always protect you. This is an urgent update."
"Today This King came late at night because of this matter. The skilled fighters around me have been sent on important tasks, so only This King could come personally. Don't be ungrateful!"
Xia Yuhan put down what she was holding and looked at Cang Yile seriously, "Yu Han is curious. I, Xia Yuhan, am just a second daughter from Xia Manor, someone who can't even make it to the main stage. Why do you value my life so much? Why send skilled fighters to protect me?"
"As for why, you will naturally know in the future!"
Xia Yuhan did not expect Cang Yile to look so serious; he appeared to have an overwhelming authority: "Yu Han feels that at this moment, the prince resembles that mysterious person."
"Nonsense! Would This King casually imitate a mysterious person? If anything, it would be the other way around!"
He didn't want to continue this banter with Xia Yuhan, but for some reason, once he started speaking, he couldn't stop. If it weren't for the sounds coming from outside, he wouldn't have remembered there were still matters to attend to.
"Xia Yuhan, although these men in black are also from Jianghu, they are not the same as those from last time."
"How so?"
"The men in black this time are Professional Assassins. After years of wandering in Jianghu, This King can tell the difference!"
Xia Yuhan continued to busy herself with her Hidden Weapon and sighed inwardly: "Who could be secretly instigating this time? I really don't understand why I, Xia Yuhan, have so many enemies."
Cang Yile's gaze seemed even deeper: "Not necessarily; last time they might have been after This King!"
Xia Yuhan looked at the nearly completed launcher in hand, then glanced at Cang Yile. "Yu Han wants to know, how many people's martial arts in the Azure Dragon Kingdom are above that of the prince?"
"This King’s martial arts are high, but that does not mean there are no experts lurking in the capital who could defeat This King."
In an instant, the entire room fell silent. With a lone man and woman together in a room, plus several dead bodies lying around, Xia Yuhan felt very uncomfortable.
"Prince, please extend your hand over here."
Cang Yile had been curious about what Xia Yuhan was holding from the start, so he extended his right hand. "What is this?"
"This is a Hidden Weapon. You have already seen how powerful it is last time! This type of Hidden Weapon has extremely strong lethality, but its range is short; it must be used when the enemy is within ten meters."
A look of surprise appeared on Cang Yile's face. This thing was actually that powerful? He had seen Xia Yuhan use it before, and it was almost a one-hit kill.
