Phoenix Returns - C72

Chu Shiyu broke out in a cold sweat, only to see that the masked man on the roof hadn’t moved an inch. He was staring at the entire courtyard, and after seeing that Chu Shiyu had retreated out of the house, he immediately ran away.

“Trying to run ~”

Chu Shiyu chased after her, cutting off the man in black in a deep alley. He threw a few strings at her, and she jumped out of the way, only to see the strings pierce through the stone wall.

If it could pierce through a person’s body, it would have long been riddled with holes.

The String Silk Spell was the ultimate killing technique of the Mu Clan in the North. It wasn’t strange that Chu Shiyu could see it here, but the Mu Clan had never been involved in politics, so why did they suddenly emerge from the martial arts world?

Chu Shiyu had long heard of the Mu Clan in the north, and it was even Old Man Wuya who had told her that the Mu Clan could be considered an upright clan in the martial arts world.

Since many years ago, they had always conducted a business in the north for the sake of not getting involved in the imperial court and not involving themselves in any grudges between the martial arts world and the martial arts world.

He actually made the Mu Clan personally act this time, just to deal with her?

Seeing that his attack had failed, the black clothed man had nowhere to run. He drew out his sword and faced Chu Shanyu head on.

She pulled out her dagger and it clashed with the blade of the sword. Flames flew in all directions, dazzling everyone’s eyes under the moonlight.

Ye Zichen casually took off the mask on the man’s face, revealing a man with a square beard.

Chu Shiyu was shocked, this man … Wasn’t it the man she and Yu Wuyou saw in the cave at the snowy mountain, having fun with the beautiful woman?

The man was around forty years old and had an ordinary appearance. However, compared to Tian Chen, his martial power was above him.

“Who are you? “Why did you kill me?”

The man sneered, “Who told you to meddle in other people’s business. You insisted on coming to the imperial city to throw away your life!”

Before she could finish her sentence, the sword peak pierced towards Chu Shiyu’s heart. She leaned down and slashed her dagger across the man’s left arm, creating a long crack.

The man was shocked. After throwing out a few strings, he ran for his life.

Master Chu stood on the spot and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He thought to himself, this Xue Lan is truly a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. A single Celestial Dust is already very difficult to deal with, even the Mu Clan had been dispatched.

How could she and Yu Wuyou face such difficulties?

Chu Shiyu did not return to the Ministry of Rites, but went to the inn to find Yu Wuyou. Since it was not safe, she might as well stay there comfortably.

At the very least, when he was assassinated, didn’t he still have Yu Wuyou’s help?

“What is it? Now you want to seek refuge with me? “Tell me, who were the people who tried to assassinate you tonight?” Yu Wu You had already guessed that she would be assassinated, so he mocked her!

“Do you know who I met tonight? You wouldn’t believe me if I told you this. I met people from the Mu family and even personally saw their ultimate killing technique, the String Array. This trip to the Snowy Orchid Nation seems to be even more difficult than we expected. ”

“The Mu Clan has always been at peace with the world, why …”

Chu Shiyu sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. This was what she was worried about.

If it was just Tian Chen alone, it wouldn’t have taken much effort, but with the Mu family now, she and Yu Wu You would probably not be able to get what they wanted.

Chu Shiyu said, “I still don’t know the reason why the Mu Clan attacked this time, but I discovered something strange? Do you know who that man is? ”

Yu Wuyou gave him a questioning look when Chu Shiyu continued, “Do you still remember that mural we saw on the snowy mountain? It turns out that he was the one who was having fun with the girls. ”

“Oh ~ is that so? “That’s strange, why would he kill you?”

She did not have any more important clues. As long as she knew what grudges this man had with the Snowy Orchid Imperial Family, she would know why he would want to kill and assassinate her.

Chu Shiyu suddenly thought of Xue Wuhen. Finding out about the secrets of the Imperial Family was a difficult task, and he might even be convicted of disrespecting authority and defying the rules.

If she did not go looking for Xue Wuhen, Xue Wuhen would come looking for her as well. He might as well take the initiative to come knocking on her door.

Chu Shiyu whispered into Yu Wuyou’s ear and left the inn with a sneer.

Yu Wuyou shook his head, looking at her back as she left and sighed, “Women are truly terrifying!”

The sky was still dark. Xue Wuhen had brought a large number of imperial guards to the Ministry of Rites. The entire courtyard had been thrown into chaos, but there was no trace of Luo Qing.

Just as he was about to send a team to search, he saw Master Chu appear outside the door.

The moment Xue Wuhen saw her, he closed his eyes in relief!

“Is Lady Luo Qing alright? “I just so happened to send someone to find you. As long as you’re back, I’m afraid that the Ministry of Rites is no longer safe. Lady Luo Qing should stay in the Imperial Palace. It just so happens that Imperial Grandmother misses Lady Luo Qing.”

Xue Wuhen only used his Royal Grandmother as a reason because he was afraid that she would reject. He never thought that Master Chu would quickly come up with a good word for her!

Master Chu had stayed behind, using the reason that he had never seen the Blessing Assembly as a reason. Although this logic was a bit far-fetched, staying behind in the open was still better than sneaking around.

So no matter how concerned Xue Wu Hen was, he had no reason to let her leave Xue Lan.

She lived in an uninhabited palace. Aside from accompanying the old grand imperial concubine, she spent most of her time studying the imperial palace’s map routes, as well as the situation in the imperial court and the imperial court in Xuelan.

After a few days of peace, Chu Shiyu called for a pen and ink, and the man and woman who painted the mural came out.

He even imitated the scene of men and women merrily singing and making fun of each other, causing the maid who brought the tea to run out the door in fright.

He thought to himself, “How could this Lady Luo Qing be so shameless as to draw such a shameless portrait?”

Very soon, this matter reached Xue Wuhen’s ears, because she was a guest bestowed by the Emperor and treated him with respect in the Imperial Palace.

Since they were guests invited by the crown prince and the grand imperial concubine, they paid particular attention to etiquette.

Xue Wuhen came to Luo Qing’s palace. He did not have the courage to step in several times, he was afraid that he would be disappointed when he saw a different Luo Qing.

If royal father knew, he would definitely punish her. However, in the recent years, Xue Feiyang rarely visited the imperial harem, and at most, he would just visit the grand imperial concubine before leaving.

Xue Wuhen paused outside the hall, and the sound of something being broken could be heard from inside.

As he walked into the main hall, he saw Luo Qing wiping the ink off the paper. After drying her hands, an unsightly painting appeared.

He had wanted to ask what had happened, but she had simply knocked over the ink.

“Luo Qing ~”

After hearing the voice, Chu Shiyu turned around and saw Xue Wuhen standing awkwardly behind him with a stiff face.

“Your Highness, why have you come here, and why haven’t you allowed anyone to report to you? “Looking at my hands, I’m afraid I won’t be able to bow.”

Xue Wuhen coughed lightly and looked at her ink-stained arm. He then slowly walked to the stool and sat down.

He felt that he should get to know Luo Qing again. Now that she had the Song of the Phoenix, she didn’t want to leave the capital, and now she was using painting to defile the imperial harem. Other than wanting to climb the dragon and cling to the phoenix, he couldn’t think of Luo Qing’s purpose.

Luo Qing’s expression did not change, as if nothing had happened. She continued to wipe away the paintings.

Xue Wuhen could not help but open his mouth, “Lady Luo Qing, ever since I’ve seen you, my body has been full of pride, disdain for power, and I’m also very smart. Why would I covet the harem?”

“What?”

Did Chu Shiyu hear it, and think that she had made these paintings to seduce Snowfly?
