atient."Is Dr. Wang here to see patientsAn Xuetang hesitated for a moment, "Alright, just wait for me a while."The little servant heaved a sigh of relief and quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Miss An....After An Xuetang finished speaking, Shou'er and Ning'er both said in unison, "Your Highness cannot."

An Xue Tang: “...”

Of course she knew why the two of them were forbidden to leave. Wasn't it because they were afraid that if both of them left, she would be short-handed

But Kang'er is still here, and he's not alone.

Moreover, this trip would only take an hour or two, which she didn't think was a big deal.

But looking at Ning'er and Shou'er's expressions, she knew that this wouldn't work.

In the end, Shou'er remained.

Ning'er should be more composed. She needs to be someone we can trust.

......

Time flies, it feels like just yesterday my son was a baby.

Ning'er had previously sought out the protective brother of Xuntang Valley, and as soon as it was time for Zi Shi (midnight), Xunhu left directly using light kung fu with a package on his back.

And Ning'er had already left the mansion before him. Before she left, she had discussed with her escort how they would travel out of the city.

Knowing the route, she came out ahead of time to arrange others to set up ambushes at various points along the way. After all, they couldn't guess where those people intended to make their move.

After leaving the palace, Xunhu walked a long distance without finding anyone following him. He could only continue towards the city gate.

I thought he would have to leave the city before the mastermind behind this would appear, but unexpectedly, someone appeared about three miles from the city gate.

Only then did they see a man in white, standing out strikingly against the dark night as if he were afraid of being overlooked.

It could be said... to be very ostentatious.

The man in white scanned Xún Hù's chest with a meaningful, enigmatic gaze. He didn't answer Xún Hù's question, but instead said slowly, "Hand over the thing, and I'll let you die painlessly."

" When Xi heard this, he burst into laughter. " "You have quite the nerve,"

"Cut the crap, where's the stuff"

“What is it” Xunhu pretended to be clueless, thinking to himself that the person lurking in the shadows should have already notified Ning’er.

He wasn't sure if he could take down the man in front of him alone, or if it would be better to wait for Ning'er to arrive and act together.

So, what he needed to do now was procrastinate.

The man saw that he was still pretending at this point and a mocking smile curled up on his lips, “What's the point of struggling now Whether you die early or late, you're going to die anyway. You have to hand over the thing sooner or later, don't you”

Ninger was not far from the city gate. After receiving the news, she used her light kung fu to rush over.

Xun Hu was still thinking about how to delay time, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Ning'er leap down from the beams of a house not far away.

Not only did Xún Hù see Níng'er, but the man in white also saw her. However, he only saw a young girl and his expression didn't change at all, as if he wasn't treating either Níng'er or Xún Hù as important.

In a short while, Ning'er had already dashed to the white-clad man's rear, and she and Xún Hù flanked him from both sides.

And other hidden personnel gradually arrived as well.

The man in white saw through their plan at once. Princess of the Northern Border had played a clever trick on them, making it clear that their plans for tonight were foiled. In this case, there was no need to snatch the letter anymore.

It's just that these little kids want to grab him Well, it depends if they have the ability.

The man in white chuckled softly, "I've always heard that the people of Xuntang Valley are highly skilled in martial arts. It seems I'm fortunate enough to spar with you all today"

After he spoke, Ning'er was taken aback. His accent

Very familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, Ning'er narrowed her eyes slightly, "You are from the Western Regions, but your Mandarin is quite good."

Although his Mandarin was impeccable, the average person couldn't tell. But coincidentally, Ning’er had heard a Western Regions native speak Mandarin a few days ago, and the way this man spoke was exactly the same.

And perhaps the people of the Western Regions did not even realize that when they spoke, they intentionally emphasized the pronunciation of certain words.

The man in white apparently hadn't expected Ninger to be able to guess he was from the Western Regions just by hearing his voice. He was taken aback for a moment, but only for an instant.

After regaining his composure, his gaze fell upon Ning'er's face. "I didn't expect you to be such a capable lass, and you're quite beautiful as well. Why don't you come with me"

“...”

When Xun Hu and the other brothers of the Xun Tang Valley heard that 'gentle and lovely' was used to describe Ning'er, they subconsciously twitched their mouths.

Brother, you don't even need to open your eyes to lie this badly!

Ning'er was notorious for being a cold beauty. In her daily life, she rarely showed any extra expressions on her face. Sometimes when her calm gaze locked onto you, your body would tremble with fear, as if dreading the next words out of her mouth: "Let's have a spar."

Shouer and Kang'er readily agreed to spar with each other, nodding cheerfully. But when it came to Ning'er's sparring session, she showed no mercy whatsoever. It was as if she wanted to beat them to a pulp.

The worst part is that after they're done, they'll seriously and solemnly point out where you need to improve!

They said that they had known Ninger for many years and had grown up with her, but they had never felt the "gentle and kind" demeanor on Ninger.

As for the words of the man in white, Ning'er listened with an unchanged expression on her face. She only walked two steps toward the man, as if she hadn't heard what he had just said, and calmly asked:

"So...are you waiting for the drug on your body to take effect on us Waiting for us all to pass out"

"!!"

A hint of a crack finally appeared on the white-clad man's face.

How could she know

Catching sight of his astonished expression, Ning'er knew she had guessed correctly.

The strong miasma, illusions, and drugs of the Western Regions people could render someone unconscious instantly. If it weren't for the fact that their Queen had already developed an antidote, she and Xunhu and others would have collapsed by now.

This man, after realizing things had gone wrong, never considered leaving. He was still waiting for the medicine's effects to kick in, hoping that he could single-handedly cause them all to lose everything.

It's a pity that he overestimated himself and underestimated the queen's ability to detoxify.

Oh, that's right. Ordinary people wouldn't know how skilled their princess is in medicine and poison.

The man in white looked around, seeing that the group of people before him showed no signs of poisoning at all. They stood firm and steady one by one.

He instantly realized that the scent of poison from his pouches didn't affect them at all.

The poisons of the Western Regions' demon clan were generally irresistible to ordinary people. Even if they weren't given an antidote beforehand, just a whiff of the poison-laced air would send them into instant unconsciousness.

What is going on

Before the man in white could think further, he saw Ning'er already attacking him.

Xun Hu and others also made their move, surrounding the man in white. Though they attacked him together, one had to admit, this man's light skills were truly exceptional. Even Ning Er couldn't match his speed, being only half as quick.

No wonder he wasn't flustered even as more and more people surrounded him. First, he had such a powerful poison pill on him, and second, he had this exceptional light kung fu.

In the midst of the chaos, a man in white suddenly let out a laugh, "I didn't expect you little girl to be so skilled. I like it, come be my wife."

Ning'er frowned, "I think being a mother isn't bad either."m, “A-Jing, your words sound like you’re regretting that no one wanted to be childhood sweethearts with you from a young age”Mo Yunjing chuckled, gently ruffling her head, "Tangtang knows I don't mean...
