In the middle of the night, in one of the palace's bedrooms, the faint candlelight on the desk flickered, illuminating the surrounding area for a few meters, while the rest of the room was plunged into darkness, making the room look particularly gloomy.

In front of the desk sat a figure, looking carefully at the book in his hand, his face gave a sickly pale, he had already entered middle age, but he looked as young and handsome as twenty years old.

It is the third prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared beside Xu Tianran, but he didn't react, still looking at the book in his hand seriously.

"Your Highness, the news has been confirmed, Xu Lanqing has recognized Kong Deming as his teacher."

The black figure fell to one knee, his hoarse voice emotionless.

Xu Tianran paused, slowly closed the book, and looked at the cover of the book with a slightly empty look, not knowing what he was thinking.

It took him a long time before he came back to his senses and smashed his mouth, with a hint of mockery on his face.

"Hehe, Extreme Ice, now that he worships Kong Deming as his teacher, he should be made the crown prince if he goes down again, right?"

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, similarly, as a son, Xu Tianran knows very well what his father is thinking.

He looked down at his empty pants, his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness, he clearly remembered how painful it was to have to amputate his limb at the beginning, although he had already made the eldest prince who framed him pay the price of blood, and they fought for it for the only throne, but now, the emperor wants to give up the position to a child who is only six years old, how can he be willing.

With Kong Deming behind him, he can almost get the support of most of the ninth-level soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire, coupled with Xu Lanqing's own powerful talent, as long as he is given some more time to grow, the prince is almost certain.

"I remember that you seem to have found out the underground stronghold of the Star Luo Empire in Mingdu before, and you tried to send them this news, presumably they are happy to create some chaos in the empire, remember not to expose it."

Xu Tianran's lowered face flickered in the flickering of the candlelight, like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to its prey.

After a while, he clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly spoke: "Besides, tell that I agreed to their request." ”

If it weren't for the impass, he really didn't want to cooperate with that group of disgusting guys who couldn't see the light, but now he had no choice.

"Yes."

The black figure answered, turning into black smoke and disappearing.

……

The next morning, the drunken morning light shone through the window.

Xu Lanqing woke up in a daze and washed as usual.

The maid who served had already come in with a basin, Xu Lanqing looked at her unfamiliar face, stunned for a moment, and a little puzzled.

"Why are you today, Sister Xiu'er, she came here before."

The maid stepped over, a smile on her delicate face.

"She was accidentally injured just now, so today it is the slave maid who has come to serve you."

The distance gradually narrowed, and the maid bent down to put down the basin in her hand.

"Be careful!"

Electrolux's reminder echoed in his mind.

Xu Lanqing's face changed greatly, the hairs on his body exploded, his skin tingled faintly, he didn't want to think about it, and he was driven by instinct to urge the starry night guard on his right index finger.

A shield with a diameter of two meters spread instantly, and the silver-white shield was covered with irregular shining light clusters, flowing slowly, and Xu Lanqing in it seemed to be surrounded by stars.

In the next moment, a cold light as cold as water swept in, violent fluctuations shook the air, and a sharp whistling sound sounded.

"Ding—"

The dagger with the cold aura of the forest slammed into the beautiful shield, emitting a crisp trill, and the waves of qi from the collision between the two raged open, and the room suddenly became a mess, and then collapsed.

Dust and smoke flew and there was a loud noise, and the guards of the royal law enforcement team had already arrived.

The stars flowed on the shield, and the next moment the light shone brightly, and the female assassin bounced away under the shock, and then dissipated, revealing Xu Lanqing, who was standing unharmed in place.

The female assassin's eyes narrowed slightly, her heart shocked, and the dagger was surrounded by eight soul rings.

She was just under the blessing of the martial soul true body, and used the third and eighth soul skills at the same time, the strongest blow that condensed the momentum of her whole body, and she didn't even break the soul guide shield released by a soul warrior, has the soul guide technology of the Sun and Moon Empire been so powerful?

When she couldn't do a blow, she struck again, and she didn't think about getting out alive after the assassination in the palace.

"Thief, you dare!"

A loud shout sounded in the distance like thunder, and then a terrifying soul power descended from the sky, and this area sank in vain.

Under this oppression, the female assassin's figure suddenly froze, but Xu Lanqing acted as if nothing happened, obviously the comer cleverly avoided him, as well as the group of law enforcement teams who hurried over.

The female assassin was pressed to the ground on all fours, hunched over to get up, but could not move, and as soon as her eyes were crossed, she was about to bite through the poison in her mouth and kill herself.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came, and the female assassin was suddenly hit by an invisible blow, bleeding from her seven orifices, her eyes were scattered, and she was completely paralyzed on the ground, her body twitching from time to time.

The fact that he had subdued a Contra-level assassin before he could see anyone could show his strength.

A streamer of light crossed the sky and appeared in front of Xu Lanqing, and the familiar tall figure was the teacher he had just worshipped yesterday, Kong Deming.

"Lan Qing, are you okay?"

Kong Deming asked with concern, his sharp eyes carefully looked at Xu Lanqing, and he breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was not injured.

"Fortunately, there is the starry night guard sent by the teacher yesterday, and the disciple is fine."

In fact, even if there is no starry night guard, he has another teacher Electrolux to rely on, and it is no problem to hold on for a second or two and wait for Kong Deming to arrive, but this will be exposed.

Xu Lanqing, who had survived the catastrophe, glanced at the female assassin fearfully, his violent heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he quickly approached Kong Deming's side again, and then he felt a sense of security.

Kong Deming looked at the female assassin who had passed out with an angry expression.

"The White Tiger Dagger Martial Soul, mutated from the White Tiger Martial Soul, retains the killing power of the White Tiger on the basis of extending the speed to the limit, the top-level Sensitive Attack Martial Soul, except for the Star Luo Empire, the old man has never seen it appear in other places."

"Take it down, interrogate it strictly, and pry out everything you can know!"

"Yes!"

The captain of the Royal Law Enforcement Team respectfully agreed, while two members of the team behind him stepped forward to detain the female assassin and escort her to the palace dungeons.

The captain of the law enforcement knew in his heart that although the interrogation methods of the law enforcement team were numerous and cruel, he could not ask anything about such a dead man, and he could only have the mentality of giving it a try.
