Chapter 345: The New Twelve Guards Appear

Ling Shangguan said, "The Seventh Young Master sent me here."

Xuan Liu's eyes lit up. "The Seventh Young Master? How is he doing in the capital?"

Ling Shangguan replied truthfully, "The Duke's Manor is playing tricks, and the Chancellor has been thrown into prison. You know the Heir Prince can't be relied upon. Now, the entire Chancellor's Mansion depends on the Seventh Young Master to defend it."

Xuan Liu immediately stood up and walked out.

Ling Shangguan stopped him. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Xuan Liu spoke in a cold tone. "I'm going to kill Lu Yuan, and then rush back to the capital to help the Seventh Young Master!"

Ling Shangguan shook his head. "That person isn't Lu Yuan, it's Luo San. They swapped identities; otherwise, how could they have framed the Chancellor? Alas, it's a long story. In any case, I came to find you because of the Seventh Young Master's instructions, and also..." He paused, "the Chancellor's wishes."

Xuan Liu asked, "What do the Seventh Young Master and Adoptive Father want me to do?"

"Bring back Luo San, and..."

At this point, Ling Shangguan sat down opposite Xuan Liu, his expression complex as he looked at him, "I have a message for you."

Xuan Liu asked, "Who is the message from?"

"The Chancellor." Ling Shangguan sighed, "This time, Lu Yuan has caused a huge mess. He found a lot of evidence of the Chancellor's Mansion's crimes. It won't be easy for the Chancellor to escape punishment, so either you or the Seventh Young Master must take the blame."

"I'll take the blame."

Xuan Liu made his choice without hesitation.

Ling Shangguan wanted to say something but stopped.

After a long pause, he sighed, "Why do this, Xuan Liu?"

Xuan Liu said, "If I don't take the blame, the Seventh Young Master will definitely do it. In his heart, the Adoptive Father is the most important person."

Ling Shangguan said, "Then let him go. Sixth Young Master, to be honest, I find you more agreeable than the Seventh Young Master."

Xuan Liu spoke softly, "You wouldn't understand. Ever since I entered the Chancellor's Mansion, only the Seventh Young Master has treated me like a person. All of you have treated me as a tool for killing. If it weren't for the Seventh Young Master, I wouldn't have recognized the Chancellor as my Adoptive Father, nor would I have risked my life for him."

"I'm not as smart as you. I don't understand your conspiracies and schemes. I only know that if I listen to the Seventh Young Master, I can survive."

The situation in the Chancellor's Mansion was complex, and it wasn't a place where one could rest easy solely based on martial arts skills.

They had secretly called him a fool, and they were two-faced, often putting him in a difficult position.

The Seventh Young Master knew how to deal with those people, and gradually, no one dared to treat him that way again.

As long as the Seventh Young Master was there, he could be a simple killer.

After listening to Xuan Liu's words, Ling Shangguan said with mixed feelings, "Sixth Young Master, with your skills, you can escape the pursuit of the Chancellor's Mansion and never return to the capital. The world is vast, and there's always a place for you to hide. The Seventh Young Master is different; he can't escape or flee."

Xuan Liu said, "But as long as I take the blame, he won't be in trouble, right? Although the Seventh Young Master doesn't have martial arts skills, he has a brain, and he'll live longer than me."

Suddenly, Ling Shangguan didn't know what to say.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Xuan Liu nodded firmly. "Yes."

Ling Shangguan sighed. "Alright, let's go back to the capital."

Xuan Liu frowned. "But what about Luo San..."

Ling Shangguan clicked his tongue. "You're injured, and you're still thinking about catching Luo San? Someone else will do it for you. Just follow me back to the capital and take the blame."

How did you recognize me? Where did I slip up? Was it my martial arts, my voice, or my veil? I clearly used a new technique, and my voice changed. Was my veil too thin?"

Si She took out a colorful seashell from her bosom.

The woman was even more surprised, "I only gave my shell to that little girl in the Duke's Manor. She gave it to you? What an ungrateful little thing! Do you know how precious my shell is?"

Bao Shu was not interested in anything that wasn't money or edible.

She had forgotten about the shell and dropped it in her pocket.

After returning to the Duke's Manor, she dropped it in the small garden, where Si She found it.

Si She didn't mention this to anyone, not even Meng Qianqian.

Suddenly, the woman covered her face and said shyly, "Oh, why are you carrying my things with you? Do you have feelings for me?"

Si She said, "Mao Tu, that's enough."

The woman smiled and removed her hands, her smile fading as she said, "It's been a long time, Si She. You're still as boring as ever. Compared to you, I prefer that chicken that fluffs up at the slightest provocation."

Si She asked, "Did the Chancellor send you?"

The woman smiled brightly, "You guessed right again."

Si She continued, "Did you betray Commander Chu back then?"

The woman laughed, "So what if I did? And so what if I didn't?"

Si She's voice turned cold, "If you did, you must die."

The woman sighed lightly, "You're truly insensitive. Why kill even women? Shouldn't you men cherish them?"

Si She's emotions remained unchanged from beginning to end, "In my eyes, there's no distinction between men and women, only those I want to kill and those I don't."

The woman scolded, "Oh, why are you so angry? We all lost a bet to that guy and ended up working for him. With his death, the debt is settled. You don't really consider him your master, do you?"

As she spoke, her smile suddenly changed, taking on a deeper meaning, "Or... do you really believe he can help you restore your country?"

The woman approached Si She, and her slender, white fingers touched Si She's lapel, "Your clan abandoned you, yet you still want to go back and save them. You're so kind it breaks my heart."

She moved behind Si She, gently caressing her broad back, "Your expression doesn't agree. Did I guess wrong? You don't want Commander Chu to help you restore your country?"

She slid in front of Si She like water, "Si She, I've never understood you all these years. That's why I dislike you and Yin Hu the most; you're always so unpredictable."

She spoke softly, extending her fair and soft arms to encircle Si She's neck.

But just as her fingertips were about to inject the poison needle into Si She's neck, Si She grabbed her wrist, disarmed her, and threw her onto a tree.

She hooked her foot around the tree trunk, swung around, and sat on a branch, reconnecting her arm. She was in pain, cold sweat dripping, and panting as she glared at Si She, "You really went all out!"

Si She turned around, "You didn't betray Commander Chu. You can go."

The woman endured the pain and watched his departing figure, smiling, "I'm now the Chancellor's person. You're just letting me go?"

Si She shot a flying dagger behind her back.

The woman's beautiful face paled, and she almost had her throat pierced.

Damn!

This snake truly wanted to kill her!

The woman gracefully landed on the ground, gritting her teeth, "Stinky snake! We were once Twelve Guards together, and you have no regard for old ties!"

Si She's expression remained unchanged, "Old ties? I don't have such a thing."
