General Lan Zhiguang respectfully said to the man, "National Master, could you help me rescue my daughter? After all, she is the Princess of the Star Dream Kingdom!"
After listening to his words, the man pondered for a moment and then replied calmly, "Hmm, I can do that, but it will have to wait until I deal with the Emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhiguang was very pleased and said, "Yes, thank you, National Master."
From his voice, it seemed that the young man in the Black Brocade Robe and Black Hat had a rather hoarse tone.
This person was the National Master recently found by the Star Dream Kingdom. It was said that he possessed witchcraft unseen by ordinary people and was a descendant of the mysterious Witch Clan.
The Witch Clan lived in a hidden paradise unknown to outsiders. They disliked outsiders entering their world and preferred not to venture into the outside world themselves, believing that the mundane world was dirty and would pollute their souls.
However, there are always exceptions. The National Master of the Star Dream Kingdom was one such exception from the Witch Clan.
He was the only son of the current Witch Clan Leader and was also the most skilled in witchcraft among the younger generation of the Witch Clan.
Feeling that his witchcraft was quite powerful and having no rivals among his peers, he developed a desire to travel in the mundane world.
Thus, a year ago, after careful planning, he quietly slipped out of that hidden paradise and entered the mundane world.
He did not know what method he used, but even his biological father, the Witch Clan Leader, could not find his whereabouts using witchcraft. Therefore, he had been carefree ever since.
After wandering in the mundane world for half a year, he inadvertently arrived at the Star Dream Kingdom and coincidentally encountered its highest ruler.
The Emperor of the Star Dream Kingdom was a very cunning man. Sensing his immense power, he devised a plan to invite him into the imperial palace of the Star Dream Kingdom, using power, status, and women to win him over.
Due to his desire for worldly pleasures, he cast aside the ancestral teachings of the Witch Clan and remained in the Star Dream Kingdom as a National Master who stood above all others.
At this time, Lan Zhiguang encountered great trouble in the Silver Moon Kingdom. Therefore, Lan Zhiguang's younger brother, An Zisu, who is currently the Emperor of the Star Dream Kingdom, sent him to assist in Silver Moon Kingdom while also looking for an opportunity to incorporate Silver Moon Kingdom into his own territory.
While they were conversing, Ben returned to report to Lan Zhiguang.
"Master, I have spoken with Consort Luo, and she has accepted the pill," Ben said respectfully to Lan Zhiguang.
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhiguang nodded slightly and waved his hand gently, signaling for him to leave.
After Ben departed, Lan Zhiguang turned to the National Master and asked, "National Master, is it true that simply placing that pill at the feet of that young girl will make her listen to us?"
"Are you doubting my abilities?" the National Master coldly replied.
Lan Zhiguang quickly responded, "No, I absolutely did not mean that."
"That's good to hear. It's late; I need to rest now. You should also turn in early," the National Master said before leaving the secret chamber.
Once he was gone, Lan Zhiguang also exited the chamber and returned to his room to rest.
Meanwhile, in the Hall of the Wangfu, Luo Bingbing and her companions agreed to publicly announce tomorrow that an assassin had been captured in Prince Luo's Residence and that the assassin had already been executed.
After finalizing their plan, Luo Bingbing summoned Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming to her study.
Once in the study, Luo Bingbing took out a small white vial from her pocket and poured out the last two white pills, handing them to Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming.
After giving them the pills, she said, "Father, your martial arts skills are still too weak. If you encounter another assassin like tonight's, you will be in danger. However, if you take these pills, you can instantly enhance your power by several decades."
Both men were astonished by her words and stared at her in disbelief.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Luo Bingbing smiled lightly and explained, "I developed these while I was on Spirit Mountain. Master Uncle, Yan'er, and my teacher have all taken them and are doing well. Given the current situation, you should take them quickly! Afterward, meditate here to absorb the inner strength. I will set up a formation around this study to prevent any disturbances."
After hearing her words, Lo An Lord and the strategist nodded eagerly and said, "Alright, let's do it."
Thus, Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming began taking the pills and cultivating their energy in Luo Bingbing's study.
Outside the study, Luo Bingbing set up a formation to prevent outsiders from disturbing them before returning to her room to sleep.
Dongfang Hao's Dark Guards stationed around Prince Luo's Residence noticed two assassins entering the residence and couldn't help but think: Here come two more reckless fools; they'll have a show to watch soon.
However, not long after, they saw one of the assassins flying out over the courtyard wall of the residence.
The Dark Guards knew that the Little Princess inside was not someone to be trifled with, so when they saw an assassin manage to come out unscathed, they were all extremely surprised.
After exchanging gestures, one of the Dark Guards quietly followed the assassin who had emerged from the residence.
The Dark Guard followed the assassin to General Lan Zhiguang's residence and then quickly left the general's estate, turning towards the palace to report what they had learned to their master, Dongfang Hao.
After listening to his report, Dongfang Hao nodded slightly and waved his hand to dismiss him.
This was because the Dark Guards stationed around the Empress Dowager had just reported to Dongfang Hao that the Empress Dowager had sent assassins to kill Luo Bingbing. Furthermore, a few days ago, Dongfang Hao had already received news about a mysterious man dressed in a Black Brocade Robe and wearing a Black Hat who had come from the general's estate.
Thus, after the Dark Guard left, Dongfang Hao combined this information and deduced several things.
One was that the two assassins appearing at Prince Luo's Residence tonight included one sent by the Empress Dowager and another sent by Lan Zhiguang. The assassin sent by Lan Zhiguang managed to leave Prince Luo's Residence unharmed likely due to that mysterious man in the Black Brocade Robe and Black Hat.
Thinking of that mysterious man gave Dongfang Hao a dangerous intuition.
However, he was still unclear as to why the Little One did not capture the assassin sent by Lan Zhiguang. Therefore, he planned to visit Prince Luo's Residence tomorrow to ask the Little One about it.
On Mount Ling, Xuan Ye observed celestial phenomena every night. That evening, he suddenly detected that Luo Bingbing would face a significant calamity soon that could threaten her life.
After obtaining this result, he felt very anxious and immediately went to inform his senior brother, Snow Spirit Elder. Upon hearing this, Snow Spirit Elder quickly instructed him to prepare, and together they hurried towards Silver City in Silver Moon Kingdom.
They only hoped they could arrive in time to assist the Little One and help her safely overcome her tribulation.
As Luo Bingbing left Ling Mountain, she had instructed the Snow Spirit Fox and the Phoenix to stay safely on the mountain, promising that she would come to fetch them when the time was right.
Thus, the two obediently remained on Ling Mountain. However, they were not ordinary beings and had little interest in the affairs of mortals, so they usually stayed in the Bottom of the Cliff, a forbidden area.
Xuan Ye and Snow Spirit Elder knew that the two were only close to their precious disciple, so they allowed them to be.
At this moment, they had forgotten about the two creatures still at the Bottom of the Cliff and neglected to have the Phoenix take them to Silver Moon Kingdom's Silver City.
The next day, nearly everyone in Silver City learned that the Little Princess in Prince Luo's Residence had been attacked by an assassin. They also discovered that the assassin's master wanted to prevent Little Princess Luo Bingbing from entering the palace, which was why they sent someone to assassinate her.
Upon receiving this news, the Empress Dowager was furious—not only because of the assassin's incompetence but also due to the Little One's counterattack.
However, she would not allow anyone who obstructed her from entering the palace, so she continued to send people to Prince Luo's Residence to assassinate Luo Bingbing.
Meanwhile, Piaoyun Pavilion remained lively, even without Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming.
They were discussing last night's assassin and how Luo Bingbing should be cautious of the Empress Dowager when she entered the palace.
In the midst of their conversation, Luo Bingbing turned to Du Zhongtian and the other two, saying, “Master Uncle, you three should quickly pack your things and leave Prince Luo's Residence. Head back to Su Residence!”
Upon hearing her words, the three couldn't help but ask, “Why? Why do we have to leave?”
“Because things will be quite unstable at Prince Luo's Residence for a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you all. Moreover, last night's other assassin likely has a powerful backing; you would be no match for him.”
At this point, she glanced at Su Yi and continued, “Especially you; your martial skills are the weakest among us.”
After hearing her words, Su Yi firmly replied, “I won’t leave. Even if my skills are the lowest, I want to stay here. Perhaps I can help in some small way?”
“We won't leave either,” Du Zhongtian and Su Yan chimed in one after another.
Luo Bingbing furrowed her brow slightly after hearing their words and coldly said to them, "Leave quickly before dark."
"I won't leave unless I'm dead," Du Zhongtian stated resolutely.
"Yes, unless we die. Even if you send everyone outside away, we will still find a way to come back," Su Yan said earnestly.
Seeing their attitude, Luo Bingbing had no choice but to relent and let them be.
In the study, Lo An Lord and Gongsun Ming were still working hard to conquer the sudden internal energy that had appeared within them, continuously absorbing that power.
Because Lo An Lord had been staying in Luo Bingbing's study, Consort Luo and her daughter planned to take the opportunity of greeting Lo An Lord to approach Luo Bingbing and drop a pill at her feet. However, they did not come to Piaoyun Pavilion today.
They only knew that Lo An Lord and the strategist were not in the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion, unaware that they were both practicing in the study.
In the evening, just as Dongfang Hao was about to arrive at Prince Luo's Residence, Ye Feng suddenly appeared before him and reported, "Your Highness, I have found out the identity of the mysterious man who appeared at the General's residence."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Dongfang Hao quickly replied, "Speak in detail."
"Yes." After a brief pause, Ye Feng continued, "I have discovered that the mysterious man is the national teacher of General Lan Zhiguang's country. That country is the Star Dream Kingdom located in the southwest. According to the citizens of Star Dream Kingdom, their national teacher is no ordinary person and possesses abilities beyond those of mortals."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly and remained silent for a long time.
Ye Feng understood that at this moment, the prince was deep in thought, contemplating how to deal with that mysterious man.
After a while, Dongfang Hao said to Ye Feng, "Send more people to keep an eye on the Cold Palace and the General's residence. If they show any signs of rebellion, kill without mercy."
"Understood. I will arrange it immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng took his leave from Dongfang Hao and left the palace to return to the Demon Palace.
At this moment, the sky had darkened, and Mu Xi had already arrived at the palace. Therefore, Dongfang Hao decided not to go to Prince Luo's Residence tonight; he planned to visit the residence tomorrow during the day to inquire about the situation from the Little One.
In the deep of night, with stars scattered across the sky, silence enveloped everything.
Outside the walls of Prince Luo's Residence, two shadows appeared. Judging by their figures, they were petite and delicate, seemingly female.
Without a doubt, these two were the assassins sent by the Empress Dowager tonight.
The two moved stealthily through the royal residence, evading the Minggang guards stationed within. Clearly, their skills and wits surpassed those of the assassin from last night.
Since that assassin was still recuperating inside Prince Luo's Residence, he had not received any news about these two assassins coming to attack Luo Bingbing.
However, as soon as the two assassins infiltrated Prince Luo's Residence, Luo Bingbing sensed their presence.
Yet she remained silent, simply rising gently and walking into the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion.
The reason she chose to leave her room was that Lo An Lord and Gongsun Ming were still practicing in the study; she did not want those two assassins to disturb them.
The two assassins made their way to Piaoyun Pavilion, while Duzhong Celestial Master and Apprentice, who had already sensed their arrival, also came to the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion.
Thus, as soon as the two assassins arrived at Piaoyun Pavilion, they found three people waiting for them in the courtyard.
