As expected, it's not a good thing.

  After dinner, without needing any reminder from Xuan Yiran, Lu Ka had already lain down on the bed and fallen asleep.

  She crouched down, leaned against the bedside, and watched as Ruka slept soundly. She let out a soft sigh and smiled faintly. This child must be exhausted.

  She slowly got up, tucked in his quilt, and then walked to the desk, looking down at the sword on it. After a long while, she let out a soft sigh, lifted her head and looked out of the window at the night sky that had already fallen, it was time to go to his room.

  Then, Genjo Sanzo looked back at Ruka who still hadn't woken up before he left, and he slightly felt at ease as he left the room.

  Walking in the corridor of the castle, tonight is too quiet to make her a bit worried. Borrowing from the moonlight taken from outside the wall to see around, but Xuan Yan found that there was no patrol soldier who could be seen at any time before.

  What's going on? Is everyone on holiday or something, otherwise Xuan Yiran wouldn't think this way. He clenched his fists and took heavier steps, the unease and tension in his heart growing slowly.

  She didn't bring a sword for two reasons: one, she had no equipment on her body to hang the sword; and two, because she was going to see the king. If she were to take a sword with her to see the king, others might mistake her for an assassin before she even reached him.

  But there isn't even a single person in sight here, and she's starting to regret it.

  Turning a corner, he walked into the familiar corridor with red carpet, and the eerie silence around him made his heart beat faster. As he walked along the corridor, he soon saw that most familiar door.

  Xuan Xian walked up and raised his hand to knock on the door, but hesitated for a moment before finally knocking softly.

  "Come in!" The man's voice came from inside the room, his tone extremely affirmative, as if he knew that the person outside was her, not someone else.

  Xuan Xian took a deep breath, steeled himself and opened the door. As soon as he stepped into the room, he found it was pitch dark.

  Why not turn on the light? She was just about to ask, when suddenly someone rushed towards her from behind, and before she could dodge, Xuan Yanran was tightly held by that person's sturdy arms, making her cry out in alarm.

  "Hurry... let me go..." The next second, his neck was locked from behind by an arm, making it hard to breathe. Xuan Yan raised his hand to grab the arm and try to break free, but he still lost to the other person's strength.

  Is he going to kill her? As expected, this guy was never a good thing from the start.
