Chapter 186: The Tang Sect Master’s Child Clings to Her

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Tang Sect Master’s Child Clings to Her

Chu Baihan also sensed the danger the moment it arose.

She swiftly retreated, trying to dodge the sharp arrow.

But it was at this moment that a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her out of nowhere.

With a "thud," the arrow was knocked down.

But immediately after, many men in black emerged.

People nearby kept screaming, then dodging.

Chu Baihan hesitated as she looked at the back of the man before her...

At first, she was somewhat puzzled, until she saw his familiar silver mask, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.

It turned out... it was Tang Ze.

Seeing more and more people rushing in, Tang Ze commanded in a cold voice, "Tang Yu, kill them all."

His voice harbored a contempt for all humanity.

"Yes, my lord."

Tang Yu immediately drew his sword, his companions engaging swiftly with the men in black.

Upon seeing this, Chu Baihan also drew her soft sword from her waist, intending to deal with these men in black herself.

But when she raised her hand, she found it trembling uncontrollably, unable to steady the soft sword.

This discovery left her feeling somewhat desolate.

It was then that Tang Ze suddenly turned around and grasped her wrist.

"Leave it to me."

He then took the soft sword from her hand.

Following that, every one of the men in black who came close fell to his blade.

Chu Baihan and Ruolan found themselves with no part to play.

When only one captive remained, Tang Ze did not speak but instead stepped back.

Chu Baihan understood his intention; he was leaving her to do the questioning.

He always acted decisively, disliking any need for excessive explanation.

Chu Baihan quickly walked up to the last captive.

"Who sent you?" she asked coldly.

"Princess, please spare my life," the man begged tearfully.

"Princess? You know my identity, so the one who sent you is... Prince Xu, or perhaps one of my imperial brothers, one of my Emperors, or one of my imperial sisters?"

Chu Baihan said with a cold laugh.

Listening to Chu Baihan, the man in black turned deathly pale.

"Speak, I am not patient," Chu Baihan’s tone grew colder.

"It was Princess Five," the man lowered his head, answering in terror.

Princess Five?

It was her younger imperial sister, Nan Leshi.

A mocking light flashed through Chu Baihan’s eyes.

Her jealousy at their father’s favoritism towards Chu Baihan, her scheming against her, had not been a secret for days.

What she didn’t expect was that the other party would dare to act so soon after her return to Nanduan Kingdom.

And even to hire so many third-rate assassins.

"Tang Yu, you..."

Chu Baihan originally intended to have Tang Yu dispose of this last captive.

But as she began to speak, she remembered that Tang Yu’s true master was still standing beside her. Was it presumptuous to command him?

"Tang Yu, leave no survivors," Tang Ze finally spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, Pavilion Master," Tang Yu nodded and then slit the last captive’s throat.

The citizens hiding in the shadows shivered as they witnessed this scene.

The spectacle was too gory...

Also, that young noblewoman was their Yan Country’s esteemed Princess Chu Baihan.

She actually came to such a place?

And those two men, one called "Tang Yu" and the other "Pavilion Master"—couldn’t they be...

Tang Sect people?

Thinking of this, everyone fiercely swallowed, feeling even more uneasy.

It was said that the Tang Sect was very mysterious, and anyone who had seen them needed to be silenced.

Would they also have to die?

Even from a distance, Chu Baihan could feel their fear.

She helplessly pressed her brow. Weren’t the people from Tang Sect usually very low-key?

Why were they being so high-profile today? She also couldn’t silence so many mouths.

She didn’t know if Tang Ze would make a move against these innocent civilians...

But just when she was feeling utterly helpless, Tang Ze suddenly spoke in a cold voice, "Don’t worry, I won’t harm them."

"Hm?" Chu Baihan looked at him with a slightly strange expression in her eyes.

"What? You don’t believe me? Do you see me as a brutally violent person?" Tang Ze’s eyes darkened, his tone becoming much more dangerous.

"Cough, of course not." Chu Baihan quickly shook her head.

If he were violent, he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to save her life several times after she had helped him back then.

However, why did the tone of his voice...

Give her a strangely familiar feeling?

Chu Baihan slightly lifted her eyes, looking at Tang Ze with a probing gaze, but he had already averted his gaze.

She couldn’t figure out anything.

Suddenly, she felt a gaze from the second floor.

She immediately looked up, quickly spotting Nan Zhou standing there.

He silently told her that he needed to leave first.

Soon, he disappeared on the second floor.

"Thinking of collaborating with Nan Zhou, intending to overthrow Prince Xu?" Tang Ze spoke in a deep voice beside her ear.

Chu Baihan’s eyelid twitched, she glanced at him sideways.

Unexpectedly, even though he wasn’t from Nanduan Kingdom, he knew about Nan Zhou.

"Let’s not talk about my matters. Didn’t you already leave the capital city? Why are you still here?" she asked with an unnatural tone.

Standing beside him, she always felt a kind of restraint.

"When did I ever say I had left Nanduan Kingdom?" Tang Ze asked somberly in return.

"You..."

Chu Baihan opened her mouth, only then realizing that he apparently had never said he had left.

"You, every time you came to Nanduan Kingdom before, didn’t you always leave right away? Why this time..."

Quickly regaining her composure, Chu Baihan seriously retorted.

"Over the years, I’ve grown tired of drifting among the countries, so I’ve decided to stay in Nanduan Kingdom. It just so happens that your royal brother has asked me to be his Think Tank."

Tang Ze stood with his hands behind his back, answering unhurriedly.

"You’re staying in Nanduan Kingdom, and my royal brother wants you to be the Think Tank?" Chu Baihan’s expression was incredibly surprised.

Ruolan was also very surprised.

Although Pavilion Master Tang was very powerful, if he could help the Crown Prince, they were absolutely confident that they could overthrow Prince Xu.

But the problem lay in...

The Tang Sect was a special existence for the countries.

If he became too closely associated with Nanduan Kingdom, it would make it easy for other countries to feel threatened, and the most terrifying thing would be if these countries conspired together against Nanduan Kingdom.

Chu Baihan was silent for a moment, then she quickly let it go and said in a relaxed tone, "In that case, I thank Think Tank Tang."

Internal strife and external threats—without resolving the internal strife, how could the external threats be dealt with?

Let’s deal with Uncle Prince Xu first.

Tang Ze was indeed a powerful ally.

"What are you still standing here for? Aren’t you hurrying back to the Princess Residence? Tang Yu will handle things here."

Seeing Chu Baihan still pondering something, Tang Ze spoke sternly.

"Going back to the Princess Residence? Are you implying that you want to go back with me to the Princess Residence?" Chu Baihan looked at him with a strange expression in her eyes.

"Why not?" Tang Ze asked in a soft voice.

He continued, "I have no relatives in Nanduan Kingdom; do you expect me to be left homeless in the streets?"

Chu Baihan: "..."

The properties of the Tang Sect spanned the world, and yet he claimed to have nowhere to stay?
