Xue Qinghe was attacked

"An assassin!!"

Qian Renxue cried out in surprise and pounced on Lin Yue, catching him and knocking him to the ground.

"Be careful, don't make a sound!"

Qian Renxue skillfully covered Lin Yue's mouth and looked up out the window.

Such assassinations... she experienced almost every year before she eliminated those good brothers.

He just never expected that even though those people Mingdu already dead, someone would still attack him Heaven Dou Crown Prince...

Could it be... someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Or the only remaining Prince Xue? Or perhaps his younger brother, who's pretending to be a playboy?

Qian Renxue's gaze was cold and sharp as she stared out the window, completely unaware that her appearance was gradually changing...

As Qian Renxue flipped him over and pinned him to the ground, Lin Yue felt a faint jasmine fragrance waft over. Looking up slightly, he could see Qian Renxue's increasingly fair skin.

Especially now, with her clothes loose, her fair cleavage was clearly visible on her face, causing Lin Yue's heart to flutter for a moment. He closed his eyes and whispered:

"Your Crown Prince... you... how can you be a woman?"

"What?"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and her face turned pale with shock when she sensed the failure of her Spirit Bone.

That attack just now actually caused the disguise of her Spirit Bone to fail!

Realizing that her current body could no longer support Xue Qinghe's clothes, Qian Renxue's face immediately turned red.

"Don't look!"

The girl suddenly covered Lin Yue's eyes and warned him in a low voice:

"If you dare to reveal this secret..."

"I know, I know! Her Crown Prince works tirelessly for the country, disguising herself as a man, all for the sake of revitalizing the Heaven Dou Empire. I would never reveal this secret, even if it meant my death."

Lin Yue spoke fluently, nodding his head like a rattle drum.

"Um?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appearing on her beautiful face.

Having already revealed his true identity, he still believes he is a woman from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?

Indeed, she has never revealed her connection to the Spirit Hall, and over the years she has truly worked diligently to serve the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Thinking about it this way, the possibility of her disguising herself as a man to revitalize the empire is far greater than the possibility of external forces feigning a usurpation...

Unexpectedly, Lin Yue even spontaneously found such a reasonable explanation for her. Qian Renxue's expression immediately softened, and the thought of locking Lin Yue in the secret room faded slightly.

Fortunately, although the woman's identity was exposed, as long as Xue Qinghe's disguise was not discovered, she could still communicate normally with Lin Yue.

Realizing that her biggest secret was still kept, Qian Renxue let out a long breath, leaned forward slightly, and pressed her soft, full breasts against Lin Yue's cheek.

"Ah!!"

Screams of agony echoed from outside the door. A group of assassins, clad entirely in black, swiftly dispatched the guards and stormed into the courtyard!

With the warmth and softness on his cheek, Lin Yue straightened his head and looked out the window, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

Because the leader of this group of assassins was none other than a Seven-Ring Soul Sage!!

"Your Crown Prince, who have you offended? Why would there be such an assassin?"

"You... you let go first!"

Feeling her waist being pulled into this brat's arms, Qian Renxue's face flushed red, and she glared angrily at Lin Yue with her beautiful eyes.

"Your Crown Prince, please forgive my offense, but with assassins at the scene, and given that you, as a member of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, possess no combat power with your Swan Martial Soul, please refrain from such recklessness!"

Lin Yue sternly rebuked Qian Renxue, and although he moved slightly away, he showed no intention of letting go.

"You..."

Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment, but then she remembered that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's inherited Martial Soul was indeed Swan... Once she revealed her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, her identity would be completely exposed. She could only purse her red lips and stare fiercely at Lin Yue with her beautiful eyes.

"Loosen your grip a little, don't hold me so tightly..."

"Your Crown Prince, instead of worrying about me, you should quickly call for the guards. There are far too many assassins today."

Without the slightest hint of jest, Lin Yue's expression was solemn as he warily surveyed the assassins who had completely surrounded the Crown Prince's palace.

Under the cover of night, their movements were completely silent. Apart from a few faint screams, the entire Crown Prince's palace fell into absolute silence.

To be able to cause such a commotion in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, the other party clearly came with a plan and was definitely not a rabble!

"What? They have so many people?"

Qian Renxue thought that the two Title Douluo would be enough to silently eliminate all those secretly watching, but when she caught sight of more and more assassins in the courtyard, she was shocked.

"Young Master, there are too many of them. We cannot make a move, or we may expose our presence."

Just as Qian Renxue frowned, a warning suddenly rang in her ears from the Snake Lance Douluo, who was gathering his Soul Power.

"There are too many people?"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, raised her head, and sure enough, saw large numbers of men in black emerging from the courtyard, especially in the shadows outside the Crown Prince's palace, where countless spies were lurking!

Indeed, if She Long or the Pufferfish were to make a move at this juncture, it would undoubtedly provoke suspicion. Once their identities as Title Douluo princes are exposed, he, the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, will only face more trouble in the future!

He glanced at Lin Yue and Qian Renxue beside him, their brows furrowed, and felt secretly annoyed.

If it weren't for this little rascal by her side, why would she need to suppress herself? But now she has to play the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe in front of him, unable to even use her own strength...

"Your Crown Prince, can you identify which faction these assassins belong to?"

Lin Yue's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on the group of men in black in the courtyard.

They are disciplined and highly trained, either elite assassins trained by top families or members of an extremely disciplined assassin group!

"I don't know, but they must have had an inside man to have managed to infiltrate my Crown Prince's residence!"

Seeing so many people freely entering and leaving her palace, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, becoming even more furious.

This was the biggest assassination attempt she had ever seen in all her years. Even her former close brothers had never made such a show of force!

Although Xue Qinghe was not favored by his father and was kicked out of the palace shortly after coming of age, establishing his own Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Prince's palace was still only a few streets away from the emperor's palace!

The other party actually managed to cause such a commotion within the Heaven Dou Imperial City. If there wasn't a traitor working on it from within, Qian Renxue would never believe it!

"Your Crown Prince, don't you have any escape routes?"

Seeing that more and more people were gathering outside the study, Lin Yue immediately whispered.

"Yes, it exists, but..."

Recalling the narrow escape tunnel that could only accommodate one person, Qian Renxue's face immediately flushed red.

If she were still maintaining her facade, she could still manage to comfort herself and get by. But to be alone with Lin Yue in the escape tunnel in her current state...

"At this critical moment, Your Highness, please prioritize your own safety!"

Faced with danger, Lin Yue displayed unprecedented calmness and composure. His face no longer showed any of the evasive or dodging manner he used to have. He held Qian Renxue's hand tightly, with utmost solemnity.

Feeling Lin Yue's sincere gaze, Qian Renxue felt relieved and was about to compromise when she suddenly heard a thunderous shout in her ear!

"Your Crown Prince, please come out. Your guards have been dealt with by our men."

Inside the courtyard, the Seven-Ring Soul Sage stood in the center, hands behind his back, and coldly shouted.

"And another thing! Perhaps we could have a chat with that Lin Yue?"

Are you here to see me?

Hearing the words of the leader of the men in black, Lin Yue was greatly shocked.

As if sensing the slight movement coming from the room, the leading Soul Saint stomped the ground and rushed towards the two of them!

The powerful Soul Power instantly destroyed the house! Claws, whipped by a fierce wind, pointed directly at Qian Renxue behind cover!

However, at this moment, Lin Yue gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and completely protected the girl behind him!
