You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 65: 27. Sahara Six Elements Life Talisman



"There's an assassin!!" Lin Yue looked at the stranger who had suddenly appeared before him and really wanted to scream like ancient princes did when they faced assassination attempts. But the fact that the person could pass through the protection of the Bitter Sea Scholarly Boat, and not even the adjacent Baili Fengzhi noticed anything, to brazenly appear in front of him... One could imagine their strength. Screaming, he figured, would probably only anger the other party. The dark-clad assassin before him, although masked with a black cloth and deliberately speaking in a muffled tone, had a petite and exquisite figure, with a smooth and fair forehead and a pair of round, bright, and clear eyes revealed. Clearly, she was a very young girl. "Hey, I'm asking you, are you the Prince?" the dark-clad girl asked again, her voice muffled. "Huh? No, I'm not." Lin Yue looked at her, baffled, and then sincerely said to her, "Miss, you must have mistaken me for someone else. Why don't you check next door?" "Oh... sorry." The dark-clad girl scratched her head, stood up, and vanished from the room with a turn. "..." Lin Yue was momentarily stunned. She just left? This female assassin, why did she seem a bit dense? He had encountered cunning opponents one after another recently, and now suddenly dealing with such a simple-minded one threw him off. Lin Yue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, about to call for Baili Fengzhi when he discovered the dark-clad girl had appeared before him once again. "What's wrong?" Lin Yue's heart tensed again. "The next room has a sister." The dark-clad girl said in her muffled voice: "There are only you two in the entire building; the Prince can't possibly be a woman, right? I think it must be you." "I really am not the Prince, believe me, Miss." Lin Yue earnestly said: "We've never met before, why would I lie to you?" "Oh... you're not lying; that makes sense." The dark-clad girl tilted her head, looking at him, then thought for a moment and disappeared again. Where did such an innocent fool come from... Lin Yue secretly let out a sigh of relief and immediately got out of bed to knock on the wall next door. "Whoosh!" A gust of wind stirred, and the door suddenly opened; Baili Fengzhi appeared in the room. "Your Highness, what's wrong?" Baili Fengzhi asked. "There was... an unknown dark-clad woman." Lin Yue said: "She infiltrated my room just now." He wanted to say there was an assassin, but somehow he couldn't connect the foolishly simple dark-clad girl with an assassin. What kind of assassin could be so foolish? "What?" Baili Fengzhi was slightly taken aback, and suddenly vigilantly looked around, asking: "Your Highness, just now? I didn't notice anyone infiltrating. Where is she now?" "It was just now; she's already gone, you really didn't notice." Lin Yue sighed and said: "That dark-clad girl came and went like a phantom, but was a bit... a bit clumsy." "Ah?" Baili Fengzhi didn't understand. Lin Yue didn't know how else to explain and could only shake his head: "In short, she's a very strange person." "Are you sure?" Baili Fengzhi couldn't help asking. "Why would I lie to you?" Lin Yue said helplessly. Baili Fengzhi thought for a while, then sat down at the table inside the room, saying: "Please continue your cultivation, Your Highness. I will guard you here tonight." "Are you sure?" Lin Yue asked. "That... I'm not, indeed." Baili Fengzhi immediately bowed: "I will send someone to notify the Patrol Envoy right away." She promptly opened the window and shot out a fiery red signal arrow. After a short while, when Vice-Marshal Chu arrived, Baili Fengzhi instructed: "Go notify the Patrol Envoy immediately, tell them an assassin has infiltrated Your Highness's room." Once Vice-Marshal Chu left, Baili Fengzhi sat down in the room and said: "Your Highness, be at ease, if the assassin truly had overwhelming strength, they wouldn't sneak around like this. They're likely very adept at Concealing Breath." Something still felt off to Lin Yue. That dark-clad girl didn't seem like an assassin skilled in hiding, it felt more like she was disguised in haste to conceal her identity. Seeing Lin Yue's continued concern, Baili Fengzhi said: "If Your Highness is not at ease, starting tonight, I will guard you day and night." "Hmm." Lin Yue pondered then said: "Why don't you send me to Prison to stay?" "Prison?" Baili Fengzhi asked in confusion: "Why does Your Highness want to stay in Prison?" "Taoist Tu is in..." Lin Yue hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly froze, looking behind Baili Fengzhi. Baili Fengzhi's pupils also suddenly shrank, and in an instant, her form moved, becoming a blur as she positioned herself in front of Lin Yue. Behind where she had just been, that dark-clad girl now stood. "You really did lie to me! I just heard her call you 'Your Highness'." The dark-clad girl pointed at Baili Fengzhi, then stared at Lin Yue, "You are the Prince!" Lin Yue said earnestly: "I am the Princely Heir, not the Prince." "You're lying, I can tell!" The dark-clad girl snorted, "Doesn't matter, it's you anyway. Come with me." "Child-like innocence?" Baili Fengzhi frowned at the dark-clad girl, then spoke lowly: "Who are you? Why are you targeting His Highness?" "My master won't let me say, I can't tell you." The dark-clad girl tilted her head, sizing up Baili Fengzhi, and said in her muffled voice: "You look like you're good at fighting, but you're too weak, definitely not my match. Can you hand him over to me?" "Hmm?" Baili Fengzhi grasped with both hands, and immediately, two halves of a spear shaft and a spearhead appeared in her hands. In an instant, with a twist and a spin, they combined into a long spear. Then, in a split second, a dark red Power burst forth from her, her momentum already at its Peak, as she thrust the spear at the dark-clad girl!
