When Zhao Qian reached Hidden Dragon Palace, the palace guards had already caught up with him.
Taking advantage of their numbers, they quickly surrounded him like a wall, trapping Zhao Qian in the center.
In the face of so many menacing weapons, Zhao Qian was distressed.
He had never imagined that he would actually have to fend off the palace guards one day.
Would it be too late to take off his mask now?
At this moment, he heard an obnoxious voice.
“Ha, I’ve never seen such a fat assassin in my life. I’m curious, how did you sneak past the palace guards’ inspection with such a fat body?”
If Zhao Qian’s gaze could turn into arrows, Chu Yi would have already become a hornet’s nest from being shot all over.
To prevent the situation from getting worse and disturbing his master, Zhao Qian had already placed his hand on his mask, ready to take it off and turn himself in.
However, before he could do anything, a familiar and intimidating voice came from behind the palace guards.
“What’s going on?”
“Greetings, Your Majesty. An assassin has broken into the palace,” a general reported to him loudly and clearly.
Zhao Qian froze in his actions, frightened out of his wits.
He was done for, Master would definitely take him apart bone by bone!
He could already predict his sorrowful fate.
His face was ashen for a moment.
However, when he saw Lu Liangwei standing beside his master, his eyes flashed. Since he was going to die anyway, he needed to finish his task before dying.
With that in mind, he gritted his teeth, pulled out the sword hanging on his waist, and made a false move. Before the palace guards could react, he dashed toward Lu Liangwei.
He was obviously targeting Lu Liangwei.
Shocked, Chu Yi immediately stepped forward and parried the blow with his sword.
Seeing that he had blocked his attack, Zhao Qian felt like coughing blood.
This idiot Chu Yi, how dare he rob Master of his limelight? He really deserved a good beating.
Although Chu Yi usually slacked off, he was highly skilled in martial arts.
Caught in combat with him, Zhao Qian could not find a chance to escape.
Seeing that his master had retreated to one side while guarding Lu Liangwei, he was secretly agitated.
Such an opportunity was rare to come by. After this time, it would be difficult to create another one.
It was rare for Master to care about a girl, so he needed to give him a helping hand and let him win her over as soon as possible.
Chu Yi was secretly surprised that his opponent could match him in martial arts.
Master was still watching. There was no way he would fall behind.
Just when he was about to unleash his full power, his opponent suddenly seemed to have understood his tactics, stopping him from using his full strength.
At this moment, his opponent threw a flying kick at him, aiming for his crotch.
His expression changed drastically.
He did not expect this assassin to be so obscene.
While he was defending himself, the assassin had already dashed past and behind him.
Master and Second Miss Lu were standing behind him.
Alarmed, Chu Yi spun around to block the attack.
However, he had hardly turned when he heard a sudden bang. In the next instant, smoke exploded through the air, followed by an unusually pungent smell.
Coming to a realization, he hurriedly covered his nose and mouth and rushed forward.
Through the smoke, he saw the plump assassin squatting on the ground and coughing violently.
“It stings so bad, am I turning blind?”
At the sound of his voice, Chu Yi was dumbfounded for a while. When he finally regained his senses, he stepped forward, ignoring the stinging smoke, and pulled the person up from the ground.
He tore the mask off, revealing a familiarly fair and chubby face.
“Zhao Qian!” Chu Yi gritted his teeth in rage. Remembering that this fellow was so obscene as to attack his crotch in their fight just now, he had the urge to castrate him again.
