The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 322: Robbery
Xie Lan was ready to take action at any time, but she soon found that she had no chance to do so.

Although those black-clad assassins were all highly skilled in martial arts, the two teams of guards that Xiao Jin brought to welcome the bride were also quite skilled.

The servants carrying the dowry were all personal guards of the Prince of Nanping's palace. When they saw someone dare to assassinate the eldest prince, they all dropped their dowries, rushed forward without hesitation, and started a fierce fight with the assassin.

The wedding procession had just set out. This place was only five streets away from Prince Nanping's Palace, and the movement here was quickly reported to Prince Nanping.

Seeing a group of armored guards rushing towards him from the other end of the long street, Xie Lan's heart slowly relaxed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xie Lan suddenly heard someone behind the sedan say in a low voice, "Now, let's go."

Xie Lan was startled and turned her head subconsciously, only to find that she was still in the sedan chair and could not see anyone outside at all. However, she inexplicably felt that the voice just now seemed familiar.

But perhaps because her mind was still on the fight just now, coupled with the noise of fighting outside, she couldn't hear it clearly. At this moment, Xie Lan couldn't remember where she had heard this voice before.

Although she didn't know whether the person coming was a friend or an enemy, Xie Lan immediately started to perform a spell. Just as she was about to take action, she found that the sedan chair was suddenly lifted up.

On the other side, Xiao Jin was concentrating on fighting a group of evil spirits. Someone suddenly panicked and shouted, "Prince, it's bad. Someone is trying to steal the bride!"

Xiao Jin's face suddenly changed, and his heart felt like it was hit by a huge hammer.

He suddenly waved a spell to force back the evil spirit in front of him, then quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the sedan chair, just in time to see four men in gray carrying the sedan chair and quickly disappearing around the corner of the street.

Xiao Jin was filled with shock and anger. He no longer cared about the evil spirits and immediately used his lightness skills to chase after them.

Zhuifeng had been with Xiao Jin for many years and was very smart. Upon hearing the urgent whistle, he immediately ran towards him.

Xiao Jin tapped his toes lightly and leaped onto the horse's back.

Zhuifeng seemed to sense his master's anxiety. He looked up to the sky and let out a long neigh. With the wind blowing from his four hooves, he rushed off in the direction where the sedan chair had left like an arrow.

In front of the eldest prince's mansion, Master Ling Feng stroked his beard and was looking forward to it with several fellow disciples. Thinking that his youngest disciple was going to get married, he was overwhelmed with emotions.

Xie Lan was nominally his disciple, but he had raised her by himself, and he had long considered her his own daughter. She was getting married, and he felt relieved but also sad.

But thinking that it was a good thing that the girl was married and had a senior disciple watching over her, he no longer had to worry about her running back to the Sanqing Temple and causing trouble, making him mad every other day.

Seeing the big red sedan chair coming from afar, Master Ling Feng smiled lovingly. However, the next moment, he saw the figure riding a horse beside him, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Why is it you? Where is your senior brother?"

Gu Yunting glanced at Ling Feng Zhenren nonchalantly, and as he got off his horse, he nonchalantly said, "Master, you are so distracted. I just came back from a near-death experience on the battlefield, and you haven't seen me for so long. You didn't even bother to ask about me, but you asked about my senior brother right away. It seems that I am worse than a weed on the roadside in front of you."

Master Ling Feng had long been accustomed to the unruly behavior of these four disciples, and glared at him unhappily, "You are standing in front of your master with all your strength, and you are not missing any limbs."

Seeing the bright red brocade robe on him, Ling Feng Zhenren frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death. "Isn't this the wedding attire? Why are you wearing this?"

Seeing his master and a group of uncles and uncles looking at him, Gu Yunting straightened his back subconsciously, lowered his head to adjust his collar, and then smiled nonchalantly. "I'm going to get married, what else should I wear if not the wedding dress?"

His matter-of-fact tone made Ling Feng Zhenren even more confused. "It's not you who are getting married, why are you getting married? Where is your senior brother?"

Gu Yunting curled his lips, "I'm not the elder brother's follower, how would I know where he is? Maybe he was summoned to the palace by the emperor. Master, if you are looking for the elder brother, then go to the palace to find him. The auspicious time is coming soon, and I have to get married with my younger sister, so I won't see you off."

Master Ling Feng was so angry that he almost couldn't help but take off his ten-square shoes and throw them at him, "Nonsense, this is the lifelong event of your senior brother and junior sister, what kind of temple are you worshipping!"

Gu Yunting glanced at him lazily without saying anything. He walked towards the servant beside him and prepared to take the bow and arrow to shoot the bridal sedan.

Master Ling Feng was having a headache when he suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves. He turned around subconsciously and saw Xiao Jin, with a gloomy face, riding his horse galloping towards him, followed by a group of anxious guards.

When Gu Yunting saw Xiao Jin, he raised his eyebrows and turned around to draw his bow and arrow.

However, at this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came with a fierce momentum, as fast as lightning.

Gu Yunting reacted extremely quickly, his body dodged to the side in an instant, and a sharp arrow flew past his ear.

Although Gu Yunting dodged quickly, Xiao Jin's figure was even faster than the wind. Before his feet landed on the ground and stood firmly, Xiao Jin's fist was already wrapped in a whistling wind and smashed towards his face fiercely.

In a hurry, although Gu Yunting tried his best to dodge, Xiao Jin's punch was too fast. He dodged his eyes but was hit hard on the cheek.

Gu Yunting was knocked so hard that he staggered back several steps before he could steady himself.

Xiao Jin glanced at him coldly without saying anything, turned around and walked quickly towards the sedan chair, pulling open the curtain. Seeing Xie Lan sitting steadily in the sedan chair, staring at him, Xiao Jin finally let go of his worries.

"Is there anything uncomfortable?"

After the bridal sedan was carried away, Xie Lan quickly discovered that the person who had stolen the bride was his fourth senior brother.

Although she was startled at first, the four bearers who carried the bridal sedan were guards who grew up with Gu Yunting and had first-rate martial arts skills. They carried the sedan quickly and steadily, and she was not hurt at all.

Xie Lan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jin, "Master Lao, you are worried. I am fine."

Seeing her looking at him with a gloomy look in her eyes, Xiao Jin opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the King of Nanping riding his horse hurriedly over with a group of armored guards.

Xie Lan didn't expect her father to come over. Seeing his worried expression, she said before he could speak, "Don't worry, father. I'm fine."

Seeing his daughter sitting safely in the bridal sedan, Prince Nanping's nervousness finally dissipated. He was just about to ask Xiao Jin who was so bold as to steal the bride.

But before he could open his mouth, he saw a young man in a bright red brocade robe walking towards him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you are interested in recruiting a live-in son-in-law. Take a look at me. Are you satisfied with me?"
