Chapter 404
After only a cup of tea, the guardian, who had already shown his victories, scattered the few people who came to assassinate and fled.

As soon as the sound of Jin Ge stopped, the alley suddenly became quiet again.

"Thank you to the knights for your help." Seeing that her life was saved, Qing Xing, who had been cowering in a corner in fright before, quickly walked out and saluted the two who were protecting her.

"Miss Qingxing, you don't need to thank me, the two of us are just following orders." One of the men glanced at Qingxing lightly to confirm that she was not injured before continuing, "Master has already anticipated what happened today.

"We brothers came here because we received orders from our master to protect the girl.

"At the same time, the master also asked us to say something to the girl. If you are assassinated today, you don't need to see him anymore, just go back to Cen's residence."

"This..." Qing Xing was in a dilemma, "But today's matter, I still have to report..."

"It's okay, let me convey it, it's the same." Probably because he knew that talking about it wasn't enough for Qing Xing to confide his heart directly to them, so as soon as he finished speaking, he showed Qing Xing something in his sleeve glance.

Seeing the token, Qing Xing immediately relaxed.

Cherry lips moved a few times, and she carefully told the two of today's discussion process and results.

"Okay, my second brother will send the girl back to the mansion later, so I'll report the situation to the master first." After saying that, he cupped his fists at Qing Xing and left.

The person who stayed at the same place made a "please" gesture to Qing Xing, and followed Qing Xing on the way back to Cen's residence.

"They left, and the direction has changed..." Looking around, Huajiao frowned, "Looking at this, Qingxing doesn't plan to meet her backer anymore. Girl, should we follow the other..."

"No need." Cen Yuwei shook her head, "That person is not weak, so it would be wrong to catch up rashly. Besides, I may have already guessed their purpose."

"The girl knows their intentions?!"

"Well, let's talk about it when we get back." Cen Yuwei nodded, then tapped the eaves, and drifted away.

...

As Cen Yuwei expected, after splitting up, Qing Xing embarked on the road back to Cen's residence.

As soon as she and Huajiao arrived at the Cen Mansion, Qing Xing appeared in the Cen Mansion on the back foot.

Moreover, at this moment, she once again regained her composure.

"I didn't expect her to be able to adjust her mentality." Huajiao curled her lips and muttered in a low voice, "If I hadn't known each other for a few years, I would definitely think that there are two people hiding in the corner of the alley."

"She doesn't know martial arts, so it's right to hide immediately when she sees people fighting." Cen Yuwei smiled and patted the little girl's hair, but she had no choice but to correct, "It depends on whether a person has the courage or not, and you have to pick the critical moment."

"What is the critical moment?" Huajiao's eyes flashed with confusion.

"It was when she was bargaining with the female shopkeeper in the backyard of the rouge shop." Cen Yuwei squeezed the corner of her mouth and sneered, "A person like her who dares to fool even Rui Wang and his wife is really bold."

"When did she fool King Rui and his wife?!" Huajiao raised her head in astonishment.

"What happened today was caused by her fooling around." Cen Yuwei rubbed the space between her brows, and roughly recounted the conversation that she overheard today, similar to Huajiao.

After finishing speaking, she pursed her lips and said, "When I first heard Nanny Chen's wrong deduction, I didn't take it seriously. But after thinking about it, I think this might be Qing Xing's purpose.

"Let Princess Rui think that she belongs to me, and then provoke King Rui to deal with the Cen family."
