If Yixuan hadn’t acted recklessly, given the fledgling bond Dong Huiying felt when she first opened her eyes and saw him, perhaps her heart would have had room for Yixuan alone, and it wouldn’t have developed into the current situation where six heroes are contending for her affections.

Right now, Shujun is snuggled close to Dong Huiying, her gaze sly and cunning, paired with that alluring red outfit, she looks just like a clever and treacherous red fox.

Dong Huiying chuckled, "What did Yixuan do to upset you again?" Many times, she feels a bit helpless; the people in her family are quite the troublemakers, while her greatest wish is for everyone to be together peacefully and happily.

They are her family, and by now, they have become indispensable parts of her life, each being critically important.

Shujun pouted, "I’m just annoyed with him."

Dong Huiying smiled despite herself, "You’re definitely overthinking things. The troublesome peach blossom you mentioned... it wasn’t Yixuan deliberately attracting them, he doesn’t even know they exist, there’s definitely a big misunderstanding at play here."

Shujun said sourly, "Do you trust Yixuan a little too much?"

"I understand his character, you know."

"But, what if Yixuan really went out of his way to attract outsiders?"

Dong Huiying paused.

Shujun said gloomily, "What if Yixuan falls for another woman?"

Dong Huiying’s mouth twitched, "That..."

As she was about to respond, a clear and smooth voice cut in.

Yixuan stared unkindly at his Third Brother with a smile still on his face, although his eyes showed coldness. Standing outside the door, he still managed a smile.

"Third Brother, you’re overthinking. But speaking of troublesome peach blossoms, I do recall one matter. Back in Taihang Town, He Su seemed to be quite a troublesome peach blossom. Moreover, this troublesome peach blossom was actually Third Brother’s web to untangle."

The brothers mocking each other, Yixuan stepped inside from outside, his cold gaze like a warning that Shujun was crossing a line, and if he dared to provoke him again—even though the opponent was his Third Brother—he would certainly give Shujun a beating.

Daring to smear him in front of his wife?

Yixuan chuckled and then ignored Shujun, walking over to Dong Huiying. "Wife, it’s getting late, time to rest."

Dong Huiying awkwardly glanced at one, then the other, finally... "Ahem!"

She chose to play the turtle!

So she shrank her little head, chuckling dryly as she pushed the two out the door, covering herself with a big blanket to sleep.

...

Midnight.

The bright white moon brushed against the treetops, a group of assassins in Night Walk Clothes were advancing in the darkness.

Dong Huiying and her companions were resting in the village, and the assassins’ target was precisely this village.

However.

Before they could get near the village.

Suddenly!

With a swish, a Longsword pierced through the chest of a People in Black, followed swiftly by phantom-like figures in Crescent moon Cheongsams, appearing silently behind these People in Black.

These figures were recognizable not just by their Crescent moon Cheongsams, but also by their Silver Masks, with both men and women among them.

Silently opening a massacre!

Moments later.

The ground was covered with assassins’ bodies, and those mysterious people began their cleanup work, until finally, aside from the faint scent of blood wafting from afar, not only were the bodies gone, but even splattered bloodstains had disappeared, and any traces of the battle had been completely erased.

After these mysterious people retreated, a handsome and dignified man in the village, dressed in emerald attire, holding half a jug of wine, smiled faintly as he paid respects to the chilly moonlight.
