That man had a face as cold as the moonlight. His aura, in particular, made people feel that he was holy and inviolable.
Qin Que Xi believed that he didn't lose to him in terms of looks, but the other party's aura was the most attractive.
Sure enough, he subconsciously looked at Gu Shengyin and found that the other party's eyes lit up. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
She was interested in this man. This realization made Qin Que Xi's face darken.
The Imperial Concubine Lord seemed to be satisfied with this young master and asked a few questions in succession.
After asking, the Imperial Concubine Lord looked at his eldest daughter with an inquiring gaze.
That man was clearly standing obediently, but it made people feel that he was looking down at them from above.
Gu Shengyin seemed to be attracted to him and said indifferently, "Come closer and let me take a look."
The man obediently took two steps forward.
Gu Shengyin didn't seem to think it was enough. "Come closer."
Any closer and the two of them would be leaning against each other! Qin Que Xi's hand gripped the armrest of the chair so tightly that it seemed like he was going to crush it.
Seeing that the distance between the two of them was shrinking, an unforeseen event happened in an instant.
The man suddenly raised his head and a soft sword popped out of his long sleeve with a whoosh. The blade of the sword was like flowing water as it attacked the Imperial Concubine sitting on the chair.
The Imperial Concubine Lord cried out in alarm.
Gu Shengyin's expression didn't change and she dodged the attack in a flash.
At the same time, a few of the young masters who were originally standing at the back flashed out and surrounded Gu Shengyin, who was fighting with the man.
It was obvious that these people's target was Gu Shengyin.
The Imperial Concubine Lord was already surrounded by the palace servants and the palace guards hadn't arrived yet.
Gu Shengyin also felt a little troubled. These assassins didn't seem to be from the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty. Their moves were strange and she couldn't get away for a while.
A figure flashed in front of her and a folding fan instantly blocked a dagger coming from the side.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Shengyin's expression darkened when she saw who it was.
Qin Que Xi calmly fended off the assassin on the side. "Let me see what kind of charm this young master of yours has."
This man, at a time like this, still cared about his poisonous tongue.
Gu Shengyin felt a little helpless. She already knew that there was an assassin among this group of young masters. She even let that person get close to her just now to give him a chance to strike.
She even knew who the mastermind behind all of this was.
The reason why she dared to be so arrogant was because she was confident that she could hold on until the arrival of the guards.
However, Qin Que Xi's arrival had indeed lessened the pressure on her.
On the contrary, the assassins on the other side felt that something was wrong. They didn't have much time left. If the guards rushed over, they wouldn't have the chance to attack anymore.
Thinking of the consequences of failing the mission, this group of people's attacks changed. They actually directly attacked without any regard for their lives.
She would rather risk her own injury to leave a wound on Gu Shengyin's body.
Enemies who weren't afraid of death were often the hardest to deal with.
Glancing around, she saw that the guards had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall. Gu Shengyin breathed a sigh of relief. However, her eyes caught a glimpse of a scene that made her pupils shrink.
"Be careful!" Qin Que Xi only felt his body being hugged and turned around forcefully. Following that, he watched as the sharp tip of a snow-white blade pierced through Gu Shengyin's chest.
Gu Shengyin's last thought before she fainted was, "System, remove the sense of pain."
Qin Que Xi watched as she closed her eyes in his arms.
His entire body was trembling.
