Liu Qingshan looked at Liu Yaoyao with contempt, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if mocking her for living in a muddle and being only fit to be a pawn in the hands of others.

"Answer me, or you will die here today."

Liu Yaoyao's eyes were fixed on his expression. When she saw his raised eyebrows, she guessed what he was thinking at the moment. Her face instantly became as ugly as if ink had been splashed on it.

"Oh no, there's an assassin."

Liu Qingshan did not answer Liu Yaoyao, but continued to play the flute. Half a cup of tea later, a group of men in black rushed out from the darkness, holding long swords and killing the Eighth Prince and others.

The officials who were watching the excitement were frightened and started shouting.

The Eighth Prince's ears hurt from their noise, and he immediately scolded them: "Why are you making so much noise? Hurry up and step back, don't hold us back here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ordered his men to fight back against the assassins.

Liu Yaoyao saw that the Eighth Prince had many people and Liu Qingshan had not summoned many people with his flute, so she said sarcastically, "Even if you join the New Heaven Society, you are not as good as me."

"Do you want to compete with me on this matter too?" Liu Qingshan was surprised when he heard what Liu Yaoyao said.

Liu Yaoyao listened and felt extremely unhappy.

She ignored her own injuries and attacked again.

Liu Qingshan's face was full of anger: "I didn't want to expose myself, but you forced me, Liu Yaoyao. If I had known you would be so cruel, I should have asked my father to kill you. In this way, I wouldn't be blocked here by you today."

While he was fighting back against Liu Yaoyao, he was also observing the situation on the Eighth Prince's side.

Seeing that Chen Changli had rushed over with a group of people and his men were retreating step by step, he instantly felt that Liu Yaoyao was a disaster.

He hated it so much that he used the poisonous insect.

When Liu Yaoyao saw the poisonous insect appear, she became more and more angry.

"How did you join the New Heaven Society? Did that old man Liu Feng allow you to do this?"

"Liu Qingshan, answer me quickly."

Her master established the Xintian Society, and those who joined it were either people of outstanding ability or people with deep blood feuds.

Who is Liu Qingshan? He is a member of the Liu family and a remnant of the previous dynasty. How can he join the New Heaven Society?

"Guess." Liu Qingshan teased Liu Yaoyao like a cat playing with a mouse.

"You must have used tricks to deceive people, Liu Qingshan, I will not forgive you." Liu Yaoyao didn't want to guess and just blamed Liu Qingshan.

She rushed towards Liu Qingshan regardless of anything, wanting to hug him and die together.

"Crazy woman." Liu Qingshan was furious when he realized Liu Yaoyao's intention. He had to call others to protect himself.

Chen Changli arrived in time. Not only did he lead his men to fight off Liu Qingshan's men, but when he found out that Liu Qingshan needed someone to protect him, he seized his weakness and then rushed over to seriously injure him.

When Liu Yaoyao saw this, her eyes lit up and she immediately followed Chen Changli closely, attacking Liu Qingshan as soon as she got the chance.

She attacked ruthlessly, and in just a few breaths, Liu Qingshan's body was covered with wounds. If he stayed any longer, he would probably be tortured to death.

"Chang Xuewei is in my hands. If you want to see her, you have to stop. Otherwise, you will never see her again in your life."

Liu Qingshan didn't want to die here, so he used Chang Xuewei to threaten Liu Yaoyao.

"Why is she with you?" Liu Yaoyao was quite shocked.

Chen Changli's eyes darkened, but his attack speed was not slow. "Liu Yaoyao, he is lying to you. If you take his words seriously, then I will have to consider our cooperation."

Liu Yaoyao was still in a trance, so Liu Qingshan took the opportunity to grab her and hold her hostage. "Don't come over, or I'll kill her."

Chen Changli didn't move. He just looked at Liu Yaoyao, waiting for her reaction. "Liu Yaoyao, why are you still standing there? Do you really want to become his hostage?"

Liu Yaoyao came to her senses and found herself caught by Liu Qingshan. She narrowed her eyes dangerously and quickly threw the most poisonous insect at Liu Qingshan.

"If you want to use me to escape, do it in your next life."

When he was bitten and subconsciously reached out to touch the wound, Liu Yaoyao elbowed him and quickly pulled out the hairpin and scratched his neck.

Liu Qingshan was already seriously injured, and the poison from the insect bite injected all the toxins into his body through the wound, so his reaction became a little slow.

Liu Yaoyao's slash left him with no time to react and he was cut directly, with a large amount of blood spurting out. After he came to his senses, he looked at Liu Yaoyao in disbelief. After two breaths, he fell to the ground, motionless.

"Haha, Liu Qingshan is finally dead. I am free now."

Looking at Liu Qingshan who died with his eyes open, Liu Yaoyao subconsciously grasped the blood-stained hairpin in her hand. A look of confusion flashed in her eyes, but the next moment she collapsed on the ground and burst into laughter.

"Chen Changli, who is this woman?"

Listening to Liu Yaoyao's words, the Eighth Prince walked over and looked at Chen Changli with a puzzled look.

"My name is Liu Yaoyao. I used to be the daughter of the Liu family. However, I was raised as a secret guard since I was a child. The reason I became a secret guard was because of Liu Qingshan's mother. I killed him now to avenge my mother and myself."

Without waiting for Chen Changli to answer, Liu Yaoyao stood up and answered the Eighth Prince.

"The daughter of the Liu family? You are indeed a remnant of the previous dynasty." The Eighth Prince's face was tense, but he quickly glanced at Chen Changli out of the corner of his eye.

He wanted to ask how Chen Changli knew Liu Yaoyao, and how the dead man appeared in the cold palace wearing eunuch's clothes.

After a second thought, he suppressed the thought of asking and stared at Liu Yaoyao with vigilance, "I searched the entire Luoyang City before, but I didn't see any trace of you two, so where were you hiding before?"

"Does this matter?" Liu Yaoyao listened to the Eighth Prince's words and knew that he was doubting her, so she asked him back deliberately.

"It doesn't matter. After all, you are already in our hands." The Eighth Prince sneered.

Liu Yaoyao frowned: "You really don't want to suffer any loss at all."

The Eighth Prince raised his eyebrows: "You are a remnant of the previous dynasty, a traitor. If I suffer at your hands, won't I lose my life?"

"What I care about most is my own life, so I will never allow you to plot against me."

When the Eighth Prince said the last sentence, he deliberately glanced at Chen Changli, as if he was pointing at him with these words.

Chen Changli felt his gaze and understood his thoughts. He said calmly, "Your Highness, this man's appearance is very strange. I suspect that the people guarding the cold palace have been infiltrated by his people, so we have to find these people next."

The Eighth Prince's eyelids jumped when he heard this: "The people guarding the cold palace are all imperial guards. How could this traitor bribe them?"

Chen Changli was stunned when he heard this. After transferring the message, he said, "Aren't there thieves among us? They might be the ones who did it."

The Eighth Prince's face darkened: "What are you going to do? Use this dead man, or use my father?"
